Disclaimer: Naruto and Supernatural are not mine we all know this.
Inner Evil: Hello guys I am back and very sorry this is taking so long unfortunately I'm a masochist and am writing multiple stories at the same time while also working on my novel. I at least wanted to finish this before posting but that plan flew out the window with my writing schedule but I have enough chapters that I can post more often. I am definitely not abandoning this story –might make it short than plan- so hang in there. Thanks to AlecLightwoodMagnusBane, becks121, maelstrom ninetails, and last but not least Jpane79.
:-raynaldy- I am so happy for your excitement and hopefully you enjoy this chapter as well. I like the idea of Naruto succeeding and most of all being spoil so that is definitely happening. Keep the comments coming I love hearing for you especially because you inspire this story after all. Unfortunately no Harry this time.
Life is not fair but Karma is
The next morning was not as sunny as the previous day it was dark and dreary, the rain hitting the window of Dean's high-rise. Bee for once was not by the window instead she was hiding upstairs in the nook. Inside the master bedroom the image was different because this time Dean wasn't alone his mate Castiel was spooning him. The two were curled up together in bed completely naked enjoying each other's warmth.
Castiel woke up his face buried into blond hair and a warm body in front of him. The sun was barely out and there was still 2 hours before he had to be at work but this was normal for him. He always woke up early to go for a run so he slowly got up trying not to wake Dean up. He walked to the closet changing into sweat pants and a hoodie for the rain. It might seem weird but he loved running in the rain he felt like the water purified and calmed him.
New York was at its quietest and most beautiful as the sun rose New Yorkers were just waking up so the city wasn't up to its full capacity of noise. He picked up Hunter who was sleeping at Claire's feet "hey boy, let's go for a walk." The Pitbull immediately began wagging his butt at the risk of waking up the girl in bed "Shhh careful boy, let's not wake Claire, come on." The dog ran over to Castiel and the two headed out after grabbing poop bags and leash plus a raincoat for Hunter. The city was beautiful even in the rain and even with the rain New Yorkers were going about their day walking dogs, beginning their day. Hunter wasn't as enchanted by the city but he did seem enchanted by all the scents that and marking his territory everywhere.
The two ran from the apartment in Dumbo a few blocks to Brooklyn heights were his townhouse was. He decided to stop by his townhouse get out for the rain and give Hunter a break plus some water to hydrate. On the outside the townhouse looked like all the other houses in the neighborhood inside it was a traditional townhouse with lots of dark wood trimming and accents. It was completely Castiel's style the older and traditional Victorian while Dean preferred the industrial style of his apartment.
Castiel took the time to check mail and his plants although Claire lives there so the house wasn't empty but when one of them were traveling she stays in the apartment to help with Hunter and keep the other company. The rain wasn't slowing down in fact it got hard "you ready to go back out there?" Hunter looked up to him smiling, tongue hanging out –the dog loved water- "rwoofff, rwoofff" he placed the raincoat of the dog and changed his hoodie even though it would get wet again, before heading out.
By the time they reached the apartment building they were both soaking wet, they both tried rinsed some water Hunter by shaking and Cas by squeezing his clothes so that they wouldn't drip on the floors as it would be inconsiderate to their doorman. It didn't work so great as their feet's left marks as they walked, Castiel looked apologetic "It's okay sir, at least you tried." The 'not everyone does' was left unsaid but still very clear. He rushed to the elevator to avoid any more mess then rushed to their door where Claire was waiting with two towels "Only you will think to run in the rain uncle Cas." She passed him a towel giving him an amuse eye roll before taking the other and drying an excited Hunter. "How did you…?" "Ralph called from downstairs apparently you left quite a mess." Castiel felt bad for leaving a mess behind
"He wasn't mad something about you being one of the considerate ones."
"Where's Dean?"
"That log is still asleep I think."
After drying Hunter Claire headed back to the kitchen working on her computer "what are you working on?" Castiel spoke his bare feet hitting the kitchen floor as he walked to start the coffee machine "Studying for my intro to hosp final." Claire had decided to study hospitality instead of going into fashion, like her late mother, she had no interest in the fashion world. He was never angry by it he wanted her to be happy and he also knew that this industry was not for everyone even Michael –her father- as the heir to the Angels fashion empire tried his best to stick to the business aspect of everything.
The Angels have always been introverts at least 80% introverted –Gabriel was the rare exception- and the fashion industry was a very extroverted industry started by his great grandmother who was a seamstress in Germany – she was one of those rare extrovert- and brought her designs to the USA when escaping Nazis. So Castiel wasn't surprise when Claire sat him down and told him that she didn't want to do the same as him even he needs what Dean calls 'introvert breaks' were he spends time alone at the library in his townhouse just reading or sometimes Dean would take him on a break to Dean's villa in Italy or their vacation home in Greece.
