Summary
"Castiel, too?" Sam asked, sounding happy. “I really thought he was gone.”
Dean felt his pulse do a strange dance in his chest as ice seeped through his veins. He hadn't heard Sam bring up Cas for… a while. It was a subject that was not brought up – a silent contact between them. The few times Sam had broached the subject, Dean’s composure of playing it cool had crumbled, and the name became a source of pain in their life that was avoided at all costs. Sam must have forgotten. Dean struggled to sound casual.
"Yeah. Yeah, of course," Dean said. Like it was obvious. "Jack got him out and… Cas… helped rebuild heaven for everyone, whatever that means. You know. Angel stuff." The name felt like torture in his mouth, ripping new holes where old scars had formed.
“I cared about the whole world… because of you.”

Dean comes to grips with Heaven, fighting intrusive thoughts and grief he's kept buried. Like Bobby said, it's a Heaven that Dean deserves. But as we all know, Dean deserves more than he got.
