Castiel was nervous. At the moment he was walking through campus with a suitcase trying to get to his new dorm room. Why was he so nervous? Because he was probably going to meet his new roommate. Castiel was hoping that his roommate would be nice- well, nice enough. College was already going to be hard enough for him, and having a jackass roommate was not going to be helpful at all.

Maybe his roommate would be perfect though. Maybe he would also be gay and they would fall in love, graduate together, and get married. Pfft, like that'll happen.

With each step, Castiel was getting more and more nervous. This could greatly impact his college life. As he came to a stop at the dorm, Castiel had butterflies in his stomach. He stood for a minute, room key in hand. Should he just walk in? No, what if his roommate was indecent. So he lifted his hand and knocked. Castiel heard footsteps coming towards him, then the door opened.

Staring back at him were a pair of bright, sparkling green eyes.

Castiel felt his mouth go dry. "Hi" he managed to say. Wow he was beautiful. The man was around 6 feet, maybe 6'1, with sandy, dirty blonde hair, and those stunning green eyes. He was wearing loose, gray sweatpants and a tight fitting, black AC/DC shirt. He could only imagine what the man would look like without the shirt. Castiel was brought back to reality when the man spoke, "Uhm, hey." Shit! Introduce yourself Castiel, don't just stand there like an idiot. "My name is Castiel Novak. I believe that I am your new roommate."

The man smiled. He was absolutely stunning when he smiled. "Nice to meet' ya Castiel. My name's Dean Winchester. C'mon in." Dean. The perfect name for the perfect man. Castiel stepped into the room, dragging his luggage behind him. He put it down. Dean shut the door and turned to Castiel, rubbing the back of his neck. "Sooo I got that room," Dean said, pointing to a room. He pointed to a different one, "Which means you can have that one. M'Kay Cas?"

Castiel stared at Dean, an eyebrow cocked. "What?" Dean asks. "You called me 'Cas'." Dean's eyes went confused then a look of realization flooded his features. "Oh. I'm so sorry. I'll just call you Castiel if you'd prefer." Cas smiled, "No it's alright. I've just never received a nickname before." Dean smiled, relieved. "Well you've got one now. Anyways, the couch, tv, and kitchen are obviously right in front of you. And that room is the bathroom." Dean said, pointing to a room down the hall, beside his bedroom. Cas nodded and realized that Dean was facing away and therefor couldn't see him. "Okay"

"Great! So do you mind if I go shower while you get settled in?" Dean faced Cas, smirking in a very adorable way. "No.. I mean yes.. I mean um, I mean yea.. go ahead." Feeling his cheeks get hot, Cas glanced away shyly. Great job Castiel, now he'll think you are mentally ill or something. Dean just chuckled and walked into the bathroom.

After Dean left, Cas just remained in the main room. Well that could have gone a lot worse. Cas looked around the area. The dorm room/small apartment seemed to be split into 4 rooms. The main room was a combination of a kitchen and a living area with a table. Then there was a hallway that lead to the bedrooms (which were across from each other) and the bathroom. Cas picked up his suitcase from where it was lying on the floor, and walked over to his room.

It was kind of boring. The room had white walls and contained a bed, a dresser with drawers, a desk, and a closet. I can work with this, Castiel thought as he threw his suitcase on the bed. He turned on some music and started working.

He unpacked his suitcase, organizing the clothes in the closet and in the dresser. He put all of his school stuff on his desk, piling the textbooks in one corner. He took out his bed sheets and made the bed. The whole time Cas worked, his thoughts kept coming back to Dean. He was so attractive. He must get all the girls. Yea girls, not guys Castiel. Get a hold of yourself. There was no way he was gay. That would be too good. Cas would just have to deal with the fact that for the rest of college he was going to be roommates with an extremely attractive, heterosexual guy.

And he couldn't tell Dean that he was gay. It could end badly. Dean could leave, no one would be his roommate. Or maybe Dean would beat him up. It had happened before, several times. The majority of the beatings he got were from his dad. Cas shook his head. Stop thinking about that.

Grabbing all his hygienic stuff, Castiel left the room to see if Dean was in the bathroom. He knocked on the door "Dean are you done in there?" Cas asked. A minute later, Dean opened the door, a towel wrapped around his waist. Oh my god. Cas admired Dean's naked torso, noticing the star-like tattoo over his heart. "What'sup Cas?" Dean asked nonchalantly. Castiel licked his lips and tried to act naturally, "Oh, um I was just checking if you're done in the bathroom." Dean nodded, "It's all yours buddy." And he walked back to his room.

Cas let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding. He walked into the bathroom and put his stuff away, then returned to his bedroom. It looked okay. He'd get the rest of his stuff delivered in the next week. As he was turning off the music he noticed he'd gotten a text from Charlie.

hey Cassie! did you get here yet? what are ya doing? text me when you can

Castiel smiled at the text from his best friend. He sat on his bed and texted her back,

Hello Char, yes I have arrived. I just finished setting up my room a little bit.

awesome! im working now but text me later and we can go get some supper

Okay, bye

Castiel glanced up at the sound of someone knocking at the door. Dean stood in the doorway now wearing a pair of jeans and the same shirt. "Hey it's almost lunch time. Do you wanna get some food with me?" Castiel smiled, "Yea sure, where are we going to go?" Dean considered for a moment before responding. "There's a great restaurant down the road, we could walk to it." He seems very excited about this place. "Sure Dean, let's go."

Cas put on a pair of black converse and a trench coat. Dean threw on a pair of boots and leather jacket. They left the dorm, Dean locking the door after them. A short 20 minute walk later they arrived at the restaurant.

"The Roadhouse." Cas read off of the wooden sign above the entrance to the place. "Oh yeah, it's great. I come here so often that I know pretty much all of the staff. C'mon." Dean and Cas walked into the building and waited after seeing the 'Please wait to be seated' sign. After a couple minutes, a lady came up to seat them. "Dean!" She said upon seeing him. She walked over and gave him a big hug. "Hey Ellen." He said laughing. Ellen hit him on the back of the head. "Don't just stand there boy, introduce me to your friend." "Ellen this is Castiel. Cas this is Ellen, she owns this place." Cas smiled brightly. "It's nice to meet you Ellen" She smiled back at him. "You too Castiel. Well boys, come with me and we'll get you all setup." Ellen lead Dean and Cas to a table in the corner of the restaurant. They sat down and she gave them some menus. "Here you go. Your waitress should be here soon to take your orders. Enjoy." And with that, she walked away. Leaving Dean and Castiel alone.