The best thing for an extreme introvert is to find a partner like Dean who understand you and support you instead of pushing you and forcing you to do or be something that you are not. "How's work going so far?" Claire worked at one of Dean's restaurants in Manhattan "It's good, Naruto always makes me laugh so he makes it interesting." Castiel has heard that name a lot but has never met the boy as Claire liked to keep her family and work separate she also did not want people to know who she was
"people would behave differently and I won't be able to tell who the parasites are because they would all try to kiss my ass."
"How is Naruto? I feel like I know him already even though I never met him."
Claire smiled at that for a long time Castiel was sure that his niece was in love with the boy but she set him straight "Ewww that's like me liking Jack in that way."
"He's good I'm still trying to get him a backbone."
The older man smiled something he has always been grateful for was that Claire inherited her father's strong character which is apparently rare for an Omega. "Not everyone is as confrontational as you." The words came from a sleepy looking Dean in pajama pants and an AC/DC t-shirt something that Castiel knows he did not sleep in.
Claire just stuck her tongue out but Dean just smiled and walked over to his mate kissing him good morning. "Going casual today?" Castiel asked as he wrapped his arm around Dean's waist pulling him so that their hips were against each other's "Getting a little of a lie in before starting the day." Dean's voice was deeper than normal due to sleep "after the day you've had yesterday I'm not surprise." Claire smiled
"Speaking of I was wondering if I could ask you some questions uncle Dean?"
Both Castiel and Dean raised an eyebrow because the girl only calls him uncle Dean when she wants something from him.
"I will try you know there are somethings I can't mention."
"Duh!"
That was more like the Claire they knew, the three sat down and ate breakfast provided by Dean who was the only one with any cooking skills in the family.
Claire watched her uncle and Dean eating their breakfast it was secretly one of her favorite morning past times. She admired their relationship and the fact that it was unconventional, making her feel normal for once. Claire had no interest what so ever in sex of any kind but as an Omega it was expected that she marry young –to an Alpha of course- and pop out babies like her life depended on it. She never got to meet her father and back home no one spoke of him only her uncle would tell her stories about him.
When her mother died –at 7 years old- her uncle Lucifer –who is her father's twin brother- and his mate took her in. They raised her and treated her as their own especially since they were having issues having their own child. Until she was 15 and her uncle Lucifer fell pregnant, she was happy for them but fell like she was intruding. So when she graduated she applied to colleges away from home but she wanted to be close to family and she was always closer to her uncle Cas.
That was how she found herself in New York and she never regretted that decision not only because she was with her uncle but also because New York was one of the most progressive states in sense of Omega rights. Looking up she realized that while lost in thought Castiel and Dean decided to ignore their breakfast and try to eat each other.
"Ewww! Guys! I'm still here!"
The two pulled away Castiel with a slight blush on his cheeks but otherwise unflustered and Dean with a smirk on his face "Are you? It did not seem that way." Green eyes stared at her the challenging shine always there something that got him in trouble a lot "What? Now I can't think or you two take advantage and make out, at least wait until I'm done eating" Dean just continue to smirk at her his chipmunk cheeks filled with food "Oh I almost forgot, I'm stopping over today."
"What?! Why?"
"Have you forgotten that I'm the CEO and as such I have to do inspections every once in a while."
"I know. Just don't embarrass me!"
"Wow, I thought I would be the one getting the 'don't embarrass me' talk. It's a nice change."
"Shut up you. How can I embarrass you? No one knows that we know each other also I am awesome and people adore me."
"True."
"Aww thanks babe."
"Eww don't start again, at least wait until I leave."
Claire yelled from the hallway on her way to the door, Dean and Castiel laughed they both enjoy their morning routine of teasing Claire. "I have to get ready; I have a board meeting to talk about the Gallery." Castiel kissed his mate one more time before heading upstairs to her ready for his day. This was their mornings when Claire stays over only usually Dean is also rushing to get ready and head out early but today he was doing some work from home before heading to the office. He was going to mainly be on his feet and out of the office today anyways as he wanted to check on The Mark and later he needs to do the monthly site inspection at The Bunker might do it when Claire was working just to annoy her.
Unlike most mornings Naruto was sleeping in since today was his day off at the café but a loud consistent knocking refused to let him. At first he was fine with ignoring it until the knocking was followed by loud yelling "I know you're there brat! Open the door!" It was the voice of his superintendent who was a major asshole but he could kick Naruto out so he had to open "I'm coming!" The blond got out of his bed groggy and annoyed normally Naruto was a morning person but he was exhausted, he's been working none stop for months now.
