Chapter 3

Dean woke up next morning, feeling fresh and well rested. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth, took a bath and went downstairs. He filled his mouth with a huge bite of the sandwich which Sam had made for him for lunch, on his way out of the house. He said goodbye to his father, mouth still filled with sandwich.

'Do you need lunch money, since you no longer have any lunch left? ´ His father shouted after him but he was already gone.

He reached school and met ash at his locker. He walked up to him and slapped him on the back.

'Hey man, imp sorry I couldn't make it yesterday. You know I love you, right? ´said dean, making a pouty face and batting his eyelashes, trying to look like a girl. He mostly looked like a jerk, but it still made ash smile.

'What's not to love? Anyway, you're forgiven if you let me copy your calculus homework today. It's due in the 5th period and I have no idea what I have to do. Deal? 'Said ash.

'You got it!' said dean as he walked down the corridor with his best friends towards his class.

The rest of the day was quite uneventful and things were the same as usual. Dean made evening plans with his friends and reached home by his usual time. As soon as he entered the house, he heard his father talking on the phone with someone.

'Yeah, I think it'll be a good idea'

'Don't worry about that. There's no problem, I promise. We would love to have him here…'

'I insist. We can try it for a week and if he doesn't feel at home, I'll help him look for an apartment.'

'Great, so he can come over tonight, and then we'll see how it goes.'

'Yeah, okay, take care'

John put down the phone and saw dean standing there, staring at him.

Dean knew what the phone call was about but he still wanted to make sure, 'hey dad, what was that about?'

'Oh, that was castiel's father. So, I talked to him and Castiel will come and stay with us for a week and if he feels comfortable here, he might stay here for a semester or two. He's going to college here, I told you. Remember? Anyway, he'll be coming over tonight.'

Dean nodded in acknowledgement of his father's explanation of the phone call and went to his room. He felt weird at the thought of Castiel staying with him under the same roof for a week, or longer, depending on how things went. It was the same feeling he got last night. Something in his stomach, something he felt when he looked cas in the eyes, those blue eyes!

Wait, did he just call him 'cas' in his mind wile thinking about the feeling he gets in his stomach when he looks into his eyes. Dean Winchester does not think about his feelings in his spare time, let alone feeling towards a guy, no matter how beautiful their eyes are! He just called castiel's eyes 'beautiful'. What the hell is going on? Stop thinking and get to homework. You have plans this evening.

Dean finished his homework and listened to some music and tried irritating Sam for a while, winning himself the 'bitch face'. Around six o'clock he went downstairs and shouted to his father who was in the kitchen:

'dad, imp going out. Will be back in a couple of hours.'

'Wait dean, Castiel will be here soon, where are you going?'

'I was going to go out with ash and Jo and Bella. You can't ask me to stay back again! I missed his birthday yesterday, dad! I'm going out today!'

'cool down, don't get to hyper. Just wait for a while, Castiel will be here soon. And then you can take him with you. Introduce him to your friends, make him feel at home. Come on dean, he'll be living here. He'll need some friends to adjust to this place.'

As soon as his dad finished his sentence, there was a knock on the door. Dean went to answer it. It was Castiel. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a blue t-shirt that matched his eyes.

'hey dean. I…. uh, your dad invited me to spend some days here' Castiel felt the need to explain what he was doing there, since dean looked at his like a deer caught in a headlight.

'yeah, he told me... come on in... I'm sorry... I was a little distracted' dean regained his composure. Damn those eyes!

Castiel picked up a bag that was lying next to him and came inside the house. Dean offered to take the bad from him, and his fingers brushed against cas'. He drew back he hand, as if he caught a current by the touch. If cas noticed, he didn't say anything.

'hey Castiel, you're here! So, I have cleaned the room that is next to deans so you can have it. And I hope you feel at home here. The kitchen is over there. Feel free to help yourself as and when you wish and that's it. And yeah, welcome.' Said john as he gave cas a hug.

Cas smiled.

'oh cas, I mean.. Castiel, I was just going out to meet my friends. Would you like to join me? They'd be glad to meet you and then you won't have to be stuck in here till dinner.' Dean joked as he winked at his father.

'that'd be great. thanks dean.'

'oh, leave your stuff here; we can put it in its place after we come back. Let's go. Bye dad'

Said dean and he and cas made their way out of the house and onto the street.
