Destiel (Highschool AU) I Like You...a Lot

Chapter 5

Dean's P.O.V.

I walked into the janitors closet, not really sure on what to say, "cas?" i asked. Cas looked up at me. His eyes were red and his cheeks were all wet, but that's not the thing i noticed first about him, what i noticed was how his normally bright blue eyes were clouded and it made me speechless, until i heard his broken voice "close the door, if your going to hate me i would not like anyone to hear it." i did not know what he was talking about "what?" i asked him he buried his face into his knees again, i heard him mumble "just get it over with." i was still confused 'what did he want me to do?' i thought. "get what over with?" i asked he looked up at me and i saw the fire in his eyes "go ahead hate me!! tell me i'm a faggot!! that i'm going to burn in hell!! make jokes about me!! i don't care!! just get it over with!!" suddenly my heart broke i realized that he was broken inside and that i want- no needed to help him. He was just like my childhood friend charlie, she tells me all the time on the mean things people do to her when they find out that shes gay. i think it is horrible nobody should be treated like that just because of the gender they like. I felt so bad for cas that i need him to know that i do not hate him, i saw cas close his eyes and breath, i knew how to tell him, i quickly leaned in and gave cas a big hug, he tensed up at first, but after he found out i would't let go he hugged back lightly. i smiled at this and pulled away from the hug "cas i would not hate you because your gay, i have a childhood friend, named charlie, she's gay too, and she tells me all the horrible things people do to her, all the names they call her and i feel so bad for her, look crowley is a jerk and i want to help you ok?" cas looked shock but he nodded his head i had an idea to help cas. "cas i know i just met you, but here" i pulled out a pen and paper and wrote down my number and handed it to him, he took it. "if anything ever happens and you need to talk, please don't hesitate to call me ok?" i asked him looking into his eyes. he nodded his head. it became silent until he spoke again "dean?" "yeah?" i answered him "did you just call me cas?" i smiled "well Castiel is a long name, and i thought cas was a good nickname, is it ok if i call you cas?" he nodded again and asked again "dean?" "yeah?" i answered back "does this mean we are friends?" i laughed at this "yeah cas, now c'mon, i don't think either of us want to stay in this school any longer so, do you want to skip?" i asked kind of hesitant i did not think cas was the type to 'skip school'. he smiled and nodded his head and my stomach flew with butterfly's 'don't think about him like that, cas is your friend, AND THAT'S IT!!' i thought to myself, although their was a voice in the back of my head that disagreed but i shook that voice away and walked out the school's front doors with cas. "just so you know we have to come back for my little brother sammy after school, maybe you can meet him then." i said, while smiling. cas smiled and said "sure, it would be my pleasure to meet him, i have to be back too, for my little brother gabe." "then it's settled" i said "he will hang out until school's over, and the teacher will never know because we got to do the tour thing or whatever, then we will come back for our little brothers, sound good?" i asked cas while we were walking. he turned to me with his head cocked to the side and his eyes squinted 'god, hes adorable when he does that, no!! no!! don't think like that!!!' i thought "dean?" he asked me "yeah?" i answered "where are we going?" i looked away from him to look around and i had no idea, we were standing in front of my car, so i asked him "do you want to go anywhere specific?" he shook his head then i thought to myself, we should go somewhere we both never have been before, i'm feeling adventurous i thought of this forest, that we passed by on the way to school this morning, i wonder what's in that forest? it's a short drive and we have lots of time so why not? "i got an idea, get in" i told cas, he raised an eyebrow "why? where are we going?" i looked back at him while getting in my car "to a place i saw when we were driving to school this morning, i think it's a really peaceful place, wanna check it out with me? i have never seen it before" he smiled and nodded his head. we both got in the car and i started driving.

