Cas considered his life boring.

He woke up at 6:30 everyday. He drove to school with his younger brother and sister, and went to classes.

He got straight A's and kept mostly to himself.

The most interesting part of his day was when he got to see Charlie.

Charlie was his best friend. She was in the community college on the other side of town but they still met every day to discuss the Carver Edlund books and drink coffee at the Roadhouse.

Every shirt she owned was fandom related. Cas thought she was the shit.

But today Charlie was sick and couldn't make it out to the Roadhouse. So Cas decided to bring her soup.

Unfortunately for both of them, school didn't let out for several hours for Cas.

Cas, right now, was in study hall, with Dean Winchester and his gang of morons.

"What's up four eyes?"

Cas looked up from his book to see taunting green eyes staring back at him.

"No much, seeing as you wear contacts."

Dean narrowed his eyes at him, "Guess I don't wanna look like a nerd."

"If being a nerd means being smart, it is definitely something you lack, Dean."

Dean rolled his eyes and turned around in his seat to talk to Lisa, the head cheerleader.

"I hate you," Cas muttered under his breath.

Charlie liked the soup. It was alphabet and she spelt out 'Johnlock' in the soup.

They spent the rest of the day watching Doctor Who reruns until Charlie passed out.

Overall Cas had a good day.

Until he realized he forgot to pick up his younger siblings.

"SHIT!"

He jumped up off the couch, waking up Charlie in the process, and ran over to his phone.

3 missed calls from Gabe

2 missed calls from Anna

"Shit, shit, shit," he muttered as he called Gabriel.

"Hey big bro, forget any siblings today? Oh wait, that would be me and Anna."

"I'm really sorry Gabe. Are you guys still at the school, I'm leaving now."

"No we're at a friends house. Do you know Sam Winchester? His brother's in your grade."

Cas froze in his tracks, his trench coat only half on and keys in his hand. A groggy Charlie was cursing him from the couch.

"Y - yeah, I think I know his brother."

"Oh, great! See you in a few."

Gabe hung up and Cas threw on his trench coat and shouted a half hearted apology from the doorway.

In the car he wondered if Dean would be home. And then had a mini panic attack at the idea of him being within 500 feet of Cas.

It took him five minutes flat until he reached the Winchester driveway on how hard he was pushing on the gas.

Cas hadn't been to his house since the 3rd grade.

When he pulled up in front of the house Gabe and Anna weren't outside yet so that meant he would have to go up to the front door.

Cas had only knocked once when the front door flew open to reveal a short, shaggy haired boy with big brown eyes. Cas hadn't seen Sam since he was four years old.

He gave Cas a big smile. "Hi! You're Castiel, right?"

He had dimples now.

Gabriel appeared behind him with a confused look on his face.

"Hey Cassie, I was just about to text you the address. How'd you know where we were?"

"I uh, I've studied here before."

"Oh," said Gabe with a shrug, "okay."

"Anna!" he screamed over his shoulder, "Cassie's here! Get your ass out the door!"

Anna walked over with her bag slung over her shoulder and a stereotypical teen eye roll.

"Kay lets go."

They both walked to the car and started fighting over who got to sit shotgun.

Cas smiled fondly at them and turned to thank Sam. Instead he found himself face to face with Dean Winchester.

"Cassie? Really? You never let me call you that," he said with a smirk.

"Shut up, assbutt."

"Next time don't forget your siblings, dickhead."

"Fuck you, Winchester," he said through gritted teeth.

"I guess I dodged a bullet eight years ago, huh?" Dean said before slamming the door in Cas' face.

Cas bit his lip and held back tears. "Guess so," he whispered.

Cas wiped a tear off his cheek and took a deep breath.

He turned back to his Lincoln Continental Mark V and huffed out a laugh when he saw Gabriel sitting triumphantly in the front seat.

"How'd you win?" he asked Gabe with a smile.

"He punched me in the frickin' boob!"

Castiel turned to Gabe with wide eyes, "That was dirty, I have taught you well," he said with a smirk.

Anna leaned forward and smacked them both on the arm. "Assholes!"
