March 2042 (Castiel is 52, Dean is 54, Eden is 28, Adrian is 25, the twins are 21, Noah is 15 (almost 16), Jayden is 17).
Spring arrived but the racists were still being vicious. Dean and Castiel still made sure not to look too much like mates when they were in public, even though it went against all their instincts not to share affectionate gestures with each other.
It was Wednesday and Dean and Castiel dropped off Noah in front of the high school. Noah was about to open the car door and jump out when he saw Max and some of his friends walking by on the sidewalk near the car. He shrunk into the seat and hesitated with opening the door, praying that Max wouldn't see him in the car.
"What's wrong?" Castiel asked when Noah wasn't exiting the car.
"Max is there… I'd rather wait until he's gone…" Noah murmured, watching his tormentor from the car and waited for Max and his gang to reach a proper distance.
"I take it that brat still harasses you?" Dean asked, glancing at Noah in the rearview mirror and saw him nod quietly. "I thought Jayden was keeping him away lately?"
"He is, but Jayden isn't around right now, and Max still harasses me when Jayden isn't nearby…" Noah replied. He glanced out the car again and sighed in relief when Max was finally far away. He finally opened the car door to step out into the sunny morning weather. "Thanks for dropping me off. See you later."
"Yes, see you later. Have a nice day," Castiel answered, turning his head and smiled at Noah even though he couldn't see him that well from the front seat.
"And be careful in the swim center when you go there today," Dean told him, hint of protectiveness in his voice.
Noah rolled his eyes. "I'll be alright, dad. Bye." He shut the car door and lifted his shoulder bag up on his shoulder, waving at his parents as they drove off down the street.
He smiled as he watched the car leave, but was then suddenly bumped into from behind, almost causing him to fall on his nose. Luckily he managed to gain his balance in time, but he was pretty sure that he had looked like a clumsy idiot just now. He turned to see who had bumped into him, and to his big dread it was Jayden's old jock friend Justin.
"Watch it, freak. Wouldn't wanna hurt that pretty slut face of yours on the pavement, would you? Jayden might think you'd be too ugly to look at while you blow him, then," Justin said with a malicious smirk, and his buddies laughed behind him.
Noah didn't say anything and kept his face as straight as he could, glaring back at Justin as the alpha and the other jocks continued laughing as they headed up to the school. Glancing around, he saw a few more people scrunch their noses in disgust when they spotted him while others just walked by without really paying him any attention. A few of them gave him small, polite smiles, but Noah didn't know them so they were probably just being polite to a random stranger.
Noah sighed and headed over to the school's sign which was located by the sidewalk. It was where he always met up with Abby and Christie in the mornings, and he waited there for them to appear. He was a bit early today, but otherwise they were often there before him.
A text message on his phone distracted him a for a bit, and he looked at it to see that it was Abby writing him to go in without her since she was sick today. Christie would likely still be coming though, so he would just wait for her.
Suddenly there was a poke on his lower leg, and Noah flinched and quickly swirled around to look at the person he could sense was standing behind him. His entire body slumped in relief when he saw it was Jayden.
Jayden grinned at him and curled his tail next to him. He had just used it to poke Noah with. "Sorry, I couldn't resist."
"It's okay, but you frightened me a bit," Noah said, a faint red color painting his cheeks as he glanced up at the alpha.
Jayden just smiled before saying, "You waiting for Christie and Abby?"
"Yeah… But Abby is sick so I'm just waiting for Christie now."
"I'll wait here with you then, since we all have biology for first period."
Noah smiled somewhat shyly. "Thanks. I don't like standing here by myself anyway…"
"Well, most people in our school are pricks anyway, so I don't blame you," Jayden said, glancing around the people who walked past them on their way into school.
They looked up when Christie finally appeared, and she smiled widely as she came over to them. "Hey, guys. Ready for biology with our dearest Mr. Allen?" she asked, giggling a bit.
Noah's nose scrunched up at that, as did Jayden's.
"'Dearest' is one of the last words I would use about him," Jayden muttered and walked with them towards the school building.
Christie laughed. "I know; I was being purely sarcastic. We all know you wanna smother him in his sleep."
"Well, sorry that I can't stand him," Jayden grumbled, making Noah giggle a bit.
They headed inside, gathering their books from their lockers, and Jayden sent Max a sharp glare when the angel passed them and was sneering at Noah. Max quickly hurried off towards his own class, not liking to be anywhere near Jayden, and the alpha demon huffed in satisfaction as he saw him take off. They still had P.E. class with Max, but he always avoided Jayden as much as he could, which Noah was very happy about since P.E. class used to be the time where he was bullied the most.
The three of them entered their biology classroom, and Jayden sat down in a free seat behind Noah and Christie, making sure that people would have difficulties throwing something at Noah during class.
Everyone stopped talking when Mr. Allen entered – stiff and serious as always – and watched him cast an indifferent look around the class before doing the usual name call. When he had called all their names, an almost malicious smirk formed on his lips as he turned on the projector and plugged his laptop into it. "So," he began, "today we've finally reached a topic that I think most of the guys in here will find pretty interesting: how the body reacts to a mating bond – especially female and submissives' bodies."
