Candy : So… You’re not too sorry to have given up your life as a single rock star to end up here with me ?
Castiel : You’re joking, right? If I had to do it all over again, I’d do it all the same… except that I’d find you a lot sooner.
Candy : Oh, well… Because you didn’t enjoy your “groupie years”? It must not have been sad, on tour…
Castiel : I… It was… Do we have to talk about this? It’s in the past, and it means nothing to me.
Candy : All right, relax, my love. I’m just curious, that’s all.
Candy : And I’m the one wearing your ring on my finger, remember ?
Castiel : Yes… It’s just that… Personally, I don’t want to know too much about your love life from that time.
Candy : She’ll remain a mystery, then. No problems. I didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable.
Castiel : I’m fine… What I was trying to say, perhaps a little clumsily, was that…
Castiel : There haven’t been that many, you know, and above all… You’re the only one who ever counted.
Candy : Oh… Like… You fell in love with me at first sight ?
Castiel : Let’s calm down. I’d remind you that the first time I saw you, you were on a mission for Nath.
Candy : Do you remember this ?!
Castiel : Yeah… Of course, there are better ways of presenting yourself. But I’d be lying…
Castiel : … If I told you that you left me insensitive. And then I got to know you. You were always full of energy…
Castiel : You were prickly. You didn’t let anyone get you down, but you were always looking out for others. And I liked that.
Castiel : After a while, I found it hard to think of anything but you… and me. The two of us.
Candy : Oh, how cute… I’d be lying too if I said I didn’t like you at first sight.
Castiel : Were you already under spell? You can tell me now, you know…
Candy : No! I found you arrogant and far too sure of yourself. But…
Candy : You had that slightly unapproachable rebellious side.
Candy : It was clear that high school was just a stage for you.
Candy : And that one day, all this attitude would evolve into something more mature.
Castiel : Hey, I wasn’t that immature ! I already had responsibilities. My group at the time…
Castiel : And I was looking after Demon !
(At the mention of his first dog, he became quieter again).
Candy : I know, I’m teasing you… a little.
Candy : But Pancake and I measure our luck, you know.
Candy : You’ve become the best version of yourself !
(He leaned towards me with a smile, and a slightly moist eye. We kissed tenderly.)
(We won’t be stretched out again until later. At worst, we won’t sleep. So what ?)
(I suppose we must have fallen asleep…)
