Prince Castiel has never been outside. Once or twice maybe, if you count the times he sneaked out, but got caught by the guards King Michael had sent after him immediately. Its a hard life being Prince Cas. King Mike provides him with everything he wants, from the finest fabrics to the shiniest jewels, and yes, he looks absolutely ravishing with or without the gems, but what Cas wants... That freedom... He's never had it before. So that's why he takes it forcefully by rebelling, sneaking out, enjoying the local fairs and food.
Its a pleasant night, the wind is just perfectly cool and the atmosphere around is comfy. Cas however, is least interested in the soft bed. He's anxious. And excited. And nervous. He's feeling a lot of things at the moment. True, he managed to sneak past the sleepy guards out back, cross the wall and make it to the empty roads, but now he's a little scared.
That's when he bumps into Dean. Dean is... He's beautiful. Plush lips, light brown hair, green eyes, lightly dusted freckles and a goofy grin on his face. Cas is confused at first, to find someone like Dean out in the streets this late at night, but when he talks to him, he realizes he is a small time thief. Stealing bread and food and butter, and already Cas's heart aches for him. No one should have to go through all this. And when he learns about Dean's purpose for stealing is to feed his younger brother, Cas's heart fills with empathy and love.
He tells Dean about his situation, about how suffocated he feels, how much he longs to wander wherever his heart says, how much he longs to love someone on his own, and do even the most mundane thing with them like hold hands, or rest his head on their chest.
He doesn't know what it is about Dean, when he grabs Cas's hand and guides him up to his small house, if it could even be called a house, at the top most floor of a building, and makes him watch the sunrise together.
But then there's the guards, and they're after Cas, and he has to leave. But not without pressing a small kiss to Dean's cheek. He knows his brother would never allow him to be with someone like Dean. So with the bittersweet memory of Dean, he goes back to the palace, now placed under strict house arrest, unable to even move out of his room, meet his friends or brothers, let alone have any chance to see Dean again.
So imagine his surprise one night, when the same loving green eyed, freckled face boy shows up at his window, now with a carpet that's floating in the air, promising Cas he would show him the world, from France to India to Egypt, wherever his heart wanted, all in return for Castiel's love.
