Upon hearing Castiel's front door closing, Dean looked up and saw Castiel looking at him, a huge smile forming creases around his eyes.
"Hey there" was all he said as he watched Castiel approach, he looked amazing dressed up all in dark especially with his elegant black coat, the same one he was wearing the first time they met.
"Hello Dean" He stopped when he was at a respectable distance from Dean, not wanting to invade his personal space. His eyes hadn't shifted away, he couldn't help but look at the other man, Dean was a very good looking man to say the least and Castiel was still wondering how no modelling agency had approached him because he looked way better than most models on the circuit. "How are you ?" he added after a short pause
"I'm fantastic !" answered him Dean grinning "Are you ready to go ?" he added nodding towards his car
"Yes I am, just one thing, where are you taking me?" Castiel didn't really like surprises and he hoped Dean would give him some sort of hint.
" Just wait and see " offered him Dean with a wink " Just trust me on this, I can only tell you it's a quiet place and there's close to zero chance to be recognised"
Castiel frowned, there's not that many places in LA that fit this definition but trusted Dean and it didn't really matter to him at this point because he just wanted to spend time with the other man.
They both got into the impala, when Dean stated the car, the radio blasted Led Zeppelin at max volume which startled them both a little bit
" Sorry about that " told him Dean apologetically and turned off the radio " I'm kind of used to listening to music pretty loudly when I drive "
" I can see that" laughed Castiel " But I am not familiar with this one, what is it ? "
Castiel immediately knew he said something wrong when Dean looked at him with his eyes wide open and mouth agape, if they weren't driving in his neighbourhood, he would've feared for his safety and the safety of other because Dean wasn't looking at the road and was staring at him instead
" ARE YOU SERIOUS ? " he said a bit too loud " ok I'm sorry but that's classic man ! I need to educate you, here " he turned the radio back on and lowered the volume " That's Led Zeppelin, it's a classic rock band. Please tell me you have at least heard of them" At least he had turned his attention on the road again, Castiel had never heard of that band or any other actually so Dean decided that it was his duty to educate him as he said, which meant that they spent the whole ride listening to different songs from different albums and artists. It was actually great since there were no awkward silences and Castiel had managed to completely forget about his apprehension concerning the surprise location of their date.
When the car finally stopped, Castiel looked around a bit confused. They were, well, in the middle of nowhere. Which is weird since they didn't drive for that long, and after looking at his watch he noticed that they had in fact been driving for almost an hour, he was really shocked because it actually felt like they've been driving for only 15 minutes, time really does flies by when you're in good company.
"Where are we" Ask Castiel when they got out of the car, it was dark now and all he could see was grass and rocks.
"Somewhere special, I hope you like picnics"
Wow, that's a great surprise thought Castiel, last time he went on a picnic was years ago when they did one with his siblings and parents. It was for Anna's birthday and it didn't really end up well, as usual when Gab is involved, because he put bread crumbs all around them and they got attacked by a bunch of crazy seagulls who ended up pooping all over them. But this time there was no Gab meddling around so they should be fine.
Dean opened the trunk of his car and grabbed the two baskets he had put there before, he gave one to Cas and lead the way. They turned around this huge rock and wow was all Castiel could think of. He's lived in LA for most of his life and yet it was the first time he had seen it from such an amazing spot, they were on top of a hill and they could literally see the whole city, it was just beautiful.
Dean couldn't stop grinning as he watched Castiel's eyes glitter with awe, It was a splendid view, he really got why they called it the city of angels especially with Cas in front of him admiring the city.
"wow, that is amazing Dean, how did you find this place ?"
" My uncle used to bring me and my brother here sometimes and then it became a tradition to come here every 4th of July with our fireworks and all. It's just a really nice place and it's kind of my refuge, I like to come here to clear my mind. This place really gives you perspective; when you see everything from afar, suddenly all your problems seem meaningless in the grand scheme of life you know it's just …"
Castiel stared at Dean, he felt really emotional because Dean had brought him to this amazing place that meant so much to him which gave it even more meaning. And just watching Dean get lost in his thoughts, explaining the meaning behind it all was a beautiful sight in itself. Castiel looked around him and just said "yeah" and kept on nodding.
Dean laid a blanket and they both sat on it.
