April – May 2042 (Castiel is 52 (almost 53), Dean is 54, Eden is 28 (almost 29), Adrian is 25, the twins are 21, Noah is 15-16, Jayden is 17 (almost 18), Jason is 29, Daniel is 2 (almost 3), Natalie is 24, Gabriel is 57 years old).
Two days after their little confession and their first kiss, Noah and Jayden were back in school, excited to see each other again. They had texted each other a bit during the weekend, asking how their parents took the news of them being together. Jayden's parents had been pretty ecstatic about it, especially his mom, but he had been a little nervous about Dean's reaction to it. Noah had told him that Dean didn't seem particularly thrilled but that he'd come around soon.
Their first class on Monday morning was P.E. – a class that they had together.
Noah followed Abby into the girls' locker rooms to get changed, and when they headed outside afterwards Noah glanced around at their classmates, hoping to spot Jayden somewhere. He had told Abby about him and Jayden, and she was grinning like an idiot and kept poking him with her elbow, making Noah blush.
"Aww, you're already so impatient to see your precious boyfriend again. How cute," Abby teased, grinning as she and Noah stood a bit away from the others and waited for the teacher.
Noah scowled a bit at her with reddened cheeks. "It's not 'cute'. I just can't wait to see him again."
"And that's exactly what makes it cute!"
Noah groaned, finding that Abby was probably right. He looked up when someone approached them and he beamed when he saw Jayden heading over to him with a big smile on his face.
"Hey," Jayden greeted them, smiling widely at Noah and spared Abby a small glance.
"Hi," Noah said, smiling shyly. He smiled wider when he noticed how Jayden was standing closer to him than usual now.
Abby glanced between them as she saw them being unable to look away from each other. "Well, don't mind me; I'm not half as interesting to look at you two lovers. But are you going to be open about your relationship or are you gonna hide it for now? Just wondering."
Jayden finally looked at her, blinking as he contemplated about that. He looked back at Noah who seemed a little unsure of it as well. "Well, maybe we better stay low about it at first, at least while we're at school… Not sure how those bullies will react and I don't want you to get hurt." He reached out his tail, briefly brushing it against Noah's leg before pulling it back.
Noah smiled, touched by the concerned look on his boyfriend's face. "Yeah… let's do that."
"But only at school," Jayden said, grinning.
The teacher arrived and they all walked over to gather around him as he told them the agenda for today's class. Max and his friends were standing a few feet away, and Noah ignored the hateful looks they were sending him. Jayden sneered in Max's direction, making the alpha angel look elsewhere for now.
Rick and Chris came over and Jayden hung out with them during most of the class so that people wouldn't harass him and Noah too much for hanging out (Noah had Abby to be with anyway), but he always made sure to keep Noah within eyesight. P.E. was when Noah got harassed the most and Jayden wasn't about to let anything happen to him without him interfering. The jocks were still cold towards Jayden, sneering and glaring at him, but Jayden mostly ignored their looks and provoking comments. They had gotten into heavy arguments a few times over the past months and the teacher was now keeping a close eye on them to make sure they wouldn't fight again.
Noah couldn't keep his eyes off Jayden when he was running around the pitch together with him and Abby, and when they played baseball afterwards. The alpha was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, making Noah able to see his muscled legs and arms. Watching Jayden sweat with exhaustion after running, and how he smiled and laughed at something Rick or Chris said was really intriguing to watch. Their relationship was still new but Noah couldn't wait until he was brave enough to reach out and touch the alpha's body, exploring and getting to know it. The thought made him blush a little.
Noah was brought out of staring and thoughts when Frank and Colin approached him during the small break, snickering at him.
"What's wrong? Thinking about how you're gonna let Jayden fuck you next time? Or how best to suck his cock?" Frank asked, a mocking smirk on his lips.
Noah stared back at them, eyes wide. He immediately acted like the words didn't bother him and turned his head away to ignore them. Abby did the same, growling a bit as she tried to bite back her comments.
"Ignoring us now? Sure you don't wanna taste another alpha cock for once?" Colin said, making Frank snicker and laugh next to him.
Noah stared back up at Colin, giving him his best blank expression. "No. Do you?" he retorted, hoping they would just back off already and stop their stupid comments.
Apparently his words struck a nerve because both guys went completely silent for a second before Colin spread his wings out in anger. "What the fuck did you just say to me?!" he snarled.
Noah stood his ground and tried not to flinch, but was slightly spooked by the sudden alpha display. Abby growled at the boys and pulled Noah back as Colin stepped forward.
Jayden appeared then, snarling as he grabbed Colin from behind and pushed him away so hard that the other alpha almost stumbled to the ground. Noah watched wide-eyed as Colin and Frank now growled at Jayden, and how the alphas spread out their sharpened wings in a threatening manner while glaring each other down. The others had noticed it as well and they gathered around to watch while the teacher was gone for a few minutes during the break.
"Leave him the fuck alone," Jayden snarled, moving over in front of Noah and Abby and kept his wings spread out.
Noah stared at the sharpened feathers, admiring their badassery and how they kind of glistered as the sun shined upon them. Jayden's tail was moving in agitation behind him, adding to his threatening posture.
"You just can't stop defending your little whore, can you?" Colin spat back.
Jayden growled, taking a dangerous step forward at the same time as Frank and Colin did, but luckily they were interrupted when the teacher finally came back.
"Hey! What's going on here?! No fighting! And get back to class, god damnit," the teacher growled, giving them all an authoritative look.
Frank and Colin backed down, glaring at Jayden as they left, and Jayden returned the glare.
A few of the others whispered about them as Jayden, Noah, and Abby followed the teacher back over to the field to continue with the next game, and Jayden folded his wings back behind his back before turning to look at Noah.
"You okay?" Jayden asked, a concerned look on his face. Noah nodded and Jayden added, "Colin and Frank are douches, don't listen to them."
Abby smirked. "Well, Noah told them off pretty good."
"Yeah, I heard. It was pretty awesome," Jayden chuckled, grinning proudly at Noah who blushed and smiled sheepishly at that.
They went over to the others again, continuing with class, and Noah tried not to pay attention to the others staring at him after Jayden had protected him.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
After school Noah and Jayden were heading to the local swim center. They met up outside the school on the sidewalk where some of the other students were getting on the school bus.
"Are you joining?" Jayden asked Christie who had come outside with them. Abby had a late class that day so she couldn't come.
"Nah, I think I'll let you two lovebirds go alone. I've got tons of homework anyway," Christie grinned, giving them a small wink.
Noah blushed a little.
"Well, maybe next time then," Jayden said, smiling.
They said goodbye to Christie and started walking towards the swim center, walking side by side. The spring weather was nice and warm, and birds were chirping in the trees that they passed on their way there.
Their wings brushed together by accident while they walked, making Noah blush and pull his wing a little closer to himself because he was shy.
"How was your day? Were there many bullies around?" Jayden asked, looking at Noah as they walked.
"My day was okay. Max pushed into me in the cafeteria, making me stumble into some girl whom I don't know. She glared at me pretty hard even though I told her that I was pushed by someone else, and Max just laughed as he left." Noah sighed, hating how Max always made life so tough for him.
Jayden growled. "Next time I see that douche I'll trip him so that he makes a fool out of himself. I'm so tired of that idiot."
Noah chuckled a bit. "Me too. But he's also such a coward."
"Yeah, I noticed," the alpha chuckled.
Suddenly a big lizard ran across the sidewalk right in front of Noah, making him yelp and stop abruptly. Jayden barely had time to react before he bumped into Noah's side and made their arms and wings touch intimately.
"Whoa!" Jayden exclaimed, surprised by the sudden stop.
Noah was still a little shocked by the surprise of something running across the sidewalk in front of him, and his cheeks flushed when he felt Jayden's wing bump into his own. It had sent waves of pleasure through him and made him shudder.
"Sorry about that," Jayden spoke, referring to their wings touching.
"It's okay," Noah said, still feeling his heart pound in his chest from the surprise he had gotten.
Jayden laughed a bit when he saw the look on Noah's face. "Don't tell me you're scared of lizards?"
Noah blinked up at him. "What? No! Lizards are cute. I just got really surprised."
Jayden chuckled and reached up his hand to cup Noah's cheek, staring at his face and Noah's blue eyes as the submissive blinked up at him in wonder. "They're not as cute as you, though."
Noah blushed, and the alpha chuckled fondly before slowly leaning his head down so that his lips were right in front of Noah's, hesitating as if asking if it was okay to kiss him. Noah responded by closing the remaining space between them, letting their lips touch in what was their second kiss. They hummed softly as their lips moved together, and Noah tried hard to get a hang of how it worked. He mimicked Jayden's movements and shuddered lightly at the feeling of their lips touching. Noah's stomach fluttered as he enjoyed the nice sensation of their lips moving together, and he already thought that kissing Jayden was rather addictive.
