Cas took a deep breath and entered the hell hole that was high school. It didn't help that his only friend was now his older brother. Or that he was gay. That ruined everything.
Cas sighed as he felt all eyes on him. He noticed the whispering in the hall; people avoiding him like the plague; but worst of all- the football team would be here soon.
"Hey, faggot."
Michael called out, tapping Cas on the shoulder.
"That's not my name, Michael."
Cas replied, turning to face him.
"You should know that."
"Well, you don't deserve to get called by your real name- you're a disgrace to the family!"
Cas sighed.
"Listen, just let me get through my day, what's your problem."
"What's my problem? There's something not natural about you Cas- you like boys."
"That's not unatural Michael, it's just who I am. And you, as my brother, should accept that."
Cas gasped, and keeled over- having been winded due to Michael punching him in the stomach.
"You're no brother of mine."
Michael sneered, as the rest of the football team laughed at him.
All except Dean. Dean just stared blankly at Cas. One could have called it sympathy, but Cas knew that wasn't possible- not after the way Dean had acted when Cas came out to him. He started ignoring him, spent more time with the football team, and less time with Cas, and now he'd gotten himself a new girlfriend- Lisa. That's what hurt the most. It's not like Cas expected Dean to feel the same way about him- not that Cas ever told him about his feelings- but it still hurt. 14 years of friendship, over with just two words.
*flashback*
"I'm gay."
Dean's eyes widened as Cas said the words that would change their friendship for what seemed like forever.
"Well? Aren't you going to say something?"
Cas asked, he leant over to place a hand on Dean's shoulder.
"Listen, I know this may be difficult to understand.."
He flinched as Dean drew back from him, and stormed to the corner of the room.
Dean couldn't even look at him.
"Cas- you can't be gay."
Cas could feel tears stinging his eyes.
"Why not?"
"Because...because it's not natural to have these feelings about a man!"
Dean yelled, though he felt a crack in his voice. Dean knew he was trying to convince himself more than telling Cas.
"Well, if that's how you feel, then I guess we can't be friends anymore."
Cas replied, getting up to storm out of the room.
"Why would I want to be friends with someone like you?"
Dean retorted. He regretted it as soon as he said it. He was still facing away from Cas.
"Goodbye Dean."
Was all Cas could get out before storming out, sprinting back to his house so that he could disappear into a puddle of tears.
*flash back ends*
But that was all behind him now. He shouldn't think about Dean anymore, even though he did...everyday.
