Falling in Flames

Chapter 6

Cas chocked on the pizza slice that was in his mouth. Dean stopped talking and looked at Cas who was coughing "Oh shit!" Dean ran to the kitchen to get Cas a cup of water then rushed back to Cas and handed him the cup. Cas gulped the water quickly. "You okay?" Dean put his hand on the man's shoulder. Cas nodded and let out a shaky breath. Dean Winchester? It can't be. I've heard the other angels talk about him..saying bad things about him. I need to leave. Cas got up and fixed his trench coat "Dean, I uh, I need to go" he said and headed towards the door. Dean looked confused Why was he leaving so suddenly? He asked himself. Dean got up and followed Cas who was walking surprisingly fast and seemed in a rush to leave. "Oh um..Okay..?" Dean smiled at Cas, who smiled back, but had fear in his eyes.
"You sure you okay?" He asked
Cas nodded and walked out the door "Yes I'm fine, Dean. Thank you" Dean nodded and watched Cas walk away. He closed the door.
He sighed and leaned against the door.
"Did I say something wrong?" He mumbled and went to get a beer.

Later, Sam arrived to the bunker, all fired up because of the case. When he entered the room, he looked at Dean, who was in the middle of watching Doctor Sexy M.D
"Dean guess what?" He said, excitedly. Dean turned to him, with no expression. "So, these kids were attacked by a Wen-" He looked around the room and realized something was missing.
"Where's the guy?" He asked. Dean sighed and rolled his eyes back to the tv. "First, his name's Castiel." Sam looked at the ground, ashamed for not knowing the man's name. "Second, he left" Sam looked at Dean, who took a sip of his beer.
"Why?" He asked
"I don't know"
"Oh"
Sam went to sit down next to Dean. He watched his brother sit there quietly, drinking his beer.
"He just.." He began to say and then faded.
"He just what?" asked Sam.
"When I mentioned our family name, you know, Winchester, he got all.." Sam looked at Dean "Hesitant?" He suggested. Dean nodded "Yeah.."
The two grew silent and the only sound that was heard was of the kissing noises from the tv. Dean stood up and went to his room, not saying a word. Sam watched his brother leave and sighed. He then did the same.

The next morning, Dean woke up before Sam and prepared the breakfast, which was burnt bacon and eggs. Sam woke up and walked in the kitchen, with his messy hair.
"Hey Sammy" Dean said, smiling at Sam and flipping the eggs at the same time.
"Hey Dean" he replied. He went to sit down at the table. The lights began to flicker. Dean and Sam both turned to the flickering light, and frowned.
"Hello, boys." A voice behind them said. Dean rolled his eyes and turned to look at the man "Hello, jackass." The man scoffed and gave them their best I'm offended face.
"Hurtful" he place his hand on his heart, and shook his head while grinning.
"Crowley" said Sam, still frowning. Crowley turned to him and frowned back in a mocking way "Moose" Sam rolled his eyes.
"What do you want?" He asked grimly, taking a step towards Crowley.
He looked at the two brothers "Did you know that there was an angel here?" He said, watching the expressions off Sam and Dean's face wipe away.
Dean scoffed "An angel? Sure there was." Crowley walked over to Dean and looked him straight in the eye "Yes, Dean. An angel. Why did you have an angel here?" He asked. Dean frowned at the man "We didn't have an angel." Crowley rolled his eyes "Stop lying, squirrel. His name's Cas...Casti-something" Dean became silent and looked at Sam, who already had his eyes on him. Castiel? Castiel's an angel?
"So?"
"We never had an angel here" he raised his voice a little, making Crowley raise his eyebrow
"Yes, that's why you grew silent" he grinned.
"Just go away, Crowley" said Sam, trying to remain calm.
He looked at the Winchesters and frowned "Fine." He looked at Dean and smirked "Tell your angel I say hello" he snapped his fingers and before Dean could say anything, he was gone.
"H-He's not an angel." He said, looking at his brother, who seemed already convinced.
"He's not!" Dean yelled. Sam looked at Dean, who became angry.
Dean stormed back to his room and slammed the door shut. Sam sighed and went to finish what Dean was cooking.
