It was not my usual scene, but that is what the lady on my arm wanted. An art viewing. Usually it is a fancy restaurant, but hey, this was free. Janet, the small brunet rambled on, smiling and stopping for what seemed to be five minutes each over every piece of art. It only took me 3 seconds, but I continued to stand with her, checking my watch every now and then. Yeah, Janet was pretty, but I am pretty sure this is going to be a one night stand and that is it , way too much work.

As the night went on, and I had to listen about paint, what was more boring than that? I swear if I had to look at one more painting-

I stopped in my tracks, staring at a painting that took up the entire wall in the corner of the room. Everyone else seemed to ignore or miss it, which was confusing, after all, it was breathtaking. Two angels on top of a skyscraper. It was an odd combination, and I had to move close to make sure it was not a picture. It was definitely a painting.

"You coming Dean?" Janet tugged at my arm but I did not budge.

"One second.." I mutter, eyes scanning for the name of the artist...in the corner was a little C, and that was it. Not much to go by.

Janet looked over and laughed a bit. "Pretty isn't it? It has been up for months, but no one really knows who painted it. It just appeared one day."

"Why doesn't anyone buy it? Or look for the artist?"

Janet chuckled "As the art director of this place, I keep it there because it feels like it belongs. I would buy it if could, but where would the money go? Who would I give it too. We have offers on it, but I always have to decline, cannot sell without the painter's consent."

That makes sense... but it was unsettling how a piece of art just showed up. "No one seems to be looking at it.." I note, looking around.

"Most people here are regulars, and most of them made an offer." Janet shrugged pulling me away from the mysterious painting. "They just accept it's existence and keep to themselves."

"That still doesn't explain how-" I ran into something. At first I panicked because I thought i bumped in a statue or some kind of art piece, but on the floor was a man scrambling to pick up canvas that was knocked out of his hands.

" Castiel!" Janet snapped " careful with those works we are planning on selling them!"

" No,No...it was my fault..I was the one who ran into him." I hold out my hand to help the other up " Sorry about that pal."

The man grabbed my hand and pulled himself up " I am sorry .." He let go of my hand quickly before dusting himself off " I will be more careful next time."

Janet gave a tortured sigh " Castiel here is the one who puts up all the painting for display and cleans up around here."

I frown a bit, maybe he saw who put up the painting. " Hey , do you see who hung that?" Maybe he did or maybe he saw who dropped it off.

Castiel looked back at the painting , flinching a bit. " it was just there one day, I hung it up thinking that Janet wanted it on display.." He stopped, making eye contact with me.I did not know what he was doing, but it almost seemed like he was analyzing me, making a mental note. His eyes averted and he coughed a little before he grabbed the rest of the canvases of the floor. " I hope you enjoy the viewing , excuse me." He left without another word.

I blink a bit before turning my attention to Janet " Well... He is..different."

Janet laughs " Castiel always seemed off, but he is a good worker. He is always on time and never questions what he is told. Very loyal."

" Does he paint or something? Why did he get into the business?" I looked over at Castiel, who was straightening a frame.

" I don't really know, he came in saying he needed the money and that he was a hard worker... He does not seem like the type to have time for painting ..let alone any hobby." Janet drones on about having to do so much for this art viewing and how she herself has not slept in weeks.

I am not really listening anymore, I give a small nod every now and then. I am more interested in a the help who seems so introverted, keeping out of the way and fixing things when people were not looking. I feel like he would be one of those people you do not notice in a room until he speaks up. He looks at me again, and I quickly look the other way. For some reason, it was unsettling when our eyes met. I can feel him still staring and the discomfort increases. I look back to see him only a few inches away from my face. I felt my heart in my throat, jumping in surprise. " Holy fuck!"

Castiel flinched too, surprised by my outburst, and everyone around me too. He cleared his throat and held out his hand " I apologize, but I believe this is yours, I noticed it was missing." He held out a cuff link.

That was what he was staring at? I let out a small sigh of relief. He wasn't trying to be creepy, he was just trying to locate the owner of the cuff link . I take it carefully " Sorry, you startled me. Thank you for finding it."

Castiel gave a small smile, nodding . " I should have spoke up, I did not have any intention of startling you." He put his hand to his side, his brilliant blue eyes disappearing out of view when he turns away.

Was I being rude? I watch him leave without another word, and I lose sight of him again. What a strange person...

Janet pulled at my arm, pulling me away from my train of thought " Let's get going."
