Rule #1: Keep the house clean.
Rule #7: Call me Master Jamie.
Rule #11: We're not friends.
Rule #101: No falling in love; I promise you, it's one-sided.
Joe's entire life crumbled when his successful husband blatantly asked for a divorce and admitted that he no longer had any feelings for him. He fell into a crippling depression, losing his workplace, becoming an alcoholic and finding himself unable to afford a place to stay. His disappointed grandmother left him in the streets, and he was left homeless where he slept in alleyways, drunk.
Until a new bartender named Jamie started working in at local bar Joe usually visited, and Joe was shocked when he asked, "How about you move-in with?"
Not only does he get paid, but he basically lives there for free. Jamie offers him all his clothes, and free time to do whatever he wants. Under one condition, not only does Joe have to work as his housemaid, but he MUST follow ALL THE RULES.
And I mean all of them.
Even Rule #101: No falling in love.
Well, shouldn't be that hard, right?
At least that's what Joe thought.
It was only a kiss - bit of summer fun. That was all. Holiday friendships dont often last so why bother learning each others names? You'd only have to go back home, discover you lived an impossible distance away and slowly lose contact.
10 years later and Castiel just landed his first big job after graduating. A bit late in the game I know, but so what if he wanted to travel before doing his degree? He had had the most fun of his life on his summer vacations afterall. Now its time to impress the new boss if he is to keep his job for very long (and to also keep his very high-maintenance girlfriend). Thing is, his boss is a bit unconventional, and he cant shake that feeling of Deja Vu...