The alpha pulled back a little, staring into Noah's eyes with such fondness it made the submissive's heart skip a beat.
"I-I'm not very good at it," Noah admitted, somewhat shamefully.
Jayden chuckled and stroked his thumb across Noah's cheek. "I'll teach you, but you're really not bad at it either. Just inexperienced."
Noah nodded, smiling shyly, and felt Jayden's tail curl around his lower leg and squeeze it tightly.
"Um," Jayden began. "I wanted to tell you that if you feel like things are going too fast or if I do something that you don't like then please tell me. I don't wanna rush things, and I want to take things slow and make you feel comfortable, alright?"
"Okay, I'll let you know. But I don't mind the, um, kissing," Noah replied, staring back into Jayden's eyes with flushed cheeks.
Jayden grinned and pulled back a little. "Good," he spoke. He reached down and grabbed a hold of Noah's hand, and they slowly began walking off again.
Noah didn't mind that their feathers brushed just a little every now and then.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
When they arrived at the swim center they parted ways to go into the changing rooms to change clothes and shower before meeting up inside the big swim hall.
When they met up inside Jayden grinned as he went over to him, and Noah noticed how the alpha quickly ran his eyes across his body before politely looking at Noah's face again.
To Noah it felt a little different this time to see Jayden in his swimsuit. They were dating now, which meant that sooner or later they were going to do more intimate things – which both scared him a little and excited him. It also meant that there was nothing wrong with him staring at the alpha's half naked body anymore since they were together now, and he couldn't take his eyes off of Jayden's lean chest when the alpha approached him. Noah couldn't help but feel more self-conscious about his own body now as well, especially when Jayden looked at him.
"Are you ready to take a swim?" Jayden asked, a friendly smile on his lips.
Noah nodded. "Yes. But I'm pretty sure I'll beat you in our race," he said, flashing his boyfriend a smug grin.
"No way," Jayden grinned, challenging, and Noah laughed and followed him over to the big pool.
Jayden went in first, shivering as the water felt cold, and turned to watch Noah who lingered a bit on the floor before slowly stepping down into the pool. The submissive shivered as he dipped his foot in the water, and Jayden chuckled and reached out his hand towards him. Noah blinked, staring from Jayden's face to his hand, before slowly taking the alpha's hand and let him guide him down into the water.
The coldness made Noah gasp and his body protested at the temperature. He glared at Jayden when the alpha just laughed at his reaction, and he hit Jayden playfully on the arm. "Stop laughing!" he growled, embarrassed that Jayden was amused about him.
Jayden just laughed more. "Sorry. It's always fun to watch someone enter the water and shiver because it feels so cold at first, and I like how you wrap your wings around yourself whenever you enter the pool for the first time. It's kinda cute." Noah blushed and kept glaring at him, making Jayden chuckle. "And your glare is not very efficient when your cheeks are all red from blushing, you know."
"Shut up, so I can beat you at our race," Noah grumbled, but his lip was curled into a small smile as he looked at Jayden.
Jayden grinned, and they swam over to the edge of the pool to get into position for their race. They raced every time they came to the swim center since it was good exercise and it was fun. Noah had gotten better at it lately and he was pretty fast in the water, although Jayden still had the best stamina in the long-run.
They tuned out the noise from the other people in the swim center, and Noah avoided teenage and adult males as much as he could – they were the ones that would stare at him the most. The pool wasn't that crowded today, making it pretty easy to swim back and forth without anyone being in the way.
After racing for a while they were both exhausted, and decided to head over to the warmer pool to relax a little instead. Noah got out of the pool first, and Jayden had to suppress the erection he was getting when he once again caught a nice glimpse of the submissive's speedo-clad ass. Noah's ass was small but it was definitely not a flat line either; it had a nice, round shape, making it completely perfect in Jayden's eyes.
Once they were both out of the pool they shook their wings to get rid of the water and headed over to the warm pool. The warm pool was like the other pools except its temperature was somewhat warmer than the other pools, making it very relaxing to be in the water.
Noah hated walking on the wet, slippery floors, and Jayden smiled at him in sympathy before slowly reaching out and grabbing a hold of Noah's arm to steady him. The alpha's hand felt big around Noah's skinny upper arm but Noah kind of liked that.
"Thanks…" Noah spoke, giving Jayden a brief smile before concentrating on not slipping again.
"No problem. I wouldn't want you to fall and injure yourself," Jayden spoke, holding on tightly to Noah's arm as they made their way over to the other pool.
Three teenage angel boys walked by, headed in the other direction, and Noah looked away when he saw them ogling him. Jayden sneered at them, sharpening his wet feathers, and glared at the boys as they walked by.
"Fucking waste of angel sub ass to go to a demon," one of the boys sneered as they passed. It was hard to see the roughness in Noah's wings at first glance, especially when they were wet, so it was not unusual for people to think that he was a full blood angel.
"Mind your tongue," Jayden growled back, narrowing his eyes at the boys.
The boys just huffed and continued walking, and Noah sighed in relief when nothing else happened.
They reached the warm pool and got in. They managed to find a nice corner where there weren't any people, and they spent some time chatting and talking there. Both of them enjoyed the other's company, and there was lots of smiling and staring going on between them, as well as a few, innocent touches of their hands and feathers.
Afterwards they raced a few more times in the big pool until they got tired again. At 4:10 they headed out to the changing rooms and prepared to go home.
Noah was getting picked up by Dean and Castiel, and Jayden would take a bus home today since his parents worked late on Mondays. The alpha usually waited with Noah outside until Dean and Castiel arrived, and today was no exception.
"Did you have fun?" Jayden asked as they stood outside the swim center by the road, waiting for Noah's parents to arrive. Their feathers and hair were still wet and they both smelled a bit of chlorine, but it felt refreshing in the warm spring wind.
"Yes, I always have fun with you in the swim center," Noah replied and smiled up at him.
Jayden grinned and wrapped his tail around Noah's leg in an affectionate gesture. Their shoulder bags were placed on the ground by their legs so they wouldn't have to carry the weight on their shoulders.
They waited for a bit and watched as others got picked up outside the swim center by friends or relatives. After a few minutes they ran out of things to talk about for now, and Noah shyly glanced down at Jayden's hand which rested down along the alpha's side. He slowly reached out his own hand, hesitating and pulling it back a few times, before tentatively putting his hand into Jayden's.
The alpha glanced down at him, eyebrows raised in surprise, but his face immediately softened when he saw his boyfriend stare up at him from under his lashes and give him a shy smile. Jayden grinned and squeezed Noah's smaller hand, and his tail curled tighter around the submissive's leg.
They looked up when Dean and Castiel finally arrived in the Tahoe, and Noah noticed how Jayden tensed up and got a little nervous when he saw Dean looking in their direction as he pulled the car over. Noah didn't let go of Jayden's hand though; he held it tight, not allowing Jayden to pull his hand back, and the tail around Noah's leg loosened a bit as Dean stepped out of the car along with Castiel.
Dean kept his eyes firmly on Jayden as he walked over to them with a stern expression on his face, and Castiel followed right behind him.
"Dean…" Castiel started when he saw how Dean was looking at Jayden.
Jayden took a small step back as Dean stopped in front of him and Noah, but Noah still refused to let go of his hand. The young alpha lowered his head and wings a little, glancing warily at Dean.
"Dad…" Noah began, not liking the way that Dean was staring at his boyfriend.
Dean's face softened and his wings relaxed a bit behind his back. He stared Jayden up and down a few times. "So… You're my kid's boyfriend now."
Jayden nodded a little. "Yes, sir."
Dean nodded quietly, his expression softer but still a little intimidating. "You do know that if you hurt him I'll kick your ass so hard that you'll never be able to sit down on it or do anything with it ever again, right?"
"Dean!" Castiel chastised, but Dean ignored him and kept his eyes on Jayden.
Jayden nodded. "Yeah, I know. I swear I won't do anything to hurt him."
"Okay. Good," Dean said, looking between them once more. "Noah seems comfortable enough around you so I guess I have no reason to believe that you're bad for him. Yet. But don't test my trust."
Once again Jayden nodded, and Noah finally let go of his hand when their hands started getting a little sweaty from the tension.
"Are you waiting for your parents?" Castiel asked Jayden.
"Nah, I'm taking the bus today. Just wanted to make sure that Noah would be okay until you came to pick him up," Jayden replied, glancing at Noah who also seemed relieved now that Dean wasn't acting that much like a protective father anymore.
Dean eyed him a bit before saying, "We can give you a ride home, if you want."
