The Power of Love

Chapter One

Castiel Novak had never really been one to go to parties, yet when Ruby had been kind enough to invite her to one, she took up the offer and went along.

She was supposed to be picked up by her father, Michael, but Dean Winchester had said he'd come out to pick her up, so she texted her mother, Amelia to tell her Dean was walking her home but to tell Michael that she was walking home with Anna, who was covering for her, and often did.

Michael and Amelia were wary of Dean, but Amelia knew her little girl had to grow up sometime. She was eighteen and she'd never been with anyone before. Amelia and Michael were a little disappointed that Dean would be her first, if they got together, because they didn't trust him, but they assumed she'd grow out of her feelings for him.

She left the party at ten-fifteen in the evening, going towards the park where she was meeting Dean. She'd had a bit too much to drink and as she walked, she felt herself getting scared and upset.

She wasn't fully aware of what was going on and where she was, and she was starting to get frightened. She got to the park and sat on the wall, wrapping her arms around herself as she tried not to cry. She texted Dean to tell him what she'd had to drink and that she wasn't fully aware herself, what was happening or where she was. Luckily for her, Dean arrived within a minute of her sending that text and as soon as she saw him, she just burst into tears.

"Hey, it's alright," Dean promised, rubbing her back as he pulled her into his arms, "Shhh..."

He kissed her head and rocked her a little, but the poor girl just held onto him and sobbed like her entire world was coming to an end. Dean led her to the wall and they sat together, Dean with his arms around Castiel as he held her close in the cold, trying to keep her warm.

"I'm so sorry..." She sobbed, burying her face in his shoulder.

"Don't be sorry, sweetie," Dean whispered, "It's okay."

"I don't know where I am..." Castiel cried, Dean rubbing her back and kissing her temple again.

"You're in the park near home, Cas." Dean promised, "I'm here, you're okay. Everything's okay."

Dean wouldn't let anything happen to her and she was in such a state he couldn't do anything but look after her. He didn't know why she was so upset. He wanted to ask, but he figured it would be better to wait until he was calmer. She seemed way too upset to talk. The tears fell down her face in big drops and he'd never seen her cry like this once in the five years he'd known her. He just held her to his body, feeling her lips against his cheek.

"Dean?" She whispered, earning a hum from the boy beside her as they both looked at one another.

She pressed her lips to his and Dean, despite the shock, started to kiss her in return. Their lips moved slowly and gently as Dean taught her how to kiss. She held onto him and her sobs seemed to fade with every movement of lips.

"You are really drunk..." Dean said slowly as they broke the kiss, Castiel breaking into even more tears as she just rested herself against his shoulder.

"Do you hate me?" She whispered, Dean barely able to believe the question she'd asked.

"No." He replied, "Of course not."

"I'm sorry." She cried, wiping her eyes and sniffling as Dean kissed her forehead, "Do you want me?"

"Darlin', you're drunk." Dean said softly, stroking some of her tears away, "We'll talk tomorrow, okay? Just calm down before I walk you home."

"I love you, Dean." She whispered, Dean nodding in response.

"I know you do, Cassie. I love you too."

Both of them knew that they were referring to the love they shared through their friendship, and Dean just held her trembling body closer to him.

"You look beautiful, Cassie." He whispered, earning a sweet smile from the young girl.

"Thank you." She replied, "I want to go home, Dean. I want my bed."

She started crying again and hugged him close, Dean hushing her and keeping her close to his body, taking in the beautiful scent of her perfume and the scent of her clean body. He took her hand and helped her up, feeling her stagger a little which led him to hold her around the waist to steady her. She slid on hand into his and held onto it, while Dean did his best to keep her steady.

Finally, they reached her street, and Dean walked her down until they got to the house next door to hers.

"Get yourself into bed, sweetheart." Dean whispered, "Warm up, chin up and smile, okay? I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Bye-bye, Dean." Castiel said softly, wiping her eyes and hugging him tightly.

She pressed a kiss to his cheek and stumbled home, Dean hiding by a wall when her twin brother Jimmy appeared in the doorway, panic there in his eyes.

"Oh, Cas...where've you been, baby? We've been worried." He breathed, bringing Castiel inside.

Dean just heard Castiel's last words before the door closed.

"M'sorry, Jimmy, I lost track of time..."

Dean smiled softly, heading back home with thoughts of Castiel and their kiss lingering in his mind. Maybe she wouldn't remember it.

Inside the Novak home, Jimmy led Castiel upstairs, worry flooding his system as she just burst into tears.

"What's wrong?" Jimmy asked, "What is it, baby girl?"

Castiel shook her head and headed into her lilac bedroom, starting to take her make-up off and brush her hair. Jimmy followed her in and sat on her bed, sighing as she staggered towards him and just slumped down into his arms, burying her face in his neck.

"I'm just tired." She whispered, "Really tired."

"Get yourself to bed, sweetie." Jimmy replied, kissing her head and rubbing her back, "I love you, Cas."

"Love you too, Jimmy." She replied, getting undressed as Jimmy left the room and sliding into bed.

She lay on her side, thinking of her kiss with Dean which sent her into the most pleasant sleep she'd had in ages.

She just knew though that she'd wake up with the mother of all hangovers.
