The Devil's Bride.
Chapter Two.
The devil turns from the railing and nods to Crowley who vanishes heading down to oversee the throne being bought up to the throne room.
"Thank you all for welcoming My Consort so warmly, I shall not forget it" shouts the devil.
All of hell cheers.
He waits for them to settle again before saying "Now back to work you bitches…bring me souls" with a grin.
Another round of cheering and the demons slowly disperse as the devil and his consort go back inside with his team.
"That went well" says Alistair.
"Of course it did they all love our Lord" grins Lilith.
"Not as much as I do" stated Cas.
Lilith bows to him "Of course not Consort…no one could love our Lord the way you do".
Castiel grins at her…he likes her even more after that statement.
"Ruby go help Crowley, the rest of you with us…keep them at a distance I don't want any of them too close to Cas just yet" said the devil.
"Yes, my Lord" said Ruby before she vanished.
"Consider it done boss" said Tom.
He turns to find Cas, head slightly tilted looking at him questioningly.
"I'm going to take you on a tour of hell, the demons will want to fawn over you, some may even forget themselves and get too close to you…I can't allow that til your full consort" said Dean.
Cas just nods, trusting his husband completely.
'How much do you trust Lilith?' thought Cas.
'A lot. Why?' the devil thought back.
'I get the feeling I may need a personal guard but Tom's your second and out of the rest of your team I like her…she can be a companion of sorts. Is there a term for that…lady in waiting or something?' Cas thought.
The devil chuckled.
'Fuck I love you…your going to be a brilliant Consort baby. You already think like a full consort' thought Dean with a grin.
'I keep telling you…fuck the rules, as far as I'm concerned I am full Consort' thought Cas.
He couldn't help it, he pulls Cas into his arms and kisses him deeply.
"Tommy, your with me. Lil you stick to Cas like glue, the rest of you crowd control" said Dean.
His demons nod as they say "Yes, my Lord" in unison.
The devil offers his consort his arm, saying "Shall we…gorgeous".
"Show me our realm, love" replies Cas as he takes Dean's arm.
'He's gonna be a great Consort' thought Lilith as she fell into step beside Cas.
"Where to first boss?" asks Tom.
"I was thinking worst first and move up to the better parts of hell" replied Dean.
Tom looked shocked "You can't take The Consort into the lower levels".
"No, not yet. I meant Al's lair" replied Dean.
"Oh" said Tom somewhat relieved.
"Why can't I see the lower level's?" asked Cas.
"The lower we go the more toxic it gets…not even the amulet would help you down there baby" replied Dean.
"So what's Al's lair?" asked Cas.
"It's where Alistair does his best work" replies Lilith grinning.
"Oh, I see…are you working on anything at the moment Alistair?" asked The Consort.
"I'm always working on something, Consort" replied Al with a malicious grin.
The devil waits…expecting a shudder or some sign of repulsion from his husband but to his surprise Cas simply laughed and said "Of course you are".
'Fucking love this man' thought the devil with a grin.
They wander through hell, demons calling out to them as they go…words of welcome and adoration. Some try to approach them but are dissuaded by his team.
They make their way through hell and down to Al's lair to start the tour.
On Earth…
Gabriel paces, bored and lonely. He understands why he couldn't go with them today but that doesn't mean he has to like it. He misses Tommy even though he's only been gone a few hours.
'Fuck…I've got it bad' he thinks as he paces.
The phone rings in his office and he considers ignoring it then sighs and picks it up. Maybe business will distract him…yeah sure. Even making money has lost it's appeal for him…his mind turning to thoughts of his fiancée every chance it got. He is grinning now as he remembers the look on Cas's face when he flashed the engagement ring shortly after his best friend got home from his honeymoon.
Cas had gasped, his face lighting up with joy for his friend.
"Oh Gabe…it's beautiful. Congratulations…I'm so happy for you" enthused Cas.
"It is, isn't it. We picked it out together" grinned Gabe.
"How did he propose?" asked Cas, wanting all the details.
Gabriel blushes "Right there in the store Cas…I picked the ring and he just got down on his knee in front of the whole store and asked me to marry him…I swear the salesgirl almost died of embarrassment" grinned Gabe.
"That's so romantic Gabe…does this mean you'll be joining us in hell?" said Cas.
"I dunno…we haven't talked about that yet" replied Gabe.
"Oh…do you want too?" asked Cas.
"I'm not sure Cas. It'll be different for me…I'm not special like you" replied Gabriel solemnly.
His best friend frowns "Gabriel, your like my brother…if you want to join Tom in hell when you die I will speak to Dean and we will sort something out…you won't be just another damned soul, not while I'm Consort".
"Thanks Cas…even dead, I'd hate to be without Tommy" replied Gabe.
"You won't be…I promise you that" said Cas as he hugged his friend tight.
In hell…
Castiel wrinkles his nose as the stench of blood an bile assaults his senses. He sighs thinking he'll have to get used such things if he is to be a true consort. To his surprise the smell is worse than the things he's seeing…bodies hung in various states, souls strapped to racks and being tortured. On one rack he notices a man half skinned but still conscious and frowns.
'This is hell' he thinks.
"So this is Al's lair…pretty nasty I know but necessary" says the devil.
"Why is it necessary?" asks Cas.
"Some demons, some souls need training…keeping in line and Alistair is the expert in that" replies Dean.
"So I see" says Cas as he looks around.
"We can move on if this is upsetting you, baby" says the devil.
Cas raises an eyebrow and replies "Why would this upset the devil's consort…they are getting what they need or deserve, aren't they?".
"Oh yes, Consort they most definitely are" grins Al proudly.
Determined to show himself worthy of Dean, Castiel says "Give me a demonstration Alistair".
The devil is stunned…then quickly moves to being damn proud of his husband.
"As you please Consort…it would be an honour" grins Alistair as he moves over to a soul chained to the wall.
'Are you sure about this, love?' thought the devil.
'Yes…I am Dean' Cas thinks back before turning his full attention to the master of torture.
"This sorry piece of shit keeps trying to get out of hell" says Al as he reaches into the soul.
A shrill scream escapes it and it trembles.
"Doesn't know it's place but I'll teach it" grins the demon as he twists something inside the soul making it howl in agony.
He wants to flinch at the sound but doesn't by sheer will alone.
'This might be harder to get used too' he thinks as Alistair shows off his skill.
