Okay I KNOW I said hot steamy sex this chapter, but this is just not going to let me go till it's finished. And Dean and Cas hadn't had enough of a fight (Dean's words not mine) So don't kill me please *Dodges all flying objects)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own stubborn Dean of pig headed Cas.
Castiel inhaled sharply. He knew now, Dean knew, and there was nothing he could do about it. Except pretend it didn't mean as much as it really did. Maybe he could make Dean think it was just something he had no control of. Dean could give a retort in his usual sarcastic matter, then they could put it behind them. Or maybe they could just what the Winchesters did best…Ignore it.
Castiel had no such luck.
Dean was completely blindsided by the revelation that Cas desired him that way. An angel of the Lord totally wanted in his pants. Dean smirked smugly to himself. But under the waves of smugness there was an underlying current of self-loathing and a true wonder that a being so pure and inherently innocent would even conceive to put himself in the same class as himself. The one, the only, the completely broken, brash smart ass Dean Winchester.
"Cas," Dean started in, "Do you really find me attractive?" Dean said studying the angel almost as intently as Cas usually looks at him.
The angel rubs his neck and replies "its not-"
"If you say of import, that time you beat me up in that alley when I was going to say yes to Michael is going to look like a frigging trip to Disney Land. Comprende?" Dean said getting into Castiel's personal space to thrust a finger into his chest.
Cas just nods his acquiescence to the hunter.
"Okay then." Dean said now having no idea what to do or say next. He hadn't thought that far, but he did know that the thought of Cas just shrugging off whatever his feeling obviously were angered him to the point the wanted to punch the sharp rock wall behind the angel.
Dean doubled over in sharp pain. He could tell it was a hunger pain. The first of many. He could starve to death down here, and never again see the light of day. The hunter shuddered at the thought.
"Dean" Cas said softly looking at him for the first time since his awkward admission. "It will not come to that I assure you."
"Sure." Dean said flippantly over his shoulder when he had recovered enough to stand sort of upright. "I can just be like Lenore and her brood, and eat a cow or something, except, Oh wait someone zapped up to the center of the frigging earth!"
"You are being melodramatic Dean." Castiel answered calmly. "I was prepared for you to be hungry. A plan is already in place…if it came to…that."
"Oh really? You said it yourself brainiac, we are deep underground." Dean turned to the angel yelling "There are no people here Cas! So tell me then huh, what's the ingenious plan you have?"
Castiel looked at Dean and just with his stare stilled the hunter. Dean knew that stare. I was the angel's "I am going to do something stupid and no one can stop me" stare.
"I am." Cas said flatly.
"Come again?" Dean said holding his hand to his ear. Surely he couldn't have heard that correctly. "I must have heard you wrong, I thought you said you were the plan."
"That is because I did." Castiel answered truthfully.
"So not happening Cas." Dean said confronting the angel. T
"And what will you do Dean?" Castiel said stepping into the hunter's personal space. "Do you see any other option. Maybe a busty blonde will come strolling through before the hunger pains consume you completely. Oh…Right there is no one coming. There is only me. I don't see another alternative, so I suggest you do as I say." Most of the time Castiel seem like a socially rejected castoff, but every once in a while, like now his power rolled off of him in waves.
It usually involves him being pissed at me. Dean mused. Oh yeah angel boys got it bad.
"So you're saying I should just take a bite out of you?" Dean asked incredulously.
"Yes Dean that is exactly what I am saying." Cas said levelly.
Dean's brain calculated at lightning speed. He could feed off of Cas. It probably wouldn't hurt him, but he had no idea what it would do to the angel in front of him.
"Are you going to be okay." Dean asked wincing at how girly he sounded. "I mean I'm not going to hurt you am I?"
Castiel scoffed again. "I doubt there is much you can do to actually hurt me Dean, but if you mean when you feed, I don't believe so."
"What the hell do you mean, "You don't believe so"? Dean asked his ire rising yet again.
"There has never been such an…incident. So there is no precedence for this case." Castiel explained.
"Ugh now you sound like Sam and all his fancy law crap." Dean said trying to hold back his temper. "So you have NO idea what will happen right?"
"Essentially no." Cas admitted.
"Huh." Dean said "Thanks for the thought, but the answers still no."
"Dean you are being difficult. There is only a small chance it will affect me, an even lesser chance I will die." Castiel assured him.
"Whoa. Whoa! Who the hell said anything about dying!" Dean screamed his temper getting the best of him. "I thought maybe it would turn you, or put you out of commission for a few hours maybe a day, but you dying for me again. Not. Going. To. Happen."
"Well obviously we are at a stalemate Dean. You do not wish for me to die, and I refuse to let you die." The angel said.
"Good. Great, then we can just agree to disagree." Dean said with a smirk.
"I will do no such thing. I will agree to hold out and not give you my blood…until you ask for it." Castiel bartered.
"I will die before I take your blood, knowing it might hurt you Cas." Dean said through gritted teeth. "I am not going to be the reason you sacrifice yourself again."
"You say that now Dean, but we both understand the nature of a vampire, eventually the sent and the call of the blood will be too much for you. You will give in Dean. We both know you will. It is only a matter of time." Castiel said leaning back almost looking smug.
"You masochistic son of a bitch!" Dean exclaimed. "How many times Cas huh? Tell me how many fucking times you are going to do something stupid just to ensure my safety. When are you gonna get it past your thick halo I am not worth this! No one is, and especially not me!"
Castiel's eyes sparked alive with anger the seemed almost alight with flames as he stalked towards the hunter. "When will you understand Dean that there is NOTHING I will not do for you. I would have thought you had learned that when I rebelled, or maybe when I killed my brother's for you. There is no length I won't go to please you or keep you safe. So if this is the way we go about it then that is exactly what I intend to do."
"So what?" Dean said toe to toe with the angel. "We just sit down and see who is more stubborn?"
"If that's how you feel it need to be then by all means." Castiel said a hint of malice in his voice. "But I assure you….I am going to win."
"Are you kidding me?" Dean said smiling wide before leaning back on the wall opposite. "I am Dean fucking Winchester, the most headstrong son of a bitch on the planet."
"That is true Dean." Castiel said settling back against his side of the cavern. "That is till I arrived on Earth."
"So now we just wait?" Dean asked raising an eyebrow. His jade eyes boring a hole into the angel's cerulean ones.
"I guess we do." Cas agreed.
I can not imagine there being any reason to not have the smut chapter next, but like most stories this thing has a mind of it's own.
