Chapter 1
The guys had been sitting around the bunker for a few days. They had all been in agreement to take a few days off for a well-deserved break. The problem was as much as Dean said he would love to spend some time off, after a couple of days, he became a little cranky.
"I'm going to the damn store!"
Ok, a lot cranky.
"We need a few things. And if Cas is going to be staying here, he should have some stuff for his room."
"Dean, I don't require anything."
"Yes you do! You need your own TV so that when you binge watch Dr. Who it can be in your own room and not in mine or Sam's while you question everything about the time vortex and why there has to be a rift in time in Cardiff!"
"Well, I know of better places then…."
"Exactly!"
Sam smiled. "Dean, maybe it's time we find a case."
"Fine, but I'm still going. I need to get out of here for a while."
"Ok, well I'll look for us a case."
"I'll look for one." Said Cas.
Sam looked confused. "You sure Cas?"
"Yes, it will give me something to do. I can feel helpful."
"You are helpful Cas. Stop acting like a girl." Said Dean.
"Thank you Dean." Said Cas sarcastically.
"No problem. I'll see you guys in a little while."
Sam turned to Cas. "You can use my laptop Cas. I'm going to finish cataloging the last of these cases. I'll be downstairs if you need me."
"Thanks Sam."
When Cas opened the laptop he decided to look closer to the bunker. He had a feeling the best thing to do was look for a case closer to the bunker. The sooner they could get a case, the sooner Dean could stop snapping at everybody and playing with weapons that destroy furniture.
He opened the browser and searched for, Kansas, unsolved, supernatural. The results he got, was not what he expected. There was a long list of places and websites where you could buy Chuck's Supernatural books. There was also a list of fan sites. Cas couldn't help but smile. Even though most of them believed the stories to be works of fiction, the fact that they all still looked at Dean and Sam like heroes warmed his heart. They rarely never got thanked for the lives they save. But in this fan world people wanted to be just like them. Castiel understood that feeling. He decided to open a few of the fan sites to see what people said.
Most of it was praises. And there was some disappointment because the books ended. People had different theories as to what happened next. Some believed Sam beat Lucifer in the cage, over powered him and took over hell. Some believed the story didn't really go on. Dean married Lisa and had a bunch more kids living the apple pie life that Dean always wanted, and that Sam's sacrifice saved his soul and that he went to heaven to watch over his brother until he joined him. Cas smiled warmly.
"That's a sweet thought." He was glad that in the end the brothers were saved. But, also the thought of Sam being safe and happy in heaven with Jessica, and Dean living the life that he always wanted with Lisa made him wish a little that, that ending, was real. The only thing he ever really wanted was for them to be happy. Especially Dean. He really admired and loved Sam and he did only want the best for him. But he's always felt responsible and protective over Dean. He and his brothers and sisters fought very hard (some to the death) to bring Dean out of hell. All of that blood and sacrifice for this one righteous man. And then all these years getting to know him, learning what kind of man he truly is, just makes him want to protect him more. He truly wishes for him to be happy.
As he was scrolling through all the fan comments (and criticisms) he seen a link that confused him.
'Why Destiel is a real thing. What Dean and Castiel's relationship really means.'
"What is this?" Cas mumbled.
When he clicked the link and started reading, he had no idea what he was getting into and how much it was going to change him.
