Dean was pleasantly surprised to be welcomed with smiling faces the day at school; it looked like the students had forgiven him which was a good thing. The only problem was Claire Novak, every single time his eyes landed on her; all he could thing about was Castiel Novak naked in the shower blowing him. And that is not such a good thing because he certainly didn't want to get a boner in the middle of one of his classes, which would be more than embarrassing.

Cas had given him his number the previous evening and he was contemplating whether or not he should text him or wait three days. He didn't even know where this "three days rule" came from but it appeared to be a social norm for some reason. He really liked the guy, well, he didn't really know him; he liked the part of him that was fucking him senselessly not even a week ago, and he would very much like to do it again but this time properly that's why he didn't want to blow his chances by giving the guy the wrong impression. So that's why he was sat at a table in the teacher's room watching his phone intensively hoping that maybe it would give him some sort of answer. Charlie came up to their table and sat opposite him.

"Hey, what's so interesting about this phone of yours?" she asked him eyeing his phone with a raised eyebrow

"Nothing" shrugged Dean putting his phone back into his jean's pocket "So, what do you have for lunch?" he tried to redirect the conversation, he knew that Charlie was not buying his bullshit but she was nice enough to let it go and they just chatted about their days and gossiped like they usually do. When Dean felt his phone vibrate indicating that he had just received a text message he hurried up and got his phone out, it was just a text from Jess reminding him to come over for dinner because he kind of did have a tendency to forget when he had dinner planned with his brother and his soon-to-be- sister in-law. He sighed and answered the text. Well, after giving it some thoughts, Cas couldn't possibly be texting him since Dean didn't give him his number, it was the other was around.

"Ok enough, cut the crap Dean, whose text are you waiting for?" told him Charlie with her arm crossed over her chest "Dude, what are you not telling me?"

"Like I said before, It's nothing ! Ok, just drop it"

"Like hell I would, come on. Do you want me to play the best friend part and list you all the things you owe me or what?"

"Still not telling you"

"You do know that I have a lot of blackmail material right? And besides, I could easily hack into your phone and computer and expose all of your dirty little secrets!" Now she really looked intimidating, Dean obviously knew all of that already but the way she was saying it made him nervous because well, it is Charlie and she wouldn't hesitate doing it at all.

"If I tell you, you have to promise me to keep this to yourself! Not to tell anyone at all, especially not Sam and Jess !"

"Yeah sure" she shrugged "So, what even is it?"

"Well, I kinda saw Castiel Novak last night and he kinda gave me his number" Charlie's eyes were wide open

"Wait WHAT? When did you even see him, we were here all night for the parents-teachers conference." And then her face illuminated "NO FUCKING WAY, HIS KID IS HERE OH MY GOD JESS IS GONNA FREAK OUT" she understood

"Keep your voice down idiot" told her Dean who didn't want to attract anyone's attention "You're not going to tell Jess any of this and yes, he was here for the parents-teachers conference and it was fucking awkward when he walked into my class. And no, before you ask, we did not have sex in my class you pervert"

"Dude that's great! Why are you waiting for a text from his if you didn't give him your number? It's not like he could've magically guessed it or anything"

"It's just that I don't know whether or not I should text him or wait a few day"

"Oh my god you're such a baby" She snatched his phone from his hands "here you go, done."

Dean didn't have time to react, Charlie was really fast and she had already typed and sent a text before Dean could get his phone back, this is going to be a disaster he thought.

Castiel was at Anna's house, she invited him for lunch and also because her nanny was super sick so she couldn't come babysit Inias and she had to go to work, and between her two brothers, she only trusted Castiel to look after her son.

They were both eating lunch when Cas' phone vibrated, when he got his phone out and saw that it was from a number he didn't have register he immediately knew it was Dean,who else would have his phone number, it's not like he could be on the yellow pages.

"Hey Cas it's Dean, when are you free for dinner this week?"

That was nice, Dean was straightforward which is something he really liked. He hated the whole flirting process that lasted week and the wait three days rule that was completely dumb, like two people like each others, they both know it, why would they wait three days before getting in touch.

"Cas, who are you texting ? You don't text" said Anna who was incredulously watching her brother. And she was right, Castiel rarely texted and let alone when he was eating lunch.

