Together they were never truly homeless.

Castiel meets Katherine Reed in a church not long after leaving the bunker. Katie, as she likes to be called, is surprised to learn that the gentle looking family man is homeless like herself. Cas, as he introduces himself, is a kind man; innocent, naive, and gentle. Katie can tell he hasn't been homeless for long, but she doesn't pry. Simply allows the handsome man to join her, having company is nice and there's safety in numbers. They become a little team; moving around together, looking for work, gathering food, finding shelter. Katie's been without a family, moving from shelter, to group home, to abandoned building for years until Cas comes into her life and suddenly she's got a home again. But it doesn't have a roof, or four walls, or a door. It's five-foot-eleven-inches, has dark hair, and striking ocean blue eyes.
