Summary: When given his duty of guarding the First Seal, Castiel expects the Righteous Man and his Boy King brother. He does not expect to find two boys who fight and tease and defend each other over and over again. While Castiel may know a lot about fate and destiny, he’s about to learn a little bit about free will.
Author Note: This story wouldn't be half of what it is if it weren't for my amazing betas, mb64 and
katzenspn. They are both a delight to work with and have been a huge help in pointing out my Britishisms and generally highlighting the numerous times I've written something completely idiotic. Any mistakes that remain are wholly mine as I honestly think these two girls can't go wrong.
Another huge thank you to the artist that collaborated with me:
uke_sama_sensei. Her artwork truly brings this story to life and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her. Her art masterpost can be found here.
