“Hey, Cas? You awake?”
“Hmm.”
“I’ve been thinking… you’ve… never done this before, right?”
“I’ve attempted sleep plenty of times since my fall.”
“Jesus, no, I mean… a relationship. You’ve never been in one before.”
“This is a first for me, yes.”
“And you’re really old.”
“You’re not getting any younger either, you know.”
“Hey – you know what I mean.”
“That I am as old as the earth. I understand.”
“…why now?”
“Why…now?”
“Yeah. You’ve had such a long fucking life, and you’ve only started dating now?”
“Well, that’s your fault.”
“What?”
“I would have started a lot earlier if you’d only existed sooner.”
“…”
“Dean? Are you alright?”
“What? Yeah, I’m fine.”
“You’re sniffling.”
“I’m not.”
“You are.”
“I’m getting a cold.”
“Then come closer so I can warm you up.”
“Alright. Frickin octopus.”
“I love you, Dean. Thank you for existing.”
“I… love you, too.”
“We should get your cold looked at tomorrow. It sounds like it’s getting worse.”
“Smartass.”
