A/N: *Sigh* The last chapter... so very sad. But I'm sure I'll find something else to work on after this (like my other multi-chapter Supernatural story, "Doubt". Feel free to check it out.)

Castiel joins the Winchesters in the hotel room a short while later, once he thinks that they have talked out any issues they might want to discuss in private.

They are sitting on one of the beds. Dean has undone the bindings Sam put on his arm and is wrapping new ones around the torn skin of his lower left arm.

Dean looks up as Castiel appears in the center of the room. The green-eyed man lifts the corner of his mouth. "Hey, Cass. How's your finger?"

Castiel raises it, studying the band-aid. "Much better. Thank you, Dean."

Sam gives Dean a knowing look.

His face grows pink and he averts his eyes, suddenly becoming interested in his fingers as they worked on the cloth wrapping. When he is done, he cuts the end and rolls up the remaining cloth, returning it to the first-aid kit.

Sam thanks his brother and rolls the sleeve of his shirt over it.

"So, you've gotten to take care of us both today," comments Sam.

Dean chuckles. "Yeah. Somebody has to take care of you two."

Sam and Castiel exchange a look as Dean goes to wash his hands.

They both know that Dean cares a great deal about them both, and that being able to help them in return and show his affections makes him feel better.

They just have to let him care for them.
