Lucas went to Ben's house the next day. The three of them were in Lisa's car, all of them were silent. The only sound was the radio, which was chattering on about some random news outbreak that neither Ben or Lucas cared about.

Lisa pulled into the garage and opened the door. Ben glanced at Lucas's hand and nodded to him. Lucas replied by grabbing Ben's hand. They ran inside, making sure to pass Lisa with full attention on them. Lisa glanced at them, but didn't think much of it.

They got into Ben's room and closed the door. "She didn't react at all." Ben said in a low voice.

"She will later." Lucas chuckled. "You know, if this actually works, you should come by my house next week so we can screw with my mom. She helped get Mr. Winchester fired."

"Let's plan on it then." Ben smirked as they began planning for what would happen later.


The two boys went out to watch a movie not long after. Lisa was preparing supper, but she had full view of Ben and Lucas. They were starting Kung Fu Panda, which was one of Ben's favorite movies. Once the commercial breaks ended, Lucas looked at Ben. Ben nodded to him and wrapped his arm around Lucas, who leaned into his side. Ben had seen the men his mom brought home do this with her, so he figured it must have to with romance somehow.

Lisa was confused by this, and, she had to admit, a little uncomfortable. It was weird to see her son act this way around another boy.

Ben caught a glance of his mom staring at him out of the corner of his eye and smirked. Just to mess with her, he leaned over and kissed the top of Lucas's head.

Lisa could hear her heart pounding in her ears. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. How could Ben be this way? She thought she had raised him right...

She scrambled for the phone and dialed Andea's number. She went out into the garage to talk to her. "Hey Lisa." Andrea said. "How's the play date going?"

"It was fine at first." Lisa said. "Now they're both acting super romantic around each other. I'm afraid they might be 'dating.'"

Andrea was silent at first. "They're kindergarteners, Lisa." She said. "Once they realize this is wrong, they'll stop." She chuckled a little. "Maybe at their graduation parties, we all can have a big laugh about this."

Lisa was skeptical, but sighed. "You're right." She said. "They have no idea what they're doing."

"Exactly." Andrea said. "Now, unless you have a real emergency, I'm busy finishing up at work."

"'Kay, bye." Lisa hung up the phone and walked back inside.


The play date ended after supper and Andrea came to pick Lucas up. Ben kissed Lucas on the cheek before he left and the two moms shared a freaked-out look. Ben went back to his room, a proud smile playing on his lips.

"See what I mean!" Lisa exclaimed after Ben was in Andrea's car.

"We should talk to their teacher." Andrea said. "He's probably doing the same thing Dean is."


The next day, the two moms went in early with their children, both of them walking fast and indicating they were angry. Charlie caught a glance of them in the hallway and prayed Castiel wouldn't get fired.

"Mr. Novak." Lisa thundered, parading into his room.

Castiel looked up from his lesson plan and his shoulders visibly drooped. "Yes, Lisa? And Andrea?"

"What have you been teaching our sons?" Andrea bellowed. "That's it's okay to like the same gender?"

"But it is okay, mom!" Ben exclaimed. "I don't see why it would be a problem if Lucas and I really were dating."

Lisa and Andrea shared a look. "What do you mean?" Lisa asked.

"We were trying to make you both see that it doesn't matter who loves who." Lucas sighed. "We were acting like we were together so we could try and make you accept it."

"So you two aren't really dating?" Andrea asked, trying to keep the relief out of her voice.

"No." Ben scoffed. "Lucas is my best friend, that's all."

The room was silent for a while as the five of them contemplated what to say next. Castiel spoke first. "So, seeing now that your problem is resolved, are you two done here?"

Lisa and Andrea glanced at him and nodded. They said goodbye to their sons and left Castiel's classroom, both looking extremely embarrassed. Lucas and Ben went to go sit down, but Castiel called them back up.

"Are we in trouble, Mr. Novak?" Ben asked timidly.

Castiel scoffed. "No, of course not." He said. "I just wanted to tell you that even if you two were dating; I know, you're both kindergarteners and don't have life figured out yet, but I just wanted to say that you would have my support. Along with all the other teachers here."

Ben and Lucas turned to each other and grinned. Ben grabbed Lucas' hand and squeezed. "Thank you, Mr. Novak." Lucas said. The two of them went back to their seats.

It would still be a little while before the other students would be showing up, so he just sat at his desk while the other two colored. Charlie stopped in a few minutes later and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw he wasn't unconscious.

"What happened?" She asked.

Castiel shrugged. "Not much. Their moms came to confront me on what they were doing and somehow blaming me for it. They stepped up and told them why they were doing it. That's the gist of it."

"I'm so glad you aren't fired." Charlie sprung forward and wrapped her arms around Castiel's shoulders.

"You and me both."

Charlie pulled back when she heard a vibrating noise coming from the desk. It was Castiel's phone.

"Hello?" Castiel asked when he picked it up.

"Cas!" Dean exclaimed. "Guess what!"

"Dean, you know I'm a terrible-"

"We have enough money to buy and repair the garage!" Dean exclaimed. "I was going to wait until tonight, but I was too excited."

"Really? Couldn't tell." Castiel said sarcastically.

"Is Charlie there with you?" Dean asked, choosing to ignore Castiel's previous comment.

"Yeah. Want to talk to her?"

"No, I have to get to work soon. Ask her if she, Jo, and Kevin want to come over for supper tonight."

"I'll be able to make it." Charlie told Dean through the microphone and getting her face uncomfortably close to Castiel's.

"Okay, as Jo and Kevin if they can come." Dean laughed.

"I can do that." Castiel said.

"'Kay. Love you, Cas."

"Love you too, Dean."
