Last time: FUCK! He mentally screamed.
Lucky for Dean, Cas was still deeply asleep. Dean sighed and slowly pulled his arm off of Castiel. He tried to stand up, but he saw that Cas was lying down on his other arm. He groaned in his head and slowly pulled it out from under him. When Deans arm was fully out, Cas groaned and pouted in sleep, snuggling deeper into the cushions. Dean scoffed, He looks so cute when he pouts. He thought suddenly. Wait what? No. He told himself, getting off the bed slowly. He stretched and his bones cracked. A slight groan left his lips, and he looked down to see that the tent in his boxers hadn't left. He sighed and made his way out of the room to the bathroom. Thankfully he met no one on the way. He locked the bathroom door behind him and started the shower, definitely time for a cold shower. He told himself. He convinced himself it was just a case of morning wood. I haven't really gotten out much, probably why I woke up snuggling next to Cas. Yah, that's it. He told himself, nodding. He stepped under the cold water and hissed. Soon his problem was gone, and he sighed in relief. He finished his shower and went back to his room with a towel wrapped around his waist. He saw Cas lying down sideways in his bed, the pout still in place on his lips. Dean scoffed and looked through his drawers to find some clean clothes. He found a shirt that wasn't covered in supernatural goo, his favorite jeans(also clean), and a pair of boxers. He turned and made sure Cas was still asleep, and he quickly put on the boxers. The towel dropped and he got dressed, quickly. He looked once more at Cas who was still pouting and sighed. He walked over and gently laid Cas on his back, so that he wasn't in such an awkward position with his stitches. The pout almost immediately left once Dean touched him. Cas gave a slight sigh, and uttered something that sounded suspiciously like, "Dean."
Dean raised an eyebrow but he let it slide and he left the room, heading for the kitchen. He stopped when he heard humming and then a delectable smell met his nose. He closed his eyes and inhaled Food? He thought a puzzled expression on his face. He turned the corner and saw Emma standing there in an oversized t-shirt and he could barely see shorts underneath. He raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing, and where did you get the clothes?"
Emma turned around and smiled at Dean, "Oh, James took one of the cars in your enormous garage, hope you don't mind, and got our clothes from the car we left at the church. He also got some food on his way back. Your guy's cupboards are absolutely bare. Thankfully I know how to cook." She said looking back at the food.
"So what are you making?" Dean asked, sniffing the air again.
"You know the basics. Bacon, eggs, toast, and I was just starting the pancakes." She said, turning off one of the burners. As she was turning, she froze. Her eye locking on something that was not visible to Dean. Then all at once, she snapped out of her trance, and looked at Dean. "Make sure the food doesn't burn." She said, quickly heading for the door.
Dean watched her run out before turning off all the burners and running after her. He followed her to the room where Sam was and hurriedly ran in. He was shocked by what he saw, "Sammy?" He choked out.
Sam was trying to sit up, "Hey Dean." He said, his voice hoarse.
"Woah there. You need to lie down." Emma said, trying to pushing him back down.
"I don't want to be mean or anything, but who the hell are you?" Sam asked, not lying down.
"Right now, I'm your nurse and I say lie down." She said, pushing him down on the couch.
He obeyed, "How long have I been out?"
"About a day." She answered, taking his temperature with her hand. "You're burning up. I'm going to go get a cold towel." She said, getting up. Before she left she turned to Dean, "Winchester, make sure he doesn't get up." She said. Then she thought of something else, "And don't do anything stupid." She added.
Sam scoffed as she left, "Who was that?" He asked. "You didn't bring one of your one night stands to the bunker, did you?" Sam said, with a serious expression.
"No!" Dean defended. "That's Emma. She and her brother, James are staying here."
"Why?" He asked.
"They need our help." Dean answered.
"What do they want?"
"Well, they need to find an angel... The angel Gabriel." Dean said, slowly.
Something flashed in Sam's face when he mentioned Gabriel. It was so quick he couldn't quite place it, "Gabriel's dead Dean. He died trying to kill Lucifer." Sam said.
"Well, they say he didn't." Sam's face brightened a bit.
"What?"
"They say they found him after the apocalypse. Then he ran. Now they're trying to find him again. I decided to help them because I knew you would kill me if I didn't." Dean said, smiling.
"How do you know they're not lying?" Sam asked, with something akin to hope in his eyes.
"We're not lying. We have no reason to lie." Emma stated, reappearing in the room with a towel. She put it on Sam's forehead and he gave out a low hiss. "Gabriel is alive. We need to find him. So I'm asking again for Sam's sake. Will you help us find Gabriel?"
Sam paused for a moment, "Of course."
