Castiel was shocked, but he couldn't believe in his eyes, Dean and Lisa were kissing on John's mechanical shop. Castiel turned his back, filled with a foreign feeling; a mix of rage, sadness and disappointment. 'Wasn't I enough for him?' Thought Castiel walking blindly and bumping into someone "I'm sorry"

"It's ok, Cas" Said Michael smiling "I'm sorry about our fight"

"Not now, Michael" Said Castiel sadly "I'm not ok"

"So you saw" Said Michael pointing towards Lisa and Dean that were talking right now "They make a nice couple"

"Why do you torture me?" Asked Castiel with a tear falling from his face

"Can you see Cas?" Asked Michael holding Castiel's shoulder "You are in Dean's way to have a family with that woman"

"He doesn't like her" Said Castiel a little shaken, he didn't know if it that was true anymore

"Why he kissed her then?"

"I don't know"

"Maybe because he loves her, Cas" Whispered Michael looking at Castiel's eyes

"That's not true, he said he loves me"

"It didn't look like it"

Castiel stood in silence and cried soundless, while Michael embraced him

"Brother, I can help you"

"How?" Said Castiel with his head filled with sorrow, how could Dean betray him like this?

"You can take a month on this ex-gay clinic and be cured" Said Michael caressing Castiel's back lightly "I can take you there now"

"But what do I say to Dean?"

"Nothing" Said Michael whipping Castiel's tears "If you love him, leave him to be happy with a woman"

"But he loves me!" Whispered Castiel

"It's every man dreams to have children and grandchildren, Cas" Whispered Michael giving Castiel a handkerchief "You can't give him any of this"

Castiel stood in silence and realized that maybe Michael was right "I'll give it a chance"

"I'm glad you are listing to me, brother" Said Michael taking Castiel outside "I'll talk with Dean, after we get you to the clinic"


"Cas, I'm home" Said Dean opening the door "Cas?" Shouted him looking for Castiel on the apartment, but he wasn't there. Dean called Sam to know if Castiel was with him.

"Sammy, is Cas there with you?"

"No, why?" Asked Sam worried

"Because he was supposed to be at home by now"

"Maybe he still on the library"

"No, he isn't, I already called them before coming home… He isn't there"

"That's weirdo" Said Sam after a pause "I'll call Rachel, I'll call you back, Dean"

"Thank you, Sammy" Dean hanged up and took a shower, after eating his dinner he waited, but neither Sam nor Rachel knew about Castiel. Someone knocked on the door, Dean rushed to open it.

"Good evening, Dean" Said Michael

"It's you" Said Dean enraged "What you want?"

"To say Castiel is with me"

"What?!"

"My little brother is treating himself on a clinical center" Said Michael handling Dean a letter "Here"

"You kidnapped your brother and hospitalized him?" Asked Dean furious "Are you insane?"

"Castiel came to me seeking help" Continued Michael "Take it"

"What the meaning of this?" Said Dean taking the letter "I need to talk to him"

"You won't, Castiel needs time to be cured"

"He isn't sick!" Said Dean grabbing Michael by his collar "You son of a bitch! What did you do with Cas?"

"I didn't do anything" Said Michael pulling Dean away "You did, you kissed that woman in front of him!"

Dean made a shocked expression, Lisa kissed him, was Castiel around? "She kissed me!"

"Well it didn't look like it" Said Michael griming

"You son of a bitch!" Said Dean grabbing him again by his collar "You set everything up, didn't you?"

"I didn't do such a thing" Said Michael struggling to escape Dean's grip "You should thank me, now you can have a family and be normal"

Dean punched Michael's face twice and threw him against the wall, he closed his fist, he was about to punch Michael again when he remembered Castiel's smile, for one second his rage ceased, a tear met the ground.

"See, Dean… The very touch of you corrupts, you are a monster!" Said Michael with a victorious grim

"The only monster here is you!" Dean turned his back on Michael and closed the door behind him; all that was left of Castiel was a letter now.


"Rachel, I'm going to check up on Dean" Said Sam taking his rain coat and car keys

"You'd better do" Said she kissing his cheek "I'm worried about Cas"

"I'm worried with Dean; he doesn't pick up the phone"

"Please, Sam" Pleaded Rachel holding Sam's arm "Be careful, If Dean is in trouble call the police"

"I will Rachel" Said Sam kissing her cheek "I will call you when I got there"

Rachel nodded and Sam left his house, while driving his cell phone rang

"Hello? Who is this?" Asked Sam parking close to a restaurant

"Sam?" It was Castiel's voice

"Cas?" Shouted Sam "Where are you?"

"I'm in a clinic"

"A clinic?" Said Sam surprised "Did something happen to you?"

"No, it's complicated… I need you to do a favor for me"

"Cas, are you all right?"

"I'm fine; can you do a favor for me?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"I need you to stop Dean from following me"

"Cas, wait… What is going on?"

"Sam, I need time to decide for myself if I'm on the right path"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm in a clinic that treats gay people"

"You what?"

"Please listen to me, Sam"

Sam stood in silence and Castiel continued in a hoarse voice

"Dean will come after me… Please, convince him to let me be for a while"

"Why? Cas, he loves you"

"I know, I love him too"

"So why do you need to do this?"

"If I'm wrong Sam, then I'm stealing Dean's choice to have a family"

"Dean already has a family, you"

"No, Sam" Said Castiel after a dry cough "We are just like family"

"Cas, you should talk to him and settle this"

"I can't Sam, please, stop Dean from making more mistakes... Like me."
