You having fun there Cas?

Chapter 13.

Sunny clutched the books to her chest tightly as she made her way through the flooded hallways towards her locker, she only had one class left before she could leave for the peacefulness of home and the comfort of her bed. She tried to ignore the shouts of the students around her until they began chanting “fight, fight, fight” over and over.

She turned quickly and broke her way into the middle of the crowd where she recognised the bigger boy, she’d seen him picking on the small kids in his year but she didn’t recognise the small boy this time. There was nothing she could do as the fat kid circled him, taunting him nastily. Sunny bit her lip when the smaller boy was knocked to the ground with a hard punch to the face and the crowd erupted into laughter.

“Are you okay?” Sunny crouched to be next to him then helped him onto his feet as he nodded slowly, his eyes still locked on the bigger boy “hey” his head snapped in her direction as she began snapping her fingers “I’m Sunny” she flashed him a warm smile before the crowd parting like the red sea caught her attention, she turned to watch who was making his way towards them as the boy sighed heavily

“Sam, what the hell happened? You know how to defend yourself and you let that pig push you around?” Sunny couldn’t stop her heart from beating a little faster, he had short brown hair and pouty lips and oh god he was wearing a leather jacket, she could feel her eyes almost tripping over themselves as they tried to take the entire picture of perfection in “get lost, all of you”

The crowd began to disperse but ’Sam’ didn’t move from his place next to Sunny who was stood just slightly behind him with her hands sat on his shoulders “Sammy you know what to do” it was then his eyes flicked to Sunny, they were green and great and just so beautiful, he cleared his throat slightly then pushed his hands into his pockets “who’re you?”

“I’m Sunny, I was just making sure…Sam was it?” the younger boy nodded again “I was just making sure he was okay, I’d have stepped in but that kid is bigger than me and has serious issues with authority” she coughed trying to cover up her ramble but he’d noticed, slowly he reached forward and grabbed Sam’s arm, pulling the boy to his side

“Uh…thanks Sunny” he flashed her a small grin as he sat an arm around Sam’s shoulder leading him down the hall. Sunny could feel her insides turning to mush and she was sure if he did one more perfect thing she was going to drop right there on the floor and then he did, just before he pushed the double doors open for Sam he turned back and gave her another thank you smirk before disappearing behind them.

For two boys she’d never seen before they were suddenly popping up everywhere, she’d seen them at least three times in the walk from her last class to her locker, then she’d seen Sam again with another small boy as she made her way to an after school class and finally she’d spotted them both again once she’d burst through the double doors an hour after school had finished, they were both sitting on the steps with miserable looks across their faces

“Hi” her walking slowed down when she reached the step Sam was sat on, his head buried in his homework but he looked up at the sound of her voice “it’s Sunny” she reminded him with a small smile

“I know” he let out a shout of pain as the older boy kicked his arm slightly “my brother said I should thank you for staying with me earlier” he told her quietly as he rubbed his arm “so uh thanks” Sunny gave him a second small smile before her eyes seemed to float to the left where his brother was leaning back against the stone, his arms folded across his chest as he watched

“Thanks” he gave her a small nod “not many people stick around to help the new kid after he lets his ass get kicked” he smirked making her heart flutter, she was in love, she didn’t even have to know his name to know she was head over heels in love “I’m Dean” he held his hand out and she stared at it like he’d grown an extra finger before slipping her own hand into the empty space. They fit together like a glove and if they didn’t stand for something she didn’t know what would.

“I’m Sunny”

“I know” he pulled his hand back and pushed it into his pocket as her brain exploded, he remembered her name? “what year are you in? You aren’t in any of my classes, too old to be in Sammy’s classes…”

“I’m fifteen” she told him, she didn’t really answer the question but if he was a smart boy he’d figure it out, she opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by the roaring of an engine “wow” she knew nothing about cars but she did know a pretty one when she saw it

“Wow is right, my dads sixty seven impala, best car to have ever been made” he swung his bag over his shoulder then pulled Sam to his feet as the younger tried to fit his stuff back into his bag “see you around Sunny”

Awkwardly she offered a wave and small squeak of a goodbye but in the end she just wanted to throw herself under the wheels of the impala as it tore off down the street.

