Broken- Destiel Fanfic

Both Cas and dean were falling deeper in love with each passing day. Neither's family life improved very much but they were given solace in that there family was hardly ever around anyways, though when they were around they had the bruises to show for it. Cas still didn't know about John, every time dean appeared with a new bruise he would brush it off as a work injury or just being clumsy, but deep down Cas knew, even if he didn't want to admit it.

They were spending the day together to mark there two month anniversary and had spent the day at the sight above town where dean had first asked Cas to be his boyfriend and had the perfect day together.

"Call me when you get home okay" dean mumbles kissing Cas for what must be the millionth time that minute, dean hates leaving Cas to walk home alone but it's late and he knows if he doesn't beat John home he'll pay for it. "I'll be fine" Cas chuckles kissing him back secretly loving the attention "okay get out of here" dean smirks, Cas turns and walks away blowing a few kisses before turning off at the end of the road.

Dean takes a deep content breath fixing his hair before he enters the house. He wasn't quick enough, in the chair sits John with 3 bottles already at his feet and another in his hand, dean mentally swears at himself. Sam in stood in the corner pale, his eyes warning dean.. Warning him of what though..

"What do you guys want to eat?" Dean asks breaking the silence and shuffling slightly towards the kitchen though johns strong glare eventually makes him stop. "Who was that?" John growls.. Sam was warning dean to go back, to get out and run, John had seen dean with Cas and there's only one way this was going to end.. In blood. "Just a friend" dean tries shrugging it off "a friend?" John scoffs, Sam flinches but dean holds strong any expression change would just spur him on at this point. "Sam go to your room" John states through clenched teeth "dad please" Sam whispers. Seconds later the previously full bottle of beer is launched at Sam who manages to duck just in time, it smashing against the wall behind him.

"Your beef isn't with him it's with me" dean growls, Sam knows deans fearless protection over him was going to get him hurt, he dreaded that day the most "you want to know who Cas is, fine I'll tell you" dean holds strong "Sammy go to your room, I'll come get you when this is over" dean instructs, the younger boy hesitantly does as told.

"Well?" John barks causing dean to loose his composer already giving John a malicious smirk. "Cas is my boy friend dad" dean whispers. Wrong answer. The first thing dean feels is his head being cracked against the table in front of him, closely followed by a boot to the ribs and several to the face. When dean eventually falls to the floor a few more boots follow. "Don't you call me dad" he growls "I will not be the father to a faggot" he spits. John picks up his jacket mumbling to himself and slamming the door as he leaves.

Dean knows he should get up, he knows he should move, see if Sammy is alright then clean himself up, like always. But he can't bring himself to, not this time. He curls himself further into a ball and feels himself start to cry, only realising that the sobs are racking through his whole body when Sam is there beside him.

"Dean you gotta snap out of it" Sam states "if he comes back and you're still here.. Like this.. It won't be over" he adds. "Sammy, he knows about Cas" dean whispers, he's as white as a ghost and the thick blood on his face only makes him look worse "I know dean that's why we gotta get you outta here, you need to go stay at bobby's for a few days, I packed you a bag but we've got to go now" Sam states. He's not used to seeing his brother like this, deans always the strong one, Sams seen him beaten worse than this before so he can't work out why he's so upset.

"Text Cas and tell him to meet me at the treehouse" dean mumbles to Sam tossing him his phone. "Sammy I fucked up" he adds whispering meeting the concerned glances of his younger brother "it's going to be fine, we'll stay at bobby's till it cools down" Sam states. "Sammy what if he goes after Cas, Cas doesn't have any one to protect him, his dad and his brother are bigger jackasses than John.. If they find out about us.. God they might just kill him" dean whispers his face going even paler than before and both boys are certain that he's going to throw up.

Sam eventually gets him to move and they take the short drive to the treehouse. "Dean you can't go up there like that, you'll scare him half to death" Sam whispers, they do there best to wipe the dry blood from his face but that doesn't make him look any better, dean knows it's time to come clean to Cas. "Come on Sammy you're not staying down here by yourself" dean whispers opening the door of the impala for his brother to climb out.

They get up to the treehouse and Cas isn't there yet, it's no surprise since he's walking. Dean slumps himself so that his back is supported by the wall as Sam paces the floor. "Dean?" The boys eventually hear Cas whisper "I'm up here" dean responds having to hold back the sheer pain in his voice. Cas' face drops when he gets up there, he sees Sam first and he knows something's wrong, but when he sees dean, that's when his blood runs cold and the hairs stand up on his back.

"What the hell happened?" Cas gasps "there's been something I've been meaning to tell you for a while now" dean states, Sam takes a seat on the other side of the room with his head in his hands and Cas sits beside dean taking his hand in his own as a sign of reassurance. "John.. He urm.. When I told you that he didn't take our mothers death well, I meant at all.. We never stayed in a place for more than say a month or so.. He started drinking and with the drinking came.." Dean trails off. Dean had always been a proud boy, someone for others to look up to, someone for others, especially Cas and Sam, to feel protected by, the hero.. But he didn't feel like the hero right now. "The beatings" Sam finished for him "dean always got it worse than me, but of course he would when he was always jumping in to save me" he adds wiping the tears from his face, dean gestures for him to go over and he hooks his arm around him in a brotherly hug, protecting his brother while he still can.

"So what happened today?" Cas asks "he saw us" dean whispers. With those three words Cas' entire world comes crumbling down "it's all my fault" Cas gasps. "What no, don't be ridiculous!" Dean exclaims "if I hadn't been at your house" Cas tries "Cas, baby, it's not your fault" dean whispers, Sam moves away and gets out of the treehouse giving the boys the space they need. Dean plants his lips against Cas' in a soft broken kiss. "Don't you ever think for a second I regret anything, you give me life Cas, I love you" dean whispers practically against the others lips "I love you too dean" Cas mumbles. "Please don't tell me you're going home after all of that?" Cas suddenly gasps "of course not, me and Sammy are going to bobby's at least for a couple nights" dean smiles "you can come stay with us tonight if you like? It's pretty late and I don't feel over happy about you going home alone" he adds, Cas nods a yes and the three of them head to bobby's, where dean has to then repeat the full story.

When they eventually get to sleep they're happy to have the cover of a school day tomorrow on there side. Cas tells Gabe what happened over the phone and Gabe immediately phones in sick for Cas telling him that he'll pick him up at the regular school ending time so not to cause any suspicions at home. Dean of course can't go anywhere looking the way he does so with a long, long lie in they find the comfort they require in each others arms.
