"He hurried forward, glancing at the shops on his left- and there it was, a warm, inviting cafe like an oasis in a freezing desert. The light pouring out from behind the closed shutters was, at that moment, Castiel’s idea of heaven."
"He froze at the sight of Castiel standing hesitantly in the doorway. For one long, shocked moment, they stared at each other with the whirls and waves of the Melancholia hung between them like a shimmering, translucent veil."
"Castiel looked at him, his elegant suit and elegant surroundings that seeped all the warmth out of the air and made the cafe cold and inhospitable. He wondered if the cafe had always been like this, even when his father had managed it, or if all this was Michael and Zachariah's doing."
"Dean's expression shifted, from sadness, to frustration, to hurt, to something else that Cas didn’t recognize. He opened his mouth, closed it, stepped forward, hesitated, then muttered, "Fuck it."
He strode up to Cas, grabbed the back of his neck, and kissed him."
