Change my mind

Acceptance

It has been three days since Castiel has last seen Dean. And it would probably take two more days until he would see him. He tried texting and calling Dean but he didn't response. It was all a big misunderstanding.

Castiel did indeed love Dean and this was not just a joke or a bet to see how easy he was to get in bed. Cas just worried about his parents. He knew he would be dead by the second they found out. But right now he wouldn't mind at all.

His parents have been back from their family visit and didn't know anything about the party or Cas and Dean. Gabriel was staying at the Winchester's again. He didn't know how much Cas wanted to be him. Gabe offered Cas multiple times to just take him there cause Dean obviously couldn't avoid Cas there. Well he probably could anyways but Cas just didn't want to bother him.

The family was called down for dinner. His mother, his father, Balthazar and Anna were there. It was kind of a surprise that only Gabriel was missing. It was quite. Normally Gabe would've kept a conversation up but he wasn't there so nobody needed a talk. The only sounds were forks meeting the plates. "Mom, Dad. Did you already hear the news?" Anna asked them. Cas was dead. He was so dead. Every time she started like that, she was going to tell something about Cas. Every single time.

"What is it this time?" Mother asked her in annoyance.

"Castiel got a boyfriend. It gets better, it's Dean Winchester. And even better, they had sex at a party thrown in here." Anna grinned.

Castiel didn't even need to raise his head to notice everyone was looking at him.

"Castiel James Novak, is this true?" His father asked sharp but still calm.

"No it's not. Plus little missy threw the party here." Castiel answered. He knew his lie wouldn't make it.

"Stop lying Castiel. Look, Mom, Dad." She said, taking out her phone and showed them the pictures. Castiel faced Balthazar, who just sat there quietly. Then he heard his mother sniffing, and a chair being thrown back before he got pulled up. He felt the fist of his father hitting his face a lot of times until he felt something liquid running down his nose. "Pack your stuff and leave. We don't ever want to see you here again." His father hissed, pushing him towards the hallway. Castiel only looked at Anna's face to see if she was happy but now also her face was shocked.

"D-Dad do you really think he h-has to leave?" She stuttered.

"Yes. He has been betraying us. He isn't a part of this family anymore." He heard his father say before walking upstairs and taking out a huge back. He threw some clothes in, all of the presents Gabriel and Balth have ever given to him and a few more necessary things. Cas grabbed his purse and walked downstairs. On his way he destroyed some flower pots, family pictures and small lamps. To that he slammed the door shut and just walked into any direction. Just now Cas realised that he had nowhere to go. Sure he knew some people but if they saw him like that and knew why he was thrown out they would not even invite him in. So Castiel went for a nearby park and sat down onto a bench. It was cold. But not the coldest yet. He worried about next night. It should be the coldest night of this month and he didn't have anything good with him. Somehow he would manage it. Somehow.

~~~~~~

Until now he didn't deal with the fact how he was going to go through the night until the sun went down. It already began getting colder. Castiel crawled himself together and pulled his jacket tight around him. He was freezing. It would be a miracle if he didn't freeze to death. A few people walked by. None of them bothered him sitting there. They ignored him. An old lady offered him a coffee but Cas didn't drink any coffee. Hours have gone by while people were walking past him. Cas didn't even feel his feet anymore and his hands were ice-cold. He heard the engine of a car going off in front of him but he didn't even care to raise his head.

"Cas?" He suddenly heard a familiar voice. Now Cas couldn't help but raise his head. It was Dean. Out of anyone walking past him, it was Dean. And it was Dean that stopped. "Dammit Cas what are you doing out here?!" He asked walking over to Cas.

**********************************

When Dean walked over to Cas his heart slightly broke. He saw the love of his life freezing like hell, sitting on an odd park bench. "Damn you're cold like hell!" Dean stated when he put his hands onto Cas' shoulders. "Come on, let's get you somewhere warm and then you tell me why you're sitting out here." Dean told and took his bag, putting it into his impala. Then he walked back to Cas, helping him up. He was stiff like hell. His body parts were frozen to ice cubes probably. Dean decided just to pick up Cas to avoid pain. So Dean picked Cas up bridal stile and put him into the passenger seat of his impala. Then he got in himself and turned on the heat, looking over at Cas. Now he was actually able to see how his face looked like. His lips were blue from the cold. There was dried blood underneath his nose and his cheek was turning blue. Also he already got a black eye. "Who did this to you?!" Anger filled Dean's body. Castiel didn't reply though.

"I'll drive you home." Dean stated but Castiel gripped his wrist, now also looking at Dean.

"No." His voice was shaky.

"Then I'm taking you home." It was the same thing just with another meaning. He was taking Cas home to him. For sure, why wouldn't he?

Dean took an extra long route home, so Cas could warm up completely and so he wasn't shaking anymore. He pulled up in front of his house and Got out, taking Cas' bag from the bag and walking over to Cas, taking his hand while walking to the house, entering it. His father was still there but he didn't expect him to be still awake.

"Is that him?" John asked nodding towards Cas.

"Yes it is him. And I don't care what you're saying or anything, he's staying here for at least tonight." Dean stated, preparing for his father to go insane but he didn't.

"Look Dean." John started, walking towards them. "I don't like it. I really don't like my sons liking guys or being with guys but I'm going to accept it. I know I can't change how you're feeling or anything and I know you're just going to keep doing what you're doing whether I like it or not so I'm just saying, I don't like it but I accept it." His father said. This made Dean speechless. Did these words really come out of his father's mouth?

"Are you serious right now?" Dean asked, still not believing a thing.

"Yes, I am Dean. Your mother finally opened up my eyes. You're still my son and it's not changing cause of your sexuality." A soft smile spread across John's face. Dean couldn't help it but he let Cas' hand go and walked up to his father hugging him. This was the first time he hugged him since he was six. John as well wrapped his arms around Dean pulling him closer and Dean could make out sniffing, coming from his mom in the back.

"I think you both have some things to set straight." John smiled a little while letting Dean go. Dean turned to face Cas and nodded. Again he took Cas' hand and walked upstairs with him and into his room. Dean still didn't realise what just happened down there. But now he was going to focus on Cas and what happened to him. He soon realised now it was his lover sniffing and soon crying, breaking down to the ground. Dean rushed to him and pulled him into his arms. "It's okay. Everything's going to be okay." He whispered, pulling Cas closer.
