Chapter Text
It's Thursday 3:30 in the afternoon. It's the end of the school day, another day of people looking at him like he was freak. People at school knew he lived with his brother. And that's all they knew the rest was just untrue gossip. Sam overheard someone say once that his mum died pinned to a ceiling in a fire, not tied actually pinned which he is guessing means no ropes or anything.
How would that even work?
That's not even the worst one. Of course, Sam could easily put a stop to it by telling them the truth but, he just doesn't care.
Tommy sneaks up and slams his locker shut, missing Sam's face by an inch
"Hey, new guy"
"Actually, not new"
"Are you back chatting me"
Tommy pushes Sam against the locker
A dark-haired boy runs up to them
"Oi, Tommy get lost"
"Or what" replies Tommy
"Do you really want to find out?"
Tommy walks away
"You didn't have to do that...I mean thanks"
"No worries, I'm Castiel, call me Cas"
"Oh, I know who you are,"
"And you're Sam,"
"Yea, how do you even know my name?"
"You've been here almost a year,"
"Anna Hilton is your sister," Asks Sam
The boy nods
"I mean we just live in the same place but I still call her my sister"
Sam looks at him confused
"Let me walk you home"
"You don't have to do that" replies Sam
"It's no bother"
30 minutes later they arrive at Sam's street and Cas says goodbye. p>
Sam enters his front door bumping into Dean on his way to the kitchen
"Hey, how was school?"
"Good"
Sam replies walking past Dean to go to his room
"Just good"
Dean follows Sam to his room
"Yea, I mean nothing special happened"
"Sammy, what happened?" Asks Dean
"Nothing"
"Really?, Is that boy Tommy giving you trouble again?"
"I can handle him"
"Ok, dinner will be ready soon"
Sam nods and Dean goes back to the kitchen.
"Come and get it," shouts Dean 45 minutes later
Sam sits at the table and Dean puts two plates on the table.
"Thanks," replies Sam
Sam takes a bite.
"Dean"
"Yea" replies Dean with a mouthful
Dean looks at his brother when he doesn't get an answer
"How do you...talk to someone you like."
Dean puts his fork down and smiles.
"Hypothetically"
"You have a crush on someone at school"
"I was just wondering" Sam answers
"Right, so who's the..."
"You don't know her" Sam cuts him off
"Oh, I know I don't know HER"
Sam looks at his brother
"You know"
"Of course I know I'm your brother"
"And it doesn't bother you?" Sam asks
Dean shakes his head
"Did I give you any indication that it would?"
"No, I just wasn't sure" answers Sam
"So, who's this boy? Is he in your class?"
"He's in an older year"
"How older?"
"He's 17" Sam replies
"Seventeen,"
"Dean can you not be the dad right now, and just be a brother."
"Ok...you know that you're too young to..."
"Dean,"
"What's his name?" replies Dean
"Castiel"
"Humm...unusual name, so you going to ask him out"
"No way"
"Why not," asks Dean
"He's...way out of my league, he wouldn't like me"
"You don't know unless you ask"
3 days later walking home from school
"You look nervous, is everything alright?" asks Cas
"Yea"
"You're sweating"
"(Laughs) am I"
Cas stops walking
"I wanted to ask you a question"
They both continue walking
"Which you can say no to, you're entitled to..."
"Sam" Cas cuts him off
"I was wondering if you'd want to...watch a film and maybe get something to eat afterwards."
"Like a date?" asks Cas
Silence
"It was a bad idea forget I said..."
"I'd love to"
"What?" Sam replied
"I said I'd love to...when"
"I actually didn't plan that far ahead"
"Don't worry I'll sort it. Should we say Saturday, I'll pick you up around 8"
"Ok"
Saturday
Cas walks up the stairs and rings the bell
the door swings open and Cas just stands there mouth open
"Are you Cas?"
Cas gulps and answers
"Yea, is Sam ready?"
"Not yet, come in" Dean replies
Cas walks in sitting at the kitchen table
"Do you want a drink?"
Sam comes downstairs
"No, 'cause we're going"
"Alright, well have fun. Have him back before 11"
"Dean"
"I'm just kidding" Dean replies
3 hours later Sam and Cas are seated at the booth in Harry's burgers
"So what did you think of the film?"
"Yea, it was good" replies Sam
"Thanks for asking me I had fun"
Sam Smiles
"So I have to ask, maybe it's none of my business...When we first meet you said you said you lived in the same place but you're not related, so are you adopted"
"Not really, I live at Ange house. It's basically a place for kids who don't have parents"
"Oh, I see"
"I've been there nearly 18 years, my parents died in a car crash when I was 2 months old"
"I'm sorry"
"it's alright, I don't remember much about them" Cas replies
45 minutes later Sam arrives home
Dean and Lisa are sitting at the kitchen table
"So, how did it go?" Dean asks
"It was fine"
"Fine?" Dean replies
Lisa looks from Sam to Dean
"I'm going to go watch telly...is it alright if I stay here tonight?"
"Of course" Dean replies
Lisa leaves
"Come on, Sam you got to give me more than that"
"It was fun"
"But?" Dean asks
"it didn't feel like a date, it felt like we were just hanging out as mates"
"So, you're just going to be friends"
Sam nods
A month later
Dean opens the door to Cas
"Hi...You know Sam's not here, right"
Cas shakes his head
"He's on that field trip" Dean replies
"Right, I forgot...well don't let me disturb you"
"No, come in I could use the company"
Cas and Dean walk to the living room
"What are you watching?"
"FRIENDS"
"Is this a new episode?" asks Cas
"Yea, sit down"
25 minutes later
Dean is so engrossed with the TV he hasn't noticed that Cas didn't see any of it. He's been starring at Dean all this time
The credits roll and Dean catches Cas looking at him
"What...do I have something on my face"
Cas leans forward kissing Dean on the lips. He pulls away seconds later once his brain catches up
"I am so sorry...I...I'm just going to leave"
Cas heads for the door
"Cas, you don't have to leave"
Dean stops him before he walks out the door
"Dean, I'm so sorry"
"stop apologizing it's alright"
"no, I shouldn't have...."
Dean cuts him off with a kiss
