Synopsis: Nathaniel and Castiel, for as long as they both could remember, have always held something against the other. If it wasn't Nathaniel's sister, Amber, then it was school and how Castiel constantly skipped it. If it wasn't school work, then it was another girl Castiel teased and made cry over him. If not a girl, it was their strong connection to each other which was thinly concealed underneath the weak label of rivalry.
However, when Ken's father entered their midst in an attempt to recruit one of the boys into the military and threatened to separate the other, Nathaniel and Castiel found themselves caught in a web of emotion and the possibility of losing one another for the first time in years.
Author's note: Ken, Jade, Amber, Armin, Alexy, and Melody are supporting characters and will not appear often. There will be very mild language (it's Cas we're talkin' 'bout) and some mild kissing scenes later, but no mature details. And yes, I know the actual reason behind Castiel's negativity towards Nathaniel, but I'll make up a different reason for plot. Lastly, Ria's gonna be in a romance of her own, so this is not solely focused on BL.
"I'd rather not talk about that."
"He always acts like he has a problem with every freakin' thing I do. That's why."
They both share a secret about their band practicing at night in one of the school rooms. Both have a relationship concerning Amber. Both have to mention or talk about the other at some point or another, Ria thought as she contemplated Nathaniel's and Castiel's last few words upon her bringing up one with the other. Couldn't they be any more obvious?
Rolling her eyes at their ignorance, Ria stormed out of the school campus in a disbelieving huff.
Just wait 'til it's too late, then they'll get the picture. Idiots.
