Summary
Slowly, Mystery Man raises his head. And when his eyes meet Dean’s again, they are so full that Dean is nearly leveled by it. Just. There’s love there, affection, fondness, all in that haunted cornflower blue. They’re greedy, too, like they’re consuming every detail. Dean forgets to breathe. “You sure this guy ain’t dead?” he manages. “Cause you’re looking at me like the last time you saw his mug was ten years ago.”
Mystery Man inhales sharply but doesn’t so much as blink. “He’s very much alive. He made pancakes this morning.” No further elaboration.
“Right…” Dean says a little awkwardly. “Well, since this is happening, apparently, what’s your name?”
Now, Mystery Man hesitates, frowns. Finally, he says, “My name is Cas.”
or the one where dean is at a bar in 2005 and he gets a visit from a stranger who feels familiar but he cant figure out why

Summary
“This isn’t how I was expecting my evening to go, huh?”
“No, I’m sure it wasn’t,” Cas replies.
Dean’s eyes drink him in. Dean doesn’t bother to hide it. “What are you doing here? Haven't seen you ‘round in a while.” The last of his words have a sarcastic blade to them in a way that they never would have before Hell, and he’s still getting used to the metallic tang in his mouth.
Cas’s eyes narrow. “I suppose I had a… hunch that you may be in need of company.”
or the one where s10 cas time travels back to give comfort to dean right after he was gripped tight and raised from perdition

Summary
“Hello, Dean.”
There he is. And Dean is so torn. His bottom lip wants to wobble around fat tears at the same time he wants to be defensive. Warring between the urges to either run to the other side of the bench to kneel at Cas’s feet- get a good look at that face- or to grab him by the scruff of his neck and demand to know what he thought he was doing by pulling a stunt like this. In his confusion, all that Dean does is stare at the cowlick of Cas’s dark hair.
I’m right here, the memories in him call out. Castiel, I finally caught up to you.
Dean flattens the noise of them under the heel of his boot.
or the one where it's finally the day that dean made the pancakes for the both of them, and the memories from cas's visits finally catch up to the present
