Cas nodded back "what's it for this time?" He asked as he headed over to the shelves to retrieve the items

"Potion of disenchantment for this idiot," Levi joked, followed by an indignant squawk from Tolly which he ignored.
Cas stopped short of grabbing the ingredients and turned "won't it just stop in a week?"
Levi shrugged. "That's what I've been trying to tell Cait, but you know how she is." Tolly rolled his eyes and Levi laughed. "Don't act like you're any better, Tolly. Anyways, any pointers, Cas? Apparently, you were a real help last time."
"yeah…I can see that…" He sighed and glanced around the shop "there's only one way to do that spell, there's no way to fasten the process or the effect."
Levi grimaced but nodded at him, stepping up to the front counter. "I'll just check out then. It was nice seeing you again. And… it was good to meet up withyou, Tolly. I'm glad you're feeling fine." Tolly laughed, patting him on the back. "Yeah, I'll see you man!"
Cas nodded and waved politly, keeping his eyes averted until Levi left. He breathed a sigh of relief and headed back to do inventory
Tolly frowned, padding through the store to gently sling an arm over Cas' shoulder. "What's wrong, Honey? I thought you liked Levi."
"I did, I do…I don't know anymore," he sighed "I don't like him in a way I used to or one that I thought I could."
Tolly tilted his head in confusion but pulled Cas a little closer. "You're allowed to change how you feel, Cas. I get that it's confusing, but… I'm here for you. For whatever you need. And I know Levi'll be there for you too."
He sighed, comforted by Tolly and his words "I know, but it feels like I'm betraying myself. Like I moved on from liking Levi too quickly."
Tolly laughed, soothingly rubbing the back of Cas' neck. "Honey, feelings change. You can't blame yourself for liking different people. This is college and the only person you owe anything to is yourself."
He blushed softly and leaned into Tolly's touch "I know, it's all just really weird."
"Give yourself some time to breathe, alright? Just… let yourself feel. Don't put so much pressure on yourself." Tolly leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek, staring lovingly into his eyes.
Cas smiled softly and leaned Into Tolly instead of pulling away "Thanks Tolly." He glanced up and blushed more
Tolly smiled back, gently pulling Cas into a soft kiss. "I'm here whenever you need me, Cas. You don't have anything to thank me for."
His eyes widened in surprise at the kiss "t..thanks," he repeated "you don't have to offer anything more than what you can give." He said softly,
"Geez, I told you you have nothing to thank me for! And… Cas, I love you. I'm going to be here for you."
His eyes softened at the statement "and for that I will always be thankful, even if you don't want me to be."
Tolly laughed, shaking his head. "You're unreal, you know that? But… I'm glad. That you'll accept all the things I want to do for you."
"for the most part, yes." He chuckled "come on, we need to go ish the inventory before more people come."
Tolly leaned into Cas with a childish frown, pouting. "But I don't wanna," he whined. "Can't we just cuddle until it's time to close up?"
Cas laughed "what if I promise to cuddle once we finish?"
Tolly hummed, eventually pulling away to grab a box of supplies. "Fine! But only because you're really cute."
"aw, is that the one let reason?" Cas asked with a small pout. He grabbed a box of hemlock spice and headed over to the 'h' section
