During the days that followed Castiel and Dean, occasionally accompanied by Anna, simply lounged about not with anything particular to do. After about a week it was back to school and Dean constantly moaned about it which Castiel only responded to with eye rolls.
On the Sunday night before school Cas rang Dean "hello Dean"
"Hey Cas you alright?"
"Yes um I was wondering whether you could pick me up before school tomorrow. Gabriel's gone back to college and I don't have a car."
"That's fine Cas I'll see you in the morning."
"Thank you Dean"
"Love you"
"I love you too, bye"
So the next morning Dean came and picked Castiel up, he hopped into the car and pressed a kiss to Dean's cheek, Sam who was sat in the backseat rolled his eyes and gave one of his signature bitch faces into the rearview mirror implying that they should stop making out in front of him. They drove in comfortable silence, exchanging glances now a again. Castiel kept his hand on Dean's knee squeezing occasionally until they pulled up outside the school when Dean muttered under his breath "ah crap"
"What's wrong?"
"Freaking Meg"
"Who?"
"Oh you're about to find out sweetheart"
They opened the doors and were greeted by a relatively short girl, dark brown hair wearing dark clothes and a maroon leather jacket. She sauntered over to the boys smiling wickedly. "Well hello there" she turned to a few others behind her winked. When she turned back to Dean she had a half grin across her face and she bowed, but her eyes never leaving Dean and a wicked grin never leaving her face "the overlord of the gays has returned."
Dean scoffed and smiled sarcastically "shut up Meg"
"Well who is this little cutie?" She turned to look at Castiel, a glint of mischief in her brown eyes. He stood nervously unsure of what was about to happen.
"I forgot, you haven't met properly yet. Meg this is Castiel, Cas this is Meg."
She grinned and put her hands on her hips "Well aren't you just a little unicorn."
Castiel was genuinely scared about what she was implying so simply swallowed and smiled half-heartedly "nice to meet you Meg."
Then Dean grabbed his hand and pulled him over to talk to Ash and Jo. Moments later Dean felt someone jump on his back and when he turned his head all he saw was a mass of fiery hair in his face. He laughed and Anna slid down and gave both him and Castiel and hug.
Cas was in the library when two girls walked in one was Meg and the other one he didn't recognise. Immediately they spotted him and ran over. He tried to avoid eye contact but they started talking to him "hey Clarence" Meg started "this is Ruby" he really wanted them to leave so he nodded politely and returned to reading his books.
Again Meg spoke "your last name is Novak right? As in Novak enterprises or whatever?"
This time he had no choice but to answer "yes, why?"
"Just my dad was talking about the lawsuit they won against Roman enterprises. He's one of the lawyers at the new office in the city."
"Oh yes, that is correct. I'm sorry if I sound rude but would you mind leaving me alone, I have work to do."
"Oh yeah sorry we actually came here to let you know Dean told us to tell you to meet him on the football field."
"Why couldn't he tell me himself?"
"He's a busy boy Clarence, coach won't let him out of his sight until training finishes."
Castiel gathered his things and thanked Meg before darting off to the football field to find Dean running around in a very tight t-shirt and a pair of gym shorts.
Almost immediately he ran over to Cas, who declined a hug because damn did Dean reek. "Sorry, I would've come myself but coach is being an asshole. I have to stay for practise tonight so I can't give you a ride home unless you wait for me to finish."
"Well I suppose I could sit here and watch you running around all hot and sweaty for a couple of hours."
"You'll get bored, I know you hate sports."
"I hate sports yes, but I said nothing about hating hot sweaty guys running around in tight pants." At this he grazed his finger down Dean's chest, feeling the firm muscles underneath the thin cotton. He looked up at Dean and winked. "I'll wait, it's fine it'll be fun and I can get some work done as well."
The coach called out to Dean to get his arse back to jogging around the field, he groaned and rolled his eyes not wanting to leave Castiel just yet.
"Okay, I'll see you later then. I won't see you at lunch so just come straight to the pitch when school finished. We'll all still be here" He kissed Cas gently but quickly on the lips and ran off to join his team mates.
Three thirty could not have come sooner for Castiel, in his last class for the day he kept glancing at the clock above the door. Anna nudged him when she saw he was heavily distracted. "Cas, you alright?"
He jumped a little bit before turning to see Anna's concerned face waiting for an answer "Oh, um, yes I'm fine."
