Summary
Dean woke up that morning with one single mission in his head: pancakes.
Golden, fluffy, dripping with syrup, stacked high enough to count as an architectural achievement. He stumbled into the kitchen, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, and reached for his trusty frying pan.
Which immediately broke off in his hand.
If only he could have predicted that the innocent idea of frying pancakes would entail with a person hogtied in the trunk of his car.
But why? Why him of all people?
Worst morning ever. Worst morning ever and right on his day off. Life was a bitch.
Based on the reverse trope where the MC kidnaps the mafia boss. But make it an accident.

Summary
When Dean and his parents moved back to Lawrence Kansas, he didn't expect to fall in love with the quiet boy hidden in the art class, painting pictures only in shades of blue and gray, fingertips perpetually stained with blue paint and nicotine, his black hair speckled with gray ink from the skies he captured on canvas.
Castiel was drowning in his father's expectations and his own self-destruction. Drowning on pills to silence the thoughts, cigarettes to steady his hands and on his art while trying to make sense of a world that told him he was a sin.
And Dean was running from his own self, hiding behind leather jackets and easy smiles, behind girls and popularity, playing a safer role of being what everyone expected of him.
When their worlds crashed in that smoke-filled art room, they had to choose: keep hiding in shades of gray and blue, or fight their way toward color together.
A story about acceptance, internalized homophobia, addiction, and the path you have to take to be yourself in a world that keeps tearing you down.
