Sometimes Castiel stands in an empty field and reminisces about his childhood. It was different than the other angels', seeing as he was the son of the eldest two archangels. Then the Fall came and everything changed, and he lost his entire family. He had actually adjusted to not having anyone around to help him, but then he met Dean Winchester and his whole world changed. But of course the one human that maybe, just very slightly stirred something in him had to be his father's vessel. Dean Winchester, who was so imperfectly perfect, so unfairly untouchable. Life isn't fair, but then again, for Cas, it never has been.
