June 2044 (Castiel is 54 (almost 55), Dean is 56, Eden is 30 (almost 31), Adrian is 27, the twins are 23, Noah is 18, Jayden is 19 (almost 20), Lucas is 16, Jason is 31, Tony is 24 years old).
High school was just about to end and Noah wasn't sure if he was looking forward to that or not. Sure, he hated school because of the bullies and the looks he got in the corridors, and the homework wasn't much fun either, but he had friends. And he had Jayden. College would tear him apart from Jayden, Abby, and Lucas except for when they would make arrangements to see each other. Christie and Mick, however, would be attending college with him – if they all got admitted into their desired educations, at least.
The issue was constantly on Noah's mind, and every time he thought about it he felt helpless and sad that things were going to change soon. He didn't like changes much. He would curl up on his bed in the evening before bed and just keep thinking about it. He had spoken with about it Jayden recently and his boyfriend had assured him that he really had nothing to worry about; he'd find new friends and stay in touch with his old ones, and Jayden promised him that they'd see each other as often as possible when college started. His words reassured Noah a lot. Things were going to work out. They had to.
Noah was packing his laptop away after having had a written exam for his algebra class, and he chatted a bit with Amanda and Chanel before leaving.
He was so busy paying attention to something that Chanel was telling them that he didn't have a chance to dodge it when Jake – one of the beta angels who were almost always seated behind him in algebra – swung his bag up on his shoulder and purposefully let it hit Noah's wing as he did so. The impact sent waves of sharp pain through Noah's sensitive wing bone, especially since Jake had his laptop on his bag, which made it feel extra hard.
Jake and Tim both burst out laughing when they saw Noah give a pained yelp and flinch as he instantly folded his wings as tightly against his body as he could.
Noah turned his head and stared at the guys with wide eyes, still in shock over the sudden pain.
"Watch it, freak," Jake smirked mockingly.
"You're an ass!" Amanda growled at him. Both she and Chanel glowered at Jake as he didn't seem to be remotely sorry about what he had done.
Tim and Jake both continued to laugh, as did a few others who had witnessed it and who hadn't left the classroom yet. The two betas turned to leave, but had only just taken a few steps to walk away when they suddenly bumped into Brandon. They stopped and eyed the alpha warily, and their wings tensed nervously behind them as Brandon regarded them with a sharp, glooming glare.
"Having fun?" Brandon asked, his voice cold and stony as he glared between the beta angels with narrowed eyes.
Jake and Tim shared a look.
"Of course, man. You know how fun it is to tease someone who's a freak," Tim said, flashing Brandon a wary but cocky smirk.
Noah watched the scene intensely and he could practically feel the tension in the air as Brandon confronted the guys. Brandon had kept his word and had been making things up to Noah. He had helped a few times when someone harassed him in class, and even though Brandon's friends in that class had mostly turned their backs on him now for siding with Noah, he still stood up for him with his head held high.
Brandon's eyes narrowed at the word 'freak'. "No, actually I don't," he said, before suddenly reaching out and gave both guys a harsh shove in the chest, making them bump into a table behind them. The betas bumped into the table and clumsily tried to regain their balance. They groaned in pain when they hurt their butts somewhat on the impact, and Brandon's lips curled into a smug smirk. "I do now, though. That was kinda fun."
Amanda and Chanel both laughed out loud and Noah tried to contain his snickering when he saw the way Jake and Tim were staring at Brandon with wide, absolutely shocked eyes. There were three other people in class who also laughed when they watched the scene.
Jake and Tim both flushed in embarrassment and bewilderment before they clumsily straightened up and hurried the hell out of class. Brandon stepped aside and watched with a smirk as the beta angels practically ran to get away from him before he could humiliate them again. He glanced over at Noah then and gave him a small wink, as if saying 'you're welcome', before he turned and left the classroom without a word.
"Wow, I really like Brandon now," Amanda grinned.
"I didn't know he could be that nice," Chanel said, grinning as well.
Noah smiled and was grateful that Brandon had his back with the bullies in their algebra class. He winced as his wing was still sore from the impact and suspected it had probably left some bruising on the skin under his feathers. He was going to be able to feel that for a couple of days, probably.
