Thanks to Night Angel97, Snowin' You and Lee Marie Jack for reviewing. Love ya guys!
Castiel became a thorn on TMZ's side for three consecutive days. He threatened to sue them for fabricating lies if they did not publish the real pictures. They were finally able to reach the photographer for hire and paid him for the original pictures not the edited ones. After the paparazzo handed the disc with the pictures, the TMZ representative informed him they would never do business with him in the future.
Dean wasn't answering his husband's phone calls or e-mails. He felt like shit. Deep inside the Winchester knew Cas would never cheat on him. His insecurities continued to peek their ugly little heads every once in a while. Castiel's career was soaring while his was stagnant. The modeling gig paid well but Dean needed to expand his acting wings beyond the TV show. Would Cas be satisfied being married to a fucking jeans model once he became a bona fide movie actor?
Dean filled Icarus' bowl with dried veggies. The potbellied pig wagged his tiny corked tail waiting for his master to fill the bowl. Dean patted Icarus' head before vacating the kitchen. Icarus oinked his thanks before digging in. Dean walked barefoot to the small office he and Cas shared. He plopped himself on a black chair. Dean raised a knee on it and placed his chin over it. He turned on the laptop and searched for new e-mails.
The light of the screen made his eye color look apple green. Dean's eyes raked down the screen to find any new messages from Cas. He clicked the mouse. It was a brief e-mail from Castiel: "Go to "
Dean went to TMZ and was flabbergasted to find one of the articles in the home page to be an apology from the site. The true pictures appeared on screen. Castiel had told him the truth. Most of his and Holloway's cast mates shared dinner and drinks with the two actors. Yessika was glued to her fiancé's arm the entire night. Dean rubbed his eyes. He felt like a bigger fool. Castiel must have bugged the head honchos at TMZ to retract the original article and pictures. Dean swallowed hard.
He didn't have the balls to speak to his husband. So Dean opted for the cowardly route. He typed a short e-mail to Cas: "We'll talk in person at the con."
The first and hopefully annual "Salute to Eclipse" Rio Con took place in early June. The show's main cast arrived at Rio de Janeiro Galeao Int'l Airport on a Thursday afternoon. The first panels and photo ops were scheduled to take place at 11 am the following day. The con was set for only Friday and Saturday. Zachariah was kind enough to allow the cast to have a day off on Sunday.
Dean hadn't seen his friends/cast mates for a while except for Meg, who checked up on him on a weekly basis. The petite actress had to drag her friend out of the apartment to have lunch at a local Greek restaurant which was one of Dean and Cas' favorites. Meg became a mother hen to Dean ever since the fake pictures fiasco.
Luckily, Zachariah chose not to attend the con much to the cast's immense relief. Unfortunately, Lucifer did fly over to Rio in the company's private jet. Henry flew coach along with the rest of the actors in a commercial flight. Luc became Henry's sugar daddy but their relationship was kept under the radar.
Luc paid the rent for Henry's spacious and modern Rodeo Drive condo and bought him a black 2014 Camaro Z28. Henry handled buying his own clothes and miscellaneous items with his salary from the show. He'd also become the new face for Clear Water cologne. Overall, the young man was living the life with the aid of his sugar daddy, who made a few calls in order to secure him the Cool Water contract. That is why Henry didn't complain whenever Luc came up with a new role playing scenario with them.
Luc's favorite outfit for Henry to wear was of a boarding school student with black tie and matching shorts, burgundy blazer and cap with a school crest on it. The older man would take the role of a strictly disciplined school headmaster. Luc paddled Henry's round derriere with a three foot wood ruler. He would get extremely hard imagining Castiel lying over his lap receiving the paddles. Luc loathed himself for being so damn weak, when it came to the blue eyed actor. Castiel became Moby Dick to his very own Captain Ahab. Lucifer was obsessed with Castiel Novak. At first he didn't want to admit it but as time passed by, he could no longer deny it.
That is why he chose Henry to be his boy toy. The two actors shared the same coloring and were in the same age range. When Luc fucked Henry, he just needed to close his eyes and imagine he was inside Castiel making him scream dirty words. Lucifer bristled, as soon as his eyes landed on Dean Winchester, who was surrounded by the show's other actors at the Windsor Ganabara Hotel which was hosting the convention. Luc gritted his teeth. He really hated the Winchester for his good looks, winning personality and most of all for having won the heart of Castiel Novak.