Opening the door he came face to face with the middle age Alpha who took care of the building –not well- looking at him annoyed "Rent is due." Naruto knew this was a lie, rent wasn't due for another week but this Alpha was one of those prejudice Alphas that were disgusted by Betas and discriminated against them. "We both know that is not true, I still have a week and I've never missed a payment." He wanted to add that it was pointless for the man to waste his time trying to visit him but he knew that would only make the man mad and get him in trouble so he kept his thoughts to himself.
"Well I say its due now got a problem with that?"
The man smirked; the smug look in his eyes spoke of a man that was used to getting everything he wanted due to his second gender "I don't have a problem with it…" The smirk got wider but for once Naruto was prepared he was glad that Hinata helped him research this "…but the City of New York might, seeing as it's against their laws." The man did a great impression of a fish out of water before his face turns a pissed of red "A week and once you miss that payment I'll be glad to through your ass on the streets." The man stomp away in anger and Naruto was able to release a breath he didn't realize he was holding. With his coming pay check from his job at The Bunker he would be able to pay his rent so he wasn't too worried.
Luckily for him Naruto was one of those rare people that could go back to sleep after being woken up so he slept for most of the morning. Later he tried to clean the apartment and have his breakfast of ramen since no café meant no breakfast or coffee. Then it was off to The Bunker for his dinner shift, just one more day until pay day so he made sure to leave his clothes to do laundry after he paid rent.
He passed Ramen Ichiraku on his way to the subway, it was just a mom and pop place but if he had a choice he would pick it above any high end restaurant. It was because when he first came to the states Teuchi and his daughter Ayame were the first and only ones to welcome him and help him get on his feet. They took him in those first few days; the owner even let him help out for a few bucks until he could get a full time of his own. They were never bothered by his second gender like most people were.
Teuchi was an old Alpha who despite his generation was fairly open minded. Now a ramen place in the Bronx seemed a little out of place seeing as most Asian population in New York was in Queens so that is the best option or at least Manhattan who has the second biggest Chinatown in the U.S. When he asked Teuchi the man said "To thrive where one does not belong is the ultimate sign of strength and longevity" Whatever the hell that meant, the old man was like a fortune cookie filled with cryptic messages.
"Hey old man, Where Ayame-chan?" Naruto talked loudly like always
"Inside voice brat and she's in school like you should be."
This had always been an argument between them, the man wanted the best for Naruto and though the blond should go to college and get a degree "We've been over this old man I can barely make it as is, I cannot offer school and unlike Ayame-chan I am not smart enough for a scholarship." Naruto hated the pity and sadness that he saw in the older man's eyes "here! I just fished a batch on Miso Ramen." Naruto could feel the drool running down his chin "Awesome! This is why you are my favorite." He exclaimed before inhaling the hot bowl, at this point Naruto's mouth has become immune to burning.
"That hurts"
Naruto raise his head to see his Iruka at the door with a smile on his face. "Iruka-sensei!" The Omega was still in his hospital scrubs. "I figure I will see you here. I would worry about your Ramen only diet if I did not know Teuchi-san." He met the man when he ran into Ichiraku after being beat up, lucky for him the man is a nurse so he healed him and took him under his wings teaching him English. "Ramen is the food of the gods; it has all major food groups." Iruka rolled his eyes "How is everything?" The man could not help but parent the kid there was always something about Naruto that made you want to protect him and care for him. "Everything is good; actually I need to head out to my shift at The Bunker." He said his goodbyes and walked out running to the subway station.
For once Naruto was the first one on his shift and he was shock but he took advantage of that to breathe and try to make his uniform look more presentable now more than ever he could not afford to lose this job. He went into the kitchen and took a pot filled it with hot water to iron the uniform, it was the way he had to do it back in his village it was the poor way to iron not like he is rich now but in the US there better resources even if it is just the thrift store iron he has at home.
It brought back memories of his childhood, bad ones but also the good ones of him ironing his close to go on a date provided that in the end it was all a prank –he should have known, the boy was a pretty Omega that everyone wanted but he choose Naruto a Beta- even with that he could remember his excitement and anxiety. Claire found him lost in thought with his 'iron' which was cooling. "What are you doing? And more importantly who are you and where is Naruto?" Naruto rolled his eyes
"haha hilarious, for your information I'm ironing my uniform."
Claire was not surprised by that, I mean she though it was a little weird to use a pot of water, but otherwise not strange what was strange was seeing the blond there before her. "Okay, what happened? You're on time; in fact you're early, what gives?" Claire looked worry now and Naruto realized how accustom the girl was to seeing him arrive barely on time if it was one thing he learned about Claire was that the girl was use to routine "It was my day off at the café so I had time." This seemed to pacify the girl who went over to get ready for their shift.
