A/N 1: Woot! It's chapter 10 alreadyyyyyy! xD Surprises are in store! ;D I was literally squirming in my seat(s) during school because I was so excited about writing this chapter. I really hope you guys like it! :D OH! And... GO VOTE FOR THE TYPE OF STORY YOU WANT ME TO WRITE NEXT BECAUSE AFTER THE 11th CHAPTER, I AM WRITING ONE OF THE STORIES! Sorry for the caps! I also have an estimate on how many chapters this will have. :o If I am correct, there will be about 14-17 chapters. I am not sure though!
WARNING!: Mentions of abuse and rape. They are not graphic so don't worry.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
Castiel was sitting on the bench in the men's changing room, already wearing his black swimming trunks, when Dean walked out of the stall he was in, wearing dark green swimming trunks.
Castiel had gasped when he saw Dean's tanned muscled chest. The skin was flawless, save for a few freckles, but Castiel thought they were beautiful, too. Dean also had a six-pack that Castiel wanted to run his fingers over. He had then blushed and looked away when he caught sight of Dean's nipples.
Oh, my God. He's gonna be the death of me.
"I'm all done!" Adam said, walking out of the stall. Adam was, of course, wearing his Hulk swimming trunks. "I changed all by myself!" he said proudly.
Dean chuckled as he picked up the three-year-old. "I can see that. At least you didn't put them on backwards like you did the last time."
Adam pouted. "I didn't mean to!"
Dean chuckled again and kissed the child's temple. "I know you didn't," he said softly, then he looked toward Castiel, who noticed a certain glint in those green-hazel eyes that was gone the second he saw it. "Do you want to wait for the rest of them or do you want to go out there now?"
Castiel thought about it before saying, "I'll wait for them. You and Adam can go ahead of us."
Dean nodded and walked out of the men's changing room with Adam in his arms and once Dean was out the door, Castiel let out a sigh of relief. He didn't know how much longer he could stand to be around Dean. Just seeing the man with nothing but a pair of swimming trunks on made him feel hot and dizzy.
Five minutes later, they all walked out of the changing room, and started searching for Dean and Adam. Several moments later, they found the two of them in the Lazy River. Adam was in a swimming tube and Dean was pulling it, going along with the flow of the river.
"Oh, love, can we please go on the slides? Please?!" Balthazar asked impatiently.
Crowley sighed and nodded. "Fine."
Balthazar jumped up and down while he clapped his hands and kissed his lover's cheek and grabbed onto Crowley's hand and dragged him to wherever.
"Gabe! Look! Water basketball! Come on!" Sam exclaimed as he took Gabriel's hand and pulled him toward the little basketball court that was in the water.
Castiel sighed and smiled when Dean waved at him. He waved back and got into the water, maneuvering his way through and made his way to where Adam and Dean were and grabbed onto the thin rope that was tied around the tube. The added weight onto the tube made Adam turn around and once he saw it was Castiel, a wide grin grew on his face.
"Cas!" he shouted happily.
"Hey, Cas," Dean said. "Finally in the water.."
Castiel laughed softly. "I've actually never been swimming before."
Dean gaped at the blue eyed male. "You're kidding right?" he asked, and when he received a shake of Castiel's head, his eyes widened. "Wow, just wow... I have nothing to say about that."
"Just for this, Balth, Crowley, and I had to go shopping just to buy these swimming trunks," Castiel added.
"Huh," Dean mumbled. "Well, here you are now, in the water, swimming for the first time... What do you think of it?"
Castiel shrugged. "It's nice, I guess."
"You guess?!" Dean asked incredulously and then looked at his three-year-old brother. "Should I dunk him, Adam?"
"Yes!" Adam shouted with a grin on his face.
"Wha-?" before he could even ask anything, he felt a hand on his head and he suddenly had a mouth full of water. Once the hand was off his head, he resurfaced and spluttered and coughed until his mouth and throat were clear of water and he was able to regain his composure to glare at Dean who was grinning sheepishly at him. "What the hell is your problem?!" he snapped.
"Hey! Watch the language!" Dean scolded him.
"You didn't have to do that!" he shouted.
"Oh, come on. Lighten up! No harm done, Cas!"
Castiel felt the tears pooling in his eyes, anger and sadness washing over him unexpectedly. "You know that I've never done this kind of thing before and you did it anyway!"
Dean's face fell, softening to worry and concern. Cas was right, he knew and yet he did it anyway. "I'm sorry, Cas," he said, reaching a comforting hand out toward him, but it was smacked away. Dean almost gasped. He honestly didn't expect that...
They were quiet until the river carried them all the way to the steps, and Castiel got out and made his way to the men's changing room.
"Cas! Cas, wait!" Dean shouted, but the blue eyed male didn't stop. He growled before he pulled Adam out of the tube and followed Castiel. "Come on, Cas! I said I was sorry," he said once the three of them were in the changing room. He watched Castiel pull out a towel and wrap it around his shoulders before he walked out of the room, leaving Dean and Adam behind.
"Is Cas mad at us?" Adam asked sadly.
Dean didn't know the answer to that, so he just shrugged and said, "I don't know, buddy. I don't know."
