Cas shook his head. "You have to pay to get in, and I've never had much money. Nor would my father have taken me anywhere when I was a kid."

"Well, I hope you like this place." Sorrel said. He wanted to curse the kid's father, he seemed like such a cruel man.

"I'm sure I will." Cas smiled softly and closed his eyes. "When will the trolley get here?" He asked.

"Few minutes, I'm sure." Sorrel replied. Short and sweet, it was easier than most of his words. "I'm sorry if that seems to be long."

"I'm sure it'll be fine." Cas stroked Nix a bit. "Is there anything you wanna talk about while we wait?" He asked.

"Sure. Did you ever like someone? I guess I've been wondering that. I honestly think I know the answer though, by now." Sorrel asked the other.

"Um… yeah, actually. I've had my heart broken a few times. I tend to get really emotionally attached to people and then they take advantage of me."

"Really? I'd have never guessed… that. I guess I know what I shouldn't do, then." Sorrel replied. He smiled, with a good intention at heart. "I'll be kind to you, and careful."

"Thanks, Sor…" Cas smiled softly and huddled a bit closer to him. He definitely tended to fall in love quickly and be far too trusting. He also tended to be clingy and very attached to his partner. Unfortunately, that usually led to him getting hurt.

"It's nothing." Sorrel said, as he eyed the trolley approaching them. "Trolley's here." Sorrel informed the other, as he stood up. He offered Cas a hand.

Cas accepted it and followed Sorrel onto the trolley with Nix in his free arm. He was still smiling and seemed to be in good spirits.

"This is my favorite way to go around," Sorrel said, as the trolley began to go. Wind filtered through all of the open windows.

Cas watched out the window, intrigued. "How long does it take to get there?" He asked. He still hadn't let go of Sorrel.

"Maybe ten minutes if the wind wants to speed us up." Sorrel said. He grabbed onto the door frame of the trolley, and hung himself out of it. They allowed that, and he loved doing it.

"Sorrel!" Cas grabbed him and pulled him back in. "You're gonna fall out! What are you doing??" He seemed concerned now, and he didn't want to let go of Sorrel.

"It's called wind-gliding!" Sorrel exclaimed with a laugh. "It's where you keep hold of the trolley and hang out, a little too literally." Sorrel said, with a lazy laugh. "I love doing it, you ought to try it." He said, as he edged closer to the other.

Cas shook his head fervently and hugged Sorrel's arm so he couldn't fall out. "That sounds pretty dangerous…"

"I live for thrills. Sometimes it ends in roughness but it's a great way to exist." Sorrel admitted. He stepped in a little bit more, so that Cas would be alright. "But okay, I won't. Just for you."

"Thanks, Sor…" Cas clung a little tighter to Sorrel's arm. "I just don't want you to get hurt…"

"I won't get hurt, not ever." Sorrel said. Immortality and immunity seemed to be false, but he was going to try if it were for Cas's sake.

Cas nodded and eventually opened his eyes to watch the horizon pass by again. He was quiet for the rest of the ride, but he didn't seem to be upset. He was just worried for Sorrel.

Minutes after, Sorrel and Cas were greeted with the entrance to the petting zoo and aquarium. "Let's go!" Sorrel said, as he hopped off of the trolley.

Cas grinned and followed him off. "Make sure you don't go too fast! I'm short, remember?" He trotted after Sorrel.

"Alright! sorry!" Sorrel apologized, as he slowed down substantially. He showed his tickets to a guard person, and they let the two into the aquarium. The whole place was decorated with the creatures of the sea, which swam all around them. The aquarium itself seemed to be a fish-bowl for humans.

Cas couldn't stop swiveling his head to look around, starry-eyed with wonder. "Wow…" He whispered, slowing down again so he could take everything in.

"Don't you love it? So many animals, living their own lives in captivity. I feel their feelings, sometimes." Sorrel admitted. A whale in a nearby exhibit called, its sounds were music to the ears of the people. Sorrel couldn't help but smile even wider.

(Daaamn how do I get to this aquarium? I've never seen a whale before in captivity lol)
He nodded, a soft smile growing onto his face. "It's beautiful here… and really big. How will we ever have time to see it all?"

( I don't know to be honest. Beluga whales are adorable in captivity- )

"It's early dawn, and we have the entire day to lounge around." Sorrel promised the other. "So therefore, we'll spend every second gazing at animals together."

"Sounds great to me, love." Cas smiled softly and stood on his toes to kiss Sorrel's cheek before he turned to look at some colorful fish in a tank beside him.

Sorrel completely stopped in his tracks. His heart stopped, too. Cas… called him love, for the first time… Did that mean he liked him? Did that mean that he was getting somewhere? Oh well for confessing, Cas just stared everything up by himself.
