Warning: Spoilers for S7E17!

-----------------------------------

Dean grew increasingly anxious as he traversed the long hallway leading to the healer's apartment.  He didn't know much about the man, just that he'd shown up on the supernatural scene a few months earlier and could heal just about anything.  Dean desperately wanted to save his brother from insanity, which was why he was here: he didn't trust magic healers.  Generally speaking, they tended to be demons or witches or people who'd somehow managed to enslave reapers.  If they weren't, they were crazy and/or ineffective, so Dean's anxiety was completely justified.  He knocked on the door that matched the address on the note in his pocket, fully aware of the fact that he had about a fifty-fifty chance of being attacked by some beast just inside.

The man that opened the door was no beast.  Nor was he a demon or a witch.  Dean froze in shock as he took in the familiar face of the angel he once thought to be dead.  The look of surprise on Castiel's face must have matched his own as they stared at each other in the doorway.  Dean snapped out of it first, enveloping Castiel in the kind of bear hug he usually reserved for Sammy right after one of them came back from the dead.  He savored the nearly-forgotten scents of his divine friend, of summer air, waterfalls, and green trees.  Finally, he pulled back and gazed at Castiel.  "I thought you were dead."

Cas gazed at Dean in wonder for a long moment before slowly asking, "Do I know you?"

Dean blinked.  "What?  Cas, it's me!  Dean Winchester?  The chosen one?  You went missing months ago; I thought you died!  I still have your coat in my car."  Then, he noticed Castiel's outfit.  Even without his trenchcoat, Dean would have expected him to be wearing his suit and tie, but no: Castiel was dressed like Dean.  Charcoal tee-shirt, classic Levi's jeans, a long-sleeved unbuttoned work shirt and black leather work boots.  It was curious that Cas would dress like him if he didn't remember him.

Cas cocked his head, an unconscious characteristic he couldn't forget.  "I'm afraid I don't remember anything before a few months ago, but I've seen you in my dreams for as long as I can remember.  I always wondered who you were, if you were real."

"Well, they're probably memories, Cas!  We've known each other for years!"

"Were we lovers?"

"What?!"

"In my dreams, we're lovers."  Apparently, he couldn't forget his bluntness, either.

"Uh... no.  We're not lovers.  I'm not gay."

Another head cock.  "Are you sure?"

"Wh- yes, I'm sure!"  He smiled and patted Castiel on the shoulder.  "It's good to see you're still socially awkward, Cas.  Now, about Sam...."
A/N: Spoilers for S7E17 The Born-Again Identity.

Summary: Dean goes looking for someone to heal Sam's mind, and he finds Castiel, who's been living as a healer since he vanished, and has no recollection of life before he woke up afterward. This is a one-shot of their meeting. Slashy, pre-slash, or one-sided slash, but not true slash. It's mostly canon.

It would be awesome if they went there. However, I'm sure they won't. Please, R&R!

oh my, nooo!!!:iconnuuuplz: Dean you liar, of course you were lovers, go and hug Cas one more time, preferably naked:iconkissingplz:
Great fic, i just dont like the one sided slash. I never like one sided slash unless it suddenly turns two sided. Then it's okay. But really otherwise, great :iconiloveyoutooplz:
