Chapter 5
Dean stares at the clock in anticipation. It seemed like the hands on the clock were moving ungodly slow and that one o'clock was never going to get here. Everything seemed to be fixing itself as Dean worked absentmindedly on cars for the day. All his nerves were standing on end as his mind went through the many possibilities of how this lunch could go and the more Dean thought about it, the more like a date it seemed. In all honesty, Dean was really nervous.
This was his first time ever going out with a guy and he wasn't sure how to act. With women it was easy, just throw out some stupid jokes here and there, turn up the charm, offer to pay for everything, basically be the perfect gentlemen and bam, you have yourself a women just dying to get you in her bed. It wasn't going to be the same with Cas though and Dean surprisingly found himself actually wanting to go slow with Cas even though they technically weren't even dating or anything.
Dean chuckles to himself as he realizes just how different this all was and quite frankly it scared the shit out of him. He wasn't used to this different. It had always just been Sam and him, moving around and taking care of each other. Sure Dean would fool around with chicks now and then but he never once thought about anything long term except briefly with Lisa.
Shakily, Dean climbs out from under the car he had previously been working on and was now finished with. Glancing up at the clock once again, Dean felt his breathe catch a little in excitement when he see's it's only ten minutes till one and there were no other costumers around except the ones picking up cars. Making his way into the office, Dean sees Ash sitting there finishing up some paper work for a costumer.
"Hey Ash, do you think it would be okay if I left a few minutes early? I've finished all the cars we had in for the day." Dean asks Ash, leaning lazily against the counter trying to seem chill and cool about it and control the nervous excitement building in the pit of his stomach.
"Yeah man, that's fine. I can take care of the rest of this on my own. Go out and find yourself some hot chick to fool around with or something," says Ash smilingly like a dork at Dean and winking at him causing Dean to flush as he thinks about Cas.
"Thanks so much! I will see you on Monday!" With that Dean bolts out of the shop and to his car jumping in and tearing out of the parking.
Shaking his head at the young man's eagerness, Ash chuckles as he watches Dean bolt out in a rush obviously excited to get somewhere. His head had been up in the clouds ever since he came back from his break earlier and honestly, Ash was worried the boy would end up hurting himself with how air headed he was acting today. "Must be young love," Ash thinks to himself shaking his head and smiling remembering when he was 21 like Dean.
Dean drove home as fast he could, deciding that he really needed a shower before meeting up with Cas. Quick like a bunny, Dean runs inside and takes a record fast shower. While towel drying his hair, Dean digs through his boxes of clothing trying to decide what the hell to wear. He finally settles on a pair of dark faded blue jeans, and a tight white tank top that he knew would show off his muscles perfectly. It was only the beginning of September in Iowa, so the weather was still fairly warm during the day.
Once satisfied with how he looked, Dean left his apartment and hopped back into the Impala and starts heading back towards Castiel's house.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O
Once Dean left, Castiel wasn't sure what to do with the couple hours he had till Dean showed back up again. Deciding his time would best be spent grading some essays, Cas fixes himself a cup of coffee and settles down at his kitchen table, papers spread out around him.
Eventually Castiel is completely absorbed in his work. He always found grading papers relatively relaxing because even though some of the kids sucked at English, the grading gave his always wondering mind something to focus on.
A sharp rap at the door startles Castiel out of his zone. Jumping up quickly, causing his chair to fall over, Cas looks at the clock afraid one o-clock had snuck up on him without him even realizing. His shoulders sagged when he realized It was only a few minutes till twelve.
Curiously, he makes his way to the front door and opens it only to suddenly be engulfed by a pair of arms being thrown around his shoulders.
"Cassie! Bro! How have you been? You've been working for me for like two weeks now and not once have you even come by to say hi. I must say little bro, I almost feel insulted. After all I am the one who hooked you up with this job." Castiel just stands there gapping at his older brother Gabriel, as he makes his usual grand entrance.
Closing the door softly behind his over eccentric and always on a sugar rush brother, Cas follows Gabriel as he makes his way around Castiel's apartment.
"It's nice to see you too Gab. I am very sorry I haven't stopped by, it is just a lot to get used to and I didn't want to bother you." Castiel says, following his brother as he plops down on Cas's couch like he lives here.
'Ah, that is quite all right Cassie," says Gab causing Cas to grimace at his brother's annoying nick name for him. Castiel watches as Gabriel pulls a lollipop out of his pocket and pops right into his mouth. His brother always had a sweet tooth. You almost never found the man without something sweet, whether it be chocolate, lollipops, or some other atrociously sweet candy. It didn't matter either that Gab was almost 30, he still acted like a five year old around candy.
"So to what do I owe this surprise visit?" Castiel asks, sitting in the love seat across from Gab.