Also, Luc would never forget when Dean protected Castiel from him during the auditioning process for the show. Thanks to that debacle, Zachariah mandated his only son to enter a rehabilitation program for homosexuals to be brainwashed into being straight. Lucifer loathed his three month stay at the ridiculous place. It was a waste of $30,000. He shrugged his shoulders. Well it was old Zachariah, who coughed up the money anyways. The old puritanical homophobe believed his son to be cured from his unnatural inclinations. Luc chuckled. Oh if he only knew what his little boy was up to.
Lucifer cut in front of all the actors, who were in line in front of the concierge desk. "Hey!" Gabriel bellowed.
Luc winked at him before giving the two women at the front desk a Colgate smile. In less than five minutes, Lucifer had the card for a luxury suite. He passed by the group of actors and bumped into Dean on purpose. Anna and Jo held the blond actor's arms. "Guy is a giant bag of dicks," Dean said.
Henry smirked. "What are you smiling at, douchebag?" Dean gave his ex the stink eye. Henry waved his hands in surrender and went to speak to the female concierge.
The actors with the exclusion of Henry ate dinner together at a seafood restaurant located two blocks from the four star hotel. Gabriel sat with his arms crossed frowning at Dean. "Dude, what is your fucking problem?"
"I am still pissed with you and Cas for not inviting me to your wedding." Gabriel pouted before gulping down a shot of tequila. He followed it with an orange slice. He poured himself another glass.
"Dude, how many times do we have to apologize? It was a spur of the moment thing. We haven't had the chance to get together with all of you to have a small gathering. You're our closest friends. We consider you guys' family." Dean stuffed a jumbo shrimp in his mouth. He was down in the dumps because Castiel's flight from London had been delayed. His husband finally finished working on the Nightwing movie but bad weather kept preventing him from reuniting with Dean.
"You have a funny way of showing that we are family to you." Gabriel drank his fourth tequila shot of the night.
"Maybe you should chill on the tequila, Gabe," Jo told her friend. "You, Dean and I have the first panel tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry, sis, I'm a hangover pro."
"I have an idea. Why don't we throw a belated bachelor party for the newlyweds on Saturday night?" Balthazar suggested.
"Hellz yeah, Balthy!" Gabe patted his friend hard on the back; causing the Brit to spit out a stuffed olive. Jo handed her man a glass of water. "I'm going to search online for the best club in town." Gabriel was no longer moping.
The following morning, Dean's alarm went off at eight. He felt the empty space next to him in the king size bed and frowned. Castiel still hadn't arrived. He may not make it to the shared panel the two of them had at two in the afternoon and for the photo ops. The two actors had their own photo ops session but due to public demand, a joint photo op with the two of them had been made available. Those three photo ops were the only ones to sell out.
Dean put on an old pair of sweat pants which hung low on his hips, a faded grey Led Zeppelin shirt and Nike running shoes. The actor headed to the hotel's gym. He jogged on a treadmill for 45 minutes while seeing the pilot of Eclipse on a 12" flat screen TV placed over his machine. Dean felt awkward staring at himself while he exercised. A middle aged woman wearing a white turban gawked at him after taking her eyes away from the screen. Dean smiled and nodded at her. The woman blushed.
After his workout, Dean headed over to the hotel restaurant to have a light breakfast of yogurt, fruit salad and tea. His stomach was a giant knot of nerves. Dean was still shy, when talking in front of large crowds. At least two hundred fans would be in each panel. His palms sweated with him just thinking about that. Now it looked like he was stuck doing two panels and the last one of the day, he would ride solo since Cas still hadn't arrived.
Dean took a quick shower and picked the clothes he would wear for the day: a beige long sleeved cotton sweater with a white undershirt, jeans and combat boots. He put some gel in his hair to finish the look he was going for. Jo and Gabriel knocked on his room's door. "Hurry up, Dean-o! The panel starts in five minutes!" the trickster screamed from the hallway.
The gentleman from Creation Entertainment, who served as the panels' host introduced the three human siblings from Eclipse. The crowd went wild. Camera flashes flickered throughout the large room. The actors closed their eyes for a moment. A woman's voice was heard through the speakers stating no one was allowed to take videos. She repeated the statement in Portuguese and Spanish afterwards.
