I’m in love with you,
he said
like he was talking about weather
but how could the wind love a whisper?
how could the stars love an ant?
he was the goddamn ocean and sea and you were
nothing
I’m in love with you,
he said
and the weight of his words hung heavy in your throat
and you tried to choke out an answer
all while blinking back hot heavy tears
How could you possibly know that, Cas?
you said
and those ancient eyes somehow got sadder
and he sighed heavily
because somehow
I’m in love with you
he said
you managed to inflict pain in a creature who saw the earth form
you should have meant nothing
you do
mean nothing
I’m in love with you
he said
as if it fucking mattered
as if the world wasn’t ending
and everyone was dead or dying
and satan stomping around like he owned the place
Goddammit
you said
and then yep, you were crying
because billions of years ago
the stars formed
and the world is ending
and an angel is in love with you
