I hear your whispers
Break the silence
And it calms me down
Taste on my lips
Your salty kisses

They say I'm seeking out the danger
That one day you will let me go

He knows it's not right, they tell him all the time, but he keeps coming back for more.

The nights are too full of passion, too intense; he can't just let it go.

This is why he sits in the car waiting night after night, waiting for John.

John, who will never take him along

John, who always calls him 'kid'

John, who keeps insisting he's not a slave

But he is, he's a slave for John, and always will be.

I need you Aquarius
And try to learn
We'll have to stay
I feel you Aquarius
Cause you don't see,
Set me free
You call to me Aquarius

I relinquish
To your powers
From your grasp
I just can't hide

No one would suspect it really, they all think it's just Hero-Worship, and perhaps that's what it is, to some extent.

It started out as just that.

John was his hero
His Idol

He can't decided when it was that he stopped wanting to BE John and started to want to be WITH John.

He just knows it happened, and that he can't ignore it.

Mr. Danger
I had to conquer
You made me feel alive

He doesn't remember when it was that John actually acknowledged this fact, but he remembers how everything changed, the nights.

Not the days
At days he was just the little apprentice, the young wannabe…the slave…they had no idea.

John always wanted to protect him, he understands that now, he didn't then…it made him mad, pissed at the fact that John didn't trust him with this.

Too important to risk 'the Kid' screwing it up.

As much as he pleaded, begged, even blackmailed

John would never let him go.

Only now he knows why.

He truly wishes he'd realized sooner.

It might have changed the ending.

They say I have to be aware
That one day you will let me go

Even though Chas was completely hooked on John, he always worried if John would let him go if someone else came along

This is why Chas never really liked Angela.

Angela was his replacement, at least that's what it felt like to Chas.

Angela got involved, she had the sight.

He hated her for it.

But anytime he asked John about it he always said the same thing

"Of course she's not, Chas"

But he was lying and Chas knew that.

That is why he had to try harder

That is why he followed John to his fateful showdown, even though if it was to save Angela.

Chas always loved him.

But that is not why Chas died for John Constantine.

I love you Aquarius
I need to be with you again
I feel you Aquarius
My destiny 'till the end

That is why Chas Kramer came back.

That is why he is now an Angel

John's Angel

Even though John may never realize it.


and there you go, my first Chastine, uhmm...yay
