The Winchester's angel
Chapter Two:
[justify]'My name is Castiel.. I am an angel of the lord.' Wait what now?
I blinked a few times, the gun still bouncing within my grasp as though this were my first occasion with the damn thing. What was I so afraid of? It wasn't like this guy was for real anyways. Maybe I did have one too many drinks and this was all some drunken illusion, but as I try to pinch myself back into the world of the conscious, I catch his gaze regarding me carefully with mesmerizing blue eyes, a set of blue I have never seen belong to a human-being before,
"Like hell you are, now what are you, damn it!?" I snap, brows furrowing to the point where their gaze softens very slightly, head cocking off to the right like a damn cat,
"I told you." He breathes out calmly, cyan oculars returning to stare at the weapon pointed currently towards his upper torso. I could squeeze the trigger and say it slipped, or that it was out of self-defence but I couldn't will myself to pull the damn thing. What was the matter with me? I had taken out filthy-liars like this one before, along with many dirty criminals but for some reason I found this person innocent. I never could have killed an innocent person, but at this point I wasn't even sure 'it' even was human, let alone a man,
"This is your problem, Dean.. You have little to no faith." He says in a gruff tone, their head slipping back to its former angle. If I could compare this guy to anything, it'd be a fricking cat - wait what? Since when do I compare people to animals? Jeez, you're such a girl Dean Winchester.. I self consciously curse at my self, but as I fade back into reality I could see how close this person was and how uncomfortable plus tense the situation was,
"I'd have some more if you gave me some space." I bite out roughly, glaring with emerald eyes towards this apparent, 'angel'. Whatever the hell that meant. Looking to and fro, the being named, Castiel took a necessary step back, his head dipping as though in slight shame,
"My apologies.." A gravel-deep voice replies and I do everything to argue with his formality, or whatnot. The only real person I knew who spoke like that was my damn brother Sammy. Yes, the same Sammy who was passed out just before me. Which reminds me,
"Hey, 'angel-man' what did you do to my brother?" I let out a growl, squatting to prod at my kin's and when I see he doesn't stir evening he slightest, Castiel looks confused again at the title I give him, but soon that look is replaced by rich guilt. What was with this guy anyways?
"He's alive, there's no sense in being concerned. The night is necessarily war so the possibilities of hyperthermia are next to nothing." He murmurs and I hardly catch it. For a few moments we lock stares, but I am to first to break it since I wasn't really in the mood for a damn, 'staring competition' or 'angel-games',
"Yeah, whatever.. " I shrug off his response, not really paying much attention until a hand rests on my shoulder as though reassuringly,
"I have become familiar that this is a gesture of reassurance. Your brother will be fine, Dean. Come morning, he'll wake up without that ungodly reminder of alcohol and with the memory of the best nights sleeps he'll ever come to imagine." The dark-haired man says, and I tense at the contact,
"Okay, then.. Can you umm.. Stop touching me?" I ask a little awkwardly, not particularly fond of the 'touchy-feely' moments even if they were legit or not. The warmth on my body leaves and I feel like an ass-hole as his gaze wanders off a little hurtfully. Just what I need, a sad frickin' angel. If what he says is even true, but those things behind his back speak out another story. So as though on cue, his back is turned to me where my eyes could graze the information of appendages attached to the back of this guys body,
"Are those.. Real..?" I ask a little foolishly, feeling like an idiot for asking such an unintelligent question. He seems to sense this and turn around, the left wing twitched as though in response to my question,
"As real as your existence is, Dean." Such formality.. I bite my lip to keep from saying, returning two eyes back to stare at my mothers limp form. Come to think of it, I have never really seen him so vulnerable and small. Literally, the guy was a frickin mountain compared to me which pissed me off sometimes but it's not like he was given the choice to be this abnormally tall. I also notice the peace that's written across his features, not a single line of youthful age crinkled to the slightest. Maybe this guy named, Castiel - anyways, what kind of name was Castiel? - was right. I wondered though if he would think I was crazy the next morning when I tell him that I had the weirdest night of all time.
Yeah that'll be fun, I can just picture it now,
'Hey Sam, guess what? Last night I was sober and looking up at the pretty-pretty stars when something fell and then walked up to me saying he was a frickin angel! Cool right? Eh? Eh? Oh! He looks like a cat too when he does the head thing.' Yeah.. I wouldn't be teased forever about that at all. Just as I was about to self-consciously let out a pitifully flat chuckle at the thought, I see that the blue-eyed man is now staring again,
"Listen dude, if you actually are an angel.. Don't you think staring is a bit rude?" I ask with an abnormally smug-look. At this he seemed to be slightly shocked at my words and furrows his brows in response, turning away soon afterwards,
"So why are you here, angel-boy?" I ask, frowning at the nickname. What else was I to call him? Castiel? Nah, that's what you call someone when they're in trouble, especially with a name like that.. What about.. 'C' or something? No, that sounded like some stripper-reject. 'Tiel? Well it made sense with his eye color but it still didn't fit..
"Cas.." My thoughts are voiced out aloud, receiving a slightly confused look from the man a few feet away from my form, slight embarrassment cloaking my features. Way to go Winchester, you just made this all the more weird. I let out a silent breath and scratch the back of my neck for no good reason at all. This was all a lot to process after all, but I was grateful that I wasn't one of those 'faint-at-practically-everything-for-no-reason' kind of guy. The thought rose disgust into my throat. No. Dean Winchester was nothing like that. Dean Winchester was the bad-ass cop who does what he wants and nearly gets away with it. Dean Winchester is the guy who can get any girl he wanted with the right sweet-talking. The occasional guy, but Dean Winchester no way in hell swings that way. Dean Winchester is the god of se-
"Is that an abbreviation of my name?" My thoughts are interrupted by a rough sound, and I blink my way back into the present. Wow, did I space out that often?
"Umm.. Yeah, I guess. Now, why is it you're here, Cas?" I ask, suspicion written with distrust across my features. You think this person would know a thing or two about human customaries or something, but apparently not. Were all the angels up in heaven this up-tight? Realizing the context of my question, I frown and dismiss the thought from my mind. Since when did I buy anything he was telling me? Especially in, god or heaven or frickin angels?!
"I am here because it was the will of our Father." He says, seemingly unchanged by my vocal-attitude. Wait, did I just call myself moody? Perfect, just perfect,
"And that is..?" I try to pry, looking directly into those dual pair of aluminum-hard irises,
"To be the Winchester's angel."
