Five years. It had been five years since he'd stood in that dungeon and told Dean that he loved him. He'd thought it would be the last time he'd ever see him. He didn't regret the decision he'd made that day, as painful as it was. He would never regret saving Dean, no matter the cost.
He hadn't expected Dean to save him in return. His righteous man fighting through the Empty to raise him from perdition. There had been anger, of course, several arguments, but he was alive again, Chuck was defeated and his loved ones were safe. For once, he could be truly happy.
