Let's Break Some Hearts

by cazula

Castiel and Azula have decided to give up the harsh life that comes with stopping the apocalypse. Avoiding all possible dangers they try their hand at a normal life, leaving behind both Heaven and Hell. It's been a few years, but they finally think they've got the hang of it. A home with a growing family can't really be all that great when it's shared by an Angel and Demon though.

1. Castiel

It was early in the day. Everything was fine for the most part like always. Alex and Jett were watching TV in the living room and singing along with whatever it was the little animated characters were focused on today. The time? It was probably about one or two o' clock in the afternoon. A fine summer day, and perfect out of every aspect accept one. Something was off. Something was up, and it wasn't the usual feeling of the kids are up to no good. No, this was different. This was an uneasiness that had the Angel on edge. Something that made him just want to avoid anything and everything. But he wouldn't do that. He wasn't going to hide from whatever this was. He was never too good at running away anyway.

Castiel stood in the kitchen leaning back on the counter. A mug of coffee was beside his hand, of course he didn't need the drink but it felt right after a while. Settling down and adjusting to normal society had him doing things he never even thought about. Drinking coffee, cooking food that he didn't even need solely because he had others actually depending on him for it. It was strange, but it was his life now. And he wasn't looking to change it.

Cas quietly looked through the window on the far wall, completely lost in his own mind again. There was something strange happening in the house. Tensions were shifting between Azula and him even if they tried to play it off sometimes. Of course while he absolutely hated to use his abilities sometimes they were necessary. Maybe a bit of poking through her mind could help him get to the bottom of this.

Shaking his head he decided against it. He knew how much it bugged her, and Cas also knew what an invasion of privacy that was. Castiel gave a light sigh rolling his shoulders forward. He would just have to do this the normal way, by talking to her about it. Communication was something he wasn't always great at, but it was different with Azula. They had been able to talk their way through many things and he hoped this would be no different.

Then of course, who is to say Azula would even want to talk about whatever it is? She was stubborn sometimes, and wouldn't even give him the time of day. This was going to be an interesting experience.
