The Kids are Alright (Supernatural FanFic)

Part 3

A/N: And so it continues...

Dean sat across from Sam, who was on his laptop. He looked over to Castiel who was sleeping on the bed. Sam glanced up from the screen of his laptop to see Dean looking at Castiel. "Are you okay?" Sam spoke up.

Dean turned back to Sam. "Yeah. Fine."

Sam opened his mouth to say something but Dean interrupted. "I said I was fine, Sam."

Sam put his hands up in defense. "And I believe you."

Dean frowned. "Whatever." He stood up from his chair. "I'm goin' to the bathroom."

Not even a minute later Dean screamed out, "Sam!" Waking Castiel up and making Sam run to the bathroom.

When Sam threw open the door to the bathroom he stopped dead in his tracks. Dean had gotten younger. He looked to be about five and he couldn't even reach the sink anymore. "Sam! I got smaller!" Dean looked up to his brother. "Why do you have to be so tall, man?"

Sam let out the breath he was apparently holding.

"Sam?" Castiel's small voice called out.

Dean frowned. "Since when does he call for you?"

"Since you hurt his feelings," Sam left the bathroom to talk to Castiel.

"Ouch..." Dean looked at his hands.

"What is it, Cas?" Sam sat down on the bed.

"What happened?" Castiel tilted his head. In his current appearance it looked irresistibly adorable.

Sam smiled. "Nothing, Dean just got younger."

"Oh... How old is he now?"

"And why would you care?" Dean said from the door way of the bathroom.

Castiel pouted. Another thing that looked super adorable. "I was just curious."

Dean opened his mouth to speak but Sam cut in. "Dean," he said in a warning tone. Dean shut his mouth.

There was silence for a few seconds before a meow was heard. The three looked over to the window and saw the kitten from yesterday looking in. "He came back." Castiel smiled. He hopped off the bed and headed to the chair at the table. He climbed up the chair and looked at the kitten. "We should let him in." Castiel turned to the brothers.

Dean slapped a hand on his forehead. "No, Cas. I thought I was clear on this earlier."

Castiel jumped off the chair. "You mean when you called me a baby?"

It felt like someone just threw a bucket of cold water on him. "No! Not-Not that!"

While Dean tried to explain himself to Castiel Sam couldn't take his eyes off the kitten. He couldn't quite place it, but there was something off about it. It was just an ordinary orange tabby cat, wasn't it? It should be... Sam's suspicions were confirmed when he saw the kitten smile. Ironically, a Chesire cat smile. A wide creepy smile that sent shivers down his spine. And then the kitten took off. Sam stood up, about to follow it, but stopped. He turned to Dean and Cas who were staring at him curiously. "Stay here." And then he ran out the door.

"Sammy!" Dean called out. "Stay here, Cas." And then Dean followed Sam, slamming the door behind him.

"Wait! Dean!" Castiel yelled as the door slammed shut. "Don't leave me here alone..."

"This is not what I wanted!"

Alice twirled a strand of her hair between her fingers. "Your point?"
