Pairing: Sam/Castiel
Spoilers: none, unless you don't know Castiel
Rating: PG, clothed men kissing.
Warnings: None.
Summary: curtain!art: Castiel loves his practical, comfortable pajamas almost as much as he loves Sam. Small Sam/Cas ficlet also.
Ficlet more related to my previous post :)
After everything fell apart and then was put together again, Castiel often sought out Sam Winchester's company. Sam was tired, exhausted by the mere existence of the world, and prone to long silences. Sometimes overwhelmed by the world himself, Castiel sank with relief into those silences, sitting nearby with his eyes closed. He listened to Sam breathe, or pages turning, or keys clicking. He listened to Sam's blood move through his veins.
The blood still held the taint, faded though it was, but after knowing Sam as he did and after becoming something less than angel, but more than human, the taint no longer stirred revulsion inside him. Now it was just a part of Sam, no more unattractive than the moles on his face, the premature streaks of silver in his hair, the deep scars that spanned his back. Perhaps it was exactly as attractive. However, none of these was as lovely as his soul; it called to Castiel, linked as they were now by circumstance and time and trauma, and by the quiet affinity they shared.
"Sam," he said one night, sitting near an open window and letting the sound of the wind over water be his accompaniment to Sam's silence tonight. Quiet affinity, and an even quieter longing.
Sam looked up and swept untidy hair out of his face. "Castiel?" It wasn't as if they never spoke, but it had become a rare thing.
"You should know that I hold feelings for you." Castiel held Sam's gaze, hoping that his eyes would show his sincerity.
Sam's eyes widened, and Castiel could see the capillaries in them, snaking red across his sclera from too little sleep. "I, uh... " Blood rushed to his face, tainted, and pink like soft rose petals over his cheeks, and the scent of wild roses--Heaven--wafted across Castiel's memory.
"There's no need to speak on it now," Castiel said. "We have time."
They had time; time to speak, and to become close, and to love each other in that same wordless way. Finally, a year later, when Sam awoke to find Castiel perched on his bed, watching him, he surged upward and gripped onto Castiel's lapels. Castiel had time to feel the tautness, the tingling anticipation before Sam pressed their lips together. Sweet like Castiel had not expected, and the feeling washed down through his body in a way that he'd never thought possible, from one small touch of skin on skin.
"Sam," he whispered when they parted, and "Please," Sam said. Castiel stayed with him until the sun went down, and until it came up again. And Sam awoke to find Castiel watching him.