Claire was nervous all through family meal and during the briefing; she got worse while they were prepping their station. She kept looking towards the door as if waiting for someone to come in "Claire is everything okay?" The girl snapped so hard at attention that he was worry she might have broken something
"Are we waiting for someone?"
Suddenly she tried to pretend that everything was okay but Naruto knew her well enough to know otherwise "No, everything is fine." Naruto did not believe for a second but he gave it to her "Uzumaki! These glass are filthy did you not see that." Ruby yelled as she waved a smudged glass "That was not part of my station, if you see all my dishes are clean and my station's prep." That got him an evil look from the woman and a proud smile from Claire "did I ask you? Get these clean, now!" Naruto just took the crate of glass and walked over to the kitchen to do the job that should belong to someone else.
Claire was pissed again Naruto was being taken the fool as the only Beta in the team, for once she wished she could use her connections to make things better for her friend. Before she could do anything her connection walked through the door the image of powerful CEO. His presence made Ruby practically wet her panties as she almost trip to reach him first "Sir what a surprise, we were not expecting you." Dean looked around his face completely blank giving nothing away it was a change from the man that Claire knew. "Where is Alistair?" Ruby turned her hips and pop her chest, flipped her hair put on what she probably believed was a seductive smile.
Claire rolled her eyes and Dean completely ignored her even though he was aware to what she was trying to do "I will ask again where is my GM?" Ruby seemed to get nervous but like always her spies had her back "Sorry I had to step out for a minute." An older man walked into the room with a smug smirk on his face, god he gave Claire the creeps "Dean it's good to see you but we weren't expecting you." Alistair was an older Alpha that seemed to believe that he and Dean were closer than they actually were.
"Let's talk in your office."
Dean did not wait for his response but just waked toward the man's office. "Get back to work!" Ruby yelled before following after the two men but not before giving her spies a look to signal that they've done well, some kiss ass is going to get holidays off. "Hey what I miss?" She turned to see Naruto walking out of the back with the crate of glass looking around at everyone's face "Nothing, just Ruby being a bitch." Naruto raised his eye brow
"Isn't she always? That's nothing new."
Dean hated dealing with Alistair the man was an arrogant and an asshole but so far he got the job done. He never got any complain about the ones in charge from the employees but he knew that did not mean a problem did not exist. Dean had been in the hospitality industry since he could remember, he has done every job from the bottom to the top –his father insisted actually- so he that often the employees are either too scare to complain and just keep their head down until they can quit. This was the reason that Dean continue his surprise inspections in fact he was so sure something was going on that he did his inspections for The Bunker more often than other places and took care of them himself.
Even if he hated them with a passion, Alistair and Ruby were two of the most opportunistic and egotistical people he knew only beaten by the former's daughter Lilith. "I did not know you were coming today, if I did I wouldn't have stepped out." Alistair exclaimed with what Dean calls his 'ass kissing' smile. "That was the point, there is no point to a plan inspection, is there?" Dean was looking around checking everything while Ruby tried to get his attention the only thing about being with Cas was that every Alpha believed that he only liked Alphas so even they tried to get his attention it was annoying.
"Ruby go and make sure everything is prep for dinner service and have a table for Dean prepare."
The woman was not happy by the command but she knew she could not disobey especially with Dean present. "Shall I set a table for two?" She asked since usually Cas joined him but Dean only looked at her as if the answer was obvious. "Of course I will make sure everything is set." Once the woman left Alistair took that time to make conversation and suck up which Dean ignored asking about the restaurant and looking at the books. It was a while and Dean could here service going on downstairs but he was focus on his task which might have been when Alistair took the time to make the call
"Dean!"
A flash of blonde and flowery perfume rushed in and crashed on him, small soft arms wrapped around his torso. "Lilith, what a surprise…" The sarcasm in Dean's voice was so thick that even Lilith and Alistair could hear it "…What are you doing here?" Dean knew it was a waste, he knew why the Omega was here and how she knew he was there his eyes turned to a smirking Alistair. "Isn't it great? I was shopping and I came to visit daddy imagine my surprise when they told me you were here too. It's fate!" Dean lift his eye brow "Is it?" his eyes turned to the phone still in Alistair's hand which the man immediately put in his pockets, Lilith realized that Dean might be on to them
"well sometimes fate needs a little help."
Ruby interrupted them at that time "I was able to find a table Dean, its set up for you." Lilith eyes shined "oh Dean you are eating here tonight?" Ruby glared at the Omega she hated her boss' daughter mainly because the girl was interested in the same man that she was and because Ruby knew that the blonde Omega could give Dean something she couldn't. In that moment he got a text from Cas apologizing "Stuck in the office. I'm sorry I will make it up to you at home tonight." Dean could not help but smile while he was disappointed the promised of tonight soften the disappointment "It will just me tonight." Lilith saw her opportunity and took it "In that case I will keep you company." She exclaimed before latching onto Dean's arm and walking out with him not before winking at her father and smirking at Ruby.