"I just wanted to check up on my little bro, and make sure he was doing alright. Is there something wrong with that?" asks Gab looking at his Castiel with puppy dog eyes.
Sighing Castiel shakes his head knowing there is way more behind this visit then just to check up in him. Gab always seemed to be trying to hook Castiel up with some guy. He knew Gab was just trying to help him out but Castiel just didn't need or want his brother's help. Beside now he had Dean to look forward to anyway.
"Of course not Gab, I was only wondering." Castiel leans back against his chair and waits for the question's he know are coming. Sure enough a couple seconds later, Gabriel sits up on the couch and leans forward towards Cas.
"So, Cas, found any hot guy to fuck yet?" Gabriel asks raising a eyebrow at Cas.
Cas blushes at his brother's blunt words but shakes his head no anyway, trying not to think of Dean. "Seriously Gabriel, mind your own damn business. My sex life is not for you to know about." Cas shoots Gab the evil eye but he just shrugs his shoulders.
"I am sorry Cassie, I just worry about you. Ever since dad died you've always been so closed off and alone. I just want you to find someone that will make you happy and not such a loner." Gab smiles warmly at Cas, but there is obvious pain behind his voice as he brings their dad up. That was definitely not a subject Cas wanted to broach right now, or ever again for that matter. Instead he quickly changes to the one thing on his mind.
"Alright, alright, if you must know I actually have a kind of date at one." Castiel tells his brother blushing brightly at the huge smile that lights up his brother's face.
"Seriously! Oh my god who! Tell me everything?" Gabriel exclaims at Cas acting like a teenage girl.
Rolling his eyes at his obnoxious older brother, Cas explains how he went to the car shop this morning and met this guy named Dean who ended up having to drive him home and invited Cas out to lunch with him at one. He didn't know why, but Cas decided it would be best to leave out how Dean and him actually first met and how Dean was the guardian of one of his students. Technically they weren't doing anything illegal since Cas was 25 and Dean was 21 but he still just felt weird mentioning it all.
After Castiel is done telling his brother about his sorta date, Gabriel is practically in Cas's lap, shaking with excitement for his brother.
"Okay, okay, I am going to wait right here till you get back and then you're going to tell me everything!" Gabriel leans in so his face is close to Cas, golden eyes starring into blue, "Every last detail. You got me bro."
Castiel leans away from Gab, trying to avoid getting poked in the face with the end of his lollipop.
"Seriously Gab! No! I love you, but not that much." Castile shoves Gabriel away and stands up straightening his clothes back out. Glancing at the clock he notices it's almost one. "And now you are going to leave because I do not want you here when he comes," Castiel says trying to usher his brother out of his apartment. Gabriel looks almost hurt and Cas feels bad for being so mean to Gabriel who's just trying to be a good brother. Rolling his eyes Cas pats Gab on the shoulder giving him an awkward one arm hug, "I promise I will call you tonight and tell you all about it. Alright?" This seems to satisfy Gab and he nods his head and heads for the door.
"Go get'em Cassie," Gab says closing the door with a wink.
Sighing, Cas collapses on the couch feeling exhausted, which is what usually happens when he has a conversation with Gab.
Wearily he makes his way to the bathroom and splashes some cold water on his face, sufficiently waking himself back up again. After spraying a little bit of cologne on, Castiel goes back into the living room and sits down with a book. It takes about ten minutes before he finally gives up after rereading the same paragraph twenty times. There was just no way he could concentrate on reading when he was so anxious about the lunch.
A knock at the door shakes Castiel out of his thoughts and he glances at the clock to see its already ten minutes past one. He's body tenses up and he feels himself start to sweat a little. Why was he getting nervous now when he had been so brave this morning! Nervously Cas makes his way to his door. He runs a hand through his hair trying to tame it down a little but he knows it's useless. Opening the door slowly, Cas peers around and almost dies when he sees Dean standing there in a tight white tank top and jeans that show off his ass so nicely.
Dean showed up at Cas's house and made his way to the front door. After knocking, he stands there fidgeting for a little bit till the door opens and he's greeted with a pair of blue eyes peering around the door at him. His heart stutters a little. Geezes his eyes are so amazing dammit.
"Uh.. Hey Cas," Dean says trying to hide how nervous he is, "You ready?"
Cas nods and smiles shyly walking out the door. Dean stands there and waits as Cas locks the door and then he leads Cas out to his car.
Swallowing and taking a deep breathe, Cas follows Dean out to his car, loving the view of his nice ass he was getting back here from it. He wasn't sure where Dean was going to take him but he honestly didn't care as he wasn't exactly a picky eater. Although to be honest he hoped it was somewhere with burgers because oh god he loved burgers.
After climbing into the car Dean glances over at Cas,"So where would you like to go to eat? I'm pretty new around here so I don't know of any place good other then that diner I saw you at the other night."
