I wrote this based on this gifset: blueeyestrenchcoat. tumblr post/47641036715/au-sam-and-cas-meet-while-playing -online-games. It's a work in progress, but like my other fic I want to stick to a schedule. I'm going to try to update every Wednesday. Anyway, right now the plan is to have one chapter from Sam's view point and the next from Cas's and alternate like that.
Misha was thrown in last minute as the set up to a funny later. I've never really written Misha, so if I don't do great at him forgive me.
Enjoy, let me know what you think. Also, shout-out to my tumblr followers because without their help I would have never gotten this done.
Sam sighed once he'd finally managed to be alone. His roommate had been bothering him all day about going out to a club, but Sam had better things to do that night. He clicked on the familiar blue and gold icon, smiling at the World of Warcraft log-in screen came up.

The screen disappeared, and Sam used the time during which the game was loading to get himself a soda. He didn't want to have to get up during the game to get a drink; even the thirty seconds it took to get to the fridge and back could result in his death and he was on a good streak. The character page appeared, and Sam picked his best character, a level sixty-five human hunter named swessonsmith. He had to wait again for the game to load, and this time he had enough time to make a run to the bathroom.
When he got back, he could see two other players standing next to him. One was his brother Dean, a level sixty-seven human hunter named dsmithwesson. The two had created their characters together when Sam was twelve and Dean was sixteen. Dean had been the one to pick their character names.
The other one was their best friend Jo. She was Sam's age, and had grown up with the brothers. She was practically a sister to them. Her character was a level sixty-six human rogue named roadhousechick.
The three of them had been playing together since they'd made the accounts ten years ago. In high school, it had been a way to mess around and procrastinate when they had homework due. It had been a secret between the three teens that their parents didn't know about. When Sam left for college at Stanford, the first of their group to do so, it became a way for them to stay connected across hundreds of miles.
[Dsmithwesson] whispers: Hey Sammy.
[Roadhousechick] whispers: Hi Sam.
[Swessonsmith] whispers: Hi guys. Are you ready?
They had a raid that they'd been planning for a month. This was the first Friday when they all had the night off. Jo worked in her mom's bar, so Friday's were usually her busiest night, but as it was Good Friday, the bar was closed that night.
[Roadhousechick] whispers: Not yet. Ash is coming, whenever he finishes with his joint.
[Dsmithwesson] whispers: Seriously? He's horrible when he's high.
[Roadhousechick] whispers: Like you've never played drunk before, Deano.
[Dsmithwesson] whispers: At least I don't run off cliffs when I'm drunk.
[lynyrdwarrior] whispers: That was one time, man.
[Swessonsmith] whispers: Ignore him, Ash.
It wasn't long before they had started their raid. It went off without a hitch, and once they were done, Ash and Jo both left. They both had to work the next day. Dean and Sam stayed on for a while longer, intending to complete a couple quests together and level up a bit. They were deep in a dungeon, surrounded by enemies and had run out of healing items twenty minutes ago. They really didn't want to go through the hassle of dying. Dean was one hit away from death, and Sam wasn't far behind him.
[Dsmithwesson]: Dude, this is your fault!
[Swessonsmith]: You're the one who didn't let us go shopping before coming down here.

Blueeyedangel's prayer of healing heals swessonsmith for 518.
[Dsmithwesson]: What the hell?
[Blueeyedangel]: You appeared to require assistance, and so I assisted you.
[Sammydavis8798]: Cassie, don't run off on me like that. You'll get yourself killed.
Sam furrowed his brow as he watched the chat messages pop up. He had no idea who these two people are, or why they had healed him and Dean. With the way they were interacting, however, it was clear that they knew each other pretty well. He glanced at the clock, only then realizing that it was one in the morning his time, which meant it was three for Dean.
[Swessonsmith]: I've gotta get off, Dean.
[Sammydavis8798]: Aww, so soon? We just saved your asses and you're leaving us?
[Blueeyedangel]: Gabriel, please be nice. I should be leaving as well.
[Dsmithwesson]: Bye Sammy.
[Sammydavis8798]: Bye Deano.
[Dsmithwesson]: Wasn't talking to you.
[Swessonsmith]: Good night, Dean.
Log out?
Yes No
Logging out…..
Logged out.
Sam shut his laptop and stood up, going to dump his soda can in the recycling bin before going to change into pajamas. He was just collapsing into bed when his roommate, Misha, walked in. Sam let out a groan at the sound of the door closing and looked up at the other.
"Did I wake you up?" Misha asked, his tone teasing.
"No. Just got into bed," Sam mumbled, burying his head in the pillow. Misha walked over and patted Sam's shoulder before going to get changed himself.
"Well, whatever you stayed up until two in the morning doing, I hope it was fun." He climbed into his own bed, and it wasn't long before they were both asleep.
