Thank you so much for the reviews! :D

hope you enjoy the chapter :P xx

I woke up the next morning bright and early. I was excited about church even though I had to wear a badly fitting suit, but that wasn't so bad I was eager about seeing the church and leaning a little about the vicar.

Me and my father ate breakfast and drove to church together in silence, but it was the comfortable kind of silence my father even looked happy well content I suppose, he loved church found it very peaceful.

My father pulled into the car park and straight away my eyes were drawn to the familiar shiny black car and a lump hitched in my throat, Dean.

This wasn't good I thought this wasn't good at all. My dad can't see that we knew each other because I just know I will give something away. Plus Annie, this she's there if she sees me as will probably shout for me and there's no way to really explain that in a way that my dad would approve of.

We entered the church and I recognised the back of Dean's head straight away. He was sighting next to his dad, his whole family was there.

Dean was at the end and I really wanted to sit next to sit.

"Isn't that your friend? Call him over." I heard a familiar voice, I knew it was Dean's dad, I tried to ignore it but I looked up. I caught Dean's eye and he smiled. Shit, it thought. And I hurried of to the front with my head low, fortunately Annie didn't see me.

As the service began I chanced a quick glance over my shoulder, he looked both confused and hurt and was staring at his hands, obviously not paying attention to the service. He looked up and our eyes collided, though this time there wasn't so much a smile from him but a small stir of anger. That made me feel like shit.

I didn't want to look away but I knew I had no choice so tore myself away from his hypnotic gaze and faced the front again.

For the rest of the service I think I felt eye balls boring into the back of my head, though that could have well been wishful thinking.

At the end of the service my dad informed me to wait by the car whilst he has a word and meet the vicar, I was so both excited and terrified at the prospect of having a few free minutes to speak with Dean, that's if he I even saw him, he didn't ignore me and he wanted to even speak to me.

Turns out I did see him and his whole family.

"Oh heya love." Nikki greeted me as she strapped Annie into her car seat.

"Hello Nikki." I greeted her at I saw that same kind, care free smile.

"Cassie!" Annie shouted and reached up to me, I crouched by the open car door and greeted the excitable child.

"Hi there you." I told her with a smile, Annie's was bigger though.

"Hi." She answer as she reached and gently slapped my face, although of course that wasn't the intention.

"Did you have fun in church today?"

"I like the songs." I was looking at Annie when I heard his voice behind me.

"Cas?" that single word gave my stomach a sickly feeling and my mouth went bone dry, I had no idea what he was going to say or how he was going to be.

"Yeah." I answer as I got up and face him, he was so close again, why was he doing this to me! Not that Dean knew how hot I flushed when he was near me.

"How was it. Your first service here? Different to L.A I bet." I was so glad he didn't call me out on sitting so far away from him.

"Yeah. It was good thank you, at least my father seemed to enjoy it, and he's introducing himself to the vicar now." I told him and checked to door to make sure he wasn't already done.

"Yeah? you mind if I meet him?" he asked innocently enough, but I blurted out my answer before he barley finished.

"No." wow that sounded rude I thought, I could barely tell him why my father wouldn't appreciate an introduction so I had to make something up, quickly. "I mean, we're in a hurry, running late things to do, you know." I spoke so fast I barely understood what I was saying, I felt so shitty for lying to him, there were many things I wanted to do to him but deceiving him wasn't one of them.

"Thought you just had church today, you going to see if you wanted to make a study day with Chuck, and Becki." Fuck I thought. Thanks karma. "No biggy, it's cool." Dean shrugged like it didn't really matter, and I suppose it didn't really I mean we were going to see each other tomorrow, but it did matter to me, I wanted to spend as much time as possible with him, if the stiff shrug and disappointed look was anything to go by, I think Dean was more effect by the news than he let on, I hoped so.

"Sorry." I told him, and I really was. At that moment Dean's father walked up to me, and Dean stepped behind him, what was going on thought. I got very nervous very quickly.

"Castiel." He greeted me in that same deep gruff voice as yesterday.

"Hello sir."

"I have been informed that my behaviour yesterday was rude, I didn't intend to be. Just hours on the road, not much sleep and I really wanted to see my wife and kids." Thank surprised me, I quickly glanced at Dean who was leaning against the car, with a small smile on his face as he watch the scene. Dean told his dad off for me I thought, wow I won't even let Dean meet mine. I tried to put the thought of meeting the parents out my mine and I took John's hand and shook it.

"I understand sir."

"Thank you. You're welcome around anytime. You're good for Dean." I couldn't help but smile at that, I looked to Dean quickly and received a wink, oh god I thought. "You've made one hell of an impression." John stood me with a lighter voice even a slight chuckle as he spoke. "Good influence you; you've given him that kick up the arse he needed to finish his art project. He's even making time to study." I could see through the corner of my eye that Dean was started to fidget, I think he was embarrassed he seemed cute when he was embarrassed.

"Dad." He hissed, making John to laugh. I looked over he was a little red and looked to the ground as soon as our eyes met, cute.

"Now apparently I'm being embarrassing as well."

"You wouldn't be a dad if you didn't embarrass your children once in a while." I told him, he seemed a lot me relax and friendly today, I guess long travel does make you cranky.

"Indeed. Any time Castiel, you're always welcome." He placed a hand on my shoulder and felt so happy. Dean's family is like perfect, they were so warm and inviting. Like I was a lost little puppy that they look in just before the snow started to fall.

"Thank you sir." That feeling abruptly stopped when what I feared would happen, did.

