Fame Crazy (Sequel to Strings Attached)

Chapter 197

A/N I can't wait to finish chapter 200 to start another book because scrolling through the first 196 chapters to get to this one is a pain in the ass(butt)

"Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take me away!" Dean sings, loudly and off key, as soon as they leave the building. Castiel laughs, not bothered by all the weird looks people are giving them. If they don't know the Aerosmith classics, it's their own fault.

"You're really gonna do that here?" Castiel asks with an amused smile.

"Hell yes I am," Dean replies with a grin. "This is my song, man. I gotta sing along."

"That's an interesting take on singing," Castiel says teasingly.

"C'mon, you know you love it." Dean takes his hand and starts to pick up where the song is now, but he pauses, looking down at his boyfriend's hand. "You're still shaking?"

Castiel pulls his hand away. "I'm fine."

"But —"

"I'm fine," Castiel repeats, more forcefully this time.

"Okay, okay." Dean puts his hands up in a surrender. "But if you're not, you should tell me, okay?"

Castiel just nods. He doesn't really mean it, of course. He doesn't want or need a therapist of any sort, but Dean doesn't have to know that. He's an independent angel who don't need to man.

"We're heading to Toy Story Mania," Gabriel tells the two of them, gesturing to his boyfriend. "You guys coming, or are you going to stay here and make a fool out of yourselves listening to Aerosmith?"

"What, we can't do both?" Dean jokes. "Nah, kidding. I've heard Toy Story Mania is awesome."

"Didn't you say the same thing about the Rockin' Rollercoaster?" Castiel reminds him, a bit reluctant to trust him on this. It seems like all Dean's favorite rides are the ones Castiel hates.

"No, this is one you'll love," Dean assures him. "It's completely harmless. Someone — Adam and Samandriel? — are on it with Alex right now, and if they can take a literal baby on this ride, you can ride it, too."

Castiel hesitates, then asks, "What type of ride is it?"

"I think you shoot some stuff and try to get a better score than whoever you're playing against," he says vaguely. "I don't really know. It's not a rollercoaster or a thriller type thing, though. It's gonna be fun for both of us. I promise."

Castiel reluctantly agrees. "But if it's not, I'm never trusting you again."

"But if you don't trust me, how will you know what to ride?" Dean counters.

"I just won't ride anything," Castiel replies without a moment's hesitation. "My tour has me completely wiped out. I could take the next week to just relax. Hell, I could just go home for a week."

"What? No!" Dean says immediately. "You can't just go home!"

"Then this ride better be as good as you say it is," Castiel replies with a smug smirk.

Dean frowns. "Well, shit."

Fortunately, Castiel decides that everything about the ride is going to be awesome even before the ride actually starts. The queue is adorable. It's as if they shrunk down to the size of the characters, and they're frolicking through Andy's room like new toys.

They sit down in their cart, with Castiel and Dean on one side and Sam and Gabriel on the other, so they can see each other, but not the happy couple. Castiel can't help but laugh every time he sees his boyfriend in the ridiculous 3D glasses they were given. He should probably keep his eyes off of him once the ride begins if he wants to have any hope of winning the game.
