That was it. Officially. The worst Christmas ever. He has been okay with not being able to go home for the holidays. He had been okay with being alone at Christmas in a city he didn't know anybody. He had been okay with not having a fancy dinner, no people he loved, and no presents.
He had been okay with it till now. Now he just wanted to get drunk and cry.
It was the 24th of December, Christmas. He had forgotten to buy for food for the holidays so he had gone through the city looking for a store that still was open. It had been two hours before his neighbour suddenly had called him.
Now he was standing in the ruins of what had used to be the apartment he had lived in for the past two weeks. Moving to Boston clearly had been a mistake. Everything …show more content…
It was impossible. The really handsome firefighter with stunning green eyes did not just ask if Castiel wanted to spend Christmas with him, did he?
“I...uhmm...I” he began to stutter but the firefighter cut him off.
“I'm not taking no for an answer. Nobody should have to spend their Christmas alone in some crappy Motel.” he said giving Castiel a smirk that made his legs go all wobbly again.
“But won't I bother your family?” Castiel wanted to hit himself. Why did he even ask that, when all he wanted to do was screaming “yes”.
“I kinda have the biggest patchwork family in the world and my surrogate mother Ellen always makes way too much for us all to eat. Even though my brother already eats enough for three grown men.” the firefighter explained, “So no you ain't bothering anybody.”

“My mum did too. Told me angels were watching over me.” Dean said and there was some bitterness in his voice.
Castiel didn't want to pry, to anger Dean, but he just had to ask “Your mum...”
“She died.” Dean now looked straight on the road, “She died in a fire. Some crazy psycho called Azazel set our house on fire. My father managed to save me and my brother, but it was to late for her. A few years later my father just disappeared.” his voice was a bit raspy and his face looked stiff. Castiel felt horrible.
“Dean, I am so sorry, I did not mean to..” he tried to apologize.
“It's okay Cas. I guess we have all our little back story, skeletons in our closet. And family can get hairy.” Dean relaxed a bit, “But thanks God it doesn't end with blood. My family now is really nice. You gonna like them. I hope you don't mind a lot of people.” he added his voice a bit more cheery.
“No, I have a lot of siblings. I miss being in a house full of people.” Castiel admitted. Even though they didn't want him, he missed them very much.
So why can't you spend Christmas with them? Can't afford the flight?” Dean asked finally looking again at Castiel and immediately seeing he said something
