A/N: This story will be told in drabble form. It is based on some comics I created not too long ago.

Castiel Interferes

"Because you are wanted."

His words are like a balm to her broken heart, but they sound wrong, coming out of his stoic face. He stands erect, unmoved and unchanged by the world around him. He doesn't mean it, a voice hisses in her head and she just wants to curl up on the floor and continue weeping. She wants to crawl right back into herself and return to that distant place where pain was numbed and everything good was heightened.

He doesn't catch her as she falls. He just stares at her with his head tilted to the side. She knows he must be confused, but she can't stop falling apart long enough to explain anything to this strange man. She doesn't have the will to back away as he approaches, even as he raises his hand to her forehead.

Something overwhelms her at his touch and the world fades away.