"Oh, it's nothing" responded Castiel trying to sound casual

" It doesn't look like 'nothing' to me " Castiel gave her what Gabriel liked to call his 'death glare' "ok ok fine no need to kill me" said Anna slightly worried that her brother would actually end her life by simply looking at her like that.

"Oh my god, he answered, what do I do?" asked her Dean completely freaking out, which is kind of unusual, he's used to being it total control and never loses his cool but when it comes to Castiel he is suddenly helpless. The text was quite simple

"Hello Dean, it is nice hearing from you. I'm free Saturday night"

Charlie took Dean's phone to read the message and without waiting for Dean's permission, as per usual, she typed and answered and sent the text before he could even protest. Well at this point he didn't even want to protest because if it wasn't for Charlie and he meddling self, he would still be wondering whether or not he should text Castiel and would've ended up not texting him at all.

Castiel was in the bathroom when he received the messages from Dean. Unfortunately for him, he had left his cell on Anna's kitchen table so when she heard the phone vibrates; she took it and read the message.

When he came back to the kitchen, Anna had his phone in hand and looked at him with a knowing smirk

"It's nothing uh? Right then Cas, glad to see that you don't trust me with your personal life" Castiel could tell that his sister was kind of mad at him

"Just give me the phone" was all he answered, he unlocked his phone I should maybe put a password on this thing actually he thought and read the message

"Ok then, Saturday night it is! I have to go back to work now. I'll text you later to plan the evening :) - Dean"

"So, is that the guy from the other night ? " asked him Anna

"Yes it is"

"I didn't know you kept in touch"

"We didn't"

"Then how does he have your number?"

"I gave it to him last night" He finally gave up and told her.

"Wait what ? weren't you at Claire's parents-teachers conference last night? OH MY GOD CAS is his kid there too? Oh shit does Claire know his child ? Man this is awesome" and then she just kept laughing until Cas said

"No, he's Claire's math teacher" then there was a total silent as Anna stared at him in complete shock and he was just staring at the floor, regretting saying what he did

"oh my god Cas, you slept with our niece's math teacher? Are you serious? Like for real? What the hell man, I would've never expected that coming from you ! I mean is it was Gabriel I wouldn't have been surprised but YOU. Oh man this is EXCELLENT, Gab is gonna freak out" Then she was back at laughing hysterically.

"That's why you're not going to tell him or anyone about this ok ? Especially not Claire ! Is that clear?"

"Cristal. But just one question, you won't be able to keep it a secret for ever Cas. I mean, having sex with her teacher once that's ok because you both didn't know who the other was but dating him is a whole other story and I don't want Claire to be caught in the middle of it if things go badly." Castiel already knew all of that but they were both adult and if thing were to not work between them it will be ok because, they were both mature enough, well he hoped so.

"Well for now, there is no dating involved so let's not get ahead of ourselves ok? We're just going out for dinner and you know, we'll see what happens."

Dean was on his couch watching a rerun of the fourth season of 'Doctor Sexy MD' when Sam came in his house without even bothering to knock, as usual, and sat next to him on the couch

"Sup Dean"

"What are you doing here bitch ? "

"Charlie told me"

For fuck's sake, can't I have some privacy he cursed mentally. His family seemed to not have the word 'privacy' in their vocabulary.

" Told you what ? " he tried to play dumb but Sam was not buying it.

" ha ha ha Dean" laughed Sam sarcastically "As if you don't know. Anyway, I'm your brother man, why do I have to learn everything about you through Charlie"

"Because she can't keep anything to herself and it's not my fault she's always meddling in my business. Besides, don't you both know what 'privacy' means ? That's why I don't tell you things"

"yeah yeah yeah bla bla bla" imitated him Sam using his hands "So, are you actually going on a date with one of your student's parent ? Isn't that like against the rules ? And I didn't know Castiel Novak had a child, Jess never mentioned it"

"Ok, first of all, she is not his daughter, she's his niece. He's her legal guardian. And no, there's no rule against dating a student's parents, I mean I think. Plus it's not like we're dating or anything so stop assuming stuff ok?"

"Well, you'd like to date him right?" Suddenly Sam got more serious and Dean was all but prepared to have this discussion right now, or ever. It's not like he was very successful when it came to dating and relationship, his life was a long list of failed and miserable attempts at relationship and the most serious one he had ended up horribly and it left him very very miserable and lonely.

