It started with a kiss.
Twentieth, old haunting, fresh starts
Part one…
If there was one thing that Castiel hated the most, it was tests; he hated them with a fiery passion of a thousand suns. And judging from the many whimpering and groaning, his students didn't like them either. But it was time and he had to give them, so as he sat at his desk reading the paper he would occasionally look over at the clock, his classes were only fifty minutes at a time, and he would dismiss the ones that got done early.
He was still kind of pissed off that Dean had went to work that morning, thanks to his idiot brother and his inability to shoot straight had caused his husband to stay in bed over the weekend. Castiel in a fit of worry almost called Raphael to come look at his husband several times, he knew that the reason Dean wouldn't wake up was because the only time Dean was awake, Castiel would give him painkillers and that would knock out anyone.
They had argued the night before, about Dean wanting to head on back to work, and he didn't think that Dean was ready, but his husband had made a good point, saying that all he did was sit anyway, and it wasn't like he lifted anything more than a book. Of course Castiel had pointed out that some books were heavy, causing Dean to roll his eyes and tackle him to the bed.
Ah memories…
"Mister Novak? I don't understand this question." So deep in thought he didn't see one of his students come up to his desk, and he blinked as he looked up. Castiel explained how to do the problem, but didn't give the answer. The boy recognized the answer and smiled and rushed back to his desk.
Sometimes it paid to be a teacher, he gazed at the clock, twenty more minutes till his next class…
Dean rubbed his face as his stress induced headache got a little worse, Sammy was being more of a bitch than normal, Ash wasn't making any sense when he tried to explain something, and his wound ached like a tooth. If he had anymore stress he would will all his money to his husband and them happily fling himself out of his office window, but knowing his luck Sam would run down and catch him before he made it to sweet oblivion.
He didn't want to admit it, but maybe, just maybe Cas was right and it was too soon to return to work. Even with comfortable chairs his side still hurt and sitting in them made his back hurt. It just didn't want to end today. He so wanted to take a pain pill, but he didn't want to walk around scaring his employees with his drunken episodes.
He was about to call Cas and tell him that he was heading home when Ellen burst threw the doors looking like the hounds of hell were nipping at her feet, "We have a problem,"
"What is it; please if it's Ash then I don't want to know." Dean said looking up. Ellen looked to the door again and then shook her head.
"It's a whole lot bigger than Ash," Ellen said as she went behind him, Dean turned to look at her, but she just nodded to the door and as he turned back, his heart stopped.
"Hello darling." Flinging himself off the roof sounded a hell of a lot better than facing what had just came into his office.
"Great, now I'll have to disinfect everything," Dean groaned as his ex walked up to his desk.
Lisa Winchester, well former Winchester, them having been divorced for a solid year now, was standing at his desk with a fake smile on her face.
Dean thanked all the gods that were wondering around that he had finally gave into Sammy wants when his brother made Lisa sign a prenup. It saved him and she got nothing in the divorce except a small allowance. And when he said small he really meant it, after all she was the one to cheat on him.
"What are you doing here and what do you want?" Dean asked not looking at her, but at the file he had opened. Lisa looked at Ellen, but Ellen just smirked at her. One of Dean's rules was that someone had to be in the room when he was with Lisa, sometime when Ellen wasn't available, it was Jo, and Dean always loved that the younger woman wouldn't hesitate telling Lisa exactly what she thought of her.
"Well I came here to ask if you would like to go to lunch, but your watchdog might not be happy about that." Lisa said as she smirked when Ellen glared at her. Dean looked up and turned around when Ellen growled.
"Just tell me what you want so you can leave, and if it is money you want, sorry no can do." Dean said and did a small victory dance in his mind when Lisa's smile dimmed.
"Look I know that you hate me, but think of Ben, I need some help." Lisa said. Dean bristled when she mentioned her son, he calmed when Ellen placed her hand on his shoulder in support.
"Well since Ben's not my son, I don't see what this has to do with me?" Dean asked and then held up one hand as Lisa opened her mouth, "I don't want to hear it, unless the boy is sick and in the hospital." Lisa huffed as she sat down. Dean made a mental note to change the chairs in his office.
"Please, Jake ran off and I'm broke and Ben needs clothes." Lisa said as she looked down, Ellen's grip tightened when Dean felt his resolve crumble.
"Damn it, okay tell Ellen his sizes and I'll have her shop, because I know you, you will just go out with your friends and buy something and Ben would do with out." Dean said as he handed Lisa a slip of paper.
Lisa snatched the paper and ripped it up in front of him, and he smiled when he had called that one, Ellen smothered a laugh as Lisa stood and walked out. Dean let a breath go as Ellen walked to the door. "Thanks Ellen, you're going to get a raise for that."
"I better, god that woman just makes me want to bath in Clorox." Ellen said as she walked out. Dean leaned back in his chair, picking up the phone he called Cas.
Dean smiled when Castiel answered his phone, "hey babe, yeah, it is beginning to hurt, and yes I'm going to head on home, so see ya when you get there." Dean made kisses over the phone and chuckled as he hung up. Getting up he grabbed his coat and walked to his door.
Ellen looked up as Dean walked out and then nodded when he said he was leaving, "Oh hey tell Sammy I left, maybe the stick that crawled up his ass this morning will dislodge with the news." When Ellen laughed as she waved him goodbye, he entered the elevator, but then he stopped the door and peaked out again. "And have someone move all the furniture out of the office, I'll send Cas over to make arrangements for new ones." At Ellen's nod the doors closed and Dean went home.
Castiel finally stood from his chair and stretched the kinks from his back from sitting to long, he packed his things and locked up. He was heading over to Dean's office to see what kind of stuff he wanted to get for his husband's new office furniture. He asked what was wrong with the furniture he already had, and he didn't understand when his husband had mumbled something like a she-beast had sat down and soiled everything.
He greeted Ellen as he walked up to her; he turned when Sam walked out with a few movers carrying out his desk. "Hey Cas, Dean is probably going to be out for the rest of the week, so we're taking this time to paint his office, come with me to see the colors Dean had picked out, he said what ever you like was golden to him."
"Ah, very well," Castiel said as he followed Sam into the office. Most of Dean's stuff was in boxes that were covered with a plastic tarp. Some of the painters were already laying down tape and the entire floor rug was covered in plastic.
As they looked over the paint and then some brochures on furniture, Castiel jumped when the door was opened and Ellen came back in a panic. Castiel looked to both of them and they were both a little pail as they looked at the door.
"Where is he, I want to speak with him now." Castiel turned around when he heard that, and he saw a young woman standing there with a hateful look. Chilled from her ice look, Castiel walked over.
"Dean, is he the one you want to see?" he asked as Lisa looked over at him. "He went home for the day and won't be back until next Monday, I can give him a message as I am going home as well."
"And just who the hell are you." Lisa snarled at Castiel making him back up a little. Sam walked up, and tried to engage her in converstation, but she just shrugged him out of the way. "I asked you a question, who the hell are you."
"I am Castiel Novak, Dean's husband." he brought out his hand as if to shake, but lowered it when she started laughing.
"Good one, you guys almost had me." Lisa said as she continued to laugh, "Now come on tell me who you are really."
"I told you, I am Dean's husband, we were married a few weeks ago." Castiel said confused as Lisa stopped laughing and turned to Sam.
Sam flinched when Lisa looked at him, and he found great pleasure when he nodded. But then went pale again as Castiel asked who she was.
Lisa smile really big and answered. "Dean is my ex-husband."
Casteil felt his blood go cold…
Oh my, tsk, tsk, tsk…
