Lucifer Chronicles

Lazuli

Castiel, Ariel, and Dean were standing in an abandoned warehouse.

"So, when do we do this?" Ariel asked.

"We." Dean pointed to himself and Castiel. "Are doing this."

"At sunrise." Castiel supplied.

"Okay, I know I promised, but you guys can't honestly think I was going to actually let you guys do this without me."

Dean ignored his sister and turned his attention on Castiel.

"Do we have any chance of surviving this?"

"You do." Castiel replied sadly, glancing towards Ariel.

"Wait, you're telling me you're not going to make it?" Ariel brought her full attention on Castiel. "You're going to make me relive your death again? No, no way. We are not doing this."

"You can't stop this from happening. I'm sorry, you know I'm sorry." Castiel put both hands on her shoulders, staring deeply into her eyes.

"Last night on Earth." Dean interrupted, growing uncomfortable. "What are your plans?"

"I thought I'd just sit here." Castiel shrugged.

"Come on! Anything? Booze, women?"

"Dean!" Ariel shouted, slapping his arm.

Castiel only turned away looking embarrassed.

"You... You have been with women before, right? Or an angel, at least?" Dean glanced slightly at his sister hoping he was wrong.

Castiel rubbed the back of his neck, refusing to meet either of the siblings gaze.

"Really?" Ariel tried not to gasp.

"No one? Not even an angel? How? You're gorgeous!"

"You mean to tell me you've never been up there doing a little cloud-seeding?" Dean chose to ignore his sister's comment.

"Look." Castiel sounded a bit embarrassed, and angry. "I've never had an occasion, okay?"

"You are not going to die a virgin, okay? Let's go." Dean began to grab his coat.

"No, okay, nope." Ariel grabbed Dean's jacket from his hand. "You are not taking my innocent angel to a strip club, or somewhere to get him laid!" Ariel shouted. "If he's getting laid with anyone it'd be me!" Her cheeks turned bright red once she realized what she had shouted.

Dean sighed. "I can't believe I'm doing this." He grabbed his coat back and left the room.

"Sorry." Ariel sighed. It was her turn to be embarrassed now.

"I am not quite sure how to react in a time like this. We have kissed before, but it feels like a new thing. Like we haven't." Castiel stepped closer.

"Well, technically." Ariel met him half way. "You did die and come back to life, So I haven't kissed you yet."

Castiel glanced down towards Ariel, their faces inching closer together. "Are you sure this is okay?"

Ariel felt his hot breath on her face as she nodded. "Of course it's okay."

Castiel placed one hand on her lower back, the other on her face, tilting it ever so slightly towards himself.

Their lips met, and not in a soft, gentle kiss like they both expected. There was electricity coursing through their bodies with each touch, causing the kiss to become more frenzied.

Castiel pushed Ariel until the back of her legs met the bed, causing both of them to fall. However, that didn't stop them.
Castiel felt something snap within himself, and couldn't stop from kissing down her neck. The moans emitting from her mouth only spurred him on more.

"Wait, wait, wait." Ariel pushed Castiel's shoulder back. "I don't want to do this just because you might not make it. I want this to be special, and because well, because I love you."

Castiel looked down at Ariel, in shock. "L-love?"

"I understand if you don't say it back. It might be hard considering emotions are new to you. I'm fine waiting."

Castiel smiled, actually smiled, back down at her. He pressed his lips to hers again. "I want to do this because it's special. Not because Dean said I can't die a virgin."

Ariel laughed. "Bringing my brother up isn't how you get laid, featherbutt."

Back in the bar, Sam was cleaning up some trash.

"Hey Sam." A man called out, but Sam ignored him.

Erin shot Sam a pointed look.

"Sam." The man called again.

"Sam? What happened to Keith?" Lindsay asked.

"Uh, it's his middle name." Erin covered quickly.

"Keith Sam?" Lindsay scoffed. She had been unfriendly with Erin since she revealed they were married.

"Well, actually, it's Samuel, so it's not as dumb as it sounds." One of the men, Tim, covered.

Erin brought the men over a round of drinks.

"Guys, this is my wife, Erin." Sam introduced.

Erin gave a shy wave.

"Erin, this is Tim, Reggie, and Steve." Sam motioned to each man respectively.

"Married? Wow, congrats." Tim smiled. "So, this must be why Bobby told us you were off limits."

"Yeah, sorry." Sam scratched the back of his neck.

"Even though we really shouldn't be." Erin scoffed, crossing her arms.

"You're a hunter?" Reggie asked.

Erin cocked an eyebrow, a smirk on her face. "One of the best!"

"I approve of this one, Sam!" Steve gave a hearty laugh.
