Drabble #17
caz2y5 wanted more Mal/Castiel with the word prompt 'take'. Continued from here.

“Let me see 'em again,” Mal demands and Castiel doesn't like how Mal somehow manages to sneak up on him.
He's sitting up on the bridge as he's wont to do when there's no one else there, toying with one of Wash's dinosaurs and staring out at the vast amount of nothing before them. But there are stars and planets and the ingenuity of man which isn't nothing at all and all that continues to fascinate Castiel. Much like the man who now stands behind him with arms crossed, stern and likely prepared for rejection. It's the first time Mal has spoken to him in three days. Castiel could not reject him.
The shadow of his wings fill the bridge and for a moment Mal appears unmoved. Then he reaches forward, somehow finds where Castiel's wing is solid and plucks out a feather to Castiel's sharp “Ow” at the sting.
Between Mal's thumb and forefinger, the feather becomes more than a shadow and tinges to a dark blue when Mal holds it to the light. It looks no more fantastic than a Raven's feather.
“You owe me something,” Mal explains and Castiel gives a single nod before Mal turns and walks off the bridge. For all the time he took to find Mal and all the men he failed to save, Castiel can give him this.
