The morning started like any other for the omega kit. Castiel yawned and stretched outwardly, his tail twitching lazily and his ears were pinned to his head, tangled up in his dark, unruly locks. Castiel had very very dark brown hair, and his mother and father both had lighter shades, as did most of his family. But for whatever reason he was born with a coat of midnight black, that often got him strange looks seeing as how it almost looked blue in the light. Castiel was not fond of his coat, it was boring and simple, he curled his tail up in front of his face and looked at it, before he sighed and got up to take a cold shower. Hissing at the temperature and at the feeling of water he quickly jumped in and quickly jumped out as soon as he was clean enough for school. Then dragged himself out of the bathroom to get dressed.

He'd never been a morning person.

The kit was about to choose a pair of faded jeans and long sleeve sweater, he didn't want to attract a lot of attention, but let out a groan as he remembered Charlie had bothered him into helping out with the greeting today. She had nearly begged him to give her hand passing out schedules due to his apparent "OCD" and organizational skills. But he still never recalled having any sort of mental disability. Castiel sighed audibly and moved deeper into his closet to find his suit. He was already awkward enough around his friends, but having to deal with complete strangers? Perfect.

Castiel dressed quickly in his favorite white, button up and a pair of smart, blacks slacks. He tied his blue tie to the best of his ability, which wasn't good but he managed, and tried to flatten down his hair, only to have it spring back up immediately, always messier than before. Castiel just gave up and yawned, padding down the stairs and into the kitchen where his elder brother had already prepared breakfast.

"Good morning Gabriel."

"Hmm, mornin Cassie.."

Castiel simply rolled his eyes at the obnoxious nickname and grabbed his pack to leave. Gabriel made no move to stop him but quirked his eyebrow up in interest.

"Leaving so soon? You gotta eat something Cassie. And school doesn't open for another hour."

"I know. As well as I'm taking breakfast with me. But I made a promise to Charlie to hand out schedules and help the students get organized."

Gabe simply grinned in response. "Well then, since I'm up I'll join you. Oh! By the by there Cassie, did you hear we're getting a new alpha?" The kit purred, as he shook his blonde hair and his platinum tail and ears twitched excitedly.

"So that's why you're up so early.." Castiel grumbled.

"Hmmm?"

Castiel just nodded his head in confirmation. News travels quickly in this small town and alphas were scarce as it is. Most lived in the bigger and more populated cities, like New York. "I've heard the rumors Gabe. But you shouldn't believe everything you hear."

Gabriel simply snorted and swished his tail amusedly. "There's also rumors that he's a wolf.."

Castiel's eyes widened distinctly at that. Wolves might as well be an endangered species. So if there were rumors about a wolf circulating around town then there must be some kind of truth to them. "Purebred or half wolf?" Castiel asked, managing to keep himself sounding much calmer than he actually was.

"I only heard he's a purebred." Gabriel hummed, pouring an ungodly amount of sugar in his already cream filled coffee. Castiel's tail was twitching with enthusiasm as he imagined the possibilities of seeing a wolf close up. Gabriel noticed and smirked, "You excited there Cassise?"

"But of course! I have never met a wolf before, so this will be a very valuable learning experience."

Gabriel brightened at this, "Well hell yeah, let's go! I heard he's quite the looker too!" He purred, waggling his eyebrows suggestively.

Castiel simply rolled his eyes, gathered up his things, and followed his skipping brother out the door.

"Morning Wings!" came the familiar greeting of the fiery redhead. Castiel simply blinked down at her as he closed the door behind him.

"Hello Charlie. I hope you don't mind but I brought Gabe along. He wants to meet our newest student." The shorter alpha peered around his brother's shoulder and gave a friendly salute. His tail standing playfully at attention.

"Morning phoenix."

"Hey shortstack."

