Cas sat up in bed, rubbing furiously at his eyes. He hadn't seen Dean Winchester in two days. Two days. That's a pretty long time, considering that Dean basically was head over heels for him. Cas wasn't sure how he felt... Do I like him? What am I supposed to say after that night...?
Cas swung his legs over the side of the bed, tugging at the sheets that were tangled around his ankles. He took one swipe through his hair before throwing some clothing on; a simple pair of kaki pants, and a gray sweater vest with a blue tie tucked underneath.
Cas started to walk but stopped with searing pain in his toe. He looked at the object he stubbed it on. It was a plastic container with a note taped to the top.
Cas, do you know what adventure is? Come seek it with me. Go to the diner, skip school, live a little <3
~ Dean
Cas tore the note off and shoved it in his pocket. He gently opened the top of the plastic container, seeing a single pen. It was silver with a ring of gold. In it the letters; C.N. were etched out. Cas slipped the pen inside the plastic container once more.
He grabbed a box under his bed and pulled it out. Inside lay a leather satchel that his older brother, Gabriel had gotten him just before Cas went to college.
He felt the soft material between his fingers, and opened the pack. He stuffed two water bottles in it, his sandwich that was supposed to be for lunch at school, a fruit roll up, his wallet, phone, and the plastic container with the pen inside.
Looking himself down, Cas realized that if he wasn't going to school, he didn't really need to dress up. He threw on a white tshirt and put a gray sweatshirt over top, but didn't change his pants.
Cas closed the door behind him as he walked out, excited, yet nervous, for what's about to happen. He quickly took a detour away from the school and down the side walk towards the diner. The bell rang on the door and a familiar face looked up.
"Hello Castiel!" Mel smiled at him over her glasses. "Are you grabbing breakfast before school?"
Cas panicked a little, not knowing that the old lady would know whether he was skipping school or not. "No.. Uh I'm- I'm waiting for someone... H-He left his studying book at my house and I needed to give it to him. He said he'd be here."
Mel smiled at him and shook her head. She waddled over to him and grabbed his hand in her soft, wrinkly hands. "I know you're skipping school. I know that boy known as Dean is taking you somewhere." She whispered in Cas' ear. She slipped a piece of folded up paper into his hand and winked before walking into the kitchen.
Well done Cas, you've skipped school! Now that you're onto the right track, go to the toy shop. Trust me okay?
~Dean
Cas groaned. A scavenger hunt really, Dean?! Cas trudged out, but kept a good mindset. He wondered down the street.
"Where the hell is the toy store...?" He murmured to himself. Cas tried following directions but ended up by a park. It was in the middle of a bunch of stores so Cas started scanning the names, looking for something that looked like a toy store.
Ace's Toys crossed his vision and he pumped one fist in the air. By now he was running. He felt free now, having fun, the thrill of trying hard to find something was quite entertaining.
He stepped inside the double doors and a man smirked at him. Cas guessed he was in on the hunt so his waved at him. Looking around the store, Cas stumbled into an isle where sitting in the middle was a pink and white bear. It held a little note card that said Cas in bold letters.
Cas smiled and picked it up, turning it over in his hands. There was a little string on the back. Cas pulled it and Dean's voice started playing.
"Cas don't you ever forget that I love you." The bear said through a voice box in its chest.
Cas let out a laugh and squeezed the bear gently, he pushed it into his satchel and walked up to the man at the front.
"How much for the bear?" Cas asked.
"Don't worry, Castiel. It's on the house." The man said, his brown eyes warm and kind.
"Thank you." Cas smiled. He then pulled out the notecard attached to the bear. He flipped it over.
Cupcake shop. You're doing great okay? You'll see me soon!
~Dean
Cas took a breath and smiled, his heart warming. Cas continued down the street of shops and stepped into another one. This time, there was a woman and a younger lady. They looked at each other and laughed.
"So this is Castiel." The older woman greeted warmly and put out her hand. Cas shook it and nodded.
"Yes, now I think you know already but do you have anything from a 'Dean Winchester'?" Cas smiled, glancing at the cupcakes.
She laughed and turned around. She came back with a small cupcake with a roller blade decoration on the top. "Good Luck Castiel! He's a keeper."
Cas stared at it in confusion, but took it eagerly and said a thanks before walking out the door. Just outside, he sat down on the bench. He pulled the little piece that looked like a roller blade off the top. He licked the icing off it and then started to eat his cupcake.
He bit into it and crunched into something hard, pulling it out of his mouth, he scoffed, disgusted. There was a little silver key on a ring. He wiped it off with a napkin he grabbed and laughed. Inscribed on he key it said 201. Still confused he sat there. After finishing the rest of the cupcake, he looked into the wrapper. An address was there and he smirked. 46 Eastwood drive...
Cas didn't even know where that was other than it was way out of town. Dragging himself to his feet, he saw a cab sitting on the side of the road.
"Taxi!" Cas called and waved before jogging to the door and opening it.
The taxi driver smiled and shook his head ditfully.
"You're in on this too aren't you?" Cas smiled as the taxi driver nodded.
They drove along the road and surprisingly it took 20 minutes to get all the way away from town.
"Do you know where we are going?" Cas asked, stupidly. Duh he's the one driving idiot... Cas thought.
"Well... I do but I'm not supposed to tell you, sorry Castiel." The taxi driver shrugged.
They finally drove up to some rundown place. The sign was falling so all Cas could see was Robby's rol- and that was it. Cas got out of the cab excitedly and ran to the door, peeking through. Cas turned around to see the cab driving away. There were no cars except for a black Impala parked semi behind the building.
Cas turned back to the window, looking back and forth though it was all dark.
Cas felt arms snake around his waist and a body press against his back.
"Miss me?" Dean's sweet voice whispered in his ear.
Cas turned around and kissed Dean. "Oh God yes where have you been Dean? I thought you left me! I thought you weren't coming back! You spent time just setting up a random scavenger hunt leading to a dumb run down place?!" Cas said, excited but kind of hurt at the same time.
"I'm sorry Cas. I didn't mean to scare you. This is going to be fun I promise." Dean smirked and kissed Cas' forehead.
"Okay, Dean." Cas smiled and hugged him once more before Dean opened the door with a key. They stepped in. The room was large with lights turning on as Dean flicked the switches. An open expanse of long hard wood floors and white walls were there lines on one side with tall metal isles.
"Cas, go find your locker. Then we can head out." Dean smiled.
"O-Okay." Cas said, still in awe of the roller skating rink. Cas rushed off to find his locker looking for the number 201.
