Chapter 4 – They're together?!
"Why… you ask. I told you already! It's because I like you, Cas!"
Balthazar looked away.
"It all started when I got to the States, everything was new, and I missed my friends from back home. All I wanted to do was to tell my mom to send me back there. I was getting really depressed with it… Every day, when I was going to the soccer practice I would see you wondering to the library, and while I was at practice, I could see you by the window."
I would see you there every day, and wonder what you did in there.
"Why do you go to the library so much?" I asked.
Castiel looked at me and I saw his head tilt a bit, in confusion. He always did this when he didn't understand the question. Even at class, he used to do it.
"What I do… there?" He asked me.
His voice was soft and cute.
"Yeah…"
"Well, I go there to read books!" Castiel ended up telling me.
I was about to leave when Castiel grabbed my arm. He turned me around, so he could face me.
"Oh! And you know what? I like the way you play soccer! Sometimes I watch your practice… You look so awesome!"
I blushed at that. I always saw the boy there, but I never thought that he could see me too…
We went our separate ways, but we started to interact more and more.
"Ever since that day…" Balthazar stopped for a few seconds and got up, as if he had found some courage to do what he wanted to. He grabbed Castiel's fist and pulled him to himself and hugged him. "Ever since that day, I've loved you Cas… Cassie, I really do love you! But… when I found that note, I-I was jealous…" he started to stutter a bit. "… J-Just to think that the boy I like… sweet little Cassie… had been kissed… By someone other than me… I really hated that, so I lied about it."
Castiel could understand him. If it were him, he would feel the same, he wouldn't do the same, but he would feel sick if someone he liked got a note about having kissed another person. Some words filled his mind… "I want to make out with you too!" just like that he felt sick. Just like Balthazar had described. Those words were directed at Dean… But he couldn't be in love with Dean, right?! He barely knew the guy! Tears started gathering in his eyes.
The dark haired boy pushed away from Balthazar's embrace.
"No!"
Castiel didn't have another reply besides that, so he felt relieved when Gabriel walked back to them.
"Hey guys! Bet you don't know who I just found!" Gabriel said smiling.
Before he could turn to see who Gabriel had found, Castiel found his eyes covered with someone's hands.
"Eh?!" Was all the boy could say.
Balthazar started protesting.
"What…"
A voice that Castiel knew all too well started speaking.
"You look cute even when you're about to cry… So I can't let anyone except me see it."
'Dean! What's he doing here?!'
Dean released Cas who spun to face him.
"Hi there!" Dean beamed to Castiel, with a huge smile in his face. "Cas!"
Gabriel took this chance to resume talking.
"This is what I was talking about! I was about to buy some more cotton candy, and some lollipops when I saw these guys!"
Balthazar glared at him. But Gabriel wasn't paying attention.
"Sammy! Do you want a lollipop?" Gabriel offered.
Sam smiled. Every time he saw Gabriel he was always eating candy. But this was a first, he had never been offered some before.
"I'd like that, please." He asked.
That seemed to please Gabriel, who handed him the one he had in his mouth.
"Do you want this one?" He asked Sam with a wink.
"Hm.. I-I…" Sam started blushing.
"I'm joking!" He told Sam. "Unless you want mine, then I'm not joking."
Some more winks were shared.
Sam ended up taking one lollipop that hadn't been eaten.
"I feel like no one saw me!" It was then that Castiel and Balthazar noticed that Benny was with Dean and Sam.
"Hi, Benny." Castiel told him. "I didn't think you liked amusement parks! What are you guys doing here?"
Benny shrugged.
"I just came along with these two."
Balthazar glared at Sam.
"Why are you here?"
"Oh uh… I hmm... I kinda got kidnapped by Dean… who also kinda kidnaped Benny." Sam told him.
Benny looked at Castiel's blue eyes.
"I wouldn't have come if it weren't for you."
'What the…'
"Cas…" Dean started speaking, while getting his face closer to Castiel's ear, almost breathing in his neck. "Play with me."
'What should I do?!'
The dark haired boy grabbed the younger boy and his friend and ran away.
"Let's go!"
With Sam by one side, and Gabriel in the other, he started running.
'There must be something wrong with me!'
"CAS!"He heardDean yell, but Castiel was too stressed to stop and go back.
'Just by looking at Dean's face… Just by hearing his voice… I get all worked up, and then I blush… My body starts to tremble.'
"Castiel!" A voice woke him up from his thoughts.
Castiel looked at the younger boy.
"Where do you want to go?" Sam asked him.
"Let's go to the Ferris Wheel!" Castiel answered, with hope in his voice.
Gabriel agreed.
The three of them got in one carriage.
Castiel sat on one side, and Sam and Gabriel on the other.
"Hey… Can I ask you something?"
Castiel looked to Sam and nodded.
"Are you going out with my brother?" Sam asked quietly.
Castiel was taken by surprise with this question.
"Wha-What?"
"Are you going out with my brother?" This time, the question was more steady.
Castiel blushed. The red in his cheeks was really bright.
"Then… Are you going out with Balthazar?" Gabriel asked.
"N-No!" Castiel answered.
The other boys looked at each other confused.
"No?" Gabriel asked.
"It's not like that… I'm not going out with anyone!"