Alistair held the brunette back from following after the two "remember you are an Alpha and a Sentinel Ruby dear…" Ruby glared at the man "what is that supposed to mean?" Alistair smirked letting go of her arm "…It means you don't stand a chance so don't waste your time. I like you; you're a good manager I don't want to have to replace you." With that threat Ruby was left alone filled with so much anger that she punched the wall
"asshole!"
Dean wasn't surprised when he realized that his table was on the second floor away from the balcony that would allow him a view of the main floor. He also had no misconception about who was serving him, every server on this level was probably ones Ruby trusted explicitly, who she had under her thumb meaning Dean wasn't going to get anything. Lilith was stuck to his arm even as Dean tried to get loose; Cas was definitely going to have to make it up to him for this. "Welcome back to The Bunker, Alpha Winchester…" The servant was a young pretty Omega who Lilith immediately glared at making the poor kid practically tremble and bow slightly "…Omega Van Der Hel."
Despite the way things were staged Dean still asked question of the different servers tasting the appetizer course before getting up and going to see the kitchen, he spoke to his executive chef everything in there was running like a well oil machine. The food was never an issue at The Bunker but he asked about products, vendors and menu it was one of the highlights of the night as he loved cooking himself and it was the only honesty he would probably get the whole night.
All throughout this Lilith was hanging on his arm no amount of maneuvering from Dean seemed to work. After he walked over to the main bar to talk to some guest and the bartender watching the service he heard it "How dare you touch me or even speak to me at all, you stupid Beta!" Dean was up on his feet immediately walking over to see a small blond with his back to him and a plump older man -who by the smell was an Alpha- towering over him but even more interesting Claire was behind the blond.
Naruto felt like this service was different for some reason; everyone was almost putting on a show for someone. Claire and he were changed from their normal section in the main area to one in the back almost being hidden away. "Do you know why we were changed from our section?" Claire just shrugged her shoulders "don't know, don't care. I'm just happy to get away from the pervert section." The girl normally has a main section in the restaurant and as such she gets a lot of asshole Alphas thinking that the Omega is there for eye candy and she can't say anything "The customer is king!" which is annoying but fortunately they only look and talk. But Naruto always kept an eye and ear out just in case things escalated.
It had been a normal service and Claire seemed more comfortable with her new section but Naruto was not the same as he saw the old fat man that kept staring at Claire as she passed by. Naruto was handling a table of Alphas that seemed to be on a business dinner and were all chauvinistic assholes.
The fat one kept making comments about Omegas and Claire in particular while staring directly at her ass. The man looked to be three times her age but still spoke as if he could get the attention of someone like Claire, he believed he was young and good looking.
"Hey Beta where is our food?!"
His gender was spit out like an insult but Naruto was used to it "The orders has been placed sir, it is on its way." This got him a glare, he could tell the man wanted to slap him –he was one of those traditional assholes that was used to hitting whoever he wanted- but was showing surprising restraint. Naruto almost wished he didn't because that was the only way Naruto would be able to hit him and not get fired "Watch your mouth imbecile!" Naruto's eye twitched but he remembered he had rent to pay so he grinned and bared it
"my apologies sir."
It was just one of those nights that got worse when the old lecher wrapped his arm around Claire's waist pulling her to him as she walked by. "Please let me go sir." But her words just made him laugh as he pulled her on his knee and unfortunately even with his old age he was still an Alpha therefore stronger than Claire.
No one was doing anything some looked on disappointed but did not do anything about it apparently the Alpha was very influential. Naruto did not want to interfere at first since Claire was an independent woman that could take care of herself but he started to see her armor chip away, the slight shake of her body was the final straw.
"Sir, please release the staff. She is obviously uncomfortable and did not consent to this."
Suddenly everyone on the table was staring at him, the man in question glared "Is he talking to me?" One of his friends sneered at Naruto "He couldn't be not if he knows what's good for him" another friend laughed "Well he's a Beta their not exactly smart." Everyone laughed but Naruto ignored them "Sir I will ask again please release her." Again he was laughed at or ignored so Naruto walked over grab the man's arm tight and pulled it away from Claire; the girl took her queue and got up off his lap. The man stood up towering over Naruto ripping his arm from the blonde's hold "How dare you touch me or even speak to me at all, you stupid Beta!" He was so fired there was no doubt in his mind of that based on the guilty look Claire send him she knew that too.
