Castiel tapped his fingers on the counter, the middle of the day was always so slow. There were only a few college students lingering inside the shop. He sighed and scanned the shop, no one every interesting came in during these times, and his brothers usually got the better shifts. Which wasn't so bad because Castiel wasn't much of a talker but he loved to listen, admittingly sometimes into other people's conversation but that was only because no one ever talked to him about anything interesting. The ring of the bell over the door caught Castiel's attention, standing up he watched two men walk into the coffee shop.
"Listen Sammy, I see your point but it's wrong." The shorter man had spoken to the taller one. Castiel turned his head slightly wondering why the taller one looked so angry shorter man, and he just sighed watching as the two sat at a table not ordering anything. Castiel returned to his slouching posture over the counter that it was before. The two men who had just entered kept their tone hushed until the shorter man rose from the table and made his way over to the counter. Castiel looked up at him before standing up meeting the man's eyes. Oh they were green, not just some sickly green a vivid emerald.
"Uh yeah, just a coffee, black, for Mr. Lack of Personality over there. Who even drinks black coffee anymore?" Castiel didn't answer the man's question as the so called Sammy rolled his eyes. Dean shifted slightly the blue eyed man seemed to stare into his soul.
"Very funny Dean." He commented irritated with this Dean. Castiel nodded.
"What size?" Castiel deep voice interrupted the two's death stare and Castiel didn't notice how his voice caught both off guard and he simply tilted his head.
"Medium, I guess." Dean shrugged.
"$1.50" Castiel responded and Dean pulled out cash handing it Castiel. Cas nodded to the man and headed off to the coffee maker. The two men went hush again as the coffee was brewed. Since no one else was in the shop Cas had no problem with delivering the coffee to the table.
"Hey.. you know the Novaks, since you work here right?" Sam asked after sipping the coffee. Castiel simply nodded, he could tell they were from out of town, most people here knew all the Novaks, which Cas was one.
"We are looking for Gabriel.. do you know where he is?" Sam smiled, looking hopeful. Castiel glanced at the clock before looking back at the two men.
"Anytime now. That is if he isn't late to his shift." The two men nodded before Castiel spoke again.
"Did he do something?" Cas wasn't going to give away that he was a Novak, because he wasn't like the rest of them. He had different morals and always butting heads with the rest of the family and they rather not be associated with Cas, who didn't mind anymore.
"Uh.. kinda. Its kinda between us and the other Novaks." Dean responded and Castiel did as much as raise an eyebrow at them before just shrugging it off. The clock ticked filling the silent coffee shop before the door burst open and Gabriel was standing there with his trademark smirk.
"Winchesters!" He said loudly patting Sam on the back as he swaggered in. "Oi, Cassie did you keep them entertained?" He asked turning to Cas.
"Gabriel, its Castiel, not Cassie. You're late." Was all Cas said to Gabe before tossing his apron at his brother.
"C'mon are you still mad at me? That was like weeks ago." Gabe smiled innocently.
"You are my brother, it's my job to always be mad at you."
"And it's my job to embarrass you. " Gabe responded and threw his arm around Castiel and his eyes fell on the two men. They looked shocked.
"Dude, if we had known that you were his brother, we would have told you." Sam said quickly as Castiel just waved it off.
"No need to apologize. I'm not usually recognized as a Novak and I rather keep it that way." At the last bit of the sentence, Cas glared over at Gabe as he shoved his brother's arm off of him.
"You little rebel you." Gabe joked ruffling Castiel's already messy hair, "Meet the family rebel boys, my favorite Castiel."
"Wait this is Castiel? I imagined him…" Dean didn't get to finish his sentence before Castiel interrupted him,
"different."
"I didn't mean it like that."
"But it's true.. I'm different, I do not mind." Castiel shrugged at Dean. He really wasn't offended by being called different. People seem to think, now, that being different is the most offensive thing in the world whereas Castiel would rather be different, then like everyone else.
"Told ya, you would like him." Gabe winked at Dean interrupting him and Cas. Dean opened his mouth as if he was going to say something else, but became slightly fluttered and decided not to talk. "Cat got your tongue or is it just Cas?" He smirked and Sam raised both of his eyebrows.
"Stop Gabriel," Cas seemed not to be phased by Gabe's inputs, "I apologize for his behavior, and for even meeting him." There was a small grin playing on the side of Cas's lips that Dean caught before Cas ducked out of the so he wouldn't be hit in the back on the head.
"I will get you Cassie." Gabe challenged as Cas rolled his eyes at the comment. "Oh Lucifer is looking for you."
"Looks like I'm not going home again tonight." Neither of the Novak brothers looked like they were kidding and the Winchesters gave each other a confused look, almost concerned. "I'll be here tomorrow, Gabe," he then nodded to the Winchesters, "nice meeting you both." Cas said before grabbing a tattered trench coat off the coat rack by the door and heading out of the coffee shop with a ding.
"Is everything okay?" Dean asked his eyes still locked on the door after Cas walked out and watched the window until Cas's figure disappeared.
"Eh, he doesn't get along with anyone in the family besides Balthazar and sometimes me. So it's not unusual. I forgot you two never met him, he was gone when you were here. "
"You said last time that he was dead."
"Yeah.. that's what I had been told. Then he showed up all bloody and broken, no one asked him what happened so I dunno. He refuses to talk about it. I'm convinced he murdered someone." The last sentence out of Gabe's mouth had his usual joking tone, but before that Gabe actually sounded concerned. "He's not coming back, you gunna keep watching, Dean-o?"
Dean's eyes snapped over to Gabe and they held a glare and then the glare was directed to Sam who was chuckling.
"Dean's a sucker for blue eyes." Sam laughed as Dean sent another glare towards him and earned a chuckle from Gabe.
"Sorry to break it to you but he doesn't like a single soul. He's broken more hearts then I have just by giving puppy dog eyes. Don't ever look at him while he's guilt tripping you, he knows his power." Gabe directed his words to Dean, while attempting to tie on his apron.
"I just met him and I don't swing that way." It was now Sam's turn to glare at Dean and Dean slummed. "Okay that once…" Dean tried to save himself but Gabe was already sending Dean a wicked grin.
"Love at first sight my young grasshopper. Careful though, Castiel rarely gives anyone the time of day. Gotta earn it." Gabe pointed to Dean as he spoke and Dean grumbled like an angry six year old.
"Can we please get to the reason why we are here please." Dean hissed as a customer walked in.
"Not this time." A triumphant grin was being worn by the hazel haired man as he addressed the customer next. "Welcome to Novak Coffee. What can I get ya?"
Dean slummed down, he hated they were right. Castiel was beyond human beauty, crap chick-flick moment. But that didn't stop Dean thinking about Castiel, he was sorter than Dean and leaner but underneath those cloths there was a muscular man, with wild blue eyes and untamable sex hair. Damn it. He really, really found Castiel attractive, but mysterious and Dean didn't want some one night stand he wanted to get to know Castiel, but sex should be included along the way. Wait he had just met the man.. where were these thoughts coming from?