The girls groaned while most of the guys cheered, and Noah stared up at Mr. Allen in horror and disbelief. The sex education classes when he was 12 and 13 had been embarrassing enough, but to have his biology teacher go through mating bonds and the body's reaction to it was downright horrifying – especially since he was the only submissive in the entire class. There was only one other submissive at the school at the moment, but he was a freshman and Noah didn't even know him.
He could already feel the guys' objectifying looks on him, and he shrank into his seat a little and wished to be invisible.
"God, why this topic?" Christie muttered next to him, keeping her voice low so that Mr. Allen wouldn't hear. She hated the topic as well since it made the guys (at least the immature ones) act like perverts.
Noah dared a small glance over his shoulder at Jayden, who didn't seem particularly into the subject either, but he also didn't look like he minded it much.
The teacher started off explaining how mating bonds were formed, after which he went into how females' and submissives' bodies began their heat cycle once the bond was formed. Noah absently took notes and purposefully didn't look at any of the guys while listening to Mr. Allen's teaching.
"Now, a female angel or demon can conceive a child before they are mated and before they have their first heat," Mr. Allen explained, "but once they are mated their ovulation is strengthened and becomes what we call 'heat', and the chances of conceiving are dramatically increased." His voice and face was blank as he explained, and he pointed at his Power Point every now and then. "Submissives are different: they do not ovulate before mating and entering their heat, and are thus not fertile until then. But once they enter their heat they are much more fertile than females, and the chances of conception during intercourse are almost a hundred percent. If of course their genes aren't messed up," he added, sending a brief, evil smirk at Noah before continuing.
Noah flushed and stared into his laptop's keyboard, feeling humiliated when some of the guys laughed and snickered.
Jayden growled at his former friends when they smirked mockingly at Noah before turning his attention back to the class.
Mr. Allen continued his teaching. "During the heat a submissive will be extra responsive to his mate's touch, and the heat will not be satisfied unless the mate comes inside him, so unprotected sex is advised in order to please the sub. Females are much the same, but they are easier satisfied even without their mate's semen inside them."
"Subs are fucking come sluts!" one of the guys slurred, making many of the others laugh.
Noah shrunk even further down into his seat, and Christie glanced at him in sympathy. Jayden just growled, displeased with the rude comment, but he didn't say anything because he had already gotten into enough trouble with Mr. Allen over the past month. Mr. Allen didn't like it when Jayden accused him of ignoring the rude behaviors towards Noah and claimed he was a bad teacher, and it pissed Jayden off even more when Mr. Allen punished him for speaking his mind about it.
"Well, they do have a biological need to be satisfied with their mate's semen and submit to him," Mr. Allen agreed with a smirk on his lips.
Noah continued keeping his head down as there was more laughter, and Mr. Allen continued talking about self-lubrication, location of the uterus in a submissive, and about angel females' and submissives' oil glands. He blushed especially much when the teacher talked about how submissives were known to be extra sensitive and where the sensitive spots were located, and how once they were mated, a sub's body would more or less only respond sexually to his mate's scent and not to other males'.
It was a huge relief when class was finally over, and Noah felt like he was dying from the warmth inside his body because of all the blushing. He still avoided meeting anyone's eyes since the guys were acting kind of perverted towards the girls now, and their objectifying glances towards Noah had increased.
"I thought this class would never end," Christie murmured next to him, packing her laptop together.
"Me too…" Noah replied, packing his stuff away too to get ready for the next class.
Jayden was packing up his laptop behind them when Colin approached him. "Hey, Jay. Aren't you gonna mate your little bitch soon to really get something out of his little, slutty hole?" he teased, laughing out loud.
Jayden sneered, clenching his fists to control his anger. "How about you mate with someone who can do something about your asshole instead? It seems it has a direct connection to your mouth, with all that shit flowing out of it. You must have a very nasty taste in your mouth whenever you go to sleep, and god am I glad I don't have to kiss it."
The girls who had overheard it snickered and giggled like mad, and some of the guys laughed, making Colin's face go completely red. He growled and took a threatening step towards Jayden who stood his ground and stared him right into the eyes.
"You'll fucking regret this," Colin growled before leaving the classroom angrily.
"Whatever," Jayden huffed, packing his laptop away.
"Nice," Christie smirked. "He had it coming for a while."
"Yeah, and a lot more too," Jayden murmured. "Are you joining Noah and me at the swim center today?" he asked, looking at Christie. He and Noah went to the swim center twice a week, and sometimes Abby, Christie, and/or Amanda would join them.
"No, I can't go today, it seems you'll have to go on your own. Which I'm sure you won't mind," Christie said, smirking between them.
Noah blushed a bit at her words and nodded quietly.
"Oh," Jayden said, looking at Noah now. "I'll follow you to your next class now, and then we can meet up outside after school at 2:30."
"Okay, thanks," Noah smiled, leaving the classroom with Jayden and Christie when they were ready to go.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
After school Noah and Jayden met up and started walking towards the swim center. It was the first time that they were going there alone, and Noah felt both excited and nervous about it.
They had just left the school's property and were walking down the sidewalk when suddenly a dark-haired demon girl ran over and stopped in front of Jayden.