"What seems to be the problem?"
Ruby walked over glaring at Naruto who felt his heart beat in fear for the first time; it hit him that he had lost his job and most likely his apartment since he won't be able to pay for rent. "Your staff disrespected me and I demand that you fire him immediately." Ruby glared even harder at Naruto "I am terribly sorry about that Alpha. We will comp you meal for the inconvenience." Naruto turned his head up "What?! But he practically molested Claire!" the man was not bothered by the claim instead he smirked "She's an Omega, she should be honor." Naruto was disgusted by the respond even worse by the fact that Ruby was still glaring at him as if he was the one in the wrong.
"Should she now?"
A voice behind him claimed sarcastically it made both Ruby and the old man freeze their eyes wide. "Is this how you treat your employees?" Ruby immediately rushed to explained herself telling Naruto that this person was more important than the fatso. "It was just a miss understanding, Naruto is too high strung I have taken care of it." Alistair the GM walked over "see Dean all taken care of." The man terrified Naruto the blond was sure the man was a demon but if he was going to be fired than he will be sure to protect Claire on his way out
"That's a lie!"
Ruby looked like she wanted to kill him but Naruto knew that this was his chance to save himself and if not himself than at least Claire. He turned to look at the tall man towering over him "Sir that is not what happened. This man touched a waitress inappropriately when I asked him to stop he did not so I stopped him." The fat man was pissed "How dare you…!" He raised his hand to hit Naruto he closed his eyes waiting for the hit but it never came, once he opened his eyes he saw a strong hand held him inches from Naruto's face. Naruto followed that hand up to an arm up to what was the most beautiful face Naruto has ever seen 'holy shit! I bet he doesn't have to force someone to pay attention to him.'
Dean could not believe that this is happening but he is glad that it happened while he was present. He saw Ruby and Alistair try to sweep it under the table but if an employee was assaulted Dean wanted to know and deal with it but unfortunately for them –and fortunately for him- the tiny blond was not letting them. "They are both lying trying to extort me." Claire walked over "That is not true! I was just walking by when he pulled me towards him and wouldn't let me go."
Dean saw red the Alpha in him roar and Angus came out growling slightly at the fat man, his grip tighten he could feel the bones under his hand start to give way any more pressure and he would break them right now they will definitely bruise. "Ahhh!" Ruby and Alistair were going to interfere until Dean's eyes flashed gold "how dare you!" Claire walked forward worry that Dean might lose control
"Dean, sweetheart let go of the man; you're not going to believe some waitress over a guest."
Lilith stepped forward voice soft and it work on other Alphas in the room but when she placed her hand on his arm he shrugged in away. If it was any other situation Claire would have laughed at the look on Lilith's face but she walked forward she needed to calm Dean down maybe she might have to call Cas
"Stop! You're going to break his arm and as fun as that would be to watch it won't solve anything"
A bigger yet still small hand landed on Dean's arm and when he followed that hand to its body his green eyes got lost in big cerulean blue ones. "Please let go." The voice begged more gently and almost as if it had a mind of its own Dean's hand released the fat bastard all without moving his eyes away. Claire could not believe that Dean was staring longing into Naruto's eyes he has never done that before with anyone other than Cas.
Claire gasp as she saw it, Naruto was subconsciously petting Angus who was leading comfortably against the blond. Naruto looked toward his friend and that released Dean from the spell those blue eyes had on him and he was able to look at the rest of that face. Tan golden skin, his hair was straight wild –similar to Cas' but longer- a bright color as if a wheat field and the sun had a baby.
The eyes were wide with an innocence filled with joy and a deeper darkness. Lips full in a constant pout as sweet as a rose Dean wanted to know if they were as soft and plush as they looked. The boy –he looked young- was tiny to the point that if he reached 5'5 than Dean would be surprise but his body was not slim and feminine like that of male Omegas nor was it big and burly like an Alpha more of happy medium.
Naruto was completely oblivious to the fact that he was being admired so intensely by what was one of the most eligible and powerful bachelors in the country probably the world. He was more focus on Claire and what caught her attention leading his eyes to the massive wolf with its head on Naruto's waist close to his ribs but most of all to his own hand petting the unknown animal.
"Holy shit!"
He jumped away getting a slight whine from the animal and giving Dean a great view of one of the greatest ass he has ever seen 'the things we can do to that…' but his attention was back on the owner of set ass "I am so sorry I didn't realize that I was…I always wanted a pet…not that he is a pet…I…it…um" Naruto turned to Claire for help as his cheek burn bright that along with the wide cerulean eyes and pouty lips
'so cute!'
'Uncle Dean and Uncle Cas are so screwed.'
