Unlikely Lovers

Chapter 6

Cas never did go back to that place, and it felt surprisingly good not following the rules. He stayed with Dean and Sam now, no one ever came looking for him; the family obviously didn't care enough. He had gone back to school after a few days, and he was no longer the quiet kid in class. He started talking more and smiled like an idiot whenever he thought of Dean. He blushed and laughed every time he passed Dean in the halls and he didn't know how life could get any better for him.
The last bell rang releasing all the students from school; or as some would say prison. Christmas break was upon them and they didn't have to go back for two whole weeks. This would be the first Christmas Castiel would ever had that he might actually enjoy. Now he had people to be thankful for, and people he loved and who loved him back. Dean waited for Cas in the car with Sam in the backseat. The ride back to the motel was delightful, Dean had classic rock playing and sang along out of tune causing Cas to laugh. Sam frowned since he preferred more modern music.

Sam rushed to the door and was greeted with the furry face of his new companion.

"You got a name for that thing yet?" Dean chuckled.

Sam gave a little frown of disapproval that he referred to his friend as a thing.
"His is Buddy." Sam said going back to scratching behind the dog's ears.

Dean scoffed throwing his bag onto the floor by his bed, then flopping himself down onto the bed resting his eyes after the long day. As soon as Dean's head hit the pillow the dog bounded onto the bed and licked Dean all over his face.

"Sam! Get your dog off me!" Dean screamed as the dog continued to lick his face. Sam and Cas laughed as the dog ignored Dean's commands.

"Aww, he likes you!" Cas laughed in reply.

Once Dean successfully pushed the dog off the bed he looked over to his boyfriend,"I'll get you for that."

Cas smirked and flipped on the TV and watched whatever was on. In this case it was the three stooges, which they both enjoyed. It wasn't long after until the program was interrupted by the local news host who had some "breaking news."

"A local teen has been reported missing after several days of not returning home. Castiel Novak is currently the foster child of David and Angela Smith. If you have seen this child please call the number on the screen immediately." The box showed a picture of Cas and displayed the phone number of the orphanage. After a few seconds the television returned back to the three stooges. Castiel didn't really believe what he had just seen. He sat there blinking, hoping to wake up. He felt Dean's eyes on him, watching him for any emotion.

"Cas that's you..." Dean hesitated

"I know." He replied barely audible.

"What are you going to do?"

Cas sat there still in disbelief. This was supposed to be a vacation. He was supposed to be happy with Dean and Sam and now Buddy too. He thought they didn't care enough, turns out they care just enough to make his life even more miserable.
"I don't- I don't know..." Castiel tried to blink away the tears but it was no use. They came pouring like a waterfall, and there was nothing he could do.
Dean held him until he cried himself to sleep, with the company of Buddy as well.
Dean kissed his forehead wondering what he was going to do.
