Adopting A Cat

Prompt from anon: Cas finding a kitty and taking it to his house. His friend, dean, says it's stupid but thinks it's adorable. Ends up loving the cute little thing

'

“What shall I call you?” Cas cooed as he scooped up the curious little ball of fur in his hands and cradled it close to his chest. “What are you? A Robert? A John?”

The kitten meowed and sent Cas’ whole world spinning. He had never had a pet before, his parents had been allergic, but when he found the lost little creature on the sidewalk a couple blocks from his house he decided it was time to give it a try. No one had been around looking for the cat and it had had its head stuck in a garbage can. Castiel took it on himself to give the precious creature a home.

“No, I can’t give you a name that doesn’t mean something.” Cas carefully ran his fingers through the soft black hair that covered the kitten in an almost cocoon. “What about…” Castiel thought about his own name and how it was named after an angel. “Gabriel?”

The kitten started to purr and squirm so that its little head was nuzzling into Cas’ chest. A grin formed on the human’s face as he settled instantly on the name and held this beating thing against him protectively. The way that the kitten already trusted Cas was making him blush. Nothing in the world seemed to measure up to the way this fragile kitten was burrowing itself against Cas and sending warmness throughout his entire being.

A knock at the door interrupted the moment.

“Yes?” Cas called as he rocked the kitten and made his way from the living room toward his front door.

“It’s me! I brought the movie!”

Cas grinned to himself as he looked over the kitten again. He wondered if Dean would like the newest addition to the Novak household. Although Dean wasn’t really one to take a liking to anything openly adorable, Cas had a feeling that Gabriel was about to change his mind.

“Come on in. I just put the popcorn in the microwave.”

The door opened and his best friend and neighbor Dean Winchester waltzed into the house like he did every Thursday for their tradition movie night. Castiel watched carefully over the green eyes of his friend as they fell upon the bundle of purring fur in his arms. Dean instantly stopped walking and stared up at Cas with some confusion.

“What is that?”

“What does it look like?” Cas let his eyes drop back to Gabriel and he started to hum down lightly. “His name is Gabriel.”

“Really, Cas? A cat?” Dean puffed out skepticism as he stepped forward to get a closer look of the loud obnoxious thing. But Dean saw the way Cas’ eyes lit up with every little movement from Gabriel. He saw the way Cas swayed almost unconsciously and hummed to the little kitten. Dean hated to admit it, but he enjoyed watching Cas get so worked up over something as simple as a kitten.

“I found him, but maybe he found me.” Cas flushed and ran a finger over the kitten’s head to softly start rubbing against one of his ears.

“That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.” Dena snorted, but when he saw the look of hurt on Cas’ face he immediately felt guilty. “I mean, cheesiest. But that is how you are, so I guess it shouldnt surprised me. Did you buy it any food?”

Cas shook his head and started to extend his hands and the kitten forward toward Dean’s chest in the hopes that holding the kitten would soften Dean up. Dean took a step back but knew that he could escape this, not with the look that was in Cas’ eyes. With a deep breath, Dean rolled his eyes and took the kitten in his hands. Immediately Gabriel started to purr louder than ever and nestle himself warmly in Dean’s hands before shutting it’s golden eyes.
