January 2042 (Castiel is 52, Dean is 53 (almost 54), Eden is 28, Adrian is 25, the twins are 21, Noah is 15 (almost 16), Jayden is 17).
January came along and Noah had fully recovered from his chickenpox.
The new year meant that the numbers of angel/demon mating from the previous year had been published, and the media was already going crazy about it since the numbers were five percent higher this year – meaning that 143 angel/demon couples across America had mated. Although the numbers were very low, it outraged the population that they were still increasing, and their reactions were not positive for the most part.
Although many angels and demons weren't racist and didn't mind their children hanging out with each other at the mixed schools, they did not approve of the two species mating. It was a general belief that the offspring was against nature and would have a negative effect on the genes in the population since angel and demon DNA was further apart than human DNA. There was simply not enough angel/demon hybrids to prove that theory wrong, though. Friendship between angels and demons had become more approved over the past century, but mating was definitely not.
Noah woke up on Wednesday morning and stretched lazily in his bed after having turned off his alarm clock. The room was dark, but he could hear Lily shifting on the mattress next to his bed.
Lily had slept over that night because a racist had somehow gotten into her and Isabella's room at college and had devastated it. The person had completely torn apart Lily's mattress and destroyed some of her personal belongings such as clothes, books, and even her toothbrush. She had been so scared and freaked out that she had called Dean right away and asked to be taken home and spend the night there. Isabella was sleeping over in one of her friend's dorm room until the college found a new room for them, and Lily had apologized to her many times that this had happened. She felt bad that some of Isabella's stuff had been ruined too, but Isabella had insisted that it wasn't her fault.
"Mm, is it time to get up already?" Lily groaned from the mattress, rolling over on her stomach and buried her face in her pillow. She had slept in Noah's room because she didn't want to sleep alone after the shock from yesterday, and Noah didn't mind sharing his room with her; he enjoyed her presence.
"Yeah," Noah replied in a gruff voice which was still hoarse from sleep. He pulled his blanket over his head, not wanting to get up from bed.
"I've first got classes at 9:30, and now I have to get up at 6:30? Ugh, fuck me," Lily groaned into her pillow and dug her fingers into it in annoyance.
Noah chuckled but felt kind of sorry for her. "Are you scared to go back to school?" he asked, pulling his blanket down and glanced down at Lily, although he could barely see her in the dark room. Some light from the street lights outside shined through his curtains, but it wasn't much.
"Yeah… I don't know who wrecked my room, even though the police said they would investigate it. It kinda scares me that it could be anyone I walk by in the corridors… Maybe even a classmate."
"I hope they find the ones who did this…"
Lily lifted her head and smiled up at him in the darkness. "Thanks, I hope so too. Now, let's get up before papa comes in and forces us up."
Noah nodded and turned on the lamp above his bed.
Lily sat up on her mattress, her hair and feathers ruffled from sleep, and Noah chuckled a bit when he watched the mess in her blonde, somewhat sandy-colored hair.
"As if your hair looks better," Lily grumbled at him when she noticed him chuckling at her, before getting up and stripping out of her pajama.
Noah quickly looked away when Lily stood in just her panties and started pulling on her bra and clothes, and her white wings helped her gain her balance when she stood on one leg and struggled to get her other leg into her jeans. Noah himself got up and began getting dressed as well, pulling on a long-sleeved shirt and pants while facing Lily with his back. He glanced over his shoulder when he heard Lily curse, and saw her fumble to get her tail through the tail hole in her jeans. He smiled somewhat sadly, and was once again reminded that he didn't know what it was like to struggle to make your tail fit through your clothing.
They headed downstairs together once they were dressed, and when they entered the living room they were both surprised to see Dean sitting on the couch with Castiel straddling his lap. Dean's hands were placed firmly on the angel's clothed ass, which was seated right on top of his crotch, and Castiel giggled as Dean teased his earlobe and teethed at it playfully.
Noah blushed and looked away a bit while Lily grinned at the sight.
Dean was the first one to notice them entering the room, and he glanced over at them with a smile. "Oh. Hey, kids." He didn't seem bothered at all that they had walked in on him and Cas in such an intimate, affectionate position.
Castiel immediately snapped his head in their direction and his eyes widened when he was caught sitting on Dean like that. He tried to wriggle free and get off of Dean, but the demon's hands on his ass tightened and kept him in place. "Dean!" he complained, pushing at Dean's chest to get away and flailed his wings behind him.
"Don't be so embarrassed, Cas. You're allowed to sit on my lap," Dean just replied with a cocky grin.
Lily giggled. "I'm sure dad loves you sitting there on him. And don't be embarrassed because I'm here; I think it's cute to see you like that," she said and headed over to the kitchen.
Noah looked once more at the way Dean's fingers were digging into Castiel's ass possessively before blushing more and followed Lily over to get breakfast.
Dean smirked at Cas who was still seated in his lap and leaned in to kiss him, humming when the angel opened his mouth to allow Dean to deepen the kiss even though he was still embarrassed. They pulled back after a few seconds and Dean gave the angel a playful slap on the butt before releasing him.
"You are awfully affectionate this morning," Castiel murmured so that only Dean could hear him. He got off Dean's lap and stood up. "Pulling me into your lap like that with no warning, kissing and teasing me, and touching my wings…"
Dean just grinned and stood up from the couch as well. "What? Can't I be in an affectionate mood from time to time?" He flapped his wings two times to make his feathers fall back into place after sitting on the couch has messed them up a little, before going over to peer out the window.
