Finding Him

Chapter 9

It's been two days since Dean took me to the diner. I'm walking back to the dorm after my last class. It was really quite boring.

I fish my keys out of my bag and unlock the door. I hear some faint music coming from our room. I swing open the door to see Dean in his pajamas with a ladle from the kitchen, singing on the table.

I'm laughing so hard tears spring to my eyes. Dean finally notices my arrival and abruptly stops singing. He smirks at me and says "Heya Cas!"

The music he's listening to is by ACDC. "Dean? What are you doing?" I question.

"Just listening to the best music the world has ever known!" He says as he hops off the table. The music is still blaring at an inhumanly loud volume.

"You're gonna get us kicked out Dean!" I shout over the music. Dean just laughs and takes my hand and pulls me in to dance to the music.

"You have to live a little bit Cas! Dance!" I laughed at Dean's childish ways but obliged to his request. I moved my shoulders and my head a bit to the music not sure how to dance to this harsh rock music. Dean made it look easy. He looked like a complete rock star. I looked over to him smiling, and watched him dance and drum on invisible drums.

I got a bit more into it, shaking my hips to the loud obvious beat. I knew who ACDC was I just didn't listen to music much. I knew the classics, such as "Highway to Hell" and "Thunderstruck", but this song was clearly neither of the two. We danced to the next song (Eye of the Tiger) and then a slow song played. I thought our dance session was over, but I was pulled back by a strong arm.

Dean pulled me in and dipped me. I just flushed and went along with Dean. He put one hand on my shoulder and one hand on my waist. We just swayed back and forth. Dean sang along to the song and we shuffled across the room, and I had a huge goofy grin on my face. "Why so flustered Castiel" Dean drew out. I blushed even harder and stammered "I-I-I'm not used to slow dancing."

Dean just smirked at me and held me a bit tighter.

Dean belted out the chorus. "I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you, I know you were right believing for so long. I'm all out of love, what am I without you. I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong". Dean twirled me around, chuckling as he did so. I smiled. I liked this. I liked being in Dean's arms as we spun across the room. I had even forgotten about my homework. 

The song ended and Dean stared at me for a second and then let go of me to go turn the music off. I stood in awkward silence. Dean then turned to me and said "Told ya, dancing can be fun!" I chuckled a bit.

"I'm not sure what I was doing was even considered dancing." I scoffed. Dean just grinned at me.

"Nonsense. Your dancing was better than my brothers!" He said pointedly.

"Is that really an accomplishment?" I questioned.

"No..." Dean admitted sheepishly.

"Well I appreciate the effort Dean. Though, now I really need to do my homework." To prove my point I pointed over to the stack of textbooks I had to read through tonight. Dean just sighed.

"Okay. But Cas?" He paused and my eyes jumped over to him. "Don't overwork yourself. I know you are smart and you want to keep your grades up, but remember to take breaks. Okay?"

"Yes Dean." I muttered.