Cas smiles a little at the memory. He had felt someone watching him while he ate and he looked up to find his green eyes stranger standing across the room from him. Shaking his head, he steps out of the memory and looks over at a waiting Dean. "Same here, I haven't been around too long either. Why don't we just drive around till we see something that looks nice?" Cas suggests smiling.
Dean nods and smiles back starting the car up and pulling out if the parking lot. They sit in an awkward silence for a little bit before Dean finally can't take it anymore, "So Cas what brought you to Ackley, Iowa?"
Cas is startled by Dean's sudden question having been in his own little world for a bit, "Well uh, I just finished college and needed a job. My brother was just given the principle position at the high school and so was able to convince then to hire me as the English teacher."
"Oh wow that's cool, so your brother and you are pretty close then? Is he your only family?"
Cas's chest clenches up at the question of his family, he had really hoped Dean wouldn't broach the topic of his family but he knew it had been a pointless dream.
"Um.. Well yea, I guess we are relatively close. I also have an older brother by the name of Michael and and older sister by the name of Anna. Age wise it goes Michael, Gabriel, Anna, and then me."
Dean nods his head as he fully listens to Cas, "Wow, so you have a pretty big family then?"
Cas just nods his head, "So tell me about your family, what's Sam and yours story?" Cas asks looking curiously at Dean.
Knuckles turn white as Dean grips the steering wheel. His family wasn't something he wanted to talk about either. Swallowing, Dean is able to choke out a couple words about Sammy, "It's just Sam and I. Basically always has been. He's a smart kid and I would do anything for him." Dean says in a clipped voice, hoping Cas will drop the subject.
Getting the hint he changes the subject a little bit, "So Dean why are you in Iowa?"
Breathing deeply, he relaxes his hold on the steering wheel, glad of the change of subject, "Ive been looking for a more permanent job and saw that the garage needed a permanent man and that they paid well, so I jumped right on." Cas nods his head in understanding.
The car falls back into silence again as both men try to figure out what to say to the other.
They drive for a bit in this new awkward silence before Dean finally spots a little restaurant at the corner of a street. It looks really good and like it serves great bacon burgers which is exactly what Dean needs right now.
"How does that look to you?" Dean asks pointing the restaurant out to Cas.
Cas nods his head relieved for the break in the tension filled air.
"Looks perfect," he says smiling.
Dean quickly finds a parking spot and hopes out of the car and running around to open the door for Cas.
Cas looks up surprised at how much of a gentleman Dean was being. Smiling sweetly, he climbs out,"Thank you Dean."
"Of course," Dean says smiling back. Things start feeling a little more comfortable after that as the boys make their ways into the little restaurant.
A smiling, skinny blonde waitress meets them at the door. "Good afternoon gentleman. How can I help you today?"
"Table for two please," Dean says smiling sweetly at the waitress, turning on his charm out of habit. The waitress blushes and turns to grab two menus from the rack before asking them to follow her to the back.
She leads them to a little two person table in the back, "Here you go," she says smiling at then both, but her eyes staying on Dean longer then necessary, her eyes roaming over his body.
Jealously swells up in Cas suddenly and he feels a wave of possessiveness go over him. Without thinking about it he wraps his arm around Dean's waist startling him and the waitress. Looking at The waitress with an eye that says back the hell off, Cas pulls Dean close to his side confusing the man but he doesn't object. The waitress gets the hint and her eyes go wide as she blushes.
"Your server will be with you soon," she murmurs under her breath before scurrying off, tail between her legs.
Castile quickly let's go of Dean blushing profusely.
Dean smiles big loving how cute Cas looks when he blushes and how he acted when he saw the waitress trying to flirt with him. Taking his seat he looks over at Cas, "So what was that all about?" Dean asks causing Castiel too burn even more red.
"I...I.. I'm sorry," Cas stutters out embarrassed, "I uh.. Just didn't like the way she was looking at you."
Dean chuckles at Castiel's embarrassment finding it unbelievably adorable. Surprising himself he reaches over and takes Cas's hand in his.
"It's quite alright Cas. I enjoyed it," Dean says winking.
More blood rushes to Cas's face but he tries to push it down and instead smiles shyly at Dean, "Well I'm glad then."
Once Dean was sure Cas had relaxed again, he removed his hand and picked up his menu. Happily he notices that they serve bacon burgers and he puts his menu down already knowing exactly what he wants. Dean is surprised when he sees that Cas is ready as well.
"So what are you going to get?" He asks Cas.
"A bacon burger, how about you?" Cas says making Dean laugh.
"I'm getting the exact same," Dean says smiling and chuckling.
"Well great minds think alike I suppose," Cas says smiling back.
