I blinked my eyes open and yelped when I saw a face leaning over mine. I scrambled back so I could see who it was. Of course it was Castiel.

"Holy crap Castiel! Don't do that!" I said rubbing my face. I was not awake enough for this just yet.

"Oh yes, sorry. Personal space," he said moving back a bit. I shook my head at him with a smile.

"You're fine Cas, just next time, don't be that close."

Castiel nodded his head, "I believe Lulu is making something for dinner right now if you are hungry."

I smiled at him and got out of bed.

"Sounds good. Let's go get some food then. Once I get some food, I'll unscramble my translation," I said.

We walked to the kitchen and found Lulu was indeed making something for dinner. I plopped down at the island and smiled at her when she turned around.

"I wanted something deep-fried and not healthy," she said. I just grinned at her some more.

"Of course. We wouldn't want to deny them anything," I said cheekily. Castiel scrunched up his face in confusion.

"Them? There is only one," he said. I just kind of looked at him.

"It was me trying to be sneaky Cas. I wanted to see if you knew or not," I said.

"I am an Angel of the Lord. Of course I know," he responded back. I gave him a playful glare.

"You know, that excuse is only going to work so many times," I told him picking up some silverware for us. "Thank you Lulu," I said when she set food for me as well. Castiel just looked at me without commenting. Lulu must have seen his face because she started laughing.

"As long as you don't say anything to Sam and Dean. I don't want them to know yet," Lulu said. Castiel tilted his head at her which made me smile.

"I won't tell them," Castiel replied.

"Thanks Cas. Now what do we do while the boys are gone?" Lulu asked.

"We could…." I paused as I tried to think of something.

"Well… how about… we could watch movies I guess. I still have to unscramble the translations but that doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Yeah I really have no idea," I finally said.

"Sure. We have it, it's not going anywhere. Can't really do anything until they're back. Besides we need a break," she

"Okay. Well I will get at least some of it making sense and then I will join you and we can just chill," I said moving back to the table and grabbing my translations. I snagged my pencil and started to try and have these sentences make sense.

"I'll be in the Netflix room," Lulu said as she walked off. I waved my hand at her and got to work. Castiel just sat there at the island the whole time I translated.

I made it halfway before I called it quits. Castiel was still just sitting there and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Come on you, let's go join Lulu," I said grabbing his wrist.

Castiel let himself be pulled off the chair and down the hallway. We found Lulu watching some chick-flick movie. I plopped Castiel down on the couch. He went with it but I could tell he was confused. I decided to be brave and I sat down right next to him.

I had never done this, sat by a guy that wasn't family on my own so this was something new for me. Lulu gave me a look when I sat down next to Castiel but I pretended not to notice. She could tease me about it later, preferably when said angel was not here.

We watched a few movies ranging from action to romance to horror. The later I absolutely refused to watch last and demanded we watch My Little Pony afterwards. I already had my stupid premonitions, I didn't need to add horror movie nightmares to my sleep.

Throughout the night, I moved so I was leaning against Castiel more. He just shifted a bit and moved so we were both more comfortable near the end when I was half laying down, half sitting/leaning against Castiel. It was weird but it was what happened.

We finished the last movie just as we were all falling asleep… minus Castiel of course. Because angels don't sleep. I have the theory that they can they just don't want to. They are soldiers after all and sleeping equals weak. My theory anyway and I'm wrong about half the time.

"Ok, I'm tired. Night," Lulu said getting up.

"Night," I mumbled back. She had really good idea, I think I might do that as well… in a second. Lulu left for bed and I settled a bit before Castiel moved.

"I think you would like it better in a bed than you would here on the couch," he said helping me up. I pouted as I lost my warm pillow.

"Yeah, alright Cas," I said letting him lead me to my room. I could have gotten there on my own but it was fun and honestly I enjoyed having Castiel caring. It made me blush when I thought about it but I quickly tempered it down before he could see it.

Castiel left after we reached my room. He said there was something he had to do and was gone. I just shrugged but was a little sad he had to leave. I shook my head. What am I doing? It's not like we were dating but I was thinking like we were. Wow was I really starting to lose it. I slipped into some pajamas and was then out.