"Jayden! So glad I caught you before you left," the girl grinned. She stood so close to him that Jayden took a small step back, and Noah saw her send a small glare in his direction before all her attention was on Jayden again.
"Uh, hi, Jolie," Jayden said, not feeling particularly happy to see her.
"I was wondering if you wanna hook up in the weekend? It's been so long," Jolie purred, placing a seductive hand on Jayden's chest, and Noah found himself glaring daggers at her and puff his feathers out slightly.
"Uh, no thanks."
Jolie frowned in disappointment and confusion, but her hand stayed on Jayden's chest. "Why not? We've had awesome hook-ups before," she reminded him.
"Well, I'm not interested," Jayden insisted, shifting impatiently and hoped she would just leave soon. The hand on his chest felt wrong and annoying, but she still wasn't removing it.
Jolie glanced at Noah then, narrowing her eyes dangerously at him. "Oh. Is it because you've found yourself a nice slut now or what?"
Jayden growled and reached up to grab her hand, removing it from his chest and puffed his feathers out slightly. "The only slut here is you, and Noah is my friend, so back off."
Noah couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction when he saw the shocked look on Jolie's face, and how she looked even more baffled when Jayden pushed past her and continued walking. Noah glanced back at her before following after Jayden who was still pretty annoyed by Jolie.
"Gosh, why are some girls so clingy," Jayden muttered once they were they a good distance away from her.
"I don't know. I don't have that problem," Noah replied, smirking a bit.
Jayden laughed. "Yeah, be glad. I mean, most girls are nice, but some of them just don't respect your boundaries."
"Did you sleep with that girl once?" Noah asked before he could help himself, and he felt a little stupid about it when Jayden turned his head to look at him in surprise.
"Uh, yeah, once or twice. It was nothing serious, it was just sex."
"So she wasn't your girlfriend…?"
Jayden chuckled. "No. I've only had one girlfriend once, at my previous school, but that didn't last very long… I felt more friendship for her than romance, so it didn't work out," he explained with a somewhat sad smile.
"Oh." Noah let the information sink in. He couldn't help that tight feeling of jealousy in his chest when knowing that others had been with Jayden in an intimate way. "I haven't had a relationship before…" he confessed.
Jayden chuckled again. "I kind of figured that, but you're also two years younger than me, so…"
They walked a bit in silence after that before beginning to talk about their classes that day.
Noah enjoyed hanging out with Jayden while no one else was there, and to have Jayden's attention all for himself. He loved to watch Jayden's face whenever the alpha was talking about a funny experience he had had, and how his tail moved according to his mood and the flow of the conversation.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
They reached the swim center and went inside, and once again Noah felt awkward and exposed in his speedos. He was extra shy today since he was there alone with Jayden with only one piece of clothing on their bodies.
After they met up inside the swim hall, they headed over to the longest pool and got in. There was quite a few people in it, but Jayden made sure to stay between Noah and the strangers – especially when he saw some of the boys staring intensely at Noah.
They swam around, chatting and splashing water at each other, and Noah soon felt less shy and more confident in Jayden's presence.
"Wanna race over to the other end of the pool?" Jayden asked, a big grin on his face. They used their feet and wings to stay afloat in the water, since it was the deep pool they were in.
"Sure, but I think you'll beat me to it…" Noah replied, chuckling softly. He used his hand to remove some of the wet hairs that were sticking to his forehead and getting into his eyes, and Jayden's hair was also wet and covered some of his forehead.
"We'll see. You're not as heavy as me, so you'll likely be faster."
Noah smiled. "Maybe."
They got ready for their small race, and Noah was all over by the long edge of the pool so that he only had Jayden next to him. They positioned themselves at the shorter edge, preparing to swim, and Jayden glanced at Noah with a smirk before doing a countdown from three. Both of them immediately starting swimming when the countdown was over, and people got out of their way when they noticed them swimming in their direction. A few others were also racing in the large pool.
To Noah it was pretty exhausting but also exciting, and he was careful not to accidentally push his wing, arm, or leg into Jayden while swimming next to him.
Noah finally reached the other end of the pool, shaking his head to get the water off his face, and he grinned in triumph when Jayden was three seconds behind him.
Jayden gasped for air and ran a hand down his face to get the water out of his eyes and nose, and laughed when he noticed he had been defeated. "Damn, you're fast."
"I win! Loser," Noah mocked teasingly, sticking his tongue out at him and grinned.
Jayden just grinned, and his tail twisted below the water in content. Spending time with Noah was something he really enjoyed; especially when Noah would get playful and teasing and break out of his shy shell for him.
"You won't beat me on the way the back," Jayden challenged him with a smug smirk.
"We'll see about that," Noah grinned, gladly accepting the challenge.
They swam back to the other end, and this time they reached it at the same time. They continued racing each other like that three more times until they were exhausted, and Jayden won the last two rounds since his stamina in the water was better.
Noah held on to the edge of the pool as they finished the final round, panting from exhaustion. Swimming was nice exercise, and Noah could already feel his wings getting stronger from the time he had spent in the swim center lately.
