Love is a Challenge (Destiel)

First Date

Castiel woke up with a smile on his face. He instantly remembered the night before, and he started to laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Gabriel said, giving his a weird look as he passed the room. Castiel was sitting on his bed, smiling like an idiot and laughing.

Castiel looked up at his brother, and shrugged. "Just in a good mood," he said, getting up from bed. He stretched, and walked over to his closet. He didn't bother with a shower because he had taken one before he went to bed, so he just got dressed.

He put on a fire red button-up and a regular black tie, along with his normal black pants and shoes. He flattened his hair and went to brush his teeth, and soon was running out the door, back pack in hand. He walked into the school building and went to his locker, opening the metal door.

He had just grabbed his things for math when a figure appeared beside him.

"Did you have fun last night?" Bella asked, holding her books in one arm. Castiel nodded, a smile stretching on his face.

"I had an amazing time. He showed me around town, and he showed me this waterfall, and we went swimming, and then it started raining, so we had to run to the car, and then he took me home," Castiel said, closing and locking his locker. Bella and him walked to class together, but Cas had to leave for his own class.

"I'll see you in History," he called, before going to take a seat. The bell rang, and class started.

"Well, I say he should've at least been happy that he didn't starve," Castiel said, furrowing his eyebrows. Bella had told him a story between a few of her friends, and now they were having a very heated discussion on who was in the wrong.

"That's very true," Bella agreed, right as they walked into the cafeteria. Before they could get there food, an arm was slung around Castiel's shoulders.

"Hey, blue eyes," Dean said, a smile on his lips. Castiel smiled back, looking up into his green eyes.

"Hey Dean," he said. He looked over to Bella, just to find that she wasn't there.

"How has your day been so far?" Dean asked, leading Castiel over to the table that he was sitting at the day before. They sat down next to each other.

"Good. It's just been math so far," he said, rubbing his eyes. They hirt from looking at the board for the past hour.

"That's good. So, um.... I have somewhere to be right now, but I just wanted to ask you something," Dean said, sounding unsure of himself. Castiel furrowed his eyebrows yet again.

"Okay, ask," he responded.

"Um... I was wondering if you'd like to go to a movie with me tonight?" Dean asked, raising a single eyebrow. Castiel smiled and chuckled.

"Dean, are you asking me on a date?" he asked, a hint of playfulness in his voice. Dean slowed nodded, looking down at the table.

"I would love to," Castiel replied, laughing slightly at Dean's reaction. Dean looked up at Cas, eyes bright and a smile tugging on his lips.

"Really?" he said, a full grin on his face. Castiel nodded.

"Really," he said. Dean was trying to contain his happiness, but he wasn't doing a good job. "Um... that's great. I'll talk to you in science then. I have to go, I'll see you later."

After one last smile, Dean stood and walked away. Leaving Cas smiling just as widely as he had been.

-

Castiel ran around his room, trying to find something to wear. He threw around his supply of button-ups and dress pants, trying to find the perfect outfit.

He finally settled on a plain white button-up and a pair of dark jeans, no tie. Dean did say to dress casual.

Speaking of Dean, he was due to arrive any minute. Castiel was rushing around, checking himself in the mirror over and over again.

Soon enough, the rumble of the Impala could be heard, and seconds later Dean was knocking on his door.

Castiel was running down the stairs, ready to answer the door. As soon as he reached the first floor, Gabriel shoved him behind the couch, so He couldn't see the front door.

His chest hurt from when he landed, knocking the wind out of him. He heard Gabe open the front door.

"Who are you?" he asked, quite rudely.

"Um... I'm Dean. I'm here to pick up Castiel, this is his address, right?" Dean asked, rubbing the back of his neck amd looking around. He swore this was the right house.

"Yeah, he's here. I'm his older brother Gabriel, now what makes you think that I should allow him to go with you?" Gabe asked, leaning against the door frame.

Castiel finally got his breath back, and was attempting to stand in the tight space between the couch and the wall.

"I... I think your brother is a beautiful person. He's loyal and kind, not to mention incredibly adorable. I want a chance to get to know him more," Dean said, standing tall under Gabriel's hard glare.

Before Gabe could say anything, Castiel finally stood up and managed to walk over to the boys.

"Gabe, leave him alone. I'll be fine," he said, fixing his shirt. Gabriel turned to look at him.

"Just making sure he was good enough for you. Have fun, don't get STD's," he said, walking away from the door. Cas stepped out and closed it behind him.

"Let's go," Dean said, taking Castiel's arm and dragging him towards the car.

-

Within the next 45 minutes, they had arribed at the movie theater and paid. Dean had paid for everything, much against Castiel's protests. Now, they were sitting in the movie theater, talking as they waited for it to start.

"Tell me about yourself," Cas said, putting a piece of popcorn in his mouth.

"Well, I live with my dad and little brother. My mom died in a car crash when I was younger. I work part time at the mechanic shop in town, along with my dad. I'm bisexual, and I hate green beans," Dean said. "You're turn."

"I live with my parents and Gabe, bit my parents are both workaholics, so I never see them. My dad is the manager of a few machanic shops her ein town, and that's why we moved. I'm gay, never had a boyfriend before, and I hate cabbage," Castiel said, finishing with a weird fact like Dean had.

"Your dad owns a few machanic shops? He might jusy be my boss," Dean laughed. Right after that, the movie had started. Castiel attempted to get comfy throughout the entire first part of the movie, but he just couldn't get comfortable.

Noticing Castiel's discomfort, he lifted the armrest and wrapped an arm around the smaller lad, pulling him into his side. Castiel's smiled, finally getting comfortable enough to watch the movie.
