"Cas, buddy...you should get out of bed now." Sam coaxed, him and Dean standing a few feet away from the angel's curled form.

"mmm...why." Castiel mumbled back, his tousled hair covering the side of his face that wasn't buried into his pillow.

"It's been two days."

"well ... been awake for the past... millions of years, so..." Castiel muttered back, a few coughs shaking his frame. Sam's face fell, as he noticed his coughs were sounding worse.

"Alright Cas, you aren't going to get any better by hibernating for the next century." Dean said gently, tugging the covers off of the angel. Castiel shivered slightly, slowing turning over onto his back.

"Don't feel good." Castiel mumbled, coughing loudly. Large dark circles hung heavily under his eyes, sickly contrasting against his pale skin. Dean felt his heart give a little, as more concern starting to swell up inside of him.

"Hey c'mon, off the bed." Dean said, failing to mask the worry in his voice.

Castiel slowly rolled towards the edge of the bed, getting ready to stand up. But instead he slipped right off the edge, slumping awkwardly to the ground bringing the mass of blankets down on top of him. In an instance both hunters were hovering over him.

"...I am off the bed."

"Alright, up we go." Dean murmured, as he tugged the blankets off of the protesting angel, easing him into a sitting position. Castiel leaned his head against the bed, a few moments passing before he slowly opened his eyes.

"Did you find out what's wrong with me?" Castiel asked quietly.

"About that..." Sam started, sitting gingerly on the edge of the bed. Dean and Sam exchanged a few glances, in what seemed to be a mental rock paper scissors match. After a few more moments Sam cleared his throat.

"According to this-" Sam patted the thick "Breaking Spells: When Fairies Turn Foul " book.

"-uhm, that spell had uh, of course only short term effects, but apparently when used on angels, it uh- "

"-Your grace is gone." Dean said, mentally cringing as it came out more blunt than he intended.

"Temporarily." Sam quickly added, giving Dean a what-the-hell- glare.

Castiel sat still, sneezing a few times, the expression on his face somewhat blank.

"Yeah, I know." He murmured quietly, resting his head onto his knees looking more miserable than before.

Both hunters immediately felt somewhat stupid, suddenly feeling a pang of guilt. He must have woken up in the middle of the night... alone, with the sudden realization that he was once again stripped from his immortality and left powerless with vulnerabilities. Of course he would have known... how couldn't he? Sam started to form the words of something comforting to say but Castiel quickly broke the silence.

"Alrighty then... good night." Castiel said yawning, curling up into a ball and rolling underneath the bed.

"Hey hey no. You can't rely on your body to heal itself, you're going to have to do it the human way." Dean said, gently dragging Castiel by the ankle from underneath the bed.

"Nooo..m'tired..." Castiel mumbled with a pout.

"Well two nights ago you said you didn't sleep."

"Letmegoo."Castiel mumbled under his breath, attempting to free his ankle of Dean's grip.

" It's not too bad, I used to get sick all the time when I was little." Sam chimed with a comforting tone. Castiel remained curled on the ground with no intentions of getting up. He teeth started to chatter as a wave of coldness shot through him.

"Here I'll get you one of my sweaters." Sam offered, leaving the room. A few minutes later Castiel was bundled up in two of Sam's already oversized sweaters, which was about twice his size. The sleeves dangled uselessly below his waist.

"If you don't get up I'm going to drag you." Dean threatened half heartedly. Castiel opened his mouth to object, but a violent fit of coughing came out instead.

"Okay buddy time to get up." Dean said worriedly, carefully lifting the angel up supporting most of his weight.

"You hungry?" Sam asked gently , as the three slowly walked out of the room.

"No."

"Awesome, let's get you something to eat."

"I don't trust it." Castiel muttered, squinting down at the bowl contents. He gently shook the bowl, his face scrunching up in disgust.

"It jiggled."

"They're spaghettiOs ." Dean said with a grin, adding "Sammy and I used to have them all the time when we were kids."

"..Dean, why does it jiggle?" Castiel groaned, his voice matching his disgusted features.

"Ewww, Dean those are gross." Sam said , looking over his shoulder as he rummaged through the cupboards for more food. Dean looking somewhat offended dramatically placed his hand over his chest.

"Dude don't insult the spaghettiOs. They got us through some tough times."

"I'm not hungry. " Castiel huffed, pitifully sinking deeper into his chair.

"Yes, you are. Now, how about this." Dean said, placing a steaming bowl of Kraft macaroni and cheese in front of him.

"Why is it so...yellow... and squishy." Castiel questioned with a cough, poking a noodle with his fork.

" Just give it a taste."

"I don't want to taste yellow."

"Cas, it... never mind."

After Castiel rejected three more cans of soup, due to the fact that he didn't trust whoever this Campbell person was, and that the thought of eating any letters of the alphabet freaked him out "But Dean what if I eat an important one?'" the boys were running out of options.

"Cas you gotta eat something. It's either some vowels or good ol'spaghettiOs.'"

"Noo." Castiel mumbled, shrinking into his sweaters. The cozy sweater covered his knees , arms and head, the only thing visible was the soft tuffs of his hair.

"Is there anything you like?" Sam asked,

"I like...peanut butter and jelly." Castiel mumbled softly from inside the sweater.

"Alrighty, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches it is." Sam said with a grin.

"We just got the bread, I'll go get the rest." Dean said closing the cupboards, grabbing the keys from the table.

"...Dean?"

"Yea Cas?"

"Make sure you get jelly, not jam."

"..why?"

"Jam is...unsettling."

"Alright buddy." Dean murmured affectionately , ruffling Castiel's hair endearingly.

"Jelly it is."
