'Till It Shines

Chapter Text

 

Interlude: Summer 2013

 

In June and July Dean closes down Winchester Auto, he works three cases. He plays pool, he sleeps with women who pick him up in bars. He meets a hunter named Tomoa and they spend a memorable weekend hunting ghosts and having sex.
He spends very little time at home. Every Thursday he goes to the local drive-in and watches their creature feature. He eats popcorn and pizza from the carton. He misses Cas.

 

Cas travels to California, to New York, to Chicago. He sits and talks with Santi in a hotel bar in Washington DC. It’s a relief to see him, to realize that their shared life was real. They hug goodbye.
In Berkley, he talks to Hannah, who’s heading a judicial reform project, and she offers him a job starting in one year’s time.
He returns to Lawrence at the end of July, two weeks earlier than planned, because he misses Dean.