Castiel rolled his eyes fondly and went over to Lily and Noah, while Dean stared at the sidewalk and street outside. It was dark since it was early morning in the winter, but Dean's eye caught someone standing on the sidewalk just outside the house under one of the street lamps. It was an angel male, and Dean's eyes narrowed when he saw the guy staring intensely at the house. Dean's feathers instinctively sharpened, and he was just about to consider walking outside and ask what the fuck the guy was doing staring at his house like that when the angel turned and walked down the sidewalk away from the house. Dean followed him with his eyes before relaxing his wings again and went over to Castiel and the others who hadn't noticed anything at all.
"I hope the college has managed to find a new room for Isabella and I," Lily spoke as she and Noah poured up some cereal. "It really creeps me out that someone did that to our room…"
"Yes, it's very unsettling. Promise me you will be careful at school, Lily. Do not go anywhere alone," Castiel said, sitting down by the table to join them for breakfast. Lily and Noah were seated with their backs to the wall while Castiel was seated with his back to the kitchen. Bella was eagerly eating her food in the small corridor; Dean always fed her right after he got out of bed.
"Yeah, what if those guys wanna hurt you?" Noah said, shivering at the thought.
Lily smiled at them. "I'll be careful, I promise. I won't go anywhere without Isabella, Tony, or Isaac. I'm too scared to anyway."
Lily had gone to Isaac's room just after she had returned to her room and found it devastated like that, and together they had gone back to her room to wait for the police and for Dean and Castiel to show up. Isaac had been just as shocked as Lily, and he had sworn he would get revenge on the sons of bitches who had done it. There were some concerns that whoever had vandalized Lily's room could try to do the same to Isaac's as well, since it was very likely the work of a racist, but Isaac had just dared them to try and was planning on setting up booby-traps for when he and his human roommate Jack weren't in the room.
Dean came over to the table and stood next to it while looking at them. "We all just gotta keep your senses sharp and try not to go anywhere alone these days, alright? Racists always get pretty aggressive when those mating numbers get published…" He sat down next to Cas and poured up some cereal for himself.
Noah always thought it was strange to see a big alpha like his father eating cereal, but he kind of liked it when alphas were all domestic.
Lily glanced at Noah. "I guess that Jayden guy comes in handy now, huh," she smirked.
Noah suppressed a blush. "He's still standing up for me, yes. I think we're slowly becoming friends, actually… Or at least I think of him as one."
"Ohh, that's nice – he does sound like a decent guy, after all. Is he hot?" Lily asked, grinning all over her face when Noah snapped his head to the side to stare at her with wide, shocked eyes.
"W-What? I don't know… I guess he is. The girls are all over him in the corridors all the time, and gay guys like him too, I've heard… And I suppose he's aesthetically pleasing to look at—"
Lily laughed and ruffled Noah's hair. "Aww, you're rambling 'cause you're embarrassed. That's so cute."
Noah swatted her hand away and glared at her with red cheeks.
Castiel smiled at their interaction while Dean put on a grim grimace and growled lightly when Lily started asking Noah if he thought that Jayden was hot.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Noah hugged Lily goodbye as he was dropped off at school, and Dean and Castiel drove her over to her college afterwards so she could attend her classes later.
He met up with Abby and Christie as usual and headed into the school with them. He had history class first with Amanda, Chanel, and Nikki, which relieved him because then he wouldn't be all on his own right from the morning.
Abby, Christie, and Noah went to their lockers to get the books for their classes, and Noah told them about what had happened to Lily the night before.
"That's fucking messed up, breaking into someone's room like that. What the hell is wrong with those racists?" Abby grumbled and shut her locker a bit harsher than necessary.
"Uhhuh," Christie agreed. "I'm amazed she has the guts to go back to college again after what happened. I'd be scared as hell."
"She did say she's scared but she's gonna stay close to Isaac, her boyfriend, and her other friends," Noah explained and stuffed his big history book into his shoulder bag before closing his locker. He looked up when he saw a group of jocks walking by, and he caught a glimpse of Jayden walking among them and laughing with them over something. Their eyes met and the alpha sent him a brief smile which Noah returned with a blush before Jayden and his jock friends continued walking down the corridor. The girls were watching them with shy giggles and making themselves look more attractive, like they always did when the popular guys walked by.
"He sure smiles at you a lot lately. Especially since the two of you did that project together," Abby remarked.
Noah snapped his head around to look at her, watching as she and Christie stared at him intensely with small smirks on their lips.
"I think he likes you," Christie said.
"As a friend," Noah clarified. "What else would he like me for?"
Abby was about to say something when a beta angel walked by and said "Freak!" out loud at Noah as he passed him, making a lot of other people laugh in the corridor.
Noah felt the familiar burn of humiliation, and before he could even think he turned towards the boy who was already several feet away by now and snapped, "You too!"
People gasped in shocked surprise, and Abby and Christie looked completely taken aback by that for a second before their faces turned into bright, proud grins. The beta guy who had called Noah a freak was so stunned by it that he just kept walking – especially when people started laughing at him because he had been snapped back at by a sub – and he glared back at Noah for a few seconds before getting out of there.
"Wow, nice going," Abby grinned and put a hand on Noah's shoulder.
"Yeah, that was awesome. But be careful they don't beat you up over it next time," Christie said, sounding a little worried.
