Eyes and Ties

Change Your Mind

He stood in the elevator and practiced the story before pressing the button to the first floor.

The doors open to a low roar of murmurs and taps on computers, and Castiel's eyes sought out his best friend, happy that she was making her way towards him.

"Cas have you been crying?" Charlie asked, pulling him into a hug once she was close enough.

"What did he say," Garth called out he was also worried. Castiel looked around the room, locking eyes with everyone in the room. This was it.

"Uh.. He.. Mr. Winchester is promoting me to his... Assistant." He dropped his eyes at the harsh intake of breath by several people.

Charlie groaned angrily, "Castiel what did you do!?" She lifted his head. Her eyes searching and it didn't shock him that she found something. Her eyes thinned and she dragged him toward the girls bathroom.

Hushed whispers didn't miss his ears and he knew that they knew Charlie found something too.

She pushed him into the bathroom and locked the door, turning around and getting in his face in the same breath of time.

"What happened in that office." She gritted, observing his face once more making sure she didn't miss anything. It would be useless to lie and she is waiting to call out another bluff.

"Last night..." She crossed her arms, waiting, "after everyone left, I had been alone with my thoughts and after a while I decided to give Dean what's what."
Castiel covered his face with his hands and huffed a frustrated laugh. "I came face to face with him on his floor and..."

Charlie hugged him again, "And what?"

She patted his shoulder to get him out of his thoughts. "And he turned it around. Pressed me against the bar, made me kneel. Charlie, he made me kneel!"

She sucked in a breath,"Castiel, that's-" Castiel held up a hand, "don't say it, because I know."

He picked at the hem of his sleeve. "Today, he.. He, um.. Punished me for going into his elevator," Castiel could feel her shock seep into his skin.

"He.. I might let him be my new Dom... Charlie..." He looked into a stall ignoring her gaping mouth.

"What do you mean!?!" She whispered harshly, "Just last week we were eating cake and talking shit about what we want to do to him because he is a douchebag!"

"You don't think I don't know that!" Castiel whispered back just as angrily, "You think I planned to be a submissive little bitch to my own boss? I would rather sit on needles for a day!" He growled, she just stared at him apologetically.

She waited till his breath evened and it didn't sound like he was gonna cry before speaking.

"I'm sorry Cassie. Look on the bright side," she said, rolling her eyes at his glare, "now that you are going upstairs you can be fucked when ever, and I know how much you missed that." A slap in the arm made her chuckle.

"If he ever goes past your limits, you better tell me and then I will actually beat the shit out of him." Castiel nodded.

He sighed, " Can you help me pack my things? He wants me up there today."

Charlie still had an unsure look, but she agreed anyway. They left the bathroom and everyone was still waiting with concern.

"It's alright everybody," Charlie announced, "He will tell you when it is the right time. Today is just not that time."

Castiel was happy no one pushed him while he and Charlie packed his things. Kevin even joked with him about this being the last time he had to look at Castiel's mug, and it's hard to get anything, especially a joke, out of Kevin.
