Stories: a Destiel high school AU

Chapter 4

Cas's P.O.V 

Some where across town Cas  looked out his window. He saw the stars that shone in stark contrast to the darkness of the sky . The stars reminded him of the freckles on Dean's face . The sprinkling of stardust across the bridge of his nose made him even more attractive . " Dean is probably never going to like me like that , I'll just be another friend in the solar system of acquaintances surrounding him . He is in the the center and I'm Pluto . It doesn't matter what Jo says . I'll just be another friend."  

Cas never really felt this way about anyone before. He had never been in love . He went on a date once during his freshman year to the movies with this girl Hannah , but it was with a bunch of  her friends so it didn't count. He was shy and pathetic.  In his mind he couldn't see how anybody could ever like him as a  friend or more than  a friend.  Dean smiled and it felt like the whole world was going to explode . For Cas , nothing like this had happened , this was new . "My smile never made anybody's world turn on their side." Cas thought .

Cas has been alone for most of his life and he's even more alone now ,that his dad ran out on them . Just up and vanished , said he was going to get takeout food and then didn't come back . His mother died when he was 4 years old  right after Gabe  was born. Mr. Chuck Novak was never really the same . The mediocre life went on for 12 more years like that . Then dad left . That's when 22 yr old Michael  became head of the famliy  and 19 year old Luc was pulled out of college .  Any friends that Cas  had deserted him . Funny how people get deserted in the moments they need company the most. 

That's just what Dean will do  Cas thought. . "He might befriend me for a week so he can copy a paper and then leave"  Cas looked up at the  stars again . He wondered if  at any point in history someone was looking up at the same sky with the same predicament . " Probably not,   I'm alone  in that sense. "  

"Hey Cas, are you still awake ?" Gabe called to Cas

"Yes Gabe,  what do you want?"  

" Can I come in ?" 

" Whatever."

Gabe slowly opened the door to the small room occupied by Castiel Novak . "Cas, I heard you talking to yourself again. I was worried . " 

"Is this one of your tricks Gabriel ? Am I going to confess something deep and personal and you are going to record  it and spread it around school ?" Cas said 

" Nah bro, I  just wanted to talk . I thought that the psychiatrist that Micheal toook you to helped, did it?" 

" No ." Cas said " it didn't help I'm more anxious than ever. "

" You were talking about , a friend. Are they nice ? Do you like them ? Like, LIKE  them ? Is this what this whole thing is about ? "

"Yes"

"C'mon . You gotta tell me more!  What's her name ?"

"It's not her " Cas's face turned a dark crimson ." It's  Dean Winchester" 

" Is that it, that you're gay ? Sure our family is a little jacked up but  Micheal and Luc don't care " Gabe declared

" No it's his friends and his dad, they can't find out he might be gay or bi, or  that he's talking to someone who is not completely 100% heterosexual; they'll never let it go.  He might get kicked out of football because ; from what I've heard  around most of his friends are grade A d-bags. "

" Bro , what  I  think you need to do is call him and set up a date.  Go out have fun. Show the haters up with Castiel Novak's fabulousness " Gabe said as he twirled in a spinny chair near Cas's desk . 

" But I don't have his number." Cas said " You look stupid spinning in that chair " Cas laughed 

"  I'm ignoring that . Don't worry I have it . I got it from Sam . Call him" Gabe handed him the number .

Cas dialed the number" Hello ? Is this Dean ?"

the voice on the other end said " Yes, this is Dean"

"Its Castiel  "

"Hey , Cas I was going to call you , how did you get my number?"

" My brother Gabe. How did you get my number?"

"Jo gave me your number" 

They both laughed. Then they spoke at the same time ." You go first" Dean  said

"Well ,I was wondering , maybe , you could ...possibly go out with me sometime. There I said it . Feel free to mock me 'till the end of time. " Cas said, flustered. 

" i would never mock you, because I think  that is a great idea. How about tomorrow ? "

"Tomorrow , perfect" Cas said with that funny butterfly feeling still in his stomach . 

" Looks like you have a date" Gabe said.
