Dean let go of the paddle and leaned in close to Castiel. He tried to refrain from making a move on Sam's tutor but he couldn't, the attraction was too strong. He positioned himself between Castiel's legs and kissed him softly on the lips.
Castiel was caught off guard and all he could do was sit there. His first kiss was with Dean Winchester and he wasn't expecting it. He also didn't mind, he really liked it. The older teen pulled away some and touched his lips, they felt so naked after separating from Dean's.
"Don't tell me you've never kissed anyone before." Dean asked. He noticed how awkward his angel seemed about the kiss.
Castiel didn't answer but the faint blush on his cheeks answered it for him. He was flustered easily, especially by Dean.
"You just keep getting better and better." He grabbed Castiel's shirt and tugged him into another light kiss. He heard a slight gasp slip from the teen's lips and he grinned at the sound. He enjoyed the idea of being Castiel's first kiss. At the rate they were going he planned to be his first at some other things as well. Dean broke the kiss this time and let his fingers ghost over the small patch of exposed skin on Castiel's shoulder. "Are you a virgin?" He bluntly asked.
That only flustered Castiel more. Why was he asking all of those questions? "T-that's inappropriate to discuss, Dean!" He huffed.
Dean laughed softly and tilted his head. "Yeah because you're so damn sheltered." Dean wasn't just interested in sex but it definitely caught his attention. Castiel's body was nice but he wanted to know more about Castiel too. It was the first time that he took deep interest in someone and he had properly decided to invest more time. "So answer my question, angel."
Castiel bit his bottom lip and quietly nodded. He felt embarrassed and didn't want Dean to know he was a virgin- he didn't want anyone to know. It was private and he didn't talk to anyone about sex and didn't plan on it. He honestly thought that Dean would laugh at him but he was surprised when the laughter never happened. Castiel wasn't like most people his age. He didn't know the social norms or trends of a teenager. "I am."
Dean would be lying of he said he wasn't pleased by the tutor's answer. "See? Was that so hard to say?" He pecked Castiel on the lips once more before gripping onto the paddles again and pushing against the sluggish water.
Castiel followed suit but kept his gaze on the small waves they made in the water. He couldn't even look at Dean. He had never experienced anything like that before and had no idea how to handle it. Perhaps Dean was right; he was sheltered. Castiel didn't date because his mother raised him to focus on his studies and only his studies. So he didn't get that type of social interaction that would have prepared him for Dean's advances. He knew he couldn't ignore it since he had feelings for Dean, so he would wing it. "Dean?"
"Hm?" He cooed, bringing his attention back to the brunette.
"Will you drive me somewhere?"
Dean raised a brow. "Yeah sure where do you need to go?"
"Campus tours. We are in our final year and I am to attend three tours before the end of the month."
"Your mother has you on a tight schedule. It's your vacation, man." Dean changed the direction of the boat and headed back towards the dock. "Which places are you checking out?"
"One here in Wisconsin and two in Iowa." He said dryly. Those were the places his mother wanted him to look at but his heart was yearning for Illinois.
"You don't sound so sure."
"They were chosen for me."
"What do you want?"
He looked at Dean with a look of pure confusion. Had anyone ever asked him what he wanted? Had anyone truly cared? "Illinois."
"Then that's where we're going." When the boat hit up against the wooden staircase the Winchester stood and tied the boat to the post. "Come on, let me grab my car keys and we can go." He reached his hand out to Castiel and smiled.
He took Dean's hand and they headed back to the house.
Dean texted Sam to tell him that they would be back a little later because they went to look at colleges which pleased their parents. They thought Castiel was a great influence on Dean. They had been trying to get their son searching for months now. Sam knew more though. Dean wouldn't willingly just go check out schools; he didn't even know where he wanted to go. Obviously Castiel was the only reason he would consider going.
Dean didn't mind driving Castiel to Illinois. Personally, he liked getting him to step outside of his shell. It was like opening up an entirely new world to someone.
"I am considering disobedience." He said out of nowhere as he looked out the window. Since they weren't going to discuss the kissing situation he felt he should tell Dean what was on his mind.
Dean raised a brow. "Oh?"
"Yes." He wasn't sure what had gotten into him but he wanted to do everything that had been forbidden. Maybe it was because Dean made him feel so incredibly daring or perhaps it was because Dean encouraged him to follow what he desired. Either way, he wanted to cross that prison line.
"I'm sure your disobedience isn't bad but what the hell, I'm down~" He wouldn't let Castiel do something stupid; the last thing he wanted was to screw up this intelligent student's life. He did plan to show his angel a different side of living. Castiel was sheltered and conservative, he wanted to loosen him up a bit. "So does your mom know you have other schools in mind?"
He tore his gaze from the window and looked at Dean. "No. She would not be pleased. She has a path for us."
"Us?"
"My brothers and I."
"When did you get brothers, man?"
"I've always had them. They no longer stay with my mother and I and we barely speak. Balthazar, the eldest, left first when he was 18. He never let mother control him. Gabriel left soon after when he turned 17."
Balthazar was now 23 and Gabriel was 21. They wanted to come back for Castiel but she threatened to send him to boarding school if they attempted. She was controlling and didn't like disobedience. She liked everything to go her way.
"And you stayed?"
He nodded. "I couldn't just leave her." The only reason he didn't speak with his brothers as often was because they left him with her. He was too young to leave with them. "I care for her but I do not like her."
Dean felt bad. He couldn't even imagine having a bad relationship with his mother or his brother. "You should talk to your brothers."
"Perhaps."
"Dude, you deserve to make your own decisions. Don't feel bad for it either. You just turned 18 right?" Dean asked.
"Yes."
"Then live your life or you'll regret it. Don't be anyone's bitch."
Castiel stared at the driver. He was amazed at how outspoken Dean was. He would love to have that spark. "Thank you."
The drive took a few hours but they finally arrived in Evanston Illinois. Dean pulled into one of the parking lots of Northwestern University and parked near the door. Their journey was just beginning.
