the lantern still shines.

Fangirl Challenge l Fifteen Pairings [1/15] - Castiel & Balthazar (Supernatural)

                           ‘  i seem to have developed lots of bad habits.  ’

            extracting the pose sprained all over the desk, his eyes never quite lay off             the laptop’s screen, however poignantly his eyes burn in their sockets. the             very light it oozes is like a wide stare at the afternoon sun   &   it bloats his                         lids with a lassitude that has long settled into his mind prior.

                                   & he eventually moves, pleaded by a rigid back & numb legs,                                    leaving the seat after a healthy chuck of the alcohol that isn’t                                              even posing much threat to scorching his throat.

      a man born under a bad sign. the previous thought was all inclusive; he knew better than most that dean winchester preferred to walk outside the line of expectation. "what happened to your four hours?" the words resonate in the otherwise quiet room while he reaches out to pick up one of the stray papers on the desk between them.

                     ‘  yeah, well …   i’d much rather sleep ‘em through.   ’

           (  a nearing creak of dawn striking a premature six o’clock, yet               dean is already with a quarter emptied bourbon bottle by his                         side & a glass worn by amber trails in his hand.

      "you seem to have developed a bad habit of not practicing what you preach." this is where they've coined the phrase: do as i say, not as i do. his gaze wanders over the bottle of bourbon, then to the nearby window where darkness is lifting its veil just so.
