Always Keep Fighting

Christmas Spirit

     Raven woke up on the bright white couch covered with Castiel's coat. Looking out of the window she noted it must be late with how dark the night sky was. She stood, sliding her arms into the oversized jacket and wrapping it tightly around her as she walked through the kitchen and out onto the balcony that overlooked the city. The city sparkled with the lights twinkling below. The moon was glowing like a pale yellow ball in the sky. In its shadow was Moya's second moon glowing but not as brightly. The sight simply took her breath away.

She felt a presence behind her but didn't have to turn around to know who it was.

"Hey, Cas."

"I like my coat on you."

Turning to see his smile caused her to smile in return.

"It is quite warm, it fights of the night's cold with ease. Only, I don't know how you wear this thing all of the time." She said hugging it tighter around her, breathing in his scent.

He shrugged at her comment.

"It kind of just became my thing, I guess."

"Not saying it's a bad look, lord knows it definitely works for you, but I think we should try a new look on you some time." She suggested.

"I'd like that." He smiled stepping next to her looking out over the city.

She turned back to the scenery, took her phone from her back pocket and framed the city in the screen.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" she asked as she snapped a few pictures.

"Yes. So beautiful." Castiel replied.

She looked over to him realizing he was staring at her. She gave a shy smile as she slipped her phone into his coat pocket and hugging it against her again.

She stared into the night sky thinking to herself. Everything she was thinking about the night before and how she broke down before he came to her room. Closing her eyes for a second, taking a deep breath as she turned towards him.

"Cas," she started causing him to look back to her. She had tears threatening to spill over her eyes.

He grabbed one of her arms pulling her into his,

"You don't have to say anything." He said holding her close.

She allowed herself to relax against his chest as he embraced her, holding onto her as if he never wanted to let her go. She shivered as a cold breeze blew her hair in her face. She nuzzled her face into his chest to fight the breeze as it suddenly disappeared. She looked up to see Castiel's beautiful golden wings wrapped closed around her, engulfing her in their warm golden glow.

     Gabriel stood in the dark kitchen peering out onto the balcony watching his little brother wrap Raven in his wings. His sense of pride grew at the thought of Castiel finding love, even if she was completely stubborn about accepting it. Watching him grow into the celestial being that he is today has been one of his most favorite things. He was so proud of him, though he'd never admit that to anyone.

"You won't have to admit it to anyone, I already know." Michael said stepping next to Gabriel.

Gabriel's arms were crossed as he stood there; he looked over to Michael nodding his head.

"And to think that dad wanted him dead at one point." He stated.

"That's because Chuck knew Castiel was better than him. Better than all of us. He just has to see that for himself." With those words, Michael turned and walked away.

Gabriel nodded in agreement, smiled and followed suit leaving his little brother to fall deeper for the only female that had ever caused him to feel emotions as deeply as he does now.
