Acceptance And Allowance

{A/N: Hey so this chapter is kind of long But I have a longer one planned for later. I feel like this one is good, okay maybe not it's really sad and I'm just gonna say now warning: this chapter mentions child abuse so there. I'll put a warning right before it starts and right after, you can skip it if you want. It's not necessarily important to the plot. This chapter is kinda sad so... Sorry}

When Dean and Cas finally decided that they should get out of bed a day later they walked into the kitchen to see the whole of the Winchester family, plus Gabriel, smirking up at them from the kitchen table. Sam had a shit-eating grin on his face and Gabriel just looked like he knew too much. John and Mary were smiling at Dean with looks that said "we know." Adam sat there just smiling up to his big brother innocently and sweetly. 

"Mom, Dad, Sammy, Adam, Gabriel, can I ask why you're all staring at us like that?"

"Probably because my brother, Dean "I'm straight" Winchester just spent a whole day cuddled up to a man in his bed."

"It's... It's not like that."

Dean turned to Cas, who was obviously trying very hard not to show any emotion. To anyone else he probably looked like another emotionless teenager but to Dean he looked about ready to collapse on the floor and curl into a ball and just cry.

"Actually, you know what? It is like that. I spent all day cuddled up next to this beautiful, amazing man because I like him. And there is no 'no homo' with us. With us it's 'all the homo' because damn it, Castiel, I like you in the least platonic way possible."

Cas's face lit up and he let out a smile and the two of them met each other's gaze and looked toward the people sitting at the table in front of them. 

"Dean we could tell there was nothing platonic between you two you didn't have to actually say it I was just teasing you. But you said it anyways and I'm proud of you for having the courage to say that. I'm still going to tease you, but I support you."

"Dean, honey you know we'll always love you no matter what. We support you in any decision because your happiness means more to us than who you love. We support you and anybody like you because, regardless of what who we love personally, it's not our place to tell others that they can't love who they want."

Dean smiled and hugged his mom, then his dad. He just ruffled Sam's hair, as well as Adam's, and pushed Gabe out of his chair before returning to his spot next to Castiel. 

"Thank you guys for supporting us."

Dean kissed Cas before pulling away when Adam yelled out "No kissing! Kissing is gross!"

Dean smiled at Cas before pecking him on the lips and asking, "Want some food?"

"When don't I?"

Dean laughed and grabbed some bacon that Mary had cooked and put a few piece on his plate and moved down the line of foods that his amazing mom had cook and left for him on the counter. He returned to Cas with a plate full of food. Cas just looked at him and pouted. 

"You didn't get any for me?"

"Relax, dork, I just didn't see the need to dirty more than one plate, we can share."

Cas smiled before grabbing a fork and sitting down with Dean's family at the table. The family laughed and talked until breakfast was eaten and the dishes were clean. 

"So, Dean, Cas, I thought we should run down to the police today and see about getting both Castiel and Gabriel put under our protection until you're eighteen."

"I think it's worth a shot."

"Dean I don't know if I want to talk to anybody about... About my dad..." Cas was quiet and he was staring at his feet with a scared and sad look on his face.
