Summary
In a world where angels grow up among humans, Castiel is stuck hiding his nature from his best friend. When he finally gets his adult wings, Castiel has no choice but to reveal his true nature, risking not only his presence on Earth but his friendship with Dean.
When Dean meets the new kid that just moved up the street, he's excited to have a made a new friend. As life for the Winchester family becomes more difficult, Castiel becomes a constant comforting presence in the boys' lives - especially Dean's.
This story follows Dean and Castiel's friendship from when they meet (at age eight) to Castiel's coming-of-age at twenty-six, wherein Cas must bond with Dean - platonically - or risk being sent back to Heaven.
While this was written with Destiel in mind, it can easily be read as a very, very close friendship (particularly because Dean and Cas are kids through much of the fic and I can't write childhood romance to save my life).
