Sorry I've only got 1 chapter for you, I hit a writers block while I was away and struggled to get this much done so I hope the chapters alright.
I've tried to think about what the writers have said about Cas learning to be human and this chapter's the first glimpse at Castiel dealing with that.
a quick mention to more-profound-bond (this fics only reviewer at the moment) thank you to her an you guys should take a look at her (Destiel) fics 'dear diary' and 'be with me' they're awesome :)
happy reading everyone xx
Dean paced back and forth across the room. Looking over at the door every minute as though expecting an army to come charging in, which of course, it didn't.
'Will you sit down, you're making me tired just watching you.' Gabriel complained propping his legs up on the table.
Dean bit back a retort, 'what exactly are we supposed to do?'
Gabriel shrugged, 'read a book'
Sam snorted. Dean shot him an indignant look and Gabriel chuckled.
'Hey, I've read stuff.' Dean protested.
'Okay name something you've read that wasn't research.'
Dean opened his mouth and Sam added. 'Those magazines don't count.'
Dean, closed his mouth again, thinking hard 'um...I read that one about the lawyer and his kids. Boo Radley something...'
'You actually read To kill a Mockingbird?' Sam said surprised.
'Yeah that's the one. No need to sound so shocked Sammy' Dean said, a smug expression on his face.
'Fine, I'll give you that one.'
'I thought you said you'd only seen the movie?' Cas said suddenly, Dean had almost forgotten he was there, Dean turned to look at him.
'No I didn't.' Dean said with a pointed look.
'Yes you did, you told me not to tell anyone...oh.' Cas trailed off with a sheepish look.
Sam and Gabriel were laughing and Dean flipped them off, looking around to see Cassie, but when he did his expression changed into one of concern when he saw how pale she was. Neither looked top steady on their feel now he thought about it.
'Damn' Dean cursed himself.
'What's wrong Dean' Sam asked still laughing when he noticed the shift on Dean's features.
'It's late' Dean said.
'It's not that...'
'It is for someone who's not used to sleeping.' He snapped nodding towards Cassie.
'I'm okay.' She said quietly, swaying slightly.
'How long has it been since you slept?'
Cas looked at him a little confused. 'Sleep?'
Dean stared. 'You mean you haven't slept at all?' They shook their head.
'But that's gotta be what, 72 hours! you've been walking around for three days without stopping, tell me you've eaten at least?'
There was a silence.
'What the Hell man!' Dean said to Cas, 'You're not an angel anymore, you're human, and humans need to recharge their batteries alright? Because newsflash. You. Can. Die!'
'We know.' Cas said seeming completely unfazed, which made Dean more irritated.
'Well it doesn't seem like it.'
'Hey, Dean...' Sam started.
'No Sam, we have to teach them to protect themselves but they need to be able to look after themselves first else the training will kill them before anyone can get in a swipe.
Sometime during this, Cassie had sat down on the sofa and had drifted off. Dean sighed 'Never mind, first thing in the morning, Human 101, but for now, Sam find a room for Cas, I'll sort sleeping beauty here out.' He said gesturing to Cassie.
Sam nodded and Cas followed him from the room.
Dean scooped Cassie up in his arms, cradling her to his chest and he carried her to the first spare room.
Gently lying her on the bed atop of the duvet, Dean paused, unsure. Finally he draped a blanket over the sleeping girl and went to leave when a sleepy voice called 'Dean?'
He turned to her, Cassie's eyes were fighting to stay open,
'Thank you' she murmured then gave in to sleep once more.
Dean left the room, closing the door behind him quietly, smiling to himself.
'What are you smiling about?' Sam asked when Dean returned, Dean shook his head. 'Nothing.'
I know there was a To Kill a Mockingbird reference in Supernatural already (8x20) Dean says 'Who invited Boo Radley' but i wanted to put it in properly because Dean could have heard that from anywhere it doesn't necessarily mean he read it, or watched it for that matter (good book by the way if you haven't read it :D)
anyways hope you enjoyed the chapter :) xx