Sam knew he had touched a sensitive spot when Dean ignored his question and got up to go get them beers. Dean appreciated his brother for to pushing the matter any further and enjoyed his company. It was getting late and Sam needed to leave

"Just one thing Dean" he told his brother right before leaving "Be careful ok? I don't want it to be like last time"

Dean forced a smile to his brother trying to assure him that all was forgotten, and they both knew that is really wasn't but for both their sake they did what they always do : pretend everything is fine and avoid talking about their problems.

Over the next few days, Castiel spent his time wondering whether or not he should text Dean back to plan their 'date' the coming Saturday. It was very late on Thursday night that he decided he should just go for it

"Hello Dean, how are you?"

He got his response just a few minutes after

"Hey Cas, I'm great now thanks. What about you? Had a nice day? :) "

Castiel thought that Dean really did love emojis, I might start using them then, he thought.

" I'm great thanks. Well, it was quite a pleasant day but a not so pleasant evening as my brother came and he's quite unnerving. "

Wow, his texts are so formal, thought Dean after seeing the one he just received. He spent the next 5 minutes staring at his phone wondering what he should write next to direct the conversation. And in that moment he wished Charlie was here, she would know how to flirt (properly not like Dean did) and write good text, though he would never admit that to her, she could be useful from time to time. After giving it a lot of thoughts he finally settled on something quite ok, in his opinion.

" So, still ok for Saturday night ? "

" Yes of course. What would you like to do ?" 'you' thought Dean but it was but an appropriate answer, like really not.

" I was thinking about going out to a nice restaurant for dinner. What do you think about that ? "

" I don't know if I mentioned this to you before but now seems like a great time to, I'm actually an actor and if we go out somewhere nice in LA I might be recognized and I'd hate it to ruin the evening "

Good job idiot, thought Dean to himself, he had totally forgot about the whole 'movie star with tons of fangirls' thing, in his mind it was just 'Cas', the super hot guy from the bar.

" I have to confess something Cas, I already knew about that. Well, I just found out a few days ago. Sorry for not mentioning it before ^^' "

Oh no, thought Castiel, he really hoped Dean didn't google him. He didn't realy mind it if Dean found a fanfiction or drawings about him, he actually liked them because they were so creative. The things he dreaded most were all those Gossip magazine and blogs. They were the first few websites that came up when you googled his name and all the things in them were absolutely wrong. The current rumour about him was that he was dating some Victoria's Secret model, and it all started because they were seen talking at a club opening a month ago, since then, tons of photos of them from that evening were floating around the internet

" Oh it's ok. Just please tell me you did not google me ? "

" I actually did, to check the photos to see if it was you. But don't worry, I felt like a creep and didn't stalk you or go on you Wikipedia page if that's what you were dreading "

" Oh thank God, to be honest with you, I was worried you looked me up on gossip websites or magazine. Never trust these things, they constantly publish lies and rumours "

"What's the latest hot gossip about you then ? ;) "

" I am apparently dating a Victoria's secret model. And we've been dating for a few months already according to them. We're both very happy and we're also house hunting since we want to move-in together. I mean, this is completely absurd, I don't follow the rumours, my brother is the one filling me up on these things all day long."

"Yeah, I see why it's best if we don't go out then. I have an idea, but it's a surprise"

"Well, I'm not really fond of surprises but I trust you"

"Ok then. I'll come get you Saturday night then!"

His next period got cancelled, because the kids had some conference they had to attend, so he was in his classroom browsing the internet and playing some dumb game on his phone, he'd have to thank Sam for getting him a smartphone, these things were quite handy. He was enjoying the unusually calm and quiet classroom when he got a menacing text message from an unknown number

"Hello Dean, I know who you are and you better behave" well that was more than worrying, he had no idea whatsoever about who the author of the message might be. He hesitated before replying but thought he's better or it would seem like he was intimidated by the stranger, which he was not, well, kind of.

"Hi, great to see you know who I am because I don't know who you are. Could you enlighten me?"

