Life.
It's not fun.
It's not easy.
It isn't even preferable over death.
In reality life isn't something anyone asks for anymore. It isn't even desirable.
Life is simply something you have to survive.
It isn't easy to survive either. There is to much getting in the way. Too many people that want your life to be terrible.
Castiel knew that. He understood that. Who was he to question it?
Kids were going to bully him. People were going to hurt him. His brothers would always hurt him, and that's what Castiel's life would be.
A mixture of pain and suffering.
But Castiel didn't expect this.
He hadn't expected a green eyed angel to come his way, just a broken as he was. He hadn't expected anything good to happen to him. He hadn't expected that freckled boy to come and save him.
He hadn't expected life to give him someone to help him.
And at first Castiel rejected his saviour. The righteous man, Dean Winchester.
This was life they were living. Castiel wasn't lucky enough to have a saviour.
But then Castiel found out that Dean was broken too. Dean's father was abusive and alcoholic. And Dean needed an angel.
That's when Castiel became Dean's angel. And Dean became Castiel's righteous man.
And together they learned to do something that most people never learned.
Something most people would never learn.
They learned how to live life happily.
And they did so, together.
