Hello my friends! Thank you so much for your patience. It has been a bit of a mess lately so writing was not as easy as I'd hoped it would be. I'm leaving for school soon and I had my wisdom teeth removed and to top it off I had some serious writer's block. BUT never fear! tonight I felt the need to type and write this story and this chapter came forth, fresh and new. It was wonderful! Hope you enjoy it!
Dean straightened the costume that he was wearing, the bat emblem on his chest shining with the new costume gleam that you could only expect from a replica of a costume. He sighed as he played with it once more before placing the helmet on his head. He had to admit that he looked pretty good in the form fitting dark suit.
"Well hello there," came a female voice at his door.
"Jo, holy cow, you look amazing!"
Joo was leaning against the door in a long red gown that fit her form. Her hair was done up in the old hollywood fashion and she had red lips.
"Well," she rolled her eyes and glanced down at herself. She smiled though, knowing that she was rocking the outfit. "Gabe is extremely persuasive."
Dean stared at her for a moment more and turned fully to view her.
"I thought you were coming as that character..what's her name," he asked.
"Katniss," she said looking at him for recognition. "The Hunger Games? Ringing any bells?"
Dean shrugged and scratched his head. "It's a weird name."
"Ya, well that was a bust," she said, coming more into the bedroom. "I saw on facebook about half-way through the week that there are going to be a half a dozen other Katniss' out there tonight."
She sat down and shifted the dress material around. Dean saw that under the dress she was wearing converse.
"So what's with the Vanna White gown?" he asked, sitting next to her.
"Very funny," she said.
"I'll buy a vowel, please," said Dean in an accent.
"Shut up," she said, giggling and slapping him playfully.
"Ow."
"Very macho batman," she said.
"Don't mock the suit," he replied getting up and referencing to himself.
"Don't mock the awesome," she said, standing up as well.
Dean laughed and he started walking to his door and she followed behind.
"No, seriously though, what are you?" he asked as they came out onto the landing leading to the stairs which were wrapped in spideweb like material and black fabric. The entire house had been decked out head to toe by his mother who had been so excited about making the house as unique as possible.
"Name's Candy," she said in a saulty voice.
Dean turned slowly from where he was standing on the stairs to gawk at her. She grinned.
"Um," he paused trying to figure it out. "That sounds interesting. Still don't know who you are."
"It'll make more sense when Gabe is here," she said.
They came into the family room.
"You and Gabe are doing a pairs costume?" he asked confused.
"What?" she asked defensively. "Don't look at me like that. We are just friends. Plus, Ash is coming later."
"Does he know about?" asked Dean.
"Yes he does," she said. "I had asked him to be Peeta when I was going to be Katniss but he wanted to be an eighties rocker. So I told him I was doing this. He's cool with it," she said with a shrug.
"Okay. Eighties rocker. That's cool?" Dean asked of Jo.
She grimaced slightly.
"It'll be an event with Ash." She looked around the house and nodded in approval of the decorations. "What about you and Cass?" she finally said. "Is he going to show up as the joker or something."
"I don't know what he's coming as," said Dean.
"Really?" she asked in surprise. "Would've thought that you would have done something."
"Ugh," groaned Dean. "Talk about mush central."
"Okay Mr. manly," said Jo, raising her hands up andbacking up slightly.
Dean took a pose, placing his hands on his hips and sticking out his chest.
"Batman. I'm Batman."
Jo laughed. Dean glared at her.
"Where's Sam?" she asked.
"He is with Jess and Anna at Jess' house. Apparently they are doing something with some cult show or something like that," he said. Not understanding the mind of his little brother.
"I can't wait to see it," said Jo.
"Did you see my parents?" asked Dean, looking out of the room to see if they were there. Mary came into view. Her face was pale and she wore a white dress and looked ghostly.
"Sadly, she did," she said motioning to the very simple costume. "How do I look?"
"Mom, um. Did you forget about Halloween?" joked Dean.
"I know, I really did think about it," explained Mary, "but with all the decorating and cooking I just couldn't think of something."
