Abandoned at the Movies

The gang were all sitting down in their seats at the nearest cinema in the area, watching the credits. It had been hell trying to conceal the angels' wings with them being full grown again and not able to hide their wings with their Grace. After purchasing some huge coats they finally were able to cover them though and finally go to the movies. It's not like anyone would really notice the wings in the dark theater, but one never knows. Even if it was a pain, Charlie has had her heart set on going to that Valentine's Day chick flick Winter's Tale. Don't ask why she would want to see something like that. She just said she thought it would suit us. Maybe because it had demons, Lucifer, and a fucking flying horse.

"Will Smith as Luci?! Humans; I love them!" Gabriel chuckled, popping the last kernel of popcorn into his mouth.

"Better than Titanic though wasn't it, Balthy?" Charlie asked, nudging the angel sitting next to her. Balthazar grimaced.

"Pft, everything is better than the Titanic. Even Twilight is better than freaking Titanic!" Balthazar stated. Charlie gave him a raised brow.

"You did not just say that." Balthazar shrugged.

"What? That god awful Celine Dion song is way worse than any sparkly vampire," the angel stated. Charlie shook her head, giving the middle angel a very long explanation of how Twilight forever will stay at the bottom of the heap.

Dean stretched his limbs and glanced over to Castiel as the others bickered. The angel had fallen asleep in his chair and was currently curled up in his trench coat. Dean smirked. He couldn't blame the angel. He almost fell asleep himself. The hunter reached over to shake the angel awake, but Kevin grabbed his wrist.

"Let him sleep. We need a bathroom break and popcorn refills anyway," Kevin stated, shaking the empty carton of popcorn. "He should be alright here until we get back. " Dean nodded and they start to head towards the doors. Gabriel leaves a note on Cas' popcorn pox just in case he wakes up before they get back. The odds of that happening are slim though.

Dean and Sammy got the refills on the popcorn while the others visited the bathrooms, or in the angels' case- look at the movie posters. Dean was just about to turn and head back to wake up Cas when he was suddenly engulfed in a tight embrace and his name was shouted. Dean blinked a few times in shock by his sudden attack and glanced down to see that it is Cas who was hugging the life out of him. Dean's eyes trailed up to Sammy's and the younger Winchester simply shrugged, at a loss for words. Dean was about to push Cas off when he noticed how much the angel was shaking.

"Cas? Castiel, what's wrong?" Dean questioned, wrapping his arms around the angel comfortingly. The angel didn't say a word and Dean slowly peeled away and tilted the angel's head up to meet Castiel's eyes. There was so much fear in those blue eyes that Dean instantly held Cas again. "Cas?" Dean pushed, trying to get something out of the angel. Charlie, Kevin, Bobby, and the angels watch from a distance, looking just as worried.

"It's nothing," Cas croaks, pulling away from Dean again, but still not letting go of the hunter. He smiled at Dean, shaking his head. "I was just being stupid." Dean took the angels face in his hands and turned it so the angel's blue eyes are looking into the hunters.

"Stupid or not it's bothering you and if it bothers you it bothers me," Dean stated simply. Castiel tried to look away again, but Dean had a firm hold on the angel. Cas gulped, and let out a rattled sigh.

"I…thought you left. I woke up and I…It was dark and it was the forest all over again so-" Cas doesn't get a chance to finish his exclamation. It's all covered up by the whooping laughter of Dean Winchester. Cas frowns when his best friend laughs at him, pulling away from the Winchester. "What's so funny?" Dean wipes the tears from his eyes and shakes his head. He knows he shouldn't laugh. Cas is still terrified of being alone and it's all Dean's fault. That entire business with forest and the demons did more than just turn the angels back. It scared that hell out of them and there was nothing he could do about it. Well, maybe there was.

"You still don't get it do you?" Dean chuckled, hiding the pain in his voice with the laughter. "You're my brother now Cas. Family! In other words nobody is getting left behind." Sam snorted, wrinkling his nose at his brother.

"Did you just quote Lilo and Stitch?" Sam questions, raising a brow at Dean. Dean flips him off. Sam's one to talk. He fucking bawled his eyes out during Stitch has a Glitch. Shaking his head free of other thoughts about aliens and Hawaiians, Dean turned his attention to the angel staring at him with that stupid head tilt and deep blue eyes. "I'm not abandoning you, Cas. I'm never going to let that happen," he whispered softly. A relieved expression passed over Castiel's face and Gabriel chose that time to march over and slap the two on the back, breaking the chick flick moment in two.

"We did leave a note for you, Little Bro, but that's history I suppose. Now that that is settle I do believe Dean-O here was supposed to be getting us refills?" Gabriel stated, waving at the currently empty containers of popcorn now sitting on the floor where Dean had set them after trying to comfort Cas.

"What the h-" Dean stopped, turning slightly to see Sammy with a mouthful of salty popcorn. "Son of a Bitch!" Dean growled, whacking his brother over the head.

"Ouch, Jerk!" Sam snarls, rubbing at his head, but still smirking since Dean ended up getting half chewed popcorn spat all over his jacket. Castiel started giggling and Dean turned to the angel with an evil look. Oh, you think that's funny, Angel?" Dean questioned. Cas bolted away from Dean, dodging the popcorn the hunter threw at him.

Thank you Athena'sDragon for the request. There will be one more chapter of the angels all grown up. If you haven't seen Winter's Tale you should. It's good, but not as good as SPN of course. Enjoy the chapter everyone!