"Hello darling," were the first words I heard waking up. 'Fantastic' I thought as I finished waking myself up. I opened my eyes and gave Crowley a glare.

"Dude, could whatever you want not wait until I woke up on my own?" I sassed. Crowley just grinned at me.

"Well it could, I just didn't want it to," he replied. I sighed and threw my pillow at him.

"Hey!" Crowley exclaimed, acting like he was hurt.

I just rolled my eyes at the drama queen and got out of bed. I grabbed that day's clothes and went into the bathroom to change. I was so not changing in the room with someone else. Once I was ready, I stepped out and found Crowley sitting on my bed just looking around my room. I sighed at the thing that was now my life.

I left Crowley in my room and went to the library table. I put the book and my translations in the Book Box and locked the box. I put the key in my back pant's pocket and turned around to come face-to-face to Crowley.

"Did you not get the same talk as Castiel? Personal space," I said pushing Crowley back. I knew he let me when he moved but I really didn't care.

"That doesn't apply to me darling. I'm the King of Hell remember?"

I snorted.

"I remember. Do you remember that I don't really care?" I sassed back.

Crowley gasped at me dramatically and I rolled my eyes. I made my way to the kitchen and decided to make breakfast burritos for me and Lulu. Of course I was going to add a few things I didn't usually for the little Winchester but no one had to know about it.

"Why do you insist on staying around here? Isn't it boring?" Crowle asked me. I took a breath before I answered. Wow can the King of Hell really be annoying.

"Because it is my home now. Thanks to your little followers I was pretty much chased from my school which right now I'm okay with. That and my family is here," I answered putting the last of the food on. Crowley was quiet for a bit.

"I didn't have anyone sent after you… Anyway how are these morons your family? You are way smarter than they are and more practical not to mention much more entertaining," he said.

I gave him a raised eyebrow.

"First, I am nowhere near as smart as these guys I just happen to good at certain things that are helpful. Second, I'm glad you find me entertaining but that is not my purpose in life. Lastly, if I hear you talking bad like that again about my family, King of Hell or not, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life, not mine, yours," I said before going back to making breakfast. I totally missed his flabbergasted expression but I didn't miss the stretch of silence.

"Why so red Crowley?" Lulu asked. I turned and looked at her, catching a glance of Crowley's red face and smirked.

"No reason other than I may have handed him back his soul and now he doesn't know what to do with it," I said smirking to myself and turned back to the food that was now almost done.

"What?! No!" Crowley exclaimed probably giving me a very dirty look but I didn't see it, could kind of feel it though.

"Really Crowley? Cause that's what it looks like; like you got your ass handed to ya," Lulu replied. I chuckled in response to that.

"And you all wonder why I don't like you," Crowley said sitting down at the island. I turned and flicked some pepper at him. He gave me a small glare in return that I saw no heat in.

"I'm starting to think that about you too," he said. I gave him a sweet smile.

"Oh Crowley, you couldn't hate me and you know it," I said turning back around with a plate of food for Lulu. I set it in front of her and gave her a wink.

"Thanks Emm," she said. I nodded.

I turned and picked up the salt and pepper shakers that looked the exact same. Then I walked over and dumped one on Crowley. He saw me coming and tried to run thinking it was salt but didn't make it and got covered in pepper. I laughed at the astonished look on his face. I continued to laugh as I got my own food and joined Lulu.

"Hey Lulu, have you heard anything from the boys?" I asked.

"Yeah, Sam texted me and said they'd be back within the day or really, really early in the morning," she said. I gathered up our plates and began to clean up.

"That's good. We can get working on the Mark and then we can breath for a while. I actually kind of want to finish my grad paper I had started. It won't be for credit or anything but I would at least like to finish it," I said distractedly as I washed the plates in the sink. Lulu grabbed a towel and dried them once I was finished cleaning them.

"It would be nice to finally have a break," she said. I nodded my head as I handed her a plate. It would be nice.

"How far did you get on the spell?" She asked.

