A/N: This is my first supernatural fanfiction, so sorry if its completely terrible!

This is series of one-shots based on Castiel as a fledgling growing up etc. It will be angel-centric for obvious reasons with plenty of fluff and family drama in the later chapters. I unfortunately do not own supernatural or any of the characters in the show.

You can leave me a review in the box way below to let me know what you think and offer suggestions or PM me, however I may not get back to you straight away. If you want to get updates about when I update don't forget to follow my story below :)

I'm not sure whether I can update tomorrow, so here's one now ^-^

Do : (Force them to) Play

Sunlight danced lightly, across the archangels skin, filling him with warmth. The weather was beautiful and heaven was practically buzzing with happiness.

Raphael must be in a good mood.

Gabriel sat up, from his position on the grassy hill, and watched the children playing beneath him. It seemed as if all the fledglings, were participating in a game of tag. Except one.

"Come on Cas, why don't you join in with your other siblings?" Gabriel asked the young boy, currently staring at one of Joshuas' flower beds. Not that he minded his brothers company, but now was the time to enjoy the simple things, like playing games and messing around. Castiel just shrugged, his focus on a small bumblebee flying around.

"At least talk to them. Where's Elizar?" Gabriel questioned curiously, it had become a habit for the two of them to go off together, exploring, or reading one of the many books their sister would often be carrying with her.

"Training." Castiel answered, with an undertone of disappointment, "Like always." Gabriel understood how his brother felt, he had talked to Michael about Zachariahs 'methods,' but he'd been told that, because Elizar didn't have a problem with it, there was nothing he could do. Sometimes, he would see his sister wielding a practice sword, or with her head buried in an ancient text, and felt sad she had been exposed to their lifestyle, at such a young age. Even if she was one of the oldest fledglings, Zachariah could have waited a few more months, before tainting her innocence. Gabriel was snapped out of his thoughts, as Balthazar came running over.

"Gabe come play with us!" He shouted, sprinting up the hill, the archangel made to stand, before stopping and looking over at Castiel.

"You know Balthazar, I'm kinda tired, but I'm sure Cas would love to play with you!" Gabriel said enthusiastically, using his powers, he made Castiel unable to speak and shoved him upright.

"Look he's speechless. Off you go, have fun."

Balthazar didn't question his older brother, instead he grabbed the younger and dragged him down the hill. Once they were at the bottom, Castiel could talk again and tried to tell his new companion, that he really didn't want to play. His words of protest were promtly dismissed and he found himself struggling to keep up with Balthazar. He stopped trying to fight and instead increased his speed, so he was neck to neck with his brother.

"Oh, so that's how it is?" Balthazar laughed, calling out to all the other fledglings as the pair ran past.

"First one to the Great Oak, gets to pick the game!" All of a sudden, the earth began to shake, as all the young angels began to race towards a looming tree, in the distance. Castiel and Balthazar were still in the lead, with the older angel inching in front. Heavens youngest didn't know what came over him, but the prospect of his brother winning unleashed a burst of speed as they neared their destination. In seconds, he was rushing ahead and behind him he could hear Balthazar cheering his name, as Castiel skidded to a stop next to the Great Oak. A wide smile spread across his face, as his grace hummed within him. Moments later, his siblings were congratulating him, but he was still overwhelmed by the thrill of the race to notice,

"So what do you think?" Balthazar asked,

"That was... Amazing." Castiel said, deciding which word suited how he was feeling right now.

"I know, you're really fast!" His brother replied, seemingly impressed. "You won, so what game do you want to play?"

"Erm-" Castiel had never played any games before, but his brothers and sisters were all waiting expectantly for his answer. He struggled to think of, one of the many, conversations he'd had with Gabriel on 'fun'. "Hide and seek?" He said unsure, the others looked at him confused for a moment,

"Oh, he means hide and find." Balthazar laughed, and the other children became excited.

"I want to be the finder!" Anael shouted, "30...29...28..-" She started counting down and all the fledglings scattered.

