"Cas, let me look," Dean said, pulling up Castiel's sleeve to see the deep cut near the crook of his elbow, "Please."

"No…" Castiel whispered, trying not to cry and pulling his arm away, "No, Dean, it's okay."

"It's really deep…come on," Dean told him, "My mom and dad are good at first aid stuff."

The fourteen year olds ran towards Dean's house, Dean holding Castiel's hand all the way, past the worn-looking houses, through the main town, past the cinema, mall, town hall, library and school before reaching more worn-looking houses. They finally reached the Winchester home and Dean rushed Castiel inside.

"Mom? Dad?" Dean called, "Sammy?"

"Dean, it hurts." Castiel said quietly, his lower lip trembling a little.

"It's okay, Cas." Dean promised, "Mom?"

Mary came rushing in from the back yard to her boy.

"Dean?"

"Mom, it's Cas! He's got a deep cut on his arm!" Dean exclaimed, Mary checking the wound before taking Castiel's hand.

"Come on, Sweetheart," She said softly, "That looks sore."

"It is." Castiel laughed weakly, trying to keep the tears from filling his eyes.

Dean kept a hold of Castiel's hand as Mary cleaned the wound up and stitched it, Castiel squeezing Dean's hand every so often when there was pain. Dean didn't mind. It made him feel special, like Castiel needed him.

They lived in a small town called Jasmine Springs, probably the crappiest town in America. It was a town with a small dock that the fisherman used to go out and get their catch with. It would get sold on to the people in town. There was Dean's godfather's salvage yard where Dean's dad worked, the cinema, the library, the town hall, a diner, the school complex (basically elementary, middle and high all on the same lot), a general store, the mall and a bar called The Roadhouse. There were a few large houses that the richer people owned and then the worn-looking houses where everyone else lived. In short, the place sucked.

The people were okay…everyone knew everyone else though that meant that if you told anyone a secret it would go around the town like wildfire. Dean and Castiel had a huge group of friends. There was Dean's nine year old brother, Sam, Castiel's sixteen year old brother, Gabriel, Castiel's fifteen year old sister Anna, their best friends, Sarah, Jo and her cousin, Crowley. Crowley was sent over from England when his parents died in a car accident. The group of friends loved his accent.

"I'm gonna call your mom to come and get you, okay?" Mary said softly, "You might need to see a doctor."

Castiel nodded and smiled gratefully as he studied his arm.

"Thanks, Mary." He said, Mary kissing his forehead and leaving to call his mother, "My mom's gonna kill me."

"Why?" Dean asked.

"Because I hurt myself…again…she's sick of me having accidents." Castiel replied, "She's just worried about me, I guess."

Dean nodded and released Castiel's hand, neither of them realising they'd been holding hands the entire time.

Castiel gazed into Dean's beautiful green eyes with his own big, bright blue ones and he smiled.

"Thanks, Dean…you know…for looking after me." He said sheepishly.

"No worries, Cas." Dean said with a chuckle, "Anything for my best friend."
