âDean, I think my vessel is malfunctioning,â Castiel says into the phone.âWhat? Whatâs going on?â Dean asks, agitated. He knew it was a bad idea letting Cas go on a single hunt in his state. His grace has been drained and heâs not really human yet, but he doesnât have all his angelic mojo either. Dean shouldnât have let him go, he should have insisted on him staying in the bunker.âMy penis is erect.âDean blinks into his coffee mug. He thought he was awake but he must be still dreaming because thereâs no way in hell Castiel has just said what Dean heard.âI know it is its natural function, but I am not sexually aroused. I just woke up and it was erect. I donât think itâs supposed to do that without sexual stimulation.âDean huffs out a laugh. Heâs still mortified, but at the same time, heâs relieved. At least Cas isnât actually hurt.âItâs just a morning wood, Cas. It happens.ââHas it happen to you?â Cas asks with doubt in his voice and Dean doesnât need to see him to know heâs squinting.âYeah, Cas. Many times. Itâs nothing to worry about.ââBut what do I do about it?âDean pinches the bridge of his nose. When did his life become this particular shade of absurd?âIt will pass. You can take a cold shower to make it quicker.ââThat doesnât sound pleasant,â Cas answers. Heâs been such a princess ever since he started to have more human sensations. He hates cold and his nose is really sensitive so he sniffs everything and he will groan and moan when he has to sleep on a hard mattress or under scratchy blankets. Just the thought of Casâ grumpy face makes Dean smile.âWell, you can also-â Dean stops himself. He canât say that. No, heâs not going to say that to his angelic best friend.âI can what, Dean? Is there a more pleasant way to get rid of it?âDean feels the heat rising into his cheeks. Heâs desperately trying not to imagine Cas with a boner.âYou can⊠touch it? Make yourself, uh, release?ââYou mean masturbate?â
Dean lets his forehead hit the table.âYeah, Cas, I mean masturbation. Get yourself off. Youâll get rid of your morning wood and have some new pleasant experience as a bonus.ââHm.ââAlright, Iâm gonna leave you to that,â Dean says ready to hang up, but Cas stops him.âWait, Dean, how do I do that?ââWhat?ââIâve never done that before, Dean,â he sounds exasperated. âI know people do it, but I usually try not to watch them.âDean sighs remembering the one time Cas entered his room without knocking and caught Dean with his hand on his cock.âAlright, alright. Just wrap your hand around it? Not too loose, you need to find how tight you like it. Then move your hand up and down.â He canât believe this is really happening.Thereâs a little disgruntled sound on the other end of the line. âDean, it isnât pleasant.ââWhat? You are doing it now?ââYou told me to-ââYes, but, you canât-ââOh, I see. It is not customary to talk about those things with other people.ââNot really, not with your friends.ââWho then?ââYour⊠um⊠usually, you only do this with your⊠lover?ââOh, I see.â Thereâs a moment of silence. Dean should take advantage of it and find a way out of this awkward situation, but he seems frozen with his hand gripping the phone tightly and pressing it to his ear.âI guess this isnât a usual situation,â Cas says very softly.Dean closes his eyes. âNo, it isnât.ââSo, will you help me, Dean?âDean swallows thickly. Donât imagine him, donât imagine him.âWhatâs wrong?ââIt just⊠thereâs too much friction, I donât like it.âDean gives up. Heâs going to go with the flow and recover from the consequences later.âSpit into your palm. Get your cock wet. It will feel better.âHe actually hears Cas spitting. His own cock gives an interested twitch.âHm⊠Dean, thatâs better. Oh.âDean clenches his teeth. Itâs impossible to not imagine Cas jerking off and Deanâs getting hard himself. This is the last chance to end this or heâll be in too deep.âOkay, Cas, I think youâre good now. Enjoy the ride. Iâll call you later today.ââWait, DeanDean swallows back a moan at the needy undertone in Casâ husky voice.âWhat now?â he whispers.âI think your voice is helping.âDeanâs heart skips a beat. âCas-â he breathes out.âYes, Dean. Oh, this is good.âAnd thatâs it. Dean is fully erect in his pants and his lower brain is getting in charge.âDonât rush it, Cas. Make it last. It will be better in the end.ââAlright, alright, Dean.â His breathing is labored, his voice even huskier than usual. Dean palms himself through his jeans.âUse your other hand to play with your balls,â Dean suggests mentally convincing himself heâs only doing this to help his friend enjoy his first masturbatory experience.He gets a long pleased hum as a response and canât hold back anymore. He opens his zipper and whips his cock out.