Our Senior Year Together

Chapter IV

Castiel was kind of regretting his decision to agree with Dean's wish last week. Apparently they were spotted by some students from their school, who obviously had severe case of big mouth, when they went together to those diner and bookstore. Rumor about him and Dean dating was spreading at school since that time. Even some of his friends from science club knew and had confronted him about it, which was how he knew about that rumor in the first place, much to his embarrassment.

When the nerd told Dean about that rumor, he expected the other boy to be shocked and disgusted. But the reaction that he got was really different. The jock just grinned and shrugged it off, telling him that it was okay.

Dean's reaction surely had bemused him, but he somehow found himself didn't really surprised. After all, the jock had no problem hanging out with him, Anna and Ash during class break, neverminding all the attention that they got all the time. That thought alone was enough for him to decide right then and there, that as long as Dean didn't mind about the rumor, he could also try to ignore it.

But as resigned he was to the rumor at school, he wasn't prepared when Gabriel confronted him about that at home, right when their family had dinner together.

He almost wanted to call Anna and yell at her, for telling about that rumor to his brother in the first place.

"Cas, please teach my how to solve this one!" the jock pleaded him during a free hour that they spent at classroom. His index finger pointed at the number three of their newest physics assignment.

Castiel took the book from him, reading the problem quietly. "Here," he jotted down the formula and explained it patiently to Dean, who listened to him intently.

"Oh, I think I understand now. Geez, you teach better than Mr. Roché, Cas!" Dean praised him, grinning widely.

Castiel rolled his eyes at him. "It's because you didn't pay attention during class, Dean. Actually it's a simple problem." Because you were too busy staring at my back, he added mentally.

"Simple?" Dean asked him incredulously, eyes widening a bit. "Simple for you, Cas. My brain feels hurt just by looking at all of these numbers!" He suddenly became silent, staring at the book, then at the dark haired nerd wordlessly. A huge grin slowly stretched on his face. "Hey, I know!"

"Huh?" Castiel was surprised by the jock's sudden exclamation.

"Cas! Be my tutor, 'kay?" Dean asked him enthusiastically, making the nerd become even more surprised.

"W-what?"

"Teach me all the lessons that I don't understand! You...you can do it, right?"

Castiel was just about to tell the jock that he better ask other person to become his tutor, since he wasn't sure if he could teach well, when one of their classmates approached them.

"Umm, I hear that Dean ask you to tutor him. Could I join you, guys?" the boy asked him nervously. "I also need to increase my scores."

The dark haired boy wasn't prepared to get another tutoring request, but fortunately, or unfortunately, Dean replied for him quickly, "Sorry, Cas is already under contract to be my personal tutor." The football player even winked at the nerd after that, making him blushed in embarrassment.

Castiel wanted to comment that he wasn't agreeing to become Dean's tutor yet, but any protest that he prepared was died in his throat when Dean, with his big goofy smile, asked him hopefully, "Right, Cas?"

Gabriel had succeeded in forcing Castiel to buy new glasses before returning to college three days ago, after threatening him that he would tell their big family about the rumor if his younger brother didn't want to go to optometrist with him.

The new glasses, slimmer and had more modern look, was fitting him better than his old glasses that was a bit too big for him. It was bringing out his cheekbones and blue eyes that previously hidden behind his obscured old glasses.

When Castiel went to school for the first time with his new glasses, he noticed that people were staring at him longer than usual. Some people even had the nerve to point at him while whispering to each other. All the attention made him self-consciously bowed his head, too nervous to meet the eyes of the other students.

That's it, Castiel thought fumingly, he would never listen to Gabriel again.

The self-depreciating thought, that he must be looked weird in the new glasses, was put to a halt when a voice, so familiar that he was sure he would know it everywhere, called him from behind. "Cas! Wait!"

He turned around hesitantly, afraid that Dean would give him the same reaction as the other students. "Good morning, Dean" he greeted, head still bowed down

"Morning, Cas!" Dean greeted back, voice sounding happy. Once he got closer, he peered down at the dark haired boy's face. "Cas? What's wrong?" he asked in concerned tone.

Slowly, the dark haired boy raised his face, meeting the jock's eyes hesitantly.

Dean's seemed stunned when their eyes finally met, mouth opened without any sound passing it.

Castiel quickly ducked his head again. "I know. I look weird with my new glasses," he whispered softly, heart aching with unexpected hurt. Because even Dean was looking at him like that.

The blond haired boy suddenly grasped his chin, tilting his head upward. "Who said you look weird? God, Cas, you look pretty good with that glasses! Your eyes...," he trailed, seeming hesitant for a moment, before continuing, "You should never hide your eyes again."

That statement made Castiel blush. He pulled his face away from Dean's fingers, aware of the stares from people around them. Didn't know what to say, he just mumbled "Thank you" in shy, small voice, bowing his head down again in embarrassment.

The jock glanced around, finally seemed to realize of what he had been doing. But instead of stepping back, he grasped the dark haired boy's chin, pulling it upward again, gentler this time. "I mean it, Cas. Raise your chin," he said, smiling gently, before releasing his chin.

This time, even though all the stares still made him uncomfortable, he didn't duck his head anymore.

"Angel, do you have time to accompany me to bookstore after school today?" Crowley asked the boy who sat beside him in the school cafeteria. "The manager has told me that my order will arrive today."

Castiel looked at Dean, who sat on his other side, before turning to look at the boy in black clothes hesitantly. "I'm sorry, Crowley. I will go with Dean after school," he replied, feeling guilty when his friend made a disappointed look.

"Fine. How about Monday?" Crowley asked the dark haired boy again.

After seeing his apologetic look, the shorter boy leaned forward to glare at Dean. "Must you take away all his time?"

