#quivering lip

[ishtari]

Castiel always understood Dean in a way that not even Dean could. It's known that Dean doesn't talk about his own feelings, and I think that sometimes he does because he himself doesn't understand them. Let's be frank, John was a shitty parent and he taught Dean that emotions and feelings were weaknesses so Dean never learned how to recognize them and deal with them. But Cas can. From their very first meeting "you don't think you deserve to be saved" to 8x07 "so you think this is your fault?".

Dean's reactions is, in my opinion, the realization that what Cas said is true. And that's one of the infinite reasons why I ship them. Cas understands Dean better then he can.

Hero looks outside through the sheer curtain, "Looks clear."

She turns around, pulling the thick curtain closed behind her, and walks over to one of the beds.

Falling back, she sighs heavily and pulls a pillow onto her chest, arms wrapping around it. She stares at the ceiling and then turns to look at Villain, who's sitting against the headboard of the other bed.

He's staring ahead, lost in thought and picking at the dead skin around his nails.

"What're you thinking about?" Hero asks, tossing the pillow at him.

He blinks and looks at her, "What?"

Hero chuckles and rolls off the bed onto the floor, then stands up and falls onto Villain's bed. "What're you thinking about?"

"Oh," Villain says. He pulls his knees to his chest and sighs, "Just how colossally fucked we'd be if anyone saw us here." He nods and then gets a far away look. "I mean…we'd truly be fucked. Superhero would kill me. And if Supervillain saw us-"

He cuts himself off and shakes his head, fighting off tears. His lip quivers and he inhales sharply, "If Supervillain saw us, he'd kill you. And then he ruin me."

Hero scoots up closer to him on the bed and takes his hand in hers, "Hey." she squeezes his hand and forces a smile. "We're going to be fine."

He nods and takes a deep breath, "Yeah."

"Okay," Hero says in a huff. She bounces off the bed and pulls Villain with her. "I have to get back and I'm sure Supervillain will be looking for you soon."

She pulls him into a hug and inhales deeply, her chin settling into the crook of his neck.

"Ready?" Villain whispers, pulling away slightly.

Hero clears her throat and nods, making her hand into a fist.

"Make it look good," Villain says, bracing.

Hero winds up and slams her fist into Villain's stomach. He stumbles back, coughing.

"Oh my god!" Hero says, running up to him, "Are you alright?"

He nods and holds a hand up, catching his breath. "Fine, thanks. You could've hit my face, though."

Hero groans and screws her eyes shut. She nods a few times and clears her throat, "D'ya want me to?"

Villain smiles softly and rolls his eyes playfully, "No, just the once. And look-" he says, lifting his shirt up to show off an already spreading bruise- "Supervillain will buy it."

Hero stares at the bruise and her fingers ghost over it, grazing it slightly and wincing at the contact. "I'm so sorry."

Villain shrugs and wraps his arms around her, his chin resting on the top of her head, "It's the best way to keep them off our trail, right?"

"Right," Hero nods and inhales deeply.
