He'd break the other arm if he knew Dean thought he was playing older brother here. Michael is eldest between them, was older brother to thousands before Dean's species was even put on Earth. That they are equals here is not quite the thought that runs through Michael's mind, still arrogant archangel at heart, but they are closer to it than most other humans would be with him.

"Good." It's fine if Dean sees that there's more going on beneath Michael's insistence that everything is over and neatly packed away. He likes it when people don't argue with him. "I think we both have the answer to the question I originally came here with."

They're not exactly good, but they're better than they were. They've found solid ground to build on. What they're going to build is a thought for another day.

Michael turns his head just a touch, looks down at Dean's hand on his shoulder, then back at Dean. If there's nothing else, he'll be on his way just as soon as the man decides to move his hand. He could shrug it off, sure, but once again he'll allow his former vessel to make his own decisions.
