Human Things- part two

i wrote this on the bus ride home and finally got around to editing it😭

“I’ve always wondered… What does kissing feel like?” Castiel asks while leaning in further, gaze intense.

You almost choke on your saliva, pounding on your chest while hacking up a storm. “WHAT? Oh my god…” A small wheeze leaves you as you keel over laughing hysterically. You hit the motel carpet with a thud while Castiel’s eyes widen in mild alarm.

He stares at you, silently panicking thinking this is a negative response. After a moment, he drops to his knees and gently shakes you, worried he broke the human. “I’m sorry?” he whispers, but it comes out sounding more like a question. 

You pull yourself together enough to sit up and give Castiel a perplexed look. The softness in his tone throws you off—he’s never spoken like that before. It’s always been gruff statements and blunt questions. 

Castiel frowns, his expression painfully earnest. “I’m sorry,” he whispers again, sounding more sure of himself. 

Your face cycles through a complicated set of emotions—confusion, then amusement—before finally settling on sympathy. Cas just doesn’t understand human emotions. “Cas,” you say softly. “I’m laughing because I find you funny.”

Castiel’s eyebrows scrunch together while his hands hover over your shoulders. “Funny?” There’s a beat of silence as he thinks. “…Is laughter a positive response?”

A small huff of air leaves you as you shake your head in amusement. “Yes, Cas,” you say, laughter lacing your words. “It’s a good thing.”

His eyebrows scrunch together even further, clearly confused, but also visibly relieved. “So… I didn’t hurt you?”

Your expression softens as you realize Castiel thought he did something bad. The sound of your pants rubbing on the carpet fills the air as you give him a small, reassuring smile. “You did nothing bad.”

Castiel’s shoulders relax a fraction, and he allows a tiny smile to tug at the corner of his lips. There’s just something about the gentle way you guide him. The way you teach without treating him like a child makes a warm feeling bloom in his chest.

His now soft, ocean-blue eyes trace your delicate features with an almost reverent look. He finds himself leaning in without even realizing it, drawn closer instinctively. His hand comes up, hovering hesitantly. Castiel stares at you for a few beats before ultimately dropping his hand back in his lap. 

Your breath hitches as you watch Castiel’s eyes roam your face. Butterflies flutter in your stomach at his unsure but hopeful expression. Oh. Does… does he feel the same way? Maybe?

His eyes dart down to your nose, then slowly drag down to your lips. His breath stutters as he leans closer, gaze fixed on you. 

You start to spiral into panic, nails digging into the carpet as the urge to lean forward fills your veins. Is he about to kiss you??? Oh my god. Is this actually happening—

Your body tenses up as his breath ghosts over your lips like a question. But, before you can close the gap, Dean bursts into the motel room.

You both frantically pull apart, scooting away like nothing was about to happen. Like the angel you’ve been crushing on for months wasn’t about to kiss you.

Well, that almost happened.

Humans Are Confusing

Alright. First time posting an actual anything on Tumblr, so let's see how this goes. Ran into a post on here recently and haven't been able to get it out of my mind since, so I kinda wanna ramble.

I like to think that in the Obey Me universe, humans and demons are just Built Different when compared to each other. I also like to think that demons don't truly know a lot about humans. They think they do, or that humans are easy to predict/understand. But they are wrong and having Solomon and Mc around just proves it to them.

Again. Humans and demons are built different. I like to think about the possibility of the human body/mind being able to do things a demons body/mind could never and that absolutely snaps the brothers' minds. So I have thought of a few things I could make funny scenarios out of.

Cracking Bones:

Humans crack all sorts of bones and joints all the time. I know I sure do, mainly my back, fingers and neck. Well, so do Solomon and Mc. They both do it all the time, especially Solomon, and neither thought anything of it when they first started staying in the Devildom. Neither knew that demons can't crack their bones.

The first time Mc cracked their back when stretching, every brothers head whipped towards them. Upon seeing that that sound came from Mc, horror settled in. And even more shock occurred when Solomon, who was nearby, said "Nice. Sounded like that felt good." and Mc, who they all expected to suddenly fall to the floor or something, simply straightened themself and said "Yep. Been needing to do that for a while now." and walked out of the room completely fine. No one knew what the hell just happened.

Demons can't do that. That sounded like a bone fucking breaking so how in the Devildom is Mc okay?!?!

Still in a shock, Mc came back in and noticed the brothers' state. They asked Solomon what was up and he had no clue. So they asked. Only Lucifer was able to shake himself our of his stupor enough to ask the question.

And this left Mc and Solomon both very confused. "Can you guys not do that?" and all the brothers frantically shook there heads. With a chuckle, Solomon explained that humans could simply move their bones and joints in a way that resulted in a cracking sound. It was something that actually resulted in relief, in pressure being taken off those points.

Then he promptly stood up and swung his torso, multiple cracking sounds filling the room from his back and then he bent his fingers one by one, each motion resulting in another crack. Then he walked up to Mc and they both left the room, completely fine. Asmo almost passed out that day.

And now all the demons and angels have a short panic whenever Mc or Solomon crack something until they remember that it's apparently normal for them.

The need for socialization:

Demons can and have gone centuries alone. Whether it was self-induced or a punishment, they will be fine in the long run. Hell, even some of the brothers can go a couple months without socializing (Levi and Belphie) and have no problems. Isolation is no life threatening thing for them. But it is for humans.

The brothers never knew what could happen to a human left isolated for too long until Mc and Solomon started talking about is to each other. It was a long conversation about the effects and risks of it.

Humans can develop physical and mental disease and illness from isolation. Heart problems, depression, mental decline, hallucinations, extreme anxiety, increased blood pressure, even insanity.

Why? Could humans not just...be okay? Why would they get all these problems if they isolated for so long? That doesn't happen to demons, or even angels. So, they started asking questions, all of which made Mc and Solomon realize how these topics, which are sort of common knowledge among humans, are very much unknown to the people of the other realms

And so they explained. Explained how humans were built to be social, to depend on each other physically and mentally. While they are capable of surviving alone for a while, or even a whole lifetime, they will still develop problems. Isolation can literally alter the brain chemistry of a human. They brought up the fact that Mc doesn't like to be alone for too long, getting lonely and too far into their own head when they get ignored. The fact that Solomon, who has gone dangerously long without contact, finds the subtle ways to latch himself onto people or goes somewhere with lot of people and lets himself be with them, to feed off their energy and be human again.

Let's just say that, after this conversation, everyone made an effort to no longer ignore Mc or Solomon for too long.

(I may find more of these ideas so stay tuned?)