"Castiel!" my dad shouted, making me jump ten foot into the air and take a few steps away from Dean and his family, I could still see the surprised looks on all of their faces.

"Dad." I greeted him as he stood next to me.

"What are you doing?" he stage whispered at me. I was starting to get annoyed I was only talking, wasn't like I was fucking in the car park, well not this time.

"Just speaking to," I started to explain when he held up his hand and I stopped talking immediately. He then grabbed my arm and dragged me to the car, not before glaring at both Dean and his dad. God I wished a hole would open up and swallow me. It was so embarrassed.

"We're at church for heavens sake! Come on, get in the car." He told me as he took me back to the car. I knew he was loud enough for his words to be heard by Dean; that just made me feel even more embarrassed. As I opened the door I managed to quickly look to Dean. His whole family was looking at me, all of them looking shocked and worried. I looked to Dean he didn't look so much shocked as angry. He stepped forward but John put his arm out to stop him. I gave Dean a quick flash of a smile before getting in the car.

I made sure I stared at my hands when we pulled out the car park, didn't want dad to think I couldn't take my eyes of them or something and get him even more pissed.

The drive home was once again silent, only this time it was anything but comfortable, I even considered tucking and rolling out of the car. Not that there would be any point I live with him would have to face him sooner or later. Strange though he didn't say anything on the way back, not even when we got home. Wasn't until I mumbled good night and made my way to the stairs did he actually say something.

"What happened today, I don't know what was going on and I don't want to know. I just expected more from you. After everything I thought you knew what was expected of you." There was so much I could say, but I didn't. I knew it was be no good, just a waste of perfectly good oxygen, I've just before. So instead I just silently went to bed. I was really looking forward to school tomorrow and getting out of this house. Best of all, not only did I have math, biology and art but my last period was free, and all of these things I shared with Dean. I was going to be a good day tomorrow.

As I had expected, the day was truly an awesome one, in homeroom Bella wasn't there though I did like her, I wasn't too cut up about it. It gave me time to think of Dean. I gave up fighting the urge to think of him, I had to, I know I can't do anything doesn't mean I can't think of him.

Math consisted of what I have come to expect math to be, me and dean secretly throwing things at each other, dean also made it his mission to try and make me laugh, he succeeded and we got threaten with a seat change, I think Josh was turning out to be a bad influence on me. I liked it.

Art was amazing as usual; we also managed to have an actual convocation instead of assaulting each other with stationary. The convocation was going well until Dean brought up yesterday.

"So what's with your dad?" he asked as he sifted through the research he had printed out. I was still expanding on my ideas and made a point not to look at those god damn beautiful eyes because I would crack.

"He's erm, a little high strung."

"A little, dude you got your ass handed to you for talking to some one."

"I guess. He means well."

"How?"

"I think that convocation is best left for another time. After a craft of vodka."

"Sure thing dude." we sat in silence for a minute. "You looked good in that suit by the way, looked like a badass."

"I looked like a twat." i told him with a smile as i tried to to blushed, I looked up and locked into his gaze and with both smiled gently. "But thank you."

Biology, not my strongest or favourite lesson, but I did sit next to Dean and we were getting our project today, which gave me a perfect chance to work closely with him. I was aware that I sounded like a stalker, but I really didn't care at this point.

We got our assignment title, there were five different titles, four pairs did each question, ours was; 'the influence of biology in everyday life.' It was an essay, though we should include experiment right up to prove points etc, if we were aiming for a high grade. Now I couldn't speak for JDean but I just wanted to pass I didn't really care what I got, but we had to do it anyway might as well do it well.

We spent the lesson half writing a general plan for our essay and half talking shit to each other, it was fun.

Lunch was good, I found that I was a lot more relaxed around them. I usually blend into the background in group convocations but these people kept pulling me in and involving me, it was strange at first but its awesome really made me feel welcome. Half way through lunch I glance around the room and caught sight of something I had forgotten. Lucifer and his minions, they were back. The strangest thing happened though, they gave me deathly looks sure but never once came up to me, they even walked past near the end and just stared, I kept there eye and when they left before me, I felt victory even though I didn't win any thing. I guess they really were as weak as I thought, running of the fear or toughness and violence not the actual fact of it.

It was only me and Dean that's shared an hour of before school, which I was very thankful for. Yeah made our way to the field, generally chatted and listened to Dean's music on his phone as I had a ciggerette and he took the time to sketch me. It was very peaceful, very easy.

The end of the day came around all too quickly, I was heading for my locker and dean to the caring lot, so we walked together for as long as possible.

"What's your number?" Dean asked out of the blue.

"Huh?"

"So I can text you." He cleared up, I wish I had replaced my phone now because Dean wanted the number with the plan to text made just made me, happy.

"Oh, I don't have a mobile." Deans eyes widened at that, I guess it did seem strange.

"Come again."

"My dad…it got broken during the move, have yet to replace it."

"Well when you do, which better be soon, text me your number. Here's mine." He gave he a piece of paper with a number scribbled across, I smiled as I read the number and put it in my pocket.

"Thanks." I told him. We walked in slence for a little but, until it came to the point that we were going our separate ways, I didn't like it.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Dean told me as he started to turn towards the car park.

"Yeah. Bye." I told him, I hope I hid my disappointed at us parting but I cant be sure.

That night was basically the same as all the others. Expect me and dad actually had a convocation, it was a little awkward and general small talk. I thought about when I was in bed that night and I was surprised to find myself happy that we had spoken.

Guess that goes to show, no matter what he does or says, all I want is for my dad to love me.

Please review :D
