If I Just Lay Here. // Destiel

Bets

They only sleep for around 20 minutes, so when they wake up it's only 3:30, and Cas is the first to awake. The house is still silent, and their clothes form a trail from the door to the bed. The lie close to each other, their bodies entangled and Dean with his head on Castiel's chest. He looks up at Cas and smiles timidly.
"You back sleepyhead?"
Dean groans in reply and whispers, "yes," Castiel grins at him,
"To be fair, I've only just woken up myself." Castiel looks around. "Dean. I hate to be the one to ask the million dollar question here, but, who are we going to tell?"
Dean hesitates and looks Castiel in the eyes. "My Dad won't mind, he already knows I'm, uh, gay, I told him when I was fourteen, and he let slip to Bobby and Ellen one night. Accidentally of course, so they know, and I don't think their bothered by it. Charlie's pretty sure, even though I haven't said anything to her openly. Oh and Sam, he was the first person I ever told. The only person that won't be okay with it is mom." Dean hesitates again and waits for Castiel to speak. When he doesn't, Dean assumes its because he's waiting for a prompt, a direct question so he'll know exactly what to say.
"What about your family?" Cas laughs a sad laugh, and Dean looks back at him.
"Gabriel will be okay, but no one else will. I'll call Gabriel later and make him swear not to tell anyone. Especially dad or Lucifer." The room goes quiet at the mention of the name as the boys remember that he's the reason they are together. Their silence is broken by the ringing of Dean's phone. It's Sam. "Hey Dean. Can you come get me, we, uh," Sam sounds as if there is something he's trying to avoid saying. "Well, uh, we went for a walk, and, uh, kinda, got lost." Dean can't help but to laugh at that.
"Okay Sammy, where are you?" He says it through laughter.
"Erm, Parliament Street," Dean's confused expression is directed at Cas.
"That's miles away. How'd you get there."
"Well we, uh, took a bus, but we caught it on the wrong side of the street and it took us here instead of back home." Dean tries to hide his laughter, as he tells Sam to stay where he is so he and Cas can pick him up.
Cas and Dean retrieve their clothes from the hallway and Dean's room and put them back on, as Dean moves his TV stand into the middle of the room to get his jeans which were thrown over there, he comes across a brown bag, and picks it up wearing a shocked expression. He places it on the bed while he puts his jeans on, and when he picks it back up he opens the bag and pulls out an old Polaroid. Cas looks at it in awe. "I've always wanted one of those." Dean examines it to find it's still in pretty decent condition considering it had been behind a TV stand for at least two years.
"My dad brought it me but I lost it." Cas starts to look through the photos in the bag, and finds one of fourteen year old Dean with Anna. Dean's smile was timid back then as well, and Anna dominated most of the frame. Dean raises his eyebrows. "I forgot about that." Dean looks at the camera and then at Cas, and then at the mirror on the wall. Cas seems to be thinking the same thing as Dean and they position themselves in front of the mirror.
Dean uses blu-tac to add the photo to his collection and with a black marker, writes on the white section below the photograph, the date. He smiles at Cas who goes to kiss him again, but Dean puts his finger on Cas' lips and whispers, "Sam."

They find Sam and Jess sitting on the sidewalk, and Dean starts to laugh all over again. He looks at the expression on Sam's face, bright red with embarrassment. "Ah, I'm sorry," he says through his laughter. "It's just so funny. Get in the car," still laughing. Sam doesn't even try to call shotgun, so Cas does instead. In the car Sam sits in the back, and perks up after Dean buys them a burger. "So, what did you too get up to." Dean looks at Cas who shrugs.
"He's your brother."
Dean looks at Sam through the mirror, and Sam seems to understand the look instantly.
"What?! Are you serious." Dean and Cas both grin and Jess looks confused. Sam notices her confusion, and says to her, "They're a thing. Like. A thing. Thing!"
Jess screams and hugs Cas from behind who laughs. She speaks to no one in particular, "What about Charlie? Does she know yet?!" Dean shakes his head.
"That's gonna be a surprise," Dean revealed that they planned to watch a movie that night, and instead of openly telling her, they were just going to kiss in front of her. Jess seems disappointed that she'd miss that, so Dean invites her to stay over night, just for that.

Their plan works. They sit watching 'Grease,' when the two eighteen year olds sitting leaning against the couch lean over and plant their lips on the others'. When Charlie notices she jumps up from the couch with her mouth open and points from one to the other, making a strange high-pitched noise. Sam and Jess struggle to contain their laughter and are almost in tears, as Charlie continues to look in shock at the two of them. It takes her a while to say anything and when she does it's barely audible. "I thought you were straight." Dean looks at her and shrugs, and Charlie screams and wraps her arms like a vice around Dean's neck. "Oh, and by the way," she says turning to Sam. "You owe me ten bucks."
