After being brought back from the Empty, Cas wipes Dean's memory of anything pertaining to him and leaves to attend to other business. Alarmed at how happy he is in the midst of his best friend's death, Claire and Sam figure out that something is wrong- this isn't avoidance. However, even once Cas reluctantly forks over a decade's worth of memories to Dean, things still aren't right, as Cas vanishes without a trace, his returned wings making it impossible to track him unless he wants to be found, which he clearly doesn't.
Alone and grappling with a new kind of grief and betrayal, Dean finds himself taking a great deal of solace in the safehouse that the bunker is turning into. It's everything he wanted, hypothetically, right in front of him, including a kind and stubborn woman with two children that both adore him, but it just doesn't fit anymore with Cas avoiding him after turning his perception of himself completely on its head.
And then Cas finally comes home.

"Okay, look, just because I'm doing—fine—doesn't mean I'm being weird," Dean replies. "I'm happy it's not the end of the world, okay?"
Claire glares at him. "Okay, well, I'm not!" she snaps. "Cas is dead, and you don't care?"
Dean stares at her. "Look, I'm sorry your friend died, but what the hell does that have to do with me?"
Sam's brow furrows, and he opens his mouth, closes it again, then tilts his head, raising a hand to point at him, glancing at Claire. "You're right," he says.
"Yeah, I know I'm right," Claire snaps. "See what I mean?"
Sam sighs, pinching his brow. He turns back to Dean and looks as though he's struggling terribly with what to say. "What angel helped us back when we were trying not to start the apocalypse?"
"Uh, Gabriel?" Dean replies. "With the key to Lucifer's cage, the ring-thingy with Death. Porno. Why?"
"Nothing about Cas?" Sam replies.
There's not another sound in the room, so Dean doesn't know how Sam fumbles his words so badly whatever he's said slips into oblivion, but it's nothing he can recognize, so he doubts it's important.
"What?" Dean says. "No? Why?"
Claire's eyes narrow even further—seriously, how can she even see?—and she starts to speak, but Sam interrupts her.
"What got you out of Hell?" Sam demands.
"I dunno, I—" Dean stumbles. "Didn't you?"

After a quiet afternoon spent discovering that tying knots and untying knots are, in fact, different skill sets, Dean finds himself overwhelmed by a familiar realisation: some things you never get used to, and some things only get better with time.
Or
Dean cries during sex.

Sam's getting married. Which is great. Genuinely, really great. Dean is happy for him.
Dean is also, as a direct consequence of this engagement, standing in a church parking lot for the first time since he was four years old, which is less great.
But it's just his luck that he meets a man with dark hair and blue eyes who owns a '68 Fairlane 500 with a 428 Cobra Jet under the hood that nobody's looked after properly in eighteen months.
It's also just his luck that the man is a Catholic priest.
Dean is thirty years old and should know better. However, he does not, apparently, know better.
Dean offers to fix the car.

Dean looks at the collection of tapes he has laying in the back of his car. This location doesn’t even have a QuikDrop, due to the incidents that happened. He bangs his head on the steering wheel. This is the payment for his stupid “idea” last year.
Dean rented dozens of christmas porn last year, and now he has to pay for it (quite literally). Who knew the guy working there was cute?

Thank you guys for talking to me yesterday. You have no idea how comforting it is to know that there are people here who understand and support me. If you sent me an ask, I'm still going to reply, I just need some time to process. The last couple of days have been completely exhausting and I'm going to take a little bit of time for myself and recharge.
