Angelic Love- A Castiel Love Story

Chapter Sixteen

Dean smiles and laughs at Castiel, then calls out to Robin, "You can come back in now!"

"Alright!" she yells back. Then, she walks into the room. "So what were you guys talking about?" She looks expectantly at Dean, who looks towards Castiel.

Cas freezes for a second, looking back at Dean with pleading eyes. "Nope, you lost 'not it', now you have to tell her," Dean says to him.

"But... But..." Castiel begs.

"Nope. All you bro," Dean smiles like he's just accomplished something.

"Fine," he turns to Robin. "Robin, since your mother is now dead because of us, we've decided that we need to take you in since you are not yet old enough to live by yourself."

She's silent for a moment while she stares at her feet. She shifts her stance to her other foot and looks at Cas, then Sam, then Dean. "Really?" She sounds unsure. 

"Yeah. We're really sorry, but this is our only option. You don't have any other family, do you?" Sam asks.

"Not really, unless you count my cousins who live in Austria."

"Haha, no. But, are you okay with this? Are you fine with living with some random men who just showed up, killed demons, and introduced you to the supernatural side of life?" Sam says.

"I'm not sure... Could I have a day to think?"

Sam starts to respond, but quickly Dean cuts him off, "Yeah sure. But we're going to leave Cas with you just in case you need anything."

"Uh, okay," she awkwardly responds.

Castiel walks towards Dean and pulls him away. "But... Deeaaaannnnn... I want to stay with you."

Dean smirks, "You need to stay with Robin. We can't just be leaving her alone. Besides, I think she actually likes you."

Cas looks at the ground and meekly says, "Fine. But I like you, Dean. That won't be changed by her..."

They walk back into the room and see Sam and Robin talking. When they see Cas and Dean, they stop. "So what's the plan?" Sam asks.

"Cas is going to stay with Robin tonight and make sure that she's alright. Right, Cas?" Dean tells him, then sits down next to Sam.

Castiel sighs, "Right Dean."

Robin smiles hugely, "Thank you, Cas!"

He looks up at her and smiles back, "You're welcome, Robin."

Sam and Dean stand up at the table, then push their chairs back in. "Hey, Cas, Robin, we're gonna head out, okay?" Sam says.

"Yeah," Robin smiles. 

She runs over towards them and hugs them tightly. "Thank you guys so much. For everything."

Dean looks down a his coat when he feels something cold and wet touching his skin. He realizes Robin is crying, and it's soaking through his flannel. Sam notices the same thing. "Hey," he rubs her back, "it's going to be okay."

"I know. This is just-" she sniffles, "all too much."

"I can imagine. But it'll all be alright. We're here for you, Robin," He responds, still rubbing her back. She hugs them tighter.

"We have to go now. We'll see you tomorrow, okay?" Dean tells her.

She sniffs again, "Yeah. Okay. Bye Sam. Bye Dean."

"Bye Robin," they both head towards the door. Then, they open it and walk out, leaving Castiel and Robin in awkward silence.

Robin, still crying, walks towards Castiel and wraps her arms around him. She shakes every time a sound slips from her mouth. He hugs her back, trying to calm her. "Hey, it's alright. Just calm down."