Noah shifted a bit and grabbed the strap of his bag in a nervous gesture. "I don't know why I said that…" he murmured.
"Well, the guy had it coming – and it was awesome. But we better head off to class now," Abby smiled and followed Noah towards his classroom.
When Noah entered the history classroom he kept his head down as he walked over to his usual seat next to Amanda. A few of the others stopped their conversation to stare at him until he had seated himself, but Noah ignored their staring. Amanda, Nikki, and Chanel smiled warmly at him and started chatting with him, which immediately put Noah in a better mood. It was good to have a few friends when everyone else at school seemed to think you were a freak.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Noah's next class was English with Jayden, but he never sat too close to the alpha because if he did then Jayden's friends would glare at him and begin to ask Jayden embarrassing questions about whether he was fucking Noah or not, so Noah kept his distance. He didn't want to put Jayden into that embarrassing situation either.
When he entered the class Jayden was already there, seated at the row by the wall in the back of the room and laughing with his three jock friends. Noah quickly went over to the window row and picked a seat, beginning to take out his book and laptop while listening to the noise in the classroom.
"Hey, look! It's Jayden's freak girlfriend!" one of the guys said out loud after Noah had seated himself, making the submissive flinch just slightly. Some alphas would refer to submissives as girls to mock them and degrade them, and Noah had experienced it more often lately.
"Knock it off!" Jayden growled, slapping the guy with his biology notebook and glared at him.
"But you always defend him, so I guess you must care about him," Jayden's friend Thomas teased, making a few others laugh as well.
"I defend a lot of people; doesn't mean they're all my girl- or boyfriends," Jayden grumbled, gazing briefly over at Noah who kept his attention on his laptop screen and willed himself not to stare back.
"But you defend him more than you defend the others," Colin pointed out.
"Because he gets harassed more," Jayden explained, sounding impatient and annoyed with his friends now.
Noah glanced briefly at Jayden out of the corner of his eye and saw the alpha sending him an apologetic look, as if apologizing for his friends' stupid comments. Noah quickly looked back at his screen and waited for the teacher to arrive.
The class felt long and Noah just wanted it to end already. It didn't make it better that the teacher announced that another small project was to be handed in two weeks. Noah didn't have anyone to pair up with except for Jayden, but he wasn't going to ask him to pair up – he didn't want any further harassment from Jayden's friends. Besides, it would put Jayden in a bad social position and Noah didn't want that.
Class ended without Noah being able to find a partner, and he sighed as everyone got up to leave the classroom. He figured he would just send the teacher an email later and ask if he could work alone since she had already left so Noah couldn't ask her now.
Noah stood up and was about to pack his laptop together when one of the boys pushed into him and knocked his shoulder bag straight into Noah's sensitive wing on purpose. Noah let out a pained gasp as he felt the bag scrape along his right wing bone, sending sharp stabs of pain through him, and he looked up to see the guy looking back at him over his shoulder with a cruel smirk before disappearing from class. A few others laughed at it, and Noah hated himself for having let out that pained gasp and have shown everyone that it had hurt. He proceeded with packing his stuff, not looking at anyone as he did so and just hoped they would all leave already.
Noah was mildly startled when Jayden suddenly popped up next to him after pretty much everyone had left.
"Hey," Jayden said, moving to stand in front of Noah. He cast a worried glance at Noah's wing and cringed a little. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Noah lied, zipping up his bag after having put all his items inside. His wing still hurt and ached, and he knew his feathers looked ruffled at the place where the guy had collided with him.
Jayden didn't look convinced but he didn't press the matter. "So, uh, wanna pair up again?" he asked, shifting almost shyly.
Noah raised his head and stared back at him in bewilderment. "You want to make this project with me?" he asked, surprised.
The alpha chuckled. "Yeah, why not? You're good at writing projects and all my friends really suck – they mostly put all the work on me and don't do shit themselves. They're not particularly good friends, really…"
"Why do you hang out with them, then?" Noah asked before he could help himself.
Jayden shrugged. "They're on my football team, and it's important to get along well with the team if I wanna be a part of it. Besides, they do have their good sides… kind of." He looked at Noah partly from under his lashes. "So… do you wanna pair up or not? You don't have to, I can just—"
"No, I want to pair up with you," Noah quickly said, cutting Jayden off. He blushed a bit and added, "For the project that is."
Jayden laughed. "Yeah, I got that. So, uh, let's meet somewhere to work on it at some point? I guess we can finish most of it in maybe four to six hours – it's not a big project, after all."
"Um, I'd rather not do it at school… If people see us sitting together they start, um, talking," Noah murmured and twitched his wings a bit. He tried not to grimace at the pain the action caused in his right wing.
"We can go to your house again then? I think you're most comfortable having your family around when you hang out with me alone," Jayden suggested, smiling a bit.
Noah nodded and flushed a bit. "Okay. And yes, I prefer that. N-Not that I hate you or anything, but I—"
Jayden cut him off with a chuckle. "I get it, and I'm not offended," he spoke. "So… Does Saturday next week sound okay to you? I can't do it this weekend; my family is taking me somewhere."
Noah contemplated that for a moment before saying, "Okay, I think that works."
"Okay, I'll come before noon then, then we have all day to make it. And I gotta head to my next class now, so…" Jayden stared at Noah, hesitating a bit before saying, "Do you want me to walk you to yours?"
