There is no one there, but the two of them. Nothing to be heard, but their ragged breaths. They look at each other from opposite sides of the aisle, the wooden benches on the sides, once polished and bright, are now covered by a thick layer of dust, Castiel doesn't mind, as he leans against the closest one for a moment.

Once he can breathe again and he has put away the lighter he has used to burn the hymn book the spirit was attached to, Castiel rushes to join Dean at the abandoned church's altar, helping him to get up from the dirty floorboards and holding both his hands tightly when they are both standing.

His eyes search Dean's face, relief flooding him when he can't see any wounds on the other man, "I'm just great at creating distractions, huh?"

Castiel smiles at him, "the best, indeed." He enjoys for a little while the way the first rays of sunshine that are getting into the building through what is left of a stained glass window display colorful waves all over Dean's face.

Dean takes their joined hands and presses them to his chest, "I love you." Then he, to Cas' great confusion, chuckles lightly, shaking his head. Noticing his confusion Dean explains, "I was just thinking we are just missing the priest for this wedding." Castiel looks around and, yes, standing here right at the altar like they are right now it looks like they could be getting married.

They can't really get married legally, it isn't something they have even talked about before, the concept is not enough to really encapsulate all they are to each other, all they have lived together, "this feels more like us," Dean says with a shrug of his shoulders, "just the two of us, a hunt and a haunted church."

"it's not haunted anymore." Castiel replies, Dean laughs, "I don't have any vows ready, I know that's usual in human weddings, but I can promise you here, where so many others have promised to love each other until death did they apart, that I will love you like I love you now and like I've loved you for years with our light and darkness," the light of the love they share, the darkness of the nightmares they both carry with them, "even after my last breath, when we meet again when all it's over." He frees one of his hands to touch the side of Dean's face, tenderly, watching Dean as he tilts his head to lean into his touch.

"In sickness, in health, wherever we are Cas, be it this universe or a parallel one, on the road or in our home, saving the world, we go together. Forever." He wraps an arm around Cas' waist, pulling him closer, "we are going to skip the 'I do' s and go for the good stuff now." He leans in, pressing a kiss to Castiel's lips, deepening it when Cas kisses back.

They leave the church hand in hand, both of them exhausted, with matching smiles on their faces and their shared promises tightening their bond.
