Love is a weird thing. Castiel has seen countless nations rise and fall, seen billions of people die in what to him is just the blink of an eye. He's seen millions of people getting killed by their own kind. He's seen thousands and thousands of people die from just one person, each of the deaths covering their hands with blood and leaving a stain on their soul that could never be washed off. Castiel himself has killed just as many by the touch of a finger tip. He's seen all of this, and yet he's never given it much thought before now. Before he had to face death firsthand. *Characters are not mine nor is the artwork. All artwork belongs to various creators.
