Cas blushed in embarrassment, looking up at the place and trying to figure out what it was. He couldn't read the name, after all. "What is it?" He finally asked.

"Smoothie Paradise! It's super chill, simple. Less exciting, honestly, but it might be more comfortable." Sorrel said, with his hands in the air. "That kind of stuff."

"Sounds good to me." Cas shrugged. "I don't think I've ever had a smoothie before, actually."

"Well you're in for a great treat, they're super sweet." Sorrel rhymed. He smiled, quite subtly, as they basically arrived at the place.

Cas nodded, following him inside and looking up at the menu. He was immediately overwhelmed by the amount of senseless words and tried to figure out what they meant.

"I like the cherry smoothie and vanilla ice cream combo." Sorrel purred. He looked so pleased by the menu, for some reason.

"Um… I'll probably try that, then." Cas said, looking away from the menu. Attempting to read was giving him a headache.

Sorrel raised a hand and a waiter approached them. "Two of the cherrynilla combos, please. Make it a couple." He said, with coded words at the end. The waiter, with a suddenly extreme smile, appeared so excited. "Okay!"

Cas wasn't sure why the waiter was so excited, but he didn't think too hard on it. He just watched people and cars pass by the window.

Sorrel laughed at Cas's observations. "Cars are really fast," He said, softly. He looked at one special car that passed, engine rumbling fiercely. "Scaryyy."

"I haven't been in a car for a long time." Cas hummed, glancing over at Sorrel when the other spoke. "I'm also not old enough to drive anyways."

"We'll have to get you there, some day." Said Sorrel. He owned a car, but it wasn't like he used it. "You can have mine if you want, I guess."

"No no, I couldn't possibly let you just give me a car. Y-You've done so much already." Cas insisted, blushing.

"I'll… save it, then. I'll gift it to you, or something." Sorrel said, submissively. He didn't want to fight the guy over a huge gift, so he let it rest. Still, being so loose wasn't a normal trait of his.

"Sor, I… I couldn't possibly…" Cas stammered incoherently, starting to blush a bit. "I-I can't…"

Sorrel leaned a little closer to Cas, hands on either side of the table in front of him. "You can't.. but you will."

Cas blushed harder as he looked up at Sorrel. "B-But I… Sorrel, I can't take a car from you… what if I crash it? I-I don't know how to drive!"

"That's what permit licenses and teachers are for." Sorrel said, with a simple smile. "They won't allow me to legally drive, but you know, I do it anyways. I'd love to teach you."

"…Why don't they let you drive?" Cas asked tentatively.

"I fell asleep once and…" Sorrel shrugged. "It um, didn't end well for the other family."

Cas went pale, seeming nervous now. "Oh god, are they okay??"

Sorrel dropped his head into his arms, with an even deeper sigh than before. "None of them still breathe." He mumbled, with a sad, tired feeling.

Cas was ghostly white by now, his heart pounding in his throat. He had no idea what to say. Technically speaking, Sorrel had killed people. Not intentionally, of course, but it still wasn't a nice thing to think about.

"I-I'm sorry, d-did I say the wrong things..?" Sorrel asked. He could have lied, dammit, he should have.

"N-No, it's okay, it's just… I'm… I'm not quite sure what to say." Cas said quietly. "Are you okay?"

Sorrel shook his head, and leaned further on the table. "I wish I could say I was," He said, almost silently. Cas would only barely hear his words. "But I don't think so," He added.

( So sorry this is so angsty oh god )

(Lmao it's fine)
Cas hesitated before taking Sorrel's hand in his own, looking down at him sympathetically. "Well, I… it's okay, even if you don't think it is. S-Sorry, I'm kinda bad at cheering people up…"

Sorrel looked up a little bit, and noticed Cas's suddenly perfect appearance. It mesmerized him, the other seemed so perfect. "I-It's okay, it's just a little rough sometimes." He mumbled. At that moment, the smoothie-icecream combo meals arrived, and the waiter tried his best not to disturb the two. The little things seemed to be decorated with hearts, and Sorrel laughed at the fact. "Perfect little things, perfect Cas.."

Cas blushed again and looked down at the drink. "Do I just… drink it? Or do I need a spoon or something?" He asked, deciding it would be best to change the subject.

"Spoons are here," Sorrel said, grabbing one of the plastic utensils. He gently handed it to Cas. "As for me, though, I just slurp it all up."
