***SHOUTOUT TO MY FRIEND*** alyssawade25  who wrote a HELLA good book called The Chronicles of A Hunter: Heaven and Hell's War, so go read it!
And because she is a FABULOUS friend, she made a trailer for my book! ( It's the video on the top ^^) I love it sooo much :)

Dean woke up on Sunday with one arm curled protectively around Cass, who was curled against his chest, light drifting lazily in through the curtains and casting shadows onto the blanket. The smaller boy looked so peaceful, snoring gently in his sleep, so Dean carefully untangled himself and crept downstairs to make coffee.
Gabe's bag was still there, so it looked like he had stayed the night, too. John was already in the kitchen, reading the newspaper and sipping coffee as if they hadn't almost gotten murdured the other day. (Although, it was pretty normal for the Winchesters by this point.) Dean poured two cups out of John's already half empty coffee pot, and sat down at the table.
"Dean, tell Sam we're leaving in three days, as soon as I finishing packing everything up, and settle the lease on the house."
"Three days?!? But, Dad-" Dean protested angrily, but John cut him off.
"Dean, I don't want to hear it. Our work here is done, and there's another case waiting for us in Seattle. Say goodbye to your little friend."
With a humph of anger, Dean grabbed the coffee and left the room. He let out a frustrated breath and composed himself before entering his room.
"Hey, Cass..." Dean said sadly. He sat on the bed next to Cass and handed him a cup of coffee.
"Dean, what's the matter?"
"We're leaving in two days- what are we gonna do? I don't want to leave you, it won't be the same over Skype or snapchat but I can't leave my family either."
"We'll figure something out, Dean. We always do. But for now, we're going to school on Monday and presenting our Shakespeare project because I worked really hard on it and I'm not presenting without you."
"I guess that's the only thing we can do." Dean said with a sigh. He spent the rest of Sunday talking with Cass, Cass's head in his lap and Dean slowly stroking Cass's hair. Cass knew his mother would be mad he didn't text or call her, but he just couldn't deal with her right now.
They had to get out of the house, make the most of the three days they had, so they walked to the town's shopping center and went out for milkshakes with Sam and Gabe, played pool at the noisy bar (Cass didn't like it because he wasn't good at it, but stopped complaining when Dean wrapped his arms around him to show Cass how to hit properly), and football in the park (Cass wasn't very good at that either, but Dean was glad to have an excuse to tackle him :3 ) Eventually, they found themselves under a big oak tree as they watched the sunset together.
"I have to be honest, Cass, that was the most fun I've had in a while." Said Dean, kissing the top of Cass's head.
"I wish we could do this every day!" Said Cass, throwing his arms around Dean.
"But we can't..." Dean sighs, "I don't want to leave you."
"I know." They got up and slowly made their way back to Dean's house, holding hands all the way.
---Time skip to next morning---
Cass and Gabe slept over again, which was for the best because only Cass could wake Dean in the early mornings with a sleepy kiss and loud yawn. The night before had been a cold one, so they had made a blanket burrito and Cass had an excuse to snuggle up even closer to Dean. They woke up with the blankets on the floor and Dean had called first shower, since it was his house, so Cass packed his school bag and dashed off a quick text to his mother explaining that his friend had a "family emergency."
Dean came out of the shower dripping wet, waist wrapped in nothing but a towel, and he started rummaging through his drawers to find a clean pair of boxers. It took all of Cass's strength not to rip off that damn towel and do him right then and there. He'd never felt this way with anyone else, Dean was the only person who made him want more. More time, more kisses, just more Dean.
Dean got dressed, unaware of how much Castiel wanted him, and packed his backpack for school. They headed downstairs and John was already gone, and Sam and Gabe were at the table eating poptarts. Dean made orange juice and toaster waffles for Cass and him and they all walked out to the car.
Once they were all in the Impala, Dean drove them to River Valley High and Sam and Gabe headed off to their classes.
Dean and Cass sat in the Impala, trying to make every moment stretch longer.
"So, what'd you do while I was under the siren's spell?" Said Dean, trying to make small talk.
"I-I cried a lot. Umm, I ate an entire tub of gelato?" Then, Cass remembered Meg.
"Oh CRAP."
"What is it?"
"I thought you were cheating on me, and we had already broken up, and I was just so upset-"
"Cass, what is it? Just tell me."
"Remember that girlfriend it didn't work out with? Her name is Meg and I- please don't hate me- I didn't know what to do, so I called her, and..." Cass trailed off, embarrassed.
"Did you guys...?" Dean implied.
"No! God, no. We almost did, but she stopped me. I-I thought you didn't like me anymore. And she's the one who told me to give you a second chance. I'm really sorry."
Dean sighed. "Does she still have feelings for you? Do you still have feelings for her?"
"No... She was just a replacement for you, Dean, I've only ever loved you ever since I saw you. I didn't mean to hurt her, or you, but she's going to be staying in the motel until tomorrow. She said if it didn't work out to come give her a call."
"But you're not going to, right? I mean, if you want to, after I'm gone you'll be all alone-"
"I have to give her a proper goodbye, Dean. She'll never take your place, but she was there for me when I needed someone the most, and she deserves proper thanks. It wasn't your fault you weren't there, you were just protecting me, but I can't just let her go."
Dean sighs, wondering if this is really a good idea. Finally, he gives in. "I guess I could take you..."
"Thank you, you don't know how much this means to me. I want her to meet you, see what a great boyfriend I have." Cass kisses Dean on the cheek, and they walk into school holding hands.
