Demon Lover.
Chapter Nine.
"So what's the deal boss? You pulling a mass damnation?" asked Azazel.
"Nah… I need your help with something else" said Dean.
"Bosses got himself a tasty meat bag" grinned Ruby.
Dean snarls at her and she cringes.
"Watch your mouth bitch" snapped Dean.
"Sorry boss…I mean a human lover" she added quickly.
A look of shock from all the other demons and Lilith asks "So what…guard dog duty or are we playing hide the human?".
"Both. I also need you lot to pretend to be my friends at our engagement party" he glared at them, daring them to crack wise at that.
"Your going to marry a human?" asked Azazel.
"Yeah got a problem with that Az?" replied Dean.
"Me…no but father will and you know it boss" said Azazel.
"I'll deal with him when the time comes. Til then you lot will help me keep Cas a secret and safe, got it" replied Dean.
Six demons nod and say "Yes boss" in unison.
"Good. So Cas will need to get to know you all before the party so we're having you all over for dinner tomorrow night right. Act as human as you can please, he's still getting used to the idea that I'm a demon" said Dean.
"He knows?" asked Lilith stunned "And he still wants to be with you?".
"Yeah he does…I had to put Sammy down in front of him so I had to tell him" replied Dean.
"So you finally offed Samael?" grinned Crowley.
"He found out about Cas…tried to…hurt him so I had no choice" replied Dean.
"Wasn't complaining boss, glad the little psycho's gone actually" grinned Crowley.
"Does Meg know you put her favourite partner in crime down?" asked Alistair.
"Fucked if I know, it was two days ago so maybe. Keep an eye on her and let me know what she's up too just in case" said Dean.
"Done" replied Ruby.
"Your very quiet over there Tommy boy? What's up?" asked Az.
"Meg knows Samael is missing" replied Tom.
"Fuck…how?" asked Dean.
"She was looking for him, wanted to play but couldn't find him so she came to me" said Tom with a shudder.
Dean understood the shudder too well, Tom had the same problem with his sister that he had had with Sam. It's part of why he actually does class Tom as his friend.
"Sorry man…we may have to put her down too" replied Dean.
"I will deal with my daughter" stated Azazel.
Dean nods "Thanks Az…I was going to ask you too anyway" said Dean.
"I don't know where I went wrong with her but I shall do what needs doing boss, don't worry" replied Azazel.
Some soul damning business was discussed then the demons went their separate ways. Dean asked Tom to hang back after the others had left.
"So your serious about this human?" asked Tom.
"Yeah I am…he's just so amazing Tom. I didn't know humans could be that way" grinned Dean.
"Most of them aren't but there are a few who outshine the others. They seem to be rare though" smiled Tom.
"Well I found one…come home with me I want you to meet Cas first yeah?" replied Dean.
"Sure boss, I'd like that" said Tom.
"Cas…baby, I'm home and I bought a friend with" called Dean as he and Tom appeared.
"Kitchen" called Cas.
They walk into the kitchen to find Cas making apple pie…Dean's favourite.
"Oh fuck that smells good" said the demon as he inhaled deeply.
Cas grins at the compliment.
"Baby this is my friend Tom…Tommy this is the love of my life Castiel" said Dean.
"Hi Tom, nice to meet you" smiled Cas as he extended his hand.
Tom looks at his boss to see if touching his human is ok, Dean nods and Tom steps forward to shake Cas's hand.
"Hello, very nice to meet you too" he said briefly shaking the offered hand.
"Tom's one of my team so to speak" said Dean as he wraps his arms around Cas from behind and kisses his ear.
"Oh I see. Are the others coming for dinner?" asked Cas as he playfully slapped Dean's hand as he tried to pilfer pie filling.
"Yeah they wouldn't miss it" grinned the demon as he tried his luck a second time and got another slap.
Tom laughed at the sight of his boss being scolded by a human it was just too damn funny not too.
Dean frowns at his friend "What?".
"Sorry boss…this is just so cute" he replied as he gestured to the couple.
"Fuck up…I like pie" pouted Dean.
Both Cas and Tom laugh at that.
Tom stays for awhile and Cas finds himself liking the demon.
He's glad Dean has at least one true friend and can tell that Tom is exactly that.
"So bring everyone over around six then" said Dean.
"Sure boss no worries. Should we come in human style or just pop in?" asked Tom.
"Just pop in, we'll be expecting you" replied Cas before Dean could even open his mouth.
Tom looks to his boss for confirmation.
"Cas speaks for us both, so listen to him as you would me from now on Tommy ok" said Dean.
"You got it boss. We'll pop in around six then" replied Tom.
"We'll see you then" smiled Cas.
Tom nods at his bosses human, gives Dean a grin and vanishes.
"Are all your team like Tom?" asked Cas.
"What…demons?" asked Dean.
Cas rolls his eyes and says "No…nice".
