Love and Betrayal (A Destiel Story)
By Shaiya Kaelos Zeitman
Chapter 4
"Across from me," Dean motioned for Castiel to sit opposite him, on the other bench as the Angel shot him a questioning glance. "It's human custom," he explained, waving a waitress over.
"What can I get for you?" the woman asked cheerily.
"I'll have..let's see...your special and a coffee. He'll have a slice of apple pie, and coffee as well."
The waitress smiled, "Of course, coming right up," and left promptly.
As she turned and walked away, Dean nodded his thanks and turned back to Castiel. "So..."
Castiel's cerulean blue eyes smiled slightly as he spoke, "You make it seem as if we must speak. The silence can be enjoyable as well you know."
Dean grinned and fell silent, looking out the window, but always watching his Angel out the corner of his eye. Just as he was going to turn back and say something, the waitress returned and set their plates down in front of them.
"Enjoy!" she said in the same cheery tone.
The angel cocked his head in that quizzical manner that Dean found made Cas just that much more adorable as he looked at the slice of pie in front of him. "Here," the hunter spoke softly as he added cream and sugar to both drinks, then pointing to the fork by the angel's right hand. "Pick it up and eat. It's not that hard."
His guardian's eyes widened, clearly liking the sweet pastry. "This is quite good!" he exclaimed, then looked at the hunter, "You packed everything this morning. Where are we going?"
Dean watched him wolf down the rest of the pastry before answering. "I got a call from some hunters a few states over. Dude says he has a major ghoul problem. He asked us to come over and help him take down the vampyre controlling and creating them."
Castiel was about to say something, when the waitress returned. "How is everything?" she flashed a flirtatious smile at Dean, a smile that made Cas' skin prickle with annoyance. So much annoyance in fact that he actually answered, "Quite fine, thank you."
Dean caught the waitresses smile as well as the iciness barely hidden in his Angel's voice. "Could we please the check?" Dean enquired with a slight smile, but it was more aimed at Cas than the waitress.
"Of course!" With that, she bustled off through the crowd in the busy diner.
Leaving some cash on the table, Dean said, standing up, "Well, we might as well get going. We're headed for Wisconsin, a shit load of ghouls and a vampire with some serious bad news mojo."
After having ridden in silence broken only by the beat of Dean's music and the occasional small for the rest of the day, Castiel decided to tell Dead the truth he had come to grips with months ago. "Dean..."
His charge turned his head slightly, still keeping a neye on the road as he responded, "Yeah?"
"Do you..." he hesitated, unsure of exactly what to say, "Do you know why I began to fall?"
"Cause you wanted to find God, so you rebelled against Heaven," the hunter replied matter-of-factly.
"Not... quite... That was part of it at first, but just a minor part... In truth, I Fell because I fell in love. I fell in love with the broken human who I had been watching over for decades, with the human I had gripped tight and pulled from perdition."
"You rebelled..." Dean began slowly, not sure whether to believe what had just been told to him or not as he pulled into another motel parking lot, darkness falling quickly over the building, "because you loved... me?"
"Yes, Dean. For you."
"But was it worth it? Am... I worth it?" Dean shut off the engine in looked at the Angel.
Castiel saw the pain and the wonder in his hunter's eyes which were already breaking with uncertainty. He reached over and caressed Dean's cheek with his hand, looking deep into his eyes as he said, "Of course you are," before getting out of the car.
Dean followed him out, still slightly bewildered as he grabbed his bag and walked into the motel room. Once having dropped his bag on the floor by the bed, he sat down on said bed, and starting slightly as he felt an arm around his shoulders. "I meant what I said," Cas whispered in his ear, before pulling Dean to him, kissing him softly. Once again, his eyes filled with wonder and the sum of all the hurts that were permanently engraved there, and the love. But most of all, the need to be loved. "Dean, you are the only one who hasn't abandoned me, the only one who's ever stayed true and faithful to me."
At that, Dean turned and planted one hand on the bed, the other going to cup the Angel's cheek, tilting his head back to cover Castiel's mouth with his. After a moment, they broke the kiss, and Dean moved back so that he was leaning against the pillows, holding Cas close to him. He stared down into sapphire eyes that were full of love and caring, and smiled, before tilted his head back and kissed him softly, then sat up, moving back so that Dean could lean his head onto his shoulder. "Sleep, Dean. You're going to need it... I will be right here when you wake up. Wisconsin can wait for a bit."
Sorry this is taking so long... Reviews are still loved! XD
