I hope you are enjoying this, sorry this chapter is short was going to be much longer but I had to get all ideas out of my head as quickly as possible and this is what happened. Please review as I dont know if anyone likes this or Im really going the wrong direction with this all
Its set season 4 after on the head of a pin, and will ideally run until season 4 ep 21, so will have a painfully sad ending I fear :-(
It was briefing time in heaven, selected Angels had been summoned to receive new orders, Anna was bored, although she was included she was not likely to be involved, she rarely was these days, just included as a warning to others. So she started looking around the room, then she spotted him, her eyes met his, the blue made her heart miss a beat. She chastised herself, never going to happen, don't get your hopes up, she told herself. No matter what she felt he was still an Angel, what he felt was very different to what she felt. He was the perfect soldier didn't question anything and did what he was told, didn't need to think. He could never really understand love, and her heart started to break a little more.

He was stood next to her, she grinned, she couldn't help herself, he gave a boyish half smile, but shock his head when she started to speak, and indicated they were still in a briefing so needed to be quiet a while longer. She moved her hand to touch his, assuming he had made the move to be next to her, he was interested, she was wrong, he moved away from her. Not in a quick forceful move but more to suggest this was not the place for it, he didn't look at her when he did it.
Suddenly there was a buzz around the room, and she realised she hadn't been listening to anything that was said for a while rather just watching Castiel, how still and straight he stood, how dark his hair was just making the blue of his eyes stand out more. She liked how his hair was fluffy like feathers, each strand having its own place. She really wanted to run her fingers though his hair, mess it up a bit, in fact she wanted to push him out of his calm comfort zone and get him all messed. Then she was very aware of lots of Angels talking, she tried to talk to him, but he was surrounded by other Angels, all wanting to talk to him, find out what the Winchesters were like, she was a bit jealous, she knew the boys as well, hell she knew them far more intimately than Castiel every could, or at least she hoped that was true, but other Angels rarely spoke to her these days.
Balthazar was filling Castiel in on his current mission, it appeared as though they had both been working on it before Castiel was pulled off and sent to rescue Dean. The two had always been very close Balthazar very protective of his younger brother, his younger geeky brother . He glanced crossly at Anna "What's she doing here?" he spat
"Leave her alone" defended Castiel
"Is something going on I should know about?" questioned the older blonde Angel, a slight smirk on his face
"She's been punished enough" Castiel sighed, "She's outcast, lost everything she had, just leave her alone" his blue eyes flaring with anger
" Ok" Balthazar grinned, winking, he turned to face Anna pure hate in his eyes " just because my brother can over look your betrayal, I can't, we are not friends, understand!" She swallowed and nodded, and moved closer to Castiel, where she felt safe, he had just defended her, her stomach was doing hopeful flips.
"See you around Cass" Balthazar half smiled as he flew off, it was clear though any affection was aimed only at Castiel not Anna.
"Are you ok?" asked Castiel softly, looking directly at her, her heart melted, she was struggling not to try to touch him, but there were still a lot of Angels around, and now she was very aware that she would make his life hard if she did make any move. She nodded not trusting herself to speak.
A much older Angel approached, he had white hair and a harsh expression, he walked up to them both "Castiel, Anna, you are well I take it?"
"Zachariah" Anna stated, "Good to see you "
He ignored her reply, put his hand on Castiel's arm and looked sternly into his eyes, "You have your orders, follow them", Castiel nodded and looked slightly saddened by this, and Zachariah vanished
Most of the Angels had gone, there were a few in groups around still talking, but they were more interested in each other than Castiel and Anna, so she decided to talk to him "what orders?" she questioned, as this was the easier way to break the ice than any of the many things going though her head.
"Just about not getting involved with the Winchesters, they think I'm losing focus with them" he muttered clearly not comfortable talking about it "Let's go for a walk, show me your favourite heaven" he said in a much softer tone.
She smiled and took his hand, this time he didn't back off