Sunny glanced at the address again then back at the building in front of her, they were staying in a motel? Not even the nicest motel in the city, they were staying in the run down motel in the bad part of town that she’d been afraid to ride her bike through. Surely the principal had to know where they were staying since he’d given her the address, shouldn’t he have been doing something? She sighed heavily then walked towards the door, pushing her bike at her side until she reached number 18.

Carefully she sat her bike against the railing and wrapped the bike chain around it, she attempted to sort her wind swept hair and running eye make up before knocking against the wood lightly. There was silence so she knocked again, this time she heard a loud shuffling from inside before door was pulled open on the chain. Dean’s face appeared in the gap and he sent her a confused look “hi…uh…I know this is probably a little weird…I’m Sunny if you don’t remember-”

“I know who you are, how the hell did you find out where we’re staying?” his eyes flashed in anger before she cleared her throat

“Principal Oliver told me, I just wanted to check in on Sam, see how he was”

“Do you come visit every kid that gets knocked in the face?” he sighed when she sat her hands on her hips and gave him a small smile “alright, two seconds” he closed the door over again and took the chain off before opening it fully, he stood off to the side his eyes following her as she made her way inside.

The room was a mess, there were clothes everywhere, dirty plates piled up in the sink and neither of the beds were made. Sunny looked to Dean again watching as he made a thick salt line along the front of the door, her face twisted in confusion but she didn’t question it and turned back to Sam who was sitting on the sofa staring at her with wide eyes

“Hey Sam” she gave him a small smile and clasped her hands together in front of her

“Hi…?” he looked just as confused as Dean “how did you find where we’re staying? Why are you here?” his gaze shot to Dean as a worried look fell across his young face

“The principal told me, I just wanted to make sure you were okay after today…I know what it’s like to be the new kid” her voice was quiet as Sam stood from the sofa, his eyes shooting between his brother and the strange girl “I know it’s a little weird to stop by but y’know” she shrugged

“Take a seat” Dean motioned to the sofa as he moved into the kitchen area “I’ll get you a drink” Sunny moved forward and dropped onto the old ragged sofa, she smoothed out her jeans then crossed her legs in an attempt to seem older

“How’s your lip?” she asked Sam softly, he looked down at the open book sat between them before shrugging “how long are you guys staying in Arizona?” Sam looked to Dean who turned and shot him a look

“Don’t know, few weeks maybe, we travel a lot and dad puts us in schools for the few weeks we’re in one place” he bit his lip lightly then hissed remembering the small cut “um…” he didn’t know what to say and she could tell, the slight red tinge across his cheeks made her smile

“Here” she turned and took the glass of water from Dean’s hand, he stood back with an apprehensive look across his face as she took a small sip, it tasted funny, almost salty but she didn’t want offend him. As she swallowed more water Dean seemed to relax slightly until his eyes caught sight of something across the room “uh…Sammy, why don’t you tell Sunny about our last trip? There’s some stuff I gotta put away” the younger boy got the message and pulled a small box from the edge of the sofa “have a look in there Sunny, we’ve been all over”

Sunny couldn’t help but grin at the sound of her name rolling off his tongue, she was definitely in love with him. Her gaze followed him for a few more seconds as he moved towards his bed before Sam caught her attention with a small silver blade

“Can you hold this a second?” she took the blade from him and held it out in front of her, the artwork across the handle was beautiful “how long have you been at Woods high?” he asked her quietly, his gaze finally meeting hers, she could see just how quiet and shy he actually was. It was no wonder he was a target for bullies.

“I joined when I was thirteen, I mean I’m really social so the first thing I did was make friends but it didn’t stop me getting picked on, they’ll get bored of it in a few weeks and if they don’t I’m sure Dean’ll have something to say” she felt herself drifting off into a small fantasy about him but quickly snapped out of it “besides he said you could handle yourself, if you know karate or something now’s probably the best time to use it”

“I don’t want to use it, I just want to be normal and if normal means getting my ass kicked then I’ll get my ass kicked” he sighed heavily and lifted the flaps of the box

“What does your dad do that means you have to travel so much? Surely you’d be a lot more normal if you lived in a house in one place”

“He’s a business man, we travel for his meetings…our mom left us when I was just a baby” he shrugged, Sunny felt a little conflicted by his choice to confide in her, unless it wasn’t really a secret but it was a lot of information to share with someone after meeting them twice.

