Summary
Castiel doesn’t sleep. Or, at least, he doesn’t need to. That still doesn’t explain the many nights he spends in his room at the bunker, blankets pulled tight and his pillow tucked at awkward angles under his head. At most, he rests fitfully, never quite sitting still long enough to sleep for more than a few minutes at a time; the mattress isn’t comfortable, the air is stale, and all that Castiel can hear is the foundation settling and the soft snores emanating from the rooms down the hall.
Some nights, he lies there and listens to Dean sleep, his pulse a steady thrum through layers of concrete and empty space. Only then does Castiel find solace in resting alone, as long as he doesn’t lose the connection. As long as Dean doesn’t stray too far away.
And some nights, Dean comes to him.
