Today was just not Dean's day. First, he woke up with a huge ass headache and only made it worse by slipping on the soap in the shower and probably giving himself a minor concussion. After that he walked downstairs to eat a bowl of cereal before going to school but of course, all the fucking Cocoa Puffs were gone. Dean reminded himself to slap that bitch face off Sammy as soon as he got home. Now he was finally at school but somehow his calculus homework managed to slip out of his backpack and into the blackhole of trash in his backseat. "CAN THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE?" he screamed at the empty parking lot. With a frustrated sigh he climbed into the back seat and started rifling through the garbage, hoping that the homework was even in the car. He pushed past half eaten doughnuts and crumpled up papers until he saw what he'd been looking for. He triumphantly whispered "FUCK YES!" to himself and grabbed the sheet. He was about to crawl out of the uncomfortable position he had somehow gotten himself into until he heard the drivers side door slam and someone turn the engine on. Deans eyes went wide and he froze in place. Holy shit. Someone's jacking my car. He hastily poked his head up to look over the back seat to get a peek at the driver. There was a guy with dark hair sitting in the drivers seat. He looked like he was maybe 17 and he was dressed in a black sweatshirt and ripped jeans. Dean guessed he was probably a student at the high school too. Still silent, Dean quickly ducked back into the back seat. Think Dean, think. I think I could probably take him but if he's brave enough to steal a fucking car he probably carries a weapon. Shit, what if he has a gun? Dean ends up making a really stupid plan that'll probably get him killed but theres no way in hell that Dean Winchester is letting himself and his Impala get kidnapped.
"Who the fuck are you?" Dean says like a smart ass when he pops his head up from the back. The guy in the front seat jumps and quickly spins around. His face is pale and he looks as if he's seen a ghost. Dean notices that he has large dark blue eyes and a light dust of stubble around his mouth.
"Y-You're not supposed to be here." the guy says in an unsteady voice.
"I'm not supposed to be here? In my own car?" Dean tries to reply casually and the guy gives him a funny look.
"Aren't you scared of me? I'm stealing your car. You should be terrified right now." the guy snaps. Dean cocks his head at the uncertainty of the strangers voice.
"Well, what are you gonna do? Kill me?" Dean questions and the guy gives him another strange look. "No, I would never-" he starts but cuts himself off when he see's Dean visibly start to relax. "Y'know, you're not taking this car." Dean says nonchalantly. The strangers eyes widen and he looks at Dean with disbelief. This guy looks harmless. One of his buddies probably dared him to steal a car or some shit. Dean thinks to himself.
"Why don't you just step out of the car and we'll both be on our ways?" Dean suggests and all the guy does is continue to stare at him in bewilderment.
"Here, I'll go first. But I got my eye on you." Dean warns as he climbs out of the back seat and stands on the pavement with his hands raised above his head. The guy carefully watches Dean get out and to Deans amazement, he gets out too. "Awesome. Now if you'll just be on your way and not try to pull something like this again I won't call the cops." Dean says smoothly, and the guy shocks Dean again when he stretches his hand out for a handshake.
"I-I'm really sorry this had to happen. It's a long story and- yeah. I'm Castiel." he says nervously. Dean takes his hand gives Castiel a strong handshake. "Dean. Dean Winchester." he says and smiles. "I knew you weren't into stealing my baby here when you didn't try to knock me out or some shit. And thank you for not doing that by the way." Castiel looks down at his sneakers for a second and glances at Dean. "Why are you thanking me? I could've been some total psycho." he says carefully.
"But I knew you weren't because honestly dude, you look like you wouldn't hurt a fly." Dean laughs and Castiel continues to stare at Dean with a that's not funny look. Damn, is this guy getting bitch face lessons from Sammy? Dean thinks.
"So, uh, do you go to school here? I don't think I've ever seen you around before." Dean says casually because hell, talking to some guy that tried to steal his car is a hell of alot better than sitting in Biology.
"Um yeah. I'm a junior. You?" Castiel says as he drops his hands to his sides. "Same here." Dean says as he grins at Castiel. Castiel gives an awkward half smile back and he raises his hand to brush it through his hair nervously. This kid's really got some confidence issues. Dean notes.
"Well, uh we better get heading to class?" Castiel offers. "You're right. Well I guess I'll see ya around Cas. And no more stealing cars." Dean jokes as he walks towards the building. Cas stares at Dean walking away for a moment before he shouts "Hey Dean? Did you just call me 'Cas'?" Dean turns around and grins at him. "Castiel's too long. Cas is just right." he says and winks. Castiel watches Dean glide inside and all he can think about right now is how the fuck Dean can smile that much without pulling a cheek muscle.
