My Kind of Angel(Destiel)

Cemetery

Dean made his way towards where his angel was sitting on a stump, his hands pulling apart a fallen leaf.

"Cas," Dean's tone was less confidant than he'd hoped.

Cas paused his fingers, but didn't respond or even bother to look at the hunter.

"We're heading to the cemetery to lock Karma back up. You comin'?"

Cas' jaw clenched as he crushed the dried leaf in his hand before standing.

Dean tensed, his shoulders straightening as he braced for a reaction.

Instead Cas stepped by him and made his way towards where Sam was waiting anxiously by the cars with the other two angels.

Dean wanted to reach out to Cas and apologize, beg for his forgiveness, but instead he followed him to the waiting cars in silence.

"I'm gonna beam ahead, scope the place out," Gabriel said, once the other two arrived.

"Would you mind if I came with you?" Cas asked, a desperation in his eyes.

Gabriel glanced at Castiel then Sam. Sam gave a small nod, careful to avoid his brother's hurt expression.

"Sure, we'll meet the rest of you there," Gabriel put a hand on Cas' shoulder and they were gone.

The brothers and Castiel climbed into the car to follow behind.

The ride was quiet for the first few moments until Castiel spoke up.

"I didn't mean to cause tension between you and...Cas," He glanced over at Dean, who sat in the passenger's seat.

Dean frowned but didn't respond.

"The tension wasn't caused by you Castiel. It was already there," Sam piped in when it was obvious Dean wasn't going to dissuade his guilt.

"Do you fight like this often?" Castiel continued.

"Not really, no," Dean turned his eyes out the passenger side window.

"The distance I mentioned..." Castiel tossed another glance.

"My fault," Dean answered shortly.

"He forgives you. I can tell."

"It's not up to Cas to forgive him," Sam cut in from the backseat then, a glare set on his brother.

"You can't forgive yourself," Castiel nodded in understanding.

"It's complicated," Dean shook his head, a new frustration in his tone.

"It's really not, Dean," Sam snapped. He was tired of watching his brother throw away good things in his life just because he felt like he didn't deserve them.

Dean cut his eyes at his brother.

A tense silence filled the car then and it remained silent for the rest of the ride. Dean couldn't be sure if he was thankful for it or not.

-

"So how long have you and Dean been in love with each other?" Gabriel asked as they walked along the cemetery perimeter.

"We're not," Cas growled.

"Right," Gabriel drawled out, with a roll of his eyes.

"Whatever Dean has going on with your brother has nothing to do with me," Cas snapped. Anger and pain surged in his chest like bad heartburn. He remembered that feeling from being human.

"Castiel and Dean? Please, there's nothing going on there. Dean is way too in love with you. Castiel is just jealous of you."

This gave Cas pause. "What?"

"Cassie tried to be with a human once. Neil...it was messy and it didn't go well. But Dean...well, he gets it. He's a hunter and he loves you. Cassie wants that. He wants to be you."

Cas furrowed his brow. "Dean doesn't love me. Not in that way," he shook his head.

"Right, just like Sam didn't love the other me?" Gabriel raised a brow.

Cas frowned. He wasn't entirely sure about that.

"So maybe you don't know them that well."

"Gabriel is...no longer around. How would I know if Sam ever...it didn't come up. He does seem rather fond of you, but I just assumed he felt guilty for what happened with the other..." Cas shook his head in confusion.

"I'm just saying, at the end of the day, Dean goes home with you," Gabriel nudged Cas' shoulder with his own as he pushed open the cemetery gates. The mausoleum in sight now.

Cas didn't respond to that. What Gabriel didn't know was that Cas wasn't planning on staying once they got home.

-

It didn't take long for the others to reach the cemetery. It had remained empty, thankfully, which meant that Karma would be weak.

"Okay, we have to do the spell in the mausoleum. It takes two to do the spell so the other three have to keep her distracted," Gabriel said, staring down at the spell in his hands.

"She put the angel warding back up and there's no time to take it down and enact the spell. She'll wipe us out before we have the chance," Cas spoke next.

"Sam you've always been good with spell work. You should work on the spell. Cas can-" Dean was cut off before he could finish.

"I'm not good without my grace. I'll help Sam," Gabriel cut in.

Dean's shoulders slumped slightly. He would be working with both Castiel's again. Not exactly his favorite thing.

"She'll be mostly drawn to Dean, his guilt is the strongest. Our job is to keep her from completing any kind of sacrifice and keep her from realizing you two are doing any spell. Us three will go in first. Act like we plan to kill her. While you two stay out here until we have her good and distracted. Then you come in and stay up stairs. Do the spell and hope this works," Castiel began giving out orders.

"What if it doesn't? What if the witch gave you the wrong spell? What if she tricked you?" Dean growled. He was less than happy with Castiel's comment about his guilt being the strongest, even if it was true.

"We make a run for it," Gabriel answered.

"Okay, let's do it," Sam nodded when no on responded. It was now or never.
