Smash Into You

Chapter 2

Castiel woke up in the back seat of the Impala, his joints stiff and his head throbbing. He looked to his right and found Dean asleep on his shoulder, Sam still in the driver's seat.

"How long have I been out?" Castiel asked Sam in a groggy tone. Sam nearly jumped out of his skin, not knowing that Castiel was awake.

"Don't do that to me!" Sam said trying to catch his breath. "You have been out for close to five hours. What the hell happened back there?" Sam asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Just about everything I expected. I showed up, and Meg trapped us in the holy fire, but I didn't know Lucifer was going to be there. I should have been able to detect his presence, but I guess he has the power to mask his presence from other angels." He replied making sure not to move and wake up Dean.

"But I'm still confused as to how you found me. How did you know I was in Arizona?" Sam asked with a wrinkled forehead.

"Well, you haven't been keeping a particularly low profile. Also, demons can speak the truth, if you offer the right…" Castiel stopped when Dean started to wake up from his seemingly deep sleep.

"Hey dude, how are you feeling? They really got the one up on you in there. What were you thinking showing up like that with Lucifer around?" Dean asked in an almost taunting way.

"Getting caught by Meg was part of the plan, but Lucifer being there was not. I will admit, it was a lackluster plan, but it got the job done." Castiel said, sounding a little ticked off that Dean seemed less then grateful.

"Well, thanks… for the help… I guess. Okay, let's cut this sappy crap and get some food. It's been a long time sense I last had a bite to eat." Dean said, just before taking notice to Sam, who was keeping quiet in the front. "Oh hey Sammy, when the hell did you get here? It was real nice of you to show up with my car, you know, after running off and leaving me stranded like that back in Philly. Real classy." Dean said in an overly sarcastic and pissed off tone.

"Well… it was the least I could do?" Sam said in a trying to sound adorable way. "What was I supposed to do?! You wouldn't listen to me, and those people down in Arizona really needed our help, what with FAMINE running around destroying all there food!" Sam yelled at the windshield.

"What the hell are we supposed to do against a dude that kills a bunch of crops, bring more food? I have a feeling that wouldn't work out so well-" Dean started before being interupeted.

"Can you two stop fighting for one minute? We just passed four diners and Dean needs to eat." Castiel said over protectively, getting a surprised look from both Dean and Sam.

"Sure Cas, sorry about that." Sam replied, still in shock.

"Are you alright? You seem more irritated then usual. Maybe you should eat something too after that… whatever happened in there. What exactly was that?" Dean asked as Sam turned into the next diner.

"Lucifer gave me a taste of the power he could give me, if I joined sides with him. With that kind of power, I could heal Bobby with just the blink of an eye, and I was still only at one tenth of Lucifers powers." Castiel said with a look of apprehension spreading over his face.

"Woo there, your not actually thinking of joining up with the devil, are you Cas?" Dean said with a strange glint of worry, as if he just thought of losing his best friend.

Castiel shot an 'as if' look at Dean. "No, I meant what I said back there. What he is doing is wrong, and I will never stand by him. I'm sticking with you guys, seeing as how you are man kind's last hope for a peaceful outcome from the Apocalypse." He said to Dean, with an almost smile, making Dean smile back, relaxing against the back of the seat.

As the were heading into the diner, Dean grabbed Castiel's shoulder, wanting to have a word with him, giving Sam a nod letting him know that they would be right in. Sam went in and got a booth, while Dean led Castiel over to the side of the building. "Hey, I wanted to talk to you about something. Maybe you should rethink Lucifer's offer. I mean, you are a renegade angel, and the way things are looking now, it might put you on the winning side." Dean said shifting the weight between both feet; as if nervous that he would truly lose Castiel.

"You're joking, right? Dean, I could never do that. He is destroying everything my father has created. How can I just join him in killing everything that I have loved for my entire existence?" Castiel claimed, almost getting red in the face. "Also that would take me away for the one thing I really care for." Cas said sheepishly, hoping that Dean missed that last part.

"Cas, I'm serious. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Even if we do win, you are gonna be next on the chopping block for the angels. I just don't wanna see anymore of my friends die." Dean said moving into a full nervous sway. "Especially not you..." he said almost inaudible.

"NO!" Castiel yelled, this was the first time Dean had ever heard him raise his voice. "I'm not leaving you, Dean!" He stopped himself right then when he realized what he said, reading the shock in Dean's eyes.

"Us, you mean us, right? You're not leaving me and Sammy, right?" Dean said avoiding eye contact in fear of the angel's response.

"No, Dean, I'm not leaving you. There is something special about you, something that I don't see in any other human. It's as if I'm drawn to you specifically, even if I tried to leave, I couldn't. It would hurt too much, like I would be losing a part of myself." Castiel said looking deeply into Dean's awe struck green eyes.

"Are you saying…?" Dean started but before he could finish "I'm saying I love you Dean. And I'm not leaving your side. I will always be there to protect you, no matter who tries to stand in our way. And I understand that you don't have the same feelings for me, and that's something I will deal with on my own." Castiel finished with a huge breath of air, like he was getting ready to hyperventilate.

With that Dean whipped his arms around Castiel's neck and pulled them together as they shared their first kiss. A long, hard kiss, as if it had been building up energy from when Castiel first pulled Dean from hell. Castiel pushed Dean up against the wall of the diner, trying to find something to do with his arms, looking for something to grab on to. He reached his arms around Deans back and pulling him in, trying to create friction. Castiel felt Dean's hard member poking him in the leg, bringing his own cock to full attention. After a solid five minutes of making out and rubbing up against each other, Castiel pulled himself off of Dean, looking him in the eyes and said "Sam is going to be look for us if we don't get in there."

Dean hated to agree, feeling like he had just been inadvertently cock blocked by his brother, with out Sam even knowing. "You're killing me, you know that? But you're right. We are finishing this tonight, though, in the Impala, after Sam goes to bed. Deal?" Dean asked looking for another kiss from the angel.

"You say that as if I don't want to. You don't know how wrong you are." Castiel said, reaching in for one more kiss before leading the way into the diner. The whole way he could tell Dean was looking for an excuse to tell Sam what had kept them so long.