"I wanted to cook everything myself but it kinda sucked so I brought these" said Dean getting hamburgers out "well, they're not just any burgers, they're my aunt's and I can tell you that these are the best one you'll ever eat"
Castiel loved hamburgers, even more than loved, he lived for them. His mouth started watering at the thought of eating them. After the first bite he remembered eating there before, the night the met
" Oh man, thatsh sho good" said Castiel with his mouth full " but not to break it to you or anything but I've already tasted one of these bad boys the other day"
" Nah man, you haven't, the Roadhouse's hamburgers are the best one in town. Trust me, I've tried them all"
" Your aunt is the owner of the Roadhouse ? That's where I ate these amazing hamburgers." He kind of remembered Dean telling him about knowing the owner but it's not like he had paid much attention to what Dean was saying. " I was there with my brother the other night"
" oh… OOOH" said Dean after finally understanding what day, or more specifically night Cas was referring to. It is true that the met at the Roadhouse but Dean remembered some part of the evening more than other and he probably should stop thinking about it or he'll end up getting a boner and it will be very awkward.
They just stared at each other because they both knew they were thinking about the same thing, the other night but neither of them really wanted to say it out loud because it might be awkward and no one likes awkward situations. After this very tension filled moment they both broke in giggles and ended up laughing very hard until their abs hurt and tears formed in the corners of their eyes.
" Oh man, I haven't laughed that hard in quite some times " said Dean trying to catch his breath. And it was true, since Lisa left him and took Ben with her, he hadn't felt very happy despite his friends and family trying very hard to make him happy again. It was way too early to tell if this thing he has with Cas is going to work or not. But he really hoped it does because despite everything, he hadn't felt this free and happy just being with someone and laughing in a while and he really did hope that it will last.
After they finished their meals, Dean grabbed the other basket and got two pies out, a pecan pie and an apple one.
" So here's a thing you should know about me, I love pie. Like seriously, if I could, I'd probably only eat pies for the rest of my life " he pointed to the pecan pie " And this one is my all-time favourite, Ellen made them too . I've been trying for years to get a hold of her recipe but she doesn't want to give it to me " He sighed. "one day, I'll have it" he added in a determined tone " one day… ".
"She sounds nice" said Castiel smiling at Dean's expression "I've been told I have some charm, maybe I could use it to get her to give me the recipe" he added jokingly.
"Man, if you manage to actually do that I'll put a ring on your finger right away" and as usual, Dean didn't think before speaking and it was already too late before he realised what he had just said. Castiel had turned red and Dean was feeling very very uncomfortable so he quickly added "Well I mean not literally but like you get the idea right hahaha" he laughed nervously.
What a prick, thought Dean to himself, everything was going just fine and he had to blow it one way or another, that was just his thing. There was an awkward silence before Dean said
"So, apart from Gabriel, do you have any other siblings?"
"Yes, I have a sister. Anna, she's the youngest and she has a son." Told him Cas before pausing and a confused looked formed on his face " wait, how do you know about Gabriel, I don't remember telling you about him"
" Oh I think you told me I'm not really sure but anyway, he kind of called me and sent me texts a few days ago"
Oh my god, what did he do this time, thought Castiel. And he had every right to be worried, any time Gabriel got involved in something it never ended well for Cas.
"Oh god, no, I was not aware of that" Castiel started massaging his temple with his left hand "I'm actually gonna kill him one day. May I ask you what he said ?"
"Oh it's no big deal, it was the usual "If you hurt my little brother I'm gonna kill you" big brother talk" told him Dean.
" Oh god, knowing him it wasn't all… come on Dean, tell me what he said in details" Cas had a quite frightening look on his face so Dean told him
"Well, he also let me know that he basically stalked me and knew who my family is and where I live which I have to tell you is quite intimidating" Castiel sighed very loudly "but I can take it for you" added Dean with a wink, he was such a huge flirt.
Castiel blushed a bit and smirked "well let me tell you a thing or two about Gabriel, he doesn't back off easily and trust me on this, he's probably gonna make contact with you or someone from your family and if this thing between us goes further he's gonna make both our lives a living hell although he kind of already has been making my life a living hell since I was born"
Dean was taken aback by how strongly Castiel felt about his brother but he was also feeling very warm all of a sudden and really hoped his face hadn't turned red because Cas basically just said outloud that he had had considered this thing between them going further and Dean would be lying if he said he hadn't because in all honesty he kinda liked Cas and wouldn't mind dating him if the other man was up to that sometimes in the future, maybe, who knows.
