Okay there is no way I can apologise for leaving this story for long; I'm soooooo sorry. I hope you're gonna read the update. It's the concluding chapter. The story is finished.


Dean opened his eyes slowly, apart from the pained he has grown accustomed to, his eyes felt heavy and groggy, side effect from taking sleeping pills to force his way rather then being thrown from reality to reality Dean thought. He was unsure just how long he was gone, but he was certain it was longer than usual. He was still in hospital but his wound seemed almost healed, well healed enough that he would be able to hunt with it, not that he needed to or planned to again, he was in a new world, the right world. After he settled in his surroundings a little more he looked around the room for Jimmy. He wasn't there and Dean's heart sank a little remembering Cas and how he always seemed to be by his side, his lips still tingling with that kiss, but he wasn't going to dwell on the past. No one was around in fact. Dean thought it strange but not out the ordinary so he rang the buzzer and soon enough a nurse came in.

"Oh, you're awake. I'll inform the doctor immediately." Before Dean had chance to thank the nurse she left the room and hurried down the corridor.

Dean couldn't enjoy the silence the lingering grips of his made up reality was buzzing in his ears. He could hear Cas, his angel screaming for him to come back, tears welled in his eyes but he pushed them back, concentrating on what was real.

It didn't take long for the doctor to arrive, checked his vitals, whilst gave him a once over Dean asked were jimmy was, the doctor didn't seem to know. Soon enough the doctor left leaving the man alone with the echoes of a once loved reality in his ear. Sammy and bobby had joined Cas now, all trying to get him back. A dull ache started to form in his chest, he though at first it was the pain of saying goodbye, but soon remembered the pain and figured someone on the other side was giving him CPR to get him back. It wouldn't work he thought, this is his world, this is right.

"Dean." A familiar voice said from the door way as he entered looking relived.

"Jimmy, oh god it's good to see you." He whispered into his neck as they embraced.

"You too, never leave me again." He spoke softly as he peppered the patients face with soft butterfly kisses.

"Deal." Dean spoke through a gently smile as he bathed in the delicate attention jimmy was showering him with, it felt so damn good. He ran a hand through his soft tousled hair as their lips finally met in a chaste loving kiss before jimmy settled in the chair.

After around twenty minutes of comfortable silence jimmy stood deciding they should get out of the stuffy depressing room.

"Come on, let's go for a walk to my office, stretch those adorable bow legs of yours."

"Watch it." He threatened as jimmy helped him out of bed, though there was no heat behind his words, he loving the gentle teasing of jimmy, it was so human. So unlike Cas, that thought pulled his stomach as the voices came back, from where he stashed them.

They walked in silence as Dean listened to the frantic voices of the people he thought were family, try to come up with a battle strategy, as he was unconscious and placed in the study. He was still present in that world. This thought filled Dean's mind for the rest of the walk to Jimmy's office.

They entered the office, dean took the chair he was offered and it felt very professional, too professional. Thankfully jimmy seemed to have sensed this because he bent down to quickly capture his lips before settling at his desk.

"How are you feeling?"

"The pain meds are wonderful." He joked, knowing that without them, he would be in so much more pain. Before jimmy could respond he heard bobby shout in the back of his head that they were almost there. Dean's cold ran cold momentarily before the man in front of him responded pulled Dean away from the imagined voices.

"I didn't mean that, I meant with your psychosis, you seem more settled in this reality. It's good."

"It is." He replied, just as the voices started up again, the demon were close, he knows Cas is distracted, feeling rejected and close to tears he doesn't know how he knew but he knew.

"Dean?" Jimmy asked concern painted all over his face.

"Huh?"

"You okay there? You kind of blanked out a little there."

"Oh sorry." He said with a half smile attempting to joke and brush it off.

"What is it?" he looked to the made with the angel face and sighed, he didn't want to lie.

"I can, I can still hear them. Their scarred, sad." Jimmy didn't seemed faced but his confession, merely nodded along.

"It will fade." He tried to reassure the man he loves.

"Their still coming." Dean muttered out loud as he listened to his 'family' as they readied themselves for what could be their last fight.

"Who?"

"Nothing." He said and tried to believe it, but couldn't quite stop the feeling of wrongness.

"You have to remember it's not real." Dean nodded in response with slightly less conviction then he felt when he first opened his eyes. "Here."

"What's this?" he asked eyeing a small whit bottle Jimmy held in his outstretched hand.

"Your new medication. It should keep the hallucinations away. Take it every day, keep up with your therapy and you'll be normal before you know it."

"But,"

"But what Dean?" he asked, visibly getting more and more tense.

"Their in danger." He whispered, feeling horrible.

"Dean their not real." He sternly said trying to get him to listen to him, and not the people in his head.

"I don't know, I haven't heard them like this before. They need help. There're going to be killed."

"Dean, take the pills. I want; I need you to be better. It breaks my heart to see you so lost." He tried the soft approach but it was obvious Dean had heard nothing, gazing to the closest wall, eyes hard and focused as he listened to what Jimmy couldn't hear. "Dean!"

"Their in pain." Dean jumped a little as he looked back to jimmy, eyes full of tears.

"Their not real!" he shouted back, annoyed that he thought he was making some progress.

