The door slams shut behind Castiel as he steps out of the car, his family falling silently behind him. Nerves suddenly flooded Castiel's body as he approached the church, the satisfying crunch of the gravel beneath his feet giving him silent encouragement. The preacher's son was already outside the stairs of the church, greeting people with a smile and extending his hand for them to shake; Castiel could feel his heart pounding against the cage in his chest as he got closer and closer to the boy he had been in love with for two years already. With the boy's long, sandy brown hair and hazel eyes that shone in the light of the sun streaming in through the glass stain windows, legs that went on for miles and arms thicker than Castiel's neck, it was hard not to be in love with him; even if he was a Godly Man.
Castiel flinched slightly when a hand clapped on his shoulder and he looked up to see his father, a wide grin spreading on his face as his eyes gazed in the direction of the other church people; a silent reminder to keep Castiel's mouth shut and be seen, not heard. Castiel mentally rolled his eyes but put on a smile, as it was easier to do that than to disobey his dad.
"Good morning Sam."
Castiel greeted, extending his hand towards the man he was in love with and giving him his (hopefully) most charming smile. Sam smiled back and took the extended hand, giving it a firm shake. "Castiel, good morning. Welcome back to the house of God. If you have a spare moment, I would actually like to introduce you to someone." Confusion cleared away the happy fog that had begun to cover Castiel's mind at the sound of his name rolling off of Sam's tongue (and broke through the intense scene that was beginning). "Yeah, who is it?" Castiel asked, curiousity overcoming his disappointment. Sam just smiled and took Castiel's hand (There must be a God above, and he must be looking down on me with a smile if Sam Winchester is holding my hand), dragging him insdie the church and weaving throughout the crowded pewes. Sam stopped right in front of the alter, where a man was standing, his back to Castiel. Sam tapped on his shoulder and the man turned around.
And suddenly, everything stopped.
The man was shorter than Sam, but not by much. His short hair framed the edges of his face perfectly and the light brownness of the strands complemented his green eyes beautifully. His eyes shone like light through an emerald, and his pink lips were perfectly full. His face was nearly perfectly symmetrical, and his bowlegs made Castiel weak in the knees. The man's tongue darted out to wet his lips, making Castiel swallow harshly and he smiled at Castiel, his teeth perfectly straight and white.
"Castiel, this is my brother, Dean. He's home visiting from his first year of college."
Castiel cocked his head in Sam's direction, but his eyes never left Dean. "I didn't know you had a brother." He commented, giving Dean a once over. Dean chuckled and put his hands in his slack pockets. "That's because I just recently moved back. I was living in North Carolina Tennasee for about a year before coming back home for college. I'm living in the dorms, but I felt like coming home." As Dean talked he reached forward and ruffled Sam's hair, making Sam laugh. Snapping out of his daze, Castiel stuck out his hand and smiled widely at Dean.
"Well Dean, I'm Castiel. It's nice to meet you."
Dean took the hand and, just like his brother, gave it two hard pumps before withdrawing his hand. "It's nice to finally meet you; Sam has told me so much about you over the last two years and I was anxious to finally meet the best friend of my little brother." Castiel knew that he should have felt his heart go wild at the mention of Sam talking about him to his family, but Castiel felt nothing but dryness in his throat. "Well, I do try my best to keep Sam out of trouble." Sam snorted quietly and punched Castiel in the shoulder. "Oh please Cas, it's me who's keeping you out of trouble. If it wasn't for me, you'd be in jail by now." Castiel laughed softly and nodded, feeling his face flush.
"Well, I'd love to keep talking, but I have to go help Dad with the sermon before the service starts. Castiel, if you would be interested, maybe you can stay a little longer after the service and we can talk better?" Castiel nodded, smiling gently at the older man. "Yeah, that would be nice." Dean smiled once more before walking past Sam and Castiel, placing his hand on Sam's shoulder as he passed.
Have you ever seen someone and knew as soon as you saw them that something amazing was going to happen? That you saw them, and suddenly you could see every laugh, every kiss, every smile passed by unknowingly. You could see every fight, every word yelled with anger, every heart breaking moment. You knew right away that this person was both a poision, and a cure. You saw them, and immediately thought, This is them. The one I've been looking for when I wasn't even looking. You heard their voice, and suddenly you could see yourself holding hands, a soft kiss under the shower of rain, the sweet nothings whispered in silent moments. You saw them, and knew immediately that this person would either be your heaven or your hell. You saw them, and knew that this could only end in heartbreak, you saw them and knew that they would only cause you pain, unhappiness, agony. You saw them, and knew that nothing good would come from this.
And yet, you jump right in.
As Castiel watched Dean walk away, he could feel his two year unrequited love fade away, and instead the feeling of hopelessness and freedom take it's place.
