Hi!

Thanks so much for reading...reviewing...fave-ing...alerting so far...it all means such a lot to me!

I hope you enjoy this chapter...I rather liked writing this one! :D

Enjoy!

Onwards...

'Cas, Gabriel!'

'Don't shout at me!'

Dear God. Dean put his head in his hand and moaned. This was it. The day he had been dreading.

Castiel had turned into a teenager.

It had been a long time coming, but now, the smallish angel was well and truly hormonally unbalanced. The oldest Winchester watched as he walked slowly down the stairs, his head bowed, not making eye contact. Cas's black hair was everywhere, as though it had been gelled in place, his dark jeans were skinny around his legs and he wore a red shirt. He looked like a teenage rockstar.

'Hey, sport' Dean reached out to clap him friendlily on the back, but Castiel pulled away.

'Don't call me sport' he said lowly, before sauntering out the front door. Dean turned around when he heard laughing from at the top of the stairs.

Gabriel bounded down the stairs, the 17 or 18 year old grinning broadly. 'Come on, Deano! You gotta do better than that!'

Dean merely scoffed and watched the older angel follow his brother out the door, the two heading towards town. Where had his sweet, blue eyed little boy gone? The tearful angel who wanted to snuggle in bed with him when it got too dark at night?

Dean sighed and followed them out the door

-x-

'Dude, I don't need a babysitter!'

Dean gave Castiel a look. 'I know, I'm just getting some engine oil for Sam...he's helping Bobby out in the yard'

Cas sighed and carried on walking, giving his brother an impatient look. Dean followed on behind the two siblings, walking along in silence for a few minutes. Then he spoke again.

'So, where you headed?'

'Away from you.'

'Come on, Cas! What have I ever done to you?' Dean really couldn't see where the angel was coming from...what he had done to mortally offend this teenage/angel hybrid.

'Nothing!' Castiel sounded exasperated, but he turned around and smiled at Dean anyway.

Okay, thought Dean. Making progress.

They walked along in a companionable silence until they reached town, the trio stopping at a small crossroads.

Gabriel laughed when his brother turned around and gave Dean another look. 'Garage is that way' the angel pointed down the road. 'See you later.'

Dean suppressed a grin, looking at Gabriel, who was also having problems stopping himself laughing.

'Ok...' he trailed off when he saw two girls walk towards them. Well, sashaying towards them being a better description, their long tanned legs displayed in teeny tinny hot pants.

Dean looked at Cas, who had blushed a violent shade of red. 'Ah, I see...'

'You can go now...' Cas smiled weakly at the smiley girls, who flashed their white teeth in the young angel's direction.

'No, no' Dean moved out the way of Castiel's pushing arms and put his arm around him. He smiled at the two girls, hearing Cas groan next to him.

Putting on his best 'player' smile, Dean grinned.

'Ladies...'

-x-

'That was the worst half hour of my life!'

'I wouldn't call it that bad! You got her number!'

Castiel looked angrily at his surrogate father, Dean grinning at him broadly. 'You ruined my entire life!'

Gabriel smiled at his little brother, putting his arm around him. 'Don't worry about...didn't you hear when she called Dean a 'creepy old man'?

Castiel brightened up. 'She did?'

'Yeah she did' Dean moaned lowly. He hoped he wasn't losing his touch. He looked at his watch, rubbing the back of his neck.

Castiel was still glaring at him. 'Thanks a lot.'

'You're very welcome!' said Dean brightly, not caring in the least that the angel was angry with him...he had enough practice with a moody Sam.

'Hometime!' he called cheerily, whistling as he set off down the road.

Gabriel and Castiel stared after him. After a few seconds, Dean turned around, looking at the two stock-still angels.

'Coming?' he shouted.

'Dude, how old are we?' Cas sighed, walking after him in a huff, Gabriel following on with a grin on his face. As much as he loved his little brother, it was a little funny seeing Dean wind him up. Kinda reminded him of himself.

'Young enough for me to still tell you what to do!'

'Whatever.' Castiel brushed past him, pushing up the hood of his jacket as he did so.

Dean sighed and pushed it back down with his hand. 'No hoods.'

'God.'

Dean looked at him, unnerved by what the formerly pious angel had just said.

'No blaspheming either!'

'Whatever.'

Dean couldn't help but smile, and he cuffed Cas gently on the back of the head. 'You're not all bad, are you?' he smiled.

'Not really' admitted Castiel, grinning bashfully up at him.

Gabriel came up on Dean's other side and grinned at the pair.

'Group hug!' he cried, bundling his little brother into his arms, grinning as Castiel immediately began to back away.

'In your dreams, Gabe.' He said lowly, reverting back into being the moody teenager. He sloped off down the road, not looking back.

Dean turned to look at Gabriel, eyebrows raised.

'What?' the oldest angel looked affronted.

'Thanks for that.' Dean sighed, a grin spreading across his face as he turned around to look at the quickly retreating young angel.

He heard Gabriel come up beside him, but seconds later, the air was deathly still. Turning around in alarm, Dean did a full 360 before turning back to look at Castiel. And there was Gabriel, cheerily waving from the point he had just mojo-ed to.

Dean groaned, setting off after the laughing siblings.

'Damn angels.'

-x-

'You two had fun?'

Gabriel laughed at his brothers expression and also at Sam's face back at him. The youngest Winchester looked between the glaring young angel and his older sibling, completely confused.

'I guess that's a no?'

'Big no' Gabriel told him, passing his brother a bottle of blackcurrant juice. The young angel hadn't managed to shake off the taste of that stuff.

'Why?' asked Sam wearily, not sure he wanted to know why.

'Cos Dean ruined it!' Cas looked darkly at Dean, who held his hands up in the air.

'I didn't do anything!' he proclaimed, looking at his brother. 'I swear.'

'He did!' Cas pointed. 'We were going to town to meet some girls...'

Sam could already see where this was going.

'...and he started flirting with them and stuff. Then he got their numbers and told me that they had given them to me!'

Sam gave Dean his infamous bitch face. He turned back to the angry young angel and smiled.

'If you think that's bad.' He said lowly. 'When I was fifteen, Dean was nineteen and he made out with my maths teacher.'

Castiel's eyes widened. 'No'

Sam nodded. 'Yep. He also stole my prom date and was caught making out behind the bike sheds more times than I've had hot dinners.'

'Sammy...' Dean tried to stop the tirade, but his brother was on a roll.

'Then he nearly got into a fight because the principle caught him kissing his wife.'

Castiel looked at Dean, shocked enough to smile broadly at him.

Dean groaned, sitting back in his chair.

It was gonna be a long night.

I hope you enjoyed that chapter...I thought it was something Dean would do...and I thought Sam ought to be the one to give him his comeuppance : )

Thanks for reading, please review!

Next chapter up soon!
