Castiel Novak is what you call a nerd. Thick rimmed glasses, an enormous amount of books that he's read to many times over, and maybe an elusive blue beanie that matched his crystal eyes. He comes from a home with to little room and too many children. Going from oldest to youngest there's Michael, Gabriel, Castiel, Naomi, Hannah and Anna. After moving into a new city with his colossal, dysfunctional family, he arrives at a high school conveniently close to his home. It is there that he meets a boy named Dean Winchester. A boy who always has a smartass remark on the tip of his tongue and a care-free attitude. Castiel doesn't know why Dean strikes as interesting to him, but there's something different about him that he just can't place. Even in the shadow of his older brothers, Gabriel and Michael, Dean still comes to Castiel... and stays there.
Dean Winchester is what you consider a punk. He's always disrupting the classroom, being fashionably late, and loud-mouthing when he shouldn't be. He's been in this damn high school for only a year now and is already considered the most badass, yet heartbreaking boys in the school. After the death of his mother, who died in a massive explosion from a leaking gas pipe, his father became a terrible alcoholic and his brother, Sam, became depressed. John Winchester drank every where they went and eventually got himself killed in a car accident with Sam in the back seat. That left Dean, and a now forever changed Sam, with their god-father Bobby, god-mother Ellen, and god-sister Jo. When Castiel, the new boy, arrives at the school, Dean is utterly dumbfounded. No one... No one was allowed to be that adorable and not know it. He was a nerd, yes, but he was different from all the others, and Dean couldn't quite put a finger on what it was.
After they finally meet, it's like life couldn't function without each other close. Though fights broke out between them and misunderstandings destroy bridges... They come back... They always do.
A college Destiel AU fic.
Castiel Novak is 20 years old, and on the verge of a mental break down just about every damn day of his life.
He went to college to live up to his mother's expectations, but he's starting to rethink whether or not he actually cares about that.
Maybe it was the new found independence of living his own life? Or maybe it was the mysterious chat from a stranger that set him on the edge of rebellion.
He only accepted the chat because he had no friends in the real world to begin with... maybe he could use on online friend.
---------
Dean Winchester never knew how much he needed someone to care for.
With his little brother Sammy away at a different college and living with his girlfriend, Dean was all alone, where he previously had never had a moment to himself.
Dean started a chat with a stranger to find himself a new friend. He quickly realized how much he actually enjoyed the anonymous personality on the other side of the screen.
And through his 22 years, he had never fallen for someone as much as he did the kid from the party.
Little did he know, they were the same person.
