Chapter 3
After school Cas went to Dean's car hoping that Dean would actually arrive on time this time. He was relieved when he saw that Dean was already leaning against the side of the car with the keys in his hand. Cas smiled as he walked over, his trench coat flapping in the wind.
"Hey." Dean said with a smile to Cas.
"Hello." Cas said curtly.
"So, you're still cool with coming over to my place to watch the Avengers? I wouldn't hold it against you if you didn't want to, especially given we literally just met earlier today."
"Yeah I'm sure." Cas said confidently.
"Alrighty then. Get in loser we're going Avengers watching!" Dean said attempting to imitate Regina from Mean Girls.
"What?" Cas asked cocking his head to the side.
"You haven't watched Mean Girls either have you?" Dean said facepalming.
"Why would I want to watch girls being mean? That doesn't sound very appealing Dean."
"No! Not literal mean girls! Mean Girls, like the movie?" Dean prompted.
Cas was still staring at him with confusion.
"You know, the one with hot girls basically being bitches."
"Why would I want to watch that Dean?"
"It's actually really good! It's the only chick flick I actually liked."
"Chick flick?"
"Just get in the car Cas." Dean said light-heartedly.
Cas followed Dean's order and got into the passenger seat of the car. Shortly after Dean, with his phone out, slipped into the driver's seat.
"What are you doing?" Cas asked watching as Dean's fingers flew across the phone's keyboard.
"I'm texting my little brother." Dean said as way of explanation.
Hey Sammy, I've got a friend coming over to watch movies, that cool with you? -Dean
Within seconds of the text being sent Sam sent Dean a response.
That's fine with me, I'll be home late anyway. Remember, I'm going to the movies with Jess today? -Sam
Almost forgot, Sammy's got his first date today! -Dean.
Shut up Dean, it's not a date. -Sam
You can't lie to me Sammy. -Dean
I'm not lying, we're just going to the movies together... AS FRIENDS! -Sam
Sure you are Sammy ;) Just remember you're both underage so don't have sex. -Dean
FOR THE LAST TIME IT'S NOT A DATE! -Sam
Sure ;) -Dean
Shut up Dean, anyway I'll be back before 7 -Sam
K see ya then Sammy. -Dean.
After Dean finished texting Sam he looked up to see Cas playing flappy bird on his phone. Dean looked over Cas's shoulder at the screen, not in a stalkerish way, he just wanted to see how good at flappy bird Cas was.
Somehow Cas had done remarkably well in controlling the mini personification of satan. Somehow Cas had managed to get to a score of 20... something that was practically impossible in the game. Dean couldn't even score higher than 5.
"Cas.." Dean began.
"Shhhh! I'm about to beat my highscore!" Cas said.
"It's flappy bird, not life. How do you even know that game?"
"Gabe downloaded it onto my phone one day and told me to play it. Now shush!"
Cas continued tapping on the screen for a while until the bird went splat into a pipe.
"No, I was so close to beating my highscore!" Cas said with a groan.
"What is your highscore?" Dean asked curiously.
"30." Cas responded bluntly.
"30? I can't even pass 5!" Dean exclaimed. "Anyway... flappy bird aside, should we get going now?"
"Sure." Cas said with a shrug.
Dean started up the car and turned on the radio which blasted out highway to hell by AC/DC. Dean began bobbing his head along with the music as he drove. Cas was staring inquisitively at the car stereo.
"Something wrong Cas?" Dean asked noticing Cas's staring at the stereo.
"The music, what is it?" Cas asked still staring at the stereo.
"It's highway to hell by AC/DC. Don't tell me you haven't heard of AC/DC!" Dean exclaimed.
"I won't tell you but that won't make it any less true." Cas said.
"Seriously? You haven't heard of AC/DC? What about Metallica?"
"Metal-car?" Cas asked completely mispronouncing the band's name.
"No, Metallica!"
"No..."
"Avenged Sevenfold?"
"No."
"Asia?"
"The continent?"
"No the band."
"Then no."
"Elvis?"
"Yeah, I know Elvis."
"Can you dig Elvis?"
"What?"
"Nevermind."
"Okay..."
Sensing awkwardness Dean turned the music up. They both sat in a comfortable silence, neither knowing what to say to the other. After 10 minutes of driving they arrived at where Dean was living, which was a motel. Cas stared at the property in wonder.
"You live in a motel?" He asked.
"Yeah, my dad's a marine so we move around a lot." Dean said as form of explanation. It was the explanation he'd gotten used to using, after all who would believe him if he said that his dad hunted the supernatural.
"Oh..." Cas said trailing off awkwardly.
"Well, shall we go in?" Dean asked expectantly as he got out of the car.
"Yeah." Cas said, also getting out of the car.
Dean laughed slightly and locked the car once Cas was out.
"Well then allons-y!" Dean said gesturing for Cas to follow him as he approached the motel room they were staying in.