Gabriel hopped on Dean's back and the taller actor gave him a piggyback ride to the stage. The fans went wilder. Jo play acted with Gabe trying to yank him away from Dean, who just rolled his eyes.
Gabriel, who was the cast's social butterfly greeted the enthusiastic fans and introduced his co-stars to the crowd made up mostly of females. He cracked a few jokes before the fans lined up in two lines to ask questions.
A tall gawky Goth chick was the first to approach the mike stand. "Hi, I'm Zandra." She nervously placed a lock of straight black hair behind her pierced ear.
"Hi, Zandra," the three actors said simultaneously.
Her voice shook. "This question is for Jo. Your character rocks."
"Thanks, Zandra"
"When are Tyler and your character going to make love for the first time?" The girl flushed red.
Jo furrowed her brows. "Part of the season finale was the couple's first kiss and declaring their love but with the impending war I don't think they will have time for anything romantic." There were a few boos from the crowd.
"How about you campaign for the sexy older brother to get some action in season two?" Gabriel wiggled his brows.
The forty five minute panel went at a snail's pace. The actors were bored out of their skulls with the lame questions they were getting: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? What's your favorite movie? Who's your favorite movie character of all time? Dean's legs started to cramp. He got up and hopped from the stage. The fans cheered and stomped their feet. The handsome actor walked along the center aisle. Convention security walked close to the actor.
Dean spotted Becky, the president of the first official Eclipse fan club. "Hey, Becky!"
The bubbly blonde stood up. She smiled madly. Dean introduced the girl, who'd flown to Brazil all the way from LA. "How did you like the first season?" Dean asked her. He was glad to have the attention taken from him and land on the perky kid.
Becky bounced back and forth. "I liked it but would really love the show if Tyler and Jesse hooked up. That's the show's real love story!"
90% of the assembled fans went nuts. Dean and Cas were lucky that their impromptu nuptials didn't cause backlash for the show. On the contrary, ratings went up for the last two episodes of the season.
"That's not for me to decide. The show's runner is the person, who makes important storyline decisions." Dean rolled his eyes. Zachariah would die before making two of the main characters on the show gay. Word out on the street was that he was to name Luc the show's new show runner for season two.
The fans remained silent and stared at Dean. Gabriel was about to do a cartwheel or something to get their attention. Suddenly, a head popped out of the stage curtains and the fans stomped their feet and screamed their lungs out. Castiel parted the red curtains and walked through. Dean was with his back to the stage. Castiel gave the fans a sign to be quiet. He made his way down the stage. Dean turned around to look at the large screen but he only saw Gabe and Jo whispering to each other. He turned back to face the fans.
A pair of hands covered his eyes. Dean inhaled Castiel's lemon verdana scent and smiled. He swiftly turned around and cupped his husband's cheeks. Dean planted a big kiss on Cas' lips. Applause and hollers filled the room. Castiel held Dean's hips as the kiss intensified. "I'm so sorry, baby," Dean mouthed into his husband's neck.
"I know."
A staff member of the con informed the actors the panel needed to be wrapped up. "We'll see you at two," Castiel said into Dean's microphone.
Jo waved bye to the fans and Gabriel left the stage doing cartwheels. Dean and Castiel rushed to their hotel room. The couple had their joint photo op session at 1 pm before the panel. Cas placed his carry-on next to the bed. He sat on the edge and started to undress. He was in desperate need of a shower.
Dean knelt in front of him. "I'm so sorry, Cas for doubting you. My insecurities got the best of me."
Castiel traced Dean's lower lip. "Babe, how many times do I have to tell you that you have ruined me for anyone else? You're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I didn't marry you just to stick it to Zachariah. I meant it when I told you I love you and need you in my life."
Dean closed his eyes. He swallowed hard. "I know it's just that you're on your way to becoming a hot shot movie actor and I'm stuck modeling jeans for fuck's sake!" Dean stood up and hopped to sit on a table.
"Your time will soon come, Dean. I know it." Castiel walked over to stand in front of his husband. "I came to a decision. Next year during hiatus I will take the entire summer off. You will get work and I will accompany you to wherever you go. We can alternate every year until the show is done. I don't want to be separated from you anymore."
Dean's green eyes lit up. "You mean it?"
"Yes, I want to show you that our marriage means more to me than my career."
