"So...Anything good on?"

Castiel didn't bother to look up when the body dropped down next to him at the table he was sitting at, he ignored them as he leaned forward to smack at the side of the television until the race of the Ants was knocked out and another film was rolling across the screen. They sighed in exasperation at his lack of response.

"Come on Cas! Talk to meeeee!"

"No."

Lucifer looked over at him once more at the petulant quick response, a wry grin spreading across his face. Though those Winchesters might not have been able to see it, Cas was better then a sassy teenager who had a comment for everything.

"What did you just say?"

"I said no."

This was different though, this wasn't sassy goodness, this was something else. Lucifer fell into silence and Castiel sighed in relief at his Brothers quietness as he turned his attention back to his television, trying to watch whatever was on. He was aware he was being closely watched by his older brother but until he actually did something, he had nothing to worry about. Lucifer himself was well aware that his little brother knew he was watching him, if Castiel was anything it wasn't stupid.

Now he may not be the most observant brother much anymore, but even he could tell that there was something going on here. Something he knew that Gabriel (Dad Bless him) would not like, and if that was so, then it was also something he wouldn't like either.

"How about a change in scenery?"

He snapped his fingers before any protests could be made to his declaration.

Castiel jumped backwards as he noticed his new dressing. Gone was his trench coat, his dress shirt, and slacks. In its place was a long sleeve sweatshirt, the sleeves reaching just passed his fingers. His pants went from being nice dress slacks, to flannel soft pajama pants. Black fuzzy socked feet kicked out softly and stretched out to rest on the coffee table in front of the large warm couch.

Lucifer sighed in relaxation as he leaned backwards, his one arm coming up to rest on the back of the couch, leaning his head back on the soft fabric behind him.

The younger angel looked around carefully, taking in his new surroundings just in case. An action that did not go unnoticed by his older brother. He waved it off with a single hand.

"Please, if I wanted you to come to harm, I would have done it by now"

He wasn't sure if that was meant to bring him comfort, but it wasn't working.

There was a large blazing fire place on the other side of the room, crackling lowly, casting a gentle flickering light across the room. A book case full of novels was on the other wall, large and plentiful. In front of them was a large television, nice and flat screen, not like the one he had had in the kitchen. He wasn't sure where he was but he was sure he was not in the bunker anymore.

Lucifer was back at staring at his younger brother, he looked so much younger when he wasn't in his trench coat and slacks. His hair disheveled and out of sorts only serving to make him look even more younger. His blue eyes, while still a bright blue, were dulled more then they should have been. Bags under his eyes that he couldn't remember being there the last time he'd seen him.

Something had changed.

"What are we doing here?"

Oh, now he was getting attention.

"I thought we'd be more comfortable in here, and the TV works great!"

"Why do you suddenly care?"

"I've never not cared."

The look he got was one of a person who was extremely unimpressed. The elder sighed in resignation as he reached forward, grabbing the younger by the back of his shirt and yanked him backwards. Castiel was alarmed as he was pulled back into his elder brothers side, Lucifer's arm draped loosely around his shoulders, holding him in place. He'd never say it out loud, especially to his aforementioned elder brother, but he was becoming very comfortable here, practically snuggled into his big brothers side.

"Now, how about some home movies? Huh?"

He clicked his fingers once more and the large television flicked on, something flickering across the screen. Castiel wasn't sure he was going to like this, but Lucifer was an Archangel, a fallen one sure, but an Archangel nonetheless.

"What did she just say!"

Castiel flinched at Lucifer's shout in his ear, his head resting on the elder's shoulder, it was undoubtedly loud.

Lucifer was fuming, what had Ambriel just said! Had he heard right! No wonder Cas was so sile-No.

He was just not having that.

"You don't believe that!"

Castiel looked up at him from where he was smooshed against his side, staring into his eyes for a long silent moment, before turning away once more. His eye brows rose in unison, his mouth forming a thin line for a long time. Growling under his breath, he forcefully made the younger angel look back at him, a hand under his chin turning him back around.

"You don't think that! Of all the-Your not useless Cassie, don't you ever let me hear you think that ever again, or you'll live to regret it"

"But-"

"Nope!"

"It must be true!"

Lucifer stared down at his little brother for a long time, neither daring to say a word, the admission to his true feelings a bit overwhelming. Never had his intentions ever been to make his brother feel like he was worthless, expendable. Even Ambriel wasn't cannon fodder, she was just as important as anyone else. What exactly was going on up there that everyone who came out of there thought that they were simply expendable.

