#mates

- When he does eventually get the courage to tell you that you’re his mate, you ask to see his wings. Telling him you’ve made a point to collect the feathers you did find because they were so beautiful. Castiel’s are this lovely shade of onyx. They appeared to be black while in the light they reflect a mix of blue and green beneath the light. You were amazed reaching out to touch them, but carefully as Castiel had instructed, “Careful they are… are sensitive.” When your finger brush against the plumage there is no hiding the way he feels. Curling his wings around you and letting you run your fingers through them, just so he can feel you on a different level.

- Another sign was that a strange symbol had appeared on your wrist. It seemingly appeared from nowhere and you definitely had no tattoos that was for sure. So when you showed it to Castiel, he visibly paled before he turned completely red. It had taken him a while to see it.

- Unlike other mates it takes Castiel a while to put things together. Once he does know, expect to never go anywhere alone. To always have him watching over you and absolutely refuses to let you hunt alone. It’s like a no go for him.

- Much like a bird he will bring you gifts and other trinkets he finds, hoping you will like them. His wings fluffing up when you do like something and he kind of just nuzzles you. He very much leans into his more birdlike tendencies than other angels.

- He is very protective of you, so even if they don’t mean it. One bad joke makes Castiel mad and he teleports the boys somewhere random. You felt bad for them, but they were being buttheads so maybe they deserved it.

“Wait? So we are mates?” You ask staring up at him with a confusion.

“It seems that way, yes. I hope you do not find me as a terrible mate for taking so long to see it.” You smile at him. Poor, sweet, and innocent Castiel.

“It’s okay. I am just happy we finally figured it out.” You tell him, eyeing the onyx wings that wrap around you in an embrace, shielding you from the world.

Gabriel:

- Angels do go through a molting period, but this is—it’s different. When he gets close to his mate there tons of feathers left around the bunker. You had noticed them the most in your room, golden with a tint of brown at the tips, odd. You begin to start collecting them and after weeks it’s starting to get overwhelming. That was until you saw it. Gabriel had stopped by, like he always does, naturally he flirted either you. You flirted back, much to his surprise and that’s when you saw the feather fall.

- Gabriel admits to the feather being his and had been hoping that maybe he could pretend for a little longer. He liked having his dirty little secret, but at the same time he was finally happy to show you off.

- Immediately rubs it in Dean’s face. Once you are officially his mate. Gabriel’s real test is showing you his wings. While he was nervous you were excited to see them. So when all six wings unfold before your very eyes, you go giddy with excitement. “Oh ny gosh, Gabe! They’re so beautiful.” You move to reach out to touch them, but he stops you. “Just be careful. They can be sensitive.” Once you start, you can’t stop. It makes him a little tense at first, but gosh does he enjoy feeling you this way. Their wings are like another part of them.

- Before the feathers, there is an odd symbol that appears on your wrist. At first glance you thought it had been something demonic. So when Crowley stops by you show him the mark and he laughs, “Darling, forgive me. This is an angels mating mark.”

“A who what now?” You ask confused.

“A mating mark. For angels. It means an angel close to you has marked you as its mate.” You look around the bunker, but don’t spot either of them. Odd. Crowley takes his leave, but you wonder.

- Gabriel knew immediately when he met you that you were his mate, the way you laughed at his jokes. Was there to help him pull through the ups and downs of his life. He knew. There was a difference between knowing and telling though and it took him a while. He’s okay with you hunting, but would prefer if he tagged along. He didn’t trust the Winchesters fully just yet.

- Gabriel brings so many gifts. Flowers, jewelry, and any sweets or food he can conjure up. Not to mention the cuddles with him are phenomenal and he finds himself always trying to please you, despite you telling him being his is just good enough. It takes many kisses and cuddles to reassure him. He’s like a big baby.

- You thought that Castiel was protective. That doesn’t even begin to describe the way that Gabriel would instantly take whatever problem or thing that was bothering you out. Demon on your tail, gone. Friends who can’t handle being let go, gone. He would do anything for you and he could get scary when mad. Don’t come for his mate and you’re good.
