Monday: Hurt/Comfort

[drabblewriter]

Hello, comment_fic friends! I’m drabblewriter, jazzed to be your benevolent overlord for the week, and our first theme is my personal favorite fic genre, hurt/comfort. Today's the day we put our faves through the emotional and/or physical wringer, then send someone in to make them feel a bit better.

Just a few rules:No more than five prompts in a row

Fill, Supernatural, Castiel/Dean Winchester

[untldeathtakeme]

Castiel stared at the tub of steaming water, bubbles frothing. They were passing an exhausted night post-Hunt in the hotel owned by a lady for whom they had just cleared out a nasty ghost infestation. A few demons too. Castiel had seen the particular tension with which Dean carried his shoulders as he drove to the place, the set of his jaw signaling something on his body was hurting him, but he wasn't about to admit it.

If not for the sweet old lady, he doubted Dean would have consented to stopping for the night . But he had, and while Castiel still wasn't sure about a lot when it came to humans and their fragile bodies, he could see tension. He knew Dean liked long hot showers post-Hunt, or after a long drive, or after...

He felt his the skin under this shirt collar grow heated as he considered what his mind had been about to end that sentence with. As if summoned by his less than holy thoughts, Dean appeared in the bathroom, naked but for boxer shorts as he was too stubborn to turn on the AC until it became truly intolerable. Dean's eyes grew wide at the sight of the hot water.

"That's a jacuzzi tub." he stated.

Castiel blinked. "I...is that different from bathtubs?" In his and the Winchester's lives, they were lucky to see a clean shower, much less a bathtub, so it was hardly a stretch to imagine Castiel wouldn't be familiar with bathtub distinctions.

"I just know you're stiff and sore and...hot showers always help. This isn't a shower but it's still hot and I thought-" he was cut off by a splash, and Dean's boxers in the doorway.

The look on Dean's face as he slid into the hot water was worth any and all confusion, as was the smile he directed at Castiel.

"You did this for me, huh?"

Castiel nodded.

"Why don't you get in here yourself and I'll see if I can do something for you?"

Awww, I love this :) Cas is so sweet, taking care of Dean, and Dean accepting it for once <3 Beautifully done :)

Was Cas out of character, you think? (I've only dabbled in writing SPN, and SPN is a secondhand fandom for me...)

You may be amused to know I tried, tried so hard to make this Dean/Crowley, it just wouldn't flow.

No, I don't think Cas was out of character, Cas will always prioritize Dean and do his best to take care of him :)

Dean/Crowley, my other favorite :) hehe
