Chapter 8: What We Crave

After a few more hours I heard a groan from the bed seeing Castiel moving around as I walked over to him frowning, "You shouldn't move yet."

"Dean and Sam need me." He said making me frown saying, "They are okay, you should worry about yourself too."

"You're hurt." He said seeing where I was stabbed but I shrugged saying, "Tis but a scratch."

He groaned lying his head back down as I said, "You'll be happy to know it was a demon and not an angel though."

"That brings little comfort." He said with his eyes closed while I smiled feeling a strange sensation groaning as my body was again transported.

I stood still holding onto Castiel with Sam and Dean beside me as Castiel fell onto the bed behind him while I looked towards the others giving them a goofy smile, "So you guys are still alive, does that mean it worked?"

They began telling me what happened while I told them about the demon I killed air punching with enthusiasm. I assured them I would look after Castiel until he was in full power again and this time they didn't see any reason not to believe me.

Within a few days, he was back to his normal self again doing his usual stare and watching anything I did if it seemed off. I eventually got some peace from him reporting any new news to Crowley which he seemed giddy about.

I was currently minding my own business with cucumbers over my eyes listening to relaxing music when I felt a flutter by my side frowning as I felt the cucumbers get taken from my eyes.

"Hey, Cassy what's up?" I said as he sighed saying, "It's Castiel, we have been summoned."

I went to say something but ended up in a morgue looking around with Dean still having the phone to his ear.

"Talk about your fast delivery." I said laughing seeing the boys look at me than to Castiel saying, "Do you know what these symbols are?"

He walked over to the body inspecting the heart as I giggled lightly seeing Dean and Sam look at me while I shrugged replying, "My Bloody Valentine… come on it's funny a little."

"These are the symbols of cupid, perhaps he's gone rogue and is murdering people." Castiel said as I tilted my head saying, "And you think we're the evil ones."

I saw Dean and Sam look towards me saying, "You are."

I huffed looking at the heart again before saying, "Well if I was cupid I'd be at a bar finding my next victim."

They nodded as we all got in the car driving to a local hot spot as the boys and I ordered food, sure I didn't need to eat but I could still taste it. I began munching on my burger happily feeling eyes on me as I shifted seeing Castiel staring towards me and the burger.

"Can I help you?" I asked feeling some of the juices go down my chin as he reached out making me freeze up wiping it off with his finger before putting it in his mouth.

"I'm uncomfortable." Dean said staring at us while Castiel shook his head saying, "Are you going to eat that Dean?"

Dean put his hands up as Castiel greedily took it from his hold making my eyebrow raise, this was new. We all sat in silence as I still felt eyes on me and my burger seeing Castiel staring but I shifted my eyes to Dean who was busy looking around the room. My eyes drifted to Sam seeing him look down in confusion making my eyes narrow, just what the hell was going on?

"He's here, meet me in the back." Castiel said suddenly disappearing as I sighed saying, "I'm going to put a bell on that one."

We all walked back seeing Castiel staring in a spot while he said, "I've got him in a hold not sure how long it will last."

My eyes shifted behind Dean seeing cupid hug him from behind watching the look of utter shock on his face making me giggle. He turned around showing he was completely naked as I continued to giggle while Castiel hugged him and then he went to Sam who was also visibly uncomfortable.

He looked at me stopping in his tracks saying, "Your face is ugly."

I pouted out my bottom lip as I said, "Well your everything is ugly pal."

He made a face turning to Castiel saying, "You brought a demon are you crazy?"

"Evelyn is safe company I assure you." Castiel said making me smile innocently while I said, "Though I could go without the na—"

Before I could finish he embraced me saying, "Any friend of Castiel's is a friend of mine."

"We aren't friends she's working with us." Castiel said making me wince at his words while cupid laughed asking what we needed.

"Why have you been murdering the people you target?" Dean said sternly seeing cupid's hurt expression saying, "I never hurt anyone all I do is mark them and leave."

He hugged Castiel sobbing while I bit back a laugh saying, "How do you know who to mark?"

He turned to me saying, "Well Heaven of course, and the union between Mary and John Winchester was a doozy in Heaven."

I turned my eyes to Dean seeing him get angry again as they talked but it led to arguing and cupid flying away clearly upset.

"Good job Dean you hurt Cupid's feelings, good luck falling in love now." I said with a snort but he rolled his eyes saying, "Bite me."

I laughed stepping closer saying, "Where and how hard?"

He went to speak but waved his hand as Sam followed after him feeling Castiel stand beside me saying with a sigh, "I could use a burger."

I ended up buying some food for Castiel since for some strange reason his vessel didn't have anything watching him munch happily on the burger while I stared at him. Dean and Sam had left the hotel to do more research so I was in charge of babysitting Mr. Eats-a-lot.

"How come you're so hungry all of a sudden?" I asked confused laying back on the bed feeling my feet dangle above me.

He stopped for a moment saying, "I'm unsure, this isn't normal."

I put my hands on my chin saying, "None of this seems all that normal I mean cupid and all that."

He made a face saying, "I would like to apologize about that."

I tilted my head waiting for him to continue as he took another bite saying, "For not calling you a friend, you have been more than accommodating to us and it was wrong not to think of you as such."

I felt myself frown for a moment at his words causing that weird feeling to muster in my chest again, seriously was this heartburn because it sucks.

"It's okay Cassy I get it, demons don't exactly get along with your kind but you don't have to pretend to be my friend." I said while he frowned looking at me with those sad deep blue eyes saying, "I am not pretending."

He walked closer to me as I sat up on the bed feeling my body tense again since he had gotten so close to my body. I searched his face feeling his eyes watching me intensely while I hesitantly put my hand up touching his cheek feeling him shudder under my touch. Cocking my eyebrow at his reaction I rubbed his slight stubble cheek with my thumb seeing his eyes closed for a moment.

I felt him lean closer to me as I felt frozen in place unsure what he was trying to do as my eyes shifted around uncomfortably.

You got me ringing Hell's Bells!

His eyes snapped to the side seeing my phone go off as I took a breath I didn't know I was holding grabbing the phone saying, "I'll be right back."
