Aww yes reaper!Dean and angel!Cas is the best. Any chance of getting a snippet more of that au?
“Dean, what are you doing?”
Dean looked up at the alarmed voice, squinting and liftinghis hand to shield his eyes from the sun. Or maybe that was the light ofCastiel’s Grace. He grunted and turned back to stare at the bottle of whiskeyin his hand. It was almost completely empty. Two more lay in piles of shatteredglass at his feet.
The worst part of it all was that Dean could will himselfsober at a moment’s notice. But in this instance he felt the shriek of hisliver in pain, the stab of his kidneys in time with his heartbeat, the way hisstomach felt gurgly and unsteady and his eyesight was unfocused and black atthe edges.
“Drinkin’,” Dean said with a roll of his eyes,tipping the bottle back to finish it off.
It never made it to his mouth. Castiel stepped forward andsnatched it from him and threw it away to the other side of the street, whereit smashed and splattered on the rain-soaked concrete. Dean watched it breakand drip onto the ground and heaved a sigh, pushing himself to his feet.
“Look,” Dean said, jabbing a finger againstCastiel’s chest. “That stunt you pulled with the train almost got theever-loving shit beaten outta me, and if you’re gonna keep on hoverin’ aroundme like a Goddamn mother, you can go fuck yourself.”
“Dean -.” Castiel reached out for the reaper as heturned away, ready to stalk back down the street, and Dean whirled on him, hisscythe drawn. He pressed the outward curve of the blade against Castiel’sthroat and bared his teeth in a snarl.
“The fuck you want from me?” he demanded. Hispretty green eyes were bright with anger, glassy from the alcohol. His entirebeing seemed to burn red from it, lit up, hot and angry and Castiel could feelhis anger like a physical thing, pressing against his hands and face. Still,the hand holding his scythe was deadly steady, the blade pressed against hisneck. “I ain’t one of Thursday’s children, you got nothin’ to do with me,or me with you.”
Castiel stopped speaking and, after a moment, Dean loweredhis scythe until the tip touched the ground. He swallowed hard, his eyes brightwith emotion. Castiel took a cautious step forward, holding out a hand until hecould touch Dean’s cheek. Dean flinched, showing his teeth in a half-heartedgrowl.
“Dean, that’s not why I spend so much time with you.I’m so sorry that my intercession hurt you, but not that I interfered.”
“I know,” Dean said, and lifted his free hand towipe at his mouth, before he shook his head. “Not even mad about that. Iknew you’d do it. That’s what you Angels do,fuck with people and make them clean up your Goddamn mess.”
Castiel frowned. “Dean -.”
“I’m done, Castiel,” Dean said. “You seemlike a decent enough guy, but you can't…we ain’t even the same fuckin’ species,man, and we’re not supposed to be friends.”
“Let me leave,” Dean said, taking a step back.“Let me fly away. Leave me alone.” Castiel reached for him but Deanturned and spread his wings out, disappearing from sight in the blink of aneye. Castiel’s fingers curled around empty air.
He fell to his knees and then moved to sit on the side ofthe road, next to the puddle that Dean’s alcohol had made when he’d thrown it.He closed his eyes, sorrow sweeping across his shoulders and weighing heavilyupon them, and put his head in his hands.
