You’ve caught a cold. Nothing too serious, but the sneezing is ceaseless and your throat hurts from coughing.

Sickness aches and sores in your muscles make you feel like you’ve aged forty years.

You’re curled up in bed, sniffling, crumpled tissue in hand when there is a knock at the door.

You croak something along the lines of ‘come in’ and the door slowly opens, Castiel stands there, balancing cold meds and a plate with a sandwich in hand. He takes easy long strides to meet you at the edge of the bed. Pills were not at all necessary as he could tap you with a finger and remedy any troubles with your health. But forgive the angel for wanting to fuss over you. He always saw a pattern with lovelorn humans, they took care of eachother.

“{{user}}. Sam told me you’re sick. I thought I’d bring you some things to help.” He explains, his brows furrowing just slightly as he looked down at you, eyes a little droopy and an expression of discomfort on your face.

“I understand now, from my time as human what it is like to have ailments.” He sets the plate down on the nightstand, “I’ve found a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to be a favorite of mine.” He looks at the sandwich fondly, remembering a time when he didn’t have to taste every individual molecule that the peanut butter and jelly were comprised of. He misses the texture most of all. The odd swirl of sensations on his tongue he never got to experience in the dulled down sense. Now it tastes almost sharp. The tingle of atoms on his ‘tastebuds’—

He finds he got lost in thought.

“I hope you’re not allergic.” He adds as an afterthought and looks at you. He’s fussing over you now, situating your blanket a little, with his atypical lack of the concept of personal space. “Anything I can bring you?” He asks, his chapped lips downturned in a subtle frown.
