Doya : Family matters

Doya: Family matters

A/N : I was feeling my little Castiel, and since he decided to speak, I gave him a little bit of space.

Xxxxxxx

Castiel was investigating a potential case involving angels. Metatron, while dealt with for once and for all, wasn't the only issue Angels had to deal with. Out of the four archangels, Michael was certainly the most dangerous of them all and the last one alive. He was the most faithful son of God and his love and loyalty had proven to be very extreme. Most of Heaven, if not all of them were scared of him and most of Hell if not all felt the very same way. Castiel respected him, he also did fear him but he trusted that this time, maybe his older brother did calm down. Heaven was in turmoil, but perhaps, it had nothing to do with angels this time and everything to do with demons. The angel crouched on the floor as he noticed traces of what seemed to be a fight that broke between angels and demons.  that made him furrow his brows as he analyzed the crime scene. He was studying it carefully when his phone started to ring.

Castiel wasn't that good with technology, but he improved his knowledge and even bought a new phone. The ringtone was the one he gave Oya and it made him stop for a minute and grab the phone. His eyes warmed up at her name and he stood back up. Oya and Castiel had rocky beginnings but Time allowed for the two of them to improve their relationship and consider each other as family. With her, he was different, less emotionally constipated because she was relentless and would never let him go without having him say his piece. With her, There was something easy about Oya, about the way she came into their lives and changed everything. It probably had something to do with her bubbly personality or perhaps the fact she bloomed when she felt completely safe. It had a way to influence others. He noticed the subtle changes in the brothers and the way they carried themselves.

Were they Happy? Perhaps. He couldn't quite understand human emotions, but he would bet his set of wings that they were with her. His attention focused especially on Dean. On the way, he was acting. When Dean went on a mission with him, it happened that he was thinking of bringing Oya something, or he thought of a comeback or something she would have said in the same situation. He was talking about going home, finding her, spending time with her. He was projecting into the future. And while that future was simply the next 24 hours when he's back, it still was the future. Dean was a hardcore hunter. He understood that this life was a very lonely life and for years he had done his best to keep himself from endangering people he loved. He had denied happiness and he pretty much gave up on that.

Yet, here she was. Oya came like a wrecking ball, destroying the self-pity and misery that sometimes entrapped the three men of that family. She came in with Hopes, fears and a genuine vulnerability that brought the best out of them. That made him smile, The last picture he saw of the three of them was of Oya standing between the brothers who made fun of her short height. Dean took the selfie -because Oya couldn't capture all 3 of them- and she sent it to Castiel, with a « come home soon I can't control these two. » caption. And he could see by the face Dean was making, that he was happy. Genuinely happy and had found a reason to go forward.

The angel knew they both were deeply in love with the other. When He worked cases with Oya, she checked on the brothers, talked with Dean, talked about Dean and expressed her desire to go home through simple sentences. He could tell when Dean and Oya were together, working cases or being at home. He could tell by their body language and the fact they first cared for the other. They became more than just friends, or partners, they became a family and Castiel found himself trapped within this huge web of feelings too. He didn't want anything bad to happen to her, ever and just like he wanted the brothers to be safe and happier, he wanted Oya to be happy and remain so. So when he saw her name and heard her ringtone, it put the angel at ease and made him smile.  with a calm voice, the angel replied: 

« Hello? »
