Silent Angel:

Emotions:

(Hey guys. I hope your enjoying the story so far. If this high-school AU does well then I might write another one, let me know what you think about that. Also I was thinking about giving Sam a boyfriend or girlfriend in one of the next few chapters. Let me know who you think his boyfriend or girlfriend should be. Thanks for your support so far. I love you all.)

"Cas, you getting ready for school?" Micheal asked from his littlest brothers doorway. "Castiel, come on. You can't just sit around here all day, I have work" Micheal sat on the end of Castiel's bed. "This is about Dean isn't it? Is it the kiss? Your afraid to face him aren't you? From what I saw he was kissing you back, but if you really want to miss the school trip, I'll call in and tell them your sick. But I do have to go to work." Castiel nodded as his brother left the room.

It's not that Castiel didn't want to see Dean because he did but after yesterday, he didn't think he could face him. What if Dean didn't feel the same? Castiel couldn't face the rejection.

"Castiel" Anna shouted, "Dean's on the phone. He wants to know if you want a lift today?"

"Anna, Castiel isn't going to school today" Micheal shouted at her.

"Ok, sorry" Anna replied, "what am I meant to say to Dean?"

"Tell him, Castiel isn't feeling well" Gabriel suggested.

"You could always tell him, Casey's dead" Lucifer added.

"Lucifer!" Micheal rolled his eyes.

"Never mind I got it" Anna told him, putting the phone back to her ear, "Castiel isn't feeling well. So, he won't be coming in today...I understand that its a field trip but if he isn't felling well then he won't be going...Ok. Bye."

"What did he say?" Micheal asked her pulling on his coat ready for work.

"He told me to let Cas know that he hopes he gets better soon and to tell him that he needs to talk to him" Anna replied.

"That can't be good" Gabriel muttered.

"Why not?" Anna asked picking up her collage bag.

"Because, if it was all ok then he would have said he wanted to talk to Castiel but because he said I need to talk to Cas, it sparks up a few warning signs" Gabriel turned to Micheal, "did everything seem alright when you dropped Dean off home yesterday?"

Noticing Micheal change in expression everyone jumped on him,
"What"

"They didn't argue did they?"

"Did they have a fight?"

"Are they going out?"

"Which one of them made the first move?"

"Did Dean hit him?"

"Everyone just shut up!" Micheal shouted, his eyes flicking to Castiel's bedroom, noticing he was still in bed he turned back to his siblings. "Castiel kissed him"

"No way"

"Yeah. It looked like Dean was kissing him back but something in Castiel changed last night. Something I've never seen in him before."

"What was it?" Uriel asked.

"Castiel was confused. Something he'd never been before. It was like he was scared and happy all at the same time."

"Love?" Lucifer asked, "it's just a word. It don't mean anything"

"Maybe it does to Cas" Anna shrugged. "I think it's a good thing. Cas needs some one."

"Yeah, well. We all got other places to be so, let's go there. Its clear Castiel wants to be alone so, lets let him be" Micheal walked back into Cas's room. "Don't forget to do your morning chores. Oh, and eat something! I'll see you when I get back."

Finally Castiel was there alone. He rolled out his bed and walked into the kitchen. The house was so spotless all the time anyway, where was the point in doing his chores? They didn't even need doing. Everything was already clean. Castiel made himself some toast, did the washing up, put everything away, did some dusting and polishing then he just collapsed on the couch and let out a sigh. What was he gonna do? He couldn't hide from Dean forever. They had lessons together and he would have to go back to class at some point. What could he do? He was too afraid of what he didn't know to even talk about it (if he could actually talk).

It had been many minutes and Castiel was still on the couch. Staring at the ceiling. Trying to work how to handle Dean situation. Dean was his friend, so surely even if he didn't feel the same was they could still be friends, right? Castiel wasn't even sure if he was feeling anything or if he was just acting on some hormone that most teenagers got at his age. He was so confused he felt like screaming. He was trying to hold it in as much as he could, it was still rather early and he didn't want to wake anyone in the neighborhood up. Then the door bell rang and he did scream. His peaceful thoughts interrupted by the bell. When it rang again he got up to answer it.

"Cas" came Deans voice. Castiel froze. Standing by the door still not having opened it, he wasn't even sure he should. "Open the door! I heared you scream is everything ok?" Well Dean knew he was there now anyway, might as well let him in. Castiel opened the door and walked back over to the couch. Dean closed the door behind him, "you alright?" he asked again. Castiel didn't answer, "what's the matter? Something has to be wrong, Micheal kept you off school for Christ sake. Remember the other day, when I told you that you can tell me anything, if your hurt or somethings wrong, you can tell me no matter what?" Castiel nodded, "then why don't you at least give me a hint as to what is it that's bothering you? I'll always listen to you man, even when you have nothing to say!" Dean put a hand on Castiel's shoulder, "you can tell me."

Castiel let out another sigh and hung his head.

"What is it?" Dean asked lifting Castiel's head up. "You can tell me." Castiel pulled away and lent against the back of the couch. Still in his pajamas.

"Nice pajama's" Dean mentioned, hoping that changing the subject would cheer Castiel up. Castiel just nodded, "come on, Cas. Don't be like that, man. This would be easier if you could talk!" Castiel just throw him a look that was a cross between hurt and apologetic. Dean was right, if Castiel could talk this would be easier.

"I didn't mean if like that" Dean quickly said, "Cas, i'm sorry. Listen, if you ever want me to listen even if you have nothing to say, all you have to do is find me. No matter where I am, what I'm doing. I will always be here for you."

Castiel didn't reply, he didn't even move. He just looked at the ceiling. Castiel didn't want to talk anymore. He just wanted to enjoy the silence. He wanted to know the Dean would enjoy his company even if there was no talking at all.

"Cas, I wanna talk to you about something" Dean said. Here it comes, the talk about how Dean didn't feel for Castiel that way and how it made it him feel uncomfortable and how they would have to take a break from each other, blah, blah, blah. "You know last night. When we kissed." That made Castiel look at him. He said, when we kissed instead of when you kissed me, meaning Micheal was right, Dean did kiss him back. "Cas, it was obvious that you were confused and scared. Like you didn't know what was going on and I want to explain what was going on. You were clearly knew to that sort of emotion and I just want to clear that up for you. If you're okay with that, are you?" Castiel nodded, he wanted to know what Dean had to say on the subject.

"Ok. Well when two people get close they get comfortable and kissing is a way that people show each other how much they care and appercaite their compassion or enjoy their company and that's what you were doing. Since I know that you are knew to emotions and reactions like that, I think it's only fair for you to be confused and I want you to know that I'm not mad at you, I don't want to break the friendship over something like that. I mean, it's good that your getting used to emotions. I want you to know that I enjoyed it, I enjoy being around you and I love your company and I like being with you and if you wanted to know more about emotions I am more than happy to help just tap me on the shoulder and I'm there." Dean smiled at Castiel who was now ready to throw his arms around him and never let go.