All three of them were startled by the offer, but Dean didn't look like he was joking.
Jayden was completely taken aback by the offer, but also felt very relieved and glad that Dean would suggest it in the first place. It showed that Dean didn't completely hate him. "If it's not an inconvenience then I would appreciate it," he replied, a polite smile on his face.
Noah was grinning now, happy that his father had softened up.
"Alright then, jump in," Dean spoke, gesturing over at the car.
They picked up their shoulder bags and Noah led Jayden over to the Tahoe. Castiel lingered a bit with Dean before they both slowly followed them over to the car. The angel smiled up at Dean and brushed his wing against the demon's lovingly. "I'm glad and proud of you that you are being nice to him now," he said, his smile widening as Dean looked at him.
Dean huffed, suppressing the unmanly reddening of his cheeks. "Well, he's not that bad…" he admitted, making sure that Jayden and Noah couldn't hear him.
Castiel just smiled, and they all got into the car to get ready to drive off. Noah and Jayden were in the backseat, and Castiel smiled as he glanced back at them and saw them share a loving smile. Noah was sitting behind Dean, and Jayden was sitting behind Castiel's seat.
Dean started the car and drove off, heading to Jayden's house first. "So how was swimming? Was it fun?" he asked, looking at Noah in the rearview mirror.
"Yeah, it was quite fun. I beat Jayden four times in our race, but then he beat me three times afterwards… I get tired too fast," Noah said, sighing a bit.
Jayden chuckled. "Yeah, he's pretty fast," he told Dean and Castiel before looking at Noah. "And you just need to build up some stamina. You're already lasting longer than you did at the beginning."
"Yeah, you gotta practice to get better stamina. I'm sure you'll soon beat Jayden every single time," Dean spoke from the front, flashing a smug smirk at Jayden in the mirror.
Jayden laughed a bit at that. "I wouldn't be surprised." He turned his head and grinned at Noah who shyly fidgeted his hands in his lap.
Castiel just smiled, glad to see that the mood in the car was good.
They arrived at Jayden's house ten minutes later, having chatted a bit in the car and been in comfortable silence for a while, and the young demon unfastened his seatbelt and smiled at Noah who was looking at him. Then he leaned forward towards Dean and Castiel in the front. "Thank you very much for driving me home. I owe you a favor."
Castiel just smiled and glanced over his shoulder at him, although he could barely see him since Jayden was sitting behind him. "It's alright. You owe us nothing."
"Except for treating Noah good and love him more than you love yourself," Dean cut in, muttering the words.
"Dean…" Castiel sighed, shaking his head helplessly.
Jayden just smiled and chuckled a bit. "Don't worry; I don't think I'd have any problems with that." He looked at Noah whose eyes widened a bit, and Jayden reached out to squeeze his hand before finally getting out of the car. He had considered giving Noah a small kiss, but he wasn't sure how Dean would react to that so he decided to better wait with kissing and showing Noah affection in front of Dean until the older demon had gotten more used the thought of them dating.
They waved goodbye at Jayden as they drove off, and Noah couldn't stop smiling. His stomach was full of excited butterflies whenever he was around Jayden, and the fact that his father seemed nicer towards him now made him very happy. It still saddened him to say goodbye to Jayden but they would be seeing each other again tomorrow.
Dean tried not to look at Cas when the angel kept smiling at him like a proud mother just because he had been nice to Jayden for once. He could feel the angel's stare on him most of the way home, and eventually he moved his tail over and put it on his mate's lap in a sign of affection, and Castiel's smile widened.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Three weeks later, on the 7th May, it was Noah's 16th birthday. It fell on a Wednesday that year and on a school day, but most of his classmates didn't know about him having a birthday. His closest friends knew, and Jayden knew as well of course.
Abby and Christie had congratulated him in the morning when they met and had given Noah a gift card for his favorite bookstore. Noah enjoyed reading his in free time, and he especially liked fantasy books, so he was glad to receive the gift card.
He had English and biology classes with Jayden on that day, and the alpha had greeted him in the corridor with a wide smile and wished him happy birthday. Jayden knew that Noah didn't want the others to know about his birthday so he tried to act like it was any other normal day while they were in class. They still kept their relationship a secret to others, not wanting to get harassed more, so Jayden would only show him affection when they were alone. In the past three weeks they had shared more kisses – slow, soft ones so far, but they were beginning to explore a tiny bit with tongues now as well. It had felt rather weird at first but Noah had quickly come to like it a lot. It was intimate and nice, and Jayden was a pretty good teacher. Their deep kisses never lasted long because Jayden would pull away after a few moments and pant softly, saying they should take it slow.
Noah also liked how Jayden would brush his tail against his leg or wrap it around it, and the alpha had placed his hands on his hips, shoulders, and neck a few times while they were kissing. Jayden was taking it very slow, letting Noah get used to the closeness, and Noah appreciated that, although he really wanted to go a step further and explore Jayden's wings. He loved the alpha's wings, watching them sharpen when Jayden got protective or mad at the bullies, and seeing them glister with water when they were in the swim center. He really wanted to feel them, but he was too shy to ask permission or to make the first initiative.
After their last class ended, Jayden went with Noah to the library where the submissive would wait to get picked up later. Jayden was busy that afternoon so he couldn't go with Noah home even if he wanted to, but he could stay with him for a bit in the library.
They found themselves a nice, private spot in the far corner where they could sit down without anyone looking or listening in. The librarian was wiping dust off the shelves here and there and putting books into place, and there were only a few other people in the library that day, but the bookshelves provided Noah and Jayden with privacy.
"I, uh, bought you a present," Jayden said as they sat next to each other at one of the small tables.
"You didn't really have to," Noah told him, smiling softly. Still, he couldn't help but be excited and curious about what Jayden had gotten him.
"Of course I did; it's your birthday and you deserve a nice present," Jayden spoke, chuckling softly, and reached into his bag to pull out the present. "Happy birthday," he said, handing Noah the wrapped present.
"Thanks," Noah smiled, beginning to unwrap the present to see what it was. Jayden watched him with anticipation and curled his tail next to his leg. They were sitting close with their wings touching a bit, but both of them felt completely comfortable with that.
Noah's eyes widened when the paper was off and he saw that it was the new fantasy book he had been waiting for to be released for months already. It was the final installment in a popular trilogy, and had just gotten released the other day.
"You said you really wanted it, so I decided to buy it for you," Jayden explained, smiling as he watched Noah's disbelieving but happy face.
Noah looked up at him and his face turned into a big grin. "Thank you so much!" He wrapped his arms around Jayden's neck and clung to him in a hug, startling the alpha a bit. Tentative arms moved up to encircle his waist and hug him back, and he felt how careful Jayden was not to touch his wings. They had been brushing feathers a lot lately but they had yet to touch the other's wings with their hands and explore the feathers.
"You're welcome. Glad you like it," Jayden grinned, hugging him back until Noah slowly pulled away.
It was the first time that Noah had hugged Jayden like that before, and he felt his cheeks flush after he pulled away and noticed Jayden smile at him. He smiled down at the book and gently placed it on the table in front of him, running his hand over the cover before looking up at the alpha. "Um, my family is coming over on Friday to celebrate my birthday… And I, um, wanted to ask if you want to come as well?"
The alpha's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Come to your house? While your family is there?"
"You don't have to, but I kinda want you to be there."
Jayden smiled. "I don't mind going. But should I be worried that your family would try to kill me or something?" he asked, a playful smile on his lips.
"My dad is over the worst, and I don't think the others would try to 'kill you'. They told me on the phone that they really want to meet you. I'm only worried that they're gonna be really embarrassing to be around…"
Jayden chuckled. "Well, I'd like to meet your family, so I would like to come over. Should I just come home with you after school then?"
Noah blushed a bit at that, since he knew that they had their last class at 1:30pm on Friday, and Dean and Castiel would first be off work at 3pm, so he and Jayden would be alone until then. Dean was probably not going to like that idea, but Noah didn't care. He felt safe around Jayden.
"Sure, if you don't mind."
"Why would I mind?" Jayden chuckled.
Noah just smiled, and Jayden stared at his boyfriend's pink lips before slowly leaning in, closing the space between them and pressed their lips together. They closed their eyes as their lips moved in a soft, gentle kiss, but it soon deepened when Jayden moved his hand up to place it on the back of Noah's neck.
Noah moaned into the alpha's mouth, loving the taste of him and how their tongues began dancing gently. Without thinking his hand jumped up into Jayden's hair, grasping it slightly and causing the alpha to moan into his mouth. Noah felt his body warm up and his wings feel weak and tingly.
