Prompt: Power couple!DeanCas. Preferably in law enforcement, at university, or any kind of occupation with a high profile
To an outsider, Casā expression might be mistaken for stoic solemnity. Dean knows his husband, though, knows heās furious. As soon as the nurse is doneĀ taking Deanās vitals and leaves, Cas is gonna tear into him.
Thatās why, as soon as sheās crossed the threshold, Dean is talking.Ā āYou know, most people would be honored to be married to a hero.ā
āWhat hero?ā Cas says, voice that deadly calm it always gets when heās righteously pissed.Ā āAll I see is an idiot who thinks his body can absorb bullets.ā
Dean knows heās gonna regret saying this, but,Ā āTechnically-ā
āYou know goddamn well what I mean,ā Cas snaps.Ā āWhy are you so reckless? Why do you insist on throwing your life away in the stupidest, most irresponsibleā¦ā
He trails off, breathing sharply through his nose. Dean frowns, feeling a little wounded (in more ways that the obvious).Ā āCas, I did it to save that kidās life.ā
āThat kid was a criminal,ā Cas reminds him, but thereās no real heat behind it.
āAnd he lives on to make terrible decisions for another day, thanks to me.ā Dean holds out his hand, knowing that despite how pissed he is Cas isnāt gonna refuse him this small comfort. Cas sighs before taking it, intertwining their fingers.Ā āAnd for the record, the media is calling me a hero.ā
Cas snorts, squeezing Deanās hand tight.Ā āOne newscaster called youĀ āheroicā. One.ā
āI think I sawĀ ādashingā somewhere, too. AndĀ āfearlessā.Ā āDevastatingly handsomeā has definitely been thrown around but thatās nothing new-ā
āDean,ā Cas cuts him off gently. Dean snaps his mouth shut, feeling chastened.Ā āJust⦠promise me youāll be more careful next time.ā
Itās not a promise Dean can keep. They both know that, because theyāve both been in this position more times than either cares to count. Dean probably more, because Cas is right. He is reckless. But when you work for the FBI, risking your life kind of comes with the territory.Ā
āYou knew what you were getting into when you married me,ā Dean jokes weakly.
Cas purses his lips, but doesnāt argue. He raises Deanās hand, kisses the back of it softly.Ā
