Stay (Destiel High School AU)

Almost

"Please, please, don't do this. Just not today," Cas said with a pleading tone while trying to brush past Crowley. Crowley trucked him forcefully, causing him to crash into Balthazar who shoved him right back into the middle of the circle of bullies. All of Cas' belongings were now on the floor, along with his phone.

"Unfortunately for you, Novak, you have to take it today," he shrugs as he bends down and pick up Cas' phone, looking through the pictures of Dean. Crowley stopped for a second, he looked up from the phone with an evil smile on his face. "Oh...I see. You found yourself a little boy toy, haven't you?" Crowley says while tossing the phone to the side and motioning to the other two boys. They both grabbed Castiel's arms and pinned them behind his back. Cas tried to break the hold by squirming, but they wouldn't let go. Crowley took a few slow strides toward Cas, now he was only inches from his face.

"Well? Are you going to fucking answer me, fag?" Crowley yelled as he hooked Cas in the stomach, knocking the air out of him and causing him to double over, but the other bullies jerked him back up to eye level.

Cas narrowed his eyes, sending daggers right through Crowley. "Fuck off," he said, immediately regretting it. When Crowley heard those two words, you could see the anger flash before his eyes. He brought his fist back and knocked Cas in the face multiple times before he grabbed Cas' shoulders and kneed him right in the stomach. Cas groaned and tried to catch his breath before Crowley could do anything else. Crowley yanked is chin up and looked him right in his blue, miserable eyes.

"Would you like to answer me now, Novak?" Crowley whispered loud enough for only him to hear.

"He's my friend, nothing more," Cas said sorrowful, avoiding eye contact with Crowley. Crowley was just doing this to pull his chain, he knew it would work.

"Okay. See? Was it really that hard?" He said as he let go of Cas' chin, letting his head fall. The other boys let go of his arms, allowing him to fall to his knees right at Crowley's feet. "Since you decided to decline my question, you've earned yourself a few extra hits," the bully said mischievously grabbing Cas' hair. He pulled back his arm but got interrupted by a deep voice.

"Hey! That's my friend, you son of a bitch," Dean yelled as he angrily strode to where they were standing. Dean had been late to leave from class because he had disrespected his teacher by talking back with the smart mouth of his. For once, his smart mouth came in handy. "What the fuck are you doing?" Dean said while pushing Crowley away from Cas.

"I'm giving this little faggot what he deserves," Crowley explained with a look of disgust. Then he got a wild look on his face, something clicked in his mind. "Oh, I know you...you're the bitch's boy friend," he said with a smirk.

Dean looked up at him with fury in his eyes. He looked at Cas and saw how hurt he was, he felt an ache in his chest and a fire pulse through his body, like veins. He punched Crowley square in the nose, causing him to fall back against the lockers. "How about you shut the fuck up, you homophobic asshole!" The other boys ran off, afraid Dean would hurt them too. Dean didn't even realize what he had done until about a minute after he had.

"Oh shit. Cas! Are you okay?" Dean asked, grabbing Cas' face.

"Dean? Dean...get me out of here," Cas groaned as he grabbed Dean's arms. He could barely stand on his own.

"Okay, I've got you, Cas," Dean said as he helped him up and put his arm around his shoulders. Crowley had ran off to get his friends, most likely to yell at them for leaving him after Dean punched him. Dean made sure to grab Cas' books and his phone before they left so if Crowley did decide to come back he couldn't take them. Cas' nose was bleeding and bruised, he was already hurt from the rough night before with his father, this didn't help at all. Cas was so afraid that Crowley was going to get his crew and attack again, he would look back every few steps or so just to make sure.