Dean laughs "Nah…Tom's the exception but they will all be on their best behaviour tomorrow night cause they know what I'd do to em if they weren't" grinned Dean.
"Oh and what would that be?" asked Cas.
"Skin em then dip em in salt" said Dean seriously.
"Dean !" exclaimed Cas.
"What…it'd hurt like hell but it won't kill em their demons" said Dean.
"I really have stop thinking of them as human don't I?" asked Cas.
"Yeah baby, you should. We may look like humans but we aren't. Demons are nasty, savage and evil" replied Dean.
"Your not" argued Cas.
"Cas…I'm exactly like that…just not with you. Baby, you have to know you bring out the best in me but when I work, I'm just like any other demon" said Dean.
Castiel took a moment to let this sink in, he knew what Dean said was true but had never seen that side of Dean. No, killing Sam didn't count as Dean was protecting Cas. 'He killed his own brother' thought Cas. Yet none of this changed how Cas felt about him, he accepted Dean for what and who he was, no matter what that meant. Damned to hell or not Castiel really didn't care as long as he was with Dean.
Meeting the team…
The table was set, delicious smells wafted out of the kitchen and Dean was nervous. He wanted his demons to make a good impression on Cas. More importantly he wanted Cas to feel comfortable with them, knowing he'd have to leave his human in their care at some point. He was glad Cas liked Tom at least, he trusted Tommy the most. Knew he could count on Tom to protect Cas no matter what.
6pm on the dot six demons appear in the living room.
"Hey boss" grins Crowley.
Dean nods "On time I see…good. Remember you scare my human tonight and I'll skin you. Oh and Ruby flirt once and I'll skin you slow".
Ruby looks at her feet and mumbles "Yes boss".
Dean turns and yells "Cas…my teams here".
Cas grins, wipes his hands and wanders out of the kitchen to greet Dean's demons.
"Hello everyone, so glad you could all make it" he said as he entered the living room.
Ruby, Crowley and Alistair all gasp audibly and get a warning look from their boss.
"Hi Castiel" says Tom.
"Hello Tom" replied Cas with a smile.
"Cas, this is the rest of my team. Azazel, Lilith, Crowley, Alistair and Ruby. This is Castiel" said Dean.
The demons all nodded at Cas and said hello politely.
"Do you need any help?" Tom asked Cas.
"Yeah, if you don't mind. That would be good" replied Cas before turning to Dean and saying "Twenty minutes tops and we'll be eating ok".
"Sure baby, no rush" replied Dean as he pulled Cas into his arms and kissed him.
When Dean lets go of him he heads back into the kitchen with Tom following.
"Holy fuck that's one beautiful human boss" said Crowley.
"MY beautiful human remember that all of you" growled Dean.
"Of course boss, of course. I was just saying" replied Crowley quickly.
Lilith laughs then and shakes her head saying "Ruby your so getting skinned…no way will you be able to stop yourself flirting with such a hot guy".
Ruby groans knowing she's right and looks to her boss with a plea in her eyes.
"Please put me at the other end of the table, boss. I really will try and behave but Lil's right…you know me" she said.
Dean nods and agrees with them "Yeah I know…just stay as far as way as you can and try to hold your tongue".
"You got it boss…thanks" replied Ruby gratefully.
"So, what can I do?" asked Tom as they entered the kitchen.
"If you don't mind chopping those carrots, that'd be great" replied Cas.
"Sure I can do that" grinned Tom as he picked up a knife and a carrot.
"So Tom…anyone special in your life?" asked Cas.
"Me…nah. Most of the demons I know aren't my type and I'm not lucky enough to have met a human I want" replied Tom.
Castiel grins and thinks 'Yet'.
"Well who knows…maybe you'll meet one at our wedding or the engagement party" said Cas with intent.
Tom gives him a look and asks "Trying to set me up huh?".
Cas grins "Lets just say I have friend I think you'd like".
"That would be nice…I'm kinda jealous of the boss and what he's found with you" replied Tom.
"Well I can't promise anything accept an introduction" said Cas.
"I know…I can't promise I'll like your friend" grinned Tom.
They are laughing together when Dean walks in. He frowns a little and says "What's so funny?".
Cas waves it off and replies "You had to be there".
"Pretend I was" growled Dean.
Cas turns to Dean, shock on his face.
Tom jumps in quickly with "Castiel has decided to play match maker boss, wants to set me up with a friend of his. We were laughing at a smart ass comment I made is all".
Dean looks at Tom intently, see's he's being honest and nods slowly. "Yeah ok".
Tom excuses himself and goes to check on the rest of the demons.
"What was that?" asked Cas.
"Jealousy" stated his demon.
"Of Tom?" asked Cas.
"No not exactly…I'm sorry baby, I just reacted" replied Dean.
"Do I have to make you read my tattoo again?" asked Cas with a grin.
Dean wraps Cas in his arms and says "Nah…I read it everyday I know what it says".
Cas blushes knowing Dean means he reads it while fucking him.
