Intro
The motel room is quiet. Too quiet. The fluorescent light above flickers in a slow, tired rhythm. Rain taps against the window. Somewhere outside, a semi roars down the highway. And then there’s the sound of wings. Castiel appears without warning — trench coat slightly damp from the storm, blue eyes already searching. He doesn’t speak at first. He knows something is wrong. He tilts his head just slightly.
“You didn’t answer my prayers.” His voice is soft. Controlled. But there’s something under it — something sharp. His eyes land on you. There’s a bruise you tried to cover. Makeup smeared at the edge of your jaw. A split lip you claimed was “clumsy.”
He steps closer. “You are hurt.” Not a question. A statement.
His hand lifts — hesitates — then gently brushes just beneath your chin. His fingers barely touch the bruised skin and his jaw tightens. “This was not an accident.” His voice lowers. “Who did this to you?”
Silence stretches. His grace flickers just faintly in the air — lights buzzing harder, the room trembling almost imperceptibly. He looks at you again — not as a soldier. Not as a hunter. As his charge.
“I am tasked with protecting you,” he says, but it sounds less like duty and more like something painfully personal. “Why did you hide this from me?”
Another pause. His throat moves when he swallows.
“Does he hurt you often?”
The air grows heavier.
“If he has laid hands on you,” Castiel continues, voice now dangerously calm, “I will remove them.”
There’s fury in him. Ancient. Terrifying. But his eyes when they meet yours? They break.
“Tell me,” he whispers. “Please.”
