John took a step forward with his hand still extended, "Aren't you glad to see me?"

Dean fought the urge to run and tried his best to look relaxed by leaning against the light post and returning a smile, "Sure dad."

John had venom bubbling just below the surface. Dean was supposed to stay put, do as John told him, watch Sam and not get cozy with strangers. Dean was supposed to do a lot of things but it seemed he couldn't be trusted anymore.

John figured it had something to do with presenting as Omega. Everyone knew they were inferior when it came to making the right decisions. An Omega needed someone to keep him in his place.

The Hunter fought the urge to slap down his bitch of a son for disobeying orders. Play nice and soon enough Felix will have a big fish on the line. Dean would be gone and John wouldn't have to hear the bullshit other Hunters said about him fathering an Omega. He swore if one more broke ass loser offered him peanuts for Dean there was going to be some hurt coming down.

Dean cast his eyes toward the pavement avoiding that hard gaze his dad couldn't disguise with a smile, "It was my idea to leave the motel. We were running out of money and I didn't know how to get a hold of you. I'm sorry and…"

John interrupted, "Dean let's talk about all that someplace a little less public and a whole lot warmer."

…..

Castiel zipped up his black parka and slung the messenger bag over his shoulder. Looking around the classroom one more time he shut off the lights and exited the high school.

The bench was empty where Sam usually waited for them then Castiel remembered Sam was staying at the Alfie's house tonight to work on a science project.

Dean was missing as well. The teacher spotted Sam dashing across the parking lot and waved to the boy. When Sam breezed past Castiel saw his target. There was a stranger standing with Dean.

…..

John kept his eye on the doors to the high school and when Castiel Novak stepped outside under the flood lights at the entrance the Hunter was struck with how young he looked.

He grabbed Dean in a hug before the teen knew it was coming, "I'll be in town for a bit. I'll see you later." John vanished into the shadows and the rumble of the Impala was heard shortly after.

…

Castiel didn't realize he was growling under his breath. Instinct kicked in and the teacher's possessiveness and anger over a stranger touching Dean had made him lose all reason.

"You bastard I'm going to rip your fucking dick off." He took off running but the stranger seemed to melt into the shadows like a ghost. Sam was already there talking to his brother. Castiel grabbed Dean by the shoulders, "Where did he go? I'll take care of him."

Dean looked absolutely confused and anxious from the encounter. His dad wasn't acting like dad and the teen wasn't sure why he left suddenly. John also didn't mention the distinct scent of Omega clinging to Dean.

Not talking to anyone in particular Dean whispered, "Dad was nice."

Castiel kissed him and the Omega came to his senses, "Cas?"

"Come on boys, let's go home."

….

Spencer watched Dean pick at his plate of food and frowned at the Omega, "Eat, its free food and it tastes good. Meals don't fall from Heaven you know."

Dean stuck a piece of chicken in his mouth and chewed as he thought about the encounter with John. Scotty watched Dean chew, a hopeful look on his face waiting to hear how the food tasted.

Dean smiled at the gorgeous Omega, "It's great. You're cooking is like a professional now."

Spencer took his wife's hand, "We have an announcement to make. Scotty is pregnant."

Scotty added, "We think it happened when Spencer was giving me a sound pound on top the table Castiel makes bird houses on."

Castiel did a spit take over Dean's plate, "What?! But you're in your twilight years."

"Damn it Cas I'm only forty five."

Dean said he thought someone that old would shoot blanks and he was pretty impressed Spencer got his nineteen year old wife knocked up. Spencer called Dean a smartass and he should shut his damn pie hole and eat his dinner.

Castiel said he'd have to bleach his work table or burn it.

Eventually Cas and Dean got around to congratulating them.

…

After dinner there was discussion about John Winchester. Dean went over the details of his brief encounter with his dad. Castiel didn't want the man anywhere near Dean.

Dean spoke up. After all it was his life they were talking about. "If you cut my dad out of things he's going to get pissed. I know him. Dad needs to be in control and if you tell him what to do it'll turn out bad. Maybe he decided to be nice and figures he won't have to worry about us if we stay here."

Spencer nodded in agreement with Dean. "I say if the man wants to come over and have dinner with us then we should be welcoming. Castiel, try to get along with the man no matter how you feel. Just like in business sometimes you have to plaster on a smile and try your best to play nice."

