Chapter Text
It was Dean's opinion that having the boy he thought of as his son as God was too fucking weird, even for someone who had a very unusual life like him. Especially since Jack still looked like just... Jack. And he appeared at the end of his first week as God to have breakfast with him and Sam at the Bunker.
Dean was giving the rest of his bread and butter to Miracle, his dog, under the kitchen table without paying as much attention as Jack and Sam were discussing excitedly what the last week had been like for the boy. That is until he heard a familiar name in the middle of the conversation:
"... it has been complicated but Cas has been helping me a lot and when I have doubts on how to proceed I talk to him and he gives me advice" Jack said.
"What ?" Dean said.
"What ?" Jack said.
"When you say you talk to him, what does that mean, like you have doubts and you mentally think about him and what would he say?"
"No. I talk to him using my mouth and he answers using his mouth. Technically we can talk via telepathy but in general we prefer oral communication”
"Are you saying that he is alive?"
"Yes, I brought him back" Jack said as if it was no big deal.
“Oh. Okay” Dean said, still trying to process the news.
"More than okay, this is great!" Sam said.
“Yes, he looked quite surprised. He really thought he was going to stay in The Empty forever”
"When ?" Dean said.
"What ?"
"When did you bring him back?"
"Seven days ago, it was one of the first things I did" Jack said and looked at him like it was a stupid question.
"He didn't show up here"
“He's helping me to rebuild heaven, it's a lot of work, I'm sure he'll be here soon”
Dean's first instinct was to immediately pray at the kitchen table for Castiel to appear. But he hesitated, due to their last conversation and everything Castiel had said he decided it would be better if they were alone for that conversation.
He waited until Jack left and Sam went to do whatever he was going to do that day and went to his room.
He took a deep breath and started to pray.
“Hi Cas. I hope you can hear me, Jack told me that he brought you back. I guess that having a mega powerful child has its advantages. So come here please, we need to talk ”
He expected to hear the typical "Hello Dean" behind him immediately.
But that did not happen.
"Come on Cas, show up don't be an asshole"
Nothing.
“Alright, I guess you must be busy, I waited a week, I can wait a little longer. See you later?"
Castiel did not appear that day.
Or the next day.
And not even on the day that came after that.
