I am so sorry for the delay. I have several projects going on right now and I'm trying to manage them lol.
And, here we go hehe.
Dean took in a deep breath, a wave of calm settling through his body. Sam and his friends had already crawled out of the car but he continued to sit there taking in slow breaths. It was the first day of school and his nerves were wreaking havoc in his body. His fingers closed over the fire stone around his neck, a soft smile gracing his lips. The both of them had decided it would be easier and less distracting if Cas stayed at home for the first couple of days. Then he would join Dean at school for his magic appropriate classes. The teachers were ill equipped to handle a student with a dragon familiar, it still made him laugh when they started to call and confirm that it was in fact real.
He pulled himself from his mother's car, his hand gripping at his backpack a little too tightly. Dean heard a loud whistle and spun around to find his new friends hurrying up to him. His small smile turned bigger as Charlie charged at him, giving him a warm hug. He laughed and went to wrap his arms around her when he found another set of arms hugging him. This time it was Garth. He barked out a laugh as Kevin even joined in.
"Fags! Get a room!" someone called out and this time, Dean didn't even flinch. They could say whatever the hell they wanted, Dean chose to not even acknowledge it. Charlie gave him an extra squeeze and his friends finally pulled away. They chatted excitedly along the way towards their lockers, Dean thanked whoever was listening that he was only about 5 away from Charlie and Kevin. Garth was on the other side but still within talking distance.
"Heads up Dean," Garth called out. Dean's head snapped to his right and swallowed around the nervous lump in his throat. Victor was striding down the hall with a set determination look on his face as he got closer to Dean.
"Hey Dean...how was the rest of your summer," his once best friend asked quietly. Dean only stared at him, his mouth dropping open.
"Um...good? How...how was yours?" Dean asked. Victor shrugged, gave him a half smile before heading further down the hall. Dean watched him go, his heart stammering in his chest a few times. Why was he suddenly being so nice to him? The bell sounded through the hall and Dean shook his head, getting any thought of Victor out of his mind before heading to his homeroom.
Thankfully Garth was in the class with him, both of them weaving through the desks towards the back. Once the final bell rang, the kids in the room glanced at each other with the same question in their minds. Where was the teacher? The blinds suddenly started to close making several kids jump in their seats. The room was darkened and the door near the desk slowly opened.
Dean frowned only to feel his lips raise up into a huge smile when the familiar scruffy face came into view. How could he not say anything about this! Dean wanted to run out of his seat to him but he refrained, his fingers closing around the edge of his desk tightly. Benny smiled at the other kids, his steely blue eyes landing on Dean to give him a subtle wink.
"Hello class, sorry for the theatrics...but my name is Benny Lafitte...I'll be your history teacher for the year," Benny drawled moving to lean up against his desk. Garth sucked in a breath and Dean saw him completely go still in his seat. Some of the other creatures in the room were slowly realizing exactly what Benny was. The old man waited, gauging their reactions to finally figuring it out.
"You're a vampire...aren't you?" one of them asked. A girl who Dean was still trying to figure out what she was. Benny nodded and let his fangs slowly slide out before pulling them back in.
"Yes...any other questions?" Benny asked and everyone's hands shot up into the air. Well...all but Dean of course. He smiled up at his friend and couldn't wait until the end of class to talk to him. The hour went by rather quickly and his classmates groaned loudly when the bell finally rung. Garth tried to hang back with Dean but he just pushed his friend towards the door, too eager to talk to Benny alone.
Once it was just the two of them, Dean attacked the bear of a man, hugging him tightly before the next round of kids found their way in. Benny cooed at him in french pulling away to smile down at him.
"How are you kiddo?" Benny asked patting the side of his face before leaning against the desk again. Dean beamed up at him, shrugging a little as he pulled the strap to his bag higher on his shoulder.
