Up and Down

Woken by a small sound of alarm, Dean rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "You okay?" he asked the flustered-looking angel sitting propped up on the bed beside him.

Without making eye-contact, Castiel raised his paperback to display the cover.

Dean sighed. "We agreed you weren't gonna read those."

"I was curious about your life before we met," said Castiel. "I just didn't think it would all be so..." He made an awkward, vague motion with one hand.

"Awesome?" suggested Dean.

"Probably R rated!" hissed Sam from the other bed. "Whatever it is, keep it down, I'm trying to sleep!"
