"Castiel! You can't hide forever!" Michael yelled, anger almost radiating off his body. Castiel accidently broke one of Michael's mugs that he loved so much since it was from their Father. Cas, around 9, was curled up in a little ball, Gabriel holding him close. Gabe was always so protective of Castiel. They were in Gabriel's room, sitting on the bed. "It's okay Cassy, Michael won't touch you." Saying quietly as Castiel sucked on the lollipop he was given. It calmed him down. Hearing stomping from up the stairs and the door slamming open, Cas saw Michael for a quick moment before something with feathers surrounded him.

Getting around 6 hours of sleep, Castiel slowly woke up. Yawning and was about to stretch until he noticed that if he did, Dean would wake up. Looking up at the dirty blonde haired male, and smiled. He knew he shouldn't be so happy around Dean but his heart just felt all light and his stomach felt like butterflies. Hearing someone walking down the steps and panicked, "Sorry."
He whispered, and got up. Instantly standing and saw Lucifer. Cas brushed himself off and looked at his older brother. Seeing the mischievous smirk, which made Castiel glare. Gabriel probably learned that smirk from Luci. Dean groaned, waking up. Having sexy bed hair, while Castiel had more a cute bed head. The Winchester slowly sat up, and looked over at now a surprised Lucifer. Cas by now was blushing, "H-Hello Lucifer." Mumbling quietly, as Luci felt instantly annoyed by Dean being here. "Why is that Winchester here? Don't tell me you two did stuff last night." Cas widen his eyes, "Of course not! I was just helping him. He was freezing and I invited him in." Glaring now daggers, Dean sighed. "I should really go." Whispering for Cas to hear him. Which he did, "Dean the streets are still covered in snow. I doubt people are driving around today.." Saying quietly. Lucifer huffed, "He can stay for another few hours before we send his ass back home." Saying as he went to the kitchen to continue the morning.
Castiel sat back down onto the couch, feeling Dean stare at him. "What is up with your brother?" Dean asked as Cas just shrugged. "Ever since he got that odd tattoo on his body, Luci wasn't the same. Him and Michael yell all the time." Sighing, before looking over at Dean. "Sorry you had to be there first hand with Lucifer." Trying to give an apologetic smile but it didn't budge. Dean just chuckled, "It's fine. It was just wrong place at the wrong time." Saying as Cas nodded. Changing the subject since he knew that Michael isn't home by how they didn't wake up to yelling. And Gabriel was off somewhere, possibly laying out traps now. "Would you like anything to eat?" Saying and stood up, helping Dean. Noticing for a few quick seconds how Dean's shirt lifted. Not trying hard to think about it.

A few hours passed, the snow was starting to melt as it was getting hotter into the day. Cas was wearing an odd outfit in Dean's eyes, mainly the trench coat. "So. Where are we heading?" Asking as snow trucks were pushing the snow out from the road and onto the side. Dean chuckled, "I told you when we were leaving the house. To my baby, we gotta get her home so Sammy doesn't freak out." Dean explained at least five times to angel eyes but Cas seemed to be forgetting, maybe it was the cold messing with him. Cas nodded and looked around. Humming softly as he noticed Dean quickening up the pace and followed. By the time they got to Dean's 'baby', the snow was melt quite fast. Seeing Dean relax and unlock the car, turning it on. It did, and Cas froze up. Feeling he knew this car before but not knowing where. Dean noticed this, "Hey Cas. You okay there buddy?" Looking at him before Cas nodded and slowly got in. "Just drive me home please. I doubt Michael would drive anymore in this weather than he has to." Cas spoke as Dean, slightly looked a little upset, nodded and quickly changed his emotion. "Alright. Just text me if you ever need me alright?" Dean spoke and slowly made his way out ofthe parking lot. "I promise Dean." Saying quietly and looked out the window.
When Castiel got home, Luci and Michael were sitting next to each other on the couch. Very rare thing to happen unless someone got in trouble. Slowly closing the door, seeing Gabe frown, he was sitting on the staircase. Raphael was on the chair, not really wanting to have this discussion. Castiel looked around and slowly pulled his trench coat closer. "Hello.." Saying, almost seemed scared. The fear didn't last long when Gabe stood next to him. Michael spoke first.
"You can't have that human over. He can be a danger to us." "He could find out what we all are and that wouldn't be safe for us to be here any longer than we should." Lucifer spoke, not liking to agree with Michael but it has to be done. Cas glared, "He doesn't know anything and he won't!" Snapping, he hated this. "He will! Just like Kevin found out about us! What happened when that happened, Castiel?!" Michael raised his voice and stood up.
Gabriel spreaded his wings and kept Castiel close to them. Six wings, three on each side, golden and white. Castiel felt safe in them. Of course since Gabe was the youngest Arch, he was the weakest. Lucifer had the same amount but his was dark grey with some red at the tips, Michael's was pure light golden, and Raphael's was just white but same amount as the other three. Anna that wasn't here, had almost a light blue shade of wings, showing she was almost a high rank. Castiel was special as Gabe told him, only have one on each side of his body, but his was black and had blue highlights, like a raven.
Castiel didn't speak as he looked down, he felt so bad for Kevin. He couldn't of saved him. "Castiel! Look at me when I speak to you." Michael took steps closer, Gabe seemed to actually back down but Cas was already terrified. "Michael, yelling isn't going to help!" The trickster spoke, glaring up at his brother. Michael glared, "Kevin was killed on Metatron' s orders. Castiel had nothing to do with it!" Gabe spoke. Castiel flinched at each yelling. He couldn't handle it. Michael looked at Gabe then Castiel, before sighing softly. "Castiel. You are not allowed to bring anyone into this house again. Do you understand?" Speaking as Cas nodded, "I understand Michael." Behind Castiel's back, he held onto one of Gabriel's fingers. Cas did that every time he was scared.
For the rest of the day, Castiel stayed next to Gabe. They played games, pranked called and just spoke. Castiel wore his shirt with angel wings, as he never spreaded his own out. Scared to get someone else harmed. Cas looked down, "Was Michael right...? Was it might fault that Kevin was smited?" Speaking softly. Only being created 100,00 years ago before being brought down here with the five, which was pretty young compared to most, he still needed to learn and Michael wasn't the best. Still pure and unknowing to most of everything. Gabriel sighed, "Of course not. It wasn't your fault. He just was.. trying to warn you." "Warn me? He was yelling and blamming me. Like always.." Muttering as Gabe just rubbed his back. "He is just protective us. He wants you to have a life.." Saying quietly as Cas seemed to understand from the nod.
Around night, Cas would sneak on his phone since he shouldnt be using it at night, texting Dean. Smiling happily, knowing he shouldnt be getting attached. Sighing softly and raising an eyebrow, seeing Dean send a text saying, 'Look in your trench coat pocket.' Cas chuckled, 'Over coat and alright', sending it. Slowly getting up, and walked across his room. His walls were full of pictures of flowers and his family. Only having his Father there a few times. Slowly going to his trench coat, and placed his hands in the pockets. Before feelings a chain. Tilting his head and pulled it out.
It looked normal until he saw a charm with angel wings and a halo. Smiling and put it around his neck. Hearing his phone buzz and went back to laying down on his bed. Looking at the message before he slowly fell asleep. His hand holding onto the chain.
'Goodnight Angel.'