"I want you to say it"

Their television was completely forgotten, Lucifer now on a mission. This was far enough. His youngest brother had no business feeling such ways.

"Bu-"

"No, I want you to say it, 'I am not useless"

Castiel looked up at him, "I am-"

"Unless those words are what I want them to be, then you better choose them wisely"

"Bu-"

"Do not try me Castiel."

A finger poked at his belly, the younger angel jumping at every touch. Wiggling into the soft flesh underneath the light long sleeved sweatshirt. He stifled a giggle, biting his lip to try and withhold the smile attempting to form. Lucifer, of course, saw this and didn't refrain himself from smiling.

"Say it!"

More fingers joined in with the first, wiggling and twirling and digging all around until one dipped into his belly button and he knew he was a goner.

"Say it Cassie!"

Castiel opened his mouth and a bout of hysterical laughter spilled out in accordance with the hand buried up his shirt. Lucifer smiled over his shoulder, his eyes alight at the fact that the younger had not made any attempt to leave his side during this entire thing. In fact, he's pretty sure that Castiel even scoot closer. Resting his chin on his younger brothers shoulder, the elder looked over at him in silence for a mere moment.

"Say it or I'll be forced to do IT"

Castiel's eyes widened, out of which one neither was sure.

"I-I'm nohohohot useless! Luci mercy!"

There was a beat of silence, Lucifer's chin still resting on his younger brothers shoulder, and Cas went frigid with anticipation.

"I don't believe you!", The elder sang out before burying his face in the younger angels neck, blowing ticklish kisses and raspberries all over. Castiel screeched out loud, squirming this way and that, especially when his older brother growled playfully and shook his head, nibbling on the sensitive flesh where ever he could find it. Cas thought he would explode then and there, but his big brother was far from done, he wasn't intending to stop until his baby brother said those words and meant them in the same moment.

A hand snuck up the bottom of his shirt, wiggling around his pants line, until it slowly climbed higher, circled his belly button as the younger shrieked out with mad laughter before digging inside and scratching all the way at the bottom. Castiel screeched out in happy laughter, his hands finally coming up to shove at his big brother, his face still buried in his neck only making his own laughter tickle even more.

More fingers joined the one on his tummy, digging in and scratching everywhere they could. Castiel screamed in laughter and tried to spin around. His big brother seemed to be waiting for him to attempt this movement, for as soon as he raised his hands to dislodge him hand from his belly, the hand shot up and dug into his open defenseless armpit, hooking at the sides, the ultimate torture.

"Luchuhuhuci! STOP!"

"Not until you say it!"

"BUhuhut ihihits truhuhuhue!"

"Your obviously not learning your lesson here, are you? Maybe we should try something else? I remember Gabriel always grabbing you up and doing this to you when you were a tiny child!"

Castiel slipped away from his big brothers side sliding down onto his back. Unfortunately for him, that exactly what his big brother was waiting for, climbing over his head to rest gently on his thighs. The younger was panting hard after such an attack the first time, whining when his big brother slowly pulled the hem of his shirt up, eyeing his tummy like an animal eyeing its prey.

"I'll give you one more chance baby bro, cause I'm so nice"

"You mus-"

"Not what I wanted to hear, can't say I'm that upset about it though!"

He traced his fingers around his baby brothers pants line, whatever the younger attempted to say next cut off by a bout of happy light giggles. He smiled at the sound, twirling his finger upwards until he circled around his belly button, drawing shapeless squiggles all over his tummy smiling at the giggle fit that his baby brother fell into.

"What's wrong with you?"

Castiel's tummy twitched and shook with his happy giggles, Lucifer grinned as he leaned over him.

"Are you ticklish on your tummy?"

There was no way that he could answer, what with the other fingers joining in on his torment.

"That's ok, I know you are, and I know you really hate it when I do this!"

Castiel screamed in surprise when his big brother's fingers went flying up and down his sides. kneading into the fatty flesh, scratching at each space between his ribs, taking care of each individual bone in his own ticklish way, picking and poking at his hip bones, smiling at the explosive hysterical laughter that poured from his brothers mouth. His smile was gentle, as each time he opened his teary eyes they sparkled in a way Lucifer had not seen in a very long time, and he leaned down, resting his forehead against his giggly mess of a little brothers forehead, and pressed a swift gentle kiss to his temple. He stared into those ethereal blue eyes, slowing his assault down so he knew his baby brother could hear him.

"Do you know what I'm going to do now?"

The younger angel shook his head, a goofy grin plastered on his face, giggles still ever present in the anticipation of what he did in fact know what was about to happen. Lucifer narrowed his eyes playfully, pecking at his baby brother's nose.