The question startled Noah and he was sure it showed on his face. "Uh…"
"I've seen people snap nasty words at you more often in the corridors this month, likely because of all that media attention on angel/demon mating and hybrids. I don't mind walking you there to make the bullies keep their distance."
Noah thought about it before agreeing. "Okay, thanks," he smiled, grabbing his shoulder bag and placed it on his shoulder before leaving the room with Jayden.
Noah's next class was art, so Jayden followed him there and walked by his side through the corridors. It earned them a lot of odd glances but Jayden kept his nose high and completely ignored them, where Noah was feeling rather paranoid and stared around at the others.
It was odd how walking next to Jayden like this made Noah feel more confident as he walked down the corridors. No one was pushing into him or calling him a freak, but they did give him odd and displeased glances, but Noah tried not to pay attention to that.
"Ooh, one of the jocks is getting some sub pussy!" a beta demon grinned lewdly at them as they passed him, but Jayden just growled at him sharply, making the guy shut up and back down immediately.
Noah blinked up at Jayden who once again put on a blank face as they were being stared and whispered at. When he finally looked forwards again he almost flinched when he spotted Max standing outside a classroom with his three friends, whispering about them as the four boys stared at Noah and Jayden in what seemed to be disbelief and disgust. Max didn't say anything though, even though it looked like he wanted to, but Jayden's presence seemed to scare him off. Jayden had snapped at Max several times when he caught him harassing Noah, and there was no doubt that both alphas resented each other. Max being somewhat of a coward and not the fighting-type made him back off a little whenever Jayden was around, not wanting to get in a fight with him.
They finally reached Noah's classroom and Jayden turned to look at him.
"Well, that was awkward. Having them giving me all those weird, disgusted looks… Guess I kinda know how you feel now," Jayden said, rubbing the back of his neck a bit.
"Sorry, I didn't want you to experience that…" Noah muttered, immediately regretting that he hadn't just said no to Jayden's offer earlier.
"It's fine. At least no one bumped into your hurt wing – which was what I wanted to avoid. Besides, that's what friends are for, right?"
Noah snapped his head up and stared back at Jayden's smiling face in surprise, feeling totally speechless for a moment. Before Noah could say anything Jayden was already leaving.
"See you around," Jayden smiled and hurried off to his own class, leaving Noah baffled in the corridor in front of his art class.
Noah blinked a few times, letting Jayden's words sink in. Then, he couldn't stop smiling to himself when he realized that Jayden had called him a 'friend'. Noah supposed he shouldn't be so surprised by it – they had talked more lately and they got along well, so 'friends' was probably a good term for it. But having a guy think of him as a friend wasn't something that Noah had tried before, and he couldn't help but feel happy about it.
Feeling happier than he had for a long time at school, Noah finally entered his art class and wasn't as bothered anymore to be sitting all alone in it – at least he had friends in other classes.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Dean had mixed feelings about having Jayden over at the house once again to work on a project with Noah. He didn't dislike Jayden as such, but he was wary of him. His youngest child had an alpha friend, and Dean wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing. Alpha/submissive friendships were unusual, and he couldn't help but suspect that Jayden wanted to get into Noah's pants. He didn't think that Jayden had become friends with Noah for that purpose alone, but it would be strange if the guy had never had a single thought in his mind about sleeping with Noah – and that alone was enough to make Dean feel protective.
It was Saturday – the day that Jayden would come to visit Noah to work on their project – and Dean and Castiel lay in bed together, their bodies still exhausted and sweaty after having had a round of lazy morning sex. The angel lay against Dean's side with his head on the demon's chest, listening to Dean's heartbeat and humming contently. His right wing was covering most of Dean's body, and the demon's arm was wrapped around his waist as they lay together.
"What are your thoughts right now?" Castiel asked when he noticed Dean being more quiet than usual. He didn't raise his head from Dean's chest and instead moved his right index finger over the muscles and the demon's left nipple, watching it absently and felt Dean's muscles flex under his cheek.
"I can't stop thinking about Noah seeing that guy… or being friends with him, at least," Dean admitted, lazily playing with some of Cas' feathers with the hand that was wrapped around the angel's waist. "It's so strange that Noah has a male friend all of sudden… He hasn't had that before."
"I know, but I think it's a good thing."
"Hmm, I guess so. The dude seems polite enough…"
Castiel raised his head from Dean's chest and stared back at his mate's face. "And you will be polite to him as well," he said firmly, as if it was an order.
Dean practically pouted. "Fine," he grumbled.
Castiel just smiled at him, pleased, before moving down Dean's body to his cock. It was soft now, still covered in Cas' own slick and Dean's semen, and the demon's abdomen still had some of Castiel's own release on it. He leaned in and licked the come off Dean's stomach, moving further down to clean the demon's thick member as well.
"Cas," Dean grunted, instinctively grabbing a hold of the angel's hair. "You're gonna make me hard again."
"Good, because I am actually kind of horny this morning, and a soft cock is not going to please me much," Castiel stated, giving Dean's dick a few strokes to make him grow hard.
Dean's eyes widened, somewhat surprised, and his hands tightened in Cas' hair on reflex when hearing the angel say those words. He looked back down at Cas and saw the angel smirking smugly at him, making Dean groan in appreciation. "Fuck, I love when you're being such a horny slut, Cas, but what gives?"