"I thought you were on a date with Balthy." Gabriel was confused… Sam appeared to be as well.
Sam took that chance to ask a big question.
"Then… Who do you like?"
Gabriel sounded as interested in the matter as Sam.
Castiel was not prepared for that question. He dug his nails into his palms to keep his emotions in check.
'Who… Who do I like?'
"Sorry for pulling you both along with me…" Castiel tried to change the subject. "You're so cute, and I thought that we don't talk enough… at least, not just the three of us!"
Gabriel sounded amused. Sam was a bit shocked.
"Cute?"
"Yeah… You look like a moose… And I like animals a lot…" Castiel smiled at him.
Gabriel laughed.
"I told! You look like a moose! But don't worry… you look like a very manly-moose."
"…But also because you've always been so good to me!" Castiel added.
"I know… I'm too good… But I can also be naughty." He sent a mischievous grin at Castiel.
Castiel blushed.
Sam laughed at his reaction.
"But don't worry… I already have a person to be naughty with." He said, smiling at Gabriel.
Castiel had seen Gabriel at soccer practice a lot, but he always thought the golden haired boy was there to support his new brother… But apparently he was wrong.
"So… The two of you… Are together?" Castiel ended up asking.
Sam and Gabriel shared a look. Sam blushed and Gabriel smiled.
Gabriel leaned closer to Sam's mouth and pressed Sam's lips with his own.
A few seconds later, Gabriel backed away from Sam.
"Does that answer your question?" Gabriel asked.
Castiel nodded. He had never imagined, little Sammy with someone like Gabriel. But he couldn't say he didn't think they were cute, after watching their interaction, they seemed to care about each other and so Castiel smiled.
"Can I ask you one question now?" Castiel asked.
Sam looked at him.
"Shoot."
Before speaking, Castiel took a deep breath.
"Did you kiss me?"
"Why would you think that?" Sam looked confused.
Castiel blushed and told him about that day at the library.
"So… You don't know who kissed you?" Gabriel asked.
Castiel nodded.
"At first I thought it was Benny. But it turned out he was just playing with me… Then, I thought it was Balthazar, because I got a card that said I should meet the writer at the station, but turns out, he just saw someone put the note in my locker, and he said he didn't kiss me… So, now… I asked you, and you say you didn't…" Castiel summed up, all he had gathered 'till now.
"I didn't." Sam confirmed, with Gabriel taking his hand with a proud smile.
Gabriel looked at Castiel.
"Then, there's just one person left."
And with that the doors of the carriage opened. Dean got inside, and kicked his brother and Gabriel out.
"You can go home with them, I'm going to play with Cas." Dean told Sam before closing the doors.
Gabriel and Sam looked at each other a bit confused but wandered to another attraction together, leaving Castiel alone at the carriage with Dean.
The younger boy swallowed when Dean sat down next to him.
"Let's take one more ride!" Dean said with a smile and a wink to Castiel.
The black haired boy was nervous, and again he blushed.
Dean's hand grabbed Castiel's and he squeezed it.
"You like high places?" Dean asked Cas, getting closer to Castiel.
"Yes." Cas answered. "I feel like I'm flying! I love it!"
Dean smiled at Castiel's response.
"Glad someone likes it, then." Dean said quietly.
Cas glanced up to see Dean's eyes wondering around the carriage. Cas blinked a bit, why was Dean so nervous?
"Are you alright?" He ended up asking.
Dean hesitated before speaking
"Yeah… Just don't like to be so high."
'Every time I try to take a deep breathe I just can't… Why can't I? And why is my heart pounding so loudly right now?!'
Dean got closer to Castiel. He looked like he was uncomfortable so up above the surface. His hand squeezed the other boy's one.
'Why is my heart beating even louder?'
So many times this could have happened, but still, only now Castiel's heart was beating so fast… It didn't happen when Crowley and the other boy were messing with him, not when Balthazar tried to hug Castiel, only when Dean's hands touched him…
His cheeks were still bright red.
"I know a way I can make this better." Dean said, getting up.
Castiel watched him, as he approached him. Although, he was not prepared nor he had a hint of what Dean was about to do.
"Wha-What are you doing?" Cas asked as Dean sat in his lap.
Dean grinned at Castiel. He got himself comfortable in Castiel's lap.
"I'm making this better. If I sit here I'm not stressing about how high up we are. You're my escape."
Castiel's heart skipped a bit. 'You're my escape.' Those words made him feel special, he could felt part of something… Something so important that could make Dean feel better…
"You're welcome… I guess." Castiel replied him. His face still bright red.
With their fingers still intertwined in the other made Dean smile.
'My heart is pounding so loudly… I bet he can hear it too… Just the two of us… Alone… In a position like this… I'm trembling… Why am I trembling? Even though it's just a Ferris Wheel we're ridding, I feel like I'm in the Rollercoaster all over again. My heart is shaking… It's going faster… Faster… Faster… How much longer do we have to be alone, like this? I'm riding a Rollercoaster… Or was it a Ferris Wheel? I don't know anymore!'
Castiel looked flustered, with is face so red, and his eyes locked with Dean's. He looked like he was lost in thought.
Dean started getting closer.
"Cas…"
His face was going closer and closer until there were just a few inches between them.
'But there is one thing I still know… I'm in love with Dean.'
