Summary: If you could have a timer that could count down the minutes up till that moment when you would meet you soul mate would you want one? "Sorry" the blue eyed boy murmured before running away. Dean was in so much shock that he didn't follow the boy, he didn't even know if he could follow him. Destiel and Sambriel.

A/n: The other day I was watching TiMER and started to think "What if Dean and Castiel had timers?" and so this idea plagued me until I just had to write it down. I hope you guys enjoy it. And all mistakes are mine since I don't have a beta. Anyways, enjoy and please let me know what you think about it.

Disclaimer: I don't own TiMER or Supernatural. *Sigh* That sucks.

"Our soul…tries to direct us to individuals who share our purpose in life, complement our strengths, and supplement our weaknesses. But there is no guarantee that these ideal mates are going to look the way we expect, or be of our own background."

"Hey have you seen Castiel?" Gabriel asked his sister Anna, they both moved through the heard of students making their way to the cafeteria.

"Not since this morning. Why?" Anna asked tilting her head to the side. Gabriel guessed that's from where Castiel got the head tilting thing.

"He didn't want to be alone for lunch so he asked me this morning if he could hang out with me. He said that he would meet me outside my classroom, but when I came out he wasn't there and I waited for him a few more minutes but nada" Gabriel explained.

"Are you sure you waited for him and not just came straight to the cafeteria?" Anna asked with an incredulously look directed to his brother. Gabriel looked at her sister insulted.

"Of course I did, I know it may not appear so but I do care for the little guy. He is our little brother and he is going through a rough thing right know. It's scary to think that you're going to meet your soul mate especially at such a young age, and Castiel is so naïve about many things I just don't want to see him get hurt" Gabriel finished his speech with a shrug of shoulders, trying to make up for his girly confession by acting as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Wow that's just the sweetest thing you've ever said Gabe" Anna said looking at Gabriel as if he had just grown another head.

"Don't get used to it" Gabriel mumbled.

"No I get it, I feel the same way. Actually I've had this weird feeling all morning and it just won't go away" Anna admitted to his brother.

"Come on lets go look for the little pest" Gabriel said now getting nervous about his brother's disappearance.

"Yeah let's go" Anna said turning around from the middle of the cafeteria. Food could wait for later right now they had to find Castiel.

"Sorry" Anna said to a boy that she accidently hit when she was getting out of the cafeteria. The boy mumbled something under his breath but continued walking in a way that reminded the brothers of a lost puppy. Anna shrugged her shoulders and made a gesture for Gabriel to hurry up.

"Where could he be?" Gabriel asked passing by the science hallway for the third time.

"Come on lets go to the library one more time, if he's not there then we call Michael" Anna said her eyes shining with unshed tears.

"Ok" Gabriel said making his way to the library for the tenth time. As they entered the library they decided to walk all around the big place instead of just taking a glance around.

"What's that?" Gabriel asked pointing to a lump that was between two small couches. Anna and Gabriel made their way to the lump. Gabriel carefully poked at the bundle and was stunned to find Castiel with red rimmed eyes.

"What's wrong Castiel?" Gabriel said pulling his little brother from where he was hiding. He hugged him hard as he felt Castiel's body start to quiver and tears start to spill from his eyes. Gabriel gave Anna a look, Anna understood what his brother was hinting at and quickly took her cellphone out. She went away to call Michael so that he could come pick them up. When she returned she saw that Castiel hadn't moved from his earlier position. He had stopped crying but he was now staring emptily straight ahead.

They didn't have to wait much for the intercom to call them to the office. The bell that signaled the end of lunch had already rung awhile back so that meant that no one was in the corridors. Anna grabbed his little brother's backpack and together they started to walk to the office. Castiel was still tightly wrapped around his brother. Michael was waiting for them outside the office; he was leaning against a wall, good thing that they didn't have to enter the office because the secretaries would sure ask them questions about Castiel's welfare. When Michael saw his brothers he hastily made his way towards them. Michael took Castiel from Gabriel, Castiel upon seeing his big brother immediately started to cry again.