"Wanna get out of the water and head over to get a soda?" Jayden asked, gesturing at the small café that was located inside the swim center next to the pools. You could buy some drinks and small sandwiches there, and the employees kept a close eye on people to make sure that no one brought anything with them into the water. The café was located close to the big pool they were in and right next to some big windows which had a nice view of a pond in the small park area outside.
"Yeah, I could use a small break," Noah replied, smiling a bit, and made his way over to the ladder so he could get out.
Jayden followed him, glancing around at the other people in the pool. He let Noah climb out first, and blushed when Noah's butt and feathers were suddenly right in front of his face because he had forgotten to keep his distance as Noah climbed up. Luckily Noah hadn't noticed, otherwise it would have been extra awkward, and he discretely pressed the heel of his palm against his dick under the water to suppress the erection that had threatened to appear when he got that perfect view of the submissive's ass.
Noah glanced down at Jayden as the alpha began climbing out of the pool, and soon Jayden was standing next to him with water running down his lean body and wings. Noah blushed a bit before shaking his wings a little to get rid of some of the water in them, and Jayden did the same.
"Be careful not to slip," Jayden warned him, seeing as the tiles were wet and slippery where they were standing. He had already seen a few kids slip on them today.
Noah nodded and turned to walk, but of course he put his foot on one of the most slippery spots on the floor, causing him to lose balance. He yelped loudly, flailing his arms and wings and felt himself fall, only to feel Jayden grab his arm real quick. Noah instinctively turned so that he would fall into Jayden for steadiness instead of ending up on the floor, and in the next moment his face was suddenly pressed tightly against Jayden's muscled, naked chest.
Noah's face went crimson red when he found himself with his face pressed into Jayden's wet chest, and their arms were grabbing at each other to hold them both steady. It was the first real physical contact that Noah had ever had with Jayden, and he quickly flinched away and stared back at Jayden in absolute horror and mortification.
Jayden chuckled, amusement all over his face. "I told you to be careful."
Noah almost couldn't blush harder. "I-I'm so sorry! I'm so clumsy…!" He cringed and internally cursed at himself for being so careless and such a klutz.
A few people stared at them as they walked by, and Noah lowered his head and avoided their eyes. He wrapped his wings around himself, hiding both his body and himself from others' view.
"No problem. I'm just glad you didn't fall and hurt yourself," Jayden said, chuckling again. "If I remember correctly, you used to fall a lot in kindergarten as well."
Noah groaned. "You remember that?"
"Oh yeah. I used to watch you a lot," Jayden grinned. His eyes widened when he realized how that sounded. "Uh, in a non-stalker way of course. I was just a kid." He cringed a bit at himself.
Noah blushed a bit. "Yeah, I know. I did notice you looking at me sometimes."
Jayden rubbed the back of his neck a bit. "So… let's head over to the café. Don't slip again," he said, grinning teasingly at Noah and began walking.
Noah nodded and took small, careful steps on the wet floor, not daring to make a fool of himself again. It went very slow, and he blinked up at Jayden when the alpha held out his arm.
"I, uh, I can steady you if you want? You can just grab onto my arm," Jayden offered, hoping that he wasn't too bold with the offer.
Noah hesitated for a few moments before nodding, accepting the offer and grabbed onto the alpha's arm to keep himself steady. It was weird touching Jayden, but also fascinating in a way. The alpha's forearm was much more muscled and masculine than his own, and he felt the muscles flex under his hand as he held onto it.
They went over to the café, and Noah let out a relieved sigh once he was seated at one of the small chairs without having fallen on his way over. They wore wristbands with a small chip inside, and they used the chips to pay their order. Since they were members of the swim center they could put money into their account to use to buy stuff from the café with.
Noah protested when Jayden paid for his order as well, but the alpha just smiled and insisted on it, saying that Noah could make it up to him later. Noah gave in, and they enjoyed their sodas before going back into the water again until it was time to go home.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Castiel noticed that Noah was feeling unusually happy that they when they picked him up from the swim center. Jayden had waited with him outside the building until Dean and Castiel arrived, and Castiel had thanked the young alpha for waiting there with Noah.
Noah was smiling in the backseat, and Castiel could see him a bit in the side mirror of the car. It made him smile too, relieved that things had gotten so much better for his son this year compared to how it was last year. He knew that Noah was still being harassed, but it seemed that Jayden's presence and their friendship had had a lot of positive effects on Noah. Dean, on the other hand, was still being protective, although he had admitted a bit that he didn't mistrust Jayden anymore.
Castiel rolled his eyes when Dean turned up the volume on Eye of the Tiger which was airing on the radio, and Noah giggled from the backseat when Dean started singing along and was hitting the steering wheel in accordance to the rhythm.
"Dean, you are such a child," Castiel commented, rolling his eyes. He had to raise his voice a bit for Dean to even hear him.
"What was that?" Dean asked, bring his hand up to his ear to indicate he was trying to hear him better. "Can't hear you 'cause of the awesome music, Cas. You'll have to speak louder!" He laughed then, putting his hand back on the steering wheel and kept singing along while nodding his head to the music.
Castiel rolled his eyes even more, letting out an annoyed groan that was deafened by the music. "There's no sex for a month!" he retorted, saying it just as loud as he said his previous sentence.