Dean laced his fingers through the hoops of Cas' jeans and brought his husband closer to him. They kissed hungrily for a while. Dean wrapped his legs around Castiel's trim hips. The blue eyed actor led them to the bathroom. The two men undressed in a flash. Dean was so desperate to have Castiel inside of him; he prepped himself with shower gel.
Castiel licked water drops from Dean's muscular torso. He took Dean against the slick tiled wall. Dean mewled under his husband's ministrations. The taller man rubbed his swollen dick against his and Castiel's toned abdomen. "I missed being inside you. I forgot how hot you are and how your pretty little hole clenches desperately to me." Castiel mouthed into the juncture of Dean's shoulder and neck. "Yes, that's it baby milk me as much as you can." His voice was hoarse.
Dean's hands cupped Castiel's hard ass to push him deeper inside. "Cas, I love you so damn much." He felt Cas' body shiver right before he came inside Dean. The Winchester soon followed. His body was about to give out under the warm water from the showerhead. Castiel's arms held Dean's waist. They kissed voraciously, as their slick chests rubbed against each other. Cas' body covered Dean's. He maneuvered the two of them and now they leaned against the glass shower door. Cas was sucking hard on Dean's clavicle. Dean arched his neck backwards to grant his husband better access. All of a sudden, the glass door caved and fell on the floor bringing the two actors down with it.
The door cracked in half. Castiel panicked. "Dean, are you ok? Were you cut?"
Dean was silent and then all of a sudden started laughing. He sat up. Cas made sure there weren't any cuts on Dean's back. "Dude, we broke the stall's door."
Castiel grinned. "We'll pay for a new one. It was so worth it."
Dean shaved Castiel with an electric razor after they dried each other. He would kiss every smooth patch of skin that was revealed. "Dean, we're going to be late for the photo ops. I still need to give you a present I got for you."
"There now you are as smooth as a baby's bottom." Dean kissed the small cleft on Cas' chin before patting the skin dry with a small towel.
Castiel held Dean's wrist and led him to the bedroom. He ruffled through his carry-on until he found what he was searching for. "I thought of you as soon as I saw it." He handed a rectangle jewelry box to his husband.
Dean opened it and retrieved a silver antique pocket watch. "Wow it's beautiful, babe." He read the inscription on the back: "To my sun, I will eternally love you, COM."
Castiel told Dean the story of the duke and viscount, who kept their love a secret in the early 1900's. Dean kissed him passionately. "Thanks, I love it! Hold on I got you something, too."
Dean handed Cas a small blue velvet box. Castiel opened it. "Dean, you got us real wedding bands." His beautiful electric blue eyes became watery. He removed one of the identical platinum bands. One had an emerald stone in the center. Castiel read the inside. It had Dean's initials. "That one is yours, babe." Dean slid it in Cas' left ring finger.
Castiel did the same with the band that had an azure stone in the middle. This one had his initials engraved on it. He finished placing it on his husband's finger. He kissed the tip of Dean's freckled nose. He traced his chin gently with one of his thumbs. "They're perfect just like you."
Their foreheads touched as the two of them stared into each other's eyes. "I promise not to doubt you ever again, Cas."
"I know you will, sweetheart. Let's go downstairs for the photo ops. A staff person is most likely on their way to escort us." Castiel playfully slapped Dean's ass.
Dean winked at him on his way out. Both actors enjoyed themselves during the photo ops. They were on cloud nine. From now on nothing or no one would get in their way. They clowned around with fans and touched each other discreetly any chance they got.
The panel went pretty good. Castiel was a pro and had the fans eating out of his hands. He got some questions about the movie. Cas wasn't able to answer all questions. He told the fans to wait for the final product and that they wouldn't be disappointed. Finally, Becky was the last person to ask a question.
"Hi guys! Congrats on the nuptials and I want to say once again Jesse and Tyler need to get together." Many fans screamed in agreement.
Lucifer appeared out of thin air and grabbed the microphone from Becky. She stuck her tongue out at him. His eyes raked the audience until they landed on the actors, Castiel in particular. "Allow me to introduce myself; I am Lucifer Milton, the show's new show runner. There will be no Tyler or Jesse romance on the show. They are best friends and that is all. Their friendship will be tested during the upcoming war. The characters will not share scenes for the first three episodes of season two."
