Cutest Couple

Chapter 6

(This one is a bit weird, because it's going to switch to different point of veiws a few times.)

Castiel's POV

"What the hell was that, Castiel?" Michael grumbled angrily gesturing to the Impala that hadn't driven off yet. Castiel stopped and looked at him grimly before shrugging. "Today of all days?" Michael muttered fiercely. Castiel peeked over his shoulder still seeing Dean there.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Castiel questioned quietly. Michael just scoffed and shoved Cas into the exterior of the house. Michael went inside grumbling to himself and slamming the door shut behind him. Castiel's head thumped on the brick and he felt like shouting, but he didn't.

Dean's car still sat on the curb and Castiel caught it in his line of vision. He started crying again, because someone had seen Michael do that, and it was Dean of all people. He wiped off his face and then punched himself on the leg over and over. Dean left after that.

"Shit. Shit. Shit." Castiel muttered. He shouldn't have kissed Dean. Not with Michael there. Not at all. He composed himself as best he could and went inside.

The AC burned his already chilled skin (first world problemsssss) and he looked over at the kitchen table. His dad was in the same place he'd left him. Cas sighed and walked over to his father. He took off his trench coat and hung it over the other chair.

"Hello, dad." Cas said to him. This time, Chuck looked up at him.

"Who is he?" Chuck asked, keeping his voice low.

Castiel's breath caught in his throat. "E-excuse me?"

"The boy Gabriel and Luci were talking about." Chuck clarified. His voice was low and raspy. Different than Castiel remembered. Castiel shook his head, mouth opening and then closing. "Is he your boyfriend...?" Castiel didn't know what to say so he said nothing. Chuck stood up and looked at Castiel. Cas took a step back. "When I asked Luci, she said you and this boy were voted cutest couple." Chuck said. He didn't sound angry, but he did seem a bit hurt. "I didn't know you were even with anyone."

"I'm not." Cas eventually choked out. Chuck raised an eyebrow. "I think it was a prank or something." Chuck nodded and sighed.

"Castiel, are you... gay?" He asked whispering the word gay like it was a disease.

Cas frowned and looked bravely at his father. "I don't know."

Chuck nodded again and sat back down. "I do." He said. Cas stood motionless for a moment, in shock, while his dad rubbed his eyes. He waited for an explanation and even entertained the thought of shouting "Well, could you tell me, 'cause I sure as hell don't know!" However, he just grabbed his coat and walked upstairs to his bedroom.

Castiel pulled his door shut behind him and locked it for good measure. He flopped down on his bed and lay there silently. A knock came on his door and he groaned loudly. He heard Gabriel say his name apologetically on the other side of the door, so he got up and unlocked it.

"Do you need something?" Cas wondered looking at Gabriel's hazel eyes.

Gabe shifted his weight and looked down the stairs for a moment before leaning closer to him. "Aunt Naomi and Uncle Zachariah are here." He whispered. Castiel threw his head back and sighed. This day just kept getting better and better.

Dean's POV

"So, boys how was your day?" John asked over their meal of roast carrots, chicken, and mashed potatoes.
