Library [02/10]

Sam was more than a little energetic in the library today, and he hadn't even had any coffee this morning. With no further news on Peter, he was starting to worry that Isabel had been tricked in her dreamwalking, that Peter really wasn't alive out there somewhere, and in order to keep his mind off of that train of thought, he threw himself into work. He cleaned the main desk, put returned books back in their proper places, rearranged a set of shelves, cleaned the main desk again, and worked on memorizing his lines from the play. It wasn't enough to stay constantly distracted, but Sam was getting as close as he could.

"It's a bit late for that, Sam," he said. Chuck gestured to himself. "I mean, come on, look who he hangs out with."

"Okay, point," Sam said. "But he's still pretty pure, aside from the kissing, right?"

"Sexually, yes. The hooker we set him up with didn't get far," Chuck said, smiling a little at the memory. "Probably for the best because he is an awful kisser. He's much better at the drinking and drugs thing."

"I forgot about him getting high," Sam admitted, sighing. "He's not very good at being an angel."

"Oh stop acting like you even know what an angel's supposed to be like," Chuck said. "From what I understand they're not exactly the nicest company."

"I thought I knew what angels were supposed to be like," Sam said, and maybe that was part of the problem. "I'm kind of...okay, disappointed is a strong word, because I like Castiel, I really do. It's just hard to get past."

"What did you expect them to be like?" Chuck asked.

"Well for starters, I expected them to be friendly," Sam said. "I thought angels were supposed to be nice and look out for people. That's why you pray to them."

"I always thought you prayed to God, not angels," he said. Not that God was exactly looking out for people these days either, if what Castiel said was right. "You're right though. Angels should care about us. Castiel's brothers are major assholes. They've done all sorts of stuff to him because of the way he acts around humans. And now he's cut off from Heaven and it's screwing with his powers."

That kind of made Chuck feel bad. He supposed he should be encouraging him to be more angelic but, damn, it was hard when all you heard was about the dick things they did.

Sam tilted his head a little as he watched Chuck. "You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you're worried about Castiel," he said. "Or, at least concerned about how he's doing now."

"I'd be a pretty crappy friend if I wasn't at least a little bit concerned about him, wouldn't I?" Chuck said.

"Yeah, you would be, but it's still nice to see," Sam said. "I wish the other angels weren't such jackasses either. At least Castiel's trying to look out for humanity. The rest of them...I don't even know what they want."

Chuck shrugged. "I guess without God around they figure they can do whatever they want."

Which he couldn't exactly blame them for. Just look at the stuff he pulled after his dad died.

"I don't like the idea of God not being around," Sam said. "If God's not around then who the hell am I praying to?"

"It's not an idea I'm thrilled with either." Which was just really weird considering Chuck didn't even believe in God until recently. "But Castiel might be wrong about that. God could still be around. Just...laying low."

Okay, Chuck kind of doubted Castiel was wrong but he didn't want Sam to lose hope completely.

"I hope so. I don't want to think about a world without God in it," Sam said, managing a smile at Chuck. "You know, while you're dirtying Castiel up, he's making you more holy in return."

Chuck rolled his eyes. "I'd deny it, but nobody would believe it if you chose to spread that bit of information around."