Soon enough their waitress arrives. She is another pretty thing, with long brunette hair and bright golden eyes. Normally Dean would have loved to have flirt with her but now he didn't feel anything, his attention focused only on Cas. However he can't help but feel himself start getting jealous when he notices the once over the waitress is giving Cas. Wow these two just couldn't get a break. Dean decides to claim now what he hopes will official be his soon anyway. Reaching over he takes Cas's hand in his and brings it to his mouth, laying soft kisses on each of his knuckles. "You can order first babe," Dean says smoothly smiling sweetly at Cas who has turned bright red again.
It takes Cas a second to gain his voice because all he can think about are Dean's lips on his knuckles and how he wonders what they would feel like on other places of his body... Shaking his head, Cas looks at the waitress, bating his eyes at her deciding to have a little fun messing with the now wide eyes waitress. "Hey, yes I would like a bacon burger with some curly fries and a large Coke." Cas smiles and looks over at Dean all doe eyed and threading his fingers through Dean's.
Dean tries so hard not to start cracking up as he sees how uncomfortable they are making the waitress. "I would like to have the same thing as my sexy date please."
Castiel turns bright red when Dean calls him sexy and he has to duck his head for a second, not being able to look into Dean's bright green eyes.
The waitress nods her head and quickly scurries off with their order.
Once she leaves both men look at each other grinning break out in laughter.
"Oh god that was hilarious," Dean says, his eyes starting to water.
"The look on her face! Man we are never going to be allowed back here agin," Cas says laughing just as hard. It takes a bit but finally the boys stop laughing and any awkwardness between them is now gone. They start asking each other questions just trying to get to know each other better. Although none of them are very personal and neither broach the topic of their family again.
Once their lunch arrives, they both dig in hungrily, chuckling once again at the nervous waitress who brought their food. "Stupid homophobes," Cas thinks to himself rolling his eyes.
Eventually they both finishes their meal and sit back rubbing their bellies with content. Suddenly Dean sits forward with excitement, "I wonder if they have pie here!" Cas chuckles learning just a few minutes ago that Dean's favorite food in the whole world was pie.
"I'm sure they do," Cas says handing Dean the desert menu.
"Sweet! I'm going to get an apple pie, do you want anything Cas?" Dean asked nicely looking over the menu at Cas.
"I'm alright, thanks though," Cas says feeling full from the giant burger.
The waitress comes back to give them their bill and Dean orders the pie to go so that Cas doesn't have to sit there and watch him eat it.
"So I figured we could go out and look at cars for a bit. See if we can't find you something. I'm guessing its gonna be pretty hard for you to get to work without one," Dean says to Cas.
"Yeah that would probably be a good idea," Says Cas agreeing.
The waitress brings Dean his pie back, not looking at either of them and then hurries and leaves again. Dean reaches for the bill meaning to pay for it but finds it already taken care of.
"Cas, no I can't let you pay for me," Dean says reaching for the bill but Cas quickly snatches it away.
"This is my way of saying thank you for helping me out with my car problems. Really Dean I don't mind," Cas says smilingly kindly at Dean who just sighs knowing this would be a pointless argument.
"Alright, thank you very much Cas," Dean says standing up.
"It's no problem Dean," Cas says leading the way out of the restaurant.
Cas's head is completely in the clouds as he walks back towards the impala. Not paying attention to where he is going, he almost steps out in front of a moving car. Suddenly he hears Dean yell his name and he finds himself wrapped up in a pair of warm arms.
"Geezes Cas watch where you're going,"Dean says holding Cas tightly to him, having pulled him out of the way of the car.
As soon as both their heart rates go down the guys realize just how close they are and how close their faces are. Cas's hands are resting on Dean's shoulders, while Dean's hands are on Cas's hips, blue eyes starring into green ones. Before either one realizes it, they are both leaning toward the other. Their lips meet in a gentle kiss that soon heats up. Cas's lips are just as Dean imagined, soft yet rough at the same time. Dean swipes his tongue across Cas's lower lip, loving the unique taste that could only be Cas. Cas wraps his arms around Dean's neck deepening the kiss. He's insides were jello as he continued to kiss Dean. He couldn't believe this was really happening and oh my god it was the best kiss Cas had ever had. Dean knew exactly what he was doing and Cas willingly opened his mouth, allowing Dean's tongue to explore his mouth.
Finally they pull apart enough to breathe but not moving out of each others arms.
"That was amazing," Dean says panting a little.
Cas jus nods his head and then reaches up pulling Dean's lips back to his. They stand there for another few minutes just exploring each others mouths till someone walks back muttering "get a room."
Dean and Cas pull apart grinning big.
"Guess we should go get that car now."
I would love for y'alls input in what car Cas should get! So please review and tell me that kind of car y'all think he should get? :3 thanks!