"Come on, he can't be that bad ! My cousin Jo, well she isn't technically my cousin but it's the same, well she's a real pain in the ass. Once when I was in high school she made it her life goal to ruin my life and but neon green dye in my shampoo the day before we had to take the school photos, I looked like a complete moron and all the people in my junior year have a weird photo to prove it."
"I guess they'll get along just fine then, Gab shaved my right eyebrow off when I was sleeping the night before the start of freshman year it was the worst thing ever."
"hahahahahahaha oh my god, now I'm just imagining you with only one eyebrow ahahaha. I'm sure someone must've already photoshopped that knowing the internet and just how weird it is !"
"Don't get me started on the weird things online, I mean most of the time the fanart is really sweet and all but from time to time somebody will come up with the weirdest idea ever and it's just horrifying. Claire likes to search the deepest darkest places online to find them, she actually made me a scrapbook of them for my birthday … it's very disturbing and made me thing that I should forbid her from spending time with Gab cause he's obviously a very bad influence on everyone"
"Speaking of Claire, how is she doing ?, I mean, outside of my math class"
"Well, she a 15 year old teenager living in California so I'll let you Imagine ! ah I'm just kidding she's actually a great kid, and she sometimes makes me feel like I'm the kid she's parenting. She's quite resourceful to say the least, she's actually the reason I went out to the Roadhouse with Gab last week …"
"I guess I should write her a thank you card then" responded Dean with a grin and a wink
Castiel rolled his eyes up whilst smiling "hahaha oh yeah sure, Thank you Claire for making your Uncle go outside for once. Without you I wouldn't have gotten laid last week. Yours truly, your Math teacher Mr. Dean Winchester. That'll sure make a greeaaaat card" he said sarcastingly.
"Who told you I wouldn't have gotten laid !" exclaimed Dean falsely hurt
"It didn't look like you did get laid very often" responded Castiel with a smirk
"And what's that supposed to mean ?!"
"Nothing, I'm just stating the obvious" winked Cas
"So you're saying that I wasn't a good lay then ?" Dean's voice dropped and he was talking with a deep and oh so sexy voice that really turned Castiel on
"Not that I remember no" and Castiel was also now speaking with a lower and deeper voice "but the again it was more than a week ago and my memory's not being the best lately"
Castiel was leaning toward Dean and vis-versa and the level of sexual tension between them was getting out of control
"What about I make you remember" that was one of the cheesiest lines known to mankind and yet the way Dean really turned Castiel on and made him go 'fuck it', in all the senses of the term. He closed the gap between them and kissed Dean, it was a slow a tender kiss, Dean's lip were really smooth and nice and got nicer as the kiss deepened. Dean was moving his hand up and down Castiel's back holding him closer, he finally laid on his back with Castiel on top of him. They were kissing slowly when they heard a car approach, Castiel stopped kissing and got up really quickly.
"Ugh someone's coming" growled Dean as he slowly sat, he was kinda hard because come on, having a hot making out session on the ground with the hottest person ever was a huge turn on.
"Fuck fuck fuck, we should go quickly" urged him Castiel "I mean sorry, that was so hot and all what we just did and I'm sure I have the same "very turned on look"" said Castiel using quotation marks "and I'd really like to continue so I really don't want anyone to come and interrupt us or worse recognise me"
Oh yeah right, I was just having a super hot making out session with a super hot MOVIE STAR thought Dean.
"Yeah sure, let's clean that up and you should probably try to fix your hair cause it looks like a super hot mess right now" pointed Dean.
They were putting the pies back in the basket and cleaning a bit when they heard
"OH Cassie, how weird it is running into you here and now ! What a coincidence !"
Castiel sighed loudly and closed his eyes trying to stay calm and not smack Gabriel in the face for interrupting them.
"Oh man, you must be Gabriel ! How nice to finally meet you" said Dean "I've heard such nice things about you" he added with a very sarcastic tone
"sure you did Deano. So, what are you both gentlemen doing here on this fine evening ?"
"Oh cut the crap Gab, how did you know we were here ? Did you follow us ? GOD, you're so infuriating !"
"Well I didn't technically follow you. It's just that when I saw you were out and here of all places I wanted to come see for myself."
"What do you mean when you saw I was here ?"
"Oh my god, he put a tracker on your phone Cas" realised Dean "Man that's fucked up !" he added to Gabriel's attention.