"I don't know. Hormones probably. Besides, work has been kind of stressful this week, and sex is a nice stress-relief," Castiel spoke while he licked his tongue gingerly over the head of Dean's cock, licking off the rest of the semen stuck on it and hummed at the taste. Dean was already growing hard again, and his cock felt heavier and heavier in Castiel's hand. "And you are very gorgeous alpha," he added, smirking up at Dean as he stroked his member.
Dean let out a pleased, horny growl and tugged a bit at the angel's hair. "Damn right I'm gorgeous," he grinned cockily, making Castiel roll his eyes a bit.
When Dean was properly hard again, Castiel swung his leg over the demon so that he was straddling him and reached behind himself to guide Dean inside him once more. They moaned in unison as they joined again while their bodies were still tingling and sensitive from their previous climaxes, and Castiel quickly sank all the way down so that his ass was pressed against Dean's balls.
Dean's tail twisted on the bed next to him, and his wings were spread out across the bed. Castiel admired the sight of Dean spreading his wings for him before grabbing a hold of both Dean's wrists and pinned the demon's hands on the bed next to his head, leaning over his body as he did so.
Dean let out a surprised grunt, and he growled lightly and struggled against Castiel since his alpha side thought it was too submissive of him to let Cas do that, but he quickly calmed down and stopped struggling. It was freaking hot that the angel was pinning him down like that while slowly beginning to move on his cock – taking what he wanted from Dean and made Dean take it as well.
Castiel was pleased when Dean stopped struggling, and he kept his eyes locked with Dean's as he slowly began moving faster on his dick. The angel moaned when Dean's cock slid almost all the way out of him before he slammed back down on it, making obscene noises of skin slapping against skin. The angel's own member was hard and leaking slightly on Dean's abdomen, and it bounced every time Castiel pushed himself up and down on his mate.
"Fuck, Cas… Those pretty wings of yours," Dean babbled as he watched the white feathers move and rustle with every bounce, and how Castiel was spreading his wings out on display for Dean.
The angel gasped, keeping his eyes on Dean the whole time, before moving his hands into Dean's and entwined their fingers while he kept the demon's hands pinned next to his head on the bed. They held on tight to each other's hands and panted in unison, feeling each other's lust and love through their bond.
"Are you gonna come, Cas?" Dean asked, his voice hoarse from sex when he could tell that Cas was already getting close. "I would wrap my hand around that pretty, little dick of yours if you didn't have me pinned here, but I guess you coming on just my cock is just as pleasing."
"Dean," Castiel whimpered, his movements getting desperate now.
Dean smirked. "And you say I'm kinky and dirty, and yet I'm the one being used a sex toy here." His smirk grew when Castiel let a small, strangled noise at that and closed his eyes shut for a moment. "It's fucking hot, though. You arefucking hot."
Castiel let out a small growl and pinned Dean's hands down on the bed extra hard while leaning down so that their noses were almost touching and his movements had stopped. "And you have a dirty mouth," he growled, staring into Dean's surprised eyes. He smirked a bit and nibbled at the demon's bottom lip with his teeth for a few seconds, before pulling away and continued his movements, setting a hard, fast pace on Dean's dick.
Dean blinked at Cas a few times in surprise, but he definitely didn't protest at how bossy the angel was being at the moment. It sent sparks of lust through him and made his cock twitch painfully inside the angel.
It didn't take long before they both reached their climaxes again. Castiel's mouth opened in a wide 'O' as he came, riding out Dean's orgasm as the demon exploded inside him and filled him up with another load of come. They grabbed each other's hands tightly as they rode it out, panting and moaning until the peak was over.
Castiel panted, finally feeling sated and high on endorphins from having come twice that morning. He slowly released their hands and sat back, supporting himself with his hands on Dean's chest now and felt Dean breathe heavily under him. He smiled down at Dean, saying, "Our guest is arriving soon so we should get up."
"Hey, sex was your idea," Dean reminded him. "Not that I'm complaining though…"
Castiel chuckled and pulled off him. "I know you aren't."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Noah wasn't feeling nervous this time when he was expecting Jayden to arrive. He was actually looking forward to it. Castiel couldn't help but smile as he watched the happy, excited smile on Noah's face that morning, but Dean kept scowling in displeasure whenever he noticed it.
Jayden arrived at 11:20am, ringing the doorbell, and Noah went over to open the door while Castiel grabbed onto Dean's arm to make him stay in the living room for now.
Jayden grinned when Noah opened the door for him and Bella barked at him happily as she came to greet him. "Hey," he said, petting the dog while keeping his eyes on Noah.
"Hi," Noah smiled, inviting his alpha friend inside and closed the door after him.
"I hope you're up for project-writing," Jayden spoke as he took off his shoes and jacket and petted Bella whenever he could. She seemed to like him a lot which made Noah smile.
"Yeah, at least it's not that long this time."
They both looked up when Dean and Castiel appeared in the doorway to the living room to greet their guest.
Jayden smiled politely at them. "Hello, Mr. and Mx. Winchester. I hope my presence is not an inconvenience to you…"
"Of course it isn't," Castiel said, waving him off with a smile. "Noah has been looking forward to you coming here."
"Papa," Noah whined lowly, blushing like mad while scowling at the angel.
Jayden just grinned in amusement and turned his head to look at Noah.
