Gaping Hole

Cas has been looking all over for Meg and finally after he found a good lead, together with Sam and Dean they rescue Meg from Crowley.

The four of them then are in an abounded Wood House; a safe house of Bobby's, in the forest hiding from the demons of Crowley. While the guys are protecting the House, Castiel carries Meg to the Bed, because she fainted and he starts to treat her wounds.

Later she awakes and tries to sit upright.

Castiel: "Don't move, you and your vessel need some rest."

Meg: "My vessel will be fine, we been through a lot worse."

Continues.

Castiel: "Why can't you just once do what I say!"

She goes back to her laying position.

Meg: "My question would be, why do I wear other clothes? And who changed me?"

Castiel: "All of that old blood stuck to your skin, clothes and some of the wounds were pretty.. deep, I needed to clean them first."

with a mischievous/playful/coquettish smile Meg: "It's unfair, now that you have seen more of me and I haven't seen anything."

Castiel: "You know I can work pretty good with my eyes closed."

Meg: "As if."

Meg looks in his bright blue eyes, can't suppress a smile and looks out of the window. Castiel still looks at her and then continues treating the wounds on her arms and hands.

Castiel: "I will make you something to eat."

tries to get up Meg: "I feel already better, I will just grab it myself."

Castiel: "Meg, please. You were there for me, let me be there for you."

He walks out of the room leaving her alone.

Sam walks in and takes a seat on the armchair a cross the room.

Meg: "Where is your other half, I thought you only come in a twin pack."

Sam: "He is not really found that we got you back."

Meg: "Yeah right, so why did you exactly exempt me?"

Sam: "Because of Cas."

Meg: "What ?"

Sam: "Ehm.. he has been looking all over for you." Pause and a deep breath "He was afraid... I guess."

Meg: "I haven't told Crowley a thing."

Sam: "That's not what I meant... "

Silence.

Meg closes her eyes for a minute.

He clears his throat Sam: "Soo, you look good, I mean at better than six hours ago."

Meg:"Yeah, feel kind of too, his angel voodoo has done a good job." Pause "Whats the plan?"

Sam: "What plan?"

Meg: "Your brother and maybe even you, would never help me without a purpose, so what do you expect me to do this time?"

Sam: "Nothing, we did this for Cas, otherwise this would have been a suicide mission."

Awkward silence.

Meg: "So why are you here?"

Sam: "Just to check up on you, you were pretty messed up." Stands up and claps his hands Sam: "Yeah .. Ehmm...I should go get some sleep. Tomorrow morning will leave you two here, Dean and I need to go to Wichita."

Sam walks to the door.

With a smile Meg: "Thank you, and your dumb-ass brother."

Castiel enters the room with a plate of soup.

Sam: "Your welcome, you helped us more than once too."

Sam smirks and leaves the room.

Comes to her bedside Castiel: "I've made soup, tried."

Meg: "Thank you."

Castiel sits on her bedside.

Meg: "Don't you dare feeding me. Your magic worked, I am walking and talking, so let's somewhere I can eat, I am done with laying."

Meg stands up and loses her balance, Cas grips her back to balance her holding the tabled with his other hand.

Meg: "Shut up. Don't say anything."

Castiel: "You have to take better care of yourself."

Meg: "Okay Doc."

Castiel smirks and backs Meg Castiel: "I missed you."

Meg looks with a slight smile at Castiel. Castiel grips her tighter. Together they go to the kitchen.

The next day.

Meg enters the living room, where Sam and Dean are packing already.

Totally ignoring Meg Dean: " Cas we are ready to go anything you need before we take off."

Castiel: "No I don't need anything else. Thank you."

Meg: "I missed you too, Dean."

now starring deadly at Meg Dean: "Yeah... right... I just have one thing to say to you.." stepping closer to her "Don't you dare hurt my best friend or I shove your ass right back to Crowley."

interrupts Castiel: "You wont do such thing, now go, your help is needed in Wichita more then here."

Silence.

Sam and Dean grab their bags.

Dean: "Let's go Sammy."

Sam: "Goodbye Cas, Meg."

Both leave the House and a few seconds later you can hear the gear of the Impala.

Castiel is looking through the window.

Castiel: "You were screaming while you slept. I tried to wake you, but you didn't woke up, is everything alright?"

Meg: "Yes, I am okay Castiel."

Castiel: "You've been in Crowley's Hands for about a year, how can you be okay."

Meg: "It was just some memories." Castiel shakes his head "Why do you even care, why am I here."

Castiel: " Bobby protected this House with all kinds of stuff, its almost impossible for Crowley to find you here, you will be safe here." Pause " The reason I care, I can't even explain it to myself, I only know that I had a gaping hole inside of me for many many months. Then I finally realized. I am exhausted of denying."

Meg: " You know as well as I do that this can't happen."

Castiel: "I don't know, it doesn't seems impossible after all we been through after all we have done."

Meg: "Clarence, listen to yourself! If you haven't realized it by now I am a god damn demon and you my dear are an angel of the lord. There can't be any thing between us."

Castiel: "You always know, where I am you know how to reach me. Non of my garrison has such a connection to me, even Dean and Sam need to pray to me so I can come to them. I never felt this way, I have feelings I never had before... it's in my stomach. "

Meg: "Maybe you have vapors or diarrhea. "

Castiel: "Is this suppose to be sarcastic, because you know that Angels can't get sick. Stop avoiding."

He is stepping closer towards her - reaching for her hands, but she flinched her hands and stepped back.

Meg: "Castiel ... no."

whispering Castiel: "Just tell me why."

in a loud voice Meg: "What do you expect me to say let's go get married have some kids, two or three. Have a house in the suburbs, teach or kinds the values of life and see them grow to be great mom's and dad's themselves. I am messed up Castiel! Go find some pretty angle for yourself, have a good life, you have a chance, but not with me. I will just drag you down to hell with me, I am the devils bitch don't you forget that. "

louder Castiel: "You think your messed up? I played God and almost brought up the apocalypse." whispers "I don't want anybody else. "

Slowly stepping towards here, leaving her almost no place to go. He takes her hands and looks in her eyes.

Castiel: "You can look after your self, so why are you still here, if you don't want me? – Why don't you just disappear? Why didn't you just leave me while I was at the hospital?Why did you stay with me?"

Meg: "Why me ?"

Castiels hands go up to her waist.

Castiel: "Probably the same reason as yours. "

Meg comes closer and puts her hands under his coat and embraces him. They stay like this for some minutes .. just listening to his heartbeat. His embrace feels like home, it's be years she felt safe. As if his wings enclose their body's.

Meg: "Nobody will understand us, no one ever will except us, all the angels will probably turn on you, I mean more then already and your place in heaven will also be gone for sure- "

Castiel: " Meg, I never fitted - just like you, your different from all the others. I made my decision I can't be without you, the last months I missed you so much – It hurt."

His hands go upwards and while one disappears between her hair the other one grabs her neck. Their lips meet. Meg sighs. Castiel grabs her tighter. He tastes the sweet fire coming out of her mouth, which haunted his thoughts ever since the first Kiss.

Meg: "Well you haven't forgotten what the Pizzaman taught you."