"Well technically it's not really a tracker, I'm just putting the geolocalisation feature Apple made to good use. I mean, it's not my fault you keep all your passwords in notebook !"
"A notebook that's in my desk drawer, that is in my office ! Don't you have anything better to do than stalk me ? Don't you have a girlfriend ?"
"Kalie's not my girlfriend and besides she's working at the Roadhouse tonight so no, I don't have anything better to do. It's either that or watching keeping up with the Kardashians but that family is so big it's hard to keep up with any of their shenanigans."
"Wait what ? You know Kalie ? You're dating her? She didn't tell me she was seeing someone !"
"Because we're not dating and besides how do you think I got all of your infos ! I mean I'm a great detective but it's faster when it's an inside job. Speaking of, how's little Sammy ? Liking the engaged life ? When's the wedding ?"
"Oh god, what does Kalie even see in you ?" Dean was beginning to understand the extend of Gabriel's very interesting personality to put it nicely.
"You and me both Dean" replied Castiel as he walked past Gab toward the impala "Come on Dean let's go or this nigh might turn in you being an accomplice of a fratricide."
"A what ?" said Dean following Castiel
"That's just little Cassie being his annoying self and using big words. Don't worry you get used to it after a while."
"Shut up Gab, Dean and I are going and I would really appreciate it if you didn't follow us. Besides I'm turning my phone down right now so you won't be able to track us and remind me to change all of my passwords." Castiel turned around and got in the car.
Dean was about to get in the car when he heard Gabriel whisper "you hurt him and I swear to make your life a living hell."
Dean didn't even have time to process what he just heard nor reply when Gab smiled widely and yelled "HAVE FUN AND DON'T FORGET TO USE PROTECTION LIL BRO" to Castiel who flipped him off mouthing fuck you Gab.
"I'm so sorry he ruined the evening you planned Dean" apologised Castiel as Dean got in the Car
"No worries, it's not you fault you have a very very annoying brother. I think I now get why Sammy gets mad sometimes when I deliberately make fun of him in front of his girlfriend"
"Seriously Dean ? Do all brother get a guide titled how to annoy yor siblings when they become big brothers or what ?"
"Yeah we do, along with the class 'how to deal with having your siblings date people 101'.
"You mean there're multiple classes on that particular subject ?" joked Castiel
"Yup exactly, the following course is 'your sibling is engaged, what now? 102' and then you have 'how to deal with your married sibling and their partner 103' and the last one is 'how to be a cool uncle/aunt so that your niece/nephew likes you best 104'. But I still have to take the last two."
"You're funny, I like that" said Castiel lauging, he then looked around to make sure Gabriel was gone " so, what do you say we resume what we were doing right before Gab interrupted us ?"
"And you're straightforward, I like that. I'd love to."
"Great"
"Cool"
"so are we gonna keep talking or are you starting this car so we can go back to my place" said Castiel impatiently.
Dean didn't waste a second and started the car, they kept joking aroung during the car ride back to Castiel's place.
When they got there, Dean stopped the car and turned to face Cas wanting to ask him something but the other man didn't give him time as he leaned in and kissed Dean. After a weird quite uncomfortable making out session Castiel pulled back "So, wanna get inside ? I mean it's not like I'm not appreciating this but we'll be a lot more comfortable inside."
"Not gonna say no that's for sure" They both got out of the car and when Cas unlocked the door and opened it, Dean was amazed at the inside of the house. I was so big and bright with it's high ceiling and huge windows, and that was just the entrance.
"You know, I can leave you here with the ceiling if you want to have a private moment" sassed him Castiel.
"Dude, didn't know you were that sassy" grinned Dean as he looked back at the other man "please lead the way"
"There are A LOT of things you don't know about me Dean" told him Cas as he walked towards the living room
"Well, I think it'd be pretty easy to find out stuff about you, all the info is just a google search away"
"Please don't" said Castiel as his eyes widened in horror "I'd say that 90% of things online are completely false or twisted words. Seriously, I stopped looking after a while because it's infuriating more than anything else."
"Yeah I can imagine. But don't worry, I'm not really one for gossip magazines and shit like that."
"You kinda get used to it and I have people making taking care of it for me which is pretty nice. The thing I don't understand is how can people believe any of the things they say, I mean according to rumours and "secret sources" I've been with five different people in the past year. Like come on, I'm not a fuckboy like Gab !" Castiel sighed "Anyway, I'm being a bad host, make yourself comfortable I'm just gonna grab drink, is wine okay with you ?"