"Well, the rules are the same as last time you were here: Keep your hands off Noah, otherwise you're out," Dean spoke, leaning against the doorframe with crossed arms while he looked at Jayden. There was a somewhat playful smirk on his lips which instantly relaxed Jayden a bit when he looked at him.
"Dean," Castiel groaned, feeling embarrassed about him once again.
Jayden chuckled softly. "Yeah, I got it." His wings and tail were once again in a lowered position in front of Dean since he didn't want trouble with the older alpha.
Dean's smirk broadened, pleased with Jayden's words. "Okay, good. Now, go do that project."
"Yes, sir," Jayden grinned and followed Noah upstairs when the smaller boy gestured for him to come along.
Dean and Castiel watched them go upstairs, and once they were out of their sight the angel turned to look at Dean in wonder.
"You treated him awfully well this time compared to last time," Castiel said, studying Dean curiously and somewhat skeptically.
"You were the one that told me to treat him nicely," Dean pointed out and unfolded his arms. "Besides, I think if Jayden wanted to hurt Noah he would likely have done it already."
Castiel smiled at that, feeling somewhat proud of Dean for no longer being so embarrassingly protective and skeptic of Noah's new friend. He rubbed Bella behind the ears and smiled down at the dog before he and Dean went into the living room to relax together.
Meanwhile Noah and Jayden were preparing to get started with their project. They put their laptops on Noah's desk, and the submissive had already provided an extra chair for his guest.
As Jayden leaned over the desk to plug his laptop in, Noah suddenly noticed a spot on the alpha's right wing bone which seemed to lack a few feathers. "What happened?" he asked, feeling a little worried.
Jayden looked back at him, confused at first, before following Noah's gaze to his wing. "Oh," he said, pulling away after having plugged in his laptop and straightened up as he stood in front of Noah. "I, uh… I got into a fight with Justin from my football team when we went to visit a friend's house last night," he explained. "He suddenly tackled me to the ground, and my wing got scraped on the asphalt outside the house, making some of my feathers fall out and gave me pretty bad bruising." He shifted a bit and seemed kind of uncomfortable with telling Noah this.
Noah cringed in sympathy. "Ow, that must have hurt. Why would Justin do that?"
Jayden glanced at him from partly under his lashes and hesitated with his answer. "He was, uh, disapproving of me hanging out with you. He's seen me talking to you in the corridors and in class, and he got angry at me when I told him to fuck off when he complained about it."
Jayden and Noah had been talking more than usual in the past week. The alpha even stopped when he saw Noah in the corridors to have a quick chat before parting ways to go to class, and their classmates had noticed them looking and smiling at each other every now and then.
Noah instantly felt bad about what had happened. "I'm sorry, I didn't want this happen to you because of me—"
"Don't say that," Jayden cut him off quickly. "I can hang out with whoever I damn well please; it's no one's business, and the fact that Justin attacked me 'cause he has a problem with it just shows he's a narrow-minded asshole. And it's not like he beat me down – I almost broke his nose when I punched him in return, so he had to go the ER… My parents weren't very happy about that," he muttered bitterly.
"Oh." Noah couldn't help but feel glad that Jayden had punched the guy back and seemed to have won the fight. It actually made him feel somewhat proud of him. "But doesn't it hurt, still?" he asked, gesturing at Jayden's wing.
"It's still a bit sore, yeah," Jayden shrugged, making his wings move along with the twitch in his shoulders. "My mom keeps insisting I must put ointment on it every few hours." He chuckled a bit at that.
Noah looked up at that. "We have ointment if you want some?"
Jayden laughed out loud. "What are you? My mother?" he laughed, amused over the offer. "I'll be fine. My mom forced some on me before I came here, so don't worry. Besides, I can handle a bit of pain."
Noah rolled his eyes. "You are just as stubborn and proud as my alpha dad and brother," he muttered.
"It comes with being an alpha," Jayden just grinned, giving Noah a small wink which made Noah's stomach flutter in an odd way that he couldn't really interpret.
They finally sat down to get started with their project, starting out by brainstorming and sharing ideas before starting to write together.
Jayden totally broke the usual perception of teenage alphas being lazy in school and not caring at all about projects, homework, or getting good grades. The young alpha seemed just as determined to do a good job on the project as Noah was, which made their teamwork flow much easier.
Sometimes Jayden would crack a small joke about something in the project description which would make Noah laugh. It lit up the atmosphere to not be serious all the time, even though most of their attention was on making a good project.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
At 5:30pm their project was finally done. They had gone downstairs at 2:30 to each lunch with Dean and Castiel, and Noah had felt that Jayden had been nervous with Dean's eyes on him all the time even though the young alpha had tried not to let it show. Dean however hadn't given Jayden a hard time and had just asked a few questions about the project and about Jayden's football practice at school. Dean himself had played football in high school for a while so he was quite interested in it. Noah and Castiel had both listened to Dean and Jayden 'bond' over the football topic, sharing funny stories about their coaches and teammates, and Castiel smiled when he felt Dean soften up around the younger alpha. Their body language had softened up a bit around each other although Jayden still kept his wings and tail down in respect, but Dean wasn't puffing his feathers out that much anymore to display his status in the house.
Jayden packed up after their project was finished, folding his laptop together and put it into his shoulder bag.
Noah stood behind him, watching him and feeling somewhat sad that his friend had to leave already.
