[ dean smiles, laughs bright and honest, and it lights up something in castiel's chest, impossibly endeared to still beautiful, still dean winchester, lost to it with no real care for finding his way again. he's entirely content to simply watch him, soak up the lightness and ease. it's happiness that blooms through him, cas reflecting dean's joy back with a grin that's more about how pleased he is to see dean wear this easy cheer than whatever the man found funny in what cas said (ok, 2 billion is excessive, fine, he'll accept 2 million instead).
feeling fondness unfurl into their bond, the rush of staggering, powerful emotion only dean's really capable of, immense and incredible, there's something dangerously close to love bubbling up in cas. like a surrender, cas lets the force of dean's emotion overwhelm him, pull him under. like joining up with an electric current, he basks in it, allows himself to indulge in the wealth of rich feeling inside this human. for a long, still moment, cas is in a happy daze, enjoying his present and all that's directly in front of him.
the love that's there is a nebulous feeling, isn't so tied to anything sensual or physical that it couldn't be interpreted as familial, but it takes root at the center of his being and branches out, leaving cas feeling lit up and alive.
castiel wants to tell him his smile is brilliantly beautiful. he doesn't. just whispers it quietly in the back of his mind. instead, soft eyes follow him, attention fond and undivided. ] I haven't seen you or Sam celebrate your birthdays even once. Why?
