35days of Sastiel – Day 33

fae-and-night:

The ways you say I love you – On a post-it note.

Ever since Dean’s stint with the sticky notes, Sam has been
finding them in nearly every inch of the bunker and anywhere and everywhere on his person. Despite the
identical sticky squares of paper, the penmanship and sentiment contained
therein are completely different.

Castiel had wandered into Sam’s room, a habit of his left over
from their motel days that hasn’t changed despite the much larger roaming
space. He’d been puzzled by the prank but seemed to like the uniformity of the
tiny squares. After helping Sam take off the last carefully placed note
(directly in the center of his shoulder blade and nearly impossible to reach),
the angel had silently entered Dean’s room and confiscated the pad.

Now everywhere Sam looks there’s little encouraging notes,
ranging from research tips to running encouragement to compliments on Sam’s
hair. Each sentiment affectionately scrawled on the squat pages and each
inspired blush that Sam walked around firmly in denying.

Today’s post-it is a bit more direct. The hunt was long, and
Sam had nearly succeeded in sacrificing himself to save a little girl. It was a
success- the girl safe at home- but Castiel had trailed Sam around the motel
and focused intently on the back of Sam’s head all the way home.

Sam had expected some extra method of Castiel’s usual sticky
attentions but was utterly shocked by the soft print on the note over his
heart.

“You are loved, Sam Winchester.”