"Come on guys let's go home, and if anyone asks I took you out because you had a doctor's appointment" Michael said mostly to Gabriel and Anna, they both absentmindedly nodded. Michael could clearly see that they were preoccupied by their little brother. They had never seen him like this, not in a long while at least.

"Hey were you left? I was hungry and you weren't here to make me lunch, so I tried to make myself soup but I kind of exploded the microwave" a sheepish Lucifer said when he heard the door open.

"What?!" Anna yelled as she ran to the kitchen.

"What are these munchkins doing here? Shouldn't they be at school?" Lucifer asked standing up and following his big brother. That's when he saw a sleeping Castiel in Michael's arms.

"Yeah but Anna called me that Castiel hadn't gone to his classes and that they had found him in the library crying" Michael said in a gruff voice, Castiel wasn't a little kid anymore which meant that he was heavy.

"What's this that I hear about you exploding the microwave?" Michael asked as Lucifer opened the door of Castiel's room. The walls were painted in an ocean blue color that almost matched Cas's eyes color. All his furniture was a black color, including his desk that was opposite to the bed. Castiel's room was always clean not a single thing was out of order, even his books were all alphabetically ordered.

"It's of no importance right now" Lucifer said helping his brother take Castiel's shoes of and get him under the covers. That's when Lucifer noticed the white zeroes on Castiel's wrist.

"Son of a bitch!" Lucifer gasped out.

"Lucifer! What have I told you about cussing? I will not tolerate that language in this house!" Michael scolded his brother. Lucifer rolled his eyes and grabbed Castiel's wrist.

"Look, this means he found his soul mate" Lucifer explained and Michael noticed for the first time the white numbers.

"That's probably why he had a meltdown" Michael mumbled and Lucifer nodded in consent.

"Come on let's go to the kitchen and talk about this with the others" Michael said steering Lucifer towards the door.

"How about we discuss this at the living room?" Lucifer said with a sheepish grin.

"No" was all Michael said as he went down stairs, Lucifer stood at the top of the stairs and winced when he heard his brother's cry. So it seemed that Michael had found the exploded microwave.

"Dean, Dean, Dean" Sam kept repeating to his brother, when that didn't work he decided to snap his fingers in front of his face.

"What?" Dean said with a voice that held no emotion whatsoever. That more than anything scared Sam because he knew that a no emotion Dean equaled to a ready to burst Dean. And that always had some bad consequences.

"Are you ready to go?" Sam asked his big brother. Dean always waited for Sam after school in the car to go home. This time Sam had gotten there and had seen Dean leaning against his car but he made no move of getting inside. After five minutes of just standing there Sam had decided to interrupt his brother and asked him to take them home.

"Yeah I'm ready" he said and as if to prove him right he got inside the Impala and started the car. For the third time that day Sam gave a long sigh and got inside the car next to his brother. The ride home was spent in awkward silence, Dean hadn't even put one of those stupid cassettes that always drove Sam crazy. After another few minutes of silence Sam decided that he had had enough and started to question his brother.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing"

"Then why are you acting as if Dr. Sexy M.D has been canceled?"

"I'm not"

"Will you just talk to me?"

"No" Dean grounded through clenched teeth. Sam knew that if he pushed Dean farther he was going to end walking home. Dean's hand were clenched on the steering wheel, his knuckles had turned white. That's when Sam noticed the white numbers in his brother's wrist. Suddenly everything made sense as to why his brother was acting all weird; he had found his soul mate. Before he could control himself Sam let out and involuntarily gasp. Dean turned towards him and following Sam's gaze he turned his wrist a little so that the numbers would be hidden from him.

"Who is it?" Sam didn't know why he had whispered.

"Fuck off Sam" Dean said, this time Sam decided to follow his brother's advice.

