Still Get Jealous

Two

"With who?!" Sam asked more aggressively than planned.

"Crowley."

Sam paused for a moment, speechless. "You have got to be kidding me. Seriously, Crowley? Like Crowley."

"Yes, Sam. Crowley. Why is that so surprising?"

Sam just casually shrugged. "I just figured you had a little more standards than that."

"You're such an ass. Goodbye." Cas went to walk away, but Sam jerked him back down.

"I'm not trying to be rude. It's just that I liked you and Dean together. But if Crowley makes you happy then I'm happy for you." Sam said. "Just don't use him to distract yourself from my brother or anything like that. I think you two deserve each other."

Cas sighed. "I don't have to distract myself from your brother, Sam. I'm fine with or without him. Why did you ask anyway?"

"He's been hopelessly in love with you since day one. I think being apart only makes that blatantly obvious to him." Sam looked down at the table when he said that. "He's just sad and it makes me sad sometimes."

"Look, Sam-"

"I'm not trying to guilt trip you into dating him. It's kinda what I feel like I'm doing and I just wanted you to know I wasn't."

Cas smiled and patted his shoulder. "Look Sam, I know what you're saying. I haven't given up on your brother. And in the end if there's a chance to work things out, I will. I'm just taking other chances right now. Okay?"

"Okay. Thank you. I mean for everything. Even if you and Dean don't work out you've still given him some of his best memories."

Cas smiled slightly. "Yeah, and the same for me. You guys have definitely made an impact on my life. I promise I'll always be here. For both of you."

"Thanks Cas, but I think your boyfriend wants you. He's giving me the evil eye."

"He's not my boyfriend yet. We're just friends at the moment."

Sam chuckled as Cas stood up. "I like it better way though."

"Of course you would. I'll see you around kiddo." Cas said with a chuckle as he walked away.

Sam glared at him as he sat down. "He called me kiddo." He said to himself.

Sam sat on his own for the rest of the period, waiting for the bell to ring for lunch. He wasn't excited to see Dean. He felt bad for even talking to Cas about it now. He just wasn't expecting Cas to be seeing someone. Especially not Crowley.

As he approached Dean at the lunch table he could see his hopeful look. "Hey, what's up?"

"Its school, Sammy. It doesn't change. Anything new with you?"

Sam knew what Dean was hinting at. "Yeah, I talked to Cas."

"And??" Dean leaned forward.

"Well he doesn't hate you."

"But?"

"But he's not exactly single at the moment."

Dean stared at him. "Excuse me?"

"He's, and I quote, 'in the pre relationship stage with Crowley."

"Excuse me?!"

Sam frowned. "I hate it just as much as you do."

Dean shook his head. "I don't even believe you."

Sam pointed behind him. "Believe that."

Dean turned around to see Cas and Crowley at the table behind them. Crowley was way to close to him for Dean to be comfortable with it. And Crowley's hand was on his arm. Which really irritated Dean.

Dean spun around as quick as he could. "Oh. Ha. Fuck that. Nope. Not mad. Not mad at all. Who the fuck cares man? Not me. Nope."

Jess sat her lunch tray and looked at him curiously. "You okay there Dean?"

"I'm fucking fine!"

Sam pulled out her chair and smiled. "He's just cranky because he saw Cas being a little too friendly with Crowley."

Dean jerked forward and poked a finger into Sam's chest. "No, Crowley was being a bit too friendly with Cas. He could be in agonizing pain right now."

Jess tilted her head and signed. "Awwe, it's like a mad puppy."

"Screw everyone." Dean shoved a fry in his mouth and growled lowly.

"He'll be okay, he's just cranky right now." Sam said to Jess.

"I can see that," she said with a giggle.

Dean was surprisingly the first in Mr. Elliot's room for science. He watched the students file in, keeping and eye out for Cas.

He saw him standing by the door with Crowley, laughing at whatever was said. Dean scowled as Crowley leaned close and kissed his cheek.

Dean scowled at them. "Really? Fucking seriously. That's supposed to be my job. God, I hate him."

Cas walked over with a smile and sat next to Dean. "What's wrong today, grumpy?"

"Nothing."

"Oh, come on. Tell me."

Dean spun around to face him. "No. It's not important. It's stupid. I shouldn't be mad that Crowley kissed you. It shouldn't bother me. So I shall just mull it over myself, thanks."

Cas chuckled slightly. "Are..are you jealous?"

"No."

"You are! Wow, and if ever I told someone this they'd tell me I was crazy. Dean Winchester is actually jealous." Cas smiled. "I think it's cute."

"Please stop. I know Sam talked to you."

Cas shrugged. "Yeah, and I didn't mind it. I missed talking to you guys."

"Yeah, well I miss talking to you too Cas."

Cas smiled. "Well, we should get to work then, don't ya think?"

Dean groaned. "No, not really," but he open his textbook anyway.

Ayye almost 1550 words whoop whoop. Seriously writing chapters this long is an improvement for me.