"You should have done something like me," said John coming into the room. His costume looked worn and old, like something out of a western.
"John, I don't watch that show," said Mary. "I don't even know the characters."
"So what. It's a cowboy suit! Who doesn't like a good cowboy suit?" asked John of Jo.
"Firefly?" Jo asked.
"Ah! Yes, a fan?" he questioned.
"No, sir. Just aware of the fandom," she said.
Mary went to answer the knock on the front door.
"Sad day," said John.
"Am I interrupting?" asked the boy standing outside. He was wearing a full star-trek costume, complete with the pointy ears sticking out behind his hair.
"Balthazar, come in!" said Dean, standing behind his mother who smiled warmly at Balthazar.
"Greetings," the boy said.
"Spock, my good man. Would you care for a refreshment," asked John.
"No, thank you, Sir," he answered politely. Mary returned to the door and Dean, Jo, and Balthazar shifted more into the family room as other people came into the house. "Hello Dean, Jo."
They said hello as friends of Dean's parents came into the house. He vaguely listened to Balthazar and Jo talk before running to the door when he saw a familiar face.
"Bobby!" Dean called.
"Hey, kid. How are ya?" asked the older man. His face looked scruffy and Dean realized he was wearing something that he had often seem the man wear.
"I'm great. Glad you could make it," he said, giving them man a hug.
"Bobby, what is this?" asked John coming up to his friend and patting him on the back.
"I'm a hunter," explained Bobby.
"You are a hunter though," said John.
"Ya, so why go and buy something for one night. Hell, I don't know these people. They might not know," he said in his gruff voice.
Both Dean and his father laughed at the man's answer.
"I'm glad you could make it Bobby," said Mary coming to the door.
"Always nice to see you Mary," said Bobby gently.
"I'm home," came a loud voice behind them as Bobby headed into the kitchen.
Sam burst through the door wearing a button up shirt, tweed coat, black pants, and a bow tie.
"Wow, um. What are you. Nerd spectacular?" asked Dean.
"The Doctor," said Sam holding up something small and it made a wierd buzzing noise.
"Yes! Someone came as Dr. Who. Fantastic," said Balthazar.
"And may I present my lovely companions Amy Pond and Rose Tyler," said Sam as Jess and Anna entered, each wearing pretty normal attire.
"You are such geeks," said Dean with a laugh.
"With pride," said the blonde.
"Nice to meet you Jess, I'm Batman," said Dean.
"Where is Gabe?" asked Jo looking at the door as more adults poured in.
"He is coming," said Balthazar. "He is such a drama queen when it comes to parties. Can't arrive too early."
"Is Cass with him?" asked Dean.
"Probably. Gabe probably made him come and make sure he looked good," reasoned Balthazar.
"He really is a diva," said Jo, rubbing her forehead.
"Did somebody say my name?"
They all turned around to see Gabe in a full white suit with a blazing red tie against a black shirt. He was wearing a black fedora too.
"Wow," said Dean.
"Don't I look fabulous," he said. Jo came over to him.
"You guys look great together," said Anna.
"What are you?" asked Sam.
"I'm a sugar daddy," said Gabe grinning. He pulled out a Hershey bar from his coat pocket.
"Jo, you let him talk you into being his girl?" asked Dean.
"I wanted to wear the dress," she said.
"Dean," came a soft voice breaking Dean's focus from the pair in front of him. He turned to see Cass wearing the suit that he had been wearing when he went ofr the interview with the school. The suit was almost hidden behind the trench coat that came down to his ankles. He also had a pair of black wings protruding form his back.
"Cass."
"I like your costume," said Cass with a grin.
"I couldn't figure out what I wanted to be," said Dean, laughing at how artificial the suit must look.
"I considered a couple of things," said Cass.
"You're an angel," said Dean, coming closer and taking the image in. Somehow Cass' hair looked messier than normal and it was brilliant.
"Ya," said Cass looking down at himself and shifting. "All the white wings were sold out though so I had to get black."
