Bullets and Brain Damage

Chapter 4

So, when I said that thing about June 6, I mean that's when I'll start regularly updating. I'll update before then(hopefully), just not at a normal schedule. Anyway onto the story:
Cas's POV
Dean and I have known each other for a couple weeks now, and I want to have Dean over for dinner on Friday night. So I bring it up at dinner on Tuesday, when Anna wants us to talk about relationships.

"Adam and I kissed...." Samandriel says.

We all look at him. He's only 12.

"It was an accident! I tripped in gym and he tripped and fell on top of me and our lips just fell together...."

"Did you like it?" Gabriel asks.

"Yeah...." Samandriel says nervously.

"Cool." Gabe says.

"Well Gabe, have you asked that Kali girl out yet?" Dad asks.

"Nah, saw her making out with Mercury." Gave says.

"When has that ever stopped you?" Anna says snarkily.

"She's supposed to be dating Baldur." Gabriel says.

"Oh..." Anna says.

"Why would she kiss Mercury then? If she's dating Baldur," I ask.

"Because she's stupid Cas, that's why." Gabriel says.

"Oh, ok." I say.

"So how are you and Dean doing Cas?" Anna asks.

"Well, I was actually wondering if I could bring him over for dinner on Friday night." I ask.

"Of course Castiel." Dad says.

"Thank you daddy!" I say.

Dad chuckles. "You're welcome."

"How about you Anna? Any special man or lady in your life?" Gabriel asks.

Anna blushes. "Well, there is this one girl, Ruby...."

Everyone aw's.  

After dinner I go and turn on my stars and call Dean.

"Hi Dean!"

"Hey Cas."

"Do you wanna come meet my family on Friday? We'd have dinner and then maybe daddy and Anna will let me show you my stars! They're really pretty Dean!"

He chuckles. "I'd love too."

"Yay! Great Dean, I'll see you then!"

Dean's POV
I'm weeping as I shove the gun into my coat pocket. I don't want to do this, but Zacheriah's getting impatient.

I've fallen for Cas.

That's right, Dean Winchester, the great assassin, has fallen in love with his target.

It's only been three weeks, but I can't do it.

I can't kill him.

I drive to his house and am let in. I get out of my car and Cas rushes to meet me. He throws his arms around me.

"Dean! I'm so glad you could make it!"

I chuckle and hug him. He drags me inside with a big goofy grin on his face. He pulls out a chair for me and I blush and sit down. He sits down next to me.

"Dean, you remember Anna, and this is Gabriel, Samandriel, and my dad." Cas says.

Cas's dad chuckles. "Call me Chuck. I'm glad I can finally meet Cas's best friend."

I gulp. "Best friend?"

Anna chuckles. "Oh yeah. First and only friend really. He... he never got out much...." she starts tearing up.

Cas looks down, and Gabriel and Samandriel are fighting back tears.

"Everyone, we have a guest. Let's not settle on the past..." Chuck says.

"Ok daddy!" Cas says.

"So Dean, what do you do for a living?" Anna asks.

"I work at a company, Adler Inc. I'm a business manager." I say.

"Ooh, fancy." Gabriel says.

I chuckle. "How old are you Gabriel?"

"Fourteen." He says.

"Really? I have a brother your age." I respond.

"His name?"

"Sam."

"Sounds cute." Gabe says.

"No." Anna, Chuck, Samandriel, Cas, and I say in unison.

Gabe scowls.

We eat dinner, a shrimp pasta with an Alfredo sauce, and then Cas begs his dad to let me see his stars.

"Please daddy? Just for a few minutes? I really want Dean to see them!"

Chuck laughs. "Ok Castiel, go ahead."

I'm slowly trudging behind Cas. I don't want to do this I don't want to do this I don't want to do this.

Cas closes the door and turns off the lights. He turns on the stars and pulls me on to the bed.

They're beautiful. He's staring at them like an innocent child. He looks so calm and peaceful. I'm crying silently as I put the gun on his chest. He stops and he looks at me with worry.

"Dean?"

I pull the gun away.

"I can't do it Cas, I can't do it." I say.

"Can't do what Dean? Why do you have a gun?"

"I've been lying to you Cas. My name isn't Dean Smith. It's Dean Winchester, and I don't work for a company, I'm an assassin. And you're my latest mission."

Cas's POV
After Dean explains it to me, he explains it to my family.

"I was sent to kill Cas by a Zacheriah Adler. Apparently you owe him some money, and this was your warning to pay it."

"Dad?" Anna asks.

Chuck's head is in his hand.

"It's not me, it was your mother. Kids, your mother cheated on me with many men. Zacheriah Adler was one of them. She stole money from him, blamed it on me. This must be his way of revenge.... that should be for her." He says with a groan.

"Listen, I can help all of you. But it's going to involve a lot of things." I say.

"Whatever it is, we'll do it." Anna says.
