Bella POV

The car journey was awkward to say the least. Cas hadn't even asked me where we were going and we'd been driving through deserted roads for over twenty minutes; he just sat there, staring straight ahead, acting like there was no one else in the car bar himself.

"Cas-" I started as he also began to say my name. "Go ahead," I mumbled, adding in a small hand gesture as if to hurry him along.

"Bella, I need to know, Do you-" He started before stuttering over the sentence he had started and going in a completely different path of conversation. "Where exactly are we going?"

"Not exactly sure yet, wherever all these nice winding roads take us, I suppose," I laughed. He should know by now that I never plan ahead unless I need something. It's like the way I hunt; I research, plan then go on the hunt and abandon the plan. Plans never help; they just get in the way.

"Stop the car," He suddenly said, cutting off my inner monologue.

"What? Why?" I asked seriously, changing from my calm facade to the mask of a Hunter.

"Just, stop the car!" He said his voice a little louder than before.

"But why, Castiel?" I quickly retorted.

"Just stop the car!" He shouted. I'd never heard him like this before, he'd always been so calm, so patient and I never knew there was this side of him. He hid it well, beneath the face I thought I knew lay a stranger. A stranger that I think I created. The car swerved and I hit the brakes before we went off road.

"What the hell, Castiel?!" I screeched. "What is wrong with you? Not only have you recently been staring at me constantly but now you're acting like a prick as well!"

"Isabella, do you not understand anything? How could you not understand any of this when it is mostly your fault," He said, climbing out of the car. So I was right. I had created this stranger.

"What do you mean?" I asked, pleadingly, leaning across the car and grabbing his arm before he closed the door.

"I mean that you have changed me and I'm not sure whether it's for the better or worse, but now I'm on my own because you have had your fun, gotten bored and left me half made. I thought," He stopped, closing his eyes and moving out of my grip. "I thought you loved me." He slammed the car door shut and started walking back the way we had came. I scrambled out of the car and ran after him.

"Castiel, what do you mean I left you half made?" Exactly what he said, idiot, and exactly what you know you did because you aren't strong enough to own up to your mistakes or infatuations.

"I mean, you have changed me. You pretended like you loved me for so long and when I fell for you and changed so rapidly without knowing, you cut me off. Since I brought you back to the Winchesters, you have always stayed either three steps forward or three steps back, and now I need you to know. Isabella Swan, I love you and I can't stand around and let you break my heart. But please, answer me this question. Do you love me at all?"

Yes, I wanted to shout. Yes, Castiel, I love you! But the words refused to leave my lips even when they bubbled on the surface.

"That's what I thought," He said, defeated, as he turned away to teleport. As he began to fade slightly, I stepped forward and grabbed his arm, turning him to face me.

"Castiel, I love you," I whispered, keeping my head held high and my eyes on his. "I love you too,"

And with that he brought his lips to mine, one hand attached in my hair while the other brought my body against his. His lips left mine for a second as he resting his forehead on mine. "I am so glad you told me that," He whispered before bringing his lips back to mine, kissing me slowly now, as if to savour the moment; a moment so perfect that time seemed to stop and all reality seemed to slip away, leaving just me and him... and maybe a bit of gravity.

He chuckled against my lips. "Always so deep in thought, I can tell. Care to explain?"

"Not particularly!" I laughed. "But I think we should get back in the car before it rains..." I said, looking up at the sky and small droplets landed on my face.

"Something I've always wanted to try..." He muttered before closing the gap between us once more and tentatively pressing his lips back to mine. "...Always wanted to kiss in the rain."

I stepped back once again and laughed. "You mean... You've never kissed anyone in the rain?"

"I've never kissed anyone properly before," He said, catching my attention.

"You mean- never?" He shook his head. "Not once?" I tried again, getting the same answer. "Well... Practice makes perfect I suppose!"

"Who needs practice, when I intend on spending forever with you?" He asked, opening his arms for me, which I gratefully accepted.

"Practice makes perfect," I whispered adamantly before pressing my lips back to his and allowing reality to slip again as rain ran down our faces.

Castiel hadn't realised what he had done. He had shown me that there was light at the end of this tunnel, and the light was in the form of a certain angel who right now was in my arms; somewhere I intended on keeping him.

Hey guys,

I GOT THEM TOGETHER! :D

You should all be so proud of me because I was so worried how this would turn out. As you can tell I'm not much of a romance person but I gave it a shot and it is only a T (thank Castiel!) Any mistakes, then please tell me because I never proof read *cringes* sorry!

But anyway, remember;

read, review and Show me the love!