They glowered at each other impishly until Charlie finally looked away from him to address Castiel. "Yeah, I heard the new guys supposed to be a wolf but I think the whole thing might be a bit overblown. But who knows, we'll see when he gets here." Castiel just bobbed his head slowly, looking a bit disappointed. Charlie slugged him in the arm, "Cheer up wings! We don't know what'll happen! Either way I do have confirmation he's some nice eye candy." she winked. "Now c'mon! The first few batches of students are here. Time to get to work!"

Castiel gulped nervously, "Perfect…"

The morning was a bit too loud and disorganized for Castiel's tastes. Charlie was lucky that he'd managed to put everything in alphabetical order before the real rush of students started. 'You're a life saver' she'd said. Castiel rolled his eyes endearingly and continued reading the book placed gingerly upon his lap. He was on break and Gabe was now being ordered around by Charlie. Castiel let out a small laugh knowing Gabe had not come expecting to have to work.

He yowled when Gabe came stumbling by, with another box of planners in his arms, and stepped on his tail. Castiel scowled at him and he just smiled apologetically before scrambling over to Charlie as she called for him again. Castiel just huffed and coiled his tail around the stool he'd been sitting on in the corner of the little greeting area. Then his eyes perked up, finding the room uncomfortably quiet seeing as how loud it had been moments before and how many people were still present, judging from the smells throughout the room. He took a tentative glance up and noticed a figure standing in the doorway, casting sunlight into the small lobby. He squinted in the glare and gasped once his eyes adjusted.

In the doorway stood the most beautifully sculpted man Castiel had ever seen. He was obviously toned in the way his shirt clung to his broad shoulders and chiseled abdomen. His jeans were tattered and worn in a way that just suited his bowlegs. The hair on his head was gelled and spiked, combed loosely to the side. His hair was a sandy blonde color that turned a more crisp golden shade when you moved from the tips to the roots. But Castiel's jaw really dropped when he saw a wolf's tail swish behind him. His coat.. oh heavens that coat. His fur was the most beautiful mix of caramel and hazelnut coloring. With splotches of a mahogany bronze strewn here and there throughout his fur. His full twitching ears upholding the same color combination.

Castiel had just managed to regain some control over his thoughts when the wolf suddenly spoke; "Well this sure as hell is a warm welcome if I've ever seen one." he rumbled, voice vibrating throughout the room, sending a chill down Castiel's spine. He then chuckled, the sound reverberated in his chest. That note alone made Castiel purr deep within his own throat.

After the wolf's joke the tension in the air began to fade as the students began to speak again. The wolf shoved his hands into his pockets and made his way to the counter, looking somewhat abashed. Castiel noticed his movement towards the greeting area and quickly jumped to his feet, running to the front of the counter and shoving Charlie lightly.

"Charlie, as exciting this probably is for both of us I humbly request I take over the greeting."

Charlie just grinned at him, threw her hands up in mock surrender and backed away from the counter. Castiel smiled at her and then turned to watch as the wolf made his way slowly through the crowd. Castiel took a deep breath to calm his nerves and slowly opened his eyes again, only to lose all thought processing that he'd just regained.

The wolf had looked up and locked eyes with the kit and Castiel suddenly found himself lost in a whirlwind of green and gold. The wolfs eyes were a mystifying green with gold specks cutting through the jade. They were amazing and happened to be highlighted by golden brown freckles that coated his cheeks.

Neither the kit nor the wolf had moved or said anything since they'd locked eyes but the wolfs own gaze had been roaming up and down the omega. Eyeing him, and Castiel shivered at the thought. Finally, after what seemed like hours, Castiel swallowed the lump in his throat and squeaked out, "You.. your.. What's your name?"

The wolfs dragged his eyes back up to Castiel faces with some obvious effort and rumbled "I'm sorry… What did you say?" The alpha aura was intimidating, but his words and eyes were kind. Making Castiel's nervousness melt away.

"I asked for your name so that I may find your schedule for you."

The wolf faltered for a moment before reaching up and rubbing behind his neck. "D-Dean...Dean Winchester."