"I like them better," said Dean, playing with one of the feathers.
Cass smiled.
"Thanks."
"I had thought I'd get a great idea but then I had to admit defeat and I bought this," said Dean.
"You make a great Batman," said Cass.
"You guys are worse then me and my girlfriend," came a female voice near them. Dean turned sharply.
"Charlie!" he exclaimed.
"Dr. Horrible at your service," she said. She was wearing goggles on her forehead and a white lab coat.
"Who?" asked Dean.
"Dr. Horrible, like Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog," she said.
"Sorry?"
Her eyes widened in horror. "You, me, Skype, and then we are watching that. Netflix. pronto," she said.
"A musical?" asked Dean groaning.
"Hello! It's crazy! and amazing!" she cried.
"I agree," came a deeper voice.
"What is your name?" asked Cass.
"This is my girlfriend, Meg," introduced Charlie.
"I'm actually Captain Hammer tonight," she said. Dean noticed the t-shirt.
"Same show?" asked Cass.
"Yep," she said.
"Lot's of couple's costumes tonight," commented Dean.
"Ya, and you better watch out or people will think you belong to the baby devil over there," said Meg pointing a short brunette out ot them who was standing with Sam, Anna, and Jess. she was wearing a red outfit complete with horns and a tail.
"That's Ruby," said Dean.
"Whatever," Meg said and walked over to the drinks table.
"She can be a bit abrasive," said Charlie.
"A bit?" asked Dean.
"You learn to love her," she explained.
"So you're the friend from camp?" asked Cass.
"Yep," she swung her arm around Dean's shoulder. "The gay friend who helped our Batman here to uncover his true feelings. Your welcome."
"Thanks Charlie for making that ten times awkwarder," said Dean.
"I aim to please," she said with a grin, releasing her grip.
"Are we going to rock this neighborhood or what?" came Gabe's voice suddenly. "I need my candy."
"She's right there," said Dean with a laugh.
"Shut up," said Jo, blushing.
"I still can't believe you wore that," he said to her.
"It makes me feel nice," she said. Dean looked away, he could feel the wrath emanating from her.
"I think you look beautiful Jo," said Cass.
"Thank you. Should we start going around," she asked louder to everyone.
"Ya, umm...Dr. something, Rose, and Amy? Devil?"
"Yep," came a unified reply.
"You coming with us?" asked Dean, motioning to the door.
"Like you could get rid of us," said Sam.
"Lets run this town dry of it's sugary confections," cried Gabe.
"Yummy," said Meg.
"I'm glad you invited me" said Cass once they finally all were outside and walking down the sidewalk. They were walking behind the rest at a slower pace. Gabe walked in front his eyes on the prize.
"I'm glad you were able to come. How is your mom doing?" Dean asked.
"She's home right now. We're making her comfortable. Michael is with her tonight," said Cass.
"I'm sorry," said Dean. "I shouldn't have mentioned it," he said quietly, noticing how cass' face had changed.
"No, I'm glad you did," said Cass, pausing on the sidewalk. He turned to Dean. "Dean, there are some days when all I want to do is smile because it's the only thing I can do, but there are days I can't even get up out of bed because of sad I am."
"Cass," said Dean.
"Please, let me finish," requested Cass. "On the days when I barely can get up I think of this. I think of us and I'm so glad that I have you. And I know, this is really chick flicky and you can blush and I'll blush, but when. When my mom isn't here anymore, I just..."
"I'll make sure that you get up in the morning," said Dean.
Cass didn't start walking, but he turned away and glanced up at the moon.
"Does it scare you how fast this happened?" he asked.
"Not really. Not anymore," answered Dean.
"Not anymore?" asked Cass turning back to him.
"Why be nervous anymore when I feel completely comfortable with you," said Dean.
"You guys are so adorable," said the fedora topped runt who had somehow snuck up close to them.
"Gabe," groaned Dean. "Private moment please."
"I was just coming to see if you were actually going to get any candy, because if you don't want any I want your share," he said.
