Dean is glad that Sam doesn't apologize. At some point, he has to stop
apologizing for everything Lucifer did (and for his part in allowing
Lucifer the opportunity) and focus on living what's left of his life. Dean
is just trying not to do more harm in his own life. "Yeah. When I first got
here, I was in some standard apartment. It was fine but Lucy called it a
transitional placement." He rolls his eyes a little to show he's not sure
he believes it. "She brought coffee and pie over one day, talked to me a
little then the next day brought me keys and drove me out to the cabin. I
tried to argue with her and tell it was too much; the apartment was fine.
You can imagine how that went." Lucy doesn't argue. She simply smiles, nods
then does what she wants anyway. You can go along with it or you can get
bulldozed in the process. Dean frowned at Sam's suggestion. "No thanks.
I'll let Lucy fight those battles." You couldn't pay him to get involved in
politics. He'd end up moving further out into the woods in a tent if
necessary.
Dean nods a little at Sam's reassurance that he's not sleeping in bathtubs.
Most nights, Dean sleeps in bed as well unless he's just not sleeping at
all, and he still has those nights. "That's good," he says after a moment.
Whether Sam believes it or not, Dean believes that Sam deserves comfort and
good things in life. Yeah, it took him a long time to forgive Sam for
saying yes to Lucifer. Still, in the end, he'd just been glad that he no
longer lived in a world without his baby brother, even if his relationship
and feelings toward his baby brother is complicated. "Yeah, practically
brand new with some sort of brand new fancy protective cover on it. Clean
sheets, blankets. She set me up." He has always assumed that Cas had
something to do with that.
