Dean's breathing cooled and slowed down and he lifted his head to look at Castiel who smiled softly at him.
"We better get dressed and fast!" Dean whispered kissing him gently and rolling over him to the car floor pulling on his clothing. Castiel watched him admiring his backside till Dean turned feeling his eyes on him and shook his head.
"Now very naughty of you, Mr Milton"
"I was just admiring the view, Mr Winchester" he whispered pulling his pants towards him and slipping them on. Dean grinned stretching out and pulling on his coat waiting for Castiel who dressed quickly and looked at him.
"Come on" Dean whispered grabbing his hand and tugging him out. In the storage two crewmen were searching for them using flashlights. Dean hid them behind a car watching as they pointed at the car they were presently in and opened it up suddenly and dramatically.
"Dean" Castiel hissed at him tugging on his hand.
"Come on" Dean whispered back to him leading the way as they took the other exit running through the corridor and up a bunch of stairs. They burst out onto the deck and Dean laughed throwing his head back.
"I haven't done that before" Dean said looking at Castiel amused who stepped towards him.
"When we dock in New York tomorrow, I'm getting off with you"
"What?"
"You, Dean, I'm leaving this ship with you"
Dean laughed amazed pressing his hand to his neck. "This is insane!"
"I know, but who likes normal?" Castiel said laughing breathlessly. Dean moved forward kissing him hard on the mouth and feeling him cling to him and kiss passionately back.
Unknown to them as they kissed and became lost in their own world the steerage were currently trying to turn the ship from an iceberg the captain had decided to ignore the first place. The first mate could only watch as the ship struck the iceberg creating a shudder every single person would feel.
Castiel broke apart from Dean as they stared at the floor creaking and trembling underneath their feet.
"What…" Castiel whispered and they both turned to see the passing iceberg as the ship passed alongside it.
"Whoa, watch out!" Dean said dragging Castiel away as ice slid of the iceberg hitting the deck with a deafening smack cracking the wood and causing alarm all around. Castiel exhaled shocked and they walked over to the rail peering over to see the iceberg.
"Dean, did we just…did we hit that?" Castiel said breathlessly looking over to Dean who swallowed hard.
"I don't know"
"I have to inform Gabriel and Rachel" Castiel said moving away and looking at Dean who followed him as they walked up the stairs.
Upstairs in the room, Sam looked over to Gabriel who frowned confused.
"Was it just me or did the whole room just shake?"
"Yeah, yeah it did" Sam said nodding and glancing over to him. "I better find Dean"
Gabriel watched as he climbed out pulling on his shirt and looking over to him.
"Will I see you later?"
"Yes, now get your fine looking ass out of here, Sam" Gabriel said watching him smirk and leave the room. Sam looked around the empty room and crept out of the door unknowingly watched by Rachel in her room.
"The atrocity! Both brothers sleeping with men" Rachel seethed covering her eyes and looking over to Zachariah. "This cannot be allowed to happen, this marriage must go ahead! Every single person of status and money will be there for it and he will marry me"
"He's completely under the spell of the Winchester boy, madam, we will have to be ruthless" Zachariah said.
Rachel shook her curls out and stood proud and defiant in the mirror.
"The diamond, he was awful curious over something so valuable don't you think?" she said looking over her shoulder to him. "I want you to go out and greet them, whilst talking slip the diamond into his coat…Castiel has never liked thieves after the little incident with their father"
"You think he'll leave him?"
"He will have no choice, the master of arms will take him away and with whatever is going on with this ship currently I don't think it's very good for all of us" Rachel said sweeping her hands down her dress.
"He will deny it of course"
"I won't doubt he won't plead his innocence but who will believe a lowly third class" Rachel said passing the diamond to him. "Get to your job"
"Ma'am" he said with a nod walking out of her room. Rachel turned wrapping her fur shawl around her and looking into the mirror. Regaining her composure, Rachel walked out into the room looking over to Gabriel who eyed her suspiciously.
"What's going on?"
"The diamond is missing"
"What?"
Castiel touched Dean's wrist as they walked down the corridor towards the room. Dean narrowed his eyes at Zachariah who walked towards them.
"Mr Milton, Mr Winchester, we've been expecting you" he said warmly walking alongside him and slipping the diamond into his coat pocket before stepping away. Castiel walked into the room looking over to Gabriel stood near the wall looking very confused whilst Rachel moved forward.
"Did you all feel what happened? Something awful has happened…" Castiel said and trailed off when Rachel stepped forward.
"Indeed it has, the diamond is missing" Rachel said and looked up when Zachariah walked in with two crewmen and the master of arms, Samuel Colt.
"Search him!" she ordered pointing to Dean who blanched.
"What?" he said and grunted when the men took hold of him. Castiel stepped back shocked looking to Rachel.
"Rachel, what are you doing? There is no time for this…"
"Is this it?"
Castiel stared at the blue diamond the man was holding that had come out of Dean's pocket.
"You have got to be kidding me! This is bullshit!" Dean cried looking at the diamond and Castiel. "I didn't take it!"
