Supernatural

“Mmmmmm. Cas.” Dean releases a sleepy little sigh and pats Castiel on the cheek. “Love you.”
Castiel freezes, eyes going wide. He waits for Dean to say he’s just kidding, or to say he loves him like a brother, but the freckled man just keeps grinning at him like a goofy idiot. The nurse is giving them one of those ‘awww so adorable’ looks, probably assuming they’re a couple.
Figuring Dean probably won’t even remember saying it, Castiel tries to pretend it never happened. He goes through the last minute details with the nurse, picks up Dean’s pain meds from the in-hospital pharmacy, and wheels Dean out to the car. Dean doesn’t grumble at him about driving the impala, and he doesn’t complain about the coffee house radio station Castiel puts on the radio, so Castiel knows he really is out of it.
Still… a part of him clings to the hope that Dean meant it. That maybe he had some life-altering moment of revelation during his surgery and realized he loves Castiel.
- or the one where Dean won't stop confessing his love, and things get dangerous as Castiel tries to function as a capable adult despite this