After a few seconds Jayden pulled away from the kiss, panting softly. He desperately tried to hide the erection he was sporting now and shifted uncomfortably. "Sorry. I got carried away," he said, glancing at Noah and tried not to stare too much at the kiss-swollen lips.
Noah nodded. "Me too. Sorry."
"It was very nice, though."
Noah grinned shyly and glanced up at Jayden from under his lashes, nodding in agreement.
Jayden smiled and leaned in to press a soft kiss to Noah's cheek, touching his hand with his own, before slowly getting up from his chair. He used his shoulder bag to hide the bulge in his pants so that he wouldn't freak Noah out about it. Their relationship was nowhere near sexual yet and Jayden really wanted them to get comfortable with each other and take it slow first. "So, I gotta go now. See you tomorrow. If anything happens until your parents pick you up, just call me and I'll try to be here as fast as I can if possible."
"Okay, I will," Noah smiled.
Jayden smiled back before disappearing from the library, leaving Noah by himself and unable to smile for several minutes after his boyfriend had gone.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
On Friday Jayden and Noah took a bus home to Noah's house, waiting for Dean, Castiel, and the twins to arrive. Eden, Jason, and Daniel were coming later in Jason's car, and Adrian, and Natalie were coming from L.A. to stay for the weekend. Gabriel was also going to drop by, but Katie and Heidi were first coming the next day since Heidi had been a little sick all week.
Bella barked happily at Noah and Jayden when they came home, and they took her out for a walk together so that she could stretch her legs and calm down a bit before the house was going to be crowded with people later. They had fun walking her, and Noah told Jayden about the neighborhood and neighbors, and how he was still afraid to walk Bella on his own because of the racists. The FBI had tracked down the Pure Bloods group and its members, but some of the members had escaped and were now on free foot, and they were still encouraging the public to suppress and harass angel/demon couples and hybrids by using manipulative propaganda to make people despise the couples and hybrids even more. Attacks still happened but not as frequently as earlier that year.
When they came back to the house they sat down on the couch to watch some TV show until the others came home. Jayden was mildly surprised when Noah inched closer to him, letting their wings and arms touch as they sat together. The submissive sent him a shy smile, as if asking if it was okay to sit like that, and Jayden smiled and grabbed a hold of his hand to entwine their fingers while watching the show.
At 3:34pm the Tahoe pulled into the driveway, and Noah and Jayden got up to greet Dean, Castiel, and the twins as they entered the house. Tony wasn't coming since he had an exam coming up soon and needed to study, but he had helped Lily buy a nice present for Noah.
Jayden lingered a bit behind Noah and waited in the living room as the submissive unlocked the door for his family.
Castiel smiled at them as he entered the house with Dean, and Isaac and Lily bickered a bit with each other until they stepped up to the door.
"Noah!" Isaac exclaimed with a big grin when he spotted Noah, and immediately came forward to hug him. "Happy birthday again, squirt!"
Noah struggled a bit in Isaac's tight embrace but still hugged him back. "Thanks, Isaac…"
Isaac pulled away, grinning at him before looking over at Jayden who was lingering just inside the living room. "Oh, and Noah's hottie boyfriend! Damn, he's even better-looking in real life!"
Noah flushed all over, and Lily grinned and stepped forward to hug him. Jayden just chuckled at Isaac and shifted a little.
"Isaac, be nice," Castiel scolded him, stepping past him and into the living room now. Bella followed him, wagging her tail eagerly, while Dean was still taking off his shoes and jacket in the entrance hall.
"I am being nice! It was a compliment!" Isaac argued.
Lily rolled her eyes at him before coming inside and smiled as she approached Jayden. "Hello, I'm Lily; Noah's sister," she smiled, holding out her hand for him to shake.
"Jayden," the alpha introduced himself, smiling as he shook Lily's hand.
"But your first name is Connor, right?" Isaac asked. "That's such a geek name for an alpha!"
Jayden laughed. "Yeah, I know. I keep telling my parents that."
"I still don't think it's that bad…" Noah murmured.
"Ow. Be careful Noah doesn't start screaming 'Connor, oh Connor, do me harder! Gimme more!' in bed then!" Isaac told Jayden, and began laughing hysterically.
Noah's face went redder than ever before, and he immediately started hitting at Isaac's arm in his embarrassment, trying to make him shut up. Isaac just laughed harder, especially when he saw Noah's flushed face and how he was glaring at him – it looked more cute than intimidating, really.
"Shut up, Isaac!" Noah hissed at him, smacking his arm a few more times before stepping back and wrapped his wings tightly around himself in an attempt to hide.
Jayden too was blushing like mad now, lowering his head a bit in embarrassment. Lily just giggled while Dean groaned loudly behind her.
"Isaac, that's enough! Stop embarrassing them so much," Castiel scolded again, scowling at Isaac in disapproval.
Lily chuckled. "Yeah, it's gonna come back to bite you in the ass someday."
"And don't give me disturbing images in my mind here," Dean grumbled.
"Sorry," Isaac laughed, although he didn't sound like he meant it at all.
Lily grinned between Noah and Jayden who both seemed very embarrassed now. She turned to Jayden and said, "Don't mind Isaac; he likes to embarrass people, usually by talking about sexual stuff. You're by far not his first victim, and Noah has tried it a hundred times before."
"Well, I suppose that's a bit comforting… And yet not," Jayden said, holding back a chuckle.
Noah just continued to blush and keep his head down, and he slowly moved over to Jayden when he realized he was blocking the way for Dean and the twins. He was comforted a bit when he felt Jayden's tail brush against his leg and slowly wrap around it, and he glanced up at his boyfriend and gave him a small smile. Their hands brushed a bit as they stepped a little closer to each other.
Castiel smiled at them. He was relieved to see that Jayden didn't hold back with his affections even though they were all watching them. Jayden was being very loving towards Noah and it made Castiel feel safe about him. He knew Dean felt the same although Dean was a little more reluctant than him to accept that Noah was no longer a little kid.
After fifteen minutes Eden, Jason, and little Daniel arrived, and just after they had exited the car Adrian and Natalie arrived as well.
Everyone smiled and greeted each other as they entered the house, and they all wished Noah a late happy birthday even though they had called him on his birthday to congratulate him. Dean and Castiel were both glad to have all the kids at the house again, and Noah was glad to see his siblings.
"Oh, you must be Jayden!" Eden exclaimed with a grin when she entered the living room and saw Jayden. "I remember seeing you in Noah's kindergarten back then but I can't say that I recognize you."
"Yeah, my memory of you guys is kinda fuzzy as well…" Jayden smiled.
Eden smiled and reached out to shake his hand. "I was always curious about who Noah's future boyfriend would be, and I gotta say that my brother has a nice taste."
"Eden," Jason grumbled behind her, looking somewhat jealous to hear his mate say such things to another male.
Jayden laughed softly and shook her hand. "Um, thanks. So you're Eden?"
"Yep," Eden grinned and pulled her hand back. "And this is my mate Jason and our son Daniel." She pointed at Jason and then over at Daniel who was sitting on Dean's arm now. Natalie and Adrian were still taking off their shoes in the entrance hall while chatting with Castiel. "And we have another baby on its way," Eden added, smiling as she put her hands on her swollen belly. She was seven months pregnant now and would be having the baby in July.
"Oh, that's nice. Congratulations," Jayden grinned.
"Thanks," Eden and Jason both said and shared a happy smile.
"God damnit, Isaac. Move it," Adrian grumbled when he tried to walk into the living room only to have Isaac block the doorway by putting his hands on either side of the doorframe while flashing him a mischievous smirk. Natalie stood behind him, a hand on her swollen belly and giggled as she watched Adrian get annoyed with his brother. Castiel was also still in the entrance hall while Dean was already in the living room, and the angel sighed heavily at Isaac's ever present mischief.
"Why? I'm having fun standing here," Isaac just grinned, refusing to move.
"You better move before I get some pregnancy cramp in my leg and accidentally kick you in the balls," Natalie told him, a smug smirk on her face.
Isaac paled a bit. "You wouldn't do that."
Natalie just smirked, and Isaac didn't know if he should move or if he dared standing his ground in the doorway.
Adrian rolled his eyes before pushing into Isaac, using his alpha strength to force Isaac back who yelped as he accidentally pushed into Lily behind him. Bella almost got hit too, but she quickly jumped away and went over to Eden instead.
"Sorry, Lily," Adrian chuckled, watching as Lily glared between him and Isaac. He went over and pulled her into a hug since he hadn't hugged the twins yet.
Isaac pouted. "No hugs for me?" He lifted his foot and planted it on Adrian's ass right next to his tail while his brother was hugging Lily, but Adrian quickly reached his hand behind himself (while still hugging Lily) and grabbed a hold of it. Isaac yelped and almost fell on his butt, but his wings and the door behind him helped him maintain his balance. "Damnit! Let go of me, you slimy goat!"
