CHAPTER 01 : Are you real ?
It's been a few centuries since that incident happened.
Even thought everyone moved on.....one person couldn't. He regretted not telling his love that he loved him. He regretted avoiding him. He regretted that he was the cause that this happened.
What happened? Good question.
You might be wondering about the centuries? Yes. Dean Winchester is not a human, but a vampire. He's been waiting for his human love to return to him. He lost him once. He's determined that he would search each corner of the world of he has to find him.....but he didn't have to do that.
It was January. A new year. People believe it to be a new start of your life but it wasn't for Dean. He had completely forgotten about his birthday. Only his brother, Sam remember and tried his best to cheer up his brother. Sam did not know what changed Dean. Dean never shared his feelings with him but that was okay, everyone has their sorrows. He understood and gave his brother as much as space he needed. But he knows one thing for sure that Dean just goes away for one whole day. He never questioned.
Nothing really changed in Dean's everyday routine.
Dean and Sam had joined a college nearby sonas to keep their cover. And both of them attended everyday without taking a sick leave cause they can't get sick.
His birthday finally arrived. And as you know, Sam had decorated the whole house like a small kid would do. Dean smiled. He didn't like celebrating his birthday but did for the happiness of his little brother.
24th January, 2022.
Sam threw a huge party. Almost the whole college has arrived. Dean cut the cake at the start of the party with only his close friends and just went to his room and shut the door for the rest of the night.
Their house was basically "creep mansion" as other people called it.
Nobody dared to come near the house during the night.
Since the house was lit as if it was Christmas, everyone rushed to see the inside of the house.
It was huge. Millions of rooms.
Since he has the special hearing abilities, be just listened to others talking as he no other work.
"Damn......couldn't imagine this was the inside of this creep mansion." One said in awe of the luxuries.
"I know right.......we should get one of the Winchester's." The other girl giggled. Dean scoffed. As of he had any interest in them.
"Hey don't drink that much."
"Noooo~~ let me." Dean smiled. Someone was drinking so much. Hope he wouldn't puke on his Persian carpet..
"Please Cassie? For me?"
Dean heard the guy clear this throat, "Let me. I want to forget him." Dean stood up making the chair fall back.
"Is he.....? No way." Dean opened the door and went to the kitchen from where the voice he had heard..but there was no one there. Dean sighed, "Again....it's just my imagination." He walked back to his room, his head filled with memories.
It's been an hour since that incident and Dean is holding the picture of the him. Those beautiful blue eyes which always made him nervous around him, that whole universe lightening smile which made him get butterflies everytime......he missed him badly. So fucking badly.
Then a knock interrupted his thoughts. Dean thought it might be Sam asking him join the party but to his surprise it was two complete strangers. One was leaning on the other, his head hung low from drinking and the other held him up.
"What?"
"I'm sorry but would you let my brother be here for a while.......I don't trust my brother with strangers."
"Am I not a stranger?"
The boy laughed, his long blonde hair falling on his face.
"You sure?"
"I rea-" the talk was interrupted by the slurry words of the drunk boy.
"H--ho--me."
"Yes yes brother. This is home."
"Fin--finall-y"
"Please let him."
Dean nodded and let the two boys in.
"I'll put him on the bed if there's no problem."
Dean hummed, approved. He was shocked seeing the way he saying yes to everything for some boy. Dean didn't even let Sam sit on his bed let alone a drunk boy who might puke of his Italian carpet.
"I'll pick him up tomorrow. Take care of him. Thanks. The name's Gabriel. Call me Gabe."
He winked and rushed out of the room. Dean was reminded of his love again. He had a sister named Gabriella, who was as annoying as this Gabe guy.
They say history repeats itself.
It was past midnight......only a few people who were drunk out of their minds had fallen asleep in the living room. The rest all left fearing what would happen in the mansion at night. Dean was surprised that some guy left his brother in a place where everyone were scared to be.
"Please.....~~ aaggh..... don't h--hurt m-me." Dean heard the boy who was whimpering in his sleep. Dean was relieved that they didn't to sleep or else he would've never slept after what had happened. The boy never stopped calling out for help. Dean sighed. He didn't get a good look at the boys face as it was hella dark and no one can see each other in that darkness.
Dean sat down on the floor and held the boy's hand.
"It's okay. I'm here." He whispered the same he had to his love when he had nightmares about loosing him.
The crying died down.....but the boy kept mumbling something.
Dean just sat there, a whole night, holding the boy's hand, calming him.
---------------
"Who are you?" Dean looked up and was shocked. He let go of the boy's hand and stepped back.
"You....are you real?"
"I think I am.....who are you? And why am I here?"
Dean had tears in his eyes. It was his love. The one and only. The face resembled him.
"Uhh.... you were at my party and your brother left you here?"
"Oh that bitch."
There was a minute of pin drop silence. Dean recovered and didn't let his emotions take control.
"What's your name?"
"Castiel. Castiel Novak."
"I'm Dea-"
"I know."
"You know?"
"Yes dumbass. It was your birthday yesterday right? Belated happy birthday love." Dean chocked.
"Love?" Cas looked up and tilted his head.
"Ugh! I'm sorry it just came in the flow."
"It's okay. Want some breakfast?"
Cas nodded. Dean gave one of his jeans and a t-shirt and showed the other boy the way to the washroom and left the room.
Dean could not believe his eyes. This was his reaction everytime he saw the face. Many time he was mistaken as he was not his Cas. He wasn't the one. Dean didn't get to conclusions.
"Hey! Hey! Since when do you cook?"
"There's this drunk boy that his brother left him here......I'm making this for him." Dean replied his brother.
"Ah okay."
Dean was busy making omlette, he didn't notice his brother and Castiel met on the stairs.
"Who are you?" Sam asked knowing what his brother had said.
"Uh sorry.....my name's Castiel. Got drunk in the party and my brother left me here."
"Oh okay." Sam noticed that the boy was wearing Dean's clothes. He raised an eyebrow and didn't question and went upstairs to his room.
Dean noticed that Cas was approaching him.
"This place is so huge. You live with your parents?"
Dean shook his head no, and saw Cas'eyes widened.
"Only two of you live here?" Dean nodded. Cas looked amazed and was looking around.
"You can go look outside too if you want?" Dean more like asked a question.
"Really?" Cas' face brightened up. Dean just nodded and saw the boy walk out the main door.
Dean was finished with the breakfast and took a plate for himself too and walked out near the small garden they had.
Dean saw Cas was no where to be seen. He set the plates on the bench outside and went around to look for the boy.
Dean gasped when he saw that Cas was sitting beside the little pond and was examining something.
"What are you doing sitting on the ground?" Dean questioned.Cas looked and stood up dusting his pants.
"Look I found this ring.....looks like some promise ring of old times, isn't it?" Cas asked showing Dean the ring.
"Um yes. Probably."
"Can I keep it?"
"What?"
"Its okay. I'll throw it back. I won't take alright?"
"No no.....you can keep it."Dean sighed and whispered the last part, "it's yours anyway."
"Thank you so much." Dean watched as Cas wore the ring right in front of him. He looked at the one whom he lost. Was he the reincarnation of his lost love?
