    Summary

    Dean Winchester is accustomed to the unexpected. Where he lives, the way he lives, he has to be.
    He is not, however, expecting to stumble across a body in an alley. He's not expecting the body to be alive, he's certainly not expecting himself to carry the guy home. He's not expecting to find a friend, he's not expecting to see his own past and mistakes reflected in this guy's eyes.
    He doesn't need this, he doesn't need the burden of taking care of another person. He doesn't need the pain of failing. And he doesn't need all the trouble that Castiel brings into his life.
    So why can't he bring himself to care?