"Of course you didn't, that just somehow jumped out of the box, found you and jumped into that pocket"
"Which isn't even yours is it, son?" Samuel said. "This belongs to an Alexander Hope who reported this missing today also"
Dean closed his eyes in horror and shook his head. "I borrowed it! I was going to return to him, I needed to get on first deck without being sent away! Cas, please"
"Ah, the common thief as well as a seducer" she said shaking her head. "Take him away"
"No, Cas, you have to believe me!" Dean begged when they took him away. Castiel swallowed staring at the blue diamond in his hands and up to Dean.
"I left you in the room alone"
"I didn't take it, you know me! You know I wouldn't do this!" he shouted to Castiel who looked away when he was dragged out of the room kicking and shouting. Sam who was hovering around the first floor heard the commotion and fearing for Gabriel ran towards it and stopped startled.
"Dean!" he shouted heading towards him. Zachariah looked at him and nodded at the crew men who understood his silent message and grabbed Sam dragging him away.
"You take your hands off my brother, you son of a bitch!" Dean shouted looking back to see Sam being dragged away and struggled with their grip. Gabriel who was unaware of the commotion outside looked to Castiel in disbelief.
"You know he wouldn't take it"
"How would you know?"
"Because I know Sam"
"Sam is Sam, Dean is Dean, and I left him alone in this room with this diamond hid in the coat" Castiel hissed at him. "The coat which is also stolen"
Gabriel shook his head at him and moved away into his own room. Castiel looked over to Rachel who walked over to him and simply looked him in the eye.
"You had sexual intercourse with that man didn't you, Castiel?"
"I…"
Rachel slapped him full across the face causing him to reel back and gasp clutching his reddening cheek.
"You disgusting, low, shameful little man!" she hissed at him. "Spreading your legs for anyone like a common whore on the streets"
"It wasn't like that!" he protested and gasped touching his sore cheek.
A knock on the door alerted them and a crew member entered talking about warm clothing, life jackets, and keeping safe and warm. Castiel looked over to Rachel who rolled her eyes waving a dismissive hand at him.
"This is ridiculous! We were told it was a simple propeller"
"That is not quite the case, madam, now dress warmly it is quite cold" he said exiting the room. Castiel moved away from her moving to the door and knocking on Gabriel's.
"Gabriel" he called and waited till he opened the door. "We have to leave"
"Yeah" Gabriel said shutting the door and leading the way out of the door.
~0~
Dean grunted when he was shoved into the small cabin belonging to Samuel who fastened his handcuffs to the pipe and looking over to Zachariah.
"Go, I'll watch him"
Samuel nodded casting an eye over Dean before taking his leave and returning to the top deck. Zachariah smiled coldly shutting the door and looking over to Dean.
"Aw, Zach, I know you want little old me alone but you aren't my type"
"Smart words for someone as foolish and naïve as you" Zachariah said stepping closer to him. "This is from the Lady Rachel who sends her fond regards"
Dean raised an eyebrow and grunted feeling an explosion of pain in his stomach when Zachariah punched him hard in the gut. Dean breathed out struggling for breath and looked up with hate filled eyes.
"You sonofabitch" he hissed and coughed.
"Pleasure" Zachariah said pocketing the key and picking up a gun on the side rolling it in his hands. "I have been informed that this ship is sinking as we talk"
Dean swallowed looking out of the window and towards Zachariah who sat down slotting bullets into the gun and clicking it into place with a snap. Dean flinched looking away and pressing his forehead against the cold white wall.
"I also hear your little brother is currently sitting in a locked cupboard"
"What?"
"Yes, he was at the wrong place in the wrong time, Dean Winchester, and now he dies along with you" Zachariah said with a small chuckle watching him struggle and fight against his handcuffs.
"You can't do this!" he shouted.
"One more word and I silence you forever" Zachariah said pointing the gun at Dean
Castiel was stood in the grand staircase listening to Rachel complain to Ruby and looked to Gabriel who stood with a furrowed brow.
"I need to find Sam" he hissed and pinched between his eyes. Castiel swallowed wondering where they had taken Dean when he saw Mr Singer walking down the stairs looking wounded and in disbelief. Castiel moved towards him halting him on the stairs.
"Mr Singer, I would like to know the truth…I witnessed everything and I need to know if the rumours are true"
Bobby looked over the three of them before stepping down.
"The ship is going to sink"
"You're certain?"
"Without a doubt, it has an hour, two at most…I want you to all get to a lifeboat…you remember about the lifeboats, Castiel?"
Castiel nodded quickly. "There isn't enough"
"Half of the people on this ship will die and I…" Bobby trailed off shutting his eyes. "Hurry"
Castiel let him go as he walked away and turned to Gabriel.
"I need to find Sam now" he said turning on his heel and walking away.
"For that third class man? You're insane, Gabriel" Rachel called after him and scoffed holding out her hand for Castiel to take which he did. They walked to the top deck which was covered with boats, panicking people, and fireworks being lit into the sky.
"I would like woman and children only!" the man shouted as they walked over to the nearest lifeboat.