"Why are you intent on staring at the clock?"
"I'm waiting for it to hurry up so I can go and watch Dean all sweaty, running around for two hours. Problem?"
"Ew, dude, he's like my brother. Please never say things like that in my presence." Castiel couldn't help the giggle that escaped him, he smothered his mouth his hand and looked at Anna who was also smiling. "Can I come? I want to watch hot guys, excluding Dean, run around."
"I don't see why not, plus then I won't be there by myself and you can drool over Balthazar."
"Shut up! Now do some damn work before I maim you!"
"You're not denying it though." Castiel mumbled into his hand as he turned away from Anna and catching the teacher giving the two a death glare. He looked at his desk and willed himself to concentrate although really his mind was elsewhere, and elsewhere meaning picturing Dean in front of him sweat lingering on his muscle defined torso, leaning in slowly, running his rough fingers through Castiel's messy hair and pressing his lips against Castiel's. Pulling him closely until their bodies were flush against one another...and then he was shaken by a giggling girl. Anna was trying, and failing, not to laugh at Cas as drool shone on his cheek. How long had he been asleep? He didn't have time to ask before he was being dragged out of the room and walking toward the football field. Anna had her arm linked with his and they strolled along the grass to the field taking their time and idly chatting and laughing, mostly about Dean.
"God no, the funniest thing I can think is last year we were at a pool party playing truth or dare right? Well it got to Dean and of course he chose dare. As you can imagine, being the overly confident douche that he is, he did it. No qualms." She was laughing already just thinking about it. They got up to the bleachers and sat down, Dean saw them and started jogging over. "Anyway, Ash dared him to do a back flip off the highest diving board...butt naked." Castiel cringed and Dean sauntered up to them wiping sweat from his forehead.
He shot a confused expression to Cas who was struggling not the laugh. "What's she laughing at?" Cas just shook his head but then Anna composed herself and carried on.
"So he walked up to the board climbed on and by this time everyone was already watching so what'd he do?"
"Oh my God Anna stop. Must you tell everyone this story?" She shot him a sly wink and carried on.
"He only went all stripper style and ripped off his swim shorts, effectively destroying them." By now Dean's face was covered by his hand and he was groaning into it. Red was visible on his neck which only made Anna laugh harder. "Literally everyone was cheering when he came to the edge. His dive was all swan lake, graceful and majestic...and then he hit the water. On his front. With his junk out." Castiel couldn't help himself as he held his stomach unable to control the fits of laughter that he erupted into.
"I had a giant red mark for a week after that."
"Aw Dean you poor thing." Anna said mockingly with a pout on her lips. "I hope your little soldier wasn't hurt in the process."
"Fuck off asshat, he works fine." Castiel was staring at the two of them, smirking and giggling. Dean leant over to him and whispered so that Anna couldn't hear. "But I guess you'll get to be the judge of that huh?" Castiel stood their dumbfounded, a blush creeping over his cheeks and Dean simply grinned wickedly. Anna had the look of disgust on her face.
"Please refrain from discussing your sexual antics when I am with you, thanks." Dean just winked at Cas and kissed him.
"I'll be done in a bit okay?" Castiel nodded and kissed him again, Dean spun round and pointed a finger at the grinning red-head. "No more embarrassing storie you hear me? Or I'll start talking about my sexual fantasies in front of you." She held her hands up in surrender and sat down.
Cas wrapped his arms around Dean's waist and placed his chin on his shoulder "You can tell me about those though." Dean leant back into the embrace, kissing the side of the other boy's head. "Deal, I gotta go."
"Have fun." They watched him run off and when Cas turned around to sit down he saw Anna looking at him in awe. "What?" He asked.
"You. And Dean."
"What about me and Dean?"
"You're freaking perfect for eachother. It's sickening and adorable all at once."
"Thank you." He turned to see Dean talking to Balthazar and from the corner of his eye saw Anna lean forward slightly, the corners of her mouth ebbing upwards. Then Dean pointed up at them and the blond boy's gaze followed suit. A smiled graced his lips as he waved at them. Anna waved back nervously, she was biting her lip twisting the end of her hair around her finger. Dean leant over and said something to Balthazar, to which he simply replied with a curt nod and an eager smile. then the two team mates turned away and Dean slapped the other boys back, turning round to send a wink and a thumbs up to Castiel.