Dean's foot hit the brakes, and luckily they were in a nearby neighborhood to their house so there weren't many cars and no one was behind them. He drove extremely slow while he turned his head to stare at Cas in horror. "What?! Why?" he demanded, looking nervous and panicking.
Noah couldn't help but laugh at that, but also blush, and Castiel laughed out loud as well while Dean turned down the music to better hear him.
"I was joking, Dean. I just wanted to test whether or not you could actually hear me, but I guess even the loud music did not stop you from hearing what I just said," Castiel explained, chuckling in amusement.
"Jeez, Cas… Don't scare me like that," Dean muttered, hitting the speeder again and drove through the neighborhood at the maximum allowed speed.
Castiel just chuckled, amused with how he could always make Dean freak out if he told him that he was banning sex. Although Dean was perverted and extremely sex-addicted, Castiel kind of liked that about him. It led to great sex, and Castiel's self-esteem got a boost whenever he was the sole object of Dean's attention and felt how much his mate adored and desired him.
They came home and took Bella out for a walk since she was all hyper and eager to go. It had become a routine now to walk her together when they came home, where Noah used to walk her on his own when coming home from school.
They went to the nearby park again, hoping that they wouldn't encounter too many racists.
The angel that had been lingering outside their house was still around, but he seemed more cautious now that Dean was aware of his presence. Their fence had been vandalized a few more times since January, and Dean had to paint the garage and one of the house walls to get of racist remarks that were written on them. Garbage had been dropped on their doorstep or in the driveway sometimes just to harass them, it was pissing Dean off. He was considering getting a camera and install it above the garage to film the driveway and the doorstep, but according to Mrs. Tran – who had seen the culprit twice now – the guy was wearing a mask so the video wouldn't help much. Mrs. Tran had alerted the police when she saw the person (and in one case even two people) vandalizing the house, but when the police got there the culprits were gone, and Mrs. Tran had been too scared to confront them by herself.
They walked around the park, but Dean kept a little distance to Cas since they didn't want to get harassed. Noah was walking with Bella, and he found a free spot on the grass where he could take her off the leash and play some Frisbee with her.
Dean and Castiel watched, chatting a bit about their day, until Dean suddenly noticed someone approaching them. His face lit up when he spotted his angel colleague Mike heading over to them.
"Hey, Mike! What are you doing here?" Dean grinned, pulling Mike into a friendly hug.
"I was out jogging, as you can see," Mike said, gesturing at his jogging outfit after they pulled away from the hug. He smiled at Castiel when the submissive angel stepped forward. "Hey, Castiel. Nice seeing you again." He shook his hand firmly.
"It's nice seeing you again too. I hope you are doing well?" Castiel spoke, stepping back to stand next to Dean.
"Yep, I'm fine," Mike replied, grinning widely. He glanced over at Noah when the boy approached them warily with Bella on the leash again. "Oh, you must be Noah."
Noah nodded and shook Mike's hand when the alpha angel reached out his hand towards him. "Yes, it's nice to meet you." Bella barking up at Mike, wagging her tail and panting happily, and Mike grinned.
"Hey, I was wondering if you have five minutes to discuss something work-related?" Mike said, looking at Dean who was mildly surprised by that.
"Can't you just talk to me about it tomorrow?" Dean asked, raising a brow.
"Tomorrow I'll have forgotten what I wanted to say. I just suddenly got an idea for an extra service we can provide."
Dean glanced at Cas who nodded his okay at him. "Alright. Five minutes," Dean said, going with Mike over to a bench to discuss what Mike had to say.
Castiel turned to Noah then and gently moved a few hairs away from his son's forehead. It was still strange for him that Noah was so tall now, even though the boy wasn't as tall as him and probably never would be. "You seem to be in a very good mood today, Noah."
"So? It was a nice day. Well, the last part of it was… Mr. Allen was uncomfortable, as always," Noah replied, glancing down at Bella and patted her head.
Castiel frowned in concern. "Maybe Dean and I should have a talk with your principal. That teacher is very much out of line, and I will not tolerate him being rude to you."
"Jayden says the same; he also wants to have a talk with the principal," Noah said, chuckling softly.
Castiel watched the small twitch on Noah's lips as he talked about Jayden, and how his face suddenly looked much happier. He smiled at that.
Noah glanced up at Castiel from under his lashes before looking away, only to glance at him again. "Um… Can I ask you something, papa?"
"Of course you can."
Noah hesitated and played absently with Bella's leash while the dog was now rolling around in the grass happily. "Um… How do you know if you're in love with someone?" he asked, glancing up and meeting Castiel's eyes.
Castiel was mildly surprised by that question, and he ignored the cheerful screams of playing children somewhere behind him and instead kept his gaze on Noah. "Well, there are many ways to tell. When I started falling in love with Dean I would feel excitement and fluttering in my stomach whenever I looked at him, and I would stare a lot at his alpha traits and the things that made him attractive, as well as feeling very content in his presence. And when you're in love with someone then you feel very sad when they are not around, and you cannot wait to be with them again."
Noah nodded quietly, letting the words sink in.
