Earning My Wings. Destiel High School AU.

Chapter Twenty-Three.

Dean walked into my house, his eyes watering.

"Dean? Hey, what's wrong?" I asked concerned. I haven't seen him in a few days because he said he's giving me time with Lucifer which I really appreciate. At the moment though, father and Luci are both gone.

"Cas, I have to tell you something," he said as he stood in front of me. I felt instantly scared.

What if he breaks up with me? Oh god no. Please.

"What?" I asked cautiously.

"That day you were out sick, I had a fight with dad. I told you about it that day," he started.

"The one where he was trying to break us up?" I asked and he nodded.

"Well, now he finally got over it thankfully but, that day. I had walked outside and around the corner where I took you when me and him had a fight, you know?" He asked and I nodded. "Well, Anna. She- you're right. She's trying to take everything from you," he admitted. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"How do you know?" I asked, grabbing his hands in mine and holding them tightly.

"She kissed me that day and told Sammy that I kissed her because he saw," he explained. Rage flew through my blood like some sort of drug.

I felt Dean pull his hands away from mine and put them on my shoulders.

"Babe, you know I would never do that to you," he said and that was when I realized I had tears in my eyes.

Had I really just thought he was lying?

"I know," I whispered but honestly I don't know why but I couldn't shake the thought of him cheating on me willingly from my head.

I backed away from him and turned around.

"Cas?" He said from behind me. I took a deep breath, feeling my body shake slightly. I'm not sure if it was from anger or what.

"Dean, I don't know when Lucifer and father are going to be back and I know if Luci sees you, he won't be nice. I've told him about everything because he's my brother and I promised him I would and he's not happy with you," I tried to dodge the subject of him trying to convince me that he wouldn't do such a thing.

"Okay, but Castiel, please. You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt you. Not after what had happened and I regret that day every single second of every day. I feel absolutely terrible and it eats me up inside and I can't take it half the time. I don't want you to think that I would ever hurt you like that again," he told me, his voice was shaking and I turned around and saw that he was looking up and taking a deep breath as if trying to stop himself from crying.

I couldn't help but to practically throw myself at him, hugging him tightly.

"I'm sorry, Dean," I whispered in his ear. He wrapped his arms around my waist tightly and I leaned back and pressed my lips against his in a heated kiss.

He spun us around and pressed me against the wall next to the door and I let out a small gasp when his hands moved from my hips to my ass.

I let out a moan when he moved from my lips to my neck. His hands moved down to my thighs and picked me up, my legs hooking around his waist.

There was a rattle of the door handle and I was immediately dropped to the floor and we practically ran to sit on the couch, me tripping and landing on top of Dean in a very sexual way, making him moan considering my leg ground down on him.

"Castiel, we're ho-Oh! Castiel!" Father exclaimed and I quickly scrambled to my feet, face on fire. "I leave you home alone for an hour and I come home to this? What will your brother think?" He said just as Luci walked in.

"What will I think of what?" He asked, rounding the corner. I had my head down almost immediately.

"Father, it's not what it looked like," I tried but my voice stammered. Dean quickly stood up and stood next to me.

"Cas, what happened?" Luci asked. "And you know how I feel about this one," he said, his voice sharpening and I knew he was talking about Dean.

"I know, Lucifer," I turned to Dean. "I think you should go. I'll call you later, okay?" I whispered.

"Are you sure?" He asked, grabbing my hand.

"Yeah, bye," I said, kissing his cheek and he left. I looked back up, still feeling really embarrassed. "I'm sorry, father. He came by to tell me something Anna had done and he was trying to make sure I believed him and you guys came in and we freaked out and I tripped I landed on him like that and I'm sorry," I explained quickly.

"What did Anna do?" Lucifer asked me.

"She kissed him and I don't know why but I didn't believe him at first and I kept thinking he was lying and he was trying to make me believe that he wouldn't do that to me or hurt me again and he was about to cry and-" he put his hand up.

"You're rambling again, Cas," he stated. I sighed and let him grab my wrist and take me upstairs.

We entered my room and I plopped down on my bed, feeling an itching feeling on my back. I scratched it and looked over at Lucifer.

"Luci, I know you don't like him because he made me almost kill myself but-" he cut my off.

"I don't care, Castiel. Father deals with him and I don't know how. Especially when you guys have sexual contact so much," he stated.

"We don't even do that that much! I am still a virgin and it's gonna stay that way until I'm stable again and I don't know how long that'll take," I told him, voice raising slightly.

"He hurt you badly, Cas. I don't want that to happen again. I think maybe you should break up with him for now and may-" I stood up off the bed which made him stop talking. I grabbed Gabriel's feather off my nightstand and walked over to where I kept the rest.

I grabbed Lucifer's feather and held them both tightly in my hands.

"What're you doing?" He asked confused. I turned around and looked at him.

"These are feathers of my brothers. The ones who told me that they would protect me but also listen to everything I have to say before jumping to conclusions. The ones who would give someone another chance. What happened to that?" I asked.

"It's still here, it's just, I'm afraid he'll hurt you again," he told me. I glanced over at the door which started to open and father walked in but I didn't stop.

"I understand that, Lucifer. But what would you do," I took a deep breath. "If I told you that I think I may be in love with him?" I said and his eyes widened.

"Are you being serious?" He asked shocked.

"It was bound to happen, Lucifer," father said as my back shot pain through me for a second before I felt a tickling. I reached under my shirt and grabbed the thing before realizing it was another feather.

I pulled it out and looked at it.

"It's another one," I whispered, looking up. Luci sighed and looked at me.

"Alright. I'll give him another chance but that doesn't mean I have to like him, okay?" I nodded and hugged him.

"Thank you," I said in his neck. I felt him kiss the top of my head and I smiled.

"Castiel, I don't want to see any of what happened earlier on the couch, okay? It all stays in the bedroom," father said sternly. I pulled away from Lucifer for a second and nodded.

"Yes, sir," I said which made him smile before he left my room.

"So, cuddle and movie?" Luci asked with a smile and I nodded enthusiastically.

We quickly picked a movie out and made our pallet on the floor of covers like we always did when Gabriel was here and cuddled into each other.

I pressed play on the movie and cuddled into my brother more.

I felt content again.
