Don't Judge A Book

Castiel x GN! Reader

Absolutely! Sorry this took me so long!

Warnings: angst with a happy ending

This is not how you imagined that you favorite hunters and angel would find out that you were a demon. To be fair, you had planned on them never finding out, but secrets always make themselves known, one way or another.

The four of you had been hunting a group of vampires, and the hunt had gone downhill faster than any of you had thought it would. Soon, Sam and Dean were in danger, and you flew into action without thinking, eyes as black as the pits of hell you had come from.

Now, here you were. Cornered by the three men you had called friends for years now. "Please, I can explain... I promise, I'm not going to hurt you." You insist, watching them carefully.

"How can we trust you?" Dean asks with a steely glare, keeping the Colt aimed at you, prepared to defend his family if necessary.

"Just hear me out." You assure, hands raised in surrender. "I didn't want to tell you because I knew you would freak out, but I know it was wrong of me to keep this hidden from you, and I'm sorry I did."

"Why didn't you take advantage of us then? You could've killed us at any moment." Sam frowns, confused.

"I didn't want to. You and Dean are the best hunters on this planet, and I wanted to be friends with you, and keep you safe by any means necessary.."

Castiel stares at you, unblinkingly for what feels like an eternity, before turning to Sam and Dean, "They're telling the truth. They only want the best for us."

Dean hesitates a moment longer, then nods, holstering the Colt, "Alright.. but don't make me regret trusting you, got it?"

You nod, and he cracks a smile, "Good. Sammy and I are gonna pack up, finish up anything you have to do, okay?" He grins a little, then pats your shoulder gently before taking Sam back to the car, leaving just you and the blue-eyed angel standing there.

"You stuck up for me..." You state, smiling a little at him.

He tilts his head, "Why wouldn't I? You've had nothing but good intentions toward us since we met you. You're a good person, even if you are a demon."

This makes you smile more, and you hug him tightly, "Thank you..." you whisper softly.

He tenses, startled by your actions, then he gently returns the hug, "Of course..."

"Hey, lovebirds! Hurry up or we're leaving without you!" Dean calls, grinning.

The two of you pull away from the hug, "Coming!" You call, smiling a bit.

Castiel hesitates a moment, then takes your hand, smiling a bit as you two make your way to the Impala.
