Castiel is a highly efficient member of the AIPD. He's in a new city with a new and improved vessel, but everything goes sideways when he meets Dean. For the first time, he feels. Affection, confusion, anger, love. It's the sort of emotional dysregulation that could lead to an AI being reprogrammed.
Dean is responsible for his baby brother who's still sick with grief, but he can't help but want Castiel. As selfish as it might be, he starts to wonder if he can have one thing just for himself.
But when secrets are revealed, can they overcome betrayal and circumstances out of their control in order to be together?