Lilith, Alistair and even Ruby began to tell what was going on, the interest was obvious on Dean's face –pupils slightly blown and tongue licking his lips- and if that wasn't enough they could smell the arousal on him directed toward the blond Beta. Before she could scream a camera sound brought Dean's mind back to earth, he assessed the situation "Alistair have security escort these gentlemen out and make sure they are never allowed in."
"But…"
"Be lucky I am not pressing charges. Now get out of my sight before I decide to finish the job and break your arm."
The men rushed out almost trip over themselves to get away from Dean "Make sure that they pay their tap plus a very generous tip." Dean instructed Ruby who in the face of that Alpha voice could not help but follow his orders although she wanted to stay. Dean walked over to Claire the people in the restaurant were beginning to take out their cameras and that was making the girl more nervous so he knew it was time to go. He sent her a quick look 'I'm sorry, secret is out.' And received one that said 'just get me out of here' Claire felt herself go back to her childhood with the media following her entire life after her father's death and later her mother's; she was close to a panic attack.
Dean wrapped his arm around her shoulder "Alistair we will speak about the lack of protection for the employees tomorrow, right now I have to get her home." Lilith looked jealous and demand stomping her foot like a child "why is that your problem?" and it only got her a glare from Dean that made her inner Omega whimper "because she is family." That made Alistair's eyes widen this girl was a Winchester but he did not know, he was going to have a talk with Ruby about this how could she not tell him. "I knew you were going to find a way to slack off and leave me all the work." Naruto teased completely unbothered by the new discovery mainly because he had no idea who Dean was. "You know me I'm precious." Naruto laughed and it was one of the most beautiful sounds Dean has ever heard right along with Castiel's voice, he wanted to hear it more, to do everything he could to bring it out more
"keep telling yourself that."
Suddenly the blond pulled Claire into a hug which Claire returned and for a brief moment Dean was jealous of his mate's niece until he heard the words "if I don't see you again take care of yourself, it was awesome to meet you…Imouto." He pulled back and gave the brightest smile Dean has ever seen anyone give, it was like the sun was shining but the eyes were sad and Claire's eyes got a little shiny as well. Dean understood that word his Japanese was little rusty but he still understood which made sense since the blonde's eyes were slightly slanted on the sides
"No need for goodbyes"
The two looked at him with a patronizing 'you're adorable look' which he gave them an indignant one back even though he was smiling. "Claire go get your things" The girl rushed to the locker room ignoring the employees staring at her with their jaws in the floor "Ladies and gentlemen I would like to apologies for this shameful scene that you had to witness. On behave of Winchester Group I will like to offer you all a complementary dessert or drink tonight. Again I am terribly sorry." The people seemed happy and some –rich entitled ones- felt that they deserved it for being interrupted.
"Ruby make sure that this gets done."
The brunette who had returned from taking care of the unruly guests "Of course Dean, consider it done" Dean then turned to the short blond with his head down and walked over to him. "As for you…" Naruto felt strong big hands gently grab his chin and lift his head to look into emerald green eyes "…I would like to thank you for protecting Claire even when you thought it might get you in trouble." Naruto saw something in those eyes that he could not decipher "It was no problem, Claire is a good friend and I always look out for my friends." The loyalty that Dean saw in those gorgeous eyes and heard in those words definitely made him jealous of the young girl, in that moment he decide
'I will make sure that I earn that loyalty and devotion.'
With his mind made up it was easy for Dean to switch on the charm, to wake up the flirty hunter that he has rarely used since Cas and he became an item. "What's your name?" Lilith was close to turning purple the husky tone left no doubt that the Alpha was interested in the short blond 'a fucking Beta!' Alistair was pissed his daughter was going to mate with Dean and Castiel so that he would slowly take power and control.
While Ruby smirked she might be jealous of the blond waiter but she was enjoying Lilith's reaction a lot more besides she knew that the most she could have with Dean was a little temporary fun. They were both Alphas and Sentinels making them three and that was too much for any relationship. "Umm Naruto Uzumaki" Naruto wasn't sure why this man made him nervous but he did, Dean enjoyed the blush that plus the slight scent of arousal told him the blond was interested even if he did not know it yet.
Claire was walking over so Dean took Naruto's smaller hand 'it fits perfectly' and brought it to his lips placing a soft yet meaningful kiss on it. The kiss also served to get a good smell of the blond and realized that he was a Beta 'my little Beta, hmm' Naruto was blinking at the taller handsome man before him completely confuse. Lilith could not hold the sound of displeasure and Alistair had to hold her arm so that she would not jump the blond, Ruby laughed lightly and Claire rolled her eyes.
"I will see you again very soon, Naruto."
