The Angel Of Thursday Misnderstands Your Reference

I am Castiel. I am an angel of the Lord. I am a soldier, however I have free will and have been a great many things in my time. But I am part of... Team Free Will. And I'm... Honoured to be that.

“It’s not an issue, Sam. You sought refuge in my home and I granted it.” he said calmly before scowling at Balthazar. “We are happy to help, aren’t we?” he asked and Balthazar scowled at Castiel but relented, giving Sam a warm smile.

“Yeah, just don’t freak out, but we’re Hunters, so…. Figured we’d be clear that we do that, but you two are, uh…. You’re good. Clean.” Balthazar nodded before turning and stalking away to the kitchen, too awkward to stick around.

“Don’t mind my idiot brother.” hesaid casually.

[thishasbeencary]

Sam looked over at Dean, and Dean helped his brother sit up more, before Sam shrugged his shoulders toward Castiel and Balthazar, blinking his eyes at Balthazar’s comments, opening his mouth to respond, but then he’d left the room, Dean sneering after him.

“As long as you ignore mine.” Sam rolled his eyes, reaching out to weakly hit at Dean’s arm. “Dean, uh, explained the situation you guys are in with us,” He spoke slowly, but everything he was saying made sense, so it didn’t matter. “And I know he got all the proof he needed, but you sure ‘bout this?”

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

“Sam, this is as much our world as it is yours. Your father may have made it, but we inherited it, so to speak. Now most of the civilization is kind of making a mess of it, but we would not be given the knowledge we have if he didn’t wish us to have it.” Castiel smiled sheepishly and shrugged. “I’m going to protect my home with everything I have, till my last breath leaves my chest and my soul leaves this realm. Till then, you’re stuck with me.” he said calmly and crossed his arms.

Alarms And Nudity, What Could Go Wrong?

[bravelittletrickster]

Gabriel glanced at Castiel when he at back down, but said nothing else. Instead, he watched the building and the crews leaving. He was up right after Castiel was, slowly walking toward it.

He smiled at the exchange between the two Omegas, glad that Castiel seemed to get along with someone else that wasn’t his brother. He stopped when Castiel turned back to him.

His smile was wavering, though at the Omega’s words. “You…you’d want to see me again? Why? Most people I meet hate me.”

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

“Why? Because you don’t treat Omega’s like objects for Alpha’s to claim? Because you don’t look down on others and treat people equally? Because you’re sly yet playful but can be respectful?” Castiel asked, listing off the things that appealed to him in the few moments they’ve had.

“Because you’re not like the rest of your dynamic?” Castiel smiled then, Balthazar practically beaming at his brother. “You do realize I act more Alpha than Omega. Those traits are apealing, not revolting to me.” he summed up and with that, vanished inside the building.

“Break his heart and I break bones.” Balthazar said low before singing ‘Cassie wait for me’ and chased the Omega inside, to which Castiel’s voice growled out annoyance as they made their way upstairs.

[bravelittletrickster]

Gabriel just started at Castiel as he listed his good traits. He couldn’t believe that this Omega seemed to like him. Even if Castiel did act more Alpha than Omega. That actually made Gabriel like him more than the rest of the Omegas he’d met.

Gabriel smiled at him as he disappeared. He was about to follow when Balthazar threatened him. It made him recoil, confused by what had happened. Just because they appreciated each other’s traits didn’t mean they just consummated a mating. But Gabriel tried to shake it off and continued inside, hoping to relax the rest of the night.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Castiel smiled, unlocking his door and was reluctantly chased inside by his brother. He sighed, knowing this wasn’t the end of his night.

Morning thankfully came and the Omega was fully dressed, padding down in formal clothes, shrugging on a trench coat. He was going to the animal clinic he helped at with a smile on his face.

He found a decent Alpha, one who wasn’t his friends from childhood - though they were more childish Omegas, he swears.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Alarms And Nudity, What Could Go Wrong?

[bravelittletrickster]

Gabriel just sat there, watching the two practically naked men talk. If they weren’t brothers, he would have sworn that they were together or bonded, but for some reason, he was happy. It didn’t make sense, though, because he had no reason to want to be with an Omega he just met other than biology.

But he wasn’t going to butt into their conversation when he had nothing to add and no reason to speak up. He didn’t feel the need to interrupt like every other Alpha seemed to.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Castiel grinned and moved to sit next to Gabriel on the bench again, all annoyance gone, a small smile even pulling at his lips. So maybe the fire alarm wasn’t too annoying, perhaps it could be forgiven entirely.

He did after all meet an Alpha who wasn’t an asshole.

“We can return to our places now. I truly am sorry.” That was Samandriel, huddled up next to his Alpha Adam and Castiel was up once again, hugging the young Omega, smiling completely now.

