Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three loud knocks shook the walls of the cheap motel they were staying in.
"Hurry up!" The blond man urgently whispered at his companion, as he checks the room again for any other valuables.
The other man comes out of the bathroom after hastily shoving their dirty clothes into a duffel bag. "Hey! It's not my fault! How many times have I told you to stop hustling pool?" He replies angrily, but keeping his voice down.
Castiel was not used to the feeling of panic or mortal endangerment, but he could tell he hates it. It feels like his heart would jump out of his chest while the adrenaline pumps through his veins, making his hands and feet feel cold and sweaty.
Dean, on the other hand, seems to live on adrenaline and couldn't wait to get into trouble. He inspects the windows, trying to figure out a way out to escape the thugs who just lost about 200 dollars playing pool with college kids.
"Here!" He calls to Cas as he looks out a window. "There's a pipe we could grab on to. Come on."
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Dean climbs out first, hurrying because the thugs had decided to break down the motel room door. He carefully grabs on to the narrow window sill and slowly moves towards the pipe.
Castiel looks down the window and gulps, hesitating to climb down a pipe from the third floor of a building.
BANG!
The walls shook and he could tell the wooden door was about to give out. He looks down again and tells Dean earnestly, "If I die, I'm taking you with me!" Then swings his leg out the window to follow Dean.
They hear the door open and they rushed climbing down. They hear scuffles in the room and a head pokes out of the room they had just vacated. Dean safely lands on both his feet, but Cas's sweaty fingers caused him to slip, falling down from the second floor and (un)fortunately landing on Dean.
They both groan in pain. Feeling a bit dazed, it took them a few seconds to gather their bearings before getting up. The thugs had left the room and they were now running down the steps, their heavy feet shaking the thin walls of the rooms.
"Are you hurt?" Dean asked Cas, offering his hand.
Cas glares at him and gets up alone, ignoring Dean's hand. "Let's just go."
Dean tried to apologize but Cas cut him off, "I said let's just go."
He felt bad about Cas but the sound of the thundering feet of the their pursuers was unmistakable. Without thinking, he grabs Cas's hands and drags him as he runs away from their pursuers.
A few of blocks later, they were both gasping for their breaths.
"We -- need -- to -- hide," Cas said between gasps.
Dean looks around for a place where the thugs couldn't follow them. He notices a place with loud sounds, a bouncer and a bright neon sign that says, "The Male Box"
"Aha!" He exclaims with relief. "Come on," he says to Cas who was still trying to catch his breath. He drags his friend again towards the door. They slow down as they near the door, trying to act composed as their hearts thumped to the beat of the thugs' feet a few meters behind them.
They both reach out their wallets to show their IDs to the bouncer who barely glanced at it. They walked in and got swallowed by the loud music and people. Dean grabs Cas's hand again, scared to lose his friend in the crowd.
A few people checked them both out as they walked past, freaking Dean out and making him tighten his grip on Castiel's hand who thankfully squeezed back. They walk around until they found an empty table.
"I think I need a drink," Cas says, trying to let go of Dean's hand but Dean refused. He looked at Dean's eyes which to his surprise showed fear, Don't leave me, he seems to say.
"I won't take long," he reassures Dean, using his other hand to remove Dean's hand.
Dean follows Cas move through the crowd with his eyes. After a couple of minutes, Dean notices a guy who keeps looking at him and he makes the mistake of making eye contact.
The guy walks towards his table, stands opposite to him and leans on the table. "Fuck me if I'm wrong, but is your name Easy Bottom?"
Dean freezes and he's eyes widen, feeling like a deer in the headlights and praying Cas would appear from the crowd.
Ignoring Dean's obviously mystified reaction, the guy walks around the table to get closer to Dean, "My name is Nick… remember that, you'll be screaming it later."
He tried to take a step back and bumped into Castiel, who grabbed him by the waist and gave him a firm and deliberate kiss. Dean's heart skips a beat as his lips touched his roommate's.
"Did you miss me?" he hears Cas say flirtatiously.
Dean kisses him again, partly in relief that Cas had rescued him but mostly because their kiss gave him a buzz that can't compare to being chased by three thugs who were each about twice his size.
They break apart after a few seconds. Nick had already walked away and all the other guys who were checking them out were looking elsewhere.
They both blushed and refused to look at each other as they downed their drinks.
"Well…" Dean starts to say, his whole face still blushing, "I guess our spring break wasn't ALL that bad."
