The Sub

Learning

Cas was in a mood when he got home from his parent's house. They had gotten into a fight about Cas still living in his apartment alone. He said he was fine. He liked living alone. It was easier to study and get ready for classes.

His father had informed him that he talked to the landlord, and he would not be renewing Cas lease; Cas was so mad that he left in the middle of the meal hopping on a bus, ignoring the calls from his brother.

Cas kicked the door harder than he needed to when he got home. The bus ride was about forty-five minutes from his parent's house.

He was agitated. He pulled his phone out to call Dean.

"Hey, everything ok," Dean asked.

"No, my family, my dad," Cas sniffed.

"I'm coming over," Dean said, hanging up before Cas could answer.

Twenty minutes later there was a knock on Cas door; Dean was standing there Cas backed up and let him in.

Cas grabbed him for a hug once the man stepped through the doorway, he felt safe in Dean's arms, like nothing could get him.

"Talk to me," Dean said, brushing a soothing hand down his back.

"My dad, he talked to the landlord. He won't renew my lease, and I'm going to have to move back in with my parents because knowing my dad, he talked to most of the properties," Cas said, looking up at Dean.

"You can move in with me if you want," Dean said.

Cas pulled away a bit and looked up to see if there was any teasing in Dean's eyes; there wasn't. Dean wasn't teasing. He wanted Cas to move in with him. 

"What about the landlord?" Cas asked.

"I own the building," Dean said, "why do your parents want you to move back in with them?"

"Because Novak men go to business school, and don't become underpaid teachers," Cas said.

"Wait, not Novak enterprises?" Dean asked.

"Yeah, why?" Cas asked.

"Your father does not like me, I beat him in a bid on the building," Dean said with a small and amused laugh.

Cas moved away and sat on the couch. Now comes the part where Dean tells him they can't be together because of his last name.

"So when do you wanna move in?" Dean asked, looking around, he didn't have much stuff so it would be easy to move him in.

Cas looked at him in confusion. He tilted his head. He was sure that Dean was going to tell him to find some other place to stay.