“All is forgiven, Samandriel. I will see you tomorrrow for study. Sleep up.” he said gently before moving to the building, pausing to face the Alpha in the fox suit. “It was nice to meet you. I hope that we run into each other again.” and with that, he was walking away.

Castiel found himself heaped over in the chair by the door, fallen over the armrest when Dean entered, Balthazar soon entering and checking him when he winced as he stood.

“Perhaps we should leave. Sam doesn’t know us and might cause an issue.” Castiel murmured to Balthazar as Sam spoke to Dean.

[thishasbeencary]

Dean glanced back to Cas momentarily, grinning at him for a moment before scooting the chair he’d been using closer to Sam’s bedside and talking to him softly for a few minutes, not bothering to make Sam translate everything to English, rather speaking their native tongue as he filled them in.

Sam stared over Dean’s shoulder for a moment with the explanation, raising a hand weakly, “Thanks,” It was a start. It was a good start. Dean grinned at the simple word, and Sam let out a tired cough.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

“It’s not an issue, Sam. You sought refuge in my home and I granted it.” he said calmly before scowling at Balthazar. “We are happy to help, aren’t we?” he asked and Balthazar scowled at Castiel but relented, giving Sam a warm smile.

It’s been a few days now and Castiel was content to see Dean and Balthazar not killing each other yet, though they usually ignored the other if Castiel didn’t force them to interact.

However, Castiel jumped, having gone into the bedroom to fetch some clothes when he heard a voice speak up.

"Holy sh-" he caught himself and took a breath, gripping his shirt over his heart before shuddering. "Dean! Sam is up!" Castiel called and his voice did not squeak.

[thishasbeencary]

As long as Dean stayed out of the room that Balthazar was in as much as he could, he didn’t find any need to want to hurt him. When they were in the same room, one left. Made things easy.

Which was why Dean was standing in front of a bookshelf, looking over the titles Castiel owned when he heard the loud voice, and then froze, moving faster than a human could to get into the room, remembering to apologize after he’d shoved Cas out of his way.

"Sammy?" The younger angel looked up at Dean with wide eyes after Dean had spoken, mumbling something not quite English, and the older broke into a wide grin.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Castiel found himself heaped over in the chair by the door, fallen over the armrest when Dean entered, Balthazar soon entering and checking him when he winced as he stood.

"Perhaps we should leave. Sam doesn't know us and might cause an issue." Castiel murmured to Balthazar as Sam spoke to Dean.

"I’m aware. I have a vampire friend, so it’s understandable." Castiel shrugged lazily and chuckled nervously. "The world is turning over itself and all we can do is try to keep up." the priest smiled before patting Dean’s shoulder and backing up, moving back to the coffee machine.

[thishasbeencary]

"A hunter, who’s also a priest, who has a friend that’s a vampire? Times have changed," Dean laughed some, looking back to the other and leaning against the cabinet. "I think that’s their problem. The fact that we… are not keeping up. Most of us, at least,"

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

It's been a few days now and Castiel was content to see Dean and Balthazar not killing each other yet, though they usually ignored the other if Castiel didn't force them to interact.

"We are also far more surprising than you think. We have tricks, Dean, and Balthazar and I know more than a few helpful allies. We have safety measures." Castiel smiled, a faint action.

He pulled back from Dean, hands still on his shoulders. “You have to have some faith in us, Dean, You’d be surprised what humans could do.” Castiel honestly believed if war and violence could be forgotten against fellow man, humanity would do amazingly great things.

Sadly, war is a plague that festers in the human body and often is pointed at each other rather than the very real threats.

[thishasbeencary]

"I guess so. And, hate to admit it, but you’re stuck with us already. Not very many on me and Sammy’s side. Don’t know if any of the others want to stop it," He said, a little sad as he looked back to Cas.

He didn’t try to get away from the touch, looking up at Castiel, smiling some. “Last time I was down here, humans could barely harness fire. Now, you can do all of these amazing things that I don’t know if Dad could’ve even predicted. Honestly? I’ve got more trust than I would’ve without meeting you,” Dean said with an honest smile.

"But you’ve still gotta be safe. This is an angelic war. And you can be sure as Hell that they aren’t about to play a clean game. You guys have have a bit of a misinterpretation about the morals of angels."

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

"I'm aware. I have a vampire friend, so it's understandable." Castiel shrugged lazily and chuckled nervously. "The world is turning over itself and all we can do is try to keep up." the priest smiled before patting Dean's shoulder and backing up, moving back to the coffee machine.

[firstbladewielder]

Dean wrapped his arms around Castiel as soon as gabriel left the room. “Yes Cas? is this okay?” he asked, referring to the closeness.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Castiel jumped at the sudden hug, not expecting it, but the question from Dean had him almost in tears, throwing his arms around the taller man and burying his face into Dean’s neck.

"It’s more than okay." he mumbled quietly, relaxing into the touch happily.