Lily laughed and pulled away from Adrian who finally let go of Isaac's foot.
Adrian laughed at Isaac. "Is that the best insult you can come up with?"
"I think it's insulting enough," Jason chuckled. Eden rolled her eyes and rubbed her stomach while watching her siblings with a smile.
"It's the only insult that's appropriate to say out loud in here!" Isaac growled, glaring daggers at Adrian.
"You usually don't care about the words that leave your mouth," Dean pointed out, still holding Daniel on his arm who was looking around at everyone while they talked.
Castiel sighed, although he couldn't deny that he was enjoying his children's childish arguments and behavior. It was just like the old days.
Noah had gone over to stand next to Jayden again over by the couch, and the others were gathered between the couch and the door. The two of them were watching Noah's siblings being silly, and Noah felt a little embarrassed by them but Jayden seemed to find it pretty amusing.
Jayden looked up when Adrian suddenly came over to him, looking him up and down with a somewhat calculating face. Jayden straightened up a bit and kept his wings somewhat down, and he met Adrian's eyes when the other alpha finally looked at his face. Noah shifted a little closer to Jayden, as if to signal to his older brother that there was nothing to worry about.
"And you're my little brother's boyfriend," Adrian stated, looking between him and Noah. He smiled as he reached out to shake Jayden's hand. "I'm Adrian, it's nice to meet you. But I do hope that you'll treat Noah well, otherwise you won't think it was nice to meet me." His lips curled into a small smirk, which relaxed Jayden a bit after the small threat that Adrian had just given him.
"Yeah, I know. Nice to meet you too," Jayden said, returning the small smirk, and shook Adrian's hand.
"Adrian, don't be so rude," Noah complained, annoyed that both Dean and Adrian were treating Jayden like this.
"Just looking out for you, little brother," Adrian smiled and reach out to ruffle his hair.
"I'm 16. I don't need looking out for," Noah groaned and shied away from Adrian's hand, frantically trying to correct his messy hair. He ended up hiding slightly behind Jayden and his wing to get away from Adrian's hand.
"Aww, seeking comfort with your alpha now," Isaac teased, grinning as he watched the scene.
"Shut up," Noah grumbled, blushing again, but he didn't move away from Jayden even though their feathers were touching now.
Daniel was put down on the floor again, and he ran around the room between them and played with Bella sometimes. Castiel had gestured for everyone to sit down on the couch while he and Dean brought over some drinks. Gabriel was first coming for dinner, he had said, and there were a few hours until then.
The couch got pretty crowded, especially since everyone's wings took up some space. Jason was the only one who didn't have wings. Eden and Natalie needed a little extra space now since they were both pregnant, leaving even less space available. Noah waited until everyone had sat down (except for Dean and Castiel who would sit down in the chairs, and Daniel was playing under the couch table now) since he was the smallest and could easier find an available spot to sit in, but he soon realized that there was barely any space for him to sit in.
Noah stood between Jayden's legs and the couch table, glancing around the couch to calculate where he could sit. "Umm…"
"Just sit down on your boyfriend's lap; I bet he doesn't mind!" Isaac exclaimed from where he was sitting next to Lily. Jayden was sitting on Lily's other side, and Adrian sat to his right in the corner of the couch while Natalie, Eden, and Jason sat on the couch's other side.
Noah blushed, and the others laughed.
Jayden chuckled. "Yeah, I don't mind," he told Noah, smiling up at him.
Castiel turned to look at Dean to see if the demon was going to make any protests, but Dean didn't seem to mind it that much. He just stared quietly between Noah and Jayden.
Noah nodded, and he gently sat down so that his ass was planted on Jayden's thigh and his wings were folded behind his back and touching Jayden and the couch. He made his wings as small as he could and was painfully aware of his ass pressing into his boyfriend's thigh and the alpha looking at his back. He didn't lean backwards into him since everyone had brought presents and put them on the couch table, and he had to lean forward to open them soon.
"And if you feel something poking against your butt then don't worry; it's just Jayden's boner!" Isaac grinned.
Noah flushed even harder, and Jayden didn't know if he should laugh or blush at Isaac's comment.
"Jesus, Isaac! Be nice!" Lily scolded him, even though the others were laughing.
Dean was scrunching his nose a bit, and Castiel wasn't laughing either since he was pretty embarrassed by Isaac's rude comment about Jayden.
"He's not sitting close enough to Jayden's crotch to feel anything anyway," Adrian chuckled.
After the laughter had died down a bit Noah began opening the presents from his siblings. The unwrapping of presents and paper caught Daniel's attention, and he stood up next to the table and stared eagerly at Noah as he opened his presents. Bella was walking over to each of them, seeing who would pay her attention and pet her for a bit. Most of the presents were stuff that Noah had wished for, and he also got some cash from Adrian, Eden, and his parents since they weren't sure what to buy for him, and cash could always be used for something.
When Noah reached the final present he was pretty wary about opening it since he knew it was from Isaac. His brother just grinned at him, and Noah slowly began unwrapping it. He was absolutely horrified when he saw that Isaac had given him a porn movie with submissive/alpha porn.
"Oh my god, is that a porn movie?" Eden gasped.
Adrian groaned. "Isaac never grows up."
"What? Now that Noah has a boyfriend he needs some visual education, and it's good for couples' sex lives to watch porn," Isaac argued.
"Isaac, that is not an appropriate present!" Castiel chastised. "I swear to god I sometimes don't know what went wrong when Dean and I raised you."
Isaac laughed. "Sorry, papa."
"For god's sake, Noah's only just 16!" Dean growled at him.
"So what? I started watching porn when I was 13, and you told me you were also 13 when you started watching it! Besides, you thought it was pretty funny when I gave Adrian a porn movie once."
Dean groaned. "Adrian was older…"
Noah stared at the explicit cover in horror before hiding it away under some of the other presents, especially since Daniel tried to see what it was.
"What were you thinking?! Daniel is here too!" Eden scolded at Isaac.
"Yeah, that's a little reckless…" Natalie agreed, looking at Daniel who looked pretty confused now.
Isaac rolled his eyes. "He didn't even see anything."
Jayden couldn't help but find it extremely amusing, but also pretty embarrassing. He shifted a bit on the couch, but Noah's weight on his thigh kept him from moving much. He tried not to think too hard about how his boyfriend's ass was seated right on his leg now, and he really tried not to pay attention to its shape and how it felt.
"Um, well thank you for all your presents," Noah said, breaking the awkwardness, and unconsciously shifted a little up Jayden's leg.
"You're welcome," Eden beamed at him, as did the others.
Daniel looked up at Noah from where he was standing between Jayden and Adrian's feet. He spread out his little arms and beamed. "Up?"
Noah laughed softly and gave him an apologetic smile. "You can't come up; I'm sitting on someone else. It's too crowded here."
Daniel pouted and instead pushed his way past Jayden, Lily, and Isaac's legs to go over to Castiel who was sitting on one of the chairs. "Up?" he asked again, spreading his arms.
Castiel smiled fondly and grabbed the boy under the arms, lifting him up into his lap. "Yes, you may come up. There is a lot of space on my lap." Daniel smiled widely and immediately got comfortable on his grandmother's lap. He giggled softly when Castiel placed a small kiss on his cheek, and Dean smiled at that.
"Aww, he's so cute," Natalie grinned, rubbing her stomach absently while looking at how content Daniel was on Cas' lap now.
Eden grinned. "Hopefully his sister will be just as cute," she spoke, rubbing her own stomach. Jason smiled and reached out to put a hand on Eden's stomach, and she smiled warmly at him.
Both Eden and Natalie were expecting girls, and Eden and Jason really looked forward to having a girl soon. Adrian was already extremely protective of his mate and unborn child, and he kept close to Natalie's side at all times, sharing small affectionate gestures with her.
Jayden smiled, looking over at Daniel and Castiel, and he absently moved his hands up to place them on Noah's thighs as the submissive sat on his lap. His forearms framed Noah's body and his wings, but he was wearing a long shirt so there was no skin-to-wing contact. When he noticed what he had done he was just about to pull his hands away, afraid that he had crossed a line, but Noah turned his head to look at him then and gave him a shy smile, so Jayden let his hands stay, figuring that it was okay.
"Aww, you two are already so cute together," Lily grinned at them.
Noah blushed and stared down, and Jayden just smiled.
"Are you staying over for the night?" Adrian asked Jayden.
Jayden blinked at him. "Ah, no, I'm leaving later."
"What?! I thought you were staying over," Isaac exclaimed.
"Yeah, it could be nice if you stayed over and we got to know you better," Eden said.