Dean replied back scathingly, "Must you be so persistent?"

Castiel sighed helplessly at their hostility toward each other, placing his hands on their chest to stop them from leaning further into his space. "Please stop it, you two," he pleaded them. "People are watching you."

Both of the boys seemed to finally come to their sense, sneering at each other before leaning away from him. The two of them turned to glare at Anna when she started snickering from across the table.

"Come on, dudes! It's time for you two to clear your problem!" Ash commented, eyeing them with reprimanding look. "I don't want to see you fight every time you sit on the same table!"

Castiel threw a grateful look at the blond haired nerd, silently thanking him for stating what had been in his mind for almost two months now. But of course he must know better than to expect them to make up already.

"There is nothing to clear!" Crowley replied scathingly, stabbing the mashed potato in front of him with a fork vigorously. "He should just leave us alone and join his fellow ape friends!"

Dean growled at him, "What did you-"

"Crowley, that's enough!" Castiel scolded the boy in black clothes, making all of his friends stunned by his act of standing up for Dean. "I know that you have problem with Dean, but please refrain from acting rude toward him every time you meet."

Crowley gaped at him, his eyes widened in shock. "I-I-"

Ignoring the boy, he then turned to look at Dean. "You too, Dean. Stop acting like an immature."

Both Anna and Ash stared at him in amusement, while Dean and Crowley stared at him in shock.

The dark haired boy suddenly realized of what he had done. "Oh! S-sorry, I didn't mean to-"

Dean cut him quickly, "Hey, hey. It's okay, Cas." With an obvious forced grin, he said, "I guess it's must be done, huh?"

Before Castiel could ask what did he meant, the jock stood up and walked toward Crowley's chair. "Come on, let's talk," he grunted, motioning the other boy to follow him.

Crowley just scowled and followed the football player wordlessly, passing all the tables and curious eyes, away from the cafeteria.

When they no longer could see those two, Castiel turned to look at Anna and Ash. "Do you think they would be fine?" he asked worriedly.

Ash just smirked, eyes still full of amusement. "They will. Good job, Cas!" he said, making the dark haired boy winced.

"You've changed, Cas," Anna commented. "In a good way."

Castiel frowned at her. "What do you mean?"

The red haired girl huffed. "The old you would never do something like that. You know, stepping into their fight and lecturing them," she explained, smiling fondly at him.

Blushing slightly, Castiel realized that she was right.

Twenty minutes later, Dean and Crowley returned to their table, and to their previous chairs on the left and right sides of the dark haired nerd. Both of them had taut expression on their face, but the tension from earlier was mostly gone.

"We are good now," Dean informed them when he saw the questioning look on their faces, giving them a reassuring smile.

"He is right, we are good now," Crowley agreed, shrugging in a nonchalant manner.

Castiel looked back and forth between the two boys, feeling relieved. "That's...good to hear. It always made me worry when both of you fight. I'm glad the problem is cleared now," he told them earnestly, smiling softly.

Both of the boys seemed to be stunned by his words, making the dark haired nerd worried if he had said a wrong thing. But before he could say something, they huffed.

Crowley then looked at the football player, smirking slightly. "If you don't act quickly, someone else will snatch him away," he said in playful tone, though the look on his eyes was unreadable.

Dean smirked back at him, giving an equally unreadable look. "I will. Soon."

It was the third time Dean and Castiel came to that diner together again. The waitress, a blond haired girl in early twenties, recognized them instantly when they entered the small building through the glass door.

"Good afternoon, boys," she greeted them cheerily, wide smile plastered on her face

Both of the boys greeted and smiled back at her, before going to the small table on the left corner. The waitress followed them from behind with two menus and a small notebook held close to her chest. Once they had seated on the chairs across from each other, she put the menus on the table in front of them.

"Ready to order, boys?" she asked them sweetly, pen already poised on her small notebook.

"Yes, Jo. I want to order double cheese burger and iced latte" Dean replied without looking at the menu, already memorizing his order from their previous visits. "Cas?"

"Same as him," Castiel told the waitress, nodding at the blond haired boy's direction.

The waitress, Jo, quickly wrote down their order. "Your order will be ready right away," she informed them once she had written all, and then walked away to the counter.

After the dark haired boy was sure that she couldn't hear him, he turned to look at the boy across him. "What is it that you want to tell me, Dean?" he asked the other boy curiously.

Dean smiled nervously at him. "Later, Cas. I will tell you after we eat."

"Is it something important?" Castiel asked again in concerned tone

The jock seemed to become more nervous than before. Fidgeting on his chair, he replied, "Yeah, something like that."

They were saved from more awkwardness when the waitress came back with their order. Both of the boys threw her grateful looks.

Fifteen minutes later, both of them had finished their burgers and drank half of their drinks. Dean seemed to be calmer now, mixing his drink with the straw absently. Castiel waited patiently for him to talk.

"So, Cas," Dean started, eyes still locked at the glass in front of him. "What I want to tell you is...uhh..."

"Yes, Dean?"

"I-I want to tell you that I really want the rumor about us to be true!" the jock blurted out quickly, eyes finally meeting the other boy's.

"W-what?"

"God, I never thought that confessing would be this hard!"

"D-do you mean-"

"Yes, Cas. I like you." Coughed. "I like you since we were in the same class two years ago."

"Ohh."

Blushing madly, Castiel thought back how the blond haired boy acted toward him since their first year. How the past Dean seemed to be nervous whenever he talked to him. How the present Dean seemed to want to be at his side all the time. A warm feeling slowly filled his heart.

Later, when Dean ordered a chocolate sundae and asked for two spoons, Castiel realized that they were officially dating now.