"I'm good. What are you doing here? And how come you never said anything when you came to visit?" Dean asked quickly. Benny grinned, his hand smoothing down his trimmed up beard. Dean took a step back to take in the vampire's neater appearance. Whenever he came to see him, he was always disheveled in his very worn clothes, nearly rags. But now, he had nice dress pants, a crisp white button up the front shirt and his usual pea coat draped over. Dean could still see the suspenders under the coat and it made him smile. He looked like a very high class sailor...and Dean just knew his old fisherman's hat was somewhere in here too, Benny was too fond of that thing.
"Well cher, when I saw ya, I didn't exactly have all the details. They needed a history teacher here and...I applied. They didn't wanna hire me at first because of my...well, because I'm a vamp of course. I didn't want to tell you and have us both be disappointed if they said no. You ok with this?" Benny asked with a little worried frown. Dean smiled brightly and shook his head; Benny grinned and reached up to ruffle his hair.
"Good...go on and get before you're late to your next class. We'll talk later ok darlin?" Benny said a little quieter now that kids were slowly starting to pile in. Dean nodded and gave him a little wave before he hurried out and down the hall towards his next class.
Maybe this year wouldn't be so horrible?
Dean closed his locker with a soft contented sigh, biting his bottom lip as he closed his eyes, leaning his head against the cool metal.
First days of school never, ever went well for him. But this time...it did. Benny was not only his History teacher but was also teaching Astronomy. Dean was pleasantly surprised, he had already come to believe he would hate the class and hope it would be easy to just pass it. Benny made the class so much fun and Dean loved every second of it.
Before that though, Dean had walked into the lunch room expecting to find himself sitting alone when his new friends along with his little brother and his own friend's yanked him into the line. The biggest surprise (even though Dean was convinced it was his familiar's way of showing off), was when Cas landed into the middle of the courtyard with a loud thud. His dragon had grown over the past couple of weeks. Cas's other form had gone from 6 ft to at least 9 now. It was impressive and Dean playfully rolled his eyes at Cas as he shifted back, a bag slung around his shoulder. They all sat together eating and laughing...curious looks constantly finding their way to them. Dean could only find it in him to smile. His face hurt from doing it so much...it wasn't something he was used to.
"Dude, so, if you get any bigger, will Dean be able to ride you?" Ash asked. Cas chewed on his apple and thought for a second before nodding slowly.
"I should grow to be probably...15 feet? So, yes, it is possible," Cas said with a wink, knowing way too well that Dean was horrified with heights.
Dean was sad to see Cas leave at the bell but the gentle kiss he got before he flew off made him blush and feel a tad bit better about it. And now, he was going to go home happy for the first time.
"Hey Dean..." a familiar voice said behind him. He stilled and slowly turned to find Victor smiling a bit sheepishly at him.
"Um...hi," Dean replied cautiously.
"So uh...I was wondering if we could talk? In private?" Victor asked, his eyes sliding to the side. Dean took a quick glance to see not only Sammy but Charlie with their arms crossed staring. He smiled softly and shrugged.
"Maybe some other time. I've gotta get home," Dean said and turned without another word. He joined his friends, hurrying out the door to get home.
Castiel was going stir crazy...he hadn't been apart from Dean for weeks and it was making his skin itch. It wasn't like last time but it still made him feel uneasy. He knew he shouldn't have gone but he couldn't help it, he had to make sure Dean was ok. When he found the vampire there at the school, it surprised him that he actually felt better. Benny would protect Dean if anything happened.
Seeing Dean and feeling that wave of content through their bond was amazing. Dean always had this...tight nervous feeling in the pit of his stomach when it came to anything in his life. Today at lunch had been the first time Castiel hadn't felt it. Whatever caused it, Castiel couldn't complain. As selfish as it may be, Castiel's tummy had fluttered when he felt that warmth of happiness when Dean had seen him. He loved helping his witch feel content...and safe.
Castiel checked the clock on the computer and sighed with relief. The boys would be home soon. He had no idea how many more days he could handle being in the house alone. Anna was off with Mary on a hunt, so the two of them wouldn't even be home for a few days, if not the rest of the week.
