For Castiel Novak everything started normally and was like any other day. He woke and got up at nine, which being a student was quite impressive especially considering he had no lectures or seminars to go to and his last exam was over, two day ago, so he had absolutely nothing to do or get up for. Officially he wasn't really a first year history student anymore, but his dorm was paid for until the end of the month so why not stay until then?
It means he could hang out with his new friends in his student on campus flat, without having the burden of work towering over him, plus he was kind of avoiding going home. He was attempting to avoid a lot of things, a lot of people in that town his family for one. Like most 19 year olds he did really like them, not in a major way, he loved them and he supposed they got along and had their moments, they just never had anything to say to each other. Especially now, he just knew a massive 'I told you so' was waiting for him, which he really didn't want.
Those that had befriended him, despite him being shy, reserved and a little awkward, those that took the time to care, his friends, those he has lived with for almost a year, they were his family; Anna, Gabriel, Balthazar and Michael. His brothers and sisters.
So you can imagine Castiel's surprise when his ordinary day took such an extra ordinary turn.
Cas made his way into the kitchen at about ten, he was a little surprised to see every one up and sitting at the table. Gabriel could barley keep his eyes open, he was nursing a cup of coffee and taking some pills, he had a messy night last night, he went out with his film lot (he was a film studies student) for a birthday, they went to town, Gabriel got wasted and today he was paying for it, badly. The sight made Cas smile as he came in only Gabriel would feel this bad and then do exactly the same a few days later.
Cas didn't have anymore exams but Michael did (he was studying engineering) and was currently cramming for his last exam tomorrow, an exam of which he has only just started revising for, student.
Anna was working, papers spread across half the table, she wasn't finished with her course 'till the end of the month, she didn't have lectures or seminars, she had placement (she was a primary education student.) and was placed with year 3, she had to plan her lessons and it was a lot harder than Cas thought it should be, her whole course was, she had done more assignments that all of them put together.
Cas was not surprised to see Balthazar up, he seemed to rise with the dawn, as poetic as that sounds there isn't really but to do at six in the morning so he wonders why Balthazar does it, he was from a large family, a lot of younger siblings he had to take care of, so Cas figures it was just habit getting up so early so he could sort everything out for the day, at the moment he was nose deep in a book called 'angelology ' huh Cas thought odd choice.
He greeted them all as he walked in and they did too in their own way. Michael wished him good morning without looking up from his books, Balthazar caught his eye winked then resumed his reading, Anna tapped for cheek and Cas bent down and kissed it, she did this to everyone she was every loving and open about it, it was strange to Cas at first but now it was be odd without it, Gabriel had his head on the table and just waved with his right and without looking up and this left hand was feeling the warmth of his drink. Cas got his mug out of his cupboard and made himself a cup of tea, his back to the others.
"I think I might still be slightly drunk." Gabriel spoke for the first time as he waved a hand in front of his face, no one was sure what this was going to prove. Only Gabriel could be hung over and throwing up yet still drunk at the same time. Without looking up Michael got his index finger and his middle finger and pushed against Gabriel's forehead gently, making the boy's head fly back and hit the wall.
"Yep." Michael told him still without looking up. The knock to his head seem to have retched his stomach, that did not sit well he darted from the room, feeling the contence of his stomach churn around the alcohol that still resided there, once he threw up he would feel better. Everyone laughed as he ran form the room, down the corridor and into his room in order to throw up in his sink.
After a moment or two there was a knock on the door and all four of them looked up at each other to see who would be answering the door this time, Balthazar put his book down and moved to get up as they heard,
"I'll get it!" coming from the corridor as Gabriel ran, yeah he was feeling better. So Balthazar went back to his book and everyone else to their own thing in comfortable silence. The run wasn't a good idea and Gabriel had to make a pit stop for the toilet before he opened the door, which had been knocked a few more times before it was answered.
Cas heard Gabe open the door an some muffled convocation, he thought for a second he heard a familiar voice but shook it of and though he was hearing things.
The kitchen door opened and Cas could hear everyone look up, after a moment Cas turned. His eyes instantly clashed with the heartbreakingly familiar hazel green eyes of the last person he had expected to see, the last person he wanted to see. Shocked rippled through his body, he felt sick, his legs felt weak, mouth fell open and eyes wide. He was so taken back by the visitor he lost his ability to grip and his mug fell and crashed against the floor. Everyone in the room was starting darting their gaze from Castiel to the boy in the door away, they were staring at each other the others in the room could basically feel the tension. Soon Cas managed to avert his eyes and looked to the broken sharps of his mug on the floor as his morning tea pooled around it.
"Hey Cassie." The boy greeted him with an awkward yet still endearing smile.
So thats chapter one, chapter two will be up shortly hope you enjoyed it and please reivew :)