Becky started booing and in no time many of the assembled fans booed at the new show runner. Lucifer smirked. "Let's not forget who the show's main couple is and will always be. Give their relationship time to flourish. Anyways there really isn't room for a lot of romance during an alien Armageddon."
The crowd calmed down. "The first four episodes have been written and let me tell you they are better than anything from season one. You're all in for a hell of a ride." He handed the microphone back to Becky.
The panel came to an end. Dean and Castiel thanked the crowd and waved bye at them. Once they were behind the curtains, the two actors spoke. "Did you see how many people want our characters to get together?"
"Yeah, but we know old Zachy boy will never allow it to happen," Castiel stated.
"You never know. Once the viewers get their hearts set on something and start petitioning left and right; they may get their way."
"You might be on to something. Remember how low the ratings were for the episode sans Jesse and Tyler," Castiel told his hubby.
"Time will tell, babe." Dean kissed the top of Cas' head as they made their way to the final photo op of the day.
Saturday afternoon was the final panel in which all the cast members assembled on stage. They tossed stuffed animals to the crowd. All of the actors were tired due to all the autograph signings, photo ops, meet and greets and panels they took part of. Gabriel was ecstatic over the night of debauchery he had planned for all of his friends.
Everyone took afternoon naps and woke up at seven to get ready for a night of heavy partying. Thank God Zachariah wasn't around to play warden. Lucifer disappeared and Henry said he had a migraine. No one would miss them, especially Dean and Castiel.
The actors took two taxis to Club 69. The place was one of the city's largest and raunchiest establishments. Drag queens greeted them and one, who resembled Tina Turner, led them to the VIP section. Gabriel ordered champagne for everyone. Gorgeous Vegas style showgirls danced in extravagant glittery costumes on the stage. Gabriel and Balthazar whistled at them.
A drag queen congratulated the newlyweds and poured champagne for everyone. Gabriel made a toast before everyone gulped down the sparkly drink. "Dude, why are you dressed like Sonny Crockett?" Dean asked Gabriel. Castiel sat on his husband's lap.
"Bite me, Dean!" the trickster said.
"You shouldn't be wearing all that jewelry. Crime rate in Brazil has sky rocketed recently due to the tourists flocking here for the World Cup," Cas told his friend.
"Shut it, ET! Y'all are a bunch of Debby Downers. Geesh, let's have some fun and pull out the sticks shoved up your asses!" Gabriel got up and started dancing with one of the showgirls.
Anna and Meg went to join him. Balthazar and Jo turned to their friends. Balthy cleared his throat. "We want to thank the two of you."
"For what?" Dean asked.
"After you guys put your own terms in the new contracts, Jo and I did the same. We've been dating for almost as long as you two and didn't want to keep it private any longer."
"That's great! I'm happy for you guys." Castiel hugged and kissed Jo and did the same with Balthazar.
"Me, too you guys." Dean smiled at the happy couple.
"Best thing out of all of this is that Zachariah was livid. He is not so much in control of things as he thought he was," Jo said.
"Amen, sister"
Anna and Meg returned with a bottle of tequila. "Let the party begin!"
Gabriel remained in the middle of the sweaty crowd, grinding against a tall statuesque dancer. The actor waved his arms in the air. Four young men eyed the flamboyant American with greedy eyes. "Check out the Rolex," one of them elbowed the tallest and thinnest one from the gang.
"Isn't that Dave Collier from Full House? You know Uncle Joey?" the youngest one asked.
Gabriel downed a bottle of cold water at the bar. He resumed dancing for half an hour. He got the need to empty the dragon. So the actor headed to the unisex bathroom. There was a line of about a dozen people. He rolled his golden eyes and headed to the back alley. Gabe made sure the coast was clear. He faced the concrete wall and unzipped his slacks. Gabe held to his dick and started peeing.
The actor heard approaching footsteps. All of a sudden, something smelly was placed over his head. Gabriel pissed over someone, who cursed out loud. He was tossed unceremoniously inside an old van. "Help! Somebody help me!" Gabriel yelled before the van's door was shut closed.
"Can someone at least have the decency to put my dick back inside my pants?" Gabe felt rope being tied around his wrists.
"Shut up, Uncle Joey you talk too much!"
There will be three -four chapters to go. Thanks for reading and I wish all of you a Happy New Year!
