Summary
Dean rolls over, stretching a hand over to the other side of the bed.
Cold.
He heads down the hallway and into the kitchen, expecting Cas to be sitting there with coffee, smiling at him in that soft way.
But it’s empty.
He checks the war room. Observatory. Even doubles back to the room Cas used to call his. Garage. He calls six times before he bangs open the door to Sam’s room.
“Cas is gone,” Dean says bluntly.
Sam lowers his gun once he sees it’s Dean, rubbing at his eyes. “Okay, but...” He blinks. “Isn’t that kind of what he does?”
“He hasn’t answered any of my calls,” Dean growls. “And this time, it’s—” he cuts off, wishing he could snatch the words back.
Sam tilts his head.
“It’s... what, Dean?”
Dean is silent, looking down at the floor.
“Oh.”
Dean swallows.“Oh,” Sam says again.

Summary
[originally published in To Hell + Back Anthology]
Dean Winchester is a professional soccer player on the verge of retirement. After this season's playoffs — win or lose — he'll have to say goodbye to his team and make the arduous move to the opposite coast... but it seems like a fair trade for some measure of anonymity and time with his new niece.
Castiel Novak, the team's assistant physiotherapist, has a few things to say before Dean leaves.

Summary
This was the most they’d spoken in weeks, and even though Cas was being a prickly bastard, Dean was slammed with a sudden, burrowing longing. He’d missed Cas, missed his dry wit, the annoyed growling sounds he made in the back of his throat; he missed the full-body eye rolls and the bird's nest hair and the comfortable silences. Maybe he was just drained from the Lee thing, maybe that was just the cherry on top of a shitty cake, but despite the fact that Cas had every reason to, Dean suddenly, desperately wanted him not to walk out.
