37. Stars

Castiel supposed that the night sky was attractive enough. But after having viewed each one of the stars in the inky canvas above many times up close, he found it frustrating to be limited to looking at their distant specks from Earth.

"I don't understand," he said to Dean as they leaned against the Impala outside their motel room. "Why do humans find stars so beautiful? They are nothing more than tiny pinpricks of light…and by the time their light reaches this planet, they are already dead. You will never be able to reach the stars like you have the Moon and other planets."

"I dunno," Dean shrugged, his arm dragging over Castiel's. Castiel knew that a wise, philosophical comment was about to follow, something he found very funny since Dean hated 'nerdy' moments. "Maybe humans just want what they can't have."
