Dean jumped as a dark figure entered his room. He tensed as the silhouette got closer to his bed.

"Dean? Are you awake?" He heard Cas ask.

Dean breathed a sigh of relief that it was only Cas.

"Yeah"

"I... Can... I have been experiencing strange hallucinations while sleeping, Dean" Cas began.

"You mean dreaming?" Dean corrected him.

"They weren't pleasant" Cas said and Dean watched as the outside light glinted off Cas' tear stained face.

"I.. uh.. Can I.. uh.." Cas stuttered nervously.

"Do you want to sleep in my bed?" Dean asked.

Cas nodded shyly and turned his head away in fear of rejection. Dean took his hand and dragged him onto his bed.

Cas curled up in a fetal position and Dean comforted him by wrapping an arm around his waist and pulling him closer.

The pair were spooning and Cas' nightmares were forgotten.

"Don't worry, baby. I'm here, I'll protect you" Dean whispered to Cas. "I love you"

"Love you too" Cas replied sleepily.