"I can feel their pain!" he shouted back.

"Because their apart of you. You're making them up!"

"I can't stand by and hear them die. Because of me." Dean was visibly getting distressed, so Jimmy came so kneel next to him, hand on his shoulder and gently tried to get him to see reason.

"Then don't, take. The pills." He looked into those heart achingly identical blue eyes, lent forward and kissed his forehead.

"I came back for you Jimmy. You're happy here; I would do anything to make you happy." Dean stood, needing some distance; Sam was shouting in his head, he could feel Cas' fear. "I need to keep you safe. And you are. Their not, he's not."

"Whatever you're thinking about doing, don't." Jimmy's heart was now racing, hands shaking as he approached Dean, terrified he will loose him again.

"This way, whether he's real or if you are, you will both be safe." He tried not to look Jimmy in the eye, but the man came right in front of him holding his cheeks tears down his cheeks, feeling a mix of despair and anger.

"If you retreat into your mind it will kill you Dean!"

"It might not. I thought I knew but I don't, this place feels just as real as the other one. It doesn't matter what happens to me, they need me. Cas needs me."

"I need you." He spoke through gritted teeth, this cant be happening.

"You'll get over me. Would you wait for me, through time, however long it takes like him? He needs me more than you. I'm all he has."

"That's not true Dean, take the fucking pills!" he shouted thrusting the bottle at Dean who put his hands up in mock surrender refusing to take them.

"I can't tell the difference anymore, this way you're both alive."

"No!" he screamed throwing the pills at Dean falling to his knees and sobbed.

"They say, to wake up from a dream, you should kill your self." Dean said after a minute or so, jimmy instantly looked up, he was holding a letter opener.

"Don't. Please." He begged slowly getting to his feet. "I swear Dean if you don't stop, and take these pills. I'll sedate you tie you down and force them down you're throat!"

"I'm sorry. I love you." Was the last thing he said before driving the slightly blunt knife painfully into his chest.

"Dean!" Jimmy shouted diving to the floor to cradle his limp body as he bled out despite Jimmy's efforts as he screamed for help.

Dean sat up with gasping for air, tears freshly fallen, body in complete agony. He clutched his chest as he tried to even out his breathing and ignore the pain. He was alone in the study, though he could hear the sound of fighting beyond the closed doors. They were probably doing all he could to keep the demons away from his unconscious body. He felt so incredibly guilty, he didn't have time to wallow however he had to do something. The parchment on bobby's desk caught his eye, he strolled over doused it with salt, folding it to keep as much as it on it as possible before grabbing a knife and a lighter.

He pushed the doors open, startling hunters, angel's and demons alike, Cas almost looked like he was going to pass out from shock, Sam and bobby didn't look too much better either. The demons that were still standing stood stock still, looking like they were about to advance of the obviously weakened hunter. Without thinking Dean dropped the knife and lit the parchment aflame. Causing a bright light to appear, brighter than a mere flame would produce. It forced Dean to close his eyes, when they were opened, demons were non existent in the room, he assumed it was to do with really powerful magic stopping or something. He was going to ask when he suddenly got attacked by Cas who flung himself into Dean's arms. Both were in tears, Cas pulled away and looked Dean in the eye, lost for words fore a moment.

"You came back." Normally Dean would say something above the obviousness of his statement, but he could see in Cas' eyes that he seemed to be convincing himself it was real that Dean was actually standing there.

"I had too."

"Why?" he asked, reaching out and placing his palm over the hunters heart, feeling it beat.

"I could hear you guys fighting, could feel your pain and fear. I had to do something." He answered truthfully sliding his hand over Cas'

"I thought you didn't believe in us." He said more sternly, obviously hurt from recent events, Dean couldn't blame him.

"I realised it didn't matter. If it meant keeping you safe, I would risk it. I'm glad I did." The angel caressed Dean's cheek with his other hand, stroking his softly with his thumb, still in shock he was really there.

"I love you." The angel said, Dean couldn't suppress the smile that formed on his face and before either of them knew it their lips were pressed together, both feeling the relief, happiness and love in that kiss. Neither was willing to stop, but they were aware of the other two in the room and Dean felt a great urge to hug and apologise to both of them.

They pulled apart but just barley, Dean speaking into Cas' mouth before pulling away completely.

"I love you too."

Six months later

Dean woke in the spare room at Bobby's that has both been appointed and christened as Dean and Cas'. The hunter woke nestled in warmth and protected by his angels arms wrapped around him. His favourite part of the day was the few minutes he had after awaking, dreams still lingering to his consciousness, and Cas' breath even against the back of his neck. Peace, complete and utter peace. He knew that when they woke they had work to do. They had to risk their lives and each other for the sake of the world, so each and every morning whether it was in their bed or a random motel he thanked god for another morning, that Cas was still there and he was still there. He basked in the glow of the angels love filtering through his grace a few minutes at the start of each day and it made everything worth it.

Jimmy woke to the usual sound of repetitive beeping of the machines surrounding him. He blinked the sleep from his eyes and scratched his unshaved chin before placing his hand back over Dean's and making his love a promise.

"I will wait for you Dean, however long it takes. You will wake up. And I will be here when you do, I promise."
