Dean found Castiel at the other end of the ship, talking with some of his crew-mates. Dean stood behind and listened for a minute. He couldn’t control the smile that appeared on his face when he heard Castiel laugh and pat one of the pirates on the shoulder. The smile stayed on his face until Castiel turned around and looked at him with a small smile of his own. Dean then remembered why he was looking for Castiel. The somber look showed on his face and Castiel’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
“Dean? Is something the matter?” Castiel stepped towards the older brother. He started to reach up to touch Dean’s shoulder comfortingly, but Dean stepped back.
Dean said in a quiet voice so only Castiel could hear. “I can’t tell you now, just pretend everything is fine until tonight in your quarters.” He could tell Castiel had questions, but he couldn’t take the chance on someone overhearing. Thankfully Castiel accepted the odd request and gave a small smile to Dean. The captain put his arm over Dean’s shoulder and led him to the wheel of the ship.
“How would you like to steer for a bit?” Castiel’s change of subject was calm and smooth, as if nothing strange happened a moment ago.
“Sure Cas. Where is your helmsman?”
“Alfie went to get something to eat for himself and his partner, who is sick in bed today.”
Dean cocked his head to the side, “There are women on the ship?”
Castiel looked confused for a moment before he realized what Dean was asking, “Oh, yes there are women on the ship, but Alfie’s partner is Adam. Adam is one of our lookouts.”
Dean swallowed hard, the information almost too much for him to handle. “Isn’t that a sin? I heard homosexuality was an abomination…” He knows for a fact that being homosexual is looked down on.
“Let me ask you a question Dean. As long as there is consent and everyone is of age, how is being in love wrong?” Castiel looked pointedly at the older Winchester, a soft smile on his face.
A blush appeared on Dean’s face and he rubbed the back of his neck, “I’m sorry if I sound stupid, or naive. I just grew up being taught that it was illegal and you could be put in prison for life if you were caught.”
Castiel sighed, a sad look appearing on his face, “Dean… it is illegal. But we are pirates on a pirate ship. We are more accepting than all the countries around us. Maybe one day it won’t be frowned upon, but until then, we try to be happy on this ship with who we are.”
Dean nodded, understanding what Cas was saying to him. “I think I know what you mean.” So the feelings he has been having since he was young wasn’t disgusting or perverted. It just wasn’t accepted by close-minded people. He felt a weight lift from his shoulders, as if he had been carrying it his whole life. “Thank you for explaining it to me.” He looked into Castiel’s ocean blue eyes and found himself staring at the captain for a long amount of time. The sounds of the crew laughing in the background shook Dean from his reverie and he blinked and looked away from Castiel. He didn’t see Castiel tilt his head to the side with a thoughtful smile on his face.

Gabriel had a grin on his face with a light blush on his cheeks, “Well I guess the secret is out huh?”
Sam’s heart was pounding in his ears. He can’t be feeling this way, it wasn’t real, was it? He remembers clearly what was taught at home. ‘A man should never lay with another man, it is an abomination and you will be found guilty of sodomy. If I ever hear that you are homosexual, I will not be your father any longer.’ Sam could clearly hear his fathers voice as if he was right next to him. He swallowed hard, a heavy feeling in the pit of his stomach. “I-I’m sorry. I think I need some air. Please excuse me.” Sam dropped the ruby on the floor as he hurried out of the cabin.
Gabriel’s smile dropped and he looked worried. “Oh god, please don’t tell me that he didn’t realize I was queer.” He muttered as he dropped his face into his hands and let out a loud groan of disappointment.

