Chapter Text
Castiel had never gotten one before. He felt whole and yet like half of him was missing as he turned it in his hand. It sparkled and shined like nothing he had ever seen. Cas had no clue what to do with it, should he put it into a shoe box and throw it into the back of his closet, or should he keep it into his pocket and stare at it every chance he got? (Castiel loved the way the color matched his eyes)
“Hey Cas, whatcha got there?” Anna had flown to the same cloud Cas was sitting on.
“Oh nothing,” He quickly shoved the brilliant blue half stone into his pocket. “Just something that kinda, I don’t know showed up today.”
Anna sighed as she flopped down on the cloud next to Castiel landing face down. “I’ve got a problem,”
Castiel turned toward her but just kept thinking about the stone. “What is it Anna,”
“I just feel weighted down from always following these orders, no matter how cruel, stressful, and unjust they are. Sometimes, I just, I want to be able to make my own choices….”
At this point in the conversation, Castiel had started to drift off and concentrate on only the stone. Who could this possible be from? Why have I never gotten one before? What is so different about now?
“Castiel, are you even listening to me?” Castiel could hear the annoyance in her voice. “I listened to you and your problems when you were feeling stressed. I even almost fell trying to save your ass when you almost fell for Balthazar just yesterday.”
“I know, I know, and I thank you,” Cas was interrupted by his thoughts going back to the sparkly stone.
“Cas, I really need to talk to you, I need to get these things off my chest. I don’t know what to do any more.” She sat up and looked Castiel in the eyes. Castiel didn’t realize that she was even talking, for his mind had drifted once again.
Anna shook her head, turned, and flew away.
“I’m sorry…..” He tried, but it was too late Anna was gone.
Cas pulled out the stone and started to turn it in his hands once again. Who could this possibly belong to? Cas mind wandered. Could this be a joke? Could this be from Michael as a test? I did almost fall. Yes, that’s what it is. It’s a test from Michael, to see where my loyalties lie. As Cas thought this, he slipped the stone in his pocket.
After about a moment of frantically trying NOT to think about the beautiful, shiny, smooth, half stone.
But maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t from Michael. And maybe, it was from someone, someone who is looking for a soul mate to fit with the other half of this stone.
