The next day everyone was up and enjoying a big breakfast that Markona had made with the help of Kentin and Iris. Eggs, french toast, and bacon. With drink choices of milk, orange juice, and grape juice. Everyone seemed to be pretty energetic but the group was missing a certain blond-haired young man.
"Cas, can you go wake him up?" Rosalya asked as she poured her juice.
"Why should I wake him?" Castiel asked her.
"Because you're the only one who's finished their meal." Rosalya said with a smirk. She had her suspicions about his feelings towards Nathaniel and he knew how clever she was.
"Fine. Whatever." Castiel said and headed out. He could faintly hear her calling a 'thank you' to him as he headed up the stairs.
Though I could always wake him with a kiss if I wanted. Castiel thought but shook it off. He just headed towards Nathaniel's bedroom door and knocked on it.
"Yo Nath! Get up!" Castiel called into the room. He waited a few minutes but heard no sound at all. He tried to open the door but it was locked. He glowered at the doorknob now. He hadn't expected Nathaniel to take him seriously. "Nath get your ass outta bed!"
He heard some movement from the other side of the door. Soon enough he could hear the click of the door being unlocked. It opened to show a very pissed looking Nathaniel.
"I'm trying to sleep." Nathaniel grumbled.
"I'm trying to keep you from starving." Castiel said, ever-cocky grin in place.
"I'll eat something later." Nathaniel replied with a yawn.
"I doubt there will be any leftovers. Come on." Castiel said and reached a hand out to him, trying to grab for his wrist.
Nathaniel smirked and caught Castiel's wrist, pulling him into the room and shutting the door. He had Castiel's back against his chest, arm that reached for him now pinned behind his back, and the rest of him pinned to the door.
"The hell are you doing?" Castiel questioned, a hint of bitterness in his voice.
Nathaniel just scoffed at him and bit down lightly on Castiel's shoulder, causing a gasp to escape his lips. Nathaniel ran his free hand over Castiel's neck lightly.
"Nath, what are you doing?" Castiel whispered, not wanting to admit how good this felt right now.
Nathaniel suckled on Castiel's shoulder where he'd bitten him, making sure it would leave a hickey. He then trailed his way up Castiel's neck and whispered into his ear, "Payback."
Castiel's eyes widened at that word. He wasn't sure if he should be pissed or excited about this turn of events. All he knew was he needed out of there if he was going to retain any restraint he had towards this idiot. He elbowed Nathaniel with his free arm, causing him to be released in the process, and turned to face him. Nathaniel had stumbled back and fallen onto the bed. Castiel gulped when he saw that. Not to mention he could now see Nathaniel was wearing only his boxers.
"What was that for?" Nathaniel questioned as he held his stomach. "That hurt."
Castiel's expression turned annoyed real fast at that. "The hell you think it was for you idiot!" He hissed at him, hoping to some great power above that no one walked in here. Not after Nathaniel decided to rile him up.
Nathaniel blinked a moment and looked up at Castiel. He seemed genuinely confused by the situation he was in.
"You just bit me." Castiel snapped at him.
Nathaniel sighed and got up. He went over to the dresser and pulled out a pair of jeans, slipping them on as he started to understand what happened. "To be completely honest, I don't know what you're talking about."
"You're kidding me right?" Castiel asked him.
"Afraid not." Nathaniel said, a sheepish grin on his face. "I've had a tendency to sleep-walk for the past month. I usually lock my door at night because of that. So I only remember getting elbowed and knocked on my ass for something I may or may not have done."
Castiel locked the door and walked over to Nathaniel now. He pulled down his shirt sleeve and had Nathaniel look at his shoulder. "So you don't remember doing that to me?"
Nathaniel's cheeks turned a hint red but he shook his head. "N-not really."
Castiel stared at him, suspicion in his eyes. "But it reminds you of something."
Nathaniel looked away now. He went to grab a shirt from the dresser but Castiel stopped him. Placing a hand on either side of Nathaniel, making him stuck between the dresser and Castiel. Nathaniel gulped at that. The hickey was reminiscent of something alright.
"Did I...say anything?" he asked quietly.
"One word." Castiel told him. "Payback."
Nathaniel's blush reached the tips of his ears now as he stared down at the dresser. He made me feel all those things last night...and I acted on them in my dreams. I didn't expect myself to act on them when I sleep-walk.
"What does that mean?" Castiel asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice still. Both from letting himself get riled up so easily and from Nathaniel not remembering anything.
"It was something in my dream." Nathaniel whispered. "That's all you need to know."
"You giving me a hickey was too?" Castiel asked him.
Nathaniel couldn't deny it but he didn't want to admit anything either. He didn't exactly know what he felt towards his friend. He just knew that for some reason what Castiel had done to him the night before...it got him heated up and he wanted to pay Castiel back for that. So his dream took on a scene of it's own and made him damn near dominate Castiel.
Castiel chuckled and ran a hand down Nathaniel's bare back. "Your silence speaks volumes." He could feel Nathaniel's muscles tense and relax under his touch. He wanted to do more but he restrained himself. "Throw on a shirt. They want you to eat something before we all head out for the boardwalk."
"Right." Nathaniel said but then looked over to Castiel.
"Don't worry. I'll cover your love bite." Castiel teased, a playful smile crossing his lips as he fixed his shirt and jacket.
Nathaniel nodded and grabbed a shirt, slipping it on. He put his jacket over it and headed downstairs not long after Castiel.
