Stand By Me

This Can't be Real

✞4✞

*Ariel*

Last afternoon was the best afternoon I've had in a long time. Castiel and I only shared one kiss, but we had real chemistry, it might sound really cheesy, but I felt sparks where he touches me. Currently I'm sitting at my small home. I'm trying not to go to bed because I don't want to wake up and find out that Castiel and everything he's done is a dream. Before I left Castiel's yesterday, he said he has to tell me something very important. Lord please tell me he's not a girl! I wanted to make sure I looked nice for whatever he had to tell me.

After I took my fifty minute shower, I got out and wrapped a towel around me. I dried my hair quickly then straightened it. Once that task was finished my hair reached to the bottom of my hips. I pulled on a black romper with gold buttons. Slipping on a pair of gold flats, I went and applied my makeup carefully. Once I decided I looked decent I went and made myself food. After I was done eating it was already 2 p.m. I grabbed my phone and over-the-shoulder purse and headed towards Castiel's apartment.

I knocked on the door shyly. He opened it slowly. I gasped. I forgot how beautiful he was. My stomach rolled thinking about yesterday and how much chemistry we had. Castiel gave me a wide smile and gestured for me to come inside. I could tell by the way he was walking that he was nervous. Whatever he had to tell me he was very unsure about. I sat down at the table in the kitchen and so did Cas.

"Ariel, I want you to be open to this..." He rung his hands together and tried not to look at me.

"Castiel, you can tell me anything. It won't change how I think about you." I pulled one of his hands and held it in mine.

"It just might..." His voice drifted off uncomfortable.

"No it won't, just tell me." Castiel sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

"Do you remember when I told you I was an angel of The Lord?" He asked me. My throat closed up and became dry. I nodded my head. "That wasn't a lie." He said bluntly. I stared at him with wide eyes.

It's not possible...it can't be true...angels? I thought they were just a religious figure...

"Please understand Ariel." Castiel whispered.

"Castiel, it's not possible, I think you should get counseling." Castiel shook his head and groaned.

"It IS possible Ariel. I'm an angel of The Lord. That man in the bookstore, Uriel, he's an angel also. I'm not supposed to be here on Earth. Truthfully, we don't like humans, hate them really. I've never felt emotions in my lifetime, but your presence is making me feel again. Ariel, I need you to understand what I am because I need you." I looked up into Castiel's blue eyes and my heart broke for him. So much pain and sadness his within them. Although I didn't want to admit it, I've never felt this way about anyone before. I honestly didn't care if Castiel was an angel, I just wanted to be with him.

Without saying a word, I crushed my lips to his. For a few moments he didn't respond, he sat there in shock, but when he did, it felt like heaven. Ironic. I dug my hands into his silky brown locks and he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me onto his lap. I felt joy sweep into me. I'm still unsure of what angels can do, but I know that some emotions I'm feeling right now are Castiel's feelings. I pulled away from him. My lips were swollen and burning with heat. His eyes were sparkling when he looked at me. I wanted to crush myself to him again, but I knew we needed to talk about this, him being an angel.

"So what does being an angel mean?" I asked him. He blinked and sighed.

"We can do certain things. I can teleport, restore injuries, smite, and induce emotions into people. All of our power comes from heaven, but unfortunately, my power is diminishing." At the mention of his power he looked away.