"I think you do! If you won't say those words willingly, then I'll force them out of you!"

He smiled even more at his baby brothers sweet giggles. Moving his head slowly downwards, towards his quivering belly.

"Now look at this! I think I'm gonna eat it!"

He pressed a single kiss to his baby brothers naval, hearing him screech with pure mirth as he did, before burying his face into the sensitive skin underneath him. Castiel screamed in happy laughter and squeals, his big brother nibbling everywhere he could. Here he nibbled on his sides, there he nibbled on his hip bone, on his ribs. Growling playfully when his hair was pulled on extra hard by his giggly little brother.

"Don't make me hold you down, Baby Brother"

Castiel only giggled in reply, shrieking when his big brother pressed his lips right on top of his navel, and blew as hard as he could. His screech of ticklish agony filled the room, as his big brother did no stop at that, oh no, he buried his face everywhere he could and took a deep breath and blew as hard as he could. One raspberry down by his pants line had him bucking upwards, Lucifer seemingly waiting for him as he wrapped his arms down under and around his lower back, fingers popping out on the other side digging harshly into his sides.

The younger angel could only scream and squeal in bright happy laughter, at his big brothers complete mercy in here. Lucifer laid his head down on his baby brother's quivering tummy, fingers still digging their happy dance around his sides, he shrieks still full of hysterical happy laughter.

"Say it Cassie! I'm not gonna stop until you say it!"

Castiel screeched as happy tears of mirth fell from his eyes, knowing full well that his brothers words were to be taken as true. Those fingers experienced in the fine art of tickling young wayward hardheaded angels to tears, especially young angels named Castiel.

"Say it Baby Brother!"

He took a deep breath, arching his back as those evil fingers dug into his hip bones, and screamed out.

"I-IM NOT USELESS! HAHAHHAHA LUCHUHUHUHUCI NOHOHOHO MOHOHOOHOHORE!"

Lucifer laughed nearly as hard as his baby brother as his admittance fell way to a loud squeal. Hugging his arms around his baby brother tighter, his laughter shooting up in octave, as his fingers attack both sides of his tummy, on either side of his belly button. Now he was just egging it on.

"Now say I'm the best big brother in the whole universe!"

"THAHAHAT WOUOHOHOULD BEHEHE A LIHIHIHIHIE!"

"Why you little-!"

Castiel thought he'd go crazy with laughter when his brother buried his face back into his tummy, right over his naval, and blew one agonizing raspberry right after another, his squeals filling the room once more. His skilled evil fingers still working their magic on his sides. He was trapped under his big brother, at his complete and utter mercy, and his face was beginning to hurt from laughing so much.

"YOUR THE BEST BIG BROTHER, THE BEST!"

Another raspberry, "In the what?", followed by another.

"IN THE UNIVERSE, THE WHOLE UNIVERSE!"

Lucifer laughed freely, deep and melodic, twisting around on the couch onto his back and pulling his baby brother around with him, plopping him on top of his chest. Castiel, exhausted from laughing so much, sunk down onto his big brother and gulped in breath after breath. Lucifer smiled down at him from where he could not see, tenderly and loving, rubbing at his back and scratching at his scalp to help in calming him down. Arms wrapped protectively around the small angel.

"And your the best baby brother in the whole universe too!"

Castiel felt a pair of warm lips press against his forehead, "And if you ever think of yourself so lowly again I can and will make this seem like a cake walk, understand me?"

The younger angel yawned, nodding his head slowly, simultaneously secretly nuzzling into his big brothers chest. Lucifer smiled knowingly though and wrapped him in a tighter embrace.

Dean turned to Chuck, who had been staring at Lucifer (or Cas it could be Cas) for a long time, a smile playing at his lips the entire time.

"What's so funny? Is he ok? Cas ok?"

Chuck turned towards the Hunter after a long moment, his eyes softer then Dean had ever seen them.

"He's better then ok."

Of course Chuck was God (although he still preferred Chuck) and had seen the entire thing. He could not have done a better job himself. It had been too long since he had last seen his youngest son so carefree and happy. And Lucifer, he had almost feared he had forgotten how to laugh.

"Maybe, just maybe"

He shot the pair a secret glance, an idea forming and a smile taking over once more. Dean looked over at him again, confusion etched on his face.

"What did you say?"

Chuck smiled, "Oh nothing, nothing at all"

Not yet, anyway.

Here's Cassie Guys! I miss him and want him to be ok though! Big Bro Lucifer is just too fun to write! Hope you liked it!