[firstbladewielder]

Dean smiled and ran his fingers through Cas’s hair, waiting to talk for when Cas was looking at him so Cas wouldn’t miss his words. He jsut hugged him tightly, enjoying their closeness.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Castiel leaned back enough to see Dean's face, but kept the embrace happily and smiled to the other.

[firstbladewielder]

Dean leaned over a little, tangling his other hand in Cas’s hair. “I want more, are you really going to deny me more?” Dean wasn’t loud, not normally. Years of having to be quiet with his brother a room over had trained him to not be loud. With enough attention from Cas, though, could easily turn Dean into a screamer.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Castiel grinned. “Give me what I want and you get what you want, Dean.” he purred before turning back to kitten lick along Dean’s length.

[firstbladewielder]

Dean moaned softly, tugging on Cas’s hair to guide him to do more. “Damn it Cas.. I refuse to beg” he said stubborny.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Castiel pulled away, turning his attention to Dean's hip instead. "Come on Dean." Castiel's voice was low and rough, eyes flashing up again at the hunter, glinting a challenge.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Of Priests And Angels

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Castiel was stunned, because here was the angel that all but sauntered into his life, a divine being far surpassing Castiel…

And he’s almost pleading for him to be careful.

Perhaps it was how he was raised, or his training both as a priest and a hunter, or perhaps it is simply something so humanly Castiel about himself, but the need to comfort the other crushed him.

Perhaps being sleep deprived is a bad idea, but he walked over to Dean, tugged the taller being from the counter and tucked him into his arms. “I will, Dean. I know this is entirely different to what I’ve faced, but I have experience.” he said gently.

[thishasbeencary]

There were certain things that Dean knew better than the world, but humanity was not one of those things. And he was worried about Castiel, an emotion that he had never experienced before outside of his brother. It was weird.

Suddenly, Castiel had his arms around himself, and Dean’s posture got stiffer for a moment before letting himself give into the hug, though he didn’t lift his arms to return it.

"I know you do. And you’re right to want to help your world, it’s just way more dangerous than any little hunt, and me and Sam have never been this hurt no matter how long we’ve been against the others in our little ways, and humans are… much more breakable."

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

"We are also far more surprising than you think. We have tricks, Dean, and Balthazar and I know more than a few helpful allies. We have safety measures." Castiel smiled, a faint action.

Castiel started the coffee machine, desperately needing it right now. “I don’t want to leave my church without a priest, but I’d rather not leave my world without an extra pair of hands to save it.” Castiel said, knowing it was Dean who entered.

"I know I’m just human, Dean, but I could never pass on knowing I never tried to help." he said quietly.

[thishasbeencary]

Dean listened to the priest speak, crossing his arms over his chest and shrugging after a moment. “I’ve figured your family’s to hard to fight with right now,” He snorted some, leaning against a counter and the lowering his eyes.

"I know, Cas. And humans… I mean, you guys, I mean… Look, no offense, it’s not a good choice. But I’m not gonna be able to change your mind. And I get that. You just gotta promise to be careful."

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Castiel was stunned, because here was the angel that all but sauntered into his life, a divine being far surpassing Castiel...

[firstbladewielder]

Dean threw Gabriel off and went back to Castiel’s side, wrapping an arm around him. “Gabriel, do you mind giving Cas and I some alone time?”

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

"Just remember I am called Loki for a reason, kiddo." and with that, Gabriel left, waving to Castiel and scuttling down to his shop happily.

"Dean?" Castiel asked, looking up at the taller man with wide blue eyes.

[firstbladewielder]

Dean wrapped his arms around Castiel as soon as gabriel left the room. “Yes Cas? is this okay?” he asked, referring to the closeness.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Castiel jumped at the sudden hug, not expecting it, but the question from Dean had him almost in tears, throwing his arms around the taller man and burying his face into Dean's neck.

"It's more than okay." he mumbled quietly, relaxing into the touch happily.

[firstbladewielder]

Dean let out a muffled moan, putting his hand over his mouth to hold it back. “Fuck Cas. you know I love it when you do that”

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Castiel pulled off with a pop and licked at the base, nosing his balls and purred. “You want more, then don’t hold back.” his voice was low and wrecked, eyes sparkling with that rare shine that reminded people just what he had been before he fell for humanity.

Before he fell for Dean.

[firstbladewielder]

Dean leaned over a little, tangling his other hand in Cas’s hair. “I want more, are you really going to deny me more?” Dean wasn’t loud, not normally. Years of having to be quiet with his brother a room over had trained him to not be loud. With enough attention from Cas, though, could easily turn Dean into a screamer.

"You healed him, he seems fine." Castiel smacked Balthazar upside the head who promptly groaned ‘I need a drink’. "Yes, you are fine." he scowled at the elder before shaking his head.