He nearly jumped out of the seat when the front door slammed shut. His skin erupted into his animal form out of excitement as he barreled through the door and practically rolled down the steps in a ball.
"Cas! Oh my god you dork!" Sam cried with a loud laugh. Dean was holding his stomach as he guffawed loudly. Castiel blinked up at them and grumbled before slinking around Dean, his tail wrapping around his leg.
"Hey Cas...I missed you too," Dean said, a little giggle here and there as he calmed down. He bent down and hugged around his neck tightly. Castiel purred loudly, nuzzling his face against Dean's to bury into his neck, a happy little grumble vibrating through his chest.
"Dean, I'm gonna go in the study and play Gears of War with Andy," Sam said heading down the hall.
"K, I'll let you know when dinner's here," Dean called after his little brother. Sam just raised up his hand in a small wave and disappeared into the room at the end of the hall. Now that John was officially no longer apart of this family, Mary offered the study to Sam who took it greedily. The MOL books were still there and many of the journals. It was Sam's new hideout and even got Dean to help him move all his game stations into the room.
Cas slowly shifted back and smiled when Dean instantly wrapped around him, a soft sigh brushing along his skin. Castiel pulled him in tighter, his lips tracing up the side of Dean's neck to his ear; kissing the space behind it. He couldn't help the little whine as Dean gently pulled back, their hands closing around each other as his witch led him up the stairs. Castiel was expecting Dean to jump right into his homework or studies but instead he got warm lips pressed to his own, eager hands gripping on his hips.
"I missed you today Cas," Dean whispered, his mouth devouring his soft moan. Cas smoothed his hands up Dean's arms and wrapped around his neck to press their bodies flush together.
"Dean..." Castiel sighed, a high pitched yelp flying out of his mouth as Dean picked him up, plopping them both down on the bed. He laughed, his fingers tracing the freckles on Dean's cheeks as his witch grinned down at him.
"Cas...can...can I ask you a question?" Dean stammered, his cheeks flaming under Castiel's finger tips.
"Of course...what is it Dean?" Cas replied leaning up to give him a soft kiss. Dean chased after him, both of them sighing at the little nibble on Cas's bottom lip. His hands made their way down Dean's broadening chest down to a slim waist, tugging on his pants to get his body to press against his own.
"You...you said you were...a breeder...what, exactly does that mean?" Dean asked, swallowing so hard Castiel could hear the click. This time he couldn't escape the blush that so often could be found on his witch.
He licked his lips and tried to think of the best way to explain it, "Well...usually in herds, when the breeders go into a heat the Alphas...help them through it until they catch with young," Castiel said. He saw Dean's eyes widen slowly and Castiel quickly covered his mouth with a few fingers to silence the next question he knew was coming.
"No...I've never been with anyone else. I've had a few heats but was not interested in mating...I wanted to wait until I found someone who I could...soul bond with. It's basically claiming to mate for life with that dragon or well...person," Castiel said and bit his lip, his eyes moving to the side. He was hoping this conversation would have come much later but...he knew without a doubt he wanted this with Dean. This beautiful shy boy was his true mate...whether he be human or dragon Castiel didn't care.
A warm hand touched the side of his face to make him look into Dean's shining green eyes; he leaned down and brushed their lips together almost teasingly. It made Castiel shiver, his fingers clinging into the back of Dean's dark blue henley. The flannel Dean wore over it was pushed down his arms and tossed aside, Cas's hands swooping down his back to dig into the material of his shirt once again.
"What else Cas?" Dean whispered, his tongue licking at the seam of Cas's lips daringly. Castiel moaned and flicked his own out, gasping when Dean surged forward, their tongues devouring each others mouth. Dean settled his hips along Castiel's and both let out a muffled moan; the witch's body lowering until they were pressed together in one long line. Dean's arms cradled his head and Castiel's legs naturally wrapped around his waist.