When they got home Dean quickly made a dash to his room and proceeded to lock himself and turn the music to full blast.

"What's got your brother acting all emo?" Bobby said from the kitchen door. Bobby was their guardian and the closest thing they had to a father figure. Sam and Dean's mother had died a few years ago from cancer and their father died a couple of months later, in a car crash. Bobby had known both Mary and John for a long time that he had felt it was his duty to adopt them so they wouldn't be separated.

"Judging by the white zeroes on his wrist I would say that he has found his soul mate and it wasn't who he expected" Sam told Bobby as he made his way to the table. Bobby placed a plate of food, macaroni and cheese, in front of him before he seated himself.

"Well that explains a lot, God knows your brother has problems with relationship commitments. Finding his soul mate might be scary for him right know especially at this age" Bobby grumbled. Everyone knew that Bobby was hard in the outside but soft heart in the inside.

"Yah I just hope that I end up finding my soul mate till I'm 30" Sam said with a grin.

"Now now boy don't go jinxing yourself" Bobby said smacking Sam's head.

"I'll go talk with Dean as soon as I finish eating this" Bobby said to Sam pointing at his plate. Sam sighed in relief. His brother needed someone right know, although he might say differently, and he was glad that Bobby had offered himself to go talk to an emotional suppressed Dean.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Go away Sam" Dean yelled from his bed.

"First of all boy I aint your brother, and second this is my house so open the door or I'll open it by force and you won't be happy when you will have to pay for a new one" Bobby said and Dean decided that he should open the door before Bobby really did break the door.

"Why didn't you go have dinner?" Bobby said while entering the room. He decided to grab the chair that was next to the Dean's desk. He turned the chair facing Dean and gave him the look that said 'start talking and I'm not in the mood for your shenanigans'.

"I wasn't hungry" Was Dean's only reply.

"Mind telling me why?" Bobby said in a soft whisper and that was all it took for Dean to explode and confess everything that had happened that day, starting from waking up late to meeting his soul mate.

"…and then he just ran away, he didn't even tell me his name" Dean finished sounding a little mad about not knowing even his soul mate's name.

"Idjit. Hasn't it crossed your mind that he was probably as shocked as you and got scared?" Bobby said making Dean feel stupid. Of course he hadn't thought about that. Bobby was probably right, the boy was probably scared that his soul mate turned out to be a guy and the most popular guy in their grade too! Well maybe not their grade since Dean didn't know if the boy was in the same year as him.

"Yeah he probably got scared because I'm popular and from the way he was dressed I've had to say he is a nerd" Dean said.

"Ouch what was that for?" Dean said rubbing the spot in his head that Bobby had just hit him on.

"Now boy don't be getting your head big" Bobby shook his head. Honestly he was getting to old for this school hierarchy thing that a lot of mindless teens had going on.

"Now listen to me closely cause I will only repeat myself once ok?" Bobby said in his best authoritative voice he could muster. He waited for Dean to nod his acknowledgement before continuing.

"Tomorrow you will find this boy and you will talk to him, you will introduce yourself and you will be respectful. I don't want to hear any of that "but I'm popular and he's a nerd" stuff because at the end that won't help you with anything in the real world. Now man up and come grab your plate of dinner" Bobby finished his speech by getting up from the chair and making his way down. Dean contemplated going downstairs where his brother was. A loud growl came from his stomach and he decided that he didn't care about what Sam had to say and made his way to the kitchen. He was determined to talk to the blue eyed boy and learn his name, because he was a Winchester and Winchester's weren't scared of anything. Anything at ALL.

A/N: To The White Knight's girl you are partially correct the tattoo was placed there because our hearts are slightly in our left side, but it is also because there's a vein that runs from your ring finger all up the way to your heart. That's also why your wedding ring goes in that finger, awesome right? Anyways don't you guys miss Castiel? I do! I can't wait to see another episode of Supernatural featuring our lovely angel.