"I stayed at that hunt alone because you demanded it. And a little girl got in the mix." Balthazar crossed his arms and Castiel took a deep breath. "She’s fine. At the hospital with a few scrapes and bumps." he added and turned a scrutinizing gaze on Dean.

"Balthazar, don’t start your big brother lines." Castiel groaned, leaving them to head to the kitchen, already done with the two.

[thishasbeencary]

"He is fine. He wouldn’t let me finish, but the worst is healed." Dean returned, smirking toward Balthazar for a moment before rolling his eyes at the interaction between the two of them.

Dean watched Cas go and then glanced back at Balthazar, smirking, “You’re welcome,” He stuck out his tongue and then walked back to the kitchen after Castiel, interested in what he was going to be doing in there. The kitchen seemed like a good place.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

Castiel started the coffee machine, desperately needing it right now. "I don't want to leave my church without a priest, but I'd rather not leave my world without an extra pair of hands to save it." Castiel said, knowing it was Dean who entered.

"Cassie has enough on his plate. And as a big brother, you need to make sure they don’t worry." Balthazar said, shifting as he slowly pulled his jacket on, phantom pains aching him.

"Balthazar?" Castiel asked, itching for a gun till he registered Dean.

Balthazar was safe. Wait…

"What’s with all the blood?!" he refused to admit his voice did a panicked squeak as he rushed to his brother, forcing the elder to allow him to yank the shirt up to reveal-

Nothing. The priest was relieved, looking to Dean, eyes narrowed slightly before he offered a small smile.

"Thank you. But you need to rest too. You were in better shape than Sam, but you still look terrible." he said and smacked Balthazar across the head who yelped. "And you. What have I told you about driving in this condition and not to a doctor? Or waking. Me. Up?!” he emphasized each word with a smack from a pillow before bundling his brother up close.

"Cassie, hey! I’m fine! Feathers here fixed me up, so I saw a doctor, the best in the biz." Balthazar yelped before sighing and ruffled Castiel’s hair.

[thishasbeencary]

Dean nodded his head slowly, looking back to where Sam was hidden before carefully balancing himself again, tucking his hands into the pocket of his suit while the rosary hung out a little on the edge, watching between the two brothers with a forced smile.

"I’m better, though. My Grace is mostly recovered, it’s just surface stuff. Give me another day, and all of this will be cleared up. We work for good, or whatever. Just figured you’d prefer him with all of his blood instead of none of it," The older angel picked at a loose string on his pants before rolling his eyes.

"I doubt it’d be a good idea to really trust my medical advice. Sammy says my sources are… uh, unreliable. And trashy.” He scoffed, smirking between the humans.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

"You healed him, he seems fine." Castiel smacked Balthazar upside the head who promptly groaned 'I need a drink'. "Yes, you are fine." he scowled at the elder before shaking his head.

"Cas." Balthazar wheezed, coughing as his body shuddered slightly. At the hand on the wound his head fell back and he groaned at the warm rush of Grace smoothing away the injuries.

When all was said and done he caught the other’s wrist and stared at the angel. “Don’t…. Waste your energy on me.” he huffed, moving the hand from the remaining wounds.

He could survive the bruising and the few cuts that remained, and with a full body of blood, he was fine. However, he looked away from the angel, trying to move for his jacket, hiding the dull pain the stretch did.

[thishasbeencary]

Dean watched him quietly, “Yeah, okay,” He muttered as he healed his side, finishing it and pulling his hand away for a moment, breathing out to shut his eyes and focus, looking back at Balthazar.

"It’s not a waste when it’s for good. And I’m mostly healed, I don’t need to be at full power sitting around anyway."

And, if Dean swayed a little when he stood back up, catching his balance, he didn’t say anything about it, stretching his back and then glancing at the hunter again. “I’d suggest not being an idiot and hiding those types of injuries,” He muttered, looking over.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

"Cassie has enough on his plate. And as a big brother, you need to make sure they don't worry." Balthazar said, shifting as he slowly pulled his jacket on, phantom pains aching him.

Balthazar just shook his head, hand gripping his side now weakly. The blood was thick now, coating his fingers and shirt. And he had treated it too. That’s what he gets for jerking around.

"Side and skull." Balthazar gasped, remembering the hard hit to the head. But he felt fine when driving, now it was killing him.

Nothing compaired to the violent gashes on his sides.

[thishasbeencary]

Dean walked forward, kneeling down beside him and shaking his head some, tracing his fingers above the injuries and then looking back at the human. “You gonna try to kill me if I use some of my Grace?”

He didn’t wait for an answer as he slid his hand beneath Balthazar’s shirt to get to the worst of those injuries, healing them with little focus and a bit of Grace.

[thereferenceismisunderstood]

"Cas." Balthazar wheezed, coughing as his body shuddered slightly. At the hand on the wound his head fell back and he groaned at the warm rush of Grace smoothing away the injuries.