Castiel smiled knowingly. "Is this about Jayden?"
Noah shifted in embarrassment and looked at the ground. "Um…"
"Don't be ashamed or embarrassed about it; it's natural to fall in love. And I can tell that Jayden makes you happy," Castiel spoke, a warm smile on his face.
"I just really like being around him," Noah confessed, doing some shy movements with his feet and glanced up at Cas from under his lashes every now and then. "And he makes me be myself and show sides of myself that I often don't show others, even though I do feel kinda shy around him sometimes. And he makes my stomach feel funny."
"As long as he treats you nicely and with respect then I do not mind you being with him – whether as a friend or something more."
Noah blushed and Castiel let the topic drop for now since he could tell that his son was super embarrassed. They waited until Dean and Mike were done talking and before leaving the park.
They walked back towards the house, chatting and talking, and Bella yanked on the leash all the time since she was eager to smell up every lamppost they passed. A few of the neighborhood kids were playing on the sidewalk, laughing and having fun, and adding to the quiet atmosphere.
They had almost reached the house when they saw two men walking down the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street.
Dean's feathers sharpened and a low growl came from his throat when he recognized one of the guys on the sidewalk as being the beta angel he had seen outside their house lately. Before Castiel could stop him, Dean was stalking across the street with spread-out wings and a furious face.
"What the fuck are you doing watching my house all the time?!" Dean roared.
The beta angel flinched in surprise, and he and the alpha angel next to him immediately went into a defensive pose and growled at Dean.
"And what the fuck is a blood traitor and his freak children doing in a nice neighborhood like this?" the beta sneered back.
"Dean, please don't—" Castiel began when he could tell that his mate was about to attack.
Dean snarled and charged at the guy, but the alpha angel (who appeared to be in his 30s, like the beta was) immediately came to the beta's aid and punched Dean. It made Dean even angrier, and soon the two angels were punching and kicking at Dean who returned each attack and lashed out at them with his sharp wings.
Noah gasped in horror, hiding behind Castiel who had been trying to talk Dean out of the fight but had now given up and was watching the scene in fear.
The four kids who had been playing were now screaming and crying in panic, and they ran off towards their houses. A few neighbors came out of their homes to look, all gasping in horror when they saw the fight.
"Dean!" Castiel shouted in horror when the alpha angel managed to knock Dean to the ground so that Dean was lying on his back on the asphalt.
Bella was barking like mad, but Noah held on tightly to her leash since he didn't want her to get in trouble for biting someone. He watched in horror as Castiel suddenly ran over to the scene.
"Please stop it! We can solve this without violence!" Castiel argued, stopping a few feet away from them. He wanted to come over to Dean, but the beta was blocking his way, and Dean was in a heavy fight with the alpha who had sat down on top of him now. Dean and the alpha angel began rolling around, trying to gain the upper hand in the fight, and Castiel flinched whenever he heard and saw the alpha punch at Dean who responded with an aggressive snarl and punched back.
"Only if you leave this area, you filthy abomination!" the beta spat at him.
"We are not leaving!" Castiel grit out, spreading his wings in anger. His body was trembling with fear since he was not comfortable at all with physical confrontations, and adrenaline pumped through his body now that the aggressive beta stood in front of him. He was scared, but he was determined to stand his ground.
The beta chuckled maliciously. "Why, aren't you a cute sub. Such a good slut for your demon mate too, I bet." He eyed Castiel's body almost hungrily, and Castiel shifted in discomfort under the objectifying gaze.
Noah was standing in front of their house now while the fight was taking place across the street. He could hear what was being said, and he didn't know what to do now that Dean was in a physical fight with someone and the beta angel was acting perverted towards Castiel. Whenever he took a step forward to approach, Castiel would hold out his arm to tell him to stay back, so he stayed in front of the house with Bella and watched the scene anxiously.
Dean snarled when he noticed what was going on between Cas and the beta, and he felt his mate's discomfort through the bond. "Stay the fuck away from my mate!" he snarled at the beta after having sent the alpha angel to the ground with a solid punch.
The alpha angel didn't stay down, though.
Dean got up and was about to head over to the beta to make him back away from Cas when he noticed too late that the alpha was back on his feet. He turned his head, expecting a blow to his face when he saw the alpha's fist close in on him in a matter of seconds, but suddenly the alpha was yanked back, and Dean heard him yelp before the angel was thrown to the ground.
Dean quickly looked up to see what had happened, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw Brad standing there; his sharp wings spread out and his eyes fixed on the alpha angel who was moaning in pain on the ground now.
Brad looked up, and his and Dean's eyes met.
"Thanks," Dean croaked, still stunned to have been saved by Brad – his racist neighbor who had always hated him.
Brad nodded, as if telling him that he was welcome, and growled down at the alpha angel when the guy stirred and got to his feet. The angel snarled back at him and charged, taking a swing at Brad but Dean came up from behind and yanked the guy back by pulling at his wing, stopping him from landing the punch, while Brad was free to throw a punch in the guy's face.
Dean and Brad shared a victorious smirk when the guy was sent to the ground again and seemed to have given up, before going over to the beta who was taking cautious steps backwards now that he had two angry alpha demons in front of him.
