So, Dean's parents like Cas. But Cas's parents don't like Dean. What would happen if they ever meet?
Castiel was afraid of that day.
"Whats on you mind?" Dean asked squeezing Castiel around the waist with the arm Dean had wrapped around Castiel's waist.
"Nothing" Castiel smiled leaning his head on Dean's shoulder.
"Yeah right" he said laying his cheek on Castiel's head. Jack offered him the joint. "No thanks, I'm quiting." Castiel looked up at him, "what. I though you wanted me to lighten up?" Castiel smiled, it was nice that Dean would do something like that for him.
"I know, it's just. I know how hard it can be to give up an addiction" Castiel sighed.
"What?" Martin said dazed.
"He used to self harm" Dean said quietly.
"Really. My mum did too. It killed her" Rose-lee said sadly. "Then my dad killed himself because he couldn't live without here. Like Romeo and Juliet. They weren't allowed to be together so they killed themselves instead of standing up and running away." It was at this moment that Castiel knew what he had to do. He had to stand up to his parents. After all he didn't want to end up like Romeo and Juliet.
Dean had gotten Castiel a work at the shop and they were just taking a lunch break before getting back to work. Castiel was enjoying his work. He didn't get payed much but he still had his art that sold for a lot of money. He would never sell the collection of him and Dean that he was painting but the odd few would would sell for several 100 dollars. Castiel knew the stuff he was selling in the shop was stolen but he didn't care. Working there meant he got to see more of Dean and he enjoyed that. One day he had Dean come over after work he left the room just for a while to use the toilet.
"Dean" Castiel's mum said.
Dean sighed but turned to look at her anyway.
"You need to break up with Castiel now."
"Wait what?!" Dean was startled. "You wanted him to break up with me to stop me breaking his heart but now you want me to do just that?"
"He won't break up with you that is quite clear" his dad spoke up, "and you staying with him is only going to hurt him more when the relationship does crash!"
"It wont!"
"Your no good for him, I noticed blood on the sleeve of one of his shirts. He's started cutting again and I can only suspect it's your fault"
"Surley he would have told me" Dean said.
"First of all I didn't cut. I scratched my old scars. Second of all, I didn't even know I was doing it until the blood was running down my arm. Thirdly I only done it because you guys refuse to let us be together!" Castiel said from the door way.
"Castiel" his mother stood up, "How much of that did you hear?"
"Only the part where you mentioned I'd started cutting again" Castiel said, "why?"
"They asked me to break up with you" Dean said crossing the room to Castiel.
"Did they?" Castiel asked looking at them,
"Castiel, you know I'd never say -" his father began.
"No, I know Dean wouldn't lie to me. You on the other hand, it seems all you want is for me to miserable. Come Dean I'll walk you home" Castiel opening the front door. "I'm sorry, I really didn't think they'd ever ask you to do such a thing" he took Dean's hand.
"It's okay, I didn't think they'd ask you to do such a thing. I just don't understand why it's so hard for them to accept our love" Dean said as they strolled down the road.
"Me either, but they don't. Maybe they never will. I have to get out of there. I'll start saving right away. I'll get us a house. I promise" Castiel said putting a hand over the one Dean had at Cas's side. "If I lost you, I don't know what I'd do."
"I'm not going anywhere. You'll always have me Cas" Dean said kissing his cheek.
"How long should we give him to do the right thing?" Castiel's mum said to hims husband.
"Give him three weeks. Then we have to do what we have to do" her husband said, "it will be okay Elizabeth, Castiel will get over it in time. He will soon seen how bad Dean is for him."
"I hope your right."
Castiel was completely unaware of his parents conversation and they made no effort to mention it when he got back. The honestly thought he would do what they though was right...