"I didn't know you knew French..." Cas said looking at Dean as they walked.
"I don't." Dean said laughing.
"But-" Cas began only to be cut off by Dean.
"I learnt allons-y from Doctor Who..."
"Oh, that's the show with the pepper shakers of doom isn't it? What are those called again...Daleks?"
"Yes actually... I'm surprised you know Doctor Who given how ignorant you are about other parts of pop culture." Dean said looking at Cas in surprise. "Wait did you just call the daleks pepper shakers of doom?"
"That's not what they are?"
"Let's just go and watch The Avengers." Dean said dodging the question. He unlocked the door to the motel and they walked inside.
Cas was surprised by the state of the motel, it was a mess and very dusty. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. Dust littered the shelves and windowsills and the room had that musty feel to it. Cas was surprised that Dean could stand to live in the conditions, as well as how the motel operators had let the room fall into such a condition.
"Cas, please stop judging the room and just sit down so we can watch The Avengers." Dean said with a laugh.
"How did you know I was-"
"You weren't exactly being subtle about it."
"Oh."
Dean sat down on the couch and gestured for Cas to join him. Cas awkwardly walked over and sat next to Dean. Dean clicked on the TV and searched through the DVR for the Avengers movie. Eventually he found it and selected it. Within minutes the sounds of The Avengers movie were playing.
They watched the movie in relative silence, apart from a few comments from Cas about slight errors or things in the film that didn't make sense. Things like how the Hulk could suddenly control his anger, and how they were all talking to each other without any form of communication.
Dean had to admit he found the inputs annoying but at the same time he was amused by them. Cas seemed to be one of those people who picked up on inaccuracies in movies and outright questioned them instead of just rolling with it.
After they finished watching The Avengers Dean clicked off the TV.
"This has been fun, we should do this again sometime." Dean said with a smile.
"Yes we should. Wait.. are you kicking me out?"
"No! I was just saying that we should do the whole movie watching thing again. How about next time I show you Mean Girls?"
"Okay?"
"Cool."
The descended into an awkward silence, neither of them knowing how to continue the conversation.
"Hey, won't your brother be worried about where you are?" Dean asked suddenly breaking the silence.
"Probably not, besides he won't care."
"Oh..."
"What about your brother, where's he?" Cas asked casually.
"Sammy's out with a friend..."
Dean rambled on about how he thought Sam's friend was actually a girlfriend but Cas wasn't hearing any of it. His head had begun to hurt when Dean called his brother Sammy. Suddenly without warning a flash of white light brought him from reality with Dean into something that seemed far from reality. It resembled what had happened when he'd had the flash of white light at school when he saw the mental image of Dean except this time it wasn't just of Dean.
Cas saw the image of a boy with reasonably long brown hair, who despite being shorter than Dean was towering over him. Dean was on the ground, his clothes bloodstained despite there being no visible injuries on him. The boy towering over him clothes were clean and absent of any blood stains.
Dean was staring up at the boy with pleading eyes. "Come on Sam, I know you're in there." Dean said as he stood up.
Despite being taller than the boy who Cas now knew was Sam, Sam still seemed imposing and in the position of power.
"Sorry Sam's not home right now, please leave a message after the beep." Sam said smiling smugly.
Almost as soon as he'd seen the scene it was gone. He was brought back to reality. He looked around himself, double checking where he was. His eyes fell on Dean who'd by this point stopped talking and had his eyes firmly fixed on Cas. Dean's eyes clearly conveyed concern.
"Cas are you okay?" Dean asked, worry etched into his voice.
Cas wanted to say yes, because he was fine right? But he knew if he did say yes then he'd be in a situation where he'd have to explain it all. All of his thoughts were reliving the event that he had just seen.
"No, I'm feeling a bit sick." Cas said telling a slight lie. His head was still hurting and his mind was still reeling.
"Oh, do you want me to get you anything?" Dean asked awkwardly.
"No, I'll be fine. I think I'll just go home now, if that's okay?"
"Oh yeah, that's fine. Do you need a lift?"
"I think I'll be alright walking, maybe the fresh air will help." Cas said getting up.
"Okay yeah, but let me give you my number before you leave. That way if you do need a lift or anything I can give you one." Dean said awkwardly.
"I'm sure Gabe could give me a lift if I needed one."
"Just let me give you my number Cas!" Dean exclaimed slightly over dramatically.
"Alright." Cas said as he passed his phone over to Dean.
Dean quickly typed his number into Cas's phone and handed it back to him. Dean offered him a smile, which Cas returned. Cas walked over to the door and smiled back at Dean.
"Goodbye Dean, I'll see you tomorrow." Cas said.
"Yeah, see you then. Don't hesitate to call me though if you end up needing a lift!" Dean said.
"I won't. Goodbye Dean." Cas said smiling as he walked out of the door, pulling it shut.
