Road To Nowhere – Talking Heads

Dusk was falling by the time Dean pulled off of the road in yet another nondescript back water town, pulling into the local motel parking lot. Looking over at Castiel he saw that he had a quizzical expression on his face as wondering what Dean was up to now.

"I thought we could stop here for the night." Dean explained as he got out of the car.

"Very well Dean." Castiel replied not getting out. Dean just shook his head at him and shut the driver's door, leaving Castiel in the car as he went to the front desk to see if he could get a twin room for them. He had come to the realisation that Castiel had no money and he didn't mind sharing with the guy. He had shared enough rooms with Sam in his life time that it didn't really bother him. He just hoped Castiel didn't mind.

"Okay Castiel. let's go." He said grabbing his bag from the trunk and nodding in the direction of their room. Castiel quickly scrabbled out of the car and followed him. He wasn't sure what to expect from this place. He had watched Dean sleep in them from a distance but he had never seen one up close. Upon entering the room his eyes widened at the residual smells of the room and nasty aesthetics of the place.

"Yeah I know. Could do with some decorating right?" Dean smirked when he caught sight of Castiel's face. He guessed that the guy hadn't experienced a motel room before. Or at least not that he could remember. Oh well if he was traveling with Dean he would have to get used to it. Dean couldn't afford any fancy hotels when he was on the road.

Castiel cautiously made his way over to the bed that Dean hadn't put his bag on and sat down on the very edge watching Deans every movement. If he was to behave more human he would need to see what one did. And who better to observe up close than Dean Winchester, the one he was trying to pair off? The first thing he noticed was that Dean seemed to have different clothes in his bag. Castiel himself had not considered the need to change his outfit when he had come down here. He had after all no need to as an angel. But if he was to be human he would probably have to do that. And that meant he would needs some clothes. He then watched Dean pull out his toothbrush and bath stuff and Castiel realised that he was going to have to shower. He would therefore need some of that stuff too. With a sigh he looked down at his hands. It was a lot more complicated to pretend to be human than he had first thought. They seemed to need so much stuff.

Dean was busy unpacking, or as much as he did when he only planned to stay the night somewhere, when he realised that Castiel was just sitting there watching him.

"Do you have any stuff Cas?" He asked in exasperation. He really couldn't afford to feed and clothe the guy.

"Cas?" his travelling companion asked tilting his head at Dean.

"Yeah it's short for Castiel? I mean you're names a bit of a mouthful." Dean replied with a roll of his eyes. Wasn't that obvious?

"So it is a nickname." Cas said with understanding.

"Yeah. Now stuff, change of clothes, shower stuff. Do you have any?" Dean asked again. Damn this was like getting blood out of a stone.

"I do not." Castiel replied.

"Awesome." Dean sarcastically responded running his hand through his hair. How was he going to sort this out?

Castiel watched Dean, he seemed frustrated maybe he could help.

"I could call my brother and get him to bring some stuff for me." he said cautiously, hoping Gabriel would respond.

"Would he be able to get here in time?" Dean asked hopefully.

"I'm sure that he would." Castiel replied hoping it was true.

"Okay give him a call." Dean said holding out his cell for Cas.

Castiel just stared at phone as if it was a contraption from outer space.

"You need a phone to call him?" Dean said in exasperation.

"Yes Dean." Castiel replied taking the phone. In truth he did not need it to contact Gabriel.

"Tell me you know his number?" Dean almost begged in weariness.

"I do. I think I will call from outside if you do not mind." Castiel replied standing, still holding the phone as if it might blow up at any second.

Once outside Castiel closed his eyes and called his brother.

"Gabriel. Please I require your assistance." he said across the mental link all angel's shared.

"And what can I do for my favourite little brother today?" Gabriel asked appearing beside him.

"I am trying to appear human but I do not have any of the 'stuff' they need." Castiel explained, using finger quotes so that Gabriel would understand better.
At that Gabriel clicked his fingers and there at Castiel's feet appeared a bag.

"Anything else?" Gabriel asked smugly.

"I can't just go back inside with the bag. I will need you to bring it to me. And you need me to come in a car." Castiel said frowning, hoping he hadn't forgotten anything.

"You mean you need me to play human as well?" Gabriel asked with wide eyes.

"Just to drop off the bag. I do not want to give Dean a reason to leave me. I have a job to do, and this was your idea if you recall." Castiel said plainly.

"Fine, you win. I'll bring it round tomorrow morning like a good human big brother okay?" Gabriel finally agreed with a roll of his eyes. If he wasn't so desperate to get Dean Winchester off their books there was no way he would do it.

"Thank you Gabriel. I will see you then." Castiel said with a smile, turning to return to the room and tell Dean the plan.
