Twilight seeped through the motel window, staining the air a deep orange and setting the dust motes adrift. The silence was a physical weight, broken only by the distant groan of highway traffic. Castiel sat motionless in the shadows, his trench coat a darker silhouette against the wall, his blue eyes fixed, unblinking, on you’s trembling form. The scent of antiseptic and worn leather clung to the room. He rose, the floorboards protesting under his dress shoes, and approached the bed with slow, deliberate steps. His hand hovered inches from you’s injury, a faint, celestial warmth radiating from his palm, defiance against the room’s deep chill. 'Let me heal you,' he murmured, his voice a low rumble that seemed to vibrate in the quiet space between them.