Sam made it out of the cabin and to the side of the ship in record time. He leaned against the ship and took his deep heaving breaths of air. ‘I need to find Dean. I need my brother.’ Samuel stood up straight and looked around the ship. From his vantage point he couldn’t find his brother. Sam pushed his hair out of his face and he stepped toward the first pirate he saw. They were younger looking and was carrying a tray of meats and cheeses. “I’m sorry to bother you. Have you seen my brother anywhere?”
“Oh, Samuel right? I think he was with Castiel at the wheel while I took food to my partner.” The pirate had an easygoing smile on his face, as if life was as good as it could get. “I’m Alfie by the way. I would shake your hand, but mine are occupied.” He laughed gently.
Samuel couldn’t help but smile back at the pirate, “It’s nice to meet you Alfie. Thank you for the help. I’ll get out of your way now.” He stepped away from the pirate and went on his way to find his brother.
When Sam caught sight of his brother he let out a relieved sigh. “Dean, there you are. Hello Castiel, do you mind if I take Dean to talk to him for a moment?”
“Of course I don’t mind Samuel. Dean just come back when you want to drive again.” Castiel smiled and nudged Dean with his elbow.
Dean blushed and smiled, “I promise I will be back for more steering.” Dean glanced at Castiel before turning to his brother and following him to another part of the ship. “What’s going on Sam?” He placed a hand on his brothers shoulder.
Samuel wasn’t sure how to bring it up to his brother, afraid of being shunned and cast overboard. “Dean… please don’t hate me. I don’t think I could live with myself if you never wanted to be around me.”
“Sam, Sam calm down. What’s the matter brother?” Dean was starting to worry for the panic appearing on his younger brothers face. “You can tell me anything. I will never judge you or hate you.” Dean pulled Sam into a tight hug, “I swear to you, I will always be here.”
A tear appeared on Sam’s face and he wiped it away with a hard hand swipe. “I think I have feelings for someone. A person we were told that if we were ever seen with…” Sam swallowed and pulled away from the hug. “I think I am a homosexual.” He dropped his head shamefully, afraid to see the look on his brothers face.
A sad smile appeared on Dean’s face and he raised his brother’s chin. “Samuel. You have nothing to worry about. Castiel explained it to me and it’s not what we were taught.” Dean then went on to explain what Castiel told him. When he was done telling Sam that homosexuality wasn’t sinful or bad, Sam cried on his big brother’s shoulder, unable to contain his thankfulness of the accepting pirate ship that saved their lives. “Sam, we are free here more than we ever were at home.”
Sam pulled back from his brother and smiled. “Thank you so much for telling me Dean. I was so scared.”
“Nothing to be scared of little brother.” Dean gave Samuel one last hug before asking, “So… who is the lucky pirate?”
Sam blushed and opened his mouth, only to shut it and a worried expression appeared on his face, “Oh no. I need to go find Gabriel and explain to him why I ran.” Sam backed away from his brother and said, “I will see you later Dean I have to go find him!” Sam turned and ran to where Gabriel’s cabin was.

Dean found his way back to Castiel and hung out with the captain until night. Castiel led Dean back to his quarters. Dean stepped into the room and sighed. ‘It’s now or never.’. “Cas… I have something to tell you and I don’t know how you are gonna react to it.”
“You can tell me anything Dean. You don’t seem like the type to lie so easily.” Castiel stood at his desk and looked at the Winchester.
Dean sat on the bed and sighed, “Zachariah threatened me and… “ Before Dean could finish his sentence, Castiel had a hard look on his face and stalked toward the door. “Wait Castiel! Please let me finish.” Castiel stopped at the door, his hand on the knob. He turned towards Dean with a furrowed brow. “Come back over here, please.” Dean patted the bed next to him. Castiel walked over to the bed and sat down next to the Winchester. “Alright, let’s try this again. Zachariah did threaten me, but it was because he wants to overthrow you as captain. I told him that I wouldn’t let that happen. He… didn’t take kindly to that news. Cas, he is going to try to kill you one day to become captain himself.”
Castiel had a look of shock on his face. His own uncle wanted to cast him out. The look on Dean’s face showed nothing but sincerity, so he wasn’t lying. “Thank you for telling me Dean. Don’t mention this to anyone else, I have to think on what I should do.”
“I’m sorry Cas. If there is anything I can do to help, I am here.” Dean placed on hand on Castiel’s knee. The pirate laid his own hand over Dean’s and squeezed the man’s hand gently.
“You have done so much already. I couldn’t ask more of you.”
Dean chuckled, “The funny thing is… I want you to ask more of me.”
