âQuit it.â
âWhat?â
âLookinâ at me like Iâm gonna disappear. Iâm not gonna disappear.â
Maybe it was a little on the side of harsh, that pause Dean took as he said it, because itâd peeled Casâ hands off Deanâs sides and now they did little more than ghost a touch against his skin.
That sugar-rush blue ping-ponged through Deanâs face. Casâ cheeks were already red, but they somehow managed to dip a shade darker in the blossoming morning light. âIâsorry,â he stumbled, collar bones popping as he huffed an uneasy breath. His eyes fell away, nested somewhere around Deanâs throat instead.
Nice, Dean thought. Real good, genius.
Theyâd only gone horizontal, what? Fiveâsix times now? Seven, he corrected, if he counted that time in the walk-in closet at the Brownsville retirement home. Not much to say about that case, except maybe that⊠But, wet spots or not, no one had lost any clothes, and if that shit didnât count in high school, he wasnât gonna start tallying them in his 40s.
âCourse, Cas might have a different take on that, but Dean wasnât gonna ask.
He shook his head instead, bowed and kissed an apology into Casâ neck. âShut up. Donât be sorry,â he said, rolling his hips again. âI just mean, I canât get much more naked. So quit tryna strip me more, huh?â
His slow, deliberate rhythm culled the raw silence back into heavy breath. Casâ hands came back to his skin, warm. A little more timid. They slid down Deanâs waist, rested at the turn of his hips. He dug fingers in as their dicks rode against each other.
Dean hummed, leaned into it, watched Casâ mouth bow open. Closed. Open again. Then, suddenly Casâ eyes came up again. The damn things hit Dean just as hard as before, sliding a stripped nerve shock through the bottom of his gut like someone had just pulled the ground cable from an outlet. âStop,â Dean cracked, the smile slipping out and going wide. âYouâre doinâ it again.â
âIâm notââ
âYou are, you bastard.â Dean palmed Casâ chin, pulled his head to the side and bit a kiss into his neck, settled into the dark shadows the pillow and comforter bred at the corner.
Cas chuckled. It was golden warm against the hum of the AC. âItâs justâitâs different with you,â he continued, voice rough. âYouâre so different.â
Dean swallowed, tried to ignore the thready feeling that was trying to knit different under the dictionary definition of bad.

Dean huffed, dragged the tip of his nose through Casâ stubble, nipped his earlobe, ground against himâDifferent âcuz you let Michael drive the station wagon, and now youâre bad. Spoiled. Or, different âcuz none of this is as good as he hoped, and you think youâve got it all now, but you donâtâ
Dean unburied. Peeled off Casâ chest, hips stilling and heart suddenly in his ears. âDifferent?â he asked.
It was only fair.Dean owed him to ask.
Cas was never any damn good at being clear, and Dean was even worse at waiting around for it. But heâd told himself he was gonna take more breathsâmorethoughtful-fucking-pausesâbecause six months with the Puppet Master had given him plenty of opportunities to reflect, and it hadnât taken him a hundred and eighty-four daysto realize most of his problems started with being a little too trigger-happyâemotionally and physically. âDifferent like, we need to have a conversation about boys vee girls?â
âWhaâno,â Cas scoffed. Then, âThere are more than two gendersââ
âDifferent, like not enough whips and collars? Help me out here.â
Cas caught a laugh in the back of his throat. âDifferent good,â he said, fingers spreading at Deanâs shoulders, and if Dean didnât know any better, heâd think Cas was trying to calm him down. âI only mean to say⊠everything with you is⊠better.â Then, he added, âGood better,â as if that was something Dean was gonna confuse.
Still, it melted through Deanâs chest like wax and lit his face hot. He suddenly knew why that fixed, blue gaze suddenly seemed so sharp when they were sideways; when they were kicking up dust at the cheapest truck stop motel, or when they were packed in a locked storage closet, making the most out of that keyholed light.
It was because it was just for Dean.
Unfiltered.
Dean perched elbows on Casâ shoulders, watched Cas sink further into the old motel mattress. âThatâs cuz this matters,â he said. âItâs always better when it matters. You anâ me.â
Casâ eyes ate through Deanâs face, to his mouth and back up again, slow. Maybe Dean shouldnât have said anything it at all because all it did was turn that already mush-soft expression even softer. Now he was sure he would drown in the liquid blue.
He scoffed, planted a hand over Casâ face, pushed him playfully away. âStop it. Thereâs about to be a hundred percent more blindfolds involved.â
âIâm not saying no to that,â Cas mumbled from behind Deanâs palm.