"Well, Jayden is welcome to stay if he likes, but Gabriel will be occupying the guestroom so I'm afraid we will be having some space issues…" Castiel spoke.
"And there's no way he's sleeping in Noah's room," Dean immediately cut in.
"Oh, c'mon, dad! Just because they would be sharing a room doesn't mean they will be touching each other and doing naughty things. I'm pretty sure they aren't even that far in their relationship yet," Eden argued.
Dean groaned. "They better fucking not be. They've only been together for about three weeks."
"Dean," Castiel chastised, sighing helplessly.
Noah's deep blush and how he and Jayden squirmed a bit confirmed to the others that Eden was right.
"And there is a sleeping bag in the house…" Lily reminded them. "And a mattress, plus extra blankets and pillows. And there's always the couch."
Castiel looked over at Jayden. "You are welcome to stay the night if you want." He quickly reached out and put a hand over Dean's mouth when the demon was about to blurt out something, and Daniel giggled in his lap.
Jayden shifted a bit, feeling everyone's eyes on him. He looked at Noah who was turning his head back to look at him, and he searched his eyes a bit and saw him nod his softly before he finally gave in. "Alright, I don't mind staying. I just gotta get an okay from my parents first, but I don't think they would mind…"
"Awesome!" Isaac grinned.
The others seemed happy about it as well, and Jayden and Noah shared a small smile before Noah turned his head back around.
They talked for a while about their lives and Eden and Natalie's pregnancies, until some of them got up from the couch to prepare the dinner.
Jayden moved his legs and feet as close to the couch as he could when Adrian pushed past him and Noah, and Noah shifted so that he was leaning further back into Jayden to make more room for Adrian to pass. The alpha tensed when Noah's ass was suddenly placed right on top of his crotch, and Noah tensed too when he realized where he was sitting. The others were talking and not paying them much attention, and Jayden bit his lip as he felt himself starting to grow hard.
"Sorry… Can you shift a bit away from there?" Jayden asked, feeling his face turn warm. He whispered the words so that the others wouldn't hear and get a clue about what was happening.
Noah's face was completely red, and he nodded a bit before shifting forward on Jayden's lap so that he wasn't sitting on his crotch anymore. The fact that he had felt the alpha grow hard under him made him pretty embarrassed, but it was also rather arousing. He had done that, after all.
Realizing that the couch was full of space now that Adrian and Natalie had gotten up, Noah moved from his boyfriend's lap down to the couch instead so that he was sitting next to him. He heard Jayden sigh and saw him bounce his leg a bit, and he guessed that the alpha's leg was probably about to go numb from him having sat there. He dared a glance at Jayden's crotch, curious about whether or not he would see a bulge there, but the alpha was covering it with his hands so that no one would notice what had happened.
They both looked up when Daniel ran over to them now that Castiel had gone over to the kitchen. Noah smiled as the boy went over to him and lifted his arms, and Noah picked him up and let him sit on his lap. "Hey, Daniel. Are you glad you get to sit on me now?"
Daniel nodded eagerly. "Wanna play on stairs?" he asked.
Noah laughed softly. "You always wanna play on the stairs."
"Let me guess: he likes to run up and down on them for hours?" Jayden chuckled.
"Yeah, until he exhausts himself."
"Laura used to like that too…"
Daniel pouted and hit Noah gently on the shoulder. "Stairs!"
"Yeah, yeah, let's go play on the stairs," Noah said, grinning fondly, and put Daniel down on the floor before getting up. He glanced at Jayden. "Um, do you want to join?"
"Sure," Jayden smiled, getting up as well. He followed Noah out to the entrance hall and tried not to walk funnily even though his erection had almost died down now.
"Be careful on the stairs with him!" Eden yelled at them from the living room.
"And don't smooch too much out there!" Isaac added. Noah and Jayden blushed at that.
Castiel rolled his eyes at Isaac and sighed helplessly. Lily just grinned, sharing a knowing smile with Eden and Adrian since they were all happy for Noah that he had found a nice boyfriend.
Meanwhile in the entrance hall, Noah and Jayden watched Daniel go up the stairs on all fours and how the toddler was grinning and laughing as he had a good time. They chuckled as they watched, and Jayden's tail was curling next to his leg.
"Your family is very nice. I like them," Jayden spoke while they watched Daniel having fun. He had wanted to apologize to Noah about his little excitement earlier, but it was too awkward to bring up.
Noah smiled. "Thanks. Isaac is embarrassing, though… And my uncle Gabe is just as bad. He's coming here soon."
Jayden chuckled. "That should be interesting."
Noah laughed a bit at that, and Daniel continued squealing and laughing as he ran up and down the stairs and got some exercise.
Eventually Daniel ran over to them and pulled at Noah's hand, wanting him to join, and Jayden laughed as Noah too was running up and down those stairs on all fours, and it got even better when Bella started running next to them as well when she realized what was going on. It was a funny scene to watch, but also extremely cute, considering how well Noah and Daniel got along. It made Jayden smile, and he enjoyed watching his boyfriend's skills with little children.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
It was 5:45pm when Gabriel arrived, and he grinned widely at Castiel as he opened the door for him.
"Cassie! Missed you so much, little bro!" Gabriel exclaimed and pulled Castiel into a tight, breathtaking hug.
"Hello, Gabriel," Castiel croaked, groaning as his brother squeezed him tightly.
Gabriel just grinned and stepped back before pulling Dean into a hard hug as well when the demon appeared in the doorway to the living room.
"Jeez, Gabe. You'd be good to have around if one of us ever needs to have the Heimlich Method performed on them," Dean grunted, hugging Gabriel back. Gabriel barked out a laugh at that.
The others were snickering at it from the living room, and they gathered behind Dean to greet Gabriel. Noah stayed a bit in the back with Jayden, and he smiled when he felt Jayden wrap his tail around his leg once more.
Gabriel pulled everyone into tight hugs, but not Eden and Natalie since he quickly spotted their swollen stomachs. "Cassie wasn't kidding! Total baby boom in this family!" he exclaimed.
Natalie laughed. "Yeah, totally."
Gabriel just grinned and hugged them both lightly. He glanced over at Lily whom he had hugged earlier. "It's your turn soon, little lady," he smirked.
"I gotta finish college first," Lily said, blushing a bit.
Bella ran forward and barked up at Gabriel, and he grinned as he rubbed the dog all over and cooed at her. Once he released the dog he finally came over to Noah. "And little Noah is 16 already! Damnit, time flies," he grinned and pulled his youngest nephew into a hug. "Happy late birthday, squirt."
"Thanks…" Noah grunted, wincing as Gabriel hugged him.
Jayden couldn't help but laugh when he saw Noah getting hugged so tight that he was practically gasping for air.
Castiel smiled in the background. "Yes, it flies too fast." He glanced up at Dean and grabbed his mate's hand, entwining their fingers. Dean smiled down at him and leaned in to press a soft kiss to his temple.
Gabriel finally released Noah and grinned proudly at him. "I'll give you your present tomorrow since that's when Katie and Heidi are coming. Just don't think I forgot about it."
Noah chuckled. "That's okay. I can wait."
"Good, 'cause Katie has it so I can't give it to you anyway," Gabriel smirked. He finally turned his attention to Jayden and looked the alpha up and down. "Oh wow, look at the hottie that Noah caught in the lake! My nephew has a damn good taste."
The others laughed, and Noah blushed like mad once again. Jayden just chuckled a little and watched as Gabriel stepped closer.
"I think I'm gonna give you a big hug too, seeing as I hugged everyone else. Come here!" Gabriel grinned and pulled Jayden into an unexpected, tight hug.
Isaac cracked up when he saw the surprised look on Jayden's face, and Jayden groaned as the beta angel squeezed him tighter than he had expected.
Gabriel grinned at him after he pulled back. "So, do you listen to my music?" he asked.
"Yeah, I actually have all your albums…" Jayden confessed, flexing his shoulders and wings after the squeezing that Gabe had given him.
Gabriel's lips curled into a big, fat grin. "I like this dude already!" he exclaimed and gave Jayden's shoulder a few hard pats of approval. Then he turned his head to look over at Dean, flashing him a smirk. "But I bet Dean would love to castrate the poor guy."
Dean snorted. "Nah, I've gotten over it. Noah seems to like him, so…"
"Aww, true love even softens up Dean's overprotective heart."
Noah groaned and leaned to his side to bury his face in Jayden's sleeve, feeling so embarrassed about his uncle at the moment and his face was all red from blushing all day long.
"Well, the good thing about Dean not castrating Jayden here means that he and Noah will get to produce little babies someday. With that hot-as-hell alpha and cutie-pie Noah, those kids are gonna be so fucking models when they grow up," Gabriel grinned.
