Cas x Reader

Prompt:  "You fell asleep in the tub?!"

"Y/N, you aren't going on this hunt. You're still healing from the last one, and we don't want you getting hurt again." Your bigger brother Dean argued with you. It was annoying, knowing he was right.

"I could go and do research." You shot back, not wanting to be alone in the bunker.

"You can do research here. But Sam and I have this covered. You just relax, and let your body heal. You'll be back to hunting in no time." He said, patting you on the back before joining Sam in the Impala. Groaning, you sank back down onto the library chair, already tired from the argument with your brother.

Without your brother's there to annoy you, you decided to spend the time relaxing and taking care of yourself. Your head was still slightly throbbing from when it had been smacked against the wall, and the shoulder that had been dislocated was still sore and tender to the touch. Not to mention your ankle which was an ugly mixture of blues and greens and yellows.

Turning the music up in the bunker, you went into your favorite bathroom. The bunker had two main bathrooms, locker room style, but this little bathroom was towards the back, small and private. It had the usual, a toilet and a sink. But it also had something else the others one didn't. A bathtub. Knowing you were by yourself, you left the door cracked open a little, letting the music into the room.

Pulling your secret stash of bubble bath from behind your period stuff, you began filling the tub, as hot as you could stand it. Slipping out of your leggings and long shirt, you said into the water, sighing as the heat started soothing your aches. Completely covered with bubbles, you closed your eyes, leaning back.

Soon the warm water had you lulled to sleep, your head back against the edge of the tub. As the water cooled, you slept, only to be awoken by a deep voice very close to your ear.

"You fell asleep in the tub?!" Cas asked you, staring down at you in concern. "I didn't think it was a place people slept. Couldn't you drown or..." He said, waving his hand over your naked body. Glancing down, you blushed furiously when you realized most of the bubble bath had long since faded away, leaving your naked body visible.

Moving quickly, you brought your arms up, covering as much of yourself as you could. "Cas!! What the hell are you doing here?"

Tilting his head, he narrowed his eyes at you. "Why to check on you, as Dean requested. Why didn't you call earlier? I would have gladly healed you."

Sighing, you pointed to one of your splurges. Extra fluffy towels that were strictly yours, and yours alone. "Because you don't need to heal me every time I break a nail."

"This is more than a nail." He argued as he handed you the towel, his gaze narrowing in on your bruises. "Does a bathtub do a good job of healing? Is that why you were sleeping in it?"

"Cas, let me get dressed and then we can talk. Please?" You pleaded, and he nodded. As he turned to move away and you began drying off, he changed his mind. Quicker than you expected his hand was on your forehead, and your pain was gone in an instant.

"It distresses me to see you suffering." He told you, before leaving you there speechless.
