Angels Among Us *A Destiel high school story*

#8 Castiel's POV

"He did WHAT?!", shrieks my sister Anna, as we walk around the grounds of Heaven.

I was visiting her for a little while, well, until I got over Dean's surprising reaction to me being gay.

Her face was red and she had a look that could kill.

"Honestly Cas, WHY would he say something like that? The nerve of that guy. Just forget about him, he doesn't deserve you, anyway."

I nod, trying to believe that she's right.

Maybe she is.

But, why would he act that way towards me?

He seemed accepting enough...

I sigh.

"Okay Anna, I guess I will do just that. Now then, I should probably be heading back to Gabe's. He worries constantly about me when I am gone, you know, since Balthazar?"

Anna nods, smiling slightly.

"Cas, it's going to be okay. You'll find that special someone."

I shrug and laugh.

"No Anna, I will not."

She grins.

"Don't say I told you so than, Cas."

And with that, she leads me over to the gate.

Out beyond it, I see endless sky.

I think than of Dean.

Quickly, I shake my head to clear the thoughts there.

"His loss.", I whisper, as I take to the air and sore away.

Anna waves and shouts: "BYE CASTIEL!"

I do not hear her though, my coat is flapping hard against the wind.

Closing my eyes, I picture home.

I see Gabriel taking out the trash and looking up at the clear sky, awaiting my return.

When I open my eyes, I am back in my room at his house, lying splayed out on my bed.

The angel quilt is folded up neatly and has been placed at the end of it.

I smile to myself, glad to have people like Gabriel and Anna in my life.

Just then, the to my room opens.

"Cassie, you're home!", Gabriel says, crushing me into an awkward hug.

I laugh and nod.

"Yes Gabe, I have returned. Just like I said I would."

He nods and sits down on my bed.

"How was Heaven?"

I shrug.

"Pretty normal. Anna and I talked about stuff."

He smiles.

"Okay, listen Cassie, I met this guy today when I went out shopping-"

I stop him then.

"YOU went out, SHOPPING?!"

He scoffs, loudly.

"Don't look so surprised. We were out of hamburger patties. Anyway, that's besides the point."

I nod, still not over the fact that my brother ACTUALLY went shopping.

"What then, what is the point?", I ask.

His hand is subconsciously touching the quilt again, he smiles at me.

"You never told me that you know Dean Winchester. Why?"

Oh that, well I should have seen it coming.

I sigh, sadly.

"Yes, about that. I am not sure he ever wants to see me again. Something happened last night."

He stops running his hand on the quilt and looks worried back at me.

"Castiel, what's wrong?"

I know Gabriel's serious when, he calls me by my actual name.

It is actually a little scary when he does.

Pulling my tie off, I throw it at the nearest piece of furniture I can find.

A chair by my desk.

I than unbutton my coat and shrug it off, all without looking at him.

"Cassie please, you can tell me."

I nod, slowly.

Taking a deep breath, I tell him about my encounter with Dean last night.

"He WHAT?!", my brother shrieks, a lot like Anna, only a boy higher in pitch.

I sigh, kicking my shoes off.

"He ran out of there it seemed, the minute I told him that I was gay. It was like I had slapped him. I did not even get a chance to run after him or anything."

His face reddens just like Anna's, and he gets up angrily.

"Well, thank you for telling me, Cassie. Rest assured, Dean Winchester will never bother you again! I'll make sure of it! And, just to show him there's no hard feelings, we will BOTH go to his house tonight and pretend that everything's fine. Alright?"

I want to say no, that I am fine.

But, I DO want to let him know I am okay.

Let him know that I do not need him in my life.

"Okay Gabe, we will go. What time should I be ready?"

He smiles, smirking.

"6:30pm."

"Okay."

He begins to walk out, than stops.

"And, Cassie?"

"Yes?", I ask.

"Don't doddle."
