The bus ride to Sam's hometown had been quiet and peaceful. Castiel and Sam spent their time waiting by reading and taking naps. Waking up by the bus driver letting them know their finally stop was ahead, Castiel lifted his head up off Sam's shoulder. Carefully moving to look out the window while he let Sam sleep some more.
His heartbeat was beating faster by the second. Any minute now he'll be meeting Sam's older brother and cousin. Tomorrow he would be meeting Sam's uncle and aunt over dinner. Castiel jolted in his seat when all of a sudden Sam had kissed his cheek.
"Sorry, didn't realize you were in such a deep thought." Sam said with a soft chuckle. Stretching and giving out a loud yawn.
"It's okay. I just didn't hear you waking up. You surprised me." Castiel said with a small smile before turning back to face the window.
"Still nervous?" Sam asked while running his fingers through Castiel's hair. Knowing that whenever the older man was nervous or scared that this always calmed him down a bit. Castiel just nodded still looking out the window as he checked out Sam's hometown curiously. It was a small town but it looked so peaceful and friendly.
Castiel smiled to himself as he watched the people walking on the streets, greeting each other. With how small the town was Castiel wouldn't be surprised if everyone knew one another. The blue-eyed man wished his home was like this. He's home was in the city. His school was full of snobbish people and his family wasn't close at all. The only sibling Castiel was close to was Gabriel. And that was saying something since he had six siblings.
The bus started to slow down. Castiel looked up and seen that they finally had reached the bus station. Taking a deep breath as he thought, he we go.
It didn't take long for them to get their bags off the bus and into a cab. And it didn't take long for them to reach Sam's brother's apartment. Taking yet another deep breath, Castiel followed Sam out of the cab and into the apartment.
Once they reached the front door, Sam had set their bags down gripping Castiel's shoulder as he made the smaller male look up at him. "They're going to love you. Don't worry." Sam reassured Castiel for the last time as he leaned down and pecked the older male's lips.
"Ready?" Sam asked as he was about to knock. Castiel just gave him a nodded before he knocked on the door. Sucking in a deep breath once the door opened. Standing in front of them was a woman around their age. Blond, lean, and with a smile that could burn your eyes.
"Sam!" Jo yelled happily. Jumping up and wrapping her arms around the taller man's neck, hugging him tightly.
"Jo…can't breathe." Sam gasped out. Jo immediately let him go with a laugh. "Missed me much?" He asked with a chuckle.
"You know it." Jo said with a grin as she turned and faced Castiel for the first time. "Castiel?" She asked with a smile. Castile nodded before his eyes went wide when the girl wrapped her arms around him. For his sake it wasn't as tight of a hug as Sam's. "It's so nice to finally meet you! I'm Jo." She said as she back away.
"It's nice to meet you as well." Castiel said after he got over his shocked of being hugged. He was use to somebody being so friendly right away.
"Where's Dean?" Sam asked as they entered the apartment with Jo helping them with their bags. "Where do you think?" She asked with a grin, causing Sam to groan. Castiel just raised his eye brown in confusion.
"Not the garage again. He better not show up all oily and greased up again." Sam complained. Not wanting his boyfriend to meet his older brother like that.
"Well if Castiel is going to be with us for a long time, then I think it's best he meets Dean that way. He's going to have to get us to it like us." Jo joked with a smile. Castiel smiled back. Liking the idea of being with Sam for a long time.
"Um, may I use the restroom?" Castiel asked awkwardly. Jo just smiled and nodded. "Of course. It's down this way." She said as she led the way to the bathroom.
"Thank you." He said as he entered the bathroom. Once inside he let out a long deep sigh. So far so good he thought. Jo, Sam's cousin, was very nice and friendly. And it seemed like they would be close friends. Walking over to the sink, Castiel splashed so cold water on his face. Trying to calm himself down. Soon he would be meeting Dean.
Castiel had been nervous to meet Dean the most. Dean was everything to Sam and vice versa. He was scared that maybe Dean would hate him or think he wasn't good enough for Sam. How would he be able to be with Sam then? He didn't want to put up a wall between the brothers. Or even worse, cause Sam to have to break up with him.
"Stop overthinking Castiel." He muttered to himself looking up and starring into the mirror. "Everything is fine. Everything is going to be fine." He told himself as he splashed his face once more with cold water before turning off the sink.
Leaving the bathroom he was greeted by Jo and her smile once more. Castiel smiled by shyly. "You didn't have to wait for me." He mumbled.
