December 1st - Greensleeves
“Dean.”
“Yeah, Cas?”
They were all sitting in the Impala on the edge of the highway waiting out a snow storm. Cas could’ve left a long time ago but he hadn’t. The snow gathered in sparkling clusters on the windshield and made the gray world outside look like a painting. The pale light of the radio glinted off the dark leather seats. The only music cutting through the storm was from some weird classical station.
“Dean - what is this song?” Castiel asked.
“Hell if I know. It’s a little creepy if you ask me.”
“It’s ‘Greensleeves,’” said Sam.
“What sleeves?”
“‘Greensleeves.’ It’s an English folk song that dates all the way back to the Middle Ages. But it was used as the tune for a few turn-of-the-century Christmas songs.”
Dean raised his eyebrows.
“Fair enough, Encyclopedia Brown. Damn depressing for Christmas song, though.” He turned his head around to face the back seat. “So now you know, Cas. Ya happy?”
Cas was staring out of the car with his brow furrowed. Dean didn’t know whether it was an effect of the snowflakes on the window, but he could have sworn the angel’s eyes looked wetter than usual.
Voice as quiet as the falling snow, Cas said: "It's beautiful."
Dean supposed it was.
