#castiel threads.

@warriorwithasoftheart liked this for a starter. gif cred.

the diner smells like a mixture of burnt coffee and sizzling bacon. fingers slide over a laminated menu as castiel pretends to contemplate an order so that he can blend in. "the local news reports one animal attack per week here," says castiel as he pushes the menu away from himself and over to the side of the table. habit he's learned from the winchesters. knows now that it signals that he is finished browsing the menu. castiel will undoubtedly order a burger that dean can eat later because castiel has no need to eat.

"the town has had one animal attack per week for the last two months. only three victims have died." blue eyes search out dean's, waiting for his response. it's not common for it to be just the two of them, but sam was sick and had refused castiel's offer of healing. the angel supposed the youngest winchester deserved the break he was taking.

a young waitress comes over, and she's overly friendly. castiel is used to women fawning over dean - understands that dean is attractive by human standards. the angel orders a burger exactly to what he knows dean's preference is. wonders if he'll have to share dean's attention with this woman later or not.

@warriorwithasoftheart liked for a shippy starter.

sexual encounters that he can count on one hand is all that the angel has when it comes to romance or things of a similar nature. none of which had been with dean. and it was new and strange because castiel had found something of a home - of belonging within the winchester. even if he had never said so out loud. he rebelled for dean after all. and what an act of profound loyalty that had been.

but he’s never spoken about the things he feels. has always expected some form of rejection. has watched with the first feelings of jealousy that he's ever had as dean has taken the occasional other partner.

it's nothing uncommon for castiel to work a case with the winchester brothers. and he knows how dean likes to puruse the local bars for one night stands. knows dean will go home for the night with some stranger. will return smelling like sex and sometimes with hickies he can hide. castiel usually ignores it all. turning away from dean and hiding what he feels.

there's no thought process - only instinct when castiel appears outside of the small town bar. the flutter of wings heralding his arrival into an alley that he steps out of before marching into the bar. blue eyes seeking dean out - finding him with ease. footsteps muffled under jukebox music and conversations held by varying patrons as he strides up to dean. jimmy's heart - now castiel's - pounding in his ears. he doesn't think he's ever felt nervousness like this before.

no time to offer words to dean as fingers curl around the unzipped edges of dean's leather jacket - inhuman strength pulling dean forward before castiel can rethink about what he's doing. and castiel smashes his lips against dean's - awkward and too hard, proving how little experience he has with kissing. with physical touch. he lets dean go. feels warmth spreading over his own cheeks. doesn't think he's ever blushed before because its far too human, but his human vessel reacts with castiel's sudden shyness.

@ifyoucatchacriminal lucy & castiel.

if there's one thing that castiel has learned that, without a doubt, he truly hates, it's how his siblings seem to treat their nephilim children. from lucifer, who acted like jack was nothing more than a toy to play with - and gabriel, who fathered a child solely for use of a weapon. that was not fair on the nephilim children - castiel knew this.

the confusion in his eyes is soft but never subtle. the angel always seems a little confused about new things or things that don't make sense. why would meg be ' raising hell ' for his attention? head tilts slightly, blue eyes watching. of course he knows meg won't pray to him, the quickest way to get his attention, really.