Sam would be proud of him for using such proper language in text, usually it was full of abbreviations and spelling mistakes. He got his response a few seconds later

"Ah Deano good to see ur not a baby. Im Gab, Castiels big bro"

What the hell, thought Dean, that must be the gossip addict Cas told me about. He was typing his answer when his phone started ringing, Gab was calling him

"Hey Deano"

"Hello Gab. What do you want? Be quick I'm at work"

"You're free for the next half hour so sush"

"You're creepy dude, how do you even know that?"

"I have spied everywhere. Anway, I'm not calling you to have a nice chat about your work. The reason I'm calling is because of you relationship with my lil bro, I must warn you, I know where you live and also I have the addresses of every single one of your friends and family member."

"So what, you called to threaten my family you psycho?" Dean was getting angry, he didn't mind the 'big brother talk' but no one, no one threatens his family.

"Already with the big words ! I ain't threatening no one but you. Just wanted to tell you that you better not be using him for his fame because then I swear to god I'll chop you off and feed you to my customers, well at least I hope you taste as you as you look"

"Dude calm down, I didn't even know who Cas was until a few days ago ok? I'm not using him and remind me to never go to whatever restaurant you run. "

"Ok but just so you know, I'll have you followed over the course of the next few weeks bye" and hang up before Dean could even say a thing.

To say that Castiel's brother is weird would be an understatement, the guy is totally full on creepy, and he really hoped he was joking about having followed it's not like he was doing anything weird or illegal but that's still a huge invasion of someone's privacy.

It was Saturday morning, the day of the dreaded date with the awesome Dean. Castiel's not really the nervous type but first dates are kind of a big deal and this one even more because he didn't know what they were going to do since Dean wanted it to be a surprise. Growing up in the same house as Gabriel made him hate surprises from a very young age. His older brother had the awful tendency of making pranks and playing tricks on them all day long, which was fun at first but then it just became infuriating. He was even nicknamed the trickster by the whole neighbourhood and he was actually proud of it. Once for his and Jimmy's birthday, he thought it would be fun to wake them up by dumping ice cold water on them and then he hid huge spiders in their drawers and closets.

"Hey Cas, what's your address? It'll be a lot easier to pick you up if I have it ;) " Well, Dean wasn't wrong on that point. He texted him his address and called the gate guard to tell him he should let Dean in when he comes later that night.

It was almost time for Dean to go pick up Castiel. He had showered and picked up his best outfit, well, Charlie came over earlier to help him choose what to wear, they both settled on a pair of black comfortable yet classy jeans, a gray blue-ish shirt and a black jacket. He looked really good, especially in those jeans.

He put all the things he prepared in the impala's trunk and went to the address Cas gave him. Castiel seemed to live in a gated neighbourhood in the Hollywood Hills; suddenly Dean felt very out of place and Castiel's fame started to really hit him. It was weird and unbelievable to think that someone like that would be interested in him, he was starting to freak out and even considered turning around and cut all contact he has with him. But it was kind of too late now, he was ten meters away from the gate and he had some honour too, he wasn't going to leave the guy waiting for him especially after the phone conversation he had with his big brother. When he arrived at the gate and stated his name, one of the guards escorted him to Castiel's house. It was not visible front the street as it was hidden behind a gate and trees, he pushed the button that was probably a doorbell and was shortly answered by Castiel's voice telling him to drive up to the house. The gate opened and he was welcomed by a huge garden and a path leading up to the front door.

The house in itself was amazing, it was the typical Hollywood house featured in most movies: modern architecture but still managed to look homey and huge windows.

Dean was here, he wasn't really nervous about the date, he was more anxious about what awaits him. He didn't know where Dean was taking him so he decided not to dress up too fancy and went for a more casual look; navy blue jeans, a black button-down and light black coat because even though LA is hot all year long, it was fairly cold at night in October.

He heard a Dean's car, which made quite a lot of noise, come up the driveway, he got his keys and went out to greet Dean. His car was beautiful to say the least; it was one of those classic old models. Dean hadn't noticed him standing there as he was admiring the house. Castiel felt a bit self conscious about his house, it could be quite intimidating but he wasn't really the one who chose it, Balthazar and Gabriel teamed up to find it because they said it was the kind of house a movie star lived in not like his old and small apartement.

When Dean finally saw his, a smile formed on his face and he got out the car to greet him.