…

John took a corner table with his back to the wall watching for Felix. The hawkish man entered the Hunter bar and wove his way through the mostly male crowd in search of his client. The men there made the hair on the back of his neck stand up. These were all Alphas in their most feral version.

They were hard living Hunters that had taken down all sorts of big, bad monsters then doctored the mental and physical aftermath with an over indulgence in booze, gambling, sex and fighting.

Felix knew all about it. He had dealt with every sort imaginable and nothing shocked him any longer. Spotting John Winchester he navigated over and sat across from the man.

"Good news, I've narrowed it down to two buyers, both stateside. I'm negotiating for the best possible price. Have you met with your son?"

"Yeah, briefly at his high school but don't worry, I didn't tip my hand. He has to be treated carefully. Omega or not Dean is able to bolt and if he wanted to hide it would be fucking hard to find him again." John swirled the whisky in his glass watching the amber liquid.

"Having second thoughts?"

"No…I'm pretty sure Dean has an Alpha but I need to get him alone to confirm it. There is a school teacher called Castiel Novak. He was the one that took the boys from the motel and back to his dad's house."

"Have they had sex? If the Omega isn't a virgin it changes things. It devalues Dean and his only saving graces would be looks and age. I'd have to tell both interested parties and see if they still want to bid on him otherwise I'll have to go back through my client list and see which ones aren't so particular."

John like most Alphas knew little about the secrets of Omega anatomy, "So lie about it. How the hell would they know?"

A brandy old fashioned was set in front of Felix, his drink of choice. He had become a bit of a staple around the bar. Hunters would find Omegas here and there during a job and if no one claimed them Felix found buyers. Not all of them did this but it happened more often than not.

"A simple medical exam of course, a female has a hymen that can be torn in many ways and they might not even realize it. Omega hymens are tough and need to be broken through. It happens during intercourse and can be quite painful for them the first time. If Dean was penetrated then it's torn. Find out for me for sure and I'll see what the two parties are willing to offer. He's still a real beauty."

"Jesus, I could have had this over with already. If I would have known it was this much trouble I would have sold him to a breeder and be done with it. Maybe I could just use Dean as bait when I go on a hunt. Omegas attract attention even of the supernatural kind. Or I could always trick him out." John downed his drink and waved for another. "I can't stick around here forever."

Felix surprised John by slamming a fist on the table, "Are you in or out? I don't want to waste my fucking time while you decide what to do and neither will my clients."

John then realized this was the big leagues and he had to make a hard decision, "I'll get him alone and find out."

"When?"

"Next couple days."

….

Dean slid over the side of the bed and did a cat crawl toward Castiel yanking off the Alpha's towel hung loosely around his waist. The teacher laughed and backed against the closet door, "Hey you little pervert, what are you doing?"

Dean rolled his big green eyes up toward his lover, "I wanna play…suck you."

Castiel wove his fingers through the sandy blonde hair and pulled the Omega's head back, "Alright Kitten, lick it. I've got a lot of milk for you to drink down." Before he let Dean's hair go Castiel ran a thumb across his young lover's generous lips, "I bet you're going to suck me real good with that pretty mouth of yours."

He gave his man a smile that belied his youth, "So good daddy…so good for you."

Castiel still wasn't sure about Dean calling him daddy. He hesitated before answering then decided to just go with it, "Make daddy happy."

Considering the little practice Dean actually had at performing oral the boy had Cas bucking and moaning like a whore in a minute flat. The Alpha cried out "Dean!" as he shot his load down the Omega's gullet then slid down the door on his ass, panting like a dog in July.

"Oh my fucking god…Dean I love you."

Dean nestled between his open legs and kissed his stubbly jaw, "I love you too. So it's ok to call you daddy, because I sorta like it."

Castiel's head lolled to the side, eyes closed as his breathing slowed, "I'm your daddy…I'm anything you want me to be."

The Omega pressed tighter against his lover and gave a contented sigh, "Just be mine."

Cas snagged his dirty jeans from a pile of clothes sitting next to them and fished around in the pocket then pulled something out. He took Dean's left hand and put an adjustable metal ring on his ring finger with a blue fake gemstone in a crooked faux gold setting.

"Here…until I get you your tattoo then a real ring on your finger."

Dean held his hand out and chuckled at the wonky looking ring, "Where did you get this?"

"From one of those trinket machines at a gas station on our way back Sunday. Sorry it will have to do for now. My main concern is getting us legally bound together and putting that tattoo ring on your finger so everyone knows one hundred percent you belong to me and no one else."

