The Cell

15: Mikaelson's Ball

•Two days later•

Dean looked in the mirror and straightened his bow tie, tightening it a little bit and smiling, he looked over at Cas and chuckled softly, walking over, he fixed his collar and then straightened his regular tie.

"There. Now you don't look like a three year old did your tie for you" he teased, Cas rolled his eyes.

"Ha ha ha" he said sarcastically, Dean smiled and pecked his lips and grabbed his hand, lacing their fingers, they walked down the stairs, Dean smiled and kissed Cas's cheek, Cas smiled and blushed, looking down shyly, Dean chuckled.

"Since Samantha doesn't want to go she will be staying at Ric's" Damon said, everyone nods and then they leave for the Mikaelson's mansion.

Dean could tell Cas was nervous, they had taken the Impala while everyone else took Damon's car.

"Hey... what's wrong?" Dean asked softly, squeezing Cas's hand comfortingly.

"I just... I guess I'm nervous... I mean most of the people there are gonna be vampires or hybrids... I'll be one of the only humans and it... its kinda scary" Cas admits softly, Dean kisses his cheek gently.

"It'll be okay Cas. I won't let anyone hurt you. I promise" he said softly, Cas looked up at Dean and smiled softly.

"My hero" he said softly, Dean chuckled and parked at the giant mansion.

"Woah..." Cas mumbled.

"Yeah... its insanely big" Dean nodded and got out, vamp speeding to Cas's door so he could open it for him, Cas smiled.

"Thank you" he said as he got out, Dean shrugged and grabbed his hand gently, smiling softly, they all walked in and Cas looked around, his breath hitching, this place was huge! Music was already playing throughout the giant mansion, Cas looked up at Dean. Dean smiled softly at Cas and winked, Cas blushed and smiled back.

Dean chuckled quietly and led Cas to the drink table to get him something to drink. Cas smiled and took the clear plastic cup from Dean and took a sip, smiling and looking around.

"This place is nice." He whispers, Dean nods in agreement and looks around.

"Yeah." He mumbles as he looks at Cas and smiles softly.

"You look great in that suit by the way babe." He says softly, Cas blushes deeply at the nickname and smiles.

"Thank you." He says, Dean chuckled and shrugged, kissing Cas's cheek gently, Cas smiled and leaned into the kiss, closing his eyes, Dean smiled and pulled away, he put Cas's drink on the table and led him to the dancefloor, he put one hand on Cas's waist, the other one held Cas's hand, Cas put his free arm loosely around Dean's neck and laid his head gently on his shoulder as they danced slowly.

Dean held Cas close, his eyes closed as he breathed softly against the top of Cas's head, breathing in his scent, he pushed down his hunger and continued dancing with Cas.

"I love you so much Cas." Dean whispered softly into Cas's ear, Cas closed his eyes and nuzzled Dean's neck.

"I love you too Dean." Cas whispered, kissing Dean's neck, Dean smiled softly and swayed more, sighing softly and kissing Cas's cheek gently, followed by his neck. He was so hungry but he didn't want to hurt Cas.

"Cas... I'm hungry." Dean whimpered slightly, he felt Cas stiffen slightly and then relax and nod gently, bending his neck slightly.

"Go ahead. I trust you." Cas whispered, Dean swallowed thickly as the veins crawled under his eyes and his fangs came out, he kissed Cas's neck again and then bit down gently, closing his eyes and moaning quietly at the taste. Dean held Cas a little closer and a little tighter, not wanting to let him go and lose the taste of the boy's blood in his mouth. God, he tasted amazing. Cas closed his eyes tightly for a second, holding onto Dean, playing with his hair as they continued to sway so no one would get suspicious. "Okay.. Dean that's enough." Cas whispered softly, Dean reluctantly pulled away, nodding gently, he covered Cas's bleeding neck and ripped the skin on his wrist, he let Cas drink a little and then licked Cas's blood off his fingers and off of Cas's neck and they continued dancing, laughing and smiling.

‡After The Ball‡

Cas stayed the night again, he and Dean were laying in Dean's bed in his room, Cas's chin on Dean's bare chest as he looked up at the boy, Dean playing with Cas's hair, smiling softly at the boy as they just stared at each other with soft smiles. Its cliché but its them. Its their love.

"I love you so much." Dean whispered, Cas smiled softly, blushing deeply.

"I love you so much too." Cas whispered back gently as he placed a soft kiss to Dean's chest. "What's it like?" He asked, looking up at Dean curiously, Dean frowned.

"What's what like?" He asked, Cas sighed softly.

"Everything. Being a vampire... you said when you love someone that's human its hard to resist their blood." Cas said, Dean nodded a little. "What's so hard about it?"

"When you become a vampire... everything's heightened... love, hate, anger, sadness... hunger. The emotions can become too much and sometimes.... vampires turn off their humanity so they don't feel... so they have no remorse." Dean said. "Your hearing, speed, smell, taste, and sight are heightened." He added. "I can hear your heart beating in your ribcage, smell your blood pumping in your veins..." he said softly, his hand absentmindedly trailing up and down Cas's back. "Its hard to resist drinking from you... you're like my own... personal dose of heroin.." Dean whispered, Cas listened intently the whole time, staring up at Dean as the boy slowly rolled them over so he was hovering over Cas, Cas bit his bottom lip gently.

"That good, huh?" Cas whispered, Dean nodded lightly, he heard Cas's heartbeat pick up slightly.

"Are you scared?" Dean whispered, Cas shook his head.

"No." He whispered, chewing his bottom lip gently, Dean licked his lips lightly.

"Are you sure?" Dean whispered, Cas nodded. "Good." Dean whispered before slamming their lips together in a hard kiss, Cas gasped into the kiss and kissed back quickly, closing his eyes and pulling Dean a little closer.

After a 45 minute make out session Dean pulled away, chuckling.

"That lasted longer than expected." He whispered, smiling. Cas smiled and rolled his eyes playfully.

"Dean, I was on the varsity swim team for two years." Cas said sassily, Dean chuckled and rolled his eyes and went back to kissing Cas, and after 45 more minutes he pulled away and laid next to Cas and the two cuddled as Cas fell asleep. Dean stayed up for a few more hours, just admiring the sleeping boy on his chest before he actually fell asleep, blue eyes and dark hair filling his dreams.
