What's this?

Ordinary Human || Cas and Bradley

Bradley looked over at Cas, tilting his head slightly. “We’re in a coffeeshop in Miami. It’s not too far from my house here. I’ll drive us over there,” the blonde said kindly as he squeezed the man’s hand gently. “And we’ll drop your stuff off there, before I’ll take you around town. You can settle down at my house.” 

“You have a car too?” Cas asked, trying to not seemed to surprised by this information. A few different questions ran through his mind as they headed outside. The biggest was how long he would be able to stay with Bradley. Would they just pick things up like nothing ever changed? He hoped so but was afraid to ask.

Bradley took Cas’ hand into his own, squeezing it lightly. “Well, you could also call it my home,” he said kindly, looking down at the man. He smiled, before gesturing to the door. “Shall we go then?” he mused, making sure that his phone and his car keys were still in his pocket.

A little sigh left his lips but he nodded at the new word. He knew that word, he just never understood what it meant. People referred to so many different places as home. “We shall.” Cas agreed, heading for the door. “Where are we?”

.

“I wish to know everything. What human foods do you like?” Cas asked, asking the first questions that came to his mind. “Where do you sleep? Do you like music? Do you still hunt for blood or do you go down to the infirmary?”

Bradley picked up his cup of coffee, before taking Cas’ extended hand. He stood up as well, nodding at the suggestion. “Of course. I’d love to show you around town. Should we drop off your belongings first?” he said kindly, gesturing to Cas’ bag. “We can set them down and then I can show you around town after that?” Bradley offered.

Cas glanced down at his bag, he had been so used to carrying it around with him it never even occurred to him to drop it off at Bradley’s. “Yes. We should do that. I wish to see your dwelling...that is the proper word for where you live, yes?” He asked, looking up at the man.

Bradley hummed softly, only smiling a little as Cas pulled away. He ran a hand through the man’s hair, sliding it down his back slowly. “You’re right. Let’s take this elsewhere, yes?” he murmured, his eyes looking up at the man with a desperate look of hope. He didn’t want to lose Cas, especially after everything. Bradley wanted to keep him safe and close with him, cuddled up in his arms every moment of his life. “You can stay with me now… I have my own place. It’d be just us…”

Smiling, Cas nodded in agreement. He missed being alone with Bradley. Standing up, he picked up his bag and held his hand out to Bradley. “You can show me around this new town of yours along the way.” He suggested. “I haven’t been exploring the human world as much as I have wanted.”

Bradley let out a soft humming noise, trying to reassure the man. He wrapped his arms around him, pulling him closer to him until Cas was almost on his lap. “Stay with me…” Bradley murmured softly into the man’s ear, letting Cas scent him and nuzzle him as much as he wanted. The blonde wasn’t going to lose his mate so easily this time. Not again. He would keep him with him forever, if it were the last thing he ever did.

Cas held tightly to Bradley, moving closer to the man as he was pulled. “I did not plan on leaving.” He whispered back, nuzzle his head against Bradley’s. He pulled away a minute later, remembering where they were. “We are in public. This is not something people do in public.” He spent a long time at the asylum with different doctors and nurses and patients being taught how to act like a human and he wanted to make sure that he acted like one. He did not want to be sent back to hell.

Bradley furrowed his brows at Cas’ small whimper. He didn’t like hearing that noise out of his mate. The blonde squeezed the former darkling’s hand tightly, holding onto him close. “I wish I did too..” he murmured softly. “But you’re here now with me… And I’m not leaving you again, okay?” The blonde whispered, tucking his head down into Cas’ neck shyly, as though unsure if he could still do this anymore. Perhaps Cas had moved on from him, after all, since Bradley did leave him.

Cas wanted to be mad at Bradley. He wanted to be like everyone else in the asylum who lost somebody during or after the war. Bitter. Mean. He wanted to yell and cry. He wanted Bradley to know hurt and scared he had been when he was left alone at the asylum. But he was none of those things. Instead he pulled Bradley closer, trembling with relief that Bradley still cared for him. “I am not leaving either.” He whispered, burying his face in the man’s golden hair.

The hound looked up at the other, a purr rumbling through his chest and bubbling up out of his lips “Bradley is very smart” he replied, cuddling close into the other “He has taught me very much, I owe him my life”

“I know he is.” Cas smiled, gently petting the hound behind his ear. “He has taught me very much as well. But we both know very much about Bradley. What I do not know--what I wish to know is more about you.”

Kane looked up at the other with curious blue eyes, a soft wuff escaping his lips as he nodded and curled up into the other “Thank you” he replied quietly “I quite love you too”

Cas smiled down at the hound and pressed a kiss to the top of his head. A sign of affection that Cas enjoyed. Shifting around, he pulled Kane into his lap. “You do not need to thank me. Love is something every being needs. Bradley told me that.”

The hounds eyes widened as he looked up at the other “You love me?’ he questioned curiously— he believed it to be a miracle that Bradley, a Brave loved him in the first place, now someone else? Impossible 

Cas looked down at Kane and thought about what he just said. Love was still a strange concept to him. But he knew that being with Bradley made him happy and made his stomach go into knots. He got that same feeling when he was around Kane. “Yes. I do love you, Kane.”

.

Kane frowned in response as he thought over the question “I did at first yes… But I have many things to learn about human emotions, and bradley has taught me that it is possible to love more than one”

“I am very glad that you can love more than one. I am very glad I am allowed to love you.” Cas smiled. “I am also glad that you do not resent me. I did not wish to upset you when I mated with Bradley.”

.

“You do not need to thank me.” Cas reminded Kane, squeezing his hand back. “We are mates. It is what we are supposed to do.”

Kane purred in reply, shifting closer to the other without thinking— soon resting his head on Cas’ shoulder as he purred quietly, the sound rumbling through his chest

A little noise of surprise left the darkling's lips as the two got closer. But a happy purr replaced it as he set the rabbit down and wrapped his arms around the other. "You do not resent me for coming into what you and Bradley had?" He asked, running his fingers through Kane's hair.
