Fame Crazy (Sequel to Strings Attached)

Chapter 50

A/N Ayyyyyyy chapter 50!!! Hey, let's have a recap of our last 50 chapter markers!

Strings Attached, Chapter 50: Dean and Castiel got together.

Strings Attached, Chapter 100: Dean and Castiel got together. Again. Cuz they broke up.

Fame Crazy, Chapter 50, AKA Strings Attached, Chapter 150: something happens.

This might be really long. It might be really short. All I know is I'm ending this chapter in a specific place, whether it fits my desired approximate word count or not. Enjoy!

Castiel checks his watch for the twentieth time in the last three minutes. 2:50 pm. Just like last time. Great.

Dean had left earlier that morning to help Bobby out at the junkyard; Sabriel disappeared to do something cute together; Adamandriel — still stubbornly 'just friends' — were watching YouTube all day, and Anna went out somewhere with Cain. Bye bye to all the ships. No one really knows where Michael went, but that's not unusual. Lucifer went to the park to play guitar without people bothering him — it seems he really is committed to learning how to play that thing. That left Castiel and Claire, who chatted together for a few hours, which was fun, of course, but you can only talk to one person for so long.

When Dean texted him and said he was almost done at Bobby's, Castiel was thrilled beyond belief. They agreed to meet at the ice cream place a few minutes down the road from the Novaks' house at 3:00. Well, Castiel massively overestimated the drive time, because here he is, almost fifteen minutes early.

Bored, he pulls out his phone and does what he always does when he's bored and doesn't already hate himself — he scrolls through Twitter mentions.

"Idk who @CastielNovak's friend was in his insta pic, but he's almost as hot as Castiel himself!"

Castiel chuckles to himself at that. Well, not a bad start.

"My mom got me @CastielNovak tickets for my birthday today!!! I'm to excited!!!!!!"

Castiel types a quick "Happy birthday!" before moving on.

"Da fuck is up with @CastielNovak's trench coat in this pic? Who the fuck said that was a good idea?" Attached is a picture from the People's Choice awards, where he wore his awesome trench coat.

He usually ignores tweets like this unless he has a funny response, but he refuses to let this go. They can make fun of his looks, they can make fun of his music, but no one makes fun of his trench coat.

He quotes the tweet with, "That thing is a gift from the gods, thank you very much." Okay, so that's not very rude of him, and actually probably comes off as entertaining, but it's a lot tamer than what he was originally going to say.

"Heard @CastielNovak on the radio today and I wanted to puke."

Great. So nice. Not.

"Gracie's always talking about how much she loves @CastielNovak. She's proof our generation is doomed."

Castiel bites his lip and scrolls to the next one.

"I'm so fucking done with @CastielNovak. No one cares anymore, man! Just fucking kys already!"

Usually, this is when he decides to stop, but he's still got forever and a half to kill until Dean shows up, so he keeps reading.

"Found this adorable #Harriel fic on AO3!" Attached is a link to some Harry Styles x Castiel Novak fan fiction that Castiel definitely won't read because it's not on Wattpad.
