Castiel looked down over the earth, watching as the humans went on with their life. He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and looked to the left to see Anael was now standing next to him, watching the earth with him.
"Humans are so fascinating." Anael said. "Their capacity for love and affection surpasses most being's..." She said to him.
Castiel looked at her for a few more moment's and then turned his head back towards the human populace trying to see it, though he thought humans were amazing creatures...they they seemed more likely to kill and maim to him, though over the years he had seen some humans who had a very large capacity for love, and who in his eyes redeemed the faults of the others of their race. "I can see that in some of them...but not all like you can Anael..." Castiel told her.
"That's because you only look at the surface Castiel, you need to look past their major actions to what's in their heart, which you can see by the small things they do each day. Like a noble men giving a poor child food or a few unneeded coins, or a person who has the chance to take the easy way out even though it's the wrong path. But chose the good path, even though they know the hardships they'll face." Anael told him.
Castiel was silent as he thought over her words, Anael always seemed to have a great understanding of human emotions, then again she was the angel of love so he guessed it was to be expected. He admired her for her ability to see the good in all humans, and her want to protect them. He thought it was wonderful to know what your purpose was like she did...but him he didn't know what he wanted to do with his existence well waiting on orders...he didn't know what his purpose was like she did, though he had learned one thing over the years. He didn't like the thought that their destiny's might one day pull them apart because of her knowing her cause and him being unsure...he'd been contemplating something for a while now and he wasn't sure why it decided to come out now but it was almost like his mouth moved on his own and the question just came tumbling out. "Anael...will you be my mate?" He asked and then quickly blanked his face as he realized what he had just asked, afraid of what she would say and think...he wasn't sure why he cared so much, and he didn't like this dependance he felt he had on her. How he never wanted to be away from her for to long.
Anael glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes to see if he was serious and then looked back towards earth with a slight smile on her face as her hand moved down from his shoulder to grip his hand. "Yes, I will Castiel." She told him.
