castiel and nathaniel relationship through time is really interesting and dear to me.
it's mentioned that they know each other since they were kids and didn't get along. still somehow, during their first years of highschool they seem to be something more akin to friends. i would've loved to know how that happened, how it evolved. then there's the debrah situation and they go back to despising each other. notice how nathaniel was terribly hurt that castiel didn't believe him, and castiel felt betrayed by nathaniel. and they never talked about it.
then candy shows up and saves the day as always, yes queen. and so it all gets exposed. and after that, they seem slightly less aggressive towards the other, more like how you would treat an ex-friend than an enemy. (i hope i'm making sense lol)
then there's nathaniel's whole family situation. and i think that's when we can notice major changes on their relationship. how castiel helped him even if he pretended he didn't care hehe. (i'm choosing to ignore the terrible way he made fun of it, i still think that was very ooc of him and he totally deserved that slap). i don't remember many specific examples bc it's been a looong while, but there are some moments when, i swear, you can see the change. their bickering turned into light hearted teasing somewhere along the way.
then we skip 4 years into the future. and they fell off. again. and even when castiel (and everyone else, really) were mad at nathaniel, they had amber conecting them both. and somehow they relied on each other when it came to her, some sort of silent agreement to take care of her. and i love thaaat.
and then candy shows up (again), nathaniel fixes his shit, and they go back to how they were at the end of highschool. or not? they're better, even if they would die before letting it show. they're friends again (or for the first time?).
and don't get me started on love life, because oh my god. the way nathaniel doesn't even doubt before risking his job to help him. okay, i see you.
anyways, not to be taken serious ! i'm just a yapper who's still stuck on her obsession from middle school. I LOVE THEEMMMM.
