Prompt: Castiel, "Endless Night" (from the Lion King the Musical).
He watches the stars now, whenever he rests, from valleys and mountain tops, at the sea shore and the middle of a desert night.
He can name them all, using their true Creator-given title. He can close his eyes and remember their births, when God wove them from Himself and spread them amongst the cosmos.
Father, he calls into the night, straining with everything he has to hear an answer. Father!
Sometimes he stays out all night, and he lets the dawn warm him. Sometimes he leaves and goes to the Winchesters, stands guard to let them sleep. Sometimes, he quiets their sleep and wishes that someone would quiet his mind.
