dean makes his swift retreat, water-logged boots making a soppy smack against the tile, and cas knows he didn't pause to so much as wring out his shirt before making a break for it. that's all much more expected than any of the rest of this has been.
and man, has it been something.
for a couple minutes, cas stands rooted in the same spot, breathing deeply as he replays that interaction in his head. closes his eyes at some point, the ache of lost opportunity and longing growing a little sharper in his chest.
where he'd been warmed by dean's proximity before, body heat and steam trapped between them, soaking into his bare skin, there's a chill now, pulling a light shiver through him.
this... this is not sustainable. something's going to break between them, and cas prays it won't completely ruin them.
it'll be another 20 minutes, at least, before he switches off the water and finds that towel. ]
