Cas was covering his mouth with one hand, tears starting to spill out of his wide eyes. Tears of shock and happiness, to be fair, but it was a little hard to tell. After a moment of standing in silence, he rushed forward and hugged River's parents, sobbing quietly.
They were surprised at first, but hugged back. “We’re right here and we’re not going anywhere okay?” The dad whispered.
“We want hugs too!” The twins hugged Cas and their parents, bring River too.
"Y-You guys are great." Cas coughed a bit, laughing weakly through his sobs. He tried to brush away his tears while the twins hugged him from behind. "I c… I c-can't tell you how much this means to me." He stammered to River's parents.
"It's okay, dear, you don't have to we already know," RIver's mom kissed Cas's forehead wiping away his tears. Now, go have fun. We can talk about this when we get back today," she smiled.
RIver stood up with one twin on his back and the other on his leg. "Wanna take one," he chuckled.
"S-Sure." Cas took one twin by the hand and kept trying to brush his tears away as they walked. He was just following River since he was focusing on composing himself.
"Why are you crying? Are they happy tears or sad tears," she asked squeezing his hand.
"They're happy, d-don't worry." Cas smiled weakly, looking down at her. He didn't have to look down much, honestly, but he was still taller.
"Yay!" she cheered skipping. "We're here!" she let go of Cas's hand jumping into the grass.
River walked over to Cas giving him a peck on the cheek. "Hey there."
"Hey…" Cas hugged River tightly and kissed him, slightly drained from crying.
He rocked Cas back and forth. "Let's get your phone set up while the twins are playing, alright?" he asked pointing to his back pocket.
Cas nodded and handed the phone to River. "I honestly have no clue how to do this…" He sat down with the other. "I've never had a phone before."
"I'll just have to teach you then. "I'll have your account be mine s we have the same Apple ID. I have to transfer my data when we get back," he filled out a couple of things and taught Cas what Face ID is along with making his own. "There you are now you can download any apps just check with my mom first before downloading anything that needs money." River also taught Cas about the apps and how to close apps and open apps.
Cas listened closely, occasionally asking River to show him something again if he didn't understand. After a little while of this, he seemed to at least have the basics down. He sent River a couple sample texts as well to make sure it worked and that he knew how to do it.
River got the text and answered with a thumbs up. River stood up and placed his phone on the ground. "Come on!" he said reaching out his hand
Cas took his hand with a smile, carefully placing his phone with River's. "What're we doing?"
"Rolling down the hill," he smiled and pulled Cas down as they tumbled.
"Woah!" Cas was forced to let go of River as they fell, seeming quite disoriented and disheveled by the time they reached the bottom.
River rolled over Cas and started to laugh. "I love doing that!"
"I'm dizzy…" He said quietly, holding his spinning head with one hand.
"Your eyesight will come back in a minute, just let it sit for a minute or two.
Cas nodded, closing his eyes for a bit until he didn't feel quite so unsettled.
"There you go-" the loudspeaker cut him off as it said for all campers to start packing up and going home with their parents. "Time to go, you ready?"
"Mhmm." Cas took River's hand and went back up the hill with him, putting his phone back in his pocket once they got to them.
River did the same as held the twins' hands, leading them back to the camp.
"We already packed everything up, let's go, boys and girls. That felt so weird to say," the dad chuckled as he started walking to the car. RIver fallowed.
Cas got into the car and sat beside River, buckling himself in. It was weird to think that he'd arrived at camp without even knowing River, and now the other's family had basically adopted him.
