Prompt: Jimmy(Castiel's vessel)/Nick(Lucifer's first vessel), they've met before
Mrs. Thompson's fifth grade homeroom. Nick was the class clown, always making jokes and getting everyone completely off-topic. Jimmy was the suckup with the right answers, who helped Mrs. Thompson take roll and grade papers.
Then again, ninth grade, sixth period PE. Nick excelled at always always hitting Jimmy in dodgeball. It evened out, though, because Jimmy always always caught what should have been Nick's homeruns during baseball.
Junior year, Nick left prom with Jimmy's date. Jimmy escorted Nick's ex-girlfriend home. Both of them got lucky that night.
And then senior year… well. After Jimmy found religion, he tried not to think about the second semester of senior year, when he almost ruined his GPA. (He doesn't like to admit it, especially when he's being ridden by an angel, but Nick still was the best kisser he'd ever swapped spit with.)
They went to college on opposite ends of the country. Both got married and had kids. Neither of those things ended well.
So, yeah. Locked in a ring of holy angel-trapping fire, staring at Lucifer… he knows that face. Jimmy is dead, ripped apart by an archangel, but Castiel still has this vessel's memories, and Jimmy knows the face of Lucifer's vessel.
But Lucifer doesn't acknowledge their vessels' connections, and Castiel has far more important things to worry about than that Nick used to take Jimmy on joyrides in his dad's camero when they should have been sketching still lifes in art class.
