[ so right after they'd been transported to the new town. lucifer had been human when dean and his other-self had tortured him, had stopped healing and he'd been so close, so damn close to killing the devil that to hear cas had the chance to? the one person he'd trusted to carry on the mission if dean failed but hadn't done so?
dean has no idea what to do with that information, to hear it like this. ]
You saw him. As a human-- in the city. And you didn't kill him?
[ just so he's getting this right. dean stares at cas with that, the words slow and leaving him with an unsatisfied look on his face. never mind that cas knows about the torture, it hadn't been a secret. no, he hadn't mentioned it to cas or involved him, but he doesn't care that he knows-- that's hardly the point here, to begin with.
there are hands at his shoulders as dean snaps. ]
You let him go? You-- [ you could have ended this.
dean shoves him, hard. the wall behind his back is suddenly too close, as is cas, the room they're in small-- tight, too tight. and he doesn't like this, doesn't like how the alcohol had easily burned through his shields, left him feeling calm and soft. it had been the perfect chance for cas to do this, to wound him. and dean feels the words exactly for what they are; a betrayal.