"Tell me Cas?" Dean groaned, his hips thrusting slowly against Castiel's. The familiar could barely form a thought or catch a breath past the heady moans leaving his mouth.
"I-If I were to find a true mate...and we chose to have children...I'd be able to carry them," Castiel whimpered, his teeth gnawing on his bottom lip to keep from crying out. Dean smiled warmly, nibbling his way along his jaw.
"So I would get to make love to you?" Dean whispered into his ear and Castiel did cry out, his hips jerking up hard, getting a guttural moan in response. They clung together as they rutted but it wasn't enough. Hands were fumbling with belts and buttons until they were blissfully naked, every inch of hot flesh pressing feverishly along the other. Ever since their relationship had become sexual...Dean had been getting more and more comfortable and actually initiating things.
"Y-Yes...Dean...w-would you want too?" Castiel panted, his back arching off the bed when Dean grabbed up their cocks tightly in his hand, creating a slow torturous rhythm. Dean kissed and sucked at his neck, teeth very gently grazing his skin.
"More than anything Castiel," Dean moaned sucking hard on his ear lobe. Castiel came with a cry of his witch's name, his cum coating Dean's fingers. It took a few breaths but he finally had enough coherence to reach down and take Dean's cock into his hand. Dean moaned loudly and rutted into his fist, his face pressing firmly into his shoulder.
"Soon Dean," he said and Dean shuddered, his hips jerking almost roughly as he orgasmed, soft whimpers muffled along his skin. They clung to each other as their breathing slowly returned to normal and Dean gently rolled off and onto his side, keeping their bodies close. Cas smiled and reached over to grab up his shirt to clean up their chests and stomachs.
"Did you mean it Cas?" Dean asked almost shyly. It was so endearing how bashful Dean would get every time they had sex. Castiel bit his lip and nodded, his fingers carding through Dean's hair. He crawled closer until his head was resting on Castiel's chest.
"Dean...I know we are both still very young...but...I know what I'm feeling is real. I want you to be my mate...for life," Castiel said a little hesitantly. It took only a second for him to almost start regretting it when Dean rose up, staring down at him. Castiel was confused when he saw the terror there in those green eyes and it broke his heart when he truly realized why.
"You...you want me? But I'm..."
"I know exactly who you are Dean Winchester...you not only saved my life but brought me back. No one else could have done that. You are so strong, brave, smart, funny...truly amazing. I love you," Castiel said cupping the side of Dean's face. Tears filled those beautiful eyes, a few them slowly spilling over.
"Cas..." Dean gasped out, swallowing hard against the knot in his throat, "I love you too and...I would be honored to be your mate."
Castiel beamed up at him, leaning in to kiss him hungrily. Dean reached down to yank the blanket over their cooling bodies, arms and legs tangling as they cuddled close.
"So did you hear about that chick Meg?" Andy asked. Sam glanced over at his second monitor and frowned at his friend. They were on a video chat as they got the game set up, Jess would be joining later once her chores were done.
"No?" Sam replied feigning innocence easily. His friend may be the dorkiest kid in his grade but somehow, he always had the latest gossip. And if he knew anything about Meg, Sam had to know about it. Andy wiped at his face and settled back in his chair.
"She dropped out of school...something happened to her family but no one knows exactly what. But I heard that it's just her now...even her little sister is gone," Andy said quietly. Sam froze and held his breath. Meg...a girl who had always been strong willed and cocky...cherished her little sister. And now she was a demon and her entire family was missing? Something was definitely not adding up.
He wanted to ask more about what Andy knew but the notification for Jess requesting to join popped up on his screen. Chewing on his lip he clicked ok, forcing a smile at his friend. He would just have to wait until later to talk with Andy about Meg. He doubted he even knew that much but Sam had no idea who Meg even hung out with...Andy always paid attention to things like that.
"Alright boys, ready to get your butts kicked again?" Jess grinned pulling her long blond hair up into a pony tail. Sam sighed softly, burying the thoughts of Meg deep down.
