And just like that, I'm back from the dead.

I reread this before continuing and I'm just realizing I said Dean had a job at Bobby's mechanics shop but he has not once actually worked there except for a brief mention.. i also said he was captain of the football team and only mentioned that once

×Castiel's POV×

I watched as Dean walked away, worry evident on my face. How did he get all those bruises? He obviously was hiding something from me, but that just made me want to know even more. He seemed really upset.

I decided to call Charlie. She was his best friend after all. Maybe she knew something about it.

"Hello?" She answered cheerfully.

"Hey. Uh... It's Cas," I spoke into the phone, "I just saw Dean at the store and he uh... He had a bunch of bruises on him.. I tried to ask him about it but he gave me the cold shoulder and ran off."

It was silent on the other end.

"Do you uh... Know anything about that?" I asked.

"Listen Cas," she started, "Don't look into it too much... You weren't supposed to see him like this. Dean will tell you when he's ready. For now, you just have to respect his privacy."

I sighed. "Okay.. thank you."

×Time Skip (Brought To You By Mary Winchester on the Ceiling)×

The next day after school, I was walking to meet Gabe at his truck when I heard a voice from behind me. "Hey fag," it called out. I growled, clutching the straps of my backpack as I turned around.

"You're not supposed to be on school grounds. You're suspended," I said, looking Lucifer in the eyes. It was hard not to laugh as I saw his funny looking face mask.

He smirked. "I know," he stepped towards me until I was backed into the wall of the school, "I just thought I'd come pay you a visit."

"Well I don't want to see you so," I tried to dodge around him but he grabbed my arm and pushed me back to the wall.

"Hey!" A familiar voice called from behind him as he pulled Lucifer off of me. I groaned. Gabriel.

"I suggest you leave," he growled.

Lucifer laughed loudly, "or what? What could you possibly do to me, short stack?"

"Oh, I'll do much worse than Dean did... No one fucks with my little brother," he said, a threatening look on his face.

Not believing a word Gabe said, Lucifer threw a punch aimed for Gabe's face, but Gabe caught his fist in mid air, squeezing it and bending it back, causing Lucifer to shout. Thank God my brother has a history with martial arts or we'd both be pretty screwed right now.

"Okay! Okay! I'll leave!" He forcefully pulled his fist from Gabe's grasp and turned on his heels, mumbling under his breath as he walked away.

Gabe turned his gaze on me with a small smile. "Can't you stay out of trouble for one day?"

I rolled my eyes as he led me to his truck. "You didn't have to do that Gabe. I had it under control."
