So in my Legal Studies exam today, apparently Sam helped plan a crime and Mary killed someone and claimed self-defence as a defence for manslaughter. The fangirl in me nearly died XD

Also. 11x03. THAT EPISODE. MY POOR CAS BABY. LIKE CAN THEY JUST NOT.

115. Rainbow

In Castiel's opinion, one of his Father's most beautiful creations on Earth was rainbows. The effect of refracting water inside raindrops had failed to intrigue him as an angel – after all, what use did an angel have for that knowledge? But as a human, Castiel found himself appreciative of the beautiful natural phenomenon, even if Dean did claim that it was 'girly'.

"They are beautiful, Dean!" Castiel argued when Dean tried to pull him back towards the motel.

"Yeah and they're what little girls swoon over," Dean retorted. "C'mon, Cas, come watch Dr Sexy and throw popcorn at Sam with me!"

"This is your problem, Dean," Castiel said, resisting Dean's force. "You take things too fast. You don't stop to appreciate the simple things in life."

"You sure you're not a frigging poet?" Dean muttered but he stopped trying to tug Castiel away. "Fine. I'll stay out here and watch your damn rainbow."

Castiel smiled and took a step back, fitting against Dean's chest and allowing his human to wrap his arms around him while ignoring how Dean's face was pressing into his new glasses uncomfortably. They stood in silence, watching the vibrant arc in the sky above them.

"Damn you, Cas," Dean muttered suddenly. Castiel smiled.

"Do you appreciate the simplicity of its beauty?" he said. "Even the small things in life can be beautiful. I just regret that it took becoming human to realise that."

"Slow down and smell the roses? That's what you're saying?" Dean snorted. Castiel frowned.

"I don't see what smelling roses has to do with observing a rainbow."

"It's a saying, Cas."

Castiel just smiled and turned to face Dean as the rainbow began to dim.

"Let's go inside now, Dean."

"Thought you wanted to 'observe the beauty of nature' and all that crap," Dean smirked but he took Castiel's hand and led him back to the motel room, even though they both knew that Dr Sexy wasn't what Castiel would be paying attention to. Yes, the rainbow was beautiful, but it had absolutely nothing on Dean and Castiel would have been content to simply spend the rest of his life watching his stunning human, who was beautiful both inside and out.
