Cas sighed and rested his head on Nick's shoulder again. "I don't think people can excuse their behavior with their backstory most of the time… I mean, you're your own person. No one can force you to do anything."

“Yeah…” Nick agreed, still lost in the memories from his childhood. “They weren’t always like that. They were decent once.”

"Mm… I wouldn't know…" Cas sighed shakily. "Is it nice?" He asked. "Um… having friends, that is?"

“Yeah, I’d say so,” Nick said. “It’s hard sometimes, but it’s worth it.”

Cas nodded a bit and fidgeted a bit with his hands. "Mm… you… you said you wanted me to bring my cat the next time I come over, right?"

“If you want to, that’d be great,” Nick said, relieved to be moving on to another topic.

"Yeah… I normally take him everywhere with me since he's allowed, but I didn't want him to get hurt at school. He's… he's really important to me."

Nick nodded slightly. “I can imagine. I’d love to see him then.”

Cas nodded a bit as well and started fidgeting again. "He's really sweet… I think you'll like him."

Nick smiled. “That’s good. I think I will too.”

Cas was quiet for a few seconds. "So… what should we do now?" He asked.

“Um…we could try riding bikes now? Or just take a break and watch some TV?” Nick suggested.

"Let's just watch TV or something… pretty sure my brain is done learning things for now." Cas sighed.

Nick chuckled softly, but not in a mean way. “Yeah, I get that. Let’s go back to the living room then.”

Cas nodded and got to his feet, quietly following Nick into the living room. "Or we could play more of your video games, I guess, but that requires my brain to work…"

“Have you ever seen Parks and Rec?” Nick asked, turning on the television.

Cas shook his head. "Nope. There wasn't a TV at my house, and I haven't tried it out at my foster home."

“Well Parks and Rec is one of the best shows ever,” Nick replied with a grin, starting an episode. “I wanna see if you like it.”

"Alright, if you say so. Is there any more ice cream?" Cas asked, flopping down on the couch with Nick.

“Yeah, do you want more?” Nick asked, already starting to get up again.

Cas nodded a bit. "Yeah, if you don't mind… I don't really wanna be any trouble."

“It’s no problem!” Nick assured him. “Same flavor?”

"Yeah, thanks…" Cas hesitated before turning his attention back to the TV, trying to figure out what was going on.

Nick went to the kitchen and got Cas another couple of scoops ice cream in bowl with a spoon and then came back into the living room. “Here ya go,” he said, handing it to Cas.

"Thank you." Cas smiled weakly and started eating his ice cream. "So… who are these people?" He asked, pointing to the screen.