"Uh, I was just—" the beta stuttered, eyeing them warily, and Dean could see the fear in his eyes.
"Just what? Ogling my mate? Vandalizing my house? Harassing my family? You're gonna get a fucking big stamp on your criminal record for this, you ass," Dean growled, cornering the guy up against a tree by the sidewalk with his wings spread out. He knew the display looked intimidating to an angel, with his feathers all sharps like knives and with his large wingspan, and it pleased him to see fear cover the beta's face now.
"And you've vandalized my mailbox as well, haven't you? You're gonna pay for that," Brad growled, crossing his arms. He was keeping an eye on the alpha angel as well, who was still moaning in pain on the ground behind them.
"On your mailbox?" Dean asked, turning his head to stare at Brad in confusion and surprise.
Brad grunted. "I'll tell you about it later," he grumbled.
Mrs. Tran had called the police when she saw what was going on, and they were on the scene within minutes. Dean and Brad made sure that the two angels didn't escape, and Castiel had gone over to Noah to comfort him since the boy was still kinda freaked out.
Jody Mills was on the scene, and she seemed happy to finally be closing the case about the vandalism and stalking that Dean and Castiel had experienced.
An ambulance had arrived to take the injured alpha angel away (though he was still under arrest), and the paramedics took a look at Dean as well since he was pretty beat up too. Castiel rolled his eyes when Dean refused to get looked at at first, and how he kept insisting he was fine even though he was covered in cuts and bruises. Eventually Dean gave in and let the paramedics treat him.
The neighbors' kids had calmed down as well, and the neighbors seemed relieved that the ones who had been lurking around the area had finally been caught.
After the ambulance and police had left with the two guys and had gotten statements from them, Dean went over to Brad to thank him.
"Thanks for having my back. I hadn't expected that but it was appreciated," Dean said, smiling a bit at Brad. Castiel and Noah were a few feet behind them, quietly listening in.
"You're welcome, Winchester," Brad replied casually. "The entire neighborhood and all the kids were freaking out because of the fight, so I had to do something…"
"Why did they paint on your mailbox as well?" Dean asked, a curious frown on his face. It made no sense to him that the racists with vandalize another racist's property.
Brad chuckled. "Believe it or not, but my oldest son went and mated with an angel/human hybrid. I guess those two heard about it."
Dean, Castiel, and Noah's eyes all widened at that.
"I was never into all that cross-species mating, even if it's with the human hybrids, but it was like God or someone slapped me in the face and told me to deal with it. I've gotten more used to being around angels now… Though it hasn't been easy, but I love my son and I have to respect his choices. Love is love, I guess…"
"Oh, wow. Didn't see that one coming," Dean said, blinking in disbelief.
Brad glanced over at Castiel as he continued speaking. "We've lived in the same neighborhood for years now, and I've always resented you because my father taught me that demons don't mingle with angels; that it's against our nature to mate with each other. But in the years I've seen you and Dean be together, I've seen that you genuinely care for each other, and you have been a good mother to your kids – which I always respect in a sub. I haven't turned completely soft yet and I wouldn't wanna hang out too much with you guys, but I don't mind your presence anymore. If anyone threatens you and Dean because of your relationship, I will have your backs even if we aren't friends."
Castiel blinked at Brad, both stunned and positively surprised by his words. "Thank you, that means a lot to us," he spoke with a friendly smile. Noah nodded next to him.
Dean grinned. "I didn't take you for the chick-flick kind of guy, Braddie," he teased.
Brad glared at him and a faint red color appeared on his cheeks. "Shut up, Winchester," he grumbled, annoyed, and turned to walk back to his house and his mate. There was a slight twitch on his lip, as if he was about to smile, that made Dean grin.
When Brad was gone Castiel came over in front of Dean to inspect his injuries. He cringed as he trailed his fingers over Dean's split lip and the small bandages on his cheek and eyebrow. He was probably going to be blue and purple all over, and he would need to get the rest of the blood washed off his face soon.
Dean just smiled at him and gently caught his wrist, bringing the angel's hand up to his mouth and placed a soft kiss on it. "Don't worry. I'm fine."
"No you aren't. You're hurt," Castiel spoke, his voice soft and concerned, and he looked at Dean's bruises with a worried frown. "I don't like seeing you like this…"
Dean smiled and pulled Castiel against his body, embracing him and running his hand up and down the angel's back for comfort.
Noah watched them with a small smile, although he didn't like it when Dean was injured either. The fight had been very intense, and he was still a little shaken over it. Bella was sitting next to him, panting and looking around curiously. Most people in the neighborhood had gone back to their houses again, and Mrs. Tran had just left as well.
Castiel sighed contently and leaned into Dean, although he was careful not to press himself too hard against the alpha's sore body. He gently pulled back from the embrace after a while and looked up at Dean. "Let's go back inside. I will make us a quick dinner."
"Sounds good," Dean grinned, wrapping an arm around Cas' waist and went inside with him. He glanced back at Noah to make sure he was following them.
They went back into the house together, glad that the drama and violence was finally over.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
That night, Noah went into his room at 9:30, preparing to go to sleep.
