Summary: Balthazar comforts Castiel and assures him that it not his fault. Continuation from previous chapter.
Rating: T
Balthazar looked around outside and saw Castiel was sitting in the park, watching the ducks. He thinks it funny that Castiel gets enraptured by the smallest thing on earth, but he supposes that part of his charm. He then sighed and walked over to the younger angel, who stood up and looked at him with a smile.
"Hello, Balthazar." He said.
"Hello, Cassie."
Castiel then tilted his head and looked at Balthazar in confusion.
"Balthazar, is something wrong?"
Balthazar let out a deep breath and took one of Castiel's hands in his own. He really didn't want to have this conversation, but he pressed on.
"Cassie…Dean told me about your nightmare."
Castiels eyes widen and he then looked down in shame.
"I'm so-"
"No, Castiel!"
Castiel looked at Balthazar in surprise, both from his tone and the use of his full name. But the blonde angel just held his hand tighter.
"Cassie, I never blamed you.
"But, I…"
"Cas, you weren't yourself."
"But I shouldn't have done that. I should have trusted you more and the Winchesters!" Castiel yelled, hysteria welling up in his chest. "All I knew was that you betrayed me and I was so angry! You only tried to help me and I-I…"
"Castiel." Balthazar said mournfully as he reached over and took Castiel into an embrace. Castiel held him tightly, as though he would fade away.
"Cassie, you weren't yourself. Yes, you made a devastating mistake. But I'm here right now, Castiel and I never once blamed you."
Castiel let out a watery gasp and held on tightly to his brother. His hand then eaned against Balthazars chest, over his heart where he thrust his blade through.
"I'm sorry." He whispered.
Another hand took his and held it tightly.
"I know."
AN: Phew, here is sequel from the last chapter, with just Cas and Balthazar. In my headcanon, I don't think Balthazar would blame Cas because he knows how desperate Cas was and he wasn't really himself. Beside, the after-effects of everything were punishment enough.
Enjoy and comments are loved! I don't own SPN!