"It's no problem. Besides I wanted to wait and talk to you alone for a second. I can tell you are nervous about meeting Dean. I just want to tell you that you don't need to be." Jo said patting his back. "Dean likes to act like a big macho man but really he is a softy. Don't tell I said that though. The only way to make Dean hate you is if you hurt one of us, his family."
Castiel shook his head. "No, I would never." He said in almost a panic.
"Relax. I know you wouldn't." She said with a light laugh. "I can tell you're a good guy Castiel. And I'm glad Sam has chosen you. Now if Sam is ever mean to you. Let me know. I'll kick his ass. I did it when we were younger and I can do it again if I have too." Jo joked making Castiel smile.
"I'm sure that would never have to come to that. But thank you anyways." He said with a smile.
Hearing the front door open and an unfamiliar voice talking to Sam, Castiel knew that Dean must be home. Jo just laughed. "Well looks like the ape is home. Come on." She said leading them back to the living room. As they headed back to where Sam was, Castiel could feel his heart leap out of his chest. This was it. He was finally going to meet Dean.
"Thank you for showing me where the bathroom was Jo." He said as he almost forgot to thank her.
"No problem Castiel. It's nice to finally meet you. Sam won't shut up about you." Jo teased with a smile, causing Castiel to blush as well as Sam.
"Don't go embarrassing me Jo. Dean will be doing plenty of that I assume." Sam said with a grin. Walking up to Castiel and wrapping his arms around the smaller male's waist. Castiel leaned into this comforting touch. Happy that it was helping him calm down a bit. "Dean this is Castiel. Castiel this is my older brother Dean."
Taking a silent deep breath as he finally looked up to meet Dean's eyes for the first time. His eyes widen a little as Dean's green eyes were burning into his blue. Castiel was even more nervous now. Not for the reason before, but because he didn't expect Dean to be this good looking. What killed him the most was that green eyes have always been a weakness for him.
As Dean continued to stare him down, Castiel titled his head. Confused as to why the man wasn't saying anything. Castiel was about to speak till Dean finally spoke up. "Nice to meet you." Dean said reaching over and shaking Castiel's hand. The moment they touched he felt something spark inside him. Something he has never felt before over somebody else touch. Not even Sams. It worried him.
"It's nice to meet you as well Dean." Castiel said with the best smile he could give. Not realizing what it was doing to Dean.
Letting go of Dean's hand and suddenly missing the others touch. Making Castiel frown in confusion. Not understanding why he was feeling this way. Luckily Sam broke his train of thought.
"I thought we all could go out to eat tonight. I know I'm starved and I'm sure Dean doesn't have any real food in his apartment." Sam suggested. Castiel smiled and nodded up at him. Feeling hungry as well.
"Yes please. And you're right. Dean has nothing but junk here." Jo said with a grin. Dean just rolled his eyes and muttered 'freaking rabbits'. "Hey some people like to eat real food Dean and be healthy, right?" She asked Sam and Castiel.
Castiel just stayed quiet while Sam said yes. Dean just rolled his eyes again. "Whatever. I vote The Road House though."
"We aren't going to eat at the bar Dean." Sam said with bitch face number forty.
"Hey they have the best burgers in town and you know it."
"Yeah but Castiel isn't one for bars."
"I don't mind and if it is the best burger in town I would love to try it." Castiel said not wanting the brother to argue just because he wasn't one for a bar.
Sam raised an eye brow. "You sure? I know how you feel around alcohol and drunks Castiel. You don't have to go just because my jerk of a brother wants to." Dean muttered a bitch back to Sam while the younger brother gave him another bitch face.
Castiel just shook his head. "I really don't mind. Plus you know I love burgers." He said with a smile. Reassuring Sam he was fine with it. Sam sighed but smiled. "Okay. It's whatever you want." He said leaning down and pecking Castiel on the lips.
"Eww. Get a room." Dean teased with a grin while Jo hit him on the shoulder before following Dean to the front door. "While come on love birds lets go. I'm hungry." He teased some more as he walked out the front door with Jo.
Castiel just blushed while Sam rolled his eyes at his brother. "This is going to be a long night." Sam mumbled as they followed Dean and Jo.
Thank you for the reviews so far! I appreciated it :3 I'm glad that you guys are enjoying so far.
Next chapter Cas and Dean will have a moment alone together ;) Though you Destiel fan don't get too excited. It's just going to be talking. Dean already knows he wants Cas (lust wise not emotional, yet) . But Cas doesn't understand how he feels, so it's going to be a little awkward with the two at first.