Castiel had made them dinner and Dean had spent most of the night on the couch, trying to act tough even though both Noah and Castiel could tell that he was sore and hurting. At least he hadn't been seriously injured. They were all relieved that the stalker and his pal had been caught now, and were hoping that there would be no more vandalism of their property.
When Noah entered his room he wasn't feeling quite ready to sleep yet. He lay down on his bed, still dressed in his normal clothes, and stared at the ceiling for a bit, thinking about the events that day.
His thoughts immediately went to Jayden and there was a weird, exciting sensation in his stomach as he thought about him. It was like a thousand small butterflies swirling around in there, and it made him smile and squirm a bit. Seeing Jayden in that square leg swimsuit always did weird things to Noah's body, and he mostly couldn't take his eyes off the alpha's wet body when they swam together. The way his dark red wings glistered when they were wet looked really fascinating.
Noah squirmed and frowned slightly when there was a weird, hot sensation in his body, and he could feel his ass getting wet. It felt strange and yet good – like when he was secretly looking at his dirty magazines or accidentally encountered some stuff on the internet with half-naked men.
He gasped softly and rolled over on his side, shivering when his wing rubbed against the bed as he rolled over and sent shivers up his spine. He had been aroused before but he had never really done anything about it. He had once pressed his hand against the bulge that appeared in his pants but the wild sensations had scared him a bit. That was a while ago though, and now he wasn't as scared of it anymore. He knew it was normal to touch and pleasure yourself, and he was finally feeling ready and curious enough to try it.
He rolled over on his back again, beginning to rub his wings against the sheets and gasped at the nice sensation. His wings twitched and tingled with the stimulation, and he could feel his oil beginning to leak from his glands now, soaking the blanket he was lying on top of. Images of Jayden popped into his mind, making his body feel even hotter and more desperate, and he had to rub his oil glands harder against his blanket to feel more satisfied.
After a while he started moving his hands up and down his own body, trying to find the spots that felt best to touch, and his back arched when he reached his member. Noah quickly bit his lip to hold back a pleasured cry – he didn't want his parents to hear him.
He quickly learned what felt good down there, and he pushed his pants and panties down as he began touching himself with his hand, trying to mimic what he had seen subs do in those magazines he had in which they were together with alphas.
The sensations were almost too much, and Noah rolled over his side and shivered with overload of stimuli. He took a small break to recover a bit, but it felt torturous not to continue.
Slick was leaking between his legs now, making his thighs wet. It felt good, weird, and like his body needed something. He carefully reached a hand behind himself, curiously moving it down to that place, and his body jerked in surprise at the wonderful sensation when his fingers touched his most secret place. He gasped and panted before trying it again, and he bit into his blanket as he moved a finger around his entrance, feeling it become wet with the slick leaking from inside him. His body was begging for more, and his wings flared with need, and Noah knew he had to take it a step further.
He moved his other hand down to touch his member again, while he carefully pushed one of his fingers into himself, gasping loudly as he felt it going inside very slowly and opening him up. When his finger suddenly pressed against something deep inside of him it was like his entire body exploded from the inside out. He tried to hold back the scream that escaped from his throat as wave after wave of glorious pleasure overwhelmed him, making his body jerk violently and his wings stretch out behind him.
He panted heavily when it was over, allowing his body to recover. He basked in the wonderful, sated feeling that went through his entire body, making him feel exhausted and tired. He glanced down at the hand that he had had on his member and noticed that it was covered in something wet. He grimaced a bit and gasped when he pulled out the finger from inside him, feeling that it was wet as well.
Noah quickly wiped his hands in his blanket before pulling up his pants and went over to find some new covers for his blanket since the ones that were on it right now were wet and disgusting.
After having cleaned up after himself and gone to the bathroom, Noah lay down in his bed and pulled his blanket up around him, getting ready to sleep.
His body felt nice and sated inside, and Noah wondered if the pleasure he had experienced earlier was what sex felt like. If so, he wasn't surprised that so many people were obsessed with it, and why his father got annoyed when Castiel banned sex. It seemed that the pleasure was rather addicting.
He stared up at the ceiling in the darkness and suddenly thought of Jayden again. He had heard that alphas masturbated practically every day because of hormones and being horny a lot, and it made him blush to think about Jayden pleasuring himself and getting release. He wondered what Jayden sounded like when he was doing those things to himself, and what his face looked like when that intense, glorious feeling of absolute pleasure overwhelmed him.
Noah rolled over on his side, embarrassed and shocked about his own thoughts, and he felt a little ashamed about picturing his friend like that. Still, it was intriguing to think about Jayden in such a way, and the young alpha did have a very mature and well-build body which was pleasing to think about when he was alone.
Noah closed his eyes to sleep, still tired and sated from his explorations earlier, and hoped he wouldn't blush too much next time he saw Jayden and remembered the thoughts he had had about him.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Author's notes: I hope you enjoyed this chapter :) It was kind of awkward to write Noah's last little scene in this chapter but I hope I did okay (I haven't written underage before and it made me a little uncomfortable to be honest, but Noah is above the legal age of consent, remember that). And I hope that the ones that are not into reading that scene have simply skipped it.
Thanks for reading, please review :)