"Sure" responded Dean as Castiel head into his kitchen, when he came back to the living room with a bottle of wine and two glasses, when he came back, Dean was checking out his dvd collection
"I wasn't expecting that !" exclaimed Dean pointing the DVDs "I mean, I don't even understand most of the titles, is that French or something ?"
"Yes, those are French films ! What were you excepting then Dean ?"
"I don't know, something more like the kind of movies you star in, the type of movies my sister in-law to be is really into like rom-com and stuff"
"I did a lot of rom-com but I'm trying to change style now" said Castiel pensively "and try other things to further my career"
When they sat on the couch, Castiel opened the bottle of wine and poured the glasses, only then Dean saw the bottle and realised that it had to be some expensive and very fancy red wine. For the second time that evening he noticed that he was quite foreign to Castiel's world and that it won't work between them apart in some alternate universe where none of them is a famous Hollywood superstar who buy fancy-ass red wine that's probably from France because it has a tiny French flag on it. He was actually starting to freak out and just wanted to leave right now and never see Castiel again but before he could act on his flight instinct Castiel cut his destructive train of thoughts when he handed him his glass
"Here you go Dean"
"Thanks Cas, wow, that looks fancy !" well played Winchester, you sounded like the least chill person in the whole universe
"Kind of, it's a red wine from Bordeaux in France. A friend of mine send me a whole box for my birthday. I mean, I don't drink that often so I don't know how much time it'll take me to finish the whole box that contained like 12 bottles, although I'm pretty sure Gab took a few."
"So what's the deal with you and French ? Are you partially french or something ?"
"Not really, I've just always been fascinated with the language and the culture. I took French in college and I actually studied abroad there for two years."
"You went to college, wow, I mean it's not like I haven't noticed that you're super articulated and probably smarter than everyone in the business gives you credit but let's just say that actors don't really have a reputation as being smart people."
"And you are completely right, I sometimes even wonder why I chose acting as a profession when I'm at Galas and have to converse with fellow actors and other celebrities but when I'm on set I just forget all of it and get to be myself you know. It's a very weird thing to explain but I really love acting, it's like being a kid all over again and playing pretend with your siblings and friends, you get to be whoever you want to be and it's all kinds of awesome !"
Castiel was so passionate when he talked about the things he loved and Dean really could see that in his sparkling eyes. He was really loving the look on the other man's face and wouldn't mind seeing more of that in the future and really getting to know him altogether.
"You must probably feel the same way about teaching I suppose if you're doing it"
"Yes I do. When I was a kid I was never really a good student, always late, never doing my homework, hadn't the best grades because I just didn't care and unlike my younger brother I never really wanted to go to college. But then freshman year of high school I got this amazing science teacher who didn't buy any of my shit and told me to basically suck it up and not waste my future trying to be a "cool kid" cause that attitude will get me nowhere. And obviously as the stupid angsty teenager I was I didn't listen and ended up failing his class. My aunt forced me to go to summer classes and that was my worst nightmare, spending most of my summer at school studying science. At some point in the second week I actually started doing the work and miraculously when I listen and studied a bit, I actually understood chemistry and all of a sudden it wasn't this horrible thing anymore, it's was simple in fact. Then he told me that if I had regularly studied all year long and paid the tiniest bit of attention, I wouldn't have failed his class and would probably get in a great college if I tried to. He didn't give up on me, or any of his students. He loved his work and loved teaching and I want to be that teacher to my students, the one who makes math a little more fun and makes them want to believe in themselves." He paused contemplating the glass of wine he was holding "And I really hope I somewhat approached that. Even though I have to admit they do get on my nerves, a lot, but I can still relate to them because I was just like them, yeah sure it was a long time ago, but angsty teenagers who are mad at the world are all the same no matter when"
"Well, I can't tell you for sure whether Claire likes you or not but I'm pretty sure I've heard her yell fuck you at her math homework the other day so" he then proceeds to laugh and grin at Dean.
"If it were up to me they'd be no homework but I unfortunately am not the one in charge of education in this country. I mean, all the teachers know it pretty flawed but we can't really do much about it. But Claire doesn't have much to worry about, she's one of the best students in her class. She probably gets that from you" he added with a wink
"Well technically no but I have to say that math always was one of my favourite subject when I was in school. I even studied math as a minor in college"
"No way ! Is there something you can't do or what ? You're like a multitalented prodigy !"
