Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell (Sterek) (Destiel)

Taking a risk

It wasn't five minutes into the car ride before Dean was drilling Cas.

"So who are these angels exactly?"

"They're friends." Cas answered vaguely.

"Do these friends have names?" Dean snapped.

Cas rolled his eyes. "Dean, why can't you just trust me?"

"I do trust you, but I don't trust these friends of yours." Dean snapped.

"The least you know the better. They asked me to come alone. I'm already taking a risk allowing you to go with me. I need them to trust me." Cas answered gruffly.

"You're taking a risk going at all." Dean snapped.

"Okay, let's change the subject shall we?" Sam cut in.

"Fine." Dean snapped.

"Stiles, Derek, how much did you two actually interact?" Dean asked glancing his rear view mirror.

Derek felt Stiles tense next to him.

"Quite a bit actually. We had several mutual friends." Derek answered.

"But you two weren't friends."

Stiles could see Dean frowning in the mirror.

Stiles and Derek glanced at each other.

"I wouldn't call it a friendship necessarily." Stiles answered fidgeting slightly.

Derek smirked seeing Stiles fidget. He always did when he was nervous.

"Then what would you call it?" Dean pressed.

"More of a love hate relationship. We loved to hate each other" Derek piped up.

"You two are awfully civil for two people who hate each other." Dean narrowed his eyes at the pair through the mirror.

"Well we figured you and Cas were fighting enough for the both of us." Stiles sneered.

Sam chuckled.

"Okay, alright, moving on." Dean huffed.

"Derek, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself." Sam turned the attention to the werewolf.

"What do you want to know?" Derek asked.

"Let's start with your family." Sam suggested.

This time it was Derek's turn to tense.

"Sam, that's kind of a sensitive subject." Stiles said quietly.

"Okay, umm, are you from Beacon Hills?" Sam asked not pushing it.

"Yeah." Derek nodded.

"What brought you to Kansas?" Dean asked glancing back at Derek.

"Just a lot of bad memories there." Derek answered vaguely.

"I understand that." Dean nodded.

"Is this the place?" Dean asked stopping in front of a small diner.

"Yes." Cas nodded.

Everyone climbed out of the car.

"Wait here." Cas spoke seriously.

"Whoa, excuse me?" Dean snapped.

"They said come alone." Cas huffed.

Dean gave Cas a disbelieving look.

"If I decide to do anything else stupid, I'll let you know." Cas snarked before walking into the diner.

"Can you believe him?" Dean huffed as he started pacing.
