Cas relaxed when Nick didn't try to throw him off or anything, soon dozing back off in Nick's arms.

Nick smiled lazily when he noticed Cas was asleep again. He wished that this could happen more often. He wondered, not for the first time, what it would be like to be dating Cas, but he shook it off. He’s probably just cold, he told himself. This doesn’t mean he actually likes me as more than a friend.
(Cas: literally gets up in the middle of the night to cuddle
Nick: No homo right haha)
Cas turned around in his sleep and huddled closer to Nick, twining their legs together and tucking his head under Nick's chin.
(lmaooo)
Nick held Cas tighter to him, embracing him as he drifted slowly back to sleep as well. I definitely have a thing for Cas, he realized as he fell asleep.
Cas was still asleep when Nick awoke again, very close and comfortable. His breathing was soft and even.
Nick smiled softly before wondering what time it was. He reluctantly got out of bed and looked at his clock, realizing that his father expected him in less than an hour. He wanted Nick to be with him as he met with some diplomat or duke or something.
Cas whined when Nick moved, shivering. Nix was curled up on his other side, but the cat wasn't really big enough to keep Cas warm.
Nick glanced back the bed with a small sigh. He quickly got dressed and ready before looking at the clock again. He quickly penned a note, explaining where he had gone and when he would be back, to Cas and set it on the nightstand next to his bed. Then, with a strange longing to stay and do nothing with Cas all day, he left.
Cas woke up about an hour and saw he was alone. He sat up sharply, beginning to panic, and Nix quickly crawled into his lap. Cas spotted the note and scanned it, feeling a little reassured, but no less anxious.
A few minutes later, Nick came back, bringing some food with him. He noticed that Cas was awake. “I’m sorry I had to leave, but if I didn’t my dad would come here looking for me,” he explained, hoping that Cas wasn’t too upset.
Cas just got up and hugged Nick without a word, trembling slightly. He buried his face in the other's chest.
Nick glanced at him, a bit stunned. He quickly reached over and set the food down on the nearest piece of furniture and hugged Cas back. “I’m really sorry for leaving,” he apologized again.
"It's okay…" Cas whispered, hugging him tighter. "You just scared me for a second there…"
Nick held him close. “I didn’t mean to scare you…I’m here now though.” He gave him a small smile.
Cas nodded a bit, finally starting to relax a little. "I'm sorry I'm so high maintenance."
“It’s okay,” Nick said, warmth filling his voice. “I’ll be here for you no matter what.”
"…Thanks.." Cas mumbled, hugging Nick a bit tighter. "I wonder if my dad's looking for me?"
“He’ll never think to look here,” Nick assured him, trying to comfort Cas. His room really was the last place Nick thought Cas’s father would look.
"Well, you know I've gotta go back sometime… I can't exactly stay here forever." Cas shrugged, though he looked a bit nervous still.
Nick wished that Cas could stay there forever. “Yeah, but what if he hurts you when you come back?” he asked quietly, not wanting to upset Cas but he also really didn’t want him getting hurt.
"I have no doubt he will." Cas replied weakly. "But there's nothing I can do about it."
“Well I won’t let him hurt you,” Nick replied stubbornly, a fire flaring to life in his eyes. “There’s got to be something I can do.”
Cas shrugged, his eyes seeming tired. "He's finally snapped. We can't stop him."
“But I can’t just stand by and let him hurt you,” Nick shot back. “It’s not okay.” Watching Cas like that twice was bad enough, and Nick wasn’t sure if he could do it two, three, four more times.
Cas flinched a bit at Nick's tone. "Y-Yes sir… I understand…" He said quietly, not catching his mistake.
Nick flinched at Cas’s response, mirroring him. “Oh god…oh god, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to say it like that, I just…hate seeing you in pain…”
Cas nodded, blushing a bit in embarrassment. "It's fine, I… I'm sorry…"
Nick didn’t say anything, having no idea what to say. He just held Cas, wishing that he could take away of all Cas’s pain.
Cas sighed. Stupid… now you've gone and fucked everything up. He gripped Nick's shirt.
After a another few minutes, Nick spoke up again. “I just care about you…” he said softly. “I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.”
