From Blue Eyes:

But you can join us if you want?

Castiel quickly sends after Dean's text, he has never typed that fast in his life.

From Freckles:

Sure, I'll meet you by your locker.

Dean smiled, replying Castiel's text.

Maybe not everything is ruined.

Dean found Castiel by his locker, getting books out of his bag and placing it in his organized locker.

"Guess who?" Dean asked huskily after placing his hands before his eyes, making Castiel freeze instantly. However Castiel quickly recognized the voice.

"Hello Dean." Castiel responded, closing his locker and turning around. He was now facing Dean and even though he was getting used to his looks, Dean took his breath away every time.

"You're no fun." Dean pouted, almost making Castiel groan. Oh, how he wanted to kiss that adorable pout on his face. Instead, he walked past him, no longer trapped between the lockers and Dean's body, scolding himself for the thoughts popping into his head. What if he slips up when Dean is around, he will be losing a potential friend. Not that he doesn't have any friends, he just doesn't want to ruin this one.

Of course Castiel wanted more than just friends, but he didn't know how Dean felt about his and he sure as hell wasn't going to ask. Too many risks.

They finally reached the cafeteria that was placed on the other side of the school. Castiel easily spotted his friends sitting at a table near the doors leading outside. Sometimes they sat outside, eating under a large willow tree in the shadows. Today was too cold to sit outside so they were forced indoors.

Instead of going to the group, he took Dean to the food section, figuring he must be hungry. Today was pizza day so the food section was crazy busy, students everywhere trying to get a slice of pizza. Castiel wasn't fan of larger groups of people, he would feel claustrophobic surrounded by walls of people. Like he couldn't get out if he wanted to. His breathing quickened and his eyes darted around, looking for an opening.

Luckily he had Dean, somehow grounding him with only grabbing his hand so they wouldn't get separated. His breathing slowed down again, returning back to normal. Dean had a great impact on Castiel without even knowing.

"Are you okay?" A deep concerned voice asked him. Castiel focused his gaze on Dean, noticing the frown and remembering he had to actually answer instead of staring at him.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." Castiel tried with a not convincing smile on his face. Castiel's cheeks turned scarlet red when he looked down, seeing their intertwined hands. Either Dean didn't notice or Dean didn't care, but he pulled Castiel along to the long line that formed.

After about 10 minutes of waiting and paying for their food, they were headed to Castiel's friends. Dean wasn't shy and he could easily talk to everybody, but right now? He felt nervous. He wanted to impress Castiel's friends, he actually needed them to like him.

He has only known Castiel for a few days and he knew his dad won't approve of a relationship like this and it wasn't fair for Castiel, Dean was going to leave in a short time and break his heart.

However, Dean needed Castiel.

Dean was going to ask Castiel on a date. He searched the internet for date locations as Dean is more of a one night stand type of guy. Some girly site suggested a picnic, so Dean searched around and spotted the perfect picnic place. It was a large field with beautiful flowers and most importantly hidden by trees, blocking the rest of the world.

"Hi Dean!" Charlie waved excitedly once they arrived. She was already stealing a chair from another table for Dean to sit on. They had already reserved one for Castiel.

"Do you know her?" Castiel asked, confusion clear in his eyes.

"Yeah, she is the one who showed me around the school." Dean replied, smiling brightly. He already felt a bit more comfortable, at least knows someone.

"Hi, I'm Jo!" A quirky blonde said, waving a little before turning back to her phone.

"And this is Kevin." Charlie said, nudging an Asian kid with her elbow. He was engulfed in a book, only looking up to nod.

"He's not rude or shy, just off into his own little world." Charlie explained and motioned for Dean to sit down between her and Castiel.

"Do you like it here?" Charlies asked with her mouth full of pizza. Castiel crinkled his nose in distaste, but knew better than to say something.

"Yeah, I do actually." Dean beamed. He really liked it here, he made friends already and then there was Cas.

Dean dreaded the day they were leaving, he knew he couldn't stop it from happening. He wishes he could, however, with the life he lives? There is only surviving, doing the job. There's no time for luxuries or feelings.

Lunch was over quicker than Dean would've liked. Jo and Kevin seemed really cool and he enjoyed himself a lot. Dean would have never thought he was going to make friends at this school. When his father told him he had to go here, he hated it. After all, every school he has been to so far wasn't fun. He was always the loner, no friends to guide him. Yes, he made out with a lot of girls (and sometimes even guys) in the janitor closet, but that didn't mean they would stick around.

And now he met Castiel. He's not going to have secret make out sessions in closets anymore. All that mattered was the beautiful blue eyed boy walking next to him. Of course he saw the winks and stares of that girl Lisa. He knows he would've made out with her already if it wasn't for Cas. Now he doesn't even react, he just pretends he didn't see and looks the other way.

They stopped at Castiel's locker like usual and Dean thought this would be the perfect time to ask Castiel for their first date.

"Hey Cas?"

Well, it's now or never.

"Yes Dean?" Castiel didn't even turn around, not expecting what would come.

"Do you want to go out with me?" Dean asked, his cheeks heating up. "A-as in a d-date, I guess."

"What?!" Castiel exclaimed, hitting his head on the door of his locker as he was turning around to look at Dean.

His hand instantly grabbed his head as he lunged over in pain.

"Are you okay?" A worried Dean asked, stepping closer to get a better look at the damage.

"Y-yeah, fine." Castiel murmured, rubbing his head. They were silent for a while, just watching each other. Eyes roaming over their bodies and faces, eventually locking their gazes together.

"So, a date huh?" Castiel asked, breaking the intense staring. It wasn't because he felt awkward, truth is, he never really felt awkward with Dean. Sure, he was still a little shy, but never awkward.

He just felt at ease.

"Well, yeah. I mean, if you're up for it. You don't have to, you know? It's not like I can make you, but it would be very nice if you would go out with me. But don't feel pressured okay?" Dean babbled. It seemed like his waterfall of words kept flowing. Castiel chuckled behind his hand.

God he's cute.

"I really don't want to pressure you, I'm not that kind of guy-."

"I'll go with you."

"Wait, you will?"

"Yes Dean I will." Castiel smiled, rolling his eyes at the same time. It was like Dean couldn't believe Castiel would accept; like it was a dream come true.

Dean smiled so big Castiel was afraid his face might split in two.

"What about tonight at 7, maybe?" Dean asked hopefully, he already had plans so if he skipped his last period he would have plenty of time to make it happen.

"Sure." Castiel smiled softly, noticing the way Dean's eyes glistered at the news.

"Okay, I'll see you then!" Dean cheered and walked off to his own locker.

He was starting to get nervous already.