âDo you like it?â he asks because he needs to hear Castielâs breathy voice again.âYeah,â Cas downright moans. Dean throws his head back, jerking his cock frantically. âI see why people spend so much time doing this.â Dean chuckles. He takes his own advice and spits into his palm.âWhat was that?âDean freezes with his wet hand on his cock. âI, ugh, it was-ââDean, are you masturbating too?â Thereâs no shaming in his tone, just a surprise, and something Dean deciphers as fascination. He bites his lip and nods. Then he realizes Cas canât see that.âYeah.â It must be barely audible. The moan on the other end is loud, though.âDean, did you get erect while talking to me about masturbating?â The way he says it makes Dean believe he actually enjoys the idea pretty much.âYeah. It happens.â He admits and starts stroking himself slowly.âDid you⊠oh, did you imagine me doing it? Is that what got you hard?âDean doesnât reply. He canât. The words are stuck in his throat. He can barely breathe. And heâs so hard itâs almost painful.âBecause I do that, I⊠I imagine you and it⊠oh, Dean, it makes me harder I⊠Dean, my cock is leaking.â The last part is said with a bit of concern.âItâs okay, babe,â Dean hears himself saying like his own voice is coming from far away. âKeep going, Cas, keep going.ââDean!â Cas moans and Dean has to bite his lip to the point of pain to avoid coming too soon. âDean, say something. Say you are enjoying this too.ââYeah, Cas, I like this. I like you coming from hearing my voice.ââYes, Iâm⊠Dean, Iâm gonnaâŠââLet go, babe, come for me.âThe sounds Cas makes and the mental image that paints of him spilling over his fingers, tip Dean over the edge.He shakes with the strength of the orgasm, gasping for breath, riding the waves of pleasure. Heâs vaguely aware of the sounds he makes, but he has no capacity to care.Then thereâs silence on both ends except for their heavy breaths rattling through the speakers.âDean?ââIâm here,â he says dumbly.âIt was wonderful, Dean, thank you.ââYeah, uhm, Cas⊠I think we-â he trails off. He doesnât have the strength to say it even though he knows he should. He should tell Cas they should forget about this, never talk about it, never let anything like that happen again.âI wish we could do that again,â Cas says very softly. Deanâs heart is aching. âI wish I could actually see you. I wish I could touch you like that, be touched by you like that.ââCas,â Dean sighs squeezing his eyes shut.âI know it would require us becoming lovers and you make it clear you donât want that-âThe words are like a cold shower waking Dean up from the mushy dream he was floating in. âWhat? How did I make myself clear about that?ââYou said it on many occasions that you are only sexually interested in women.ââI⊠umâŠââAnd besides that, you made it clear you are not looking for a relationship.ââLook, Cas, I donât know what exactly I have said, but⊠sometimes I say things, because-â he has to take a deep breath to gather courage. His voice is still unsteady when he continues. âSometimes I say things that arenât really true because I want to hide the truth because⊠because it-ââBecause it makes you vulnerable?ââYeah, Cas, thatâs it.ââDean, I wish you could let yourself be vulnerable around me. I wish you trusted me. I would never hurt you.ââI do,â Dean whispers after a pause.Castiel doesnât say anything, Dean suspects heâs giving him space. He takes it gladly because he needs a moment to get himself together.His heart is still beating frantically and he feels lightheaded when he finally breaks the silence.âI want that too, Cas. I want to touch you. Hell, Iâve been dreaming about touching you for so long, I imagined how youâd sound when you-â he cuts himself off and hears a silent laugh on the other end. âI also want to be close to you. Emotionally. I mean⊠I think we are already, we justâŠââWe just didnât let it exceed friendship.âDean smiles at how perfectly Cas finishes his sentences. âYeah. But I think by having phone sex we already took the step.âThey both laugh at that. Itâs small and soft and intimate.âSo you want to⊠take me as your lover?ââDamn, Cas, why do you have to make it sound so weird?ââIâm sorry, Dean, why-ââBut yeah, Cas, I want to be your boyfriend, partner, lover, whatever. I wanna be with you that way.âHe can practically hear the smile in Castielâs voice and it makes his heart melt.âIâm really looking forward to being done with this case so I can come home to you.ââYeah, me too, Cas,â Dean grins.