They kept talking about college and life and before they even knew it, it was 1am abd they had finished a bottle of wine and two beers and were starting to feel tipsy.
"Oh man time really does flies by when you're having fun" exclaimed Dean after he noticed how late it was "I should probably head home now". He got up to grab his coat but then Cas stopped him
"I can't let you drive in your current state Dean, you're drunk !"
"Am not, but yeah, it's probably a wise idea. Let me just grab my phone to call a cab" He slid his hand toward his back pocket to get his phone when Castiel stopped him by grabbing his hand
"Or you could just stay here, I mean, unless you have to be somewhere tomorrow morning"
"I'm totally free, yup, free like the wind"
"great"
"cool"
Castiel lead the way to his room
"oh before we get in there I have to tell you something" said Dean when they got to Castiel's bedroom "I have this rule about sex on the first date"
"Yeah, what about it ?"
"I don't do it"
"How so ?"
"I don't know, I just made it up now and it's mostly because I'm fucking exhausted and my performance will be mediocre and I should probably stop talking right now cause I'm embarrassing myself"
Castiel was laughing and shaking his head "you're such a dork, come on, let's get you to bed".
Castiel put on a pair of pyjama bottom because even though they were past that point, he still wanted to have this barrier between them and respect Dean's wish, the other man didn't really care and just stripped down, he was just in his underwear.
When he came back from the bathroom after brushing his teeth, Dean was already sound asleep under the cover and looked very peaceful lying there on his bed, it was quite a nice sight.
When he opened his eyes he didn't immediately recognise the place and this was definitely not his bed, it was actually was more comfortable and the sheet had a nice flowery smell. He was blinded by the sun streaming through the huge windows and everything was way too bright for his liking, he just wanted to go back to sleep. He turned around in the bed, he was alone, and then everything came back to him. This is Castiel's bedroom, he slept in Cas bed, but they didn't have sex, oh shit that's so embarrassing why did I have to say every thought that came to my mind out loud. Well, maybe it was for the best that they didn't sleep together the previous night, who knows. He was still looking around the room and taking it all in when a door he hadn't previously noticed, in the far left corner of the room from the bed opened and Castiel came out of it with just a towel around his hips and another one in his hand that he was using to dry his hair.
"Hey there, good morning. Did you sleep well ?"
"Dude your mattress is the bomb, I might steal it" said Dean as he laid back in enjoying the comfort, it was like sleeping on angel's feathers, if angels even had feathers.
"or you could just come back here" said Castiel in a very very sexy voice as he crawled back in bed "and sleep in it", and that did it for Dean who was now fully awake and turned on. Castiel was almost on top of Dean and he certainly didn't mind one bit where this was going
"So do you still consider this to be part of our first date" asked him Castiel just a few inches apart
"Technically it is yeah, why ?"
Castiel backed away a bit "Sorry then, we'll have to report this to later then, although I'm quite sorry to do so since I was quite looking forward to it" he told him with a mischievous grin
"Are you fucking serious, come back here" laughed Dean as he pulled Castiel closer by holding the towel around his hips, he flipped Cas on his back and was now on top of him
"You're not going anywhere" Told him Dean
"Oh I don't intend to, not before I finish you off" Dean didn't need to hear anymore as he crushed their mouths in a passionate hot kiss. They were kissing and grinding each other, hands caressing everywhere they could reach, needless to say that Cas' towel was long gone and Dean didn't lose anytime in touching him all over the place and stroking his boner.
Castiel brought his hand down Dean's back and slid it into his underwear, he needed more contact and wanted to feel all of Dean. His hand was completely inside Dean's boxer cupping the other man's butt when his bedroom door opened and none other than Claire came in
"Hey sorry to wake you but did you … OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY AAAAA" she ran outside the room yelling.
Both Dean and Cas didn't move nor say anything, they didn't know what to do and it was probably one of the most awkward situations in their whole lives. Castiel quickly got up and put his dirty pyjama bottom that were lying on the ground, he opened his drawer and threw a tshirt and pants at Dean.
"Oh god, what are we gonna do that is literally the worst thing that could ever happen" said Castiel as he was putting his shirt back on
"Well at least she didn't see my face so that mean she doesn't know that it was me, I could just hide in your bathroom and sneak out of the back. Wait, was she here the whole time yesterday ?"
