Chapter 2:
"Car ride to his Personal Hell"
"Okay, anyone who is getting a ride with me better get their asses in Baby!" Dean called out as he made his way into the parking lot towards his Chevy Impala, followed by Sam, Charlie and Jo. They all piled into the car while Dean was distracted stroking the hood of his Baby, "Dean, why are you stroking your car….?" Came a gravelly voice from behind him, making Dean jump out of his skin. "Damnit, Cas!" Came quarterback's rough voice, cussing the blue-eyed boy for scaring him. "We need to get you a bell" He joked and Castiel just pulled a face 'So adorable' Dean's inner voice offered 'Would you shut up!' Dean griped back to…well himself .
'I'm going crazy…' he thought when he realized he was having an argument with himself. He shook his head to clear his thoughts, when he looked back up Castiel was walking away and that was the last thing Dean wanted to happen, so he reached out and grabbed the smaller boy's wrist. Castiel froze instantly at this action "Cas?" Dean asked, a little worried at the lack of response he was getting from the other boy. "Ye…Yeah?" Castiel managed to stutter out. "Do you want a ride…?" Dean asked blushing slightly 'Damnit, I'm not 13 I do not blush' he reassured himself as he dropped Castiel's wrist, which he had forgotten he was still holding, and rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"That is not necessary, Dean" he said slowly as if he was unsure. "It's not a problem, I'm taking them home too" He said jerking his thumb towards his friends inside the car, who just waved and smiled at him. 'There is no excuse to get out of this….unless…' He thought "My brother…" He started to say but didn't get the sentence out as said brother came running up to the pair "Cassie!" He said excitedly. The words left Dean's mouth before he could even process them, that tends to happen a lot to the poor quarterback, "We can make it work" he said.
Sam had seen the way his brother had looked at Castiel earlier and the fact that he was offering anyone but his actual friends a ride was a miracle within itself, no one got to ride in Baby unless Dean considered them, for lack of a better term, worthy. So, seeing their exchange Sam quickly made his way to the back seat so that Castiel could have shotgun if he decided to ride with them. Then Gabriel had run up and it all went to hell from there.
"Cas, you can have shotgun" Dean offered, trying not to blush again because he was nota 13yr old girl for god sakes. Castiel just nodded "Gabriel…." He started but was cut off "I'll sit in Sam's lap!" The blonde offered happily, making Sam screw up his face and Dean try his hardest not to bust out laughing. "But Gabriel there is room in the…." Sam tried to protest as the older, but shorter guy plopped down on his lap in the back seat.
Sam just sighed in defeat, there was no use arguing in now. "Wow, you're comfy Sammich" Gabriel mumbled as he basically snuggled down into the younger boy, leaning back into Sam's chest and placing his head on the younger Winchester's shoulder. Sam had to keep blocking out his own thoughts of just how right this felt and continued to act put off by this whole thing, but Gabriel knew better when he felt the younger boy's hand lay on his hip softly. The blonde could literally feel Sam blushing at their closeness but for once in his life he chose not to comment on it.
Mean while in the front seat Dean is trying his hardest not to look at Castiel because if he gets caught looking it would be totally embarrassing and he wouldn't know how to explain himself, and there is also the fact that if he takes his eyes off the road for too long that he will wreck Baby. So, he's doing everything to keep his mind off the raven-haired boy sitting next to him. He decides just to put on a little music to calm himself down.
Charlie and Jo are in the back seat laughing about the four oblivious boys and whispering about how they hope everything works out good for their friends. Dean finally puts on Kansas and they drive the rest of the way in peace, only turning down the music enough to hear directions to the Novak's house. Once outside everyone waved their goodbyes and the brothers stood outside watching the Impala disappear out of sit, not quite wanting to go in yet.
"Ready?" Gabriel asked as they entered the house, toeing off his shoes and setting his backpack down next to them. "Ready for hell" Castiel mumbled where only Gabriel could hear, copying his brother's actions. Gabriel sighed and went first, he was the oldest, he walked into the kitchen to his dad cooking dinner "Hey, Dad" He said happily getting a big grin from his father "Hey Gabe! Hey Castiel!" Their father greeted happily. Castiel mimicked his brothers 'happy' demeanor as they all chatted happily about their days.
Now I know what you're thinking, "How is THIS hell?" Well the answer is quite simple, their mother hasn't arrived home yet and their father hasn't brought out the hard liquor and started yelling harshly at his family, they save that for after desert.
