Aaaah it’s amazing!Though I personally think that Alex wasn’t beating Cas up for violence’s sake only and that there was more reason/feeling behind it.
I recall a scrap of the Tinychat conversation, when Cas had fled into the other room and Alex was talking to him via laptop:Cas: Why did you torture me then?Alex: Aww, torture is such a harsh word.Cas, suspicious: What would you call it?Alex, grinning: Foreplay.
Alex doesn’t really get a kick out of being mindlessly brutal, he thinks this kind of violence is crude. Being pretty narcissistic and having a high opinion of himself, Alex likes to keep things classy. He isn’t a brute but he does love dominance games and doesn’t at all mind if those get violent because there is a certain thrill to it. Cas resisting his approach is taken as a challenge that he happily accepts.
You could compare Alex to a cat - he likes to play with his prey.Basically, it’s all about fun and excitement for him. When things get boring, he moves on to other things.
Random note: The reason he is so interested in Castiel is because Cas is a fallen angel and, while Alex never could have approached an angel, this seems like a great opportunity to him.
Also this was an explanation for all the people who weren’t in chat the other day, not a critique of your story which I loved, by the way.Thank you so much for writing it all down! It really helps keeping track of the events~