"Go away Gabe," Cass.
"Castiel. You hurt me," he said, placing his hand over his heart. He left them and Dean watched him as he returned to the group and whooped when he realized the person was handing out kit-kats.
"Are you sure he's human?" asked Dean.
"I've checked. All those new syfy shows made me suspicious. He's clean," said Cass.
Dean laughed.
"Will you have Thanksgiving with me?" asked Cass suddenly ask they walked closer to the rest of their friends.
"Thanksgiving? That's pretty far away," said Dean.
"I just wanted to ask before you might make other plans."
"I'll ask my parents, but I don't see why not," said Dean.
"I think it'd be nice to have you there."
"Dinner with the parents," said Dean, his eyebrows raised, making the mask move on his face.
"They like you," said Cass.
"I'm really glad to hear that, because your dad was kind of terrifying."
"He sometimes carries a presence that makes him seem pretty larger than life," agreed Cass.
"You have no idea."
"I don't know, I think I like the Mal types of dads," said Cass, pointing behind them back to Dean's house.
"You don't even know how long he has been planning that costume. It was like an artist working on a great masterpiece."
Cass laughed.
"Hey, let's get out of here," said Dean, stopping suddenly.
"Leave them?" asked Cass.
"Do you really want any candy?" asked Dean.
"Not at all," said Cass with a grin.
"Where too then?" asked Dean in a whisper.
"The place I showed you?" asked Cass.
"Okay," said Dean with a smile. "Let's go."
The two ran away from their friends who were standing with their backs to them. They were waiting for an elderly neighbor to open her door with a wide grin across her face and a bowl of candy for them to eat.
"We are horrible," said Cass once they finally arrived at the wooded area.
"Just slightly," said Dean sitting down on the ground. Cass joined him.
"You look pretty intense with that mask on in the dark."
"You scared?" asked Dean.
"No. Batman's the good guy. The one who saves everyone else. Why would you scare me?" asked Cass edging closer to Dean.
"Just wondering," said Dean. A shiver running through his body ask Cass got closer.
"So, we came here," said Cass.
"We don't have to stay for long," said Dean. Hoping Cass wasn't mad that he had suggested going somewhere else.
"Do you think they will look for us?" asked the dark-haired boy.
"Maybe," said Dean quietly.
"Can you take the mask off?" asked Cass, staring at him.
"Sure," said Dean, pulling it off. "But why-"
Dean was cut off when Cass pushed himself closer and pressed his lips against Dean's own.
"Wow."
Cass smiled and closed the space again and Dean felt like his head was filled with bubbles. He was tingling from head to toe and couldn't focus on anything but Cass' lips on his own. The kiss wasn't ferocious; it wasn't gentle either. Dean shifted so that he was more turned towards Cass and they sat there. Dean moved his hand up to Cass' back but got blocked by the black feathers.
"Darn feathers," laughed Cass as the awkward fumble of Dean made them break apart.
"I still think they suit you," said Dean, playing with a feather.
"I make a good angel?" asked Cass.
"A fallen angel," confirmed Dean.
"Why do you say fallen?" asked Cass.
"If you're fallen that means you're here forever. I can keep you." Dean knew the words were cheesy.
"So much for not blushing," said Cass looking away.
Dean smirked.
"I like it," he said with a wide smile.
"Are you on drugs?" asked Cass happily. "I've never seen you so relaxed."
Dean kissed Cass again and cupped the dark-haired boy's face. He moved his lips
slightly and their kiss lasted longer than any before. When they broke apart Dean was grinning.
"We should head back," said Dean.
"Ya, we should head back," agreed Cass.
They smiled at one another and Cass grabbed Dean's hand and held it.
They didn't make any move to get up from their place.
So this was a really cheesy chapter. Oops...oh well. Gotta have the cheesy chapters in their too. Also this might lead into another chapter. Not sure..this halloween party is over just yet. We will see. Anyway. I hope that I will be able to post soon, but with school starting up soon it is all in the air.