"About halfway. I figured since the boys wouldn't be back for a while, I would space it out. Now though I'm thinking what I will do is work on it after I finish cleaning up," I said handing her another plate.

"Okie dokie."

I smiled at Lulu. Her and the lines she picked up.

"If you are going to be looking at the book, what am I supposed to do?" Crowley asked. I looked over my shoulder at him. I had forgotten he was there for a minute.

"Perhaps getting anything the spell requires?" Lulu suggested. Crowley smirked.

"I thought your guys' angel boy toy was doing that?"

I tilted my head confused at Crowley. Castiel was a boy toy? To whom? He was a freaking angel, wouldn't the demon be the boy toy? Wow thinking about this was kind of gross and giving me a headache. I am so leaving that alone and not touching it again, not even with a ten foot pole.

"Um my boy toy is Dean. So there," Lulu sassed. Okay yeah this was not a strange conversation to have with a demon. Then again maybe it is…

"Okay, well I don't got a boy toy so I'm going to go back to the book now," I said slipping away. Well I tried to anyway.

"Oh please. I'm thinking Sam has a thing for you," Lulu said. I looked back at her.

I wrinkled my nose at her. Sam was good looking yes but we had discussed this to an extent.

"Ah, I don't think so. You think if he did he was tell me that he saw me as sister? I'm pretty sure that is the opposite of him being my boy toy," I said. Well, then again he did act funny sometimes but how was I supposed to know? I had only ever had Lulu really.

"Damnit, my awkward mouth... I didn't know he said that," she said. I shrugged.

"I know, he said it when you and Dean went on your little vacation. I don't mind really. It's fun though to pretend sometimes like that time at the bar when those two numbskulls showed up. It's… reassuring."

"Sam's good like that. He hasn't been the same since Jessica… and every other girl he's hooked up with or something… when Dean went to Purgatory we kinda went our separate ways," Lulu said. I paused as I thought about that. I guess it was tough when you lived this life. Honestly Dean and Lulu were lucky. I just wish Sam could find that too, he deserved it.

"Well… he'd be great. You know, I think maybe in another life or something, I would date him," I said thoughtfully. It was true when I thought about it. Heck, if I had met him before I got back in this life I would have dated him.

"Yeah, we've been through a lot," Lulu shrugged. I nodded my head in understanding. I may not have been here when most of the stuff went down but I could relate. There was a flutter of wings and Castiel was back. He glared at Crowley again before moving over to me. I gave him a raised eyebrow but he didn't explain anything.

"Well it looks like feathers is here. I'll be off then," Crowley said and then he was gone. I shook my head. This was just weird and yet now it was my life.

"We've got to make it so they just can't come and go, particularly Crowley. It's creepy," Lulu said. I shrugged.

"I don't find it creepy as much as I do annoying. It's kind of entertaining too though. When he just pops in I can tease him without mercy. It's fun," I said.

"It's both then," she smirked. She was right.

"Probably," I said. I moved to go back to the book and Castiel moved with me. I frowned at him and tried to go around him but he just mirrored me.

"Ah, Cas, can I go to the table?" I asked. Castiel tilted his head at me.

"Yes."

I squinted at him for a bit before I moved. He followed me. I threw my hands in the air. This was ridiculous! It was like he was a puppy or something.

"Stop dancing you two," Lulu laughed. I stopped moving and looked over at her.

"We are not dancing," Castiel deadpanned.

"Duh Cas, just let her by," Lulu said.

Castiel did his head tilt but stepped to the side. I slipped by him only for him to follow behind me now. I just sighed at let him. There was no stopping him I was just curious as to why he was doing it.

"I'm gonna go back to bed, nothing much to do until the boys get back," Lulu said.

"M'kay," I replied.

"Wake me for anything."

I waved my hand at her and smiled saying I would. I sat down at the table and pulled out my translations and began unscrambling words. I was happy to translate from another language but unscrambling words, not so much. Castiel moved a chair and sat down as close to me as he could without being in the way. I just worked with him the best I could. I wasn't going to argue with him.
