At eleven years old, Dean Winchester thinks he and Castiel will be best friends forever. One day, however, when Castiel shatters their friendship in one easy swoop, Dean finds himself fearing nothing will ever be the same between them again. Now seven years later, their paths cross again and together they find themselves figuring out who they truly are and who they were meant to be.

Castiel Novak is the most popular boy at school. He has tons of money, a sweet car, and is a star football player. Dean is an artist who is known by few at his old school and even fewer when he moves to Mount Vernon, Iowa. Both think they know themselves, but do they really?

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?

Having grown up under the care of his older brothers, Castiel Novak never truly got the chance to learn the regular, everyday things a child learns. He never learnt how to ride a bike, never learnt how to swim, to cook, to dance. When Castiel auditions for a role in a teen gay romance movie and lands the part, he finds himself slowly bonding with the actor of his character's lover, Dean Winchester, and accidentally lets slip about his uneducated childhood. Dean decides to make it his goal to teach Castiel all the things he missed out on as a child by the time they're done filming the movie. What he doesn't count on, is unknowingly teaching his co-star how to fall in love.

Despite Zeke’s threats, Dean doesn't tell Cas to leave the bunker. He revels in their burgeoning relationship, content to end his day with Cas asleep on his shoulder, even if they'll always sleep in separate rooms. Cas is it for him. But when Cas begins to experience physical urges he can't control, he asks Dean for a hand—metaphorically, and later, literally. Canon divergent after 9.03 "I'm No Angel."