"Will we seated according to class? I don't wish to sit next to someone who doesn't even wash" she said and laughed delicately. Castiel stared at her shocked and let go of her hand staring at her.
"What was I about to marry into? You called me before a disgusting, low, and shameful man but they are nothing compared to you"
"Excuse me?"
"You are a vile woman, a woman whose head is filled with such crap I can't even condone! I will not marry you, Rachel St Clair, I would rather spread my legs like a common whore then be your husband" he said walking away from her. Rachel tugged him back furiously.
"You are nothing without me! You end this marriage and you lose everything" she shouted at him.
"Good, I'd rather lose everything and be no one then be stuck in a marriage with someone as vile as you" he said wrenching his arm away and running down the deck. Rachel breathed heavily seeing people watching her and swallow hard looking at the boat and stepping on. Rachel felt tears prick her eyes staring at the engagement ring and took it off throwing it into the water down below without a care for the expense.
Castiel ran into the grand staircase looking around frantically searching for Dean, Gabriel roamed down the corridors calling out Sam's name, Sam banged frantically against the cupboard door calling out for Dean, Gabriel, and anyone to help him, and Dean struggled against the cuffs surrounding his wrists when he heard a trickle of water and looked over the door to see water flooding in through the vents.
Zachariah had left long ago leaving him to his death with a parting wink. Dean gasped straining against the metal and looking at the water gushing in.
"Shit!" he shouted kicking at the wall. "Somebody help me! Hello! Help me please!"
Castiel ran down the corridor shoving people out of the way and gasped in relief when he saw Bobby handing out life jackets to different people.
"Bobby!" he shouted running towards him.
"Castiel? What are you doing here? You have to get to a boat!" he shouted at him shocked.
"No! I have to find Dean! Where would the master of arms take someone placed under arrest?"
"To his office"
"Where is it?"
"E deck, the crew passage"
"Thank you, thank you!" he cried running away from him and towards the stairs again down towards the lifts were the man was refusing to take people down.
"The lifts are closed!"
"I need to go to E deck"
"As I have told the woman here, sir, I cannot possibly take you down because the lifts are closed" he said looking at Castiel who nodded pressing his lips together.
"You listen to me" Castiel hissed shoving him and against the wall. "I am through with you kind of people, I am sick of being polite, and I sick of listening to this bullshit now you take me down!"
The man stared at him alarmed and nodded scrambling towards the lever whilst Castiel slammed the gates closed. Castiel stepped back watching the different levels pass till they reached the bottom and E deck, freezing cold water gushed in startling the both of them as they cried out. Castiel inhaled harshly at the freezing water touching his legs.
"We have to go back up! We'll die"
"No" Castiel said stubbornly shoving him away and ripping the gates open wading his way through the water. The lift went back up and he looked back watching it disappear along with the man's whimpers. Castiel swallowed moving through the water and shivering feeling the numbness already and looked up at the crew passage and headed towards it looking up and down the doors dotted around.
"Fuck" he whispered. "Dean!"
Dean who was balancing on the desk barely able to withstand his weight turned hearing his name echoing around the room, Castiel headed down one end frantically looking.
"Dean! Answer me!" he shouted down the corridor.
"Cas!" Dean shouted in relief.
"Dean?"
"In here, Cas, I'm in here!" he shouted towards the door kicking his feet against the wood and banging his hands together. Castiel waded through the water throwing open the door and gasping in relief.
"I found you, I found you" Castiel chanted walking over to him and kissing him fiercely. Dean smiled pulling away and staring at him in relief.
"Zach put it in my coat, Cas, I would never steal from you"
"I know I'm so sorry for doubting you" Castiel cried clinging to him and pressing his forehead against his. Dean smiled kissing his nose and pulling back.
"You have to find a key, Cas, or get some help because I'm not going anywhere any time soon" Dean said clanging his hands against the metal. "I saw Zach pocket the key and I don't think there is going to be a spare…"
"Get help"
"Yeah"
Castiel struggled and nodded kissing him desperately. "I'll be right back! I promise"
"I know" he murmured watching him leave and staring around the room.
Gabriel ran down the corridor searching around for Sam. "Sam? Where are you?"
Sam banged against the door and slumped against it feeling tired and shut his eyes for a moment before feeling something wet and cold drip on the floor and stepped back seeing water starting to flood in.
"Oh my god" he whispered in horror and grabbed the towels throwing them on the floor against the vent seeing them soak and closed his eye in horror hearing every creak and groan of the sinking ship. "Help me!"
The ship was sinking underneath them every passing moment and as two brothers fought desperately to save the other two brothers waiting and praying for survival that was slipping minute by minute.
A/N: Thank you for the response! I enjoy writing this.
Also, I have took down Twinkle, Twinkle for any who are wondering where it has gone. The reason I have is because of some errors and I don't think I am skilled enough. Every writer has their doubts and this is mine. I want to finish this first and then maybe re-do it or start a brand new story. I thank you for all your commitment and encouragement towards everything I have written. It's all appreciated.