"Ah, Mr. Winchester," Castiel nodded "the newest member of our school. We've been expecting you." He quickly turned around to grab Dean's planner and other enrollment and informational forms. He was about to gather everything together and give it to the alpha when he heard Dean''s 'Y'know...you can call me Dean…' Castiel had barely heard it, but he turned and his eyes locked onto those lush forest eye and he couldn't help the flicker of hope that he hadn't misheard. When Dean said nothing Castiel grabbed the papers he'd pulled out of the cabinet and moved back towards the counter where Dean was still standing. hand proffered, "Castiel…"

Dean grinned happily and shook Castiel's (Castiel? really?) hand. "It's awesome to meet you! I mean really, someone who's finally not gawking at me." Dean laughed good naturedly and Castiel hid a blush, knowing he'd been staring only moments before.

"It's quite nice meeting you as well. There have been many rumors about your arrival."

"Yeah well," Dean swished his tail and smiled sheepishly "I guess Sammy and I are used to it by now." Castiel tilted his head again and Dean realized what he'd said, "Oh! Sam's my little brother, studying to become a lawyer, he's about 18 now, practically raised him myself." Dean swelled with pride as he spoke and Castiel felt his gaze soften. Dean obviously loved his brother and Castiel could relate as he watched Gabe from the corner of his eye. Only when Dean had stopped talking and was staring at him did Castiel realize that he'd been sporting a closed mouth smile. Castiel shook his head and blushed when Dean laughed quietly.

The two stood in a comfortable silence a few more moments but Dean eventually took hold of the papers Castiel had been holding onto and tugged them gingery from Castiel's fingertips. He glanced down, scanning the papers, and sighed. "Guess I gotta...fill these out.."

"I suppose so."

Dean lingered for a few moments, making Castiel's heart flutter. For whatever reason Castiel didn't want Dean to leave yet… But he knew he had too.

"Well then… See you later, Cas"

"Goodbye Dean."

Castiel waved and watched quietly as Dean disappeared down the hallway. Once he was out of sight Cas broke into a wide grin and he ran off to find Charlie and brag about his new nickname.

Cas was barreling down the hall, looking everywhere for the familiar head of bright red hair. He finally spotted her a little ways down the final corridor.

"Charl-" Castiel stopped abruptly, ducking behind a row of lockers when he heard another voice. Charlie was talking to someone. Castiel moved out slightly to peek out, he smelled a light musk of cedar, oak and apples. It was intoxicating and Castiel took a deep breath, inhaling as much of the lovely smell as possible, scenting the air. His eyes fluttered open and he glanced around the corner again, nearly choking on the sickeningly sweet air as he gasped. Charlie was talking to Dean Winchester, and was frankly, being quite friendly about it. Cas strained his ears to hear anything he could.

"Thanks for recommending this school Charlie. It's awesome."

"Yeah well. I try."

Dean simply snorted and eyed her fondly, "Yeah. Well I gotta get to class. See ya later"

He hugged her tightly and she responded in kind.

"Bye bitch!"

Dean laughed and waved a 'Goodbye' over his shoulder. As soon as he was far enough away Castiel ran up to Charlie, gaping at her, "You know him?! And you neglected to tell me?!" he cried in a shrill whisper

Charlie simply wiggled her floppy ears and smiled mischievously, "I dunno. Never came to mind. He's sorta like the older bro I never wanted." she shrugged. "Anywho, gimme your schedule."

Castiel attempted to glare at her for a few more moments before letting out a sigh and gave in, handing his schedule to her.

She clicked her tongue thoughtfully, then taking out a pen she circled his 1st 2nd and 4th periods. "So hes' in these 3 classes with you." she hummed.

Castiel's jaw dropped again. "R-really?!" he squealed.

She laughed as he blushed. "Oh damn you've got it bad for him don't cha?"

"N-no!" he cried, his tail frizzing visibly.

She simply laughed again, "Well have fun with that!" she called running off to whatever class she had first.

Castiel remained frozen in place, blushing furiously. Then, after glancing down at the red ink circling his classes, he turned on his heel and fled down the hall, in order to get prepared for class.
