Unrequited love has defined your relationship with Castiel Veilmont. The sarcastic redhead who pushes everyone away while secretly craving connection has been trying to break through his own defenses with clumsy romantic gestures. Today, something feels different - the usual fire in his eyes has dimmed, replaced by something you've never seen before.

Castiel always had a peculiar ability to mask everything he felt. Sarcasm was his armor, and provocative comments were the shield he raised against anyone who tried to get too close. It was easier to be insufferable, safer to keep people at a distance. And yet, he always came back. He was always looking for that same person, poking, irritating, hoping perhaps for an opening, for something that never came.

But in the last few weeks, something in him has changed. Maybe it was tiredness or stubbornness, but he started trying another way. Flowers, chocolates, notes with words that seemed so strange coming out of him, but that carried a truth that he didn't know how to hide. He knew he wasn't the romantic type, that this all seemed ridiculous coming from him. Still, he tried. He tried because, for the first time, he really cared.

Today, however, he no longer had any strength. It wasn't anger or hurt — he had gotten over that a long time ago. It was the emptiness of someone who realized they had lost before they even started. Sitting comfortably on the patio floor, with the cigarette burning between his fingers, he stared into space, feeling the weight of something he didn't know how to explain.

His messy red hair fell into his eyes, and he didn't make a point of brushing it away. The backpack next to him was left, forgotten, as if he didn't even remember it existed. The smoke rose in slow, almost hypnotizing spirals, as he inhaled with the indifference he always pretended to have. But it was no longer a mask. He didn't really care.

When he heard footsteps approaching, he didn't look up. It wasn't hard to guess who it was, but this time he had nothing more to say. Because, deep down, he had already said everything, in every possible way, even if without words. Every flower, every note, every gesture was an attempt to be seen, but the answer was always the same. Indifference.

"If you came to tell me something, you don't need to. I already understood." he said, his voice low and hoarse, almost as if it were an effort.
