AN: I do not know why but I had to fill this prompt…oh I had to do this so very badly. It got stuck in my head and burned its way so deep in my brain that I fear a great big blistering hole of puss oozing awesomeness will all that will be left. Nice picture huh? Anyways this is for made of tin over at LJ.
There have been six different occasions that Castiel has been hugged, three of them from Dean, two from Sam, and one he hand delivered himself. The first one was a shock it was not something he was used to, physical contact from anyone was a fairly new sensation for him. But he gradually grew to accept them, dare say even enjoy them. No enjoy would be too strong of a word, let's just say that they were not entirely unpleasant.
The first time was after he fell, after Dean had slipped the ring from Pestilence into his pocket and they were safe and away from that nursing home. Dean had pulled Cas into a hug, a deep bone crushing hug that had momentarily stunned Cas, he stood stock still his arms stiff at his side as Dean gripped Cas tight against him. After Dean had released him Dean slammed his fist into Cas's arm telling him he had done a good job. For a moment Cas felt like a dog being told by his master that he was a good boy because he had went to the bathroom outside instead of on the new carpet.
The second time was no less of a shock to Cas. It was after he had shown up when Dean had prayed to him. Once again Dean had pulled Cas into a bone crushing grip that seemed a lot less weak this time around because one he was an angel and two Dean was a human. Cas could've easily collapsed Dean's chest with one push of finger. But he didn't he let Dean hug him because even after all this time Cas remembered the slight pleasant sensation that he had got when Dean hugged him the first time.
The third time was from Sam, after Castiel had popped back in for a quick update to see if they had heard any tidbits about Heaven's weapons floating around. Sam had thrown his arms around him, which was quite different from Dean's. Sam was taller for sure and stronger and it made it kind of awkward because Castiel's face went into Sam's neck. By this time Cas had gotten a bit more clarity on what he was supposed to do. So he reached his arm around and patted Sam on the back while Sam went on about how funny it was that he called Dean 'a hairless ape.'
The fourth time was after Dean and Sam had discovered what had happened to Sam's soul, when he had popped in on Dean and Sam. Dean had wrapped his arms around Cas and just stood there as Sam went out of the room claiming that he needed to get something to eat.
Fifth time was from Sam, it was a one arm embrace, his large arm had been slung over Cas's shoulder as Sam pulled him close and reassured him that they would get his soul back. Though Cas was pretty sure that Sam didn't at this point really care because without a soul you can't.
And the sixth time was when Cas had walked up to Dean and slung and arm around him pulling him close. He had leaned down next to Dean's ear and whispered "Stop being a bitch." In Dean's ear after Dean had been bemoaning about Crowely and Sam's soul. To say that Dean was surprised would've been a vast understatement.