Castiel's P.O.V.

we drove for a little while and after a little bit we were surrounded by trees, even though i had no idea where we were going i trusted him. while driving we basically had a game of 20 questions going on "where are you from?" i asked him "Lawrence Kansas, you?" he answered "Pontiac Illinois, why did you move here?" i asked him "our dad moves around a lot, and we have to go with him, it sucks but soon i will be 18 and i will be able to take care of sammy by myself and we could live in one town and finish school." i nodded my head "are you going to stay in this town?" dean grinned "why? would you miss me?" i felt my face heat up and i laughed awkwardly "n-no.." dean looked at me with a fake hurt look on his face "ouch" he said and grinned at me "n-no!! t-that's not what i meant i-i m-meant that i will b-because your my only f-friend." i looked away from dean and mentally slapped myself 'STUPID!! STUPID!! STUPID!!! why would you say that, it makes you sound so pathetic like you need him??' i looked back and he was smiling big "well maybe i will stay in this town, how else am i going to kick crowley's ass huh?" he nudged my arm and laughed, i laughed with him "besides it really depends if sammy likes this town, hes the one i want to keep happy." i nodded my head and smiled 'wow' i thought 'he really cares about his brother' "what's your family like? like your mom and dad?" dean's smile faded away and he turned his face and i could tell i said something wrong "u-um sorry" i said "i didn't mean to be rude" he looked at me "no it's fine, my uh- my mom died when sammy was 6 months old in a house fire, and my dad is a drunk asshole who left me to take care of sammy when our mom died and he dragged us across the country, not caring what we had to say about it." he answered back, neither of us were smiling. he looked away again and it looked like he was about to cry, i could tell. "dean...i'm so sorry, you didn't have to tell me that" he looked at me and i could see the sadness, the hatred, and loneliness in his eyes. "sorry for ruining the moment" he smiled a little and laughed but i could tell he was just covering up his feelings, but i smiled with him anyway. "would like to hear about my family?" i asked him 'i can't believe i'm doing this, i'm going to tell him about my family, if hes really my friend, he won't hate me, he won't hate me, he won't hate me...will he? oh well too late now' "sure, but you don't have to just because i talked about mine" dean said i shook my head "no it's ok, i don't mind telling you, i mean you are kind of my only friend, as pathetic as that sounds." he smiles and laughs a little and i laugh with him. "ok so first off i have 3 brothers Lucifer, Micheal, and you know Gabe, and 1 sister, Anna. We live with my uncle Urial because our mom died giving birth to me and our dad walked out on us, my uncle thinks it's my fault that my mom's dead and he hates me for it, hes very religious and makes us go to church every Sunday and we are forced to pray before meals and we have to read the bible everyday. my uncle Urial does not know i'm gay, luckily, or else my he would...would have a heart attack and probably kick me out." dean nodded and i continued "the only one who knows is gabe and he does not hate me for it and i love him for that, Micheal and Lucifer don't know, they are always too busy arguing to notice anything like that, and my sister Anna is never home but she knows, she doesn't care though. so yeah...that's basically it.." i said i took a deep breath and looked at dean he looked right into my eyes and then look away quickly and smiled "we're here!! look!!" he said with joy in his voice i looked around and gasped in aw. i saw a big clear pond surrounded by beautiful trees and one willow tree right by the river their were many blossom trees nearby and since the wind blows this time of the year their were flowers dancing in the sky with leaves as well, their was no civilization for at least a mile away, it was so peaceful, no cars, no people, just nature, i loved it. "hey dean?" i asked during the silence "i know you found this place first, but could i go here if i ever need to think? the janitors closet gets kind of cramped sometimes." i asked with a grin on my face " cas this is not my place, i had no idea this was here i just saw the forest...of course you can come here, this will be OUR place, only we can come here to think ok? nobody else" i smiled big and looked at dean "ok dean, our place" we smiled at eachother and got out of the car and sat down under the willow tree. we were pretty quiet, neither of us wanted to ruin the peaceful silence, it was not awkward it was nice, knowing that i just told someone about my family and they don't hate me makes me happy. 'i think i like this Winchester boy' i thought to myself.