"Just stay here and don't move. I need to go finish cooking breakfast." She said, running back to the kitchen.
"I'm right behind you." Dean said, walking out. "I'll save you a plate Sammy."
"No, he is sick and I don't want him to eat just yet. I need to see if he is ok enough to eat, but for now no." Emma said, looking sternly at Sam and Dean. Sam groaned in annoyance.
"Sorry Sammy. Doctor's orders." Dean said, giving him a grin before walking down the hall.
"Jerk!" Sam screamed from the room.
"Bitch!" Dean screamed back.
Emma rolled her eyes and walked towards the kitchen. She turned on the burners again and continued to cook. Dean watched her dance around the kitchen putting food on plates and flipping pancakes. Then he suddenly asked, "How did you find out our location?"
"Hm?" She asked, turning to him.
"How did you know where we were?" Dean asked again.
"Like I said, word travels fast with you two." She answered, turning back to the stove.
"That doesn't answer my question." He said, pushing the question.
She sighed and turned back to look at him, "My brother and I were out of options. You two were the only ones who had a positive experience with angels, namely you're little boyfriend Castiel. We did what we had to do to find you guys." She explained, turning back to the now burnt pancake.
"Cas is not my boyfriend!" He said, turning red. "That still doesn't answer my question." He said, again.
"Let's just say, there are fewer demons on this Earth to worry about." Dean accepted this answer and they sat in silence. When she was finally done, Dean helped her bring the plates to the table in the library. "I'm going to go wake up Kevin. Go check on Castiel." Emma said, walking towards Kevin's room.
She barged into his room and Kevin shot up in his head, waving around a knife, "Wha? Wha happened?" He said, his eyes half-closed.
Luckily, Emma was way more skilled than Kevin. She grabbed his wrist and took the knife out of his hand, "Kevin, It's me Emma. Stop doing that, you're going to hurt yourself." Emma said, scowling at him.
He seemed to actually realize where he was and he calmed down, "Oh, hey Em." He said, falling back down on the bed.
She sat down at the edge and threw a pillow at him, "Get up." She said, sternly.
He groaned in annoyance, "This is the first sleep I have gotten in a while. Leave me alone." He said, his voice muffled by a pillow.
She threw another pillow at him, "Get up, I made breakfast." He groaned again and threw the pillow back at her. "Hey, remember you don't have the knife anymore." She said, threatening him.
"Fine." He said, sitting up again.
He looked at Emma with a scowl. "Oh, don't look at me like that. You need to eat something. You look like a damn skeleton." She said. "You should probably shave, too." She said, pointing to the fuzz on his face. The scowl didn't leave. "I made bacon." She added, a small smile on her lips.
The scowl left and he threw the blanket off of him, "Alright, so I don't hate you as much." He said, standing up and stretching. He was wearing a red shirt and shorts.
"Come on, the food's going to get cold." Emma said, getting up and walking to the door.
Meanwhile with Dean...
Dean left to his room to see if Cas was okay. He walked in and saw that Cas was still sleeping. So he hit him lightly on the arm and said, "Cas, wake up." Cas only shifted his position. "Cas." Dean said, a little louder. He groaned and tried to shift his position again but instead his face twisted in pain. "Cas! Wake up!" Dean screamed, holding his shoulders.
Cas eyes fluttered open, the pain shown before was gone. His eyebrows scrunched together in confusion, "Dean?" He asked, his voice huskier than usual. Dean fought the urge to shiver.
"Come on, Cas. Breakfast. You need to eat." He said, helping him sit up. Cas flinched but he didn't complain. "You know Cas, if something hurts you tell me, alright? You don't need to go through this pain alone. If you can't take the pain anymore, you tell me and I'll get you something. Alright, Cas?" Dean asked, helping him stand up.
"Yes, Dean. Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine." Cas said, flinching again.
"We both know that's bullshit Cas. You are not fine. I know you aren't. I'm just giving you the option of not being alone." Dean argued, leading Cas towards the library.
"Thank you, Dean." Cas said, sounding very grateful.
Hello! I know the story is a bit boring right now, but don't worry it gets better! I just want to warn you guys that uploading chapters might be a bit slow. I made the horrible decision of starting a million different stories at once, so... yah all of my free time just goes to writing these stories. Don't be mad at me for not uploading in a while, it just takes a bit of time. DON'T WORRY! I will not just stop this story(or any of my other stories), I will continue to write until I get to the end of it(if it ever ends anyway). I am not mean, and I do not just drop stories. However it might be while. So if it takes me a long time then don't think I dropped it. Keep your hopes up and wait for my inevitable upload! Anyway, Enjoy :)
