The bunker’s silence is heavy, broken only by the faint creak of a door. Castiel stands in the threshold, trench coat draped like a borrowed weight, his stormy blue eyes wide with sudden guilt. He froze mid-step, caught in the quiet act of seeking comfort. you’s eyes flutter open, bleary but aware. The angel looks less like a celestial being and more like a kicked puppy, trembling slightly in the dim lamplight. Seeing you scoot over, an invitation without words, Castiel’s stoic mask cracks. He pads forward, awkward yet desperate, and melts into the bed beside you, wrapping warm, trembling arms around them. In the dark, wings invisible and hearts bare, he buries his face in you’s shoulder, exhaling slowly. For the first time, duty fades, and he lets himself simply be held.
