There's no time for nerves, no time for second guessing. There's only right now, and right now he has Cas. (Or, in which Dean and Cas get over themselves and take a roadtrip before Cas's grace runs out. Not S10 canon compliant.)

What if the gender you were given, the gender you were born with, wasn’t really your real you? But then, on another day, it was? This is how it is for Castiel Novak - born a boy, but they flow between the genders like the come and go of the tide. Maybe this was Dean’s bisexual dream?

Dean Winchester is nineteen years old and only a year out of high school when he gets sent to the hospital after a argument with his father. Nothing serious occurred, but Dean was required to spend the next few days under observation. While he is spending his time in the hospital of utter boredom, he meets Castiel, a young man the same age as him as a patient of cancer. Forming a quick bond, he begins visiting the boy even when he gets out, but is something more going on?

It's 1995, and Castiel's high school years are destined to be difficult: home-schooled until eighth grade, he is awkward, shy, and socially inept. The weird kid with the funny name would rather isolate himself and draw in his sketchbook than deal with the constant bullying he faces every day. Things only get worse in his junior year when he excels in home economics class, leading the captain of the baseball team, Alastair, to start taunting him for being gay. Then new student Dean Winchester arrives at Flour Bluff High School, sharing many of Castiel's classes. Castiel has seen his type before -- handsome, athletic, arrogant, and sure to be the most popular kid in school. But Castiel eventually learns that he and Dean have more in common than he thought, and they form an unlikely friendship.

Be warned, there are many stories here that you may question. A lot. Don't judge me too harshly, I'm always cringing as it is. For the most part it's cute, but....

They met at a Gay Rights Convention called The Rainbow Connection. They weren't even gay at the time, but they were enforced by friends of theirs to go. But they laid eyes on each other and something clicked. And it only continued at school.

This is where I will go to write some quick one-shots when I need a break from the fics and stories I am writing. Destiel pairing.
