The house was quiet. Everyone else had gone to bed. Jo sat at the table staring out the window. The stars shined brightly above her and she wished she could be up there with them. This world was going to hell. Literally. She was terrified. Tomorrow they were hunting the devil. She took another sip of her beer and threw the bottle to the floor where it shattered unceremoniously in a puddle of glass and alcohol. She curled her knees to her chest and buried her face in her arms, silently shaking with tears.
"Why are you upset?"
Jo spun around, wiping tears from her face. "Cas. I uh-"
Cas' head was tilted to the side, his face twisted into a look of worried confusion. "Joanna. You're scared." It wasn't a question.
She nodded. "It's Jo, by the way. Only mom calls me Joanna."
"I'm sorry, Jo." He said quietly.
She smiled at him. He was so innocent and sincere. She could tell simply by his face which currently displayed a look of concern. He stepped towards her and put his arms around her in probably the most awkward hug in history. She laughed and hugged him back, just tight enough for him to figure out how this was supposed to work.
After Jo took the lead, the hug improved dramatically from the awkward my-arms-have-a-mind-of-their-own hug from Cas to an I'm-gonna-hold-on-to-you-and-never-let-you-go hug. Her head rested on his shoulder. He smelled a little like alcohol mixed with something that was extremely comforting. Like home. She thought.
Jo leaned back to look at him. His blue eyes stared back at her intensely and she was glad it was dark so he couldn't see her blush. On pure impulse, she leaned forward and pressed her lips against his. His eyes were huge. A million thoughts ran through his head but he dismissed all of them for this feels rather nice. This was probably not what he should be thinking but he was so he kissed her back.
"Cas…I um…whoa." She mumbled.
"Yes. I think I feel the same way." Dean was right, he was a Nerd Angel.
Jo laughed.
"Joanna."
"Hm?"
"We're going to make it. You know that, right?"
"Yeah, I do. And it's Jo." She said as she laid against his chest and fell asleep.
