The red headed boy was hanging out in his usual spot in the courtyard, listening to music as always to pass the time, when his headphones were suddenly ripped off his head. He leaned his head back from his comfortable spot lying on the bench to see a blond head through the light. Of course it was Nathaniel, who else would it be? It seemed the blond would appear whenever Castiel wanted to be left alone. Castiel scowled at the frustrated prez, clearly annoyed to get his music taken away. "What do you want, Mr. President?" Castiel asked, saying the title with heavy sarcasm. The blond just frowned even more, staring down at the redhead.

"Absent yet again, Castiel? You should know better than this, how many times have I told you to get to class?" Nathaniel certainly seemed disappointed in Castiel. If only Nate knew that this was all a part of Castiel's plan. But, of course, Castiel never followed through with it, having second thoughts before he did anything. He had a reputation to uphold, you know?

"How many times have I told you that I don't care?" Castiel asked back, reaching for his headphones before they were taken out of reach, taking Castiel's iPod along with it. "Hey!" Castiel was annoyed now. It didn't matter what cute expressions Nathan made or how attractive he was when he was frustrated. Okay, yeah, it did matter but the issue here is that he took Castiel's music away.

"You can have it back after school, now get to class." With that, Nathaniel walked away from the angered delinquent. Castiel glared at the door that Nathaniel had gone through before getting up with a grumble and doing what he was told to do by going inside and to his class.

With school finally over, Castiel walked into the council room to see it empty for once. Not that he was going to complain; his iPod and headphones were on the table so he grabbed them and started putting them in his bag. He paused when there was a loud click, turning to the door to see Nathaniel leaning against the door, observing Castiel. He seemed to have changed quite a bit in personality, having a calculating but dark look in his eyes. "What?" Castiel snapped. He was still quite mad at the blond. He glared at the blond; even as butterflies went through his stomach at the look he was given. There was a moment of silence.

"Why do you have pictures of me?" Wow, what a blunt and straight to the point question.

"Wh-you went through my iPod?!" Of course Castiel would be angry; it was an invasion of privacy, something he valued over anything else. Nathaniel gave Castiel a blank look.

"No, pictures of me are for both of your wallpapers." Castiel unlocked his iPod and blushed slightly. He could've sworn he had his music up so it wouldn't have shown. "I had to turn the music off so I paused it and exited out of it." He explained, stopping any type of angry outburst that might've started. "Now, explain." Silence ensued as Castiel attempted to think of an excuse.

"Photography." The word came out of his mouth too quick for him to think of something better. After it came out, however, he wanted to slap himself upside the head. Photography? That's the best excuse he could come up with? Maybe we should change this up a bit… "Candy wanted me to take a few pictures of some people and I happened to think that the best pictures I took had you in them." It still sounded like a crap excuse but it was better than having to explain his sudden interest in photography.

"Really? Let me see the others." Castiel immediately went into a mental rant. How the hell did this guy seem to say the right things to see through any excuse that Castiel had?! It made lying absolutely difficult. Little did Castiel know, he really did just want to see the pictures. Nathaniel grabbed the iPod from Castiel's frozen hands and clicked on the photos, starting to go through them. Castiel's face almost immediately started challenging his dyed hair, almost turning a brighter red, as he realized that Nathaniel was actually going through all of his pictures – which were all of either his guitar, music he wanted to play, or of the one that was looking at them. The many different expressions that Nathan makes, the many different things that he does, all of them were candid. Nathan's eyebrow rose as he looked up at Castiel – who was looking pretty reminiscent of a deer caught in headlights. "So, you're supposed to take pictures of everyone?" Nathaniel then took on a new expression, one no one has seen before. Nathaniel, the goody two shoes president, smirked at the embarrassed teen. "Do you want to stick to that story?" Nathan leaned in closer, causing Castiel's eyes to widen and his face to turn redder – if that's even possible – as Nathaniel stopped his face right next to Castiel's, sharing his breathing air and causing Castiel to lean back over the table as he was stopped from backing away. Nathaniel put his hands on the table, surrounding Castiel so that he couldn't get away – unless he decided to jump onto the desk and run away that way. But it didn't occur to Castiel that he could jump over the table; his brain almost literally had a sign that said 'Currently short circuited – will be fixed when Nathaniel is out of sight range'.

"Y-y-yeah." Castiel's voice was almost inaudible to Nathaniel, even though he was so close.

"Hm, isn't that a pity." Nathaniel closed the distance, locking lips with the shocked redhead who almost fainted that moment because of how much blood had rushed to his head. But damn was Nathaniel a good kisser, Castiel was almost aroused from the kiss. Nathaniel broke the kiss to look into the dazed eyes of the school delinquent, the one everyone suspected was in a gang or did a bunch of illegal stuff outside of school, as he looked almost about to faint. Nathaniel wouldn't be surprised if he just dropped to the ground, unconscious. As it was, when Nathaniel pulled away, Castiel fell to his knees when they finally gave out. "Now now, we can't do that quite yet." Castiel's face went even redder as he scrambled to get back on his feet. He avoided looking at Nathaniel as he grabbed his iPod and practically ran out of the Council room embarrassedly; causing other students to look at him weirdly and wonder if that was actually Castiel. Candy waved and started a greeting when Castiel walked right past her, causing her to wonder if she really just saw the Castiel blushing all the way to his ears.

She shrugged and walked to the Council room, noticing how Nathaniel had his hand over his nose. "Hey, Nate, you okay?" Nathaniel jumped and looked over to her, a kind looking expression automatically appearing.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine. Just a nosebleed." He reached out for a tissue, holding it to his nose so it would catch all the falling blood. Candy took in his slight blush, the ruffled hair, and the way his eyes looked and smirked almost immediately as she put two and two together.

"So, did you find out about his obsession?" She asked as she sat on the table happily, eager to converse with him about this.

"That's what you were talking about when you said that Castiel was obsessed with something?" Nate seemed slightly annoyed with Candy but still had this 'not there' look in his eyes.

"Yep! Isn't he just so adorable?" Nathaniel almost died as he remembered the expression Castiel was wearing when he had taken the iPod back and walked out, holding the tissue tighter against his nose as he tilted his head up.

He was so definitely going to get Castiel to admit that he liked him, no matter what.

Yep, I know… popular pairing for Castiel but I asked my friend to give me two guys from My Candy Love and she gave me Castiel and Nathaniel… Though, I can't say I'm a big fan since it's so obvious but whatever… still a good pairing, so don't judge… I didn't mean for Alexy to be in the list of characters in the story so I'll fix that by putting Alexy in the next story…
