"Dear me, Cassie," Lucy said as she looked at the wound, "Are you okay?"

"I'm alright, Mom." Castiel replied, shocked when she hugged him close to her.

"Good." She breathed, "Oh, your father's picking up KFC for dinner on his way home from work so you'd better take a shower now. He'll be home soon."

"Okay." Castiel said, rushing upstairs to be met by his sister, Anna.

"Poor you." She said softly, kissing Castiel's forehead, "Does it hurt?"

"Not much." Castiel answered, "I'm okay thanks."

Anna smiled sweetly, ruffling her baby brother's hair (much to his disgust) before heading downstairs.

"Hey!" Castiel cried as Gabriel threw a pillow at his head, "Cut it out, Gabriel!"

"Cool it, Cassie." Gabriel chuckled, "How's your boyfriend then?"

"Who?" Castiel asked, turning his attention back to his book.

"Dean."

"Dean isn't my boyfriend." Castiel stated.

"You want him to be." Gabriel countered, "We all know it."

"Gabriel, leave your brother alone." Michael said as he sat by Castiel, putting his arm around his son, "How's your arm?"

"Oh my God," Castiel said with exasperation, "It's just a cut!"

With that he got up and stormed out.

"That was your fault." Michael said, turning to Gabriel, "You can't leave him alone can you?"

"My fault?" Gabriel asked, "You asked him about his arm! He's fed up of that!"

"You're impossible," Michael growled, "Simply impossible."

Gabriel huffed and headed upstairs. He knocked on Castiel's bedroom door gently, hearing sobs from inside. Oh God, was Castiel that upset?

"Cassie?"

"Go away!"

Gabriel opened the door regardless and headed inside.

"What's the matter?" Gabriel asked, sitting on the bed beside his brother.

Castiel just turned and buried his face in Gabriel's neck, his older brother wrapping gentle arms around him.

"Oh, Cas…" Gabriel whispered as Castiel began to sob heavily, "What's wrong, buddy?"

"I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"Crying," Castiel replied, "I'm just so tired…and fed up with everyone asking me about my arm, it's just a cut."

"Sorry, Cas…we're just worried…"

"I know."

Castiel entered the living room in his house and ran his fingers over the piano. Checking that no-one was around, he sat at the instrument, beginning to play Amazing Grace. Anna stood in the doorway and listened as Castiel played, savouring each time he did because Gabriel would often ruin it and tell him to stop making a racket. Anyone (except Gabriel) would tell you that no-one played the piano quiet like Castiel did. He felt every note, every chord and every piece, moving with them as he played. If he played a piece which he felt incredibly strongly about, he'd even cry as he played. To say he'd been playing since he was six, he wasn't half bad. He smiled when he heard Anna beginning to sing with the piece, moving to sit beside him on the long piano stool, playing the occasional improvised part on the higher keys. He joined in with the singing and the siblings played the song beautifully.

Michael and Lucy stood at the door with proud smiles on their faces as their children played stunningly, both their voices fitting together like pieces in a jigsaw. When the piece ended, Anna kissed Castiel's cheek.

"Keep playing like that, baby bro…you could be a famous pianist one day."

"More like a famous penis." Gabriel chuckled as he entered the room, Michael scowling at his song before he and Lucy left.

"Gabriel!" Anna yelled, "Stop it! Just because you can't play like that, it doesn't mean you can destroy Cassie's dreams, you asshole!"

"Language, Anna!" Michael scolded from the kitchen, Anna apologising before taking Castiel's hand, "Come on, honey."

Dean and Castiel walked down the street as they went to pick up Sam from Sarah's house. They were so attached that everyone just knew they were gonna get together when they were older.

"Dean…" Castiel began, "Anna thinks I could be famous one day…'cause of my piano playing and stuff."

"You will be." Dean said, "You're awesome on a piano."

Castiel smiled and blushed a little.

"You really think so?"

"Yeah. I know it." Dean replied, "You're amazing…in every way."

"So are you." Castiel said sweetly, the smile on his face sending a jolt through Dean's body.

Dean loved that smile. Loved it more than anything.

"Dean!" Sam called as he saw his brother coming down the street, "Cas!"

"Hey, Sam!" Castiel replied.

"Hi, Sammy-Boy!" Dean called with a laugh, "Did you have a good time?"

"Yeah, we had a water fight!" Sam exclaimed, turning and waving to Sarah, "Bye, Sarah!"

"Bye, Sammy!" Sarah called back, "See you on Monday!"

Sam waved again and set off walking with the two older boys.

Dean and Castiel shared tender looks on the way home, both of them getting jolts through their bodies as they looked at each other.

Castiel wanted Dean, and Dean wanted Castiel…they just didn't realise it yet.