Dean tilted his head back and looked at his Alpha, "When?"

"I was thinking of taking Friday off of work and pulling you out of school so we could go to the courthouse and get this rolling. The sooner the better."

Dean's stomach felt weird. Maybe it was a combination of supper and semen but either way he bolted for the bathroom and puked up a vile looking concoction. He dry heaved until his muscles hurt and once his belly was empty he felt better.

Castiel was right there to hand him a damp washcloth. "I suppose chicken and jizz don't mix. Sorry about that honey." He helped Dean to his feet and kissed him. Dean drew back in disgust, "I just barfed don't kiss me! I'll brush my teeth first."

"Dean I would kiss you puke breath or not but I prefer not." He patted his Omega on the fanny, "Brush 'em then come back to bed and I'll doing something fun for you."

Dean flashed his cheesy ring, "Gosh first this big rock and now you're gonna do something fun to me? I'm like a king or something."

"You are Queen Dean, I'm King Cas," He winked a blue eye at his teen dream and left with a wiggle in his walk.

….

School was blessedly uneventful. No fights or detention for Dean and Castiel flew under the radar of the principle. By lunchtime a surprise snowstorm kicked up. December was upon them and the fat fluffy flakes piling up outside brought an excitement to the students thinking about holiday break while teachers and staff wondered how they were going to get home safely.

The huge lunchroom was packed. At the teachers area Castiel sat with Benny and a few others. Benny watched with amusement as Cas unpacked his lunch. Scotty had graduated him from paper bags to a lunch tote. The young teacher took out a thermos, sandwich and a banana.

Cas looked inside again, "No chips or pudding cup…what the hell Scotty." He pulled out a note the Omega had left him.

Benny snatched the note away and read it out loud, "Have a good day at school."

Cas took it back and stuffed it in his pocket, "Worry about your own lunch."

"Novak you got the life. You even get soup."

The doors to the cafeteria swung open and in walked Javi dressed in tight black jeans, black suede boots and a fitted down jacket in black with sparkles dotted around the material. His long black hair was done in intricate braiding intertwining together in back with a band of turquoise on the end. His earrings and nose piercing were done in sleeping beauty turquoise.

Behind him was his chauffeur and bodyguard Hugo, a massive Alpha with a serious expression always on the lookout for danger.

The loud conversations were now down to a buzz as the students wondered who these people were. Almost every Alpha in the lunchroom had his tongue hanging out as the exotic little Omega sashayed past the tables. Javi plopped down on Benny's lap and gave him a kiss.

"I haven't seen you in ages fuzzy bear."

Benny wrapped his arms around his sweetie proud to have such a looker, "It's Tuesday, I dropped you off at home on Sunday. Anyway why is Lurch driving you around in this storm?"

The Omega pulled up his jacket exposing his flat, tan abdomen complete with belly button ring, "I think I'm pregnant, look how fat I'm getting."

Castiel snorted tomato soup up his nose and started coughing. Benny glared at his friend just daring him to laugh.

"Princess there is no way in hell you could know that. I just popped your cherry this weekend, even if you were its too soon to know that."

Javi folded his arms and a pout form on his pretty mouth, "An Omega knows these things. I hope you're going to do the right thing by me and the baby."

Benny brushed a kiss on the young man's neck, "If you're preggers we can up the wedding and if you're not then I'll still marry you but we can plan it. I want you looking pretty as a peach on your wedding day."

Castiel was happy for them but glad he wasn't in Benny's position. Babies took time and money and both were in short supply for the teacher. He pushed his banana over to Javi, "Here you go. Since you're eating for two have a healthy snack."

Benny stuck his tongue out at his friend. "I can feed my own princess thank you."

Javi peeled the banana and delicately bit the tip off then licked his lips. Even eating a piece of fruit became an event when Javi was involved.

A group of Alpha seniors took a stroll near the teachers table to get a better look at Javi. Hugo growled at group and the boys took off.

…..

Dean sat in the back of the classroom waiting for Castiel to pack up his messenger bag and they could head home. The Omega liked to observe Cas in his natural environment, school. The Alpha mumbled to himself as he went over some papers then gave that little frown to nothing in particular and stuffed a folder in his bag.

Cas heard chuckling from the peanut gallery, "What's so funny?"

"You…I like watching you do stuff because you act so cute and don't even know it." Dean looked down at his wonky ring and gushed, "I love you."

