A/N: Sorry for the weird chapter thing in the first post! I am new to fan fiction so I'm still learning! Again, sorry for the wait, I've been so busy! Please review! reviews mean so much to me! Btw, this fanfiction is being written while ruby is alive and Cas and Dean and Demons are nonexistent and yeah its messed up!
Dean could tell that his friendship with Castiel Novak was over. He had yelled at him when Cas was right and sorry for what he had done. Cas was confused and sad and Dean had yelled at him like he was a puppy that stole food off the counter. Cas and Dean were everything to each other, best friends and now Dean had destroyed any chance he had of being more than that. He put his head in his hands and felt a tear fall onto his faded blue jeans. He sat in a jail cell and cried. The prisoner in the cell next to his just looked at him sadly and said.
"Are you alright kid?" Dean jumped up and hurriedly rubbed his eyes.
"Fine!" He said but his voice cracked and gave him away. The woman raised his eyebrows and said,
"What happened?" Dean sighed. He may as well tell her everything, he was going to jail anyway.
"I killed my best friends brother because he was abusing him. I didn't mean to and it was an accident but Cas, my best friend told them about the attack and they assumed that I meant it. Cas was in shock and scared and he didn't know what he was saying. I yelled at him and said I hated him and that he was horrible when I'm the one who killed His brother, I'm the one who yelled at him. Now he probably hates me and I'll never be able to see him again to say how sorry I am and how I wish that- that..." The woman smiled sadly and said,
"Buddy, of course he doesn't hate you!" Dean looked confused and said,
"What do you mean?"
"He probably hates himself more than he hates you! I know if that were to happen to me, I wouldn't hate you, I would hate myself for telling the cops in the first place. I would think that you hated me! You two both probably think the other hates them and both hate themselves." Dean's mouth was hanging open. The woman grinned and said,
"Oh yeah and one more thing," Dean looked at him, curiously. The woman closed her eyes and when she opened them, they were pitch black. Dean recognized those demon eyes anywhere.
"Ruby..." He muttered. She smiled and said,
"I know exactly what you feel and what you and Castiel have been going through. You need to take control of your feelings Dean. You know what you feel and I know what Castiel feels and let me tell you," She moved closer to the bars and whispered, "He likes you more than you think." And with that, she vanished.
Cas was sitting in the hospital bed, crying when Ruby came in. He hurriedly brushed away his tears but his eyes were still red and puffy. Ruby couldn't help but feel sorry for the teenager, he had been through so much. Ruby sat down and smiled. Cas sat up nervously and said,
"Who are you?" Ruby turned her eyes black and Cas jumped back.
"I'm a demon Castiel Novak but I'm here to help. My name's Ruby," Cas was breathing heavily, he thought that Demons were extinct, that all of that was over. His father had told him. Cas had heard of the legendary Ruby, the demon that went rogue and fought for the humans, against her own kind. Ruby was Cas's role model, he was honored to be in her presence,
"Ruby! I know who you are! You are the rogue Demon who helped the humans." Ruby nodded and said,
"Listen to me, this is important. I was just talking to Dean and-" Cas's eyes lit up and he interrupted her with,
"Dean? Is he alright?" Ruby loved how worried and concerned Cas was for Dean. She said,
"He's absolutely fine, better than fine actually. That's what I need to tell you!" Cas cocked his head and said,
"What do you mean?" Ruby rolled her eyes and said,
"You think he hates you don't you? You think that this is all your fault?" Cas nodded confidently and said,
"I'm positive."
"That's exactly what he thinks of you!"
"What?"
"He thinks that this is all his fault and you hate him, he thinks that your friendship is over." Cas shook his head and said,
"No of course not! It's my fault, not his! And he should hate me!" Ruby was getting impatient,
"Can't you see?! He wants to apologize to you, to make everything better and to tell you-" Ruby said.
"Tell me what? Ruby what did he say?" Ruby calmed down and said with a huge grin on her face,
"He didn't say this but his heart was screaming it. He wants to tell you that he loves you and that he always will. Not as a brother or a friend. I know how both of you feel about the other and one of you needs to take up the courage and say it." Cas sat there, shocked. He had heard of Ruby's amazing talents but mind reading was never one of them. Before he could say anything, she was gone. Cas sat in his hospital bed, puzzling over what the demon had said. Did Cas love Dean? Is that what he felt everyday with him? Were the butterflies in his stomach trying to tell him something? Cas thought about whenever Dean smiled, how he would feel all previous sadness vanish like dust on the wind and all he could see was Dean. The way Cas felt was definitely more than friendship. He suddenly realized something amazing, something extraordinary. He realized that he was in love with Dean Winchester.
Dean sat shocked, not believing what the demon had told him, what did she mean? That Cas liked him more than he thought? Did it mean what he thought it did? Did Cas love him? Did Dean love Cas? These questions whirled around his head and Dean ran through all their encounters, the ones where Cas blushed, stuttered or tripped while looking at Dean, the times Dean caught him staring at him, the times that Dean blushed while staring at Cas, Dean had never truly been in love so he had no idea what to think. He pieced every encounter together and he suddenly realized something amazing, something extraordinary. He realized that he was in love with Castiel Novak.
Once Cas was all better, he was allowed to visit Dean in his cell, ((I know I know, that would never happen)) They both greeted each other just like friends and Cas sat next to him silently. Dean picked up the courage to say,
"Listen Cas, A woman visited me last night," Cas sighed and said,
"Ruby the rogue demon, yes I know. She visited me too." Dean was so surprised,
"Demon? You know about them? She visited you too?" Cas nodded,
"I know about demons, not as much as your family but I am aware of them. And she did visit me." Dean coughed awkwardly and asked,
"What did you guys talk about?" Cas blushed a furious bright red and Dean knew exactly what they talked about.
"We mostly talked about what her and you talked about, she told me about your conversation and what you feel." Dean scrambled for something to say,
"Listen Cas, I'm so sorry if you don't- I don't know if- I was tired- She-I-" Cas smiled and interrupted his confused thoughts by kissing him. It was light and gentle. Dean was shocked at first but his shock quickly turned to delighted surprise. Dean kissed him back. soft and gently. Cas could tell that Dean wanted more but Cas pulled away. Dean smiled and said,
"Well that clears a lot up." Cas grinned and said,
"I love you." Dean sighed happily. He was so happy that he understood what Ruby said, so happy she was right but even more happy that,
"I love you too." They kissed again, this time with more passion. Dean cupped his hand around Cas' neck and deepened the kiss. They didn't care that Cas still had a broken arm, that Dean was going to jail, nor that they were both guys. But they did care about each other. Then they heard a voice and they jumped away from each other,
"What. The. Hell. Is going on?" Dean's mouth gaped as he watched Sam drop the beer bottle he had brought for Dean. Sam had come to see Dean but he had seen much more than that.
