Staring

Chapter Eight: Busted Again

"What? Nothing, I was just getting coffee and I was staring at Dean because he was singing" Cas said nervously

"You weren't just watching at Dean. Listen just stay away from him!" Benny said

"Hey!" Dean said jogging over to Benny and Cas "What the hell are you doing?" Dean asked Benny

"Nothing. I was just talking to him" Benny said jerking his head towards Cas. Dean walked past Benny and put his hand on Cas's arm and asked him "You okay Cas?"

"Ya I'm fine" Cas said quietly, unable to meet Dean's eyes

"What's going on here?" Benny asked, pointing to Cas and Dean

"What the hell were you doing man?" Dean asked stepping closer to Benny

"Okay, what the hell is happening here?" Benny asked, confused

"Dean, it's fine. Forget it, it was nothing" Cas said placing his hand on Dean's tricep

"What are you guys dating or something?" Benny said jokingly. But Cas and Dean both looked right at Benny nervously

"Holy crap are you guys actually dating?" Benny yelled

"Benny shut up!" Dean whispered loudly "Yah, we are okay?"

"I can't believe this" Benny said shaking his head "Is this why you don't shower with the other guys? Because your... ya know... gay?" Benny said trying to be quiet

"Partly"

"How did I not know you're gay!"

"It's a secret"

"Well I figured that out. Why haven't you told anyone?"

"Well I have told Bobby, Ellen, and Sam"

"I mean like, in school. Why is it a secret?"

"Because, I don't want to be treated differently, made fun of for something I can't help being. I'm still the same guy"

"So I'm guessing I can't tell anyone"

"No, if you do I may just punch you in the face"

"Okay" Benny turned to go back to the diner when Dean called "Hey!" Then whispered to Benny "I love that guy over there and if you touch him again I will kill you"

"You just said you l-"

"Yah I know and I meant it, I love him"

"Got it" Benny said before going back into the diner. Dean grabbed Cas's hand, dragged him over to an ally, kissed him and said "Tomorrow at the game, find Sam and sit with him... you know I love you right?"

"Of course, I love you too" Cas said kissing Dean again.

Dean then went back to the diner, sat with his friends, and as soon as he sat down Pam leaned over the table and whispered in his face "You're gay?" With surprise filling her eyes and voice

"God dammit Ben" Dean said leaning back in his chair

"I was the one who sent him out there and the way you stormed out after him and the look on Benny's face when he came back in... Not too hard for me to tell"

"We won't tell anyone Dean" Andrea said

"Thanks, just wait till tomorrow after the game if we win. If we don't, not a word to another living soul 'til I do something. You'll know what it is"

"But can I tell-" Pam started

"No one!" Dean said, cutting her off
