141. Blind

Castiel was bored. The afternoon seemed to be dragging on and he tried to focus on the book he was reading but his concentration was just slipping.

'This isn't working,' Castiel thought, shutting his book and shoving it aside. 'What am I supposed to do now?'

Soft footsteps sounded behind him and Castiel froze, his head cocked to the side. It sounded like someone was trying to sneak up on him. But who would feel the need to? Before Castiel could react, his world went dark as a pair of warm hands covered his eyes.

"Let me go!" Castiel shouted, trying to turn and fight.

"Guess who?" a familiar voice said. Castiel paused and relaxed.

"Dean," he said. The hands were removed from his eyes, revealing his surroundings again, and Castiel turned to see a grinning Dean behind him. "What was the purpose of that?"

"I dunno," Dean shrugged, sliding into the seat next to Castiel's and slinging an arm around the ex-angel's shoulders. "Some people do it, so I thought I'd try it out. Why'd you freak out?"

Castiel felt silly.

"I – I thought somebody had broken in and was trying to sneak up and attack me," he said quietly. Dean laughed and leaned in to give him a chaste kiss.

"Nice reflexes, angel," he said. "Good to know that you won't go down without a fight."
