   Summary

   Dean has always known the unmeasurable worth of time.
   Like the responsible adult he's always been.

   So, he doesn’t know why he had just stood still, as his Cas had confessed his undying love for him.

   The universe gives Dean a second chance and sends him back to moments of the past that Dean hadn’t used.

   The fall in love again and again.
