Summary: AU. Castiel goes to her for comfort, for sex and for someone to talk to. The only problem is that he's starting to really fall for her. College-fic. Cas/OC. Plot is deeper than summary. Please R&R!

Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural or its characters. I only own my OC.

A/N: Okay, I'd really like to know if this is worth continuing. It's basically the development from friends with benefits to being lovers in a real relationship, but there's more to this story than there seems to be and it explores the issues surrounding the lives of Castiel and my OC.

Hope you enjoy!

Beautiful Release

Chapter One

Castiel really hoped that college would be a brand new start for him.

He hoped to get away from the confusion and angst of teenage life, away from the judgement of others and from the torturous bullying from others. Not a prayer. You'd think that when people got to college they grew up a bit, but it wasn't true. Yet amongst all this chaos, Castiel had one soul comfort other than his brother Jimmy and his few friends from high school.

He had Aria. Aria was the girl who he made a virginity pact with in high school. On prom night, they'd gone to Castiel's house and slept together. They were good friends, and they trusted each other with taking that special part of them. However, over the summer and as they started college, that progressed into sex for comfort, sex for dealing with horniness and sex to help each other take away the pain of loneliness and rejection. Even in winter, Castiel would go to Aria's room to keep her warm through the night because of how cold it was, and more often than not that would lead to sex too.

He went to her for sex more often than not. He'd started to have feelings for her after the first three months of college, when they'd spent Christmas together. They'd had sex on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's day. They'd had sex on Halloween, Bonfire Night, an many times before and in between.

It had almost become an obsession. They needed to touch each other, to feel each other.

They needed each other way too much.

Our story begins on a Saturday night. Most of the students in their year have gone out for the night, but the two of them just wanted someone's comfort. So he went to her. Castiel lay there, looking down at Aria's stunningly beautiful dark blue eyes, and her thick, fluffy auburn locks were splayed out on the pillows and partially hidden by her stunningly shaped shoulders and her pretty face. Her full lips were curved into a smile as they were so often when she was with him. Her body was quaking both with the cold in the room and the anticipation of what he was going to do next.

"Cas?" She asked as she gazed up at him, her hands sliding over his shoulders as she pulled him into a quick kiss.

How he loved her hands on him. She was really good with her hands, it had to be said, and he couldn't get enough of them on his body. They were warm and soft, and he loved them. He really loved them.

"Yeah, babe?" He replies, pulling her close to him.

"You don't think we're bad people, do you?" She asked, Castiel shaking his head.

"No. We're just here for each other." He promised, "There are people out there who do worse than what we're doing, okay, Aria?"

The girl nodded and kissed him again, gasping as he started to move inside her body. She hooked her legs over his thighs, moving with him which heightened the pleasure even more. The two grinned at each other, sharing a deep kiss as they fucked one another in the cold of the room on that freezing February night. It was strangely close to Valentine's Day which was in a way funny since the two of them were together at this time of year. Just two friends with benefits.

"God, Cas..." She gasped, "Oh, fuck..."

"Deeper?" He asked, earning a nod from her, "Here..."

He pushed her legs back with his arms and moved faster inside her body, hearing the gasps and moans of pleasure coming from her in regular rhythm, in time with the movement of his hips.

"Oh, Cas!" She cried, "Cas! Oh, fuck!"

"That good?" He asked, earning a whimper, "God, baby, you're so fucking tight..."

"Mmm...switch..." She panted, Castiel letting her legs go and rolling over, holding her hips as she ran her hands up her own body and into her hair, "Oh, God! Oh, yes! FUCK!"

"Baby, you're fucking killing me!" Castiel moaned, gripping her sides and pulling her down for a kiss, only for him to sit up and hold her close.

They slowed down a little and Aria realised that Castiel was holding her really tenderly, not roughly as he normally did. She held onto him in return and cuddled him close, kissing him gently.

"What is it, honey?" She asked, Castiel just holding her and sighing gently.

He didn't want to let her go, and when they moved to look at each other, he cupped her face tenderly and kissed her softly.

"Nothing." He replied, "You feel cold."

"Warm me up then!" She laughed, Castiel grinning and moving his body, "God, you're fucking gorgeous."

"So are you." He told her, stroking her face as she moaned quietly, "That feel good?"

"Yeah..." She groaned, "Oh, fuck...You okay to lay me down?"

"Your legs going?" Castiel asked with a smile, earning a gentle nod from the young woman, "Alright."

He knew that there came a point when her legs wouldn't support her at all, so he turned her around and lay her down against them, covering them with the sheets. They kissed one another, leaning into each other's necks as they road to their amazing high. Finally, they got there, settling down together and sharing kisses and touches.

"Damn..." Aria grinned, sighing as Castiel kissed her neck and took her hand.

"Fuck me, you're good..." He breathed, turning over and laying on his back, Aria curling up to him and rubbing his chest.

"You feel better...?" She asked, Castiel nodding gently at her, "You wanna stay here tonight?"

"Yeah." Castiel replied, "That okay?"

"Of course." Aria said sweetly, "I wouldn't have asked otherwise."

The two settled down, cuddling close and sharing the occasional kiss. It pained Castiel somewhat to know that they'd fucked to make him feel better about his shitty week in class. It pained him to think that he'd stripped her down to her barest and most intimate form and he'd just used her for his own gain. He'd used her to gain his own release.

"Goodnight." She whispered, Castiel holding her closer and kissing her gently.

"Night, sweetheart."

He didn't sleep very much that night. He was just content to watch over her and hold her right through until the next morning.
