Chapter Three

"Oh my GOD, I can't believe we're here Dean!"

Cas watched in awe as the New York City skyline came into view, his excitement reaching unbelievable levels as he bounced in the car seat and hung his head out of the Impala window, letting the New York air hit his face as they drove over the Brooklyn Bridge towards the big apple.

Dean chuckled at Cas' excitement and glanced at the sight ahead, as they rapidly got closer to their first big city and what a city.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Dean held tightly onto Cas' hand as he pulled them both excitedly through the mass of people in the middle of times square.

Cas dragged them towards the middle, where there was less people and they could take in the sight around them. He stood in the middle with a big grin, gazing up at the skyscrapers and around at the many stores and restaurants surrounding them.

Dean pulled a face when the infamous 'cowboy' in his underwear passed by them, tipping his hat at Cas who laughed in amusement.

"Ah Dean this is amazing, I love it here already" Cas exclaimed, tugging on his boyfriend's hand and grinning happily.

"Yeah it's pretty awesome…a lot of people though…" Dean mumbled in reply. He was also a little in awe of NYC and he wasn't lying he did think it was awesome, somewhere he always wanted to visit but Dean wasn't one for big crowds.

Cas pulled him towards the giant red steps, letting go of Dean and running up them, standing half way up.

"Dean take my picture" He shouted back down to his boyfriend, Dean couldn't help but smile at Cas' enthusiasm and pulled out Cas' little camera they had bought in the town before.

He took a photo of Cas stood on the steps, arms spread wide with a perfect view of times square behind him. Dean felt a tap on his shoulder and whirled around to see an older lady smiling at him.

"Do you want me to take a photograph of you and your friend?" She asked kindly.

Dean smiled in return.

"Boyfriend…and yes that would be great thank you" he said proudly, wanting to clarify exactly what Cas was to him…not that the stranger cared, but Dean did.

He half expected a funny look from the lady but she simply smiled and took hold of Cas' camera, motioning for Dean to join his boyfriend. He grinned happily, noting that he was in NYC and why the hell anyone would care if Cas was his boyfriend, it was a far cry away from his home town.

As soon as Dean joined Cas on the steps, his boyfriend pulled him close and wrapped his arms around Dean, a big grin on his face…to which Dean couldn't prevent his own grin as he returned the hug.

They smiled for their photograph and hopped down to retrieve the camera, Dean thanked the nice lady and Cas smiled down at the photo.

Cas turned the camera off and turned to Dean, pulling him in for a quick kiss.

"I love you" He muttered, smiling against his boyfriends lips.

"Love you too" Dean replied with a smirk and pecked Cas' lips once more.

"Alright, where to next?" Dean asked, clapping his hands together.

Castiel grinned widely and dragged Dean towards their next destination.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Dean near enough collapsed on their bed when they got back to the hotel.

"What a dayyyy" Dean whined, rubbing his sore feet.

"It was incredible, can't believe we managed to fit so much in" Cas beamed, clicking through the many photos now on his camera.

"I could use a drink…we could go find a bar tonight?" Dean suggested.

Cas shot Dean a look and rolled his eyes.

"We're only 18 baby, what bar would serve us or even let us through the front door?"

Dean huffed slightly.

"I dunno…I'm sure there will be somewhere…come on we can at least try"

"You know I'm not one for bars Dean…"

He sighed loudly, before collapsing back onto the bed in defeat. Cas felt a pang of guilt, knowing he had dragged Dean everywhere he wanted to go that day, he felt incredibly selfish but he was certain they wouldn't even get into a bar.

"…fine, you find a bar that will have us and I'll go" Cas said with a resigned sigh.

Dean shot up on the bed and threw himself at Cas, kissing all over his gorgeous face and causing him to laugh.

"love you love you love you! It will be fun I swear, I'll go see what I can find out and get us a starbucks while I'm out there yeah?" Dean smiled excitedly, holding Cas' face between his hands.

Castiel nodded and smiled, declaring he was going to get a shower. Dean practically ran out of the hotel room, not knowing where or whom to ask first but he was determined to come back with coffee and an answer.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Well, he came back with an answer…

Dean practically tore back through the hotel room door 30 minutes later with a huge grin on his face.

Cas was sat on the edge of their bed watching some crappy soap opera, he looked at Dean with a blank stare.

"I HAVE THE BEST NEWS EVER!" Dean declared, bouncing up and down.

"Umm Dean…Coffee?" Cas asked, noting his boyfriend was in fact empty handed.

An answer but no coffee…

Dean frowned and realisation hit him.

"Fuck…I forgot! Sorry baby, but I got talking to this really awesome guy…"

Castiel crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at Dean, an unimpressed look on his face.

"Oh don't look at me like that…he was telling me about this bar…"

"Go on…" Cas said, motioning for Dean to continue.

"…It is only 10 minutes away from here, serves some of the best beer in the city, they are really loose on ID, they let practically anyone in and the best part…IT'S A FREAKIN COYOTE UGLY STYLE BAR"

Cas rolled his eyes and shook his head at Dean.

"Ok…"

"Oh come on Cas, you love that movie…it will be awesome and we are pretty much guaranteed to get in and get served" Dean pushed, sitting next to Cas on the bed, hope filling his eyes.

"I do love that movie…but you do know it won't be the same bar right?"

"Duh! I don't care…it will still be fun, pretty please?"

Cas smirked at Dean's begging and took hold of his chin, giving him a long, hard kiss on the lips.

"Fine…we will go"

Dean shot up off the bed and fist pumped the air.

"On three conditions…"

He was immediately back down beside Cas, nodding his head vigorously already in agreement with the terms and not even knowing what they are.

"…One – you don't leave my side, you know how much I hate bars and we are in a strange place…"

"Yeah of course, I wouldn't dare leave you alone in a bar, some hot guy would pounce you and I couldn't take the jealously" Dean said with a serious look and Cas laughed.

"…Two – Don't get too drunk ok? I don't want to have to drag your ass back here later…"

Dean grimaced slightly, but reluctantly agreed…he didn't say he couldn't get drunk…just not TOO drunk. He could deal.

" and three…you have to take me to see 'Phantom of the opera' tomorrow night" Cas declared with a shit eating grin.

"Ohhh come on Cas…a musical, really?" Dean whined like a child.

Castiel simply nodded a smile on his face and knowing Dean would give in.

"Urgh…fine, fine…you win" Dean said with a defeated sigh and pecked Cas on the lips.

"Good…coyote ugly style bar it is then!"

Dean's grin returned in record time.
