Hi!

Ok, this one is slash of the Dean and Castiel kind. I've written a few canon one-shots and wanted another fluffy one to do. This is chapter 1 of an unknown number of chapters...

My OC will make an appearance. His name is Nathaniel and he is introduced in A Fly By. I'd recommend you read that, just because he's better explained there. He is an angel and a very good friend of Castiel. I'm thinking about bringing back Gabriel, but I'm not sure yet...

Please review after, I love hearing your opinions!

Enjoy!

Onwards...

'Wait! Don't go!' But of course, Castiel was already gone.

Dean Winchester sighed, his arms hanging uselessly by his side, staring at the place which his angel had been in seconds earlier.

He and Cas had been staying in some claptrap old motel on the side of the road in the isolated town they had pitched up in the day before. It had been pitch dark when they pulled up, Dean stubbing his toe on the doorframe. Castiel had let out a very unfamiliar chuckle, before gently leading Dean in the right way through the door. With the motel being old and the heating being broken, they had slept together, huddled close beneath the blankets as the fog rolled in outside.

The angel had to leave suddenly because in the early hours of this morning Sam had called. The younger Winchester was staying with Bobby for a few days; the two bookworms going through the older hunters entire collection of old books. Dean and Cas had gladly opted out. Now, three days and a lot of cups of coffee later, Sam had called, requesting that he joined them; the angel and the hunter were scouting the town for possible hunts.

Now, tearing his eyes away from the spot Castiel wasn't, he sat heavily on the sofa, twiddling the object he had found on his pillow in his hands. The pristine white feather, bigger than any bird feather he had even seen, glistened in the sunlight leaking through the net curtains. He had found it this morning, just after he had been woken by a smiling face, the bright blue eyes his own little rays of sunshine. The angel had leant over to kiss him, gently caressing the side of his face, before leaving the bed, walking softly into the small kitchen to make Dean a coffee. Dean had smiled, turning his face, something unfamiliar tickling it.

Now, looking down at the feather, Dean smiled. He wondered what had been going through his angels mind when he had left him his feather. Love? Affection? Aggravation because he was moulting and needed a way to get rid of his feathers? Whatever the reason, Dean was glad he had been left this gift. It meant a lot to him.

He looked up, his hair blowing everywhere as his angel and brother suddenly appeared in the room in front of him. Sam looked slightly queasy; apparently he still hadn't got used to angel travel.

'Hey Cas' Dean stood up, planting a kiss on his angel's lips. Cas smiled into the kiss.

'Hey bro' Dean reached for his brother, who took an automatic step backwards.

'Oh no. Don't you dare kiss me!' he warned, smiling.

Dean held up his hands, grinning back at his brother.

He turned back to Castiel, reaching behind him to pick up the feather. He spoke in a hushed tone, just in case Sam overheard.

'Hey, um, thanks for leaving me this. It means a lot'

Castiel cocked his head. 'Dean, I didn't leave you anything.' He said seriously, wondering what Dean had found.

'But, this is yours, right?' Dean held out the feather, the angel watching warily.

'Where did you get that?' asked Cas, not reaching out for the feather, which Dean thought was strange.

'It was on my pillow. You left it for me, didn't you?'

'No. I didn't.'

'Why don't you take it?' Dean grabbed the angel's hand, pressing the feather into it before he had even a chance to snatch his hand away. 'Have a closer look. Who else would be leaving me feathers?'

'Dean no!' the angel tried to squirm away.

But it was too late. Seconds later, Dean stood watching the angel, who was now looking in alarm at the feather clasped in his hand.

Sam stood watching the scene with amusement, at what he thought was a lovers quarrel.

Although, by looking at the expression on Castiel's face, this was turning into something much more.

'Dean.' Breathed the angel.

'You have no idea what you've just done'

Just what has Dean just done?
