Why this must be read: It's a season 6 story that hints at the strain between the characters without ever really calling attention to it, which fits very much with the show. There are so many things the characters just don't talk about. This is Dean and Cas coming together, comforting one another, but not really acknowledging that's what it's about. There are hints of humor, passion, compassion, but they're subtle, as if the story and the characters are weighed down by their lives. It aptly captures the feeling of the show's later seasons.
It's not the first time they've done this. The span of Cas' borrowed skin is familiar to Dean's hands, the way his breath hitches, the wild sound of his heart. He pushes his face into Dean's neck, mouth open, breathing him in.
This isn't romance. It's never been like that between them, and anyway, Dean wouldn't have the first clue how to go about romancing Cas even if he wanted to. This is comfort, pure and simple.
Or, you know, not so pure. What with the whole undressing an angel thing.
Cas is murmuring snatches of words against his skin. Old words, the syllables of Enochian rolling off his tongue like bells. He's always been a talker.
