Just a little, little one-shot. I didn't really mean to write it, but the little Dean singing clip came up on my iPod and I started thinking… XD Anyways, tiny.
Disclaimer: I don't own the song that I named the chapter after or the peoples… but I do love them!

Even as I wonder, I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the wind on a cold out winter night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might…
Castiel had been assigned charges to guard before. There was no reason for this one human, Dean Winchester, to be any different. He was more important, maybe, but certainly he was still only a human.
But he was different, somehow. Castiel was starting to feel drawn to him, drawn to protect him even without his orders… even with orders against it.
Dean was the human who had- unknowingly- started the initial stages of the apocalypse. Yet, he was also the key to ending this. If Lucifer was freed- as Castiel's brothers and sisters assured that he must be- then Dean would truly be the only bright spot left in the darkness; he was the last hope.
Castiel could see the trust in Dean's eyes though the hunter tried not to show it. For the first time in his immortal life, Castiel felt. He felt guilty; he wanted to deserve this trust that he so carelessly disregarded.
But he couldn't disobey. Orders were orders.

Please review! Seriously, it makes my day, even if it's only one word.
