[ If there's anyone who knows Dean— scars, smiles — it's Castiel. Even in the face of potential rejection, he loves him. Cas has made peace with that years ago. But hearing that his proposal, however hypothetical, is accepted somehow makes him love Dean even more, in ways Castiel hadn't realized was possible. ]
Are you?
[ He warms, overwhelmed, and his expression softens. His hand unoccupied hand raises and he touches Dean's cheek gently, as if he's an illusion to be shattered. How could any one person be so wonderful? How could any one multidimensional wavelength of celestial intent be so lucky to be perceived, and acknowledged, and loved by a person like that? "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." His thumb smooths over Dean's lips, and Castiel leans in towards him, like gravity. His eyes drop to those full lips and his voice goes quiet with want that is much, much deeper than carnal. ]
Because if you're willing to offer me something so profound as a lifetime promised to one another... I'll take it, ravenously.
