Hope (Destiel High School AU)

Chapter 9 - Foolishness

*alcohol/drug use in this chapter*

(Cas' POV)

Dean and I are laying in his bed now, and he's got his arm wrapped around my waste, holding me. It was nice. I didn't want him to let me go.

I kept thinking about earlier, when I accidentally told Dean I love him. Lucky for me he couldn't understand me with my mouth full of food. But, should I tell him? I mean, yeah we had sex, but a lot of people fuck and move on. I guess those are usually the FWB people, or whores, or players. Whatever word you would liked to use. But Dean and I have feelings for each other, and I'm pretty sure we are a thing now. It was all a lot to think about, but I decided to be brave and tell him.

"Dean?" I turn around so I could face him.

"Yes, angel?" He replies, looking into my eyes. I could never get over how beautiful his green eyes are. They're simply amazing, and hypnotizing.

"Well um.. I wanted to tell you something.. And it's very important," I begin.

"What is it?" He looks a little nervous now.

"Well earlier.. I had said something to you, but you couldn't understand me because my mouth was full of food and um..." This was really hard. My heart started breathing really fast, and my hands began to get a little sweat from being so nervous.
"Well I um... You see..." I couldn't get a grip on the words I wanted to say. "Dean I um...I-"

"Cas," he cuts me off. "What is it? Just tell me." He places a hand on mine and holds it.

"Dean....." I pause for a while, trying to stall, hoping he'd say something but he just kept staring at me. "I love you" I quickly say and squeeze my eyes shut.

"I love you too, Cas," I hear him say and I let out a huge breath of relieve.

"Wh..what? Really?"

"Yes. Really! I have strong feelings for you Castiel, and ever since I met you, they had only gotten stronger. I fell for you, hard, and quickly. I love you too." He smiles and kisses my forehead.

I smile big and grab his face, pressing my lips hard against his.

It felt like the weight of the world had been lifted from my shoulders.

**the following Friday night**

(Deans POV)

I'm waiting for Cas at some party I was invited too. This guy named, Chuck invited me. He's pretty cool. We have a class together and we talk a lot. My only other friend besides I guess Gabe, but also Cas and Lisa. Oh by the way, Lisa and I talked and I told her that im with Castiel now and she didnt get mad, thankfully.

"I know you really like him, Dean. It's okay." She had told me.

It was, er, is, true though. Except I love him.

"YES!" Someone shouts and I look over at them. There's someone carrying in alcohol. "Now this party is getting started!!"

The music gets a bit louder, and I gotta say, whoever chose this music has good taste. It had a good beat that you couldn't help but dance too.

I reach into my pocket to call cas to find out where he is, but I see thst he already texted me.

Cas- (8:36pm) sorry Dean, I won't be there until about a quarter after 9, I have to wait for Zeke to get home still, sorry. I dont know why Gabe and Sam cant just be here by themselves, but its what my mom said.

I reply with "okay angel, see you soon."

"Hey Dean!" I turn around and see Chuck standing at the table full of drinks, "come here!"
