driving the impala back to the bunker

Summary:

Day 19-magical exhaustion

After a hunt, Castiel uses the last of his magical strength to heal dean, but because of it, he can’t fly, so he has to drive the impala while dean is passed out

Work Text:

Dean:’thrown to the ground, he winces and stands up, he moves his hand from his side to see blood’shit………cas!

Castiel: I'm working on getting this ogre down!

Dean: Well hurry up! I’m bleeding over here!

Then a roll of bandages is thrown at his face.

Dean:...........what the fuck cas?!

Castiel: Well, I'm sorry I can't heal you right now but I’M CURRENTLY TRYING TO KEEP US ALIVE! So just bandage your wound until I'm able to handle this ogre! In case you haven’t noticed, Dean, I'm running low on energy and I'm trying to use what energy I have left to keep us alive!

Dean:.............i’ll just shut up now.

Then Castiel holds his hands up and shoots another blast at the ogre, the ogre roars and hits Castiel with its giant wooden club, Castiel coughs up blood and holds his stomach and chest, he holds up his hand again.

Castiel: you won’t kill us!

Then he tries to stand up and falls to the ground, coughing up more blood, he wipes it off his face and growls.

Castiel: leave us alone!

Then he shoots a huge blast at the ogre, and soon, it falls to the ground and dies, Castiel lays on the ground and holds himself.

Castiel: ugh………….

Then he slowly stands up and walks towards dean.

Dean: cas……….

Then castiel puts a hand on dean and starts using his magic on him, then he feels his cut and bruises being healed, and soon, they are all healed, but dean feels his vision starting to get blurry, he whines.

Dean: I don't feel so good………..

Then he passes out, Castiel picks him up.

Castiel: It's ok dean……….

Then he stumbles towards the impala and after rummaging through dean’s pockets, he grabs the key and uses it to unlock it, and once it’s unlocked, he puts dean in the backseat, who groans, but still remains unconscious, Castiel gently kisses his forehead before he goes into the driver’s seat.

Castiel: I can't use my magic to go back to the bunker……….so i guess i’ll have to drive the impala back to the bunker………..

Then he puts the key in and starts the car, and soon, he starts driving back to the bunker, he frowns and looks at the road.

Castiel: it hurts………..

Then he wipes the blood off his mouth.

Castiel: I need to get back into the bunker as soon as possible………I need to get my energy back up so I can heal myself……..

Then he looks to the backseat and frowns.

Castiel: I had to use some of Dean's own energy to heal him………….i just didn’t expect him to pass out so quickly………..

He continues driving and stares at the road.

Castiel: I wonder……....if I did enough.

He just stares at the road as he looks at the blood.

Castiel: Dean is not going to be happy with this……….i just hope that i’ll be able to clean this up, but hopefully he'll give me the chance to explain myself before he starts to yell at me for getting his baby all bloody.

Later………..

Dean:’groans and slowly sits up’

He slowly sits up and rubs his eyes, he quickly sits up and looks around, looking for Castiel, then he sees that he’s in the bunker.

Dean: cas?

Castiel:’walks into the room’dean, you’re awake.

Dean: What the hell happened?

Castiel: you passed out after I use my magic to heal you, but I was suffering from magical exhaustion because I had to use so much of it today, and because I use the last of the energy I had to heal you, i also had to use some of your energy, which cost you to pass out, and I couldn't really use my wings at the moment.

Dean: cas, tell me-

Castiel: I drove the Impala.

Dean: What?!

Castiel: dean-

Dean: You better not have done anything to her! Please tell me you didn't crash her, and please tell me you didn't hit someone with her.

Castiel: Why is that your first assumption?

Dean: It's because I never seen you drive a car before, you usually teleport or some shit, how am I supposed to feel?!

Castiel: I suppose that is fair.

Dean: Just tell me if she's ok or not.

Castiel: Well, the roads were very empty so I didn't hit anyone with her, and I didn't crash into anything because I was going really slow.

Dean: Please tell me you didn't get pulled over.

Castiel: It was a very remote area so no.

Dean: True, but I'm just glad we didn't get in trouble with the law or anything, i just hope the body doesn't decompose so slowly, i want to be able to go out to fish soon, maybe we can try to make a fish sandwich or something.

Castiel: a fish sandwich?

Dean: ya.

Castiel: There is something I need to tell you though.

Dean: And what would that be?

Castiel: some of the blood got into the car and I didn't clean it again because I didn't know what to use.

Dean:.............

Castiel: Dean?

Dean:’takes a deep breath’ok, that’s fair, it’s not bad, at least you didn’t use anything to cause damage for it, and I appreciate you waiting for me to wake up so I can tell you what to use, or to let me handle it, just focus on getting your energy back so you can use your powers again, i just didn't expect the fight to be so……….

Castiel: long and hard?

Dean:..............’punches his arm’

Castiel: ow!

Dean: That was for making a joke.

Castiel: I made a joke?

Dean:’sighs and shakes his head’

Castiel:’looks at him’

Dean:...........thanks for being there for me, cas, and sorry for yelling at you, i was just……..well, i was in a lot of pain.

Castiel:’holds his hand and leans close to him’

Dean: and maybe i should teach you how to drive the impala so you know how to avoid getting arrested

Castiel:.........dean, i’m not going to commit a hit and run-

Dean: Not that, cas!

Castiel starts to laugh and soon, Dean starts to laugh, they are both laughing, they hold each other’s hands and lean close to each other.

Dean: I love you, cas.

Castiel: I love you too, dean.
