The Great Escapist by 8sword
Summary: Dean spears him on a green-eyed look through the open passenger door. "Why do I get the feeling you just want us to spend the night together?"
"Because you're paranoid and ridiculous," Cas says. "I sleep five feet away from you every night; I could watch you sleep at home."
(An AU in which nursing student Dean and pre-med student Cas become summer roommates and maybe more.)
Comments: 10/10. Omg this fic is phenomenal. It's sad but I wouldn't call it angst, it's grief and the effect grief has on other relationships. Cas is dealing with the grief of losing his brother throughout the fic, he escapes to Laurence and meets Dean. I can't say enough good things about this, I was crying on the bus when I got to near the end. Don't worry though, it's a happy and hopeful ending.
