Sinful Indulgence (Destiel)

Emerald

Thump, tap, thump tap. Water droplets leak through the roof. Thump Tap, The abandoned building baron except for the blue-eyed guy curled up on the floor. The only other sound was the sobs that escaped his lips.

All Castiel could do is lie on the ground, in tremendous pain, Sobbing. How could they have found out? Would they hurt Dean?Did Dean know too? How could he be so obvious?

After a few hours, or maybe days, he couldn't tell , he finally managed to get up, his back covered in dried blood. He looked back over to where he laid , the blood and charcoal marks where his wings were thrown before they disintegrated into nothing but a chalky outline .He limped out of the old hospital holding walls for support.

Cas limped to a nearby store and stole a black backpack and some new clothes. He didn't care anymore, his whole life would be different, and he'd now have to live as a human. His grace had been drained and his wings ripped off of his back. The Angels Betrayed him. Gabriel didn't even come to his cries. He'd probably taken their side...

As he hobbled down the cold dark street a flashback played in his head. He could hear the echo of every bruise and cut that now marked his body. The yelling rang through his brain. The words they spoke, cutting deeper then any physical injury they gave him. The sound was different than when Angel radio Overwhelmed him. It was all too much to handle .'make it stop please make it stop' he thought holding his head .

He reached in his pocket and pulled out his phone which now had cracks across the screen. He shakily dialed Dean's number which sent him immediately to Dean's voicemail "Leave your name, number, and nightmare at the tone."cas didn't wait for the dreadful beep. He kept walking looking for a sign with the city or state name but came to no avail. He decided to Call Sam. " Hey, Sam can't talk right now because he's waxing. Like everything. But I will leave..." cas smiled a bit at Dean's voice through Sam's voicemail "Dean, what are you doing with my phone? Dean, come on." The long-haired Winchester Whined out as you could hear them wrestle for the phone and then the beep. Cas hung up and sighed before walking again , imagining the two brothers fighting for Sam's phone as Dean laughed at the stress he caused.

" Sir you can't sleep here," an officer said shining a bright flashlight into cas' face "O-oh I'm sorry officer, I have had a rough few days ." the officer nodded at the guys honesty "it's okay man you just can't sleep here," he said and cas sat up " can you maybe tell me where we are, I'm very lost," Castiel said and looked down shamefully . the officer kneeled. He could tell that the blue eyed guy had been through some shit . " are you intoxicated in any way? " case shook his head no " my family took a trip where I dropped my phone and it smashed and then I got on the wrong plane, these guys beat me up and here I am . " he said telling only half the truth . He couldn't tell everything. The Officer would never believe him.

the officer took cas down to the station. Cas told him he didn't want to press charges. He didn't know what that meant but had seen it on tv and it worked. the officer gave him a free motel stay to sleep, and an old phone charger that was in the car and took him after stopping for some pizza for the blue-eyed guy to eat

. "thank you for doing this I don't know how I got out here to Los Angeles " he nodded and listened "well where were you supposed to be headed?" he asked looking down towards cas "Lebanon, Kansas I have .. well the closest thing to a family out there," he said not even knowing what to call Dean, scared to consider him only as a friend though he felt that's where their fate lies. "oh okay, well I'm going to buy you a ticket out there "Cas turned to the man teary-eyed " you would do that for me ?" he asked trying to keep the tears from falling " Nobody should be scared and away from their family around the holidays," he said and wrote his name and number on a paper "here use the hotel phone to call me tomorrow and then I will come to get you and take you to the airport and buy you a ticket," he said with a smile.

Cas Explained his situation with Dean . Telling Officer Connors about how he'd loved Dean from the start ,when he pulled him out of a hole in the sand at the beach. He had to embellish some things as officer Connors probably would not understand that angels and demons exist and that he pulled dean from the depths of hell and he's also wanted .

Castiel was in shock when Connors left . The kindness of the officer was suspicious, yet he needed to get to Dean and as officer Connors says ' live his truth' " are people still good ? Have I underestimated the world all these years? "he mumbled looking at the empty. pizza box and Soda bottle . He groaned and went to the bathroom starting the hot water to shower.

He looked in the mirror for what felt like hours but was only 10 minutes. " Is this really how I look?" He said and rested his fingertips on his face as he looked into the fogginess at his appearance. He never truly looked at his vessel, when he looked at his reflection all he ever seen was his celestial appearance. He let out another sigh and braced himself getting into the shower. The water seared in the scrapes where his wings once were. He curled up and sat on the shower floor sobbing . All he wanted was to be around Dean. To look into those emerald eyes and know he is safe .

As if on Autopilot, Castiel got out, stopped the shower , and got dressed. He zoned back in and decided to sleep. His body felt weak and sore. " By this time tomorrow I'll be home, beside the two people I care about most" he said softly and smiled, turning to his side. He began to ponder a word officer Connors explained. Gay.
