Chapter 14: The Demon on Your Shoulder

I got to the address that was given to me on the piece of paper putting my hands in my pockets walking along till I saw a park. I stopped seeing a familiar trench-coated man sitting down looking somber approaching him from behind.

"Hello Cassy." I said sitting beside him seeing him jump slightly looking over at me surprised saying, "You found me?"

I laughed lightly saying, "I had a little help from a sexy angel."

He gave me a strange look while I said, "Gabriel sacrificed himself to save us, it seemed he knew where you were this whole time… why were you here anyway?"

He looked down sighing, "I'm effectively mortal now."

My eyes widened turning towards him saying, "Seriously, is that why we couldn't find you?"

"Yes, the more time I've been here the more mortal I become which is why we need to end this and kill Lucifer." He said hearing his stomach growl for a moment making me laugh saying, "Come on Cassy let's get that mortal body some food and rest."

I got some take out for Castiel and rented us a hotel room so he could get some rest watching him eat his food hungrily hearing him make noises of happiness. He wasn't completely mortal yet but he still needed to eat, sleep and well, let out bodily fluids. I now sat watching the television seeing all the chaos as I heard the shower going signifying he was getting clean.

After about an hour I heard the water turn off hearing the bathroom door open seeing steam rush out looking up as my eyes almost bulged out of my skull. Castiel stood holding a towel around his waist looking around meekly not meeting my eyes.

"My clothes are dirty what should I do?" he said unsure making me laugh standing up replying, "There are a washer and dryer a few doors down wait here."

I grabbed his clothes putting them in the washer taking a deep breath leaning against the washer closing my eyes. Images of Castiel coming out wet from his shower invaded my mind as I remembered it wasn't right. Sure Gabriel had been a different story but this was Castiel… the virgin angel wonder, it was tempting but I needed to not get attached and I was afraid I would.

Walking back to the hotel room I stiffened seeing him sitting on the bed still in the towel as I let an aggravated groan leave my lips.

"Where are my clothes?" he asked curiously while I replied, "They are washing then will need to dry."

"We should go after Dean and Sam." He said while I walked over to him leaning down in front of him saying, "You are in no shape to go to them now, you need rest and to recharge."

I saw him swallow hard as his eyes looked down at my chest then back to my face seeing him shift uncomfortably. I stood up slowly walking around the bed as his eyes followed mine until I sat down beside him seeing his hands tremble.

"You doing alright Cassy do you need anything?" I asked putting my hand on his worried feeling him tense up even more.

"Do you remember when I kissed you?" he said suddenly while I felt my lip twitch rolling my eyes saying, "How could I forget."

"My words were harsh to you and I apologize, learning about your life and all the terrible things you went through I had no right to assume you were a monster just like other demons." He said making me frown replying, "But I am still a demon."

"You're more than that Evelyn there is still goodness in you, it was why I trusted you, I can see it in your soul." He said while I went to stand saying, "It doesn't matter, I'm a damned soul no matter what you think."

I felt him grab my hand standing up still looking at my eyes letting out a shaky sigh hearing his towel fall. My eyes averted down clearing my throat seeing his apparent arousal held it up making him look down embarrassed.

"My apologies this body has been reacting on its own the more human I become and I can't control it." He said worried that I was angry making me laugh saying, "Get under the blankets I'm going to put your clothes in the dryer."

I walked out of the room again seeing him slide under the covers quickly so I wouldn't see anything as I shakily put his clothes into the dryer. I looked at my reflection as my eyes shifted black frowning at it, I did want to be good I really did. Some silly parts of my brain thought maybe by finding God and helping them I could be forgiven but after hearing that he no longer wants to help I gave up that dream again. Part of me just wanted to walk away from them all, let them fend for themselves because either way, I would be dead after all this was finished or not. However, another small part of me didn't want to give up on them because I knew it was the right thing to do.

Once I got back to the room I saw Castiel shivering under the covers bundling himself up as I laughed walking over behind him as he said worried, "What are you doing?"

I pulled the covers up taking only a millisecond to stare at his ass before I lay behind him saying, "Relax Cassy your body needs to get warm and I don't mind being the big spoon."

I wrapped my arm around him scooting up against him as my forehead rested between his shoulder blades feeling his body stop shaking from the cold. It didn't take long before his breathing slowed down hearing light snores letting me know he'd fallen asleep as he pulled my arms tighter onto him. I snuggled closer into him letting out an uneasy sigh, none of this would turn out good in the end.
