Cas woke up the next morning with a pounding head and an upset stomach, but today was a new day. Cas knew what he was going to do and the first thing was going to see the Dr. Frank Devereaux. Shortly after getting dressed and ready, he stood in front of a two story brick house, painted white, with an awful green color trim. It looked like it was built around the 50's. Well let's get this new life started. He walked in the front door and over to a large desk that set in the center of the very small waiting room, where a pretty redhead sat reading Harry Potter. Cas let out a small chuckle and she looked up from the book. "I'm here to see Dr. Devereaux." He said to her in the most charming voice he had.

"Can I let him know who's here?" she asked taking in the stranger's appearance.

"Castiel Novak." Cas watched as the redheads face lit up with a smile.

"You're Dr. Novak?" She asked in a shocked tone. "I'm sorry. We weren't expecting you until Monday. But it's nice to meet you I'm Charlie. I'm the secretary. Jess is the nurse but she in the back come on and I'll take you to Frank." she stood taking in the new doctor's appearance. Cas stood there in a tailored black pinstripe suit. He tried to tame his mess of hair this morning but hadn't seceded very well so it still looked like he had just gotten out of bed. She led him up the stairs at the back of the house and up to the second story. "Frank is in his office. We have two so I guess this will be yours until Frank retires in a few months." She said opening the first door to the right. Cas looked in to see a simple room with a desk sitting in the middle with two chairs in front of it and a few bookshelves around the room bushed back against the wall. Some he could see contained old medical books. "This is franks office" she said leaving Cas to walk over to the next door and knocked on it. "Hey Frank Castiel Novak is here early." She stepped aside and let Cas in the room.

"Hello sir. I hope I'm not imposing by coming in early" Cas said stretching his arm toward the older man in greeting.

"Naw son its fine. We only have a few people coming in today so it'll be great we can get you used to the ropes." Frank stood shaking Cas hand, firmly. Cas looked at the older man standing in front of him. He looked maybe in his late sixties with thick rimmed glasses and very grey neat hair. He was wearing a white button down unbuttoned showing off the white undershirt tucked into dark blue jeans.

Cas spent the rest of his day getting to know his new coworkers. He truly liked Charlie she was a spirited girl with a personality as bright as her hair. She was like the female version of Ash. She was a mastermind with computers. He meets Jess, Jessica Moore, later that day she was sweet and friendly. She seemed kinda shy but Cas liked her too. Frank was so far from what Cas was expecting, he was slightly paranoid of the government. He was extremely good with technology considering his age, and even told Cas that he self diagnosed himself with "bipolar with delusional ideations." Cas was looking forward to the next day now. He could do this. Dean who?


Dean sat on the edge of the bed running his fingers through his hair. He got up and jumped in the shower. He knew that last night needed to be forgotten, so that's what he did. He got up and got ready for work. He walked down stairs to find Sam sitting with Lisa and Ben at the table. "Morning love" he said kissing Lisa. He tried to pretend he couldn't tell the difference between her and Cas. The only reason that the kiss with Cas was so explosive was because it was forbidden that it not because he cared more about Cas than Lisa. She is your wife and you love her. Cas was an experiment ten years ago. You loved your wife, he told himself.

"Good morning Baby. I didn't hear you come in last night. Did you have fun at the roadhouse?" Lisa asked. She wasn't sure why Dean's old friend returning affected him so much but it did. So she gave him his space. She had learned many years ago that Cas was a subject that she didn't talk about. She thought back to the first year they were together after high school. Dean never talked about their senior year and Lisa always thought that it was because of her betrayal.

They had moved in together a few months ago and it was great. Dean treated Ben like he was his and they never talked about his real father. He was just some guy in Valdosta with a leather jacket and a couple of scars. She was doing laundry one day and found deans wallet in a pair of jeans. She looked inside to find a few pictures of her and Ben, She noticed the worn corner of a piece of paper so she was curious so she pulled it out to and it was a picture of Dean and Cas. She knew they were at Cas's and it looked like pictures from their senior Prom. Dean looked beyond happy. He was smiling the biggest brightest smile she had ever seen on the man and even in the old picture she seen a small light in his eyes. She never knew this man. Cas looked just as happy and he seemed to elbowing Dean in the side looking up at the taller boy. She slid the picture back and finished with the clothes. Later that night she was lying beside Dean in bed and couldn't help herself. "Do you ever talk to Cas?" She watched Dean as his faint smile disappeared and a hurt angry glow grew in his eyes. He looked at her like she had just slapped him.

