Summary
Cas has had a very long, very hard day. And when he comes home, Dean gives him everything he needs to feel whole again.
Castiel is framed beautifully by the dying light through the coloured glass. He glows, almost, the blues and greens making him into a holy sight. It's an altar Dean has worshipped at many times. And maybe to any onlookers, this scene would be beatific. Dean knows better. The lines of Castiel's shoulders are a touch too tight, strained against the shirt he hasn't changed out of. His posture is too perfect, each bend and curve of his limbs perfectly lines up like he's trying to earn something. His face is pulled into a near-perfect imitation of calm, the only giveaway is the tremble in his mouth and tension in his jaw.
But Dean already knew something wasn't right. He didn't need to walk in here to know what he'd see. Cas needs putting back together. And, God help him, Dean will always do that.
