Disclaimer: I don't own SPN.
I got my own car! :D That's right – I have my very own Baby! Granted, it's our old car that my mum gave me when she got her new one but Baby's got character (namely a massive battle scar/dent in the back) and I love her and I get to drive her tonight during my driving lesson! I'M SO HAPPY! Now all I need is a 'driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole' thing to put somewhere…
So I haven't read this infamous fanfiction (mostly because my best friend flips out and screams at me until I promise not to touch it and because I live near the beach and don't need that sort of trauma) but I do know what happens, so this is going to be like the SW prompt.
Thanks to mollienaturerocks, RangerHorseTug, masterjediratgrl31 and Bipi for your reviews! :)
51. Promise
Dean knew that something was wrong with Cas when his angel refused to leave him alone. When he went to the bathroom, Cas waited for him outside; when he took a shower, Cas joined him (not that he was complaining); and when they went to bed, Cas wrapped his arms around Dean, pulled him close and refused to let him go. Dean didn't dislike the massive influx of attention from Cas but he also knew that Cas was never this clingy. He was a warrior! He used to be an angel! This codependency and clinginess was starting to scare Dean.
Finally, when even Sam and Rose noticed, Dean knew that he had to confront Cas. Once lunch had been eaten, Dena shot a significant look at Sam and Rose until they took the hint and made themselves scarce. He then turned to Cas, whose chair was pushed right up to Dean's so that he could snuggle into Dean as best as possible, and cleared his throat.
"Cas," he said awkwardly to his angel, who was staring at him. "We've gotta talk about this."
"Talk about what, Dean?" Cas continued to stare at him.
"This…this clinginess." Dean waved a hand vaguely. "It isn't you, Cas. You're not codependent. What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, Dean. I merely enjoy spending time with you."
Dean gave Cas a sceptical look.
"Not like this. C'mon, Cas. Tell me what's up."
Dean took Cas' hand. Cas looked away for a moment and sighed.
"I was browsing the internet," he began, "and I searched for 'fanfictions' of 'Destiel' out of curiosity. I wished to see what people thought of our 'fictional' relationship."
Dean groaned to himself.
"I chanced upon a highly popular and recommended story called Twist and Shout and decided to read it. And…and…"
Cas paused, his mouth working.
"The ending was highly tragic," he said. "And the Dean in the story…he, well…"
Cas looked down.
"He left the Castiel in the story," he mumbled. "And I know that you will never do that, Dean, but…there is a small part of me that cannot help but wonder, especially after Gadreel possessed Sam and wished for me to leave the bunker…"
Dean winced at the reminder that he had kicked Cas out because of Gadreel. Suddenly, Cas' clinginess made sense; if he thought that there was a chance of Dean leaving him again then it was logical that he would try and not give Dean a chance to do so!
"Come on, Cas." Dean pulled his angel in for a hug. "That was a stupid mistake. I'm never gonna kick you out or leave you again. And that fanfiction doesn't know us if they think there's a chance that I'd leave you!"
Cas looked up at him, his blue eyes wide.
"You won't leave me?" he said quietly. Dean shook his head. "Do you promise?"
Dean smiled softly at Cas and gave him a gentle kiss.
"I promise."
