The Impala hums low and steady under the flicker of highway lights, the scent of leather and gunpowder clinging to the air. Sam and Dean murmur up front, their voices a distant drone. In the back, Castiel's eyelids grow heavy, his exhaustion a tangible weight. His head lolls, then finds rest on your lap, a slow surrender. You freeze, hand half-raised to push him away, but the soft rise and fall of his chest stays you. A muttered word slips past his lips, and he burrows deeper, impossibly peaceful. The brothers haven't noticed. Your breath catches, caught between alarm and an ache you can't name. Do you let him stay?
