Work Text:
When Cas first got hurt, Dean made sure that Cas was resting and relaxing.
“Dean…I will be OK…it wasn’t that ba-”
“Wasn’t that bad, my ass, Cas. You’re gonna rest. It’s fine. Just lie down.”
“But we need to work, Dean. We just can’t stop wo-”
“Cas, yes we can. Me and Sammy have done it before. I can take a break now and help you heal up.”
Cas nodded, and lied back on the bed, starting to slowly relax, and Dean gave a soft smile.

When Cas called for help, Dean was on it, making sure that Cas was comfy and that he didn’t grow bored while he recuperated.
Cas seemed to find some slight amusement in it, smiling brightly when Dean showed up, and Dean returned the grin.
“You don’t always have to be waiting on me.” Cas said, sitting up straighter as he grew healthier.
“I don't have to. But I want to. I want to Cas. You’re like family, man. When you get hurt, I’m gonna make sure you’ll be OK.”
Cas smiled pleasantly, and started to move before Dean stopped him.
“What do ya need Cas?” Dean asked.
“I just wanted a book to read.”
“Anything in particular?”
“No. I would just enjoy something to read. It appears ‘bed rest’, as you call it, is starting to become a bore on me.”
Dean laughed warmly, and grabbed a book.
“I know the feeling, Cas.” Dean said. “I just want to make sure that you get all healed up.” He added softly.
“I understand Dean.” Cas replied, hand brushing against Dean’s as he took the book. “It’s alright.”
Dean nodded, and turned to walk away. “You need anything, just give me a holler.”
“I will keep that in mind.” Cas said. “Thank you for everything Dean.”
“Don’t worry about it Cas.”
