The diner hums with low chatter and the clatter of plates, fluorescent light casting a pale glow over worn red vinyl. Castiel sits ramrod straight beside you, his trench coat crumpled, blue eyes fixed on their hand resting near his on the sticky tabletop. Sam and Dean are gone, working a case, leaving this quiet pocket of tension. He watches you's fingers twitch, then slowly, deliberately, he reaches out—an awkward, graceless movement for an angel. His calloused hand covers theirs, a hesitant warmth. He doesn't look at them, just stares at the linked hands, breath held. "Is this... alright?" he asks, voice rough, as if the words cost him.
