A Place Called Home (Anna)
Harry's kindness had been unexpected, to say the very least. He'd been grateful to get the job and hadn't truly expected him to take both himself and Anna on as new tenants, but apparently despite the time period and their lack of a real marriage license, he'd provided them with a place to stay. It was small. Perhaps smaller than even some of the motel rooms they'd stayed in during that one year they were able to hunt together, yet there was a clean bed. Clean shower. And kitchen. All the necessities they would both need to survive.

And he'd wanted to surprise Anna. Granted, it had meant an extra night sleeping the church, but he felt she could forgive him for that. She'd often pointed out that she had an appreciation for the element of surprise and this certainly qualified. She was likely sore from sleeping on the office couch...and it seemed appropriate a night in a real bed after a shower would be a good way to make it up to her.

Leading her up the stairs, he remained somewhat silent on the matter of what they were doing there. If she had any questions, he'd been doing his best to avoid them.

"I promise it's nothing you'll disapprove of," he reminded her. "You simply need to trust me."

That in and of itself felt strange to say. There had never been an occurrence where he felt as if she didn't. Not since they'd become significant to one another, but keeping a secret from her was difficult enough. Especially considering all that he'd learned regarding both Johnny and Rob. There were things that needed to be discussed, but not before he gave her something he'd been wanting to give her for quite some time.

Castiel had something in store for her and he was keeping surprisingly quiet about it. Anna could tell when he was unhappy and from the way he was acting, this wasn't an unhappy secret. After he told her that she would just have to trust him, that halted questions for the time being. He had earned her trust several times over in their time hunting together. Everything that had come before then was the distant past.

So instead, she just clasped his hand tightly as he led her through a small apartment building.

"I have news for you as well, Castiel. But it can wait until after your surprise."

She was eager to tell him about the job she'd secured, but she wanted to know what he had in store for her as well. She loved surprises but hated the waiting period. She had an inquiring mind and not knowing was equal parts torment and joy at times.

Reaching their door, he took the key he was given and opened it, gesturing for her to go inside first. He'd already swept the entire living space for creatures of malicious supernatural intent and he'd made certain it would be a place Anna would be comfortable with. It was important to him, if only because in their rightful reality, he very likely would never have been able to give her such a thing.

"You knowing it's a surprise negates the fact that it is one," he pointed out with a faint smile. "But even so. I am eager to hear your news."

Entering the small apartment behind her, he flipped on the light. There was no color to go by, the black and white tint still assaulting his eyes no matter how badly he wished to see otherwise. He missed the sky, for one thing. The color of Anna's hair more so, but...these were minor concerns in the larger equation.

The kitchen had been cleaned and he'd found a florist nearby and there was an arrangement on the small table with a note to her. He'd simply had to trust his eye...yet for all he knew, the flowers were only white and green. "I...tried to find warm colors," he admitted. "Ones that would compliment your hair, which I learned about in one of the magazines left in our room approximately four months before I was taken. But...I hope these will do just the same."

	Anna looked at the ring, still surprised that he had one at all. She stretched her ring finger out to allow him to put it on and smiled up at him. "Perfectly," she said. "When did you get this?" They'd arrived with no money, so she didn't believe that he could have picked up the ring on this planet. So when? How long had he been thinking about this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
