Castiel's face fell, he knew why the police had been there. One of the ladies from the office noticed them and hurried out, "Hey! You're Castiel Novak, right?" Cas nodded, "Yes," he was obviously shy and kind of scared. She looked at Dean, "You two need to come into the office." Dean looked annoyed at the lady, he never needed to do anything. "C'mon, man, let's get this over with," Dean sighed as they walked into the office. The police officers turned, "Are you Castiel Novak?," officer Scott asked. The kid just nodded, not making eye contact, the other police officer, Officer Campbell, looked over at Dean, "What're you doing in here, Dean?" Dean shrugged, "Cas was with me, she said I had to come in here." It wasn't like he would let his new friend face this alone, though. "Where were your whereabouts last night, kid?," Officer Scott asked. "I-I," Cas's words seemed to fail him. "What part of 'he was with me' does no one understand?," Dean said. Cas just nodded in agreement to what Dean has said. "We went back to the house with Sam and watched movies, we accidentally fell asleep," the Winchester explained to them. Campbell just nodded, "I believe you, but his parents put out a missing child's report out on him this morning. We'll notify them he's been found, but you gotta go home after school, okay kid?" Cas just nodded, "Yes I-I will," he said quietly. "Hey, it ain't no big deal, man, it's okay," Dean said to him as they walked out of the office.
"I am going to be dead," Castiel said, flatly and without tone to his voice. "It'll be fine, man," Dean tried to reassure him, "I'll take you home after school and explain it to them, okay?" Cas shook his head, "It will not matter, they don't care." Dean sighed, he would still try, though.
The two walked to class and the day pretty much went by in a fast blurr. One minute they had just arrived, the next the last bell of the day rang and it was time for them to go home. Cas met the elder Winchester outside by the trees and they walked over to the car in silence. Thankfully, today they had been pretty much the first ones out and made it to the car with no problem. They waited there for a bit before Sam had text him, finally.
[text to: Dee] I'm going to stay after until 3:30 or 4, I have to make up a test. Sorry
[text to: Sammy] It's okay, I have to run Cas home anyways, he's sorta in trouble. See ya later, call me when you're done
He put his phone in his pocket and started the car, "Well, Sam's gotta stay, so we'll just take you home." Cas just nodded, not saying anything, he looked emotionless. Dean didn't push him to speak or anything as they started the silent drive to his house. Time seemed to pass slowly, and Cas grew more nervous as they approached his street. Dean reached over and put his hand on his shoulder, "Hey, it'll be okay. It's not the end of the world." Cas looked over at him, "It seems like my world is coming to an end." They arrived at his house and Dean parked, turning the car off. Cas slowly got out of the car and grabbed his book bag, Dean got out and walked around to the other side of the car and walked with Cas up to the porch.
They were met by someone opening the door, a shorter man with light brown hair and mischievous honey coloured eyes met them at the door. "Hey, kiddo," he grinned. Castiel froze as he furrowed his eyebrows, "Gabriel..." Behind him, a man with black hair and blue eyes stepped out as they shut the door behind them. "Michael? What is it a family reunion?," Cas frowned. "Castiel. What do you think you're doing? You can't just r-," Michael was cut off by Gabriel, "Hey! Cool it, it was an accident, didn't you hear the cop?" Michael shrugged, "So, he needs to think about his actions before they end up kicking him out or sending him away." Gabriel rolled his eyes, "That would never happen, he knows how to get ahold of us." Dean stood there, awkwardly. Castiel turned to him, "Dean, these are two of my brothers...Gabriel and Michael." The two of them turned to Dean, Gabriel smiled and Michael was just serious. "Well, Dean-o, you the one our little brother accidentally stayed with? Well, I can see why," he smirked. Cas looked embarassed and shook his head, "Stop it!" Dean shrugged, "Oh yeah, you know it," he winked, sarcastically. Cas looked horrified at the situation and tried to shrink down, even Michael grinned at the whole thing, and he hardly ever smiled a bit. "Come on, let's go face the music, Cas," Gabriel told him putting his arm around his little brother's shoulder. "Thank you for bringing him home, Dean," Michael said. Cas smiled at Dean, giving a silent thanks as they went into the house and Dean walked back to the car.
He wasn't sure what he should think of his brothers, he could only imagine his parents. Dean got into the car and started off towards his house, he wanted to grab something to eat before picking Sam up later, plus he still had time. Dean chewed on his lip, thinking about how he woke up this morning. The way the Winchester slept, he wasn't the cuddely type, in fact he normally woke up if someone was right there. But, he actually ended up sleeping on Castiel. He sighed and turned up his radio and, which seemed to be the story of his life. sung along to Until it Sleeps by Metallica. Soon enough, he was pulling back into his garage. Walking up the stairs, he made his way to his room and noticed Cas had forgotten his clothes. Dean sat down on his bed, the shirt still smelled like him. The Winchester laid back and put the shirt up on his pillow and just thought about everything. Soon enough, he was lulled to a peacful, dreamless sleep.