"C'mon Cas, you can hide with me." Balthazar whispered, pulling his brother into the forest.

Castiel smiled, as yet another pair of feet ran past their hiding spot. So far no one had found them. Suddenly, there was a loud splat and something hit the back of his head. Cas gingerly reached up and felt his hair. His hand came back wet and sticky with... tree sap? He spun and glared at his brother, who was desperately trying hard not to laugh and reveal their location. Without thinking, Castiel grabbed a handful of sap, pooling beneath the tree, and launched it at his brother. Balthazar dodged, but not fast enough, as his light charcoal wings got coated in the goo. He looked as shocked as Castiel, but soon started to laugh and later the younger angel joined in too. After fighting each other for a while, Balthazar believed that it was only fair if their siblings joined in, so he quickly covered lots of leaves in the sticky substance, before going to find another fledgling. Castiel was uncertain and wondered if 'pranking', as Balthazar called it, his brothers and sisters, was a good idea. He didn't think they'd appreciate it, but Balthazar said that, that was the the point of a 'prank'. Sighing, he stopped arguing and sat patiently for someone to walk beneath the branch, they were waiting on. Finally, Anael walked under them and Balthazar dropped one of the sap bombs on her head. Castiel was worried they had upset their sister, until she started laughing.

"Good one, Balthy!" She called, from below. Eventually, the boys had managed to get all of their siblings at least once, not all of them took it as well as Anael, however they quickly made there own sticky leaves and were attacking anything that moved. Castiel still had one left, but instead of getting one of the fledglings in the woods, he snuck away. Balthazar noticed Castiel leaving and for a moment, he thought their brother had, had enough, but changed his mind, when he spotted the leaf in his hand. Figuring out Castiels plan, he swiftly catched up to his brother, to watch the plot play out.

Castiel cautiously, approached the unmoving figure from behind. He paused doubtfully, until Balthazar gave him an encouraging shove. Slowly, he raised his arm, carefully aiming the sticky mess. He took a second to steel his nerves, preparing himself for what was to come. He let loose the projectile, already turning and sprinting towards the tree atop the hill, where Balthazar was rolling on the floor with laughter. He hadn't waited around to see if or where it hit, but a cry of rage seconds later gave him a clue.

Gabriel sighed in content, it was a beautiful day, Castiel was off playing with the other fledglings. He was almost certain nothing could ruin his day. Almost. Suddenly, he was blinded, as something hit him in the head. Startled, he sat up, frantically waving his arms around to get his bearings. He reached and peeled the foreign object off his face, throwing it to the side. He wiped the sticky stuff from his eyes, was this tree sap? He could hear laughter coming from above him, and spun to look for the perpetrator. Bleary eyed, the archangel could make out a pair of light charcoal wings, he should have known.

"BALTHAZAR!" He cried in anger, flying towards the laughing prankster.

As he grew closer, he could see that Balthazar was also covered in the substance. Gabriel landed with a thump, next to his younger brother, who noticing the elders mood, quickly rushed to defend himself.

"I swear it wasn't me!" he claimed, struggling to keep the smile off his face.

"Yeah I'm sure." Gabriel said, unconvinced,

"It really wasn't, tell him Cas!" Balthazar exclaimed, Gabriel looked up to find a guilty looking Castiel. There was no way - not his, overly serious, fledgling. The archangel gaped in shock for a minute, before Gabriel laughed, taking in the state of his brother. Castiel looked as if someone had coated him in glue, before dragging him through a hedge backwards, which was essentially what happened. It didn't take long for Gabriels intial suprise to wear off, and he quickly summoned his own ammo, to attack the boys with.

"This means war!" He shouted, before releasing his rath upon the fledglings.

In hindsight, Gabriel realised that, completely covering his fledgling in tree sap, was not the brightest idea, considering he had clean the angel up afterwards. Unfortunately, he couldn't just snap his fingers, to clean them both either. They just had to use the tree sap from one of Joshuas special oaks, that were protected so they could not be affected, even by an archangels power. They both knew what this meant.

"Bath time!"