He regrettably let go of the blonde's hand after caressing it a little and walking away not being able to stop himself from looking back towards the blond that had stolen his breath and attention in one night until he was out the door unknowingly leaving poor Naruto to the wolves. "Great now I have to watch you and probably Uncle Cas go gaga over my friend."
"Hopefully not for long"
"Eww too much information"
"You know I have to tell him about tonight."
"Yea I figured as much but you are going to keep him from killing anyone."
"No promises"
"Naruto wouldn't like it"
She saw the change in Dean's expression; the man was actually reconsidering it.
"Oh my god! He's already got you wrapped around his fingers."
"Shut up!"
"You're so whipped"
The room was left in silence after the departure of the two Winchester everyone was frozen until a plate was drop somewhere and movement returned everyone was mumbling and looking at the blond left behind. Lilith walked over and slapped him in the face the sound so loud that it was heard in the whole restaurant. The slapped hurt the blond so much that his eyes got shiny with tears that wanted to fall, his cheek bright red but worse than the pain was the humiliation "you filthy insignificant useless Beta! How dare you think that you can even look at let alone talk to MY Alpha-Sentinel" Again people were paying attention to the scene so Ruby intervene getting between the two "let me go!" holding Lilith back
"Take her upstairs, she cannot make another scene in front of the guests."
Alistair listened only because she had all Alphas in a frenzy by the stench of her anger which was making them want to make her happy "Let me go! I am going to kill that filthy Beta tramp!" Naruto became self-conscious and decided to start clearing the table to distract himself and ignore the stares. She was rushed into the GM office in the back, she tried to get back out but her father used his Alpha presences and her Omega immediately heeled "you will calm down we cannot afford any more scandals or for anything to reach back to Dean." Lilith pouted like the spoil child she was "but father you saw what I saw, the way Dean looked at that stinking Beta. Dean is mine! You promised that he will be mind and now that little tramp is going to…" Alistair looked at Lilith holding her face in his hands "he is going to do nothing because he is not going to be here." Lilith's eyes shined with interest
"you will fire him right?"
"Of course, even if Dean wasn't interested I can't have someone with such loose tongue here."
Naruto went about the rest of the service knowing that it was his last but hoping that the fact that he was still there meant that it might not be. He was almost on auto pilot which worked in ignoring all the curious questions that were thrown his way from the people interested in gossip. He thought of the rent and his bills, if he was fired he could use his severance from this place to pay rent for this month and then start looking for a job before next month. He was already making a list of places that he would check to see if they have vacancy, maybe he might need to move as well go back to living in a rented room instead of a whole apartment to himself.
Somehow he got through the rest of the night and soon it was just employees some left early –those preferred by Ruby and Alistair- while others stayed behind and did all the work "Uzumaki in the office, now!" They all stared at him and he could see it in their eyes 'dead man walking' but he held his head high walked into the GM office where Alistair and a smirking Lilith waited for him.
"Uzumaki today you displayed a level of disobedience that I cannot condone. This is a very high-end establishment and the people expect a high-end service therefore my staff must be up to part. They all must know the customer is always right, they are king of course I wouldn't expect an ignorant Beta such as yourself to understand that…" The man got up walking around each word stabbing harder and harder at the blonde's self-esteem "…You know people warn me not to take the Beta but I wanted to give you a chance and this is how you repay me…" Naruto looked up
"Sir I…"
Lilith pushed him making him stumble "when your betters talk you shut up and listen." Alistair shook his head as if disappointed "You have left me no choice I will make this quick and simple, you are fired" Naruto knew it was coming but damn did it weight heavier than he thought it would. "Well why are you still here." Lilith was the one to ask voiced annoyed "oh well my severance pay…do I come back tomorrow for it or…?" Father and daughter looked at him silence for a while before the daughter laughed and the father smirked
"Severance pay? After the scandal that you cause, you should be lucky that nobody is pressing charges for assault or suing the restaurant." Naruto's eyes widen he needed that to pay rent
"That's not fair! You can't do that…" Suddenly Alistair was in his face
"I am Alistair Van Der Hel while you are a nobody, a Beta, I can do whatever I want. I suggest you leave before I decide to use my connections to make sure your life a living hell." Naruto tighten his fist before walking out of the room and rushing to his locker to pick up his stuff.
The other employees watched as he cleaned up and left some sneering while others looked on in pity and all through that Naruto held the tears. He held them in the streets as he walked and in the train as he rode home once the door to his apartment closed the tears fell and he curled up in his bed and cried for his crappy childhood and the all the times he was laughed at, made a fool, used, humiliated, he cried for the crappy cards life dealt him. He just cried all the fake smiles catching up to him, he was so lost in his sorrow that he did not notice a red ball of fluff cuddle up with him.