"No I haven't. Not since before he left." That was all that he said. Then he rolled away from Lisa and ignored her for the rest of the night. She realized then that she shouldn't talk about Cas. Dean woke up the next morning still in a bad mood and didn't speak to Lisa before he went to work. She never made that mistake again.

Lisa was brought back to the present by Sam asking what she was to scared to. "Jo said that Cas was there last night did you see him?"

"Yeah Sammy I saw him."

"Did you give him another reason to leave you with a black eye?"

"Shut up Sam" Dean threatened. He wasn't up for dealing with his brother today.

"I meant to ask you where the black eye came from last night. Cas hit you?" Lisa knew she shouldn't but she was dying to know and Sam had brought up Cas so she couldn't be blamed for curiosity.

"Yeah baby we had a small disagreement."—

-"A small disagreement is that what we are calling that?"

Dean could feel his anger bubbling up. He needed to calm down he knew that but Sam was pissing him off. "Yes Sam that's what it was. A… Small… Disagreement…" He turned his attention to Ben for a minute "Be good today son. I'll see you tonight" he said ruffling Ben's hair, causing the teenager to grumble and start fussing with his hair. Dean smiled at his walked over to Lisa and gave her another chaste kiss "have a good day, baby." He turned and walked out.

Work was completely uneventful. He sat at a speed trap on the edge of town. He hated being in this damn car but Jody did the last one and his Dad, the sheriff, refused to do them, so it was his turn. He sat in the same place for hours before the boredom got the best of him. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet. Inside of it he tugged on the worn corner of the photo. In his 32 years this was by far his favorite picture ever. This wasn't the first time he has pulled out the faded picture. For a long time after Cas left he pulled it out every day, sometimes multiple times a day. He looked down at the Cas he knew, his overly confident best friend. Dean might have been the king of Colby High but Cas was the King of York Prep. He thought back to the first time Castiel became Cas.

Jo had talked Castile into coming to the first practice. She was a cheerleader, along with Lisa, so she practiced on the side of the football field, where Dean practiced. It became routine for Cas, Sam and Ash to follow them to practice. One day Lisa was out, Ash took a very sick Jo home, and Sam had to stay after in the library. So it was just Dean and Cas. "You still coming to practice Cas?" Dean asked.

"Yeah… you called me Cas?" Cas said with a small frown.

"Yeah is that a problem? I mean Castiel is kinda a mouthful and I kinda shortened it a few days ago talking to Jo and Sammy." Dean said a little worried. He loosened up when he saw a smile grow on Cas's face.

"No one's ever given me a nickname before. I had friends in New York but I think they were maybe too scared to be that casual with me." Cas said feeling a little awkward.

"Scared? Jesus Cas what are you part of the mob or something?" Dean said with a small chuckle then dropping his face into a serious frown. "Cas were you a bully?" Dean watched a Cas's face lit up with laughter.

"Dean. You do realize… that you asked that like being… a high school bully… was so much… worse than being part… of a mafia." He was laughing so hard by now that he could barely breathe. "No… Dean I was neither… I was their king, much like you are, but with more power. I could make you or ruined you just as easily as just saying how I felt about you. I even had a small amount of power over the teachers. And I was only a junior then." Dean looked at Cas for moment watching his face change. His laughing had calmed and face had fallen some. Until he looked up at a smiling Dean, Dean watched as a sweet small smile crept back on to the pretty boy's face. "Thank you Dean."

Dean sighed and placed the picture back in his wallet and decided that he had been there long enough. After calling into his Dad, he drove away from the spot in the horrible cruiser that he absolutely hated, only because he couldn't use his baby.
