Song 7: Evanescence - Enteral...
(This song was a request... It was kind of a challange but I think it turned out okay.)
Dean was looking out the window, watching the rain as it fell. He hadn't seen Castiel since he rebelled against heaven for them, Sam had passed out on the bed a few hours ago and was snoring, this was the reason Dean couldn't sleep. Suddenly there was a flutter of wings and Dean saw the angel reflected in the window.
"Cas" he smiled turning to face Castiel.
"Hello, Dean" Castiel's voice was plain but there was a slight hint of sorrow in his eyes.
"What's up?" Dean asked noticing the angels sad blue eyes.
"They lied to me" Castiel muttered taking a seat by the window.
"Who?"
"The angels" Castiel looked at the rain drops on the window.
"About what?" Dean sat next to Cas but spared Sam a glance to check he was still asleep.
"Everything, Dean" Castiel's voice cracked slightly. "They said that stopping the was right but they didn't mean it. They told me you and Sam were going to be okay. They told me everyone wanted paradise. They said -" Castiel was interrupted.
"They told you god wanted the end of the world" Dean added, "yeah well, angel's are just dicks with wings."
"I'm losing faith, Dean" Castiel mentioned finally taring his face from the window to meet Deans gaze.
"It's better to have a mind opened by wonder than one close by belief" the hunter said failing to look anywhere but the blue eyes opposite him.
"Unless your an angel" Castiel corrected him. They sat in silence for a few minutes. Like they usually do they just stared into each others eyes, blinking on the odd occasion.
"So, what do you do now?" Dean asked finally turning his eyes back to the rain outside the motel room.
"Try to stop Lucifer" Castiel answered flicking his eyes to the dusty floor.
"So, you'll help us?" Dean asked looking back at Castiel,
"What else do you think I should do? You saved me from myself, I owe Sam and you a lot. And I'm not too keen on the idea of the human race dying out. Heavens crowed enough already"
"Did you just, try to make a joke?" Dean asked unsure of wether not laughing was the right thing to do.
"No. Why? Was that funny?" Castiel wondered,
"Its was good for an angel" Dean shrugged looking out the window again. Castiel chuckled a little but only because he knew he should by Dean's facial expression.
"What made you want to help us anyway?" Dean asked when he relised it was something they'd never discussed.
"I looked into myself and I looked at the other angels and I - I didn't like what I saw. I didn't like what we was doing, what was going to happen, the fact they forced me into things. I remembered you and Sam, and how you guys have been with me. The fact that you ask me to do things rather than tell me. It was nice to have that, plus Lucifer is still the winey brat he always was if he still wants to kill all humanity" Cas answered. It seemed like he had thought long and hard about his answer for days before saying it but he hadn't.
"So, Lucifer needs more time in the time out box?" Dean added with a shrug.
"Yes" Castiel said. "Thank you Dean."
"For what?"
"Everything, nothing. I don't know" Castiel looked away shyly.
"I should be thanking you. You save me from hell, you saved me from Alister, you rebelled against heaven for me and Sam. You, you've done a lot for us. And we've been questioning your motives, your actions, your trust, your faith. Your - everything, man. So thank you, Cas" Dean corrected the angel and unknowingly placed his hands over the other the angel had folded on the table. "If you are ever lost, need help with anything. No matter where I am, what I'm doing, just ask. That's all you gotta do. Ask. You can ask me, you can ask Sam. You can even ask Bobby."
"Thank you Dean." Castiel's mouth curled into a small smile as he turned his eyes back to the window.
