Hello all. I am very sorry about the long time it has taken for me to update. I was finishing off one of my other stories but I back now. I would like to thank Hllo-Beastie from the wonderful review. I would also like to thank those of you who have followed and favoured since my last update.

So here is the next chapter I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own supernatural.

Watching his passenger, Castiel, Dean came to some startling discoveries. This man was unlike any he had ever met before. He was fascinated in the strangest things. First it was the feel of the leather seats under his fingers, and then once Dean was driving he was constantly looking out the window smiling at the scenery as they drove by as if it was the most miraculous thing ever. And then there was his response to the wind through the open window. Once he had worked out how to open it, (and who did know how to open a window?) he had sat back, his eyes going wide in delight as it rushed over him. And the faster Dean went, the more he seemed to enjoy it. Dean almost expected him to start shrieking with joy. But he wouldn't do that would he? I mean the guy was a grown ass man. And yet, watching him as closing as driving would allow Dean came to the conclusion that while he may be a man on the outside, this guy was like an innocent child inside. Taking pleasure and joy in the simple things that most men his age were too jaded to even notice. But sitting next to him in the car Dean realised that when Castiel got that look of wonder on his face he had to see if he could spot what had put it there. And in doing so Dean started, for the first time in a long time to see the world around him in a different light.

Castiel was fascinated by being here. He had watched earth from heaven for millennia but he had not been down here in thousands of years. And back then they most certainly did not have automobiles. It was strange to him to sit there and yet be moving. Not fast, at least not by angels standards. But fast enough that on occasion Castiel could think he was taking a slow lazy flight through the landscape. Also the trees and nature were so different up close. And seeing as he was travelling as a passenger he had the luxury to enjoy it. He saw birds and animals in the woods all around them and when he opened his window he felt the wind on his face, it was perfect. This trip was perfect. With a sigh and a happy smile on his face he relaxed back into his seat. Yes he was there to do a job. But there was not much he could do for Dean while the man drove, and as such Castiel was going to enjoy this first experience of this modern humanity.

Dean finally pulled off the road as they reached a small back water town as he needed to fill the tank with gas and get some food. He was just planning on grabbing something from the gas station, but then he looked over at his new travelling companion and he wondered almost absently what sort of enjoyment this guy would get from food. And for some reason he couldn't fathom Dean really wanted to know. With that in mind he filled the tank and then pulled the car over by the local diner.

"Right lets go get some food. I'm starving." He said to the man next to.

Castiel turned to look at him confused. "But Dean. I do not need to eat."

"What? Course you do. All people need to eat Castiel." Dean replied looking at him as if he was crazy before the reason behind Castiel not wanting to eat dawned on him. How could he have been so stupid? "Hey look man I'm paying, so come keep me company?" He smiled.

Castiel looked at Dean and smiled in return. He couldn't not. But he still did not understand why he would have to eat. Though as he was pretending to be a human he should probably try and adapt some of their ways. Including eating, sleeping and washing. There were other things he would need to learn he was sure. But he could pick them up as he went along.

"Very well Dean." Castiel replied getting out of the car and following his charge into the diner.

Dean sat at one of the booths by the window so he could keep an eye on his baby while they ate.

The waitress who came to serve them was very pretty, a fact that was not lost on Dean, he therefore flirted with her as he did with all the pretty women he met on his travels. It didn't mean anything. It was just what he did.

Castiel watched his charge flirt but didn't get his hopes up. He had seen this man do this so many times that he knew that to Dean it was as natural as breathing. Breathing, hmm, he would have to do that too now he was 'being human'. With that thought he turned to his menu in confusion. He had no idea what to order. To be honest he had no real idea of what any of it was.

"I'll have a loaded burger and fires and a soda." Dean said smiling at the waitress who flirted back as she took his order. Then they both turned their eyes on Castiel.

"What about you love?" the waitress asked him.

Castiel gulped he really had no idea and so went for the easiest option he could see. "I'll take the same as Dean, thank you."

"Okay I'll go get that for you." And with that the waitress left leaving Dean staring at his new travelling companion. He frowned, when the waitress asked what he wanted he saw the slight panic in the guy's eyes. Dean was starting to wonder if there was something wrong with the guy.

Castiel sat there as Dean securitized him. He could work out what Dean was thinking. He wasn't acting human, he needed to come up with a reason to explain his behaviour. A reason Dean would expect. Then it hit him.

"I'm sorry Dean but I should have told you." Castiel said not looking his charge in the eye. He was not a very good liar and he didn't want Dean to see through him. Humans were not supposed to know that angels existed.

"Told me what?" Dean asked with a frown, confused now.

"I have no memories of my previous personal experiences. Before." Castiel said, trying his best to explain why it all seemed new without actually saying anything.

"Before what?" Dean asked wondering what had happened to Castiel to make him forget his life.

"Before we met." Castiel replied with a shrug hoping Dean would leave it at that.

"What?! You should go to the hospital of something." Dean screeched starting to rise.

"No I am fine. Truly. But everything seems like the first time I have experienced it." Castiel said quickly grabbing on to Deans arm to prevent him from leaving.

"Na man, I'm taking you to the hospital." Dean replied trying to pull himself away from Castiel but found it extremely hard. Wow that guy was strong.

"I've been Dean. I am fine. Just new to all this." Castiel explained with a shrug and finally looking Dean in the eyes. It was true he was new to it all.

"Okay, if you say so, okay. But don't you have family looking for you or something?" Dean finally sat as he spoke, having been convinced by the look in Castiel's eyes that he spoke the truth and he truly was fine.

"My family knows where I am and they are happy for me to be here." Castiel replied with a smile still staring into Dean's eyes without blinking.

"Right so you're just planning to travel round, getting lifts from different people and your family are happy with that?" Dean asked in disbelief, what sort of family would be happy for anyone to do that?

"Well no. I was hoping that I could come along with you." Castiel replied sincerely though there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"Oh." Was all Dean could think to say.

It was then that there food arrived interrupting the conversation. Dean sat eating his burger, enjoying the taste and watching Castiel try to eat his. Yeah it was definitely the first time he had tried to eat one of those he thought smugly as the filling fell out onto Castiel's plate. But wasn't it a bit weird? A guy with no memories just wondering around? And that he wanted to tag along with him? I mean he was nothing special. Yeah okay he also wasn't a serial killer but Castiel didn't know that. And if he was this trusting with Dean and he left him somewhere and he ended up with someone else who was a serial killer then it would be all Deans fault for leaving him in the first place. With a sigh Dean realised that he had made his decision. Though it was probably a stupid one.

"Fine you can come with me." He finally said once they had finished their food. With that sentence Castiel looked up at him with a big smile on his face.

"Thank you Dean." He said. And then they left the diner returning to Dean's car and pulling out of the town and away. Back onto the road, heading in the general direction that Sam lived in.