"My parents should be here in about ten minutes to pick me up," Jayden spoke. He had called them just now to tell them that the project was done and that he wanted to be picked up. He turned to face Noah and shifted a little uncomfortably. "And, um, can I use your restroom before I leave?" he asked, his cheeks flushing a bit.
Noah blinked in surprise before putting on a teasing smirk. "No."
Jayden's eyes widened before he realized that Noah was messing with him. He laughed a bit. "Oh c'mon. Please? I'm getting desperate here."
Noah laughed. "Of course you can, I was only messing with you."
"I know," Jayden grinned. "You almost had me panicking for a moment."
Noah chuckled and went over to the door. "I'll show you where it is." He led Jayden out into the hallway and showed him where the bathroom was. The alpha nodded and thanked him before heading over there, and Noah waited outside and held on to Jayden's shoulder bag until the alpha was done.
It was still so unfamiliar to Noah to have an alpha in the house who was not his family. He was a little surprised at himself at how familiar he had become around Jayden; showing sides of himself that he usually only showed his family or Abby and Christie. He felt relaxed around Jayden – especially when they were alone – and although it should maybe freak him out, Noah was quite happy about it.
He looked up when Jayden exited the bathroom and was smiling at him as he came over to get his bag from Noah.
"Thanks," Jayden smiled, placing his bag over his shoulder.
"You're welcome," Noah smiled back.
They headed downstairs, and Bella immediately came running into the entrance hall when she heard them and wagged her tail eagerly while seeking attention. Jayden grinned at the dog and patted her, and Noah smiled and rubbed Bella's muzzle and her forehead, making her pant happily.
Dean and Castiel appeared in the doorway, glancing between them.
"Did you finish the project?" Dean asked.
"Yep, we did. My parents are coming to pick me up any moment now, though," Jayden replied, still patting and petting Bella.
Dean frowned, feeling somewhat confused. "Your parents? You took the bus last time."
"Yeah, but my sister Laura was at some friend's house which is close to this neighborhood, so they told me they'd pick me up when I was ready and then pick up Laura as well," Jayden explained as he started to pull on his shoes.
Just as Jayden finished his sentence, a car pulled up into the driveway outside and shut the engine off.
"Oh, I think they're here already," Jayden said, somewhat surprised.
Castiel went to open the door when Jayden's parents walked up to it, and the two demon parents smiled when they saw him.
"Come on inside. Your son is almost ready," Castiel smiled, letting them into the house.
"Oh thank you. It is kind of cold outside," the dark blonde female demon chuckled and went inside with her alpha demon mate. She shook Castiel's offered hand with a smile after the angel had closed the door, and Castiel frowned and titled his head a bit when he thought she looked familiar.
Dean and Jayden's father shook hands as well, and Dean too was frowning when he had the feeling that he had seen Jayden's parents somewhere before.
"Do we know each other?" Castiel asked with a speculative frown on his face.
"I don't know… You seem familiar to me as well," the female demon replied, also frowning now.
Noah was looking between them in confusion, not understanding what was going on, while Jayden shifted somewhat uncomfortably next to his parents. Bella was over by Noah now, and she whined a bit when Noah's attention was on the others instead of on her.
Dean's eyes suddenly lit up in realization. "No way! Aren't you that demon couple that we used to meet pretty often at Noah's kindergarten once? The ones that moved to Michigan or something… Micah and Lori, was it…?"
Castiel's eyes lit up too, stunned as he finally recognized the two demons in front of him.
"Ohhh yes! And you're that angel/demon couple with the shy, little submissive son," the female demon grinned, having recognized them as well. "And my name is Leila, not Lori," she chuckled. "And this is so amazing! Seeing you again after all these years!"
"Ah right, I remember now," Micah said, grinning at them.
Noah blinked between them. "You know each other…?"
Everyone turned to look at him.
"Ohh, and you must be the little submissive boy from back then! Noah, was it? You have grown so much since I saw you in kindergarten," Leila smiled, only making Noah more confused.
"But wait," Dean started, frowning between Jayden and his family in confusion. "You were that kid Connor's parents, right? So Jayden is like… Connor's brother or what?" Both he and Castiel looked at Jayden now, and the young alpha shifted uncomfortably when everyone turned their attention to him. Noah's eyes widened at the mention of Connor's name.
Leila laughed and placed a hand on Jayden's shoulder. "No, Jayden is Connor. The silly boy just doesn't like his first name, so he tells everyone to call him by his middle name which is 'Jayden'. Even though there is absolutely nothing wrong with his first name." She scowled at Jayden who shrunk a bit and kept his wings pressed close to his body.
"Whoa, wait! Jayden is Connor?" Dean repeated, gaping at Jayden in complete disbelief, and Castiel did as well. They could both barely believe what they were hearing.
Noah's eyes were wider than ever as he stared at his friend in the biggest disbelief he had ever felt.
"Yeah, I'm Connor," Jayden confirmed, looking utterly uncomfortable as he glanced between Dean, Castiel, and Noah before turning to scowl at his parents. "And who the hell names their alpha son 'Connor' anyway? It's like the lamest of all lame names," Jayden – Connor – muttered, glaring at his mother who just rolled her eyes at him.
Micah snorted. "Oh c'mon. What about 'John Connor' from the Terminator series? You never had a problem with his name before."
"Because he rocks that name, and I don't!" Jayden mumbled out, sounding somewhat annoyed if not embarrassed now.
"Oh, you are being silly, Connor," Leila said, wrapping her arm around Jayden's shoulders and grinned when he tried to wriggle free.