"Gabriel!" Castiel chastised, groaning loudly over his brother's behavior.
Jayden's eyes widened, and Noah snapped his head up to look at Gabriel in horror before burying his flushed face in his boyfriend's sleeve again. Noah groaned loudly and wished that the floor would just swallow him up already and never let him come up again.
The others laughed out loud as they watched Noah's embarrassment and the slight flush on Jayden's cheeks as well.
"Aww, Noah is shy," Eden chuckled.
"I almost feel sorry for him," Isaac laughed.
Jayden couldn't help but chuckle a little, even though he felt awkward and embarrassed as hell, and he glanced down at Noah who was refusing to look at anyone as he kept his face hidden in Jayden's shirt. The alpha gently brushed his tail against his boyfriend's leg and wrapped it around him to offer some comfort, and Noah seemed to relax a little.
Gabriel then followed Castiel over to the kitchen and started to check if his brother was cooking the dinner correctly. Gabriel had always been good at cooking, but it annoyed Castiel whenever his brother would start correcting his way of cooking as if he was doing it all wrong even though he wasn't. Dean couldn't help but laugh when he saw Cas get so annoyed when Gabriel started criticizing his way of pouring salt into the cooking potatoes that the submissive angel eventually shoved his brother back.
"Either you stay out of the kitchen or I do!" Castiel snapped at his brother, although in a more annoyed than angry manner.
Gabriel pouted. "But I'm just trying to help you here!"
Eden laughed. "You better leave the kitchen before papa hits you in the face with the frying pan."
"Yeah, I like that idea," Gabriel said and quickly disappeared from the kitchen. Dean, Eden, Lily, and Natalie stayed behind to help Cas cook and to chat a bit.
Adrian went over to Jayden and Noah, looking at how the demon's tail was wrapped around Noah's leg and how they were discretely holding hands. "So, are you gonna sleep in Noah's room tonight?" Adrian asked out of curiosity.
Jason and Gabriel were over by the TV with Daniel now, trying to find some good children's show, and they were bickering about which show was better. Isaac joined in on their argument while Daniel just blinked up at them while playing with some toys and with Bella.
Jayden blinked. "Um, I guess so." He glanced at Noah for confirmation.
Noah flushed and nodded weakly.
Adrian smirked. "Well, he doesn't fart nearly as much as Isaac always does when sleeping, but he does sometimes make these small, cute noises when he's having a good dream, so beware of that."
"Adrian!" Noah blurted, reaching out to slap his brother's arm in embarrassment.
Jayden laughed. "Well, that's nice to know."
They looked up when Gabriel came over after he and Jason finally found a good show for Daniel to watch. The beta angel slammed his hand down hard on Adrian's shoulder, who barely flinched, and flashed him a big grin. "And Adrian is gonna be a daddy! I guess Winchesters really are potent as hell."
"What are you talking about? It's my first kid," Adrian chuckled.
"So what? You're still having a baby, so that means your dick is working," Gabriel smirked, patting his shoulder again. Adrian just grimaced at him, making Gabe laugh.
"Why do I get the feeling that there's a lot of embarrassment going on this family all the time?" Jayden asked, staring between them with somewhat squinted eyes.
Isaac laughed. "Get used to it!"
"Yeah, if you wanna join the family then be prepared for awkward and embarrassing moments," Gabriel grinned.
"Mostly only when you and Isaac are around," Adrian pointed out, squirming away from Gabriel's hand which was still on his shoulder.
"Even I haven't gotten completely used to it yet, and I've known this family my whole life," Jason murmured in the background and petted Bella as she passed him.
"Very reassuring," Jayden chuckled.
"Well, I'm gonna go over and annoy my brother again," Gabriel smirked, leaving them to talk while he made his way over to look over Cas' shoulder as the submissive angel was cooking. Castiel glared at him and pushed him back, but the girls seemed to find it pretty amusing – which was exactly what Gabriel was aiming for.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
They all had dinner together, chatting and talking about their lives, and Castiel made sure that Jayden felt as home as possible. Jayden wasn't really a shy guy and he quickly started conversations with Noah's siblings. He and Adrian seemed to get along well pretty fast, and Eden too was very interested in talking to him. Gabriel and Isaac were fooling around as usual, and Dean was Gabe's main target tonight since it was fun to poke fun at his protective nature.
At 11pm most of them started going upstairs, preparing to go to bed. Daniel was already sleep since he got tired soon after they finished dinner.
Dean had helped move the extra mattress into Noah's room for Jayden to sleep on, and Castiel had provided a blanket and a pillow for him. Adrian had lent Jayden an old t-shirt to sleep in since he hadn't been prepared to sleep over that night.
After Dean and Castiel had left the room, Noah and Jayden stood across from each other and shifted awkwardly.
"I'm sorry about Gabriel and Isaac… They are both very embarrassing," Noah murmured.
Jayden chuckled. "It's fine. They were kinda funny actually."
Noah's lip twitched a bit at that. Jayden smiled at him and stepped forward so that he was standing right in front of him, and he slowly reached his hand up to point Noah's chin up while he leaned down to kiss him softly. Noah immediately closed his eyes, humming contently as their lips touched and moved together, and he absently placed his right hand right over Jayden's heart.
When Jayden's tongue slowly entered his mouth, Noah moaned and opened up to let it in, feeling thrills of pleasure run up his spine. His hand on Jayden's chest tightened so that he was grasping his shirt, and his other hand moved up to Jayden's side. Without thinking he carefully let his hand come into contact with Jayden's half-sharp feathers. He knew how to avoid himself from getting cut, but the touch caused Jayden to gasp and pull away from his mouth, and Noah panicked.
"I'm sorry!" Noah blurted, staring back at Jayden with wide, guilty eyes. They hadn't taken the step of touching each other's wings with their hands yet, and he hoped that Jayden wasn't mad at him.
Jayden blinked in surprise before laughing softly. "Don't be sorry. I was just startled, that's all."
"I'm still sorry, though… I just felt the sudden urge to touch them."
The alpha smiled at him. "You can touch my wings if you like."
Noah stared back at him in disbelief. "Really?"
Jayden chuckled. "Yes, really. I'll even soften them for you so you won't cut yourself. If you still wanna touch them?"
Noah gaped at him. Alphas considered it very unmanly to soften their feathers in front of others, but Jayden was still offering to do so simply because Noah wanted to touch his wings. "Um, you don't have to…"
"I don't mind," Jayden spoke, sensing that Noah felt like he pressuring him into it. "I trust you not to think any less of me even when I don't look very badass."
"Of course I wouldn't think less of you," Noah immediately said.
Jayden grinned. "Good. Then I'll soften them." He took a deep, nervous breath and flexed his shoulders a bit. Noah watched with interest as the feathers slowly shifted from half-sharp into their softened state, making them appear slightly messier and somewhat more dull. Jayden hesitated a bit, feeling pretty self-conscious and a little insecure before he slowly spread his wings so that Noah could properly see the feathers.
Noah gaped slightly as he looked at the feathers. They still looked pretty, but the alpha traits in them were gone. The thing that he was most awed about was that Jayden had allowed him to see him like this; that he felt comfortable enough to let go of some of his masculinity and show Noah his more soft and vulnerable side. It wasn't something every alpha would do, since far most would feel very insecure and too proud to show someone their wings in this state. Castiel had told him that he waited for quite a while for Dean to be ready to show him his softened feathers, so Noah knew it wasn't something that alphas did just like that. He had even heard that some alphas didn't even let their mates see their wings like this.
"So… Do they look bad?" Jayden asked, breaking the silence that had developed when Noah was staring at his wings like he had never seen anything like them before.
Noah snapped out of it. "What? No. They look pretty…" he said, feelings his cheeks redden a bit, and slowly stepped a little closer. He reached out a careful hand to touch but hesitated a bit. He glanced at Jayden who nodded his permission, before he finally moved his right hand through the softened feathers on the alpha's left wing. It felt amazing. The feathers were rough but still kind of smooth, and they felt a little different from his own. He couldn't stop brushing his hand through them and watch them move almost elegantly, although he could tell that Jayden's wings really needed to be groomed soon. He moved his hand further up, near the sensitive wing bone, but he stopped himself before he reached that place. The wing bone, base of the wings, and oil glands (though Jayden didn't have those) were the most intimate parts of someone's wings – they were not something you would touch just like that. Just touching the feathers themselves was more casual but still rather intimate. Demons were less private about their wings and would easier allow someone to touch them, but Jayden's feathers were softened now so this was far more intimate for him than usual.
"They feel very nice," Noah said softly, staring transfixed at the red feathers.
"I'm glad," Jayden smiled, almost shyly, and twitched his wing a little. His tail was curling like mad next to his leg now, mimicking his happy and slightly nervous mood.
