The Winchester's house was nestled in the far north edge of town. Two storeys tall, a gray slanted roof, walls painted a bright white, and many spacious windows all over to complete the simple and quaint look of the house. There was also a spacious backyard with an ancient weeping willow tree that sits in the middle of the yard. Everything was covered in a light dusting of snow, making the frost covered grass almost crunch beneath their feet.

Dean opened the front door and threw his bag onto the nearest empty chair. Sam did the same but instead of throwing it, he gently set it down. This is one of the differences between the two of them. They both strode into the kitchen, seeing Mary leaning up against the counter with a cup of coffee, still steaming, in her hand. She saw them and smiled lovingly at them, "How was school?"

Both of them glanced at each other, wondering which one will go first. After a period of silence, Sam did, "It was alright. I have a history test tomorrow so I'm going to go study." He turned around to grab his bag and strode over to Mary, kissing her on the cheek before pounding up the stairs. It wasn't until they heard the sound of Sam's door shutting that Dean and Mary looked at each other.

"And what about you?" She smiled at him, trying to coax him into saying something. But Dean just shrugged, not really wanting to talk at all. Even though he knows that his mom likes it when he talks. Hell, she even said so herself; but he still didn't like talking in general.

Her smile turned slightly sad, "Come on, there has to be something! Test? New student?" Since Dean knew he wouldn't be able to not utter a word forever, he inhaled a breath and braced himself.

"W-well-ell, u-ummmm, I-I have a-a c-chemis-try test on F-Fri-day." He didn't really, Dean just didn't want to tell his mother about Cas. It made him feel shameful that Mary would probably be ecstatic about her oldest son finally having a friend. How pathetic is that? Mary knew all too well about how Dean was and still is bullied in school. She of course, like a good parent, told the principal of Lawrence High that people were making Dean's life a nightmare, but school are schools and they did nothing about it.

John, on the other hand, being the fantastic person he is...thought that kids were just being kids. He also told Dean that he should just suck it up and eventually they'll leave him alone. This lead to a mildly heated discussion between the two, resulting Dean to storm off into his room and John going to the bar. Mary was at work that day and Sam was at his friend Kevin's house, so she wasn't pleased when she got home to find her husband gone and her son in his room.

"Okay. Make sure you study, love you." She walked off after giving Dean a kiss on the cheek and went to do some laundry.

Dean went upstairs to his room and sat on his bed after locking his door. Being bored, he pulled out a pad of paper and a pen and started to write. Dean had a soft spot for stories. He liked the idea of creating anything you wanted and it's entirely up to you. No one knew obviously that he did this, it was more of a secret hobby.

After writing for an hour or so, Dean laid on his bed and stared at the ceiling. He thought about how different today was. He was internally glad that he now has someone to finally talk to at school. Cas seemed pretty nice so far, albeit a bit weird. But isn't everyone? Dean also appreciated the fact that Cas listened to him, and didn't ignore him because he couldn't form words properly.

Dean also thought that Cas was pretty attractive, with his messed up black hair and the bluest eyes he had ever seen. Dean pretty much always knew that he found both girls and guys attractive. Admittedly guys the most, so thinking a guy (and on top of that, someone he just met) was hot didn't surprise him.

His dad though didn't take it too lightly though when Dean told his parents that he liked girls and guys. Mary was fine with it (she actually knew already), but John didn't like the fact that his son could be seen with a male just as easily as he could be seen with a female. So John didn't talk to him for a while...and after some convincing from Mary, he grudgingly accepted it.

Sam wasn't amazed either. Being as close to his brother as he is, he knew pretty well. But in the back of his mind, he worried that his older brother would probably be picked on the fact that he was bisexual as well as having a stutter. The people who go to Lawrence High aren't the most accepting of students, as you probably know by now. But then he knows that Dean is strong and in a year, Sam will be there too to make sure that no one hurts him.

In fact, Sam was sort of afraid that he'd be in the same situation too if people found out that he was bi as well. He had told Dean about a few months ago, after being scared to death that their dad would be furious with him as he was with Dean. But after some brotherly and affectionate words, Sam became more comfortable about his sexuality and knew that he had no control over it.

Dean's head feels lighter and he feels happier at the fact that know that he has a friend and someone other than family to talk to, that school won't be as much of a hellhole as it used to be.

Sorry for the wait! I went to this writing thing in school today and it was really helpful. I took notes and plan to use them in making this story better! Also, I have a bunch of work to do for school this week before Christmas...so I'm sorry if the next update isn't for a bit. I did get one really helpful suggestion for the plot of this story, so now I think I know what to do. Feedback is greatly welcome! :)
