Cutest Couple

Chapter 8

Castiel's POV

As far as Cas was concerned, Dean was perfect. He could never let Dean know that, but it was what he thought. His smile was crisp and movie star white. There was a dark dusting of freckles along his cheeks and across his nose. And he had sparkling, bright green eyes. He was tall and trim. With dirty blonde hair cropped just above his ears. He was beautiful. These thoughs Cas had about Dean were not good. These thoughts were sinful.

Castiel closed his locker door when he saw the red letter jacket with the large 'W' and he sighed. "Boo!" Dean said behind him. He was in a red shirt and denim jeans. He smiled as Cas turned around.

"Hello, Dean." Cas chirped.

"You seem in a nice mood." Dean held a hand to Cas, and, surprisingly, Cas took it.

"I am in a pleasant mood." He said pressing near Dean to make room for a passing girl.

"Why is that, Angel?" Dean asked. They both stopped walking and looked at each other.

"Did you just--"

"Yep."

"Angel?"

"Yep."

"Wow. Okay."

"Yep." They kept walking. Closer together than before.

"My evil uncle and aunt left our house this morning. My father kicked them out." Castiel sang.

Dean laughed, wrapping his arm around Cas instead of holding his hand. "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Cas said grinning as he put his arm around Dean's waist. He looked up at Dean. "I think Charlie did it."

"Did what, Cas?" Dean questioned stopping in front of Castiel's 5th hour class.

"The yearbook prank. I think it was Charlie and Jo." Cas hugged Dean quickly before pulling away. "I'm glad they did." He slipped into class as Dean pulled out his cellphone and dialed Jo's number.

Dean's POV

"I don't want to hurt him." Dean said yanking at his hair.

"Would you calm down?" Jo said from her seat in Charlie's lap. She tucked a strand of blonde hair from her ponytail behind her ear. "Obviously it was a prank. And of course he'd think it was Charlie and I before anyone else."

"But I actually like him." Dean complained flopping down next to where the girls were hunched under the bleachers.

"That was the point, dumbass." Jo said rolling her eyes.

"Wait... what?" Dean queried unhappily.

"We wanted both of you guys to be happy. And Dean, sorry to break it to you, but--" Jo interrupted Charlie mid-sentence.

"Youre gay." She finished.

"I'm not gay." Dean insisted.

You always stare at guys in the halls. Especially guys like Cas. And you kissed Benny on New Years--" Jo was cut off abruptly.

"Benny kissed me!" Dean floundered, starting to sweat nervously.

"You kissed him back, Dean." Jo said.

"And besides, you could do a whole lot worse than Castiel." Charlie added. Dean sat silently for a minute. "Dean?"

"I like tits!" He shouted.

"Who says you have to be gay? Have you ever heard the term bisexual?" Charlie asked.

"I've heard it." Dean answered quietly. He never liked thinking about these things.

"Well, when someone is bisexual, they're attracted to both guys and girls. So technically Dean, you could be both a tit lover - like myself - and a dick lover - like Cassie. You don't have to be strictly into dick just to be Castiel's boyfriend." Charlie explained.

Dean blushed. "I do like him."

"I know." Jo said.

"You guys hold hands in the hallway. It's cute. And no one really seems to mind." Charlie gushed.

"Except Alistair and his assholes." Dean grumbled.

"Except Alistair and his assholes, thats right. But they're nothing." Jo said.

Dean looked at her and nodded. "I don't want him to get hurt."

"He won't, Dean. He's strong. Stronger than all of us." Charlie said.

Castiel's POV

"Castiel!" Meg exclaimed waving him over to the table. He smiled and walked over to her sitting down with a burger and some fries. She smiled at him but it looked sad. "Are you and Dean a thing?" She asked.

"Why do you ask?" He replied dipping some fries in the watery and cold ketchup.

"I saw you hug him." She grumped coolly. "It hurt my feelings."

"Why did it hurt your feelings?" Castiel questioned, genuinely confused. Charlie sat down next to him and Crowley slapped Kevin's ass as he walked over to sit by Anna.

"Because I thought we were a couple." Meg said fervently. Crowley laughed, and she threw him a death stare shutting him up quickly.

"Why did you think that?" Castiel prodded.

"Because of the way we always act!" She hissed impatiently.

"I don't know how you've missed it, but Castiel is as queer as a three dollar bill." Crowley sniggered.

The tips of Castiel's ears turned red as a blush flowered his cheeks. "No he isn't! Are you?" Meg scowled.

"Well, I don't know if I would put it that way. But yes, I suppose, I am." Cas told her honestly. Charlie pressed her lips into a line and opened her pudding cup.

Meg raised a hand to her mouth and looked away from Cas. Everyone at the table was silent while Meg stood up and hurried away from the table. Anna and Kevin chased after her, and Crowley sighed.

"I would stay, and I'm really glad you came out. Maybe if things with Dean don't work out you could give me a call. But I should probably go make sure the little demon is alright. She had it pretty bad for you." Crowley patted his shoulder and followed the group that had left.

"Are you leaving now, too?" Castiel asked looking at Charlie.

"Hell no, bitch, you're stuck with me." She laughed moving to sit opposite him. A moment later a few more people walked up.

"Hey, Cas. Heard you came out." Dean's voice was nice behind Castiel.

"How'd you hear that so quickly?" Castiel questioned.

"That Anna dame." Benny said and Cas put his head in his hands, groaning.

"Congrats, man." Ash added pulling Bella over to sit by him. Dean slid in next to Cas and threw an arm over his shoulders. Benny sat down next to Bella and Jo sat practically on top of Charlie.

"What are all of you guys doing over here?" Castiel asked quietly.

"We had to support Dean's man." Ash said. Bella nodded and stole Castiel's orange juice.

"You've been officially accepted by the group." Benny said when Bella took a giant gulp from the bottle.

Dean pulled Cas close to him. "How does it feel?"

Cas smiled and looked down. "Great."
