~*A few weeks after the last chapter*~
Nobody's POV
So, Crowely has begun to become a problem. His throwing the Winchesters all over the country on hunts. Half of them they don't even bring Castiel on. Afraid another hunter may try to kill him or think the brothers are going soft or are weak. Today was one of the hunts they brought Cas with them. It was a bunch of punk demons trashing and scaring a town up north.
They all piled into the Impala and headed out. Castiel not wearing his usual trench coat and suit. He was in some black jeans and a band shirt with a hoodie over that. The brothers a while back decided they trusted Cas with a gun cause they didn't want anyone to see Cas ganking monsters with his powers. Dean taught him how to load and unload a gun in the fastest ways and how to take one apart and put it back together. Dean also taught Cas how to shoot all of their guns. The private lessons helped their bond build stronger. Them hanging out on a regular basis, joking around and laughing.
This hunt felt different. Like something was going to happen. Castiel didn't know if it would be a good or bad different, but he didn't know if they would be completely prepared.
They were only a couple hours away from the town and Cas started to feel something, a pulling. "Guys, I will be right back." Cas says and vanishes.
Dean was sleeping next to him, his head on his shoulder. Well, that was until Cas just up and left, Dean falling over and jumping up,"Sonofabitch......" he murmurs and rubs his eyes.
Sam and Charlie laugh but are a bit worried at Castiels recent actions. Why would he just leave like that? Was something wrong? Was he hiding something, or did he not know himself? They try to push those negative thoughts to the backs of their heads, not wanting to worry too much right now. The three of them end up going to a motel a couple towns outside of the area with all the demons. There, they began to create a plan.

When Cas left, he didnt know exactly where he was going. He just knew something or someone was calling to him. When he decided on where he was going, he opened his eyes. Cas was standing in a tavern. It looked a bit run down, but it was still in business. Must have been after-hours cause there where no lights on except a few lights in the back. Castiel began to walk over there when he heard a chair scratch against the floor, signaling somebody getting up. As Cas walked over, footsteps also walked his way. When he reached the door, he reached for the handle, but the person on the other side beat him to it. the door opens, revealing a small pudgy man. he was grinning up to castiel,"Well hello there. My name is Metatron. It is nice to meet you Castiel. I'm glad you heard my call." The man says and reaches out his hand.
"You mean to say you where the one to call me? How? What are you?" Cas says skeptically, shaking Metatrons hand.
"Oh, I am just like you, a mere angel of the lord. A solider of god. I just wanted to show you something." Metatron says as he lightly guides Castiel into the room he came from.
It was an office, books and papers covering every surface available. Some books looked relevantly new, but some also looked extremely old, thick paper and ripping pages. " I love books. I love looking at how much the human race has improved and changed over the years. There will always be something for them to make up to write about." Metatron smiles and runs his fingers over some random book.
"Yes. I can understand. It is quite impressive. How much they have cha-" Castiel began to say but Metatron cut him off.
"Ok, OK. That is not what I brought you here for. I want to warn you. This so 'hunt' you are going on, somebody is not going to come out as they came." Metatron smirks and brings his hand up to Castiels forehead.
"But what do you me-"Cas begins to say but as Metatron touches him, then opens his eyes to be standing outside a motel door.
He walks up and knocks, not really knowing what to expect. When the door opens, he lets out a sigh of relief he didn't know he was holding. Dean stands in the doorway, a look of relief on his face as he pulls Cas into the room. "Where the hell have you been?" Dean asks as he checks all over Cas to see if he was hurt.
"I don't really know. But I am fine, I was not injured. Don't worry about me, do you guys have a plan on how we are going to hunt these demons?" Cas asks, trying to get off that topic.
"Oh hey Cas. Well, we haven't made a clean plan, but we know where they are and the places they mostly hit." Sam says and points around a map of the town.
"Ok. I will go and scope the area. I'll be back." Cas says but Dean stops him.
"Wait. Why leave? Why go by yourself? Just stay and hang out with us." Dean begged and Cas gave in.
"Fine. Whatever. I'm tired anyways." Cas says and everyone agrees.
They all end up sitting around the little T.V in their room watching movies. Cas, Sam and Dean all chilled on the couch and Charlie layed on the love seat by herself. "Guys? What if I told you I met someone?" She says casually and they all look at her.
"I would say I hope you both do well." Sam smiles and Dean scoffs.
"I don't care. As long as you guys aren't too loud." Dean smirks and Cas pushes him.
"Dean! Not appropriate. Charlie, as long as she makes you happy and helps you prosper, she is fine by me." Cas smiles and Charlie sits up a bit.
"How do you know it was a girl?" Charlie asks skeptically.
"Oh. Umm...I can...sorta read minds. And you have been thinking about a long brown haired girl for a while now." Cas blushes and Charlie gasps.
"Are you kidding me?! You have been reading my mind......oh gosh. I am so sorry you have to see inside this coconut." Charlie laughs and looks over at Dean.
"You ok bud? You look a little pale." She says and Cas looks at Dean.
"Have you read my mind?" Dean asks softly.
"No. I try not to read minds, but Charlie's thoughts where extremely loud and repetitive I had to listen. Why?" Cas asks and Dean seems to relax a bit.
"Oh nothing. Let's finish this movie." Dean smiles and leans against Cas, his head on Castiel's shoulder.
They finish their movie and get ready for bed. "Who's sleeping with who? There are only two beds and there is four of us. Someone could also sleep on the couch." Sam casually asks as he makes sure his stuff is neatly put away and organized.
"I don't care. As long as you guys are comfortable." Dean says and begins to get blankets.
"I'll sleep on the couch." Cas says but Sam stops him.
"No Cas. You should probably sleep with me, I think another storm is brewing outside." Sam says and Cas tenses, walking over to Sams bed and sits down next to him.
"Guess I'm sleeping on the couch. Goodnight guys." Dean mumbles and walks to the couch.
He looks back and sees Cas wrap his arms around Sams arm, snuggling his face into his biceps. His blood boiled a bit, but quickly remembered the talk they had a while back. But that memory left once the thunder started. Cas was practically on top of Sam within minutes. That should be Dean, not Sam holding Cas. Comforting him. But no, Dean is a nervous ball of weird when he is close to Cas. But it didn't mean he didn't wanna still do it. The sight of Cas in somebody else's arms made his skin crawl.
