Chapter Text
Dean was in his college dorm room, his room mate had to take some time off for family reasons, so he had the place to himself. Which he was more than happy with. This gave him a chance to have some company whenever he wanted/needed it. Not that he was necessarily a major player, but every now and again he needed to blow off some steam... as it were.
He was online trying to do some research, but ended up trailing off looking up gaming tips and tricks so he could beat his younger brother when he went home on Sunday night for Sunday dinner.
His instant message service popped up. It was his secret crush. They have never formally met, but had been talking a lot online. Sending each other emails as well chatting online. They both knew they went to the same college as they started talking through a study forum that was set up to help students with their study and to find tutors and study groups. They ended up finding another means of messaging each other as the conversations they were having were staring to get very heated and they weren't sure if the college monitored the messenger service.
Dean's screen name was of course after his baby, 67Impala. His secret crushes was Angel, which seemed like an odd choice for a male to have, but Angel explained that he has a religious family and all his brothers and himself were named after Angels.
Angel: Hello 67Impala, how is your day going?
67Impala: Hey sweetie! My day just got better and better. I haven't seen you online for a couple of days. Is everything okay?
Angel: aawww you were worried about me? Yes, I am fine. I had to go home for a few days. I got a tutoring job though, a high school boy needs help with biology. That will give me some extra $$$ I have my first session on Sunday.
67Impala: Of course I was worried! I missed you. Hope all is well with your family. Congrats! On the job man, that's awesome! I have to go home for Sunday dinner this week. So looks like we won't be able to chat on Sunday. You know, one of these days we need to meet up. Scary I know, but I really want to be with you.
Angel: I would love to meet one day too, I want to be able to hold you and most importantly to be able to kiss you. Plus it would be nice to hear you talk, I bet you have an amazing sounding instrument.
67Impala: Man, we have to stop talking like this, you are getting me all hot and flustered. But we need to discuss meeting up.
Angel: Yes, I agree. How about we discuss it next week. I have to go to a class now. Talk to you later.
67Impala: Sounds good, Angel. Talk to you then ;)
They used to talk for hours and hours. Sometimes until two or three in the morning. Dean's room mate had to put a stop to it and told Dean he can't be online chatting up his boyfriend past midnight on a weekday and two in the morning on weekends. Unless of course his room mate had been lucky enough to hook up with one of the college girls. Benny was friends with Dean from the moment they met. They of course met when they both moved in and got assigned as room mates. Dean was always afraid to tell Benny he was bisexual, he didn't know how he would react. The world is much more progressive than it used to be, but not all people are accepting as they make out they are.
However, Benny already knew. 'Dean, man, can I ask you a question?' He asked while they were sitting in their room studying.
'Yeah.'Dean replied without taking his eyes off his books.
'You know I know you're gay, right?' Benny was looking right at Dean as Dean just froze in his place, slowly turning his head to look at his room mate who had a massive grin on his stubble wide manly face.
'Am I that obvious?' Dean asked Benny, now more relaxed that this conversation had started. But also kicking himself that he didn't start it.
Benny let out a massive laugh. 'Nah man, not obvious, as such. But I can tell when we go to parties, you are not checking out the hot girls like most of us are.'
'Well, I have been with girls before, and enjoyed it. If you want to label it I consider myself bisexual. I have even been with both at the same time.' Dean said to Benny, not sure if that falling out his mouth was going to be a mistake or not.
Benny laughed, 'how did that go?' He wanted to be open with Dean, they were best mates.
'Well, lets just say the girl left early.' Dean replied as they both cracked up laughing.
….....................................................................................
It got to about 3 pm on Sunday afternoon and Dean knew he had to get to his parents place for dinner and he always gets into trouble off his father if he tries to delay it. Plus he does miss spending time with Sammy, his younger brother.
As he pulled into the driveway, he saw an old beat up Mustang parked out the front. That poor car, Dean thought to himself. Who would let a classic like that turn to crap.
He walked through the front door without knocking and heard a rough low voice coming from the formal dinning room. As he looked around the corner he saw a cute guy sitting with Sam, a bunch of books open in front of them. Sam was a senior and wanted to be a top lawyer.
'Hey, Sammy.' Dean said as he came into the room. 'Who's this?'
The young cute guy stood up and put his hand out towards Dean who took it. As they shook hands the young guy said 'my name is Castiel, I'm Sam's tutor. Nice to meet you...'
'Dean, Sammy's older brother. ' he replied to Castiel.
'Dean.' Castiel said with a small smile on his face.
'Dean, how many times have a I told you not to call me, Sammy.' Sam said in a defiant tone.
'Yeah, whatever.' Dean said to his younger brother messing his brown pretty hair around.
'Where's mum?' Dean asked Sam, still trying not to stare at this Castiel that was tutoring his brother.
'She's in the kitchen, dad is angry because you didn't get here sooner.' Sam said in with a small laugh, liking that his brother would be trouble.
'Dean.' Mary came in the room carrying plates. 'I see you have already met Sam's tutor, Castiel.' She kissed Dean on his cheek and he got a little embarrassed that this cute guy had seen his mum kiss him.
'Yeah, I have. Tell me, is that your Mustang out front?' Dean asked as he sat down at the table across from Castiel.
'Yeah it is, she needs a lot of work, one of the reasons I have started tutoring. Plus it helps me with kids, I want to be a teacher.' Castiel said as he was starting to pack up.
'I have some mechanics training from my dad. I would be happy to help you, no labour costs. I can even check with dad if we can use his garage from time to time.' Dean said, he liked this guy. He was a little cutie.
Castiel smiled and that made Dean melt. 'That would be wonderful. I'll give you my number.' Castiel wrote down his number on a piece of paper from his note book and handed it to Dean. Dean made sure when he took the piece of paper that their fingers brushed against each other. The spark was definitely there, from both of them.
'Dean, help your brother clear the table.' John shouted from the lounge room.
Dean just looked at Castiel. Castiel helped Sam and he tidied up after himself as well. As Castiel was making another time with Mary and Sam, Dean thought he better go in and say hello to his father.
'Hey, Dad,' he said as he stood in the doorway to the lounge room. 'How's the game?'
'How's your grades?' John asked eyeing his eldest son as Dean sat down on the lounge next the John's recliner.
'So far, so good.' Dean just watched the television. He has a very unsteady relationship with John. It started when he found some naked pictures of men in his room and then when he found some bisexual porn under his bed. John just thought it was some disgusting faze Dean was going through. So they don't have a very open relationship, not like John does with Sam. That makes Dean jealous. However Mary is very accepting of Dean and will often ask him how things are going. All John cares about is that he is paying a college fund for a son that won't go into the family business.
….....................................................................................
The whole evening was just as uncomfortable as it usually is. Sam was talking all about how he has joined the baseball team, just like John did at school. Mary was interested in what Dean was doing at college and what he needs to do after to become a paramedic. John asked how his room mate Benny, was. Dean believes that John would have preferred to have Benny as a son over him.
When the dinner was over, Dean and Sam when to Sam's room to play some video games. He could hear muffled conversation about Dean from Mary and John. If it wasn't for Sammy, he doesn't think he would ever step back into this house. He loves his parents and he would hate to hurt Mary, but he hates how John treats him and coming back makes his feel like he doesn't belong.
He made an excuse about study and a big test coming up and took off at around nine o'clock. As he drove back to the college dorm rooms, all he could think about was Castiel. How he smiled, his amazing ocean blue eyes, the sound of his voice. But what about his Angel?
