I smiled and showed him to the room. That afternoon, I couldn't stop thinking about Cas. About his hair,his beautiful eyes; anything and everything that made him special. Castiel was an amazing person, and I was falling for him quickly.

That day when I got home after dropping Sam off at Jess's house, I was smiling very hard. I tried to stop myself so my mom wouldn't notice, but I couldn't get my mind off of Cas. When I walked through the door, my mom was standing in the kitchen, and she obviously saw me smiling. "What got into you?" She asked. It's not that I was a depressing person, I just wasn't a person who would smile unless I had a reason. "Nothing." I responded. She instantly smiled. "You met a boy, Didn't you?"

I told my parents that I was gay when I first entered high school. My mom supported me fully and wasn't bothered by it. My dad, on the other hand, didn't exactly disapprove of it, but there's still tension between us when the topic is brought up.

When I blushed, my mom smiled wider. "You did! What's his name? Is he cute?" My face got even redder. "He's cute, isn't he?" My mom asked, still smiling as wide as the moon. She wasn't really asking, more of just stating the obvious. I gave up. "Yea, he's got this awesome hair and really blue eyes and..and.." I hesitated. "And What?" She encouraged. "And I think I really like him." I half-whispered. She pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm so happy for you, honey." She whispered in my ear. "He sounds amazing." My mom knew how important it was to me that she was supporting me. "Thank you." I said, still hugging her. After I let go, I darted up the stairs to text Charlie.

D: You there?

C:Yea, what's up?

D: Can I ask you something?

C: Me first.

D: Ask away.

C:Why were you so happy today?

D: I met someone.

C: As in a guy?

Charlie is the only one who knew about me being gay in the whole school, and I'm the only one who knew she was gay. I guess that might be way we always hung out.

I was thinking about what I should say next, but she texted me again.

C: YOU TOTALLY MET A GUY, DIDN'T YOU! What's his name? Is he hot? I bet he's hot. COME ON DEAN! I NEED DETAILS!

D: Yes, he's cute. And his name is Castiel.

C: Isn't that the new guy?

D: Yea.

C: Dean, I'm so happy for you.

D: Thanks, Charlie. That means a lot.

C: Come on. Tell me more. I wanna know why he's so great.

I could've gone on for hours telling her what makes Cas great.

D: He has these amazingly blue eyes.

C: What else?

D: He has an amazing smile and his hair is so cute and I can't help but stare at him.

C: Sweetie, you got it bad.

She was right. I just met the guy and the whole day I couldn't keep my mind off of him.

We continued our conversation for a while longer until my mom asked me to help her make dinner.

The whole time, my mom kept asking me about Cas. "Do you think he likes you back?" she eventually asked. "I don't think so." I replied sadly. "I think I'm getting my hopes up." "You should ask him out." she responded. "You could bring him here one day when I'm working and Sam could go to Jess's, so you two could have the house to yourselves and you could cook for him." My mom never needed to include my dad in conversations like that because he was always at work.

I quickly changed the subject, not wanting to think about being courageous enough to ask Cas out. "Speaking of Sam, shouldn't I go pick him up?" "Yea," She responded. "Thanks, hon." I called out before I left, "Be back in a bit!"
