Quite the Surprise [Destiel/Sabriel AU]

Chapter 3

Bobby perched himself on the arm of the couch, looking down at the three cats on the cushion. He was a white cat with orangish-brown patches all over his body. His fur was semi-fluffy, and very scraggy-looking in some places. "Do any of you three idjits know why the hell we're all suddenly cats?!" he meowed rather crankily.

"No, but we should determine the possibilities as to what could've turned us into cats," Sam replied quizzically.

"Maybe it's a witch behind this. One with a childish sense of humor?" Castiel suggested, lifting a paw and lapping over his dark fur with his sandpaper-like tongue.

"Cas.. are you licking yourself?" Dean asked. It was really quite the sight.

"Yes, Dean. I am embracing my newfound 'cat-ness.'" He parted his jaws in a long yawn before settling down on the couch next to Dean and curling up in a fuzzy little ball.

'Damn it, Cas.. stop being cute!' Dean thought grumpily. He made no attempt to move away from the ball of fluff now pressed up against him. Dean liked the way Cas radiated soothing waves of heat.

"Apologies, Dean, but I do not think I can 'stop being cute' at the moment," Castiel murmured.

Dean's fur bristled as his ears lowered. "Ehh.. What?"

"I can read minds, Dean. You should know that."

'Ugh.. Great' Dean thought.

"..I'm gonna go look for a hex bag to see if it could be a witch. Don't cause too much damage while I'm gone," Bobby stated and hopped off the couch, leaving the room quickly.

"Do you two want some alone time?" Sam asked with a snicker. There was no doubt those two had feelings for each other, but neither would care to admit it. It was quite amusing watching them interact. "I'm hungry anyway. I'm gonna go see if there's a possibility I can even get food, considering I don't have hands at the moment," he announced with a flick of his tail. Leaping off the couch, he made his way towards the kitchen. Dean watched as he vanished and grumbled.

"Y'know Cas.. we really should be trying to help.." Dean sighed. Castiel didn't answer him. Of course he had managed to fall asleep in that short amount of time. He grunted and curled up next to Cas, wrapping a protective tail around him. 'I don't feel like getting up anyways..' he thought as sleep overcame him.