"No ! I wouldn't have brought you back here if it was the case. She was supposed to come home in the afternoon. She was at a slumber party at one of her team mates' house. Anyway, stay in here and don't go anywhere, I mean, you can go take a shower as long as you don't leave this room. I'll be right back"
Castiel stormed out of the room and went to Claire's, he was in front of her door and didn't really know what to do so he just paced for a while trying to build up the courage to get in. It's not like he had already had the awkward conversations you're supposed to have with kids when they become teenagers, he never had to do those. He was probably pacing too loudly since Claire heard him and opened the door to look at him clearly judging.
"You know, locks exist for a reason"
"I didn't think you'd be home for another few hours"
"Well we decided to go to the beach so I came back to get my stuff"
"They why did you come looking for it in my room ?"
"Are you serious ? Is that all you have to say to me after I caught you NAKED with ANOTHER PERSON IN YOU BED AND WITH YOUR HAND ON HIS ASS"
"Ok ok I get it. Look I'm sorry ok, it won't happen ever again. From now on, no bringing anyone home"
"not even MY fucking MATH TEACHER ?"
"WOW language ! And what the hell are you on about ?"
"Come on, don't play dumb with me I'm not two ok, I saw mr Winchester's car outside. That's why I came in your room to ask you whose car it was. Everyone know Mr. Winchester's car, she's iconic. He even call her baby"
"oh fuck" muttered Cas to himself, he had really fucked things up
"yeah she is, my baby is the hottest car around hands down" said Dean who was clearly eavesdropping
"What the hell Dean, I told you to stay there" well at least he was completely dressed
"Sorry Cas, I couldn't help but hear your conversation and it's not like you were whispering or anything"
"Oh my god you called him Dean" she said looking incredulously at her uncle "and you called him cas ? Oh my god this is a fucking nightmare, please god tell me it's a nightmare and I'm just gonna wake up in Alex's basement with the other girls"
"ahhhh" sight Castiel "I'm sorry about this mess Claire" he turned to face Dean "You should probably go now, I'll call you later"
"Yup, sounds like a good plan"
"noo no no, nobody's leaving before we sort this mess out" said Claire looking at both men "Living room in five, I just need to use the bathroom first. Oh and you" she said pointing out her uncle "You better put your shirt back right and sort your hair cause you have a look that I never want to see again in my whole life cause that's so gross"
"She's right, your hair screams "sex hair" and I have to say I like this look on you" commented Dean when Claire was out of earshot.
"Stop fooling around Dean, this is serious. It could jeopardise your career, isn't there like a rule that forbids teachers from their student's parents or something?"
"So we're dating now ?" Dean wiggled his eyebrows, grinning at Cas who just glared at him "okok no need to stare at me like that I was just trying to lighten the atmosphere. I mean it's not really a rule but more of a suggestion. As long as I don't play favourite or anything it should be fine. Besides, the school doesn't have to know"
"So, how long has this been going on for?"
"Like two weeks kind of. Remember when I went out with Gab after you told him I needed to get laid? Well…"
"You mean that's the mysterious hot guy you slept with… oh my god…." Claire was holding her head "karma's a fucking bitch"
"wait what ? you mean that we" Dean looked over at Claire "you know, because she asked your evil brother to get you laid ? Oh man this is priceless"
"Yeah yeah whatever, like seriously, of all the people living in LA that you could've slept with, what are the odds of it being my math teacher this is just awful"
"Oh that would make a fun probabilities problem"
Both Cas and Claire glared at Dean
"What ?" he said innocently "I'm just trying to lighten the mood cause it's getting really awkward in here"
"Ugh, you know what ? I take everything I said before back, I don't want to talk about this and we don't need to sort anything out. Let's just pretend it never happened and go back to living out lives like normal"
"As much as I'd like to pretend that what happened earlier never did, we can't really do that"
"Yes I agree with your uncle Claire. We'll have to see each other several times a week in a classroom and probably outside of it too so we need to put some ground rules."
"Ok, then rule number one, no talking to me about each other. I don't want to hear about anything, I don't even want to hear you mention each other's names is that clear ?"
Even though it was a very strict rule that was probably going to be broken at some point or another, just like most of the other rules Claire came up with, both Dean and Cas blindly agreed to them for her sake. It'll probably take her a long time to adjust to them seeing each other and nobody is sure whether it's gonna last or not.
