Four years
passed, with Castiel doing more jobs away from Dean. Sometimes, he would sneak around to check on
the boy. He did not like Dean’s
attitude. The boy was showing some cockiness
and was definitely becoming a smartass. The angel wanted to know why.
John was
training the boy more intricate parts of being a hunter. Sam was being taught the basics. When John was gone, Dean stayed close to his
brother, keeping an eye on him.
The angel
noted how the boy was idolizing his father.
He frowned with worry, trying to focus on why. The angel sat on the ground where Dean was
was watching girls and smiling. Sam sat
next to him, leaning against a tree in the park, with a large book in front of
him.
‘Why are
they here instead of Bobby's? Father?’
‘John
Winchester believes Dean is capable of handling things now. Dean likes that his parent treats him more
like an adult. ‘
‘Why has
his attitude changed?’
‘He hides
his hurts and fears with the sarcasm and cockiness. It is a defense mechanism. John Winchester is still drinking. He can be harsh. Words cut like knives and Dean is very
sensitive. He needs his father. Home is important. Sam and John are all he has. He will take any abuse and still worship the
man. I am sorry, Castiel. You cannot change this.’
The angel
watched the two boys, tears unknowingly going down his face.