Noah finally pulled his hand back before glancing up at his boyfriend from under his lashes. His heart drummed in his chest as he slowly said, "Do, you, um, wanna touch my wings too?"
Jayden was taken aback by that, and it clearly showed on his face. A thrill of arousal spiked through him but he quickly ignored it. "I think maybe that's a little too soon? I know that subs are very protective of their wings, and I don't wanna make you uncomfortable."
"Or you don't wanna touch them?" Noah murmured, unable to help himself. Maybe Jayden just didn't want to touch his wings because they freaked him out. He knew it likely wasn't true, but he couldn't help the thought.
"That's not true," Jayden said, firmly. "I'd love to touch them – heck, I even touched them once without your permission because I couldn't help myself, but I don't want you to suggest this just because you feel you have to return my gesture or something."
"But I do want you to touch them," Noah confessed. "J-Just the feathers, not the wing bone or my oil glands. You can't touch my oil glands," he quickly added and looked up at him with stern eyes.
"I wouldn't dream of doing that without permission," Jayden said, smiling a bit. "And if you're sure you're comfortable with it—"
"I am," Noah stated firmly, giving the alpha a stubborn look.
Jayden smiled. "Okay. But let me know if you want me to stop, and then I'll stop right away, alright?"
Noah nodded. He swallowed nervously as Jayden stepped forward, and he clenched his eyes shut and tensed up when he saw him slowly reach out towards his wing. He expected to feel Jayden's hand in his feathers, but instead the alpha put his hand under his chin and leaned in to kiss him softly, making Noah blink his eyes open and look at him after he pulled away.
"I prefer if you aren't closing your eyes," Jayden explained, a small smile on his lips.
Noah blushed and nodded, and this time he kept his eyes open as he watched Jayden reach towards his wing. He couldn't suppress the gasp that escaped him when the alpha's hand made contact with his feathers, and he had to force himself not to flinch back at the touch. Jayden stilled, waiting for him to relax, before slowly moving his hand through the light grey feathers.
It was intimate and so very linked to trust. Noah's heart pounded like mad inside him, but he soon began relaxing when the alpha's hand running through his feathers began feeling nice. His knees shook a bit and a small moan escaped his mouth.
Jayden stared at the wings in absolute fascination. "God, they're so gorgeous…" he breathed, unable to stop exploring the somewhat rough feathers. Their texture felt a little like his own wings when they were soft, but still different and slightly softer. A submissive's wings were supposed to be a lot softer than this, but Jayden didn't mind. These wings were unique, and they were part of Noah.
"Do they feel odd?" Noah finally managed to ask, biting his lip as he feared the answer.
"Unusual, but not odd. I like them. They're kinda badass," Jayden chuckled, finally pulling his hand away and stepped back to look properly at Noah.
Noah blinked up at him, and a bright smile formed on his lips. "So you like them?"
Jayden laughed. "What shouldn't I like about them? Do you have any idea how gorgeous they are? I fucking love them," he grinned.
Noah's wings flared happily behind him. He had never expected anyone to tell him that, and he could tell that Jayden was being completely sincere. Unable to help himself, he reached up and wrapped his arms around Jayden's neck, pulling him down for a loving kiss.
Jayden was rather startled by that, but he soon grinned into the kiss and placed his hands possessively on Noah's hips. He couldn't help but brush his hand through the feathers again, making Noah jump a bit in surprise. Noah then responded by returning the wing-touch and grasping lightly at Jayden's hair with the hand that was on the back of his neck. They gasped and slowed down their kiss a bit. It became slow, loving, and exploring, and Noah shuddered every time Jayden's hand ran through his feathers. Noah touched the softened feathers of the alpha again, finding it pretty fascinating how touching them could make Jayden gasp softly into his mouth.
They both jumped in surprise when the door suddenly swung open, and Isaac was standing there, grinning like a smug idiot. "Ha! Busted! I caught Noah and Jayden kissing!" he sang, cheering at himself.
"Isaac, what are you doing?!" came Eden's voice from the hallway outside.
Noah stared at Isaac with wide eyes, leaning into Jayden's body and grasped his shirt in surprise. Jayden too was pretty startled, and he had immediately sharpened his feathers a bit so that Isaac wouldn't see them in their softened state.
Noah snapped out of his surprise and growled at Isaac who was still laughing in the doorway. "Isaac! Get out!" he growled, walking over to his bed to get his pillow and threw it at Isaac.
Isaac caught the pillow easily. "Aww, c'mon! It was such a sweet kiss, and you had your hands all over each other! Nothing to be ashamed of."
"What? Really?" Lily asked, popping up behind Isaac to see.
Noah just blushed even harder, and Jayden shifted a bit although he couldn't help but laugh at Noah's embarrassed reaction.
Castiel came over to them then. "Please stop barging into Noah's room like that; it's not polite, and it's an invasion of his privacy," he scolded at Isaac and sent him a deadly scowl.
Isaac laughed. "Sorry, but he should lock his door if he doesn't want unwanted visitors."
"I will!" Noah snapped at him.
Isaac just laughed and went over to the top of the stairs where Dean was standing. Eden, Lily, Natalie, and Adrian were there too, while Jason and Gabriel were still downstairs.
"Were they seriously kissing?" Dean asked, scrunching his nose a bit.
"Oh yeah, and Noah was totally into it. I peeked at them for ten seconds after I quietly opened the door just a little, but they didn't notice me until I swung it open. There was tongue-action and wing-touching and everything," Isaac grinned.
"Ohh, that's so romantic," Eden grinned excitedly.
Noah and Jayden could still hear them from inside the room, and Noah quickly went over to the door. "You are all so embarrassing! Good night," he grumbled and closed the door, making sure to lock it this time.
The others laughed, and Castiel went over to Dean, nudging him towards their bedroom to go to bed.
"They are just kissing, Dean. Don't look so constipated," Castiel told him.
"I don't look constipated," Dean denied. "And I'm totally fine with it."
Castiel stopped and searched Dean's eyes, squinting as he looked at him. He could feel through their bond that Dean was mildly freaked out but not like he used to be when thinking of one of their kids having a girl- or boyfriend. The angel smiled when he realized that Dean was indeed getting softer about it now, and he said good night to the kids before retreating into the bedroom with Dean, preparing to sleep.
Inside Noah's room, Noah was still blushing.
"That was awkward," Jayden chuckled after Noah had closed and locked the door.
"Yes…" Noah sighed. "And, um, I wanna get dressed for bed now, so…"
Jayden's eyes lit up in understanding. "Ah, okay. I'll turn around then." He turned around to face Noah with his back. "But I have seen you in nothing but your speedos before, you know," he added with a chuckle in his voice.
Noah blushed, having just pulled his shirt off. "T-That's different. Underwear isn't the same." It wasn't really that much different, he knew that, but he was wearing purple panties right now and he really didn't want Jayden to see them just yet. He wasn't ready for that.
"I suppose."
When Noah had stripped down for bed and had put on his pajama, he told Jayden to turn around again. He climbed into his bed, lying down and pulling the covers up while watching Jayden get ready for bed. He watched as Jayden reached behind himself to unzip his shirt below his wings before pulling it off. Noah swallowed, staring intensely at his boyfriend's naked chest and how ruffled his hair looked after taking the shirt off.
Jayden noticed it and smirked as he looked over at him. "Aren't you supposed to turn around?" he teased.
Noah flushed and quickly rolled over on his other side so that his back was facing Jayden. "S-Sorry."
The alpha laughed softly. "No problem. I was just kidding; I don't mind if you look."
Noah swallowed before glancing just slightly over his shoulder as Jayden took off his jeans, leaving him in just his boxers, before he put on the shirt he had borrowed from Adrian.
Jayden lay down on the mattress and got comfortable, and Noah turned off the lights.
"Good night," Noah spoke, cocooning himself in his blanket and tried not to think too hard about Jayden sleeping in the same room as him tonight.
"Good night," Jayden replied, a smile in his voice.

Author's notes: Gosh, this was such a hard chapter to write. I had so much trouble with it and I still don't entirely like how some parts turned out. It also turned out insanely long but I can't make myself cut anything away… Not much focus on Dean and Cas in this chapter, but I promise there will be more of them in the coming chapters.
Also, I'm glad that pretty much all of you want to see a spin-off with Jayden and Noah! :) I think I'll definitely write it – after Devoted ends. The story is headed towards its end and I just have a few more things I want to write about before it ends. I have no clue yet what to name the spin-off… hopefully I will think of something :) Maybe it won't be a title that is similar to the Bonded/Mated/Devoted titles, though. We'll see.
Anyway, thank you very much for reading, please review :)
