(Cas's POV)
I can't believe I was so dumb. Of course he didn't actually like me. He only said all that stuff to hurt me after. But I am not gonna let that happen again. Ever.
After getting my clothes on, I come out of the bathroom to a smug looking Charlie,"What is it?" I ask confused.
"Oh nothing. Just that SAM OWES ME 20 BUCKS!"Charlie cheers and does a little dance.
"Why is that?" I ask, still extremely confused.
"Well. Me and Sam made a bet that if you guys didn't fall for eachother before a year, I owe him. But if you guys did, I get 20 smackeroos!" She smiled, but frowned when she saw my expression.  
"I did not 'fall' for him." I try to say but Charlie only shakes her head.
"Yeah. I know. What Dean did back there was a low blow, but he didn't mean it. He always thinks he has to keep this bad "straight" boy look and if any hunters saw he was with a cute little angel like you, that look would be gone." Charlie says as she brings me into the kitchen.
I only shrug, I already promised myself that I would not let Dean try to hurt me again. Never. So it doesn't even matter anymore," Thank you Charlie. I am extremely grateful to have you as a friend." I say and she laughs.
"And goodbye cute Cas. Hello serious Castiel. Angel of the Lord." Charlie laughs as she mimics my voice.
Walking into the kitchen, everything goes quite. Dean is sat on a stool at the breakfast bar and Sam is at the stove cooking.
Dean looks at me for a second and looks down," Come on in guys. I'm making eggs. Want some?" Sam says cheery and waves his spatula around.
"Sure." Charlie says and plops down next to Dean.
" I am fine. Thank you." I say nicely and walk over to Sam.
I try to act cool and hop up not the counter next to Sam, but repeatedly fail and I give up with a huff. "Awe. Is lil Cassy having trouble getting into the big counters?" Sam mocks and walks over to me.
"What are you-" I begin to ask but quickly stop when Sam puts his hands under my arms and lifts me into the counter.
I blush and thank him, looking over to the other two, seeing Charlie snicker and....Dean frown? Why would he frown? I don't know, or care. I turn back to Sam and ask," Can you teach me how to cook?"
"Sure Cas. What would like to learn to cook?" Sam smiles and continues to add things to the eggs and store them.
"I don't know. Anything you know." I shrug and feel my stomach grumble.
"I knew you would want some. That's why I made extra." Sam laughs and makes me a plate.
"Thank you." I blush and begin to eat.
Sam made everyone else's plates and we all ate. Charlie and Dean ate at the bar and Sam stood next to me at the counter. We all made small talk but nothing too intensely. Dean would glance or look at me every once in a while. I could feel it and sometimes caught him, causing him to quickly look away or talk to Charlie. Kinda awkward. Guess I know now how it felt for him now.

*~*later that day*~*

Dean just got a call from Bobby about a job. So now we are getting ready to head out. Since last time, Charlie has managed to get another car and we can now gladly double up and ride in separate cars. Oh yeah, they make me ride with them all the time now when we are on jobs so I don't ' get myself ganked by other hunters'. I don't think that would happen but I just come along to make them feel better.
Walking out, Sam runs to the new car calling,"IM DRIVING!"
"Oh. I am not riding in the back again. I am driving baby." Dean says sternly and pulls his keys out of his pocket.
"Ok then. I'm with Sam. See you guys there." Charlie says as she shuts the trunk and hops into the car with Sam.
After their car drives away, me and Dean are left standing there. Dean next to the Impala and I still standing in front of the door. I can't believe they just left me.......with him. "Ok. I'll.......be going now." Say and just when I am about to leave.
"NO. Wait. They would kill me if they found out I just let you go. It's a three day trip. Just.....get into the car and we can go. We...need to talk." Dean says and walks around the car, opening my door. 
"Come on."Dean says and I step into the car.
This is going to be fun. "So. I just want to say that I am sor-"Dean begins to say but I don't want to hear it.
"No. Stop. It is nothing of import. You were correct. It was wrong of me to be there. I should not have stayed. And it will never happen again." I say sternly and it is over.
Dean just sighs and starts the car. We sit in silence that first whole day.
After the first day's drive, all of us met at a motel to sleep for the night. In all honesty, I was tired. Being stuck in a car all day while Dean either listens to his music and sings or we say in silence, was boring and I could have done so many things with in that span of time. But no, it doesn't matter.
Dean turns off the car and we get out. He goes and gets his bags and I just enter the room. There are two beds and a couch. Guess I am gonna leave tonight. Charlie will of course get a bed and Dean will most likely sleep on the couch while Sam takes the other bed. "Hey Cas. Sorry we couldn't get a bigger room. There really weren't any rooms bigger than this." Sam half smiled at me as he came and patted my shoulder, pulling me into his side.
I shrugged and wrapped my arm around his waist. Very shortly after, Dean barges in with his bag. Tossing it next to the couch then plopping down. He knew he was gonna be on the couch even before he saw the room. Impressive. "Well. Goodnight you all. I will be-" I begin to say but Sam interrupts me.
"Oh no. You can't leave. Then I will feel bad. Then Charlie will make fun of me saying I look like a lost puppy." Sam pouted at me and I just chuckle.
"Well why stay when I don't even sleep?" I ask and Sam gives me a look I do not recall.
"That's not true. You slept just fine with D-" Sam begun to say but Dean cut him off.
"Oh no! We are not mentioning that ever again!" Dean said as he was getting the couch ready to sleep on.
Sam only laughed. "Wanna bunk with me man? I am totally up for cuddles." Sam asked me jokingly.
"Are you serious?" I ask, slightly blushing.
"Of course Cas. I wouldn't leave you out." Sam said as he changed into a tight grey t-shirt and black basketball shorts.
"Ok then.....I said and snapped, my clothes folded on the desk in the corner neatly and me wearing a black t-shirt and my boxers.
Sam and Charlie stare and Dean huffs, falling into his couch. Shrugging, I climb into bed next to Sam. Tonight is going to be interesting.
