Chapter 10 – Nervousness
*A few days after the break*
I walked down the hall and I saw Castiel. Immediately my heart started beating louder and louder.
I was starting to smile when I saw that Benny was standing close next to Cas. And then I froze for a few seconds.
It isn't funny. Both of them know it hurts to see the one you love with someone else, especially after having them say they love the one you love… Cas is a little awkward around me, so he probably doesn't know… But Benny I know for sure that he knows.
I walked closer to them, with a smile, trying to shrug the jealousy off. But I still wondered why they were talking alone.
"Cas." I called, expecting a kiss.
But of course, Cas had to grab Benny's shirt and hide behind him.
It hurt. It hurt to see Castiel hiding from me behind my best friend.
"He-Hello Dean." Even with him being all awkward, it was kind of cute, he had his face all red and he started to peak from behind Benny.
I started seeing locks of dark hair, and I smiled. Castiel was so much like a little kitten.
"Cas… You know, I think you have us mixed up… Why are you with Benny?" I tried not to sound jealous… And I think I did pretty good. "You wanna come and eat lunch together?"
"NO WAY!" Castiel said… It felt like he had just stabbed me with a knife.
"Wha…?"
"It's… I mean… I can't because I'm so nervous, because I love you! I can't think about food at a time like this!" Castiel explained quickly.
My heart started to swell… Cas was so adorable. I understand what he's saying… but he's so, so, so cute! So adorable!
I looked up a bit, and saw Benny smiling.
Why is he smiling? God! I have such a creepy best friend! He's enjoying the situation to no end! It's not like his eyes are looking at me like he's itching to break my nose… It's more like he's looking at some idiot that he's superior to… Ah! Damnit! I can't believe that I, of all people would be jerked around like this! And that grin in his face… Damnit, Benny! Just cut it out!
"You're such a kid, Castiel… Oh well… Whatever… Have lunch with me. Why don't I give you some advices for your future with him? And maybe I'll tell some of his dark secrets!" Benny was doing this on purpose! He knows that saying stuff like that to Cas is going to make me super jealous.
"Now wait!... Come on.." I tried to get Cas to stay with me, instead of going with Benny.
I saw Cas turn around and he looked into my eyes.
I tried to reach for his hand, but Benny grabbed his shoulder and took him away from me. They walked down the hallway, and I just stood there, blank… Trying to think… But I could only be in my 'jealous girlfriend mode'.
*Not Dean's point of view*
'Wasn't this… a bit too much? We both feel the same about each other… Even if I do get nervous –which I do– in front of him, I don't believe I'd actually do that.. What a really bad way to act… Even though I didn't mean to…'
"And just what the hell is that thing in your lunchbox?" Benny asked calmly.
Castiel looked at Benny.
"I tried to cook." He said quietly. "It was supposed to be scrambled eggs… but I think I burned them…"
While eating his own food, Benny started talking again. And Castiel's stare moved back to his own food.
"I'm having fun, while watching this… But isn't it kinda bad? One can't help but pursue something that goes away… But if it goes away too far, one stops caring."
Suddenly realizing Benny was right, Castiel stared again at Benny.
"Giving me that look won't do you any good…" Benny pointed.
Castiel got up and started walking out of the cafeteria.
"You're right… I'll go and apologize to him now!"
Castiel started running, as fast as he could, to look for Dean.
He found him walking alone in a hallway that was as empty as any other – one does not simply wander around at lunch time! – and he got closer to Dean, as soon as he could.
"Dean…" He said, panting slightly. "…About what happened back then…"
Castiel was trying to apologize when Dean interrupted him.
"Let's go on a date." Dean said quietly.
Not sure he heard right, Castiel stared at Dean, a bit confused.
"Eh?"
"Let's go on a date." Dean repeated, this time with more confidence. "…Today, after school… Go on a date with me."
'A date?'
"Alright… I'll go on a date with you." Castiel replied softly, nuzzling his nose in Dean's neck, while pulling the older boy into a hug.
The day passed slowly and Castiel wanted nothing more than to just grab Dean and lead them away from school and just go on a date.
But he didn't have the courage to skip school… His mother would be angry at him, and he could live without that. So he, patiently, waited for all of his classes to end.
Dean and Castiel met in front of the school building and walked together towards the mass of people that was trying to get out of school and into the train station. It seemed like rush hour.
Since, Sam has extra practice at the team, Dean and Cas would be going by train, so that Dean would get back to his car later, when he needed to catch Sam.
'So many people…'
The gates of the school were full of people and Castiel started feeling a bit not too well… He had never dealt with so many people at once, so he felt a bit dislocated and off his element. People around him were pushing Castiel.
Dean started walking a bit faster, and Castiel noticed.
'He's walking so fast… Could it be… That he's angry at… What happened this afternoon?'
A few steps ahead, Dean was thinking too.
'I am being so mean to him… Cas seems to be in shock about this afternoon more than I thought… I wonder what he'll do… If I were to just let him get separated from me… Will he feel relieved he was able to relax?'
Castiel saw Dean's shirt walking away from him, and a few seconds later, he couldn't see Dean anywhere.
Dean noticed Cas wasn't on his side, and he started wondering…
'Castiel… Where is he? Did we really just got separated? What will he do? Even if I hold on to you…'
Dean saw Castiel's face change its expression and he saw Castiel was about to cry.
"Cas.."
'That expression in your face makes me want to apologize… What is it about it… That makes me not apologize? I don't want to apologize about kissing you that first time… I just wanted you to look at me… I just wanted you to look for me… I just wanted you to follow me… I wanted you to find me… And then fall in love with me… And including myself in those feelings… I know I would do something a little cowardly again…'
On the other side of the crowd, Castiel had been pushed aside, he was out of everyone's way, and was trying to find Dean, but so far… No such luck.
'I managed to get separated from him! What do I do?! Oh! This is such a disaster!'
"Oh! That's right! I'll just phone him!" Castiel said out loud, while reaching his pocket to get his cell-phone out.
Castiel was about to dial Dean's number when wild thoughts started running in his mind.
'What do I do if he's tired of me?! What if he just wants to get rid of me?! Maybe he just left me here because he's sick of me!...'
Castiel's thoughts were interrupted when someone bumped into him, and knocked him down.
"Excuse me.." The other person said no more and walked away.
"Kyah…"
People around Castiel started laughing, as the boy tried to get up.
"Oh! He fell down!" One girl near him said, chuckling.
"Poor thing.." Others said, but no-one tried to help him.
That is… Until a hand was offered to help Castiel get up.
"I've never assumed that you might fall down." Dean's voice whispered in Castiel's ear.
"De-Dean!"
