The Sentinels whiskey kisses

Aria was up for an Oscar -- Cas felt his troubles began to ebb as she embraced him, her voice full of all the anguish he felt in his soul. "I never got to say goodbye!" he sobbed, then bit his lip to stop the crying. the tearfilled gold of his eyes met the paleness of Aria's gaze; he sighed and offered her a tight, small smile. "what have you been up to?" 

it was the question to which the boy did not want an answer. but there was no possible way for him to know that, and so he watched her, desperately grateful for her continued love (or so he thought).
