Finding Him

CHAPTER 3

Cas

I can't believe Dean actually asked for help. Maybe he isn't as bad as I thought. I think he's just tough on the outside. It seems that he has had a rough life and he just covers up with a hard shell. He's definitely a lady's man with green candy apple eyes and dirty blonde hair that is spiked up in the front.

I am so deep into thought about the green-eyed man that's sharing my room I almost forget my book bag at the table I was sitting. I had been studying astro-physics because we have a test in a few days.

When I get back to our dorm, Dean is fast asleep on his bed. I climb into bed after quickly changing and brushing my teeth.

My thoughts drift to my soulmate. I wonder if i should try writing on my arm and then checking everyone around me for the same mark, or even wait to reply but then I chicken out. Some people are born without one, unfortunately, but when I was a child writing appeared on my left hand so if he's not dead, I have a someone out there, I hope. Thinking of possible soulmates, I fall fast asleep

Dean

When I get up, Cas has hair that sticks up in all different places. I'm glad he got back alright. I was going to stay up and wait for him to get back but I fell asleep. While I'm making breakfast Cas' eyes open and he stumbles out of bed.

"What are you making?" He asks.

"Omelets. Want one?" I answer.

Cas looks surprised. "You know how to cook omelets?" he asks.

"Well... yah I had to keep my baby brother alive when my father went on trips." I say slowly.

"Trips to where? Work trips?" Cas asks.

"Umm, yah he was an FBI officer." I say. "My dad refused to stay in one place, even though he had the option. He always worked the weirdest jobs too. What about your parents Cas? Did they treat ya right?" I say jokingly.

He stays silent. I look at him and pain is etched into his face. I wonder what he's been through and I am angered by the thought of someone hurting Cas. I feel protective of Cas but in the brotherly kind of way, I don't really know how to explain it. Cas looks up and I'm forced to look away from him.

Cas stays completely silent while I make the omelets. He's just staring off into the distance. I feel guilty that I mentioned his parents even though I didn't know any better. I finally finish the omelets and I put one of them in front of Cas. He snaps out of the trance he was in and looks at his plate in surprise. "It looks delicious!" he says.

We take a bite of the omelets at the same time. Castiel moans and says "Dean! These are the best omelets I've ever tasted!"

I smile. "I'm not completely useless, ya know."

Cas tilts his head, looks at me with his beautiful blue eyes and says "I never thought you were useless, Dean" He's looking down as if almost ashamed that he's telling me this.

"Thank you for the breakfast Dean." Cas says as he leaves the community kitchen to go get ready for his first class.

"Yah. Anytime Cas." I tell him before he slips into our dorm. I hang out and throw our dishes into the sink because I don't have another class for an hour or so.

Cas

When I was little my parents died and I was put in an orphanage. I never had anyone in my life and I'm getting too close to Dean. I'm broken and no one can pick up my pieces. Besides, he's going to leave college soon so I don't know why I thought he would be there for me.

I try to distract myself from thinking of my parents and think of breakfast instead. Dean's omelets were absolutely fabulous. I can't believe that he's such an amazing cook. He should enter the cooking contest later in the year.

Of course. I'm thinking of Dean, again. I need to detach myself from him. I quickly grab my book bag and head down the hallway in the opposite direction of the kitchen, even though this way takes five extra minutes.
