I do not own Harry Potter or Supernatural, they belong to their rightful creators.
WARNING: SLASH! This means male/male pairing. If you have a problem with that, then don't read it. Not beta'd.
Not really based around any set episode. Random.
Pairing: Harry/Sam one-sided Harry/Castiel
Harry laughed as Sam downed the rest of his beer, choking on the alcohol as he tried to swallow it as quickly as possible. The hunter gave a spluttering cough as Harry, still grinning, smacked his back a couple of times. With a frown, Castiel cocked his head to the side and blinked at the interaction. He stared as Harry absentmindedly ran a calloused hand through his unruly black hair. The angel dampened his dry lips with his tongue as he continued to watch the young wizard, his mouth curling into a small smile as Harry gave another laugh.
"You're trying to get me drunk!" Sam accused with a wide grin as Harry put another pint of beer in front of him.
"Me?" Harry clutched a hand to his chest as he stared at his lover with mock hurt. "Never! Why would I do that?"
"So you can have your wicked way with me." Sam shrugged his shoulders, smirking.
Castiel knew what 'wicked way' was, and he felt a pain in his chest at the meaning.
"I already have." Harry's eyes travelled downwards unabashedly as he said this. "And I don't need you drunk to have it again."
Wincing, Castiel looked away from the couple.
"However, I think we should keep an eye on Dean in case he ends up being sent to hospital." Harry added with a smile and Castiel turned to see the aforementioned hunter hustle several big guys by the darts board.
Sam chuckled. "I think I should go over there and help him." Sam gave Harry a hard kiss before he stood up. "See you in a little while."
"Kick their arses." Harry told him.
"Promise."
Castiel watched the tall man leave to go help with Dean, before his Sapphire eyes shifted to stare at Harry. The human was doing the same thing, eyes trained on his giant of a partner, though for different reasons to Castiel, and the angel took his chance to drink in the appearance of the other male; wallowing in his presence.
Yet the constant ache that was always with Castiel grew as he realised that the happiness showing on Harry's face and the sparkling of the eyes were caused by Sam Winchester. Lucifer's vessel. He made Harry happy, not the angel. Acknowledging that caused more agony than being tortured by his brethren or by demons.
"You okay, Cass?" Harry asked, startling the being.
Castiel blinked and focused back on the worried face of Harry.
"I am okay." Castiel told him, avoiding direct eye-contact with the wizard.
"All right." Harry smiled. "You just looked a little spaced out, there."
"Spaced out?"
"It's a figure of speech." Harry's smile grew. "It means that your thoughts were somewhere else."
"I understand." Castiel nodded. "My... thoughts were somewhere else."
Harry gave a laugh. " gotta' love you sometimes, Cass."
Castiel stiffened, eyes widening as he heard the words.
"It's another figure of speech." Harry said as he tried to reassure Castiel when he saw the reaction, frowning when the angel actually looked hurt and disappointed for a split second before all emotion was wiped from the being's face.
"I see." Castiel grabbed his pint of beer and all but downed the whole thing in several long gulps.
"Slow down there, Castiel." Sam said as he and his brother re-joined the two, the former pulling Harry up out of his seat for a deep kiss.
"Dude!" Dean wrinkled his nose and pretended to be disgusted. However Castiel could see that the hunter was amused by the public display and his actions was all for show.
"Just getting warmed up for later." Sam shot back as he wrapped an arm around Harry's waist.
"Oh God, no." Dean moaned, giving them a look of horror.
"Hence the separate rooms" Harry added with a wink. "So we don't disturb you with us having sex all the time."
Dean clamped his hands to his ears in an attempt to block out what Harry had just said.
Castiel on the other hand bit back the sudden urge to let out a small sob. Instead he pushed back his chair, the legs scraping against the hard floor, and got up. He needed to get away. Just for a little while so he could calm these powerful human emotions.
"Cass?" Beautiful green eyes peered up at him in confusion.
His sudden action must have startled him.
"I have to go." Castiel told him, voice strained.
Without giving them a chance to respond, Castiel left, feeling something wet fall from his eyes as he did so.
Yet, as he found himself re-appearing on a deserted street and wiping the small drops of water from his cheeks, he remembered what some humans did in his position. He had seen it happen in a film once when he was forced to watch it with Harry when the Winchester brothers were out. They would tell the person who held their heart that they loved them.
But even as he thought of it, he knew he would never tell. Castiel could not do that to Harry. The wizard's happiness was far too important for the angel to ruin. And that was when Castiel knew what he had to do. Even at his own expense. He would not interfere.
So Castiel watched as Harry continued to love Sam.
And Harry never realised that that he had caught the heart of an angel. And had broken it as well.
This is the first time I had ever done a Harry/Sam pairing, but I had to throw it in. Poor Castiel, *Ducks flying objects*, but the idea just came to me. The next chapter I will be less mean to our favourite angel.
