003: Forgiveness

Word Count:

"Castiel, please." His voice was pleading, wanting the other to listen.

A frown had appeared on Castiel's lips. He was silent for a moment, studying Gabriel and his movements. "Why should I?" His voice was sharp.

Gabriel flinched at the words, drawing his hand away quickly. "I don't expect you to forgive me, but I still have to ask."

Castiel looked away from him, not saying anything. What did one say to that? He nodded his head, drawing in a deep breath. "Right," he muttered under his breath.

"So, I'm going to ask while not expecting it."

There was a long pause before Castiel spoke. "Thank you. That's all I wanted to hear."
