eumonigy. So this is the illegitimate spawn of that.
Cas heaves a put upon sigh and tries again. “Castiel,” he says carefully.
“Castiel,” Sam repeats.
“No,” Cas admonishes like a school teacher to a slow student. “You are saying it wrong.”
“What?” Sam breathes incredulously. Dean tries to stifle his amusement and pretend that he's still focused on the TV. “I said it exactly like you did.”
“No,” Cas says again, sounding exasperated. “You are enunciating it wrong. Say it again.”
“Castiel.”
Sam cowers a little bit under Cas' responding glare. Cas disappears in a flutter of wingbeats.
Dean bursts out laughing from his side of the room and Sam just asks, “What the hell?”
Sam thinks the matter is ended with that, but it comes up again. During a hunt.
The demon they're hunting is pressing Cas up to the wall by his throat and Sam let's out a worried, “Castiel!”
Cas responds by glaring down at him. Sam cringes as Dean takes the demon out. Cas is on his feet and at Sam's throat in seconds. “You. Are. Saying. It. Wrong.”
Sam just stares dumbfounded as Cas walks huffily away.
“Okay,” Sam says as he plops down across the table from where Cas is thumbing through an old book. “Teach me how to say it.”
Cas doesn't look up as he enunciates, “Cas·ti·el.”
“Castiel,” Sam tries. Cas slams his book shut and starts trying to kill Sam with his eyes. "Okay, okay! Just... Say it again."
"CAS. TI. EL." Cas' voice has turned gravely and self-righteous. "Castiel."
"Castiel?" Sam says.
Cas' whole face lights up at that, his lips beginning to tug up in a smile.
Sam can't help but feel proud of him self and he says it again. "Castiel."
Cas' face drops back down and he leaves the room. There are some moderately distressing noises before he re-enters.
This time Dean walks in with him and says, in the smuggest voice Sam has ever heard, "What's up, Sam? Castiel?"
Cas actually smiles at him. Sam resists the urge to punch him.
The next time Sam says his name, Cas gets so pissed he ends up slamming Sam against the wall, which leads to rather interesting things. It ends when Sam moans Castiel into his mouth without thinking. Cas is gone in the most indignant flap of wings imaginable and Sam pinches the bridge of his nose.
Dean doesn't comment when Sam spends the next few days muttering, "Castiel. Castiel. Castiel. Castiel." Sam is grateful.
When Cas drops in next, Sam gives him a wide smile and says, "Hello, Castiel."
Cas' mouth opens reflexively, his brow drawn in preemptive annoyance, but it snaps shut quickly and a confused expression takes over his face. Then a content grin settles on his mouth and he sits next to Sam companionably.
Sam is ashamed to say that he is probably more proud of this than anything else he's ever done.

Sam says Castiel's name wrong? Do you have an audio clip of the way he says it versus the way Misha says it (or Dean) so I can hear it? I never noticed.

I don't think I ever noticed Sam saying his name differently, but either way, D'AAAWW. The last line completely does it for me.

I loved Cas' "preemptive annoyance." Nicely done!

This is adorable. And I'm glad to know I'm not the only person to have noticed Sam's tendency to say Cast-ee-ul instead of Cas-tee-el ^^. I think it's kind of cute but yeah, I can get how Castiel would take offence XD.
<3!

Yeah, I really thought I would be the only one because that kind of stuff bothers me all the time c:

I randomly love the way Lucifer says it, actually. It's almost like he's tasting the name when he says it, it's kind of weird and creepy-awesome.
no subject
It's totally creepy-awesome! c:

Thank you ♥

Angels have names that end in -el because they are referring to the Lord. Uriel, Michael, Rafael, Gabriel, Castiel. I'd almost say that the accent should be on the -el. That's how I pronounce Castiel
Cas, tee EL. Sam seems to say CAS tiel, rhyming it with how they pronounced uriel and gabriel. Meh. And of course, Michael is such a common name in English that the -el suffix doesn't even register!! (it's more like itself in the russian, Mikhail -- Mikha-el, "who is like God?")
So I can see why Castiel would get so annoyed --- he has always been very serious about his devotion to the Lord (even now that he's very angry) -- and he would want people to get it right.
So, yeah, I always hated Zacharaiah a little (for many reasons) but one, for not even having a proper Angelic name. Anna was probably Anael, the Angel of Romantic Love. Fitting eh?? :)
And of course with the Gardener, Joshua, they were Hinting at Something. :P
Sam is in a Cage till he gets it right! :)
