Could you do a Cas imagine please? I couldn't find any Castiel ones!

Hi. I wasn’t sure what you were after, so I hope this is alright!

It was the sound of pacing footsteps that woke you, pulling you out from the depths of sleep. Pushing the covers away, you squinted into the centre of the motel room, blinking the sleep from your eyes. “Cas?” you muttered groggily, attempting to prop yourself up on your elbows. Immediately, Castiel stopped his laps of the room and turned to look at you.

“Y/N. I hope I did not wake you. I am truly sorry if I have done so,” he apologised, a guilty look on his face.

“No, no, it’s fine,” you replied, running a hand over your face. You figured you wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep now, so you might as well talk to him. “What’s up?”

“What makes you suspect something is wrong?”

“Well,” you began, “you’ve practically worn away the carpet with all that pacing. People don’t generally do that unless something’s wrong. So spill,” you finished, sitting up properly now and patting the bed beside you. Cas warily eyed the spot you had indicated, before perching himself uneasily on the edge of your bed.

“It’s just…with this fading grace, none of you are going to need me anymore. I don’t know what use I’ll be. With anything,” he told you, his gaze directed at the faded patterns covering the motel floor.

“Cas,” you said, gently placing your hand on his arm, “What are you talking about? We’re a team. You, me, Sam and Dean. Team Free Will. Of course we need you! You’re amazing. And honestly? We probably wouldn’t be here anymore if it wasn’t for you.”

“That’s the thing,” Cas said heavily, finally turning to look at you. “Everything I’ve ever done has been because of my powers, the powers that come with being an angel. With my grace gone…I’ll be left with nothing. I’ll be nothing.”

In that moment, he looked so distressed, so hopeless, and you could feel your heart aching for him. You thought back over everything he’d done for the three of you - raising Dean from Hell, healing you all on multiple occasions, giving you insider information on the angels’ plans. All of those things had only been possible because of his grace. But then you thought of other things, things that had nothing to do with him being an angel, and everything to do with him being Cas.

“Listen to me, Cas,” you said firmly. “You will never be nothing to us. You know why? Because your powers aren’t the only reason we keep you around.” Cas looked doubtful, so you continued. “You want to know why we care about you? Because you’re loyal, and kind and protective. On so many occasions, you’ve given up everything for us. You’re a good person, and you do everything you can to rectify the mistakes you make. And all of those things are why you’ll never be nothing. Because you’re incredible.”

Cas was gazing at you with a mix of gratitude and amazement, as well as a heavy dose of compassion. It was then that you realised that Cas had probably never been told anything like that before. He was always Castiel, a warrior, an angel of the Lord, someone expected to have immense power. But here you were, telling him that it’s okay for him to just be Cas, a sweet and caring guy. And because of it, he was looking at you like you’d given him the world.

“Y/N,” he choked out, reaching for your hand and clasping it tightly, “You have no idea how much those words mean to me. I am…very privileged to have the three of you in my life.” Your face softened into a smile, and you looked back at him fondly.

“We love you too, Cas. But if you ever wake me up early again,” you warned, “I will kick your arse.”

Thanks for reading! I know I keep saying it, but I’m going to get back into regular updates. I only have one week left of term two, and then I have two weeks off. So I should clear out my inbox then. And I’m really sorry if you’ve been waiting on a request!