"Stop calling me that, mom, please," Jayden groaned and went over to get his jacket instead. His jacket was hanging on the wall pretty close to Noah, and Jayden avoided his friend's eyes as he went over to get it, feeling too awkward to look at him.
"Y-You're Connor?" Noah stuttered out, still completely overwhelmed by the new information. He couldn't help but feel a sting of hurt and betrayal inside when he thought that Jayden/Connor had most likely known about him for a while now. The alpha hadn't seem surprised to find out that they went to kindergarten together, so Noah was sure that Connor had already recognized him a while ago.
"Yeah…" Jayden murmured, putting his bag down as he pulled on his jacket. He glanced at Noah from under his lashes. "I, uh, I'm sorry." Noah was looking at him with hurt and it made him shift guiltily.
"So did you move back here again from Michigan?" Dean asked, looking at Micah and Leila.
"We've moved from state to state because of my military job, but now we wanna settle down for good. So, we went back to the city where we met each other," Micah explained, smiling at Leila who smiled back at him.
Leila turned to look at them. "I don't mean to be rude, but we have to get going now; we have to pick up our daughter, so…"
"Oh, of course," Castiel spoke, stepping aside to let them have better access to the door. "It was nice meeting you again. Connor— um, I mean Jayden has been very polite while being here."
"Oh, I'm glad to hear that," Leila smiled. "Especially considering that he gets himself into bad situations sometimes." She glanced over at Jayden and glared a bit at him, making Jayden scrunch his nose at her in displeasure over her unnecessary comment.
Dean crossed his arms and glared in Jayden's direction. "Yeah, I remember one of those 'bad situations'…" he muttered, growling lowly as he remembered Connor touching Noah's wings in kindergarten all those years ago.
Jayden squirmed under Dean's glare and flinched when his father slapped his hand down on his shoulder with a laugh.
"I think we all remember that incident," Micah chuckled, leading Jayden with him over to the door.
"We're still sorry about that," Leila offered, glancing between Dean and Castiel and then over at Noah who was completely quiet now. "Thanks for having Jayden here. Maybe we'll see each other again at some point?" She smiled and shook their hands goodbye before leaving the house, and Micah did the same. Jayden too went forward to shake Dean and Castiel's hands, but he avoided looking Dean in the eye this time since he could feel him giving him a somewhat sharp stare now.
Jayden stopped in the door after his parents had gone outside and turned to cast a final glance back at Noah who was still standing by the stairs, looking back at him warily. "I'll see you on Monday," he said, in a voice that was less confident than usual, before nodding his goodbyes at Dean and Castiel and followed his parents over to their car in the driveway.
Noah just nodded at Jayden's words and didn't reply. He didn't really know how to feel right now.
After Jayden and his parents were gone, Dean closed the door with a heavy sigh. "Well, that was unexpected…"
Castiel nodded. "Yes, I did not even recognize him as Connor at all. He's grown so much."
"He was like seven last time we saw him, so that's not surprising… But now I'm not entirely sure anymore if he can be trusted or not…" Dean muttered, growling lightly.
Castiel rolled his eyes softly. "He must have had his reasons for not telling us and Noah that we know him from back then. And since he has never known us or Noah all that well and was not friends with Noah, there is actually nothing wrong with him not telling us about it." He cast a small glance in Noah's direction and was worried when his son was still standing by the stairs. Noah hadn't moved an inch and his eyes were fixed on the floor, and he petted Bella absently when the dog tried to get his attention. The angel could see that Noah was processing the situation thoroughly inside his head, but the hint of hurt on his son's face made Castiel worried.
"I guess so. He better keep his fucking hands off Noah's wings this time."
"Dean," Castiel groused and scowled at him. "They were little children back then," he reminded him.
"I'm going upstairs," Noah suddenly announced and turned to leave.
"Alright," Castiel replied, watching Noah walk up the stairs and hoped that the boy wasn't feeling too hurt about Jayden not having told him that they knew each other from before.
Noah went into his room, shutting the door quietly and went over to lie down on his bed, curling up on his side and cocooning his wings around him. He didn't know how to feel. He remembered Connor from kindergarten and remembered how uncomfortable he had used to feel around him since the boy had touched his wings. He had always been slightly afraid of him because of it, but in the last two weeks before Connor left he had actually been really nice to him – or had at least tried to be considering that Noah would often walk away when Connor came close to him. Noah couldn't quite understand why Jayden hadn't just told him who he really was.
Hundreds of questions swirled around inside his mind, and there was a tight feeling of hurt and confusion in his chest. He was going to have to confront Jayden about it on Monday and hear his side of the story before making any judgments.

Author's notes: And now the big surprise is revealed! XD From the very moment that I created Connor's character I was planning to have him return later in the story under a different name, making both Noah and my wonderful readers completely unaware that it was actually Connor. It has been pretty fun for me to see your reactions to Jayden and how some of you wanted Connor to appear instead – without knowing that they were actually the very same person all along XD So yeah, I had fun (even if it makes me feel kinda mean now XD). The idea of it was developed when I discussed Noah's future mate with my beta iloveanime9251, and a lot of the plot has been shaped and developed through discussions with her, so without my beta the story would not be what it is today. So thank you so much to her! :)
The chapters that Connor previously appeared in were chapter 38 and chapter 46, in case you don't remember.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed the chapter :) Please review!