For the two hours that they were there, Castiel didn't do anything except sit in a chair and watch the people around him. He felt so embarrassed about the way he acted, but he couldn't believe Dean would do such a thing when he knew completely well that he had never done something like this.
When they were all getting dressed, Castiel dreaded about going to Dean's house, so after they were all done, he had asked Gabriel to just take him home because he wasn't feeling well. Gabriel had nodded and Castiel sighed with relief and his heart wrenched painfully when he saw the look of pain and regret on Dean's face.
Once Castiel was home, he plopped himself on the couch and he laid down, his head resting on the arm of the couch, and turned on the TV. He didn't remember falling alseep, but he did wake up to someone shaking him and running their fingers through his hair.
"Cas.. wake up..." a familiar, hushed voice said. He instantly recognized it as Dean's.
"How'd you get in? I locked the door," he mumbled, burying his face into the arm of the couch and yawned.
"Gabe gave me his key," Dean explained softly. "Come on, up you get," he urged him softly.
Castiel groaned as he sat up and looked into Dean's green-hazel eyes. "I still don't understand why you did what you did..."
Dean averted his gaze as he bit his bottom lip. "I don't either.. I just- I'm not very mature and sometimes I don't think straight."
"You got that right.."
"Hey!" he exclaimed, gaping at the male in front of him. "I said I was sorry, okay?! I know a "sorry" won't cut it, but how else am I going to get you to forgive me?"
Castiel just stared into Dean's eyes as he bit his bottom lip. Then, several moments later, he suddenly stood up and put his hands on each side of Dean's face and kissed his lips softly.
Dean's breath was taken away and he just stared wide eyed at the blue eyed male. His mind became a jumbled mess of feelings and thoughts, so he kissed Castiel again, adding more pressure to it. Castiel responded by wrapping his arms around his neck and returned the kiss. Sparks flew and time seemed to stand still.
When they broke apart, they put their foreheads together and stared into each others eyes as they panted.
"I have feelings for you, Dean," Castiel admitted softly.
Dean was shocked. He has feelings for me? Oh, God. But.. do I? He thought about it and then his mind wandered back to the kiss, and it was settled.
"I, also, have feelings for you, Cas."
Dean and Castiel didn't feel like going anywhere, so after Dean called Gabriel and told him to just continue on with the cookout, him and Castiel curled up on the couch and watched TV.
After that kiss, Castiel had the urge to tell Dean his history, but he was so scared of what he might think of him, that he just pushed it to the back of his mind. But, after an hour, the urge came back, and he just couldn't stop the words that came out of his mouth.
"Dean, I have a... very surprising history that I feel you should know.."
Dean stopped running his fingers through Castiel's unruly black hair and looked at him worriedly. "Okay.. I'm listening.."
Castiel let out a breath... and started,
"I was born on April 13th, 1995. I'm not going to tell my parents' name because they are not important to me anymore..." Castiel sighed before he continued. "I was betrothed the second I was born, to a boy who was 10 years older than me."
"Wha-?" Dean started to ask, but Castiel stopped him.
"Let me finish. Now, his name is Lucifer. He was born into an extremely wealthy family and will always be wealthy. But, what I don't understand is the fact that I'm a male and I can't carry babies, and I'm betrothed to another male. I have different conclusions, but one that I believe is most likely is that Lucifer didn't want to marry a woman. He wanted to marry a man," he cleared his throat and smiled softly when Dean took his hand in his own and squeezed it gently. "He was very gentle towards me. He taught and showed me many things. But, once I started puberty around the age of 13, things turned for the worst."
When Dean felt Castiel start shaking, he pulled him into his arms and whispered, "You don't need to continue."
Castiel shook his head. "I have to. I can't hold back any secrets of mine if we're going to be lovers."
Lovers? Dean thought in his. He shook those thoughts away and paid attention to Castiel.
"Of course, him being 10 years older than me, it was illegal for him to be sexual towards me, but he was. He honestly didn't care if he got sent to jail. He'd be able to bribe his way out. I remember when he first kissed me; I was all giddy inside. But, the second time, he tried to use his tongue, which I didn't like, and I slapped him. Things escalated quickly after that. I tried telling my parents, but they didn't care. Gabe ran away when I was 10 because he couldn't handle the fact that my parents practically handed me over to some guy who was 10 years older than me," he stopped for a moment to just calm down a bit and then continued, "Gabe tried his hardest to keep me away from him though, but it was no use."
"What happened next?" Dean urged softly when he noticed Castiel had drifted off to space.
Castiel jerked a bit at the sudden question and sighed. "When I was 15, he forcefully took my virginity, claiming that if he took it, I'll always be his. After that, whenever I didn't comply with his sexual urges, he'd beat me. He even took a knife to me."
Dean gasped. "What?!"
Castiel sighed as he got up and took his shirt off slowly. "He stabbed me here, here, and here," he said pointing to where the scars were.
Dean stood up and gently ran his fingers over the scars making Castiel shiver. He studied the scars for a moment before he asked vehemently, "Where is this bastard now?"
"Searching for me.." he whispered.
Dean embraced the younger man and whispered, "I'm not letting that asshole get ahold of you again."
Castiel just cried into Dean's shoulder, relief suddenly washing over him. God, did he hope so.
