Common People || Destiel High School AU (with Sabriel)

Chapter 5 - The Invitation

Castiel was glad that he mostly got ignored at the new school. Some people gave him funny looks when he walked into classes but that was probably mainly something to do with him looking like Lucifer, who was known to be quite popular. The week came and went and he was finally free from his grounding.

To be honest, he was actually prepared for a worse punishment than a one-week grounding, but maybe he just caught his mom on a good day. Either way, he wasn't about to risk prolonging his punishment for longer than she had already promised, so he was watching her like a hawk throughout dinner before he would ask her if he could go and play Dungeons and Dragons with Charlie and Meg.

She seemed in a good mood, and he had already planned what he was about to say in his head. He just needed to slip it into conversation now, hopefully someone brings up school or something so he can mention how he's already made new friends and actually they want to hang out with him outside of school.

"Hey mom, can I go to a party this weekend?" Lucifer asks out of the blue and Cas looks at him incredulously, mouth gaping open before his face twists into disgust. Lucifer glances over and narrows his eyes. 'What?' he mouths at him and Cas shakes his head.

"Hmmm, will parents be there?" She asks, peering out at him from over her glasses. Lucifer shrugs honestly, damn that was going to be Castiel's bit.

"To be honest, I have no idea. All I know is that it's for Adam's birthday, I have to go and get him a present too." Niaomi thinks for a few seconds and finally nods her head.

"Alright then, I'll allow it but I want you to be on your best behavior. I don't want to be getting a call from the police at two o'clock in the morning telling me that my son has been arrested for underage drinking."

Castiel couldn't believe his ears. She had said yes. Yes, to Lucifer going to a party. It was absolutely unheard of. Now he was really testing her though because it was his turn. He wouldn't let Lucifer's plea put him off asking for himself.

"Speaking of which-" he says quickly before the conversation can move on or he loses out on his chance. His mother's eyes narrow suspiciously and she purses her lips in anticipation. "-well, I've made friends in the new school too, and well, you know how hard that is for me."

He was rambling. Of course, he was rambling, he had prepared too much that it had now all gone out of his head, he just needed to get to the point as quickly as possible. Damn why was this so hard.

"Well, they're really nice. Charlie is a lesbian and Meg is bisexual, they're like... my people, yano? Anyways, I've made friends with them."

The point was going completely over his head. What was he going to ask again? Shit, he had forgotten what he was going to ask. Something to do with....

"Can Cas come too?" Lucifer butts in, rolling his eyes. "Meg and Charlie asked him to come with them."

Wait, that wasn't what he was going to ask! Was it? He didn't even know anymore.

"Well, I suppose it would be unfair if I let one of you go and not the other one so I guess he can. But the rules apply to you too, Castiel. No funny business, I want you both on your best behavior." Cas nods stupidly and Lucifer grins and puts his thumbs up childishly before grabbing his plate and taking it over to the sink to wash it up.

Castiel blinked after him and then looked back his mother who had already stood up and started taking the condiments from the table to put back into the cupboard.

Wait, Cas didn't want to go to a party. Damn, he hated parties they were his worst nightmare. The worst thing was that he knew Meg and Charlie wouldn't be there either because they were expecting him over to play DnD! Cas stood up quickly and walked over to the sink where Lucifer was washing the dishes, and grabbed a towel to help dry them.