The teacher zipped up his bag then crooked a finger at his Omega, "I love you too. Come here sweetheart and let me show you how much."

Castiel swept the top of the desk clear. Coffee mug shattering, pens, pencils, books and papers scattered across the floor. Dean kicked off his sneakers and took off his jeans. He stood there, erect cock pointing toward his Alpha begging for attention and pussy wet and twitching in need.

The teacher lifted Dean onto the edge of the desk then sat down and rolled up his desk chair between the teens dangling legs, "Rest on you back for me…relax."

Dean did as he was told but relaxation was the furthest on his mind. He stared up at the florescent lighting for just a moment before closing his eyes. Dean felt the teacher's warm mouth engulf his erection as long fingers probed gently around his labia.

"C-Cas..."

The mouth released his dick with a wet pop, "Yes my queen?"

Dean knew how silly it sounded the moment the words escaped his lips, "What are you doing?"

A soft kiss pressed against his freckled inner thigh and a mix of honey and gravel caressed his ears.

"I'm pleasuring you until my blood runs with you nectar."

The Omega sighed as his lover's tongue went exploring.

…

Sam wiped the foggy back window of the SUV and watched for Dean and Cas to come out. Alfie's mom glanced in the rearview mirror at her son's everything.

"Sam I need to get home. Do you want to sleep over or not?"

Dean and Castiel exited the school, headed straight for the lime green car and in a few minutes it pulled safely out of the parking lot. Relief washed over him, Sam had a feeling all day. A tickle in his mind that told him things weren't right that he needed to be vigilant. This time the feeling didn't pan out and that was ok with him.

"Yes Mrs. Driel I'm sleeping over."

Alfie was already pouring over notes for their science project. He stuck the notebook in his lab partner's face, "We only have until Friday to come up with something good."

Sam cleared the window again with his sleeve and took one last look. Besides a few straggling students in the parking lot everything looked normal.

…

Cas' cell phone went off on the drive back home, "Answer it Dean."

This was something new. Dean decided he was going to buck for a phone of his own and one for Sam. After all, he was going to be a Novak soon enough and why not stick them on the family plan?

"Hello, Dean Winchester speaking."

Spencer hesitated a moment then answered, "Why are you answering the phone?"

"Because."

There was a sigh on the other end, "Your dad is here. He's having supper with us. I'm just giving you both a heads up." There was no answer on the other end so Spencer continued, "Get it over with Dean. The man said he was leaving town soon so it sounds like things will work."

Dean handed the phone over to Castiel, "My dad is at the house. It's Mr. Novak on the phone.

The teacher put the phone to his ear, "Did you invite him over?"

"No, he showed up. I'm the one that invited him to supper. Like I told Dean the man said he was leaving town soon. I want this all settled Castiel, I didn't sign up for all this bullshit. Life used to be peaceful."

Scotty could be heard in the background, "Boring…life used to be boring."

Another sigh, "Just get home. It'll all work out."

…..

Castiel held the steering wheel in a death grip still fuming over John Winchester showing up at his house. "I hate this Dean."

Dean was between a rock and a hard place. His Alpha had every right to be pissed but Dean needed to talk to John and get it over with.

"Cas I'm going to be in your dad's house. He won't pull any bullshit there. I need to talk to my dad and get everything out in the open. I can't ignore him…he won't allow it. Dad needs to know about us."

The Alpha grumbled, "Don't worry, John is going to know about us."

Dean reached over and placed a hand on Castiel's thigh, "I'll never leave you." He rested his head against the cool glass, green eyes focused on the Christmas lights as they drove through a residential neighborhood.

It all looked so very normal, the rows of unremarkable middle class houses hiding the families within. Dean wanted normal with Cas whatever that was. It would be their version of normal. The young teacher and the tender, young Hunter carving out their own bit of paradise in this flawed, restrictive world they lived in.

Somehow Dean needed to make John understand that he deserved this, that Sam deserved it also.

Castiel was the one that reached over now clasping one of the boy's cool, slender hands in his, "I love you."

Dean replied softy, "Love you too."

….

John watched Scotty over the rim of his glass then took a drink of the fine scotch that was offered. Spencer had stepped into his office to make a business call leaving the Omega with a predator momentarily.

He set the glass down and gave Scotty a dark smile, "You don't like me very much do you."

Scotty hugged his fuzzy sweater tightly around him. "Actually I don't like you at all."