There was a shrill ringing a few seconds later and Dean rushed to grab the phone making the noise, he opened the antenna and sat it against his ear

“Dad? Dad where are you?” he asked, trying to keep the panic in voice hidden from the stranger in the room “right now?” he pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a sigh “yes sir, Sam’ll be alright, I’ll sort something out” he sent a sorry shrug in Sam’s direction “five minutes, I’ll be ready” the call was ended and Dean seemed to go into some sort of military mode, rushing around the room collecting bags from under his bed

“What’s going on?” Sam asked getting to his feet once again “is dad okay?”

“Dad’s fine” Dean forced a small smile before looking to Sunny “I wouldn’t do this, I don’t trust anyone with Sammy but you seem like a nice kid think you could watch him for like an hour?”

“Dean I can look after my-”

“Shut up Sam, can you do it? He won’t be a problem and you can help yourself to snacks or whatever” Sunny nodded making a brilliant grin break out across Dean’s face “thank you, alright Sammy we should be home tonight if we aren’t you know the drill, bed at midnight, salt lines, don’t open the door…Sunny you can head home whenever you need to get there” he pulled the door open then sent her a small wink before disappearing outside.

“Is your brother always so fantastic?” Sunny sighed with a dreamy look across her face.

Suddenly Sunny’s eyes were being assaulted by a blinding light and she was back in her motel room, she blinked slowly a few times before sitting up and looking around her. Her friends were all still asleep, the clock told her it was six in the morning, dreaming never ended well for her. It was then she felt like she was being watched, she turned and sighed heavily at the sight of Castiel.

“Do you dream about Dean often?” he asked with a low voice “or was that just a dream about your childhood?” Sunny squinted her eyes as she glared at him “what? I was just asking a question”

“Stay out of my dreams. I can’t control real life so at least let me be in control of the fake” she brushed the hair out of her eyes “why are you here anyway? Want me to wake someone else that isn’t me so you can talk to them?”

“We’re in your head Sunny, if you want to wake someone else up you can but I don’t think they know what was said between us-”

“You invaded my dreams to talk about the crap you said? And for the record no I don’t dream about Dean often, I don’t choose what I dream about so don’t tell him okay? I’ll never hear the end of it” she climbed from the bed and smoothed out her vest “what do you want Castiel?” she asked him sadly “I like you, I do but…you just don’t understand and I’m not patient enough to wait for you to learn”

She watched his eyes dipped down over her body then back to her eyes as she made her way towards him “how can you be attracted to me when you don’t even know what attraction is? Isn’t lust a sin for you and your kind”

“Yes, but I’m rebelling?”

“But you don’t understand do you?” Castiel hung his head unsure on what to say. He knew she was right but something inside him just didn’t want to admit it. “See, you don’t understand Cas, what’s the point in seeing someone who can’t feel the same way I do?”

“But I do feel, I do feel for you Sunny”

“I thought your people weren’t allowed to-” she was cut off by Castiel pressing his lips onto hers. She stood for a few seconds in shock before She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her. Castiel wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing his body against hers. They stayed like that for a few seconds before Sunny pulled away. She closed her eyes but opened them quickly. “Uh?” she took a small breath and looked up at Castiel. She bit her lip softly.

“I’m… sorry, I couldn’t help myself” she didn’t answer she just pressed her lips back onto his, wrapping her arms around his neck tightly. He stood there in shock for a few seconds before he wrapped his arms around her waist again. They stood like that until Sunny needed to breath, she pulled back breaking free of his grip.

“Neither could I” she laughed and fell back on her bed. Castiel just stood there staring at her. She sat up and grabbed his hand pulling him down next to her. She lay curled in next to him. She closed her eyes and a few minutes later she was asleep.