Since his 4-hour long exam was over now, Noah was free to go home. He parted ways with Amanda and Chanel, but instead of going home he decided to find Lucas and see if he wanted to hang out for a bit. He knew that Lucas had just ended his music class at this hour, so Noah made his way over to the music's classroom that Lucas always had classes in, and waited outside for his friend to finish. Jayden also had a written exam that day and he should be out in thirty minutes. Noah would meet up with him afterwards.
After five minutes of waiting, the music's class finally ended and the students began leaving the classroom. Noah waited patiently for Lucas to appear, and when his friend finally emerged from the classroom he was stunned to see Noah waiting for him.
"Hi," Lucas grinned and went over to Noah immediately. The way his wings flared and his tail was moving behind him showed that he was genuinely happy to see Noah again, and that feeling was mutual.
"Hi," Noah smiled. "Want to hang out in the library for a while?"
"Sure. My classes are all over now and I don't have to be home for another two hours," Lucas spoke and started walking along with Noah towards the library. "How was your exam?"
"It was okay… It was kinda difficult. Someone bumped their bag into my wing, though… And now it really hurts," Noah muttered bitterly. He tried to move his wing a bit but the pain it caused immediately made him wince and stop trying to move it.
"Ow," Lucas cringed and eyed Noah's right wing in sympathy. "That really hurts, right? And angel wings are more fragile than demon wings, even with us submissives… I'm guessing you inherited that from Castiel?"
"Yeah, which is annoying in cases like this," Noah sighed.
They rounded a corner, and Noah frowned in confusion when Lucas suddenly started moving around behind him, as if hiding from someone. Noah looked up and saw a beta demon named Caleb standing a bit further down the corridor and typing something on his phone. It was the same beta who had stood up for Lucas a few times over the past couple of months, and Noah had often caught the guy staring at Lucas in the cafeteria when Lucas wasn't looking.
Noah didn't know Caleb except for the fact that he was a freshman. The beta had short dark blonde hair and jade eyes, and he was about Isaac's height. He was good-looking for a beta, and not as muscled or tall as alphas typically were.
"He always stares at me…" Lucas whispered as he continued to hide behind Noah and keep his head down.
Noah couldn't help but find it a bit cute and amusing how Lucas was trying to hide from the guy. "Maybe he likes you," Noah teased, but didn't try to stop Lucas from hiding behind him.
Lucas blushed furiously, and it got even worse when Caleb looked up as they passed him and spotted both of them.
Caleb's eyes widened and he instantly looked a little panicked when he saw Noah and Lucas both staring back at him (although Lucas quickly hid behind Noah again when his eyes met Caleb's). He frowned a bit when he saw the way Lucas was hiding behind Noah, but when Lucas knew that he had been caught hiding, he slowly came out and tried to walk normally next to Noah again, even though he continued to eye Caleb with caution.
Caleb followed them with his eyes, and Noah kept an eye on him as well. It looked like the beta wanted to approach them and say something, but he didn't. Noah wondered if it was because the guy was shy or because he didn't want to frighten Lucas by approaching them all of sudden.
Lucas seemed eager to get out of there, and as soon as they reached another corridor he sighed in relief and relaxed.
"I don't think he's that bad…" Noah spoke and looked at Lucas with a little smile.
"But I don't know what he wants from me. Why is he telling people to back off when they're mean to me? And why is he staring at me? I'm not that interesting, and guys usually don't stand up for subs. Maybe he's just another pervert that wants to use me, and I don't wanna let him…" Lucas murmured and stared at the floor as they walked.
Noah brushed his wing lightly against Lucas'. "He doesn't really strike to me as that kind of person. I don't think he wants to use you, but I don't know for sure. And you aren't that uninteresting," he said, smiling at his friend.
Lucas glanced at him somewhat skeptically. "You think?" he asked, a shy blush covering his cheeks.
Noah chuckled. "I think you're great, and if you ever find a boyfriend then I'm sure he will think you're great and interesting too."
Lucas smiled widely, but somewhat sheepishly. "I think you're great too."
Noah grinned, and together they entered the library when they reached it and found a secluded spot to sit down and chat at.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Noah sent a text to Jayden to tell him that he was hanging out with Lucas in the library, and Jayden texted him back that he was with Chris and Rick. They agreed to meet up after they were done chatting with their friends, since they had been planning to head to the swim center together that day. Noah wasn't so sure he could go, though. His wing was too sore.
After spending an hour and a half in the library together, Noah and Lucas got up to leave since Lucas had to be home soon. They went outside together and met Jayden just outside the main entrance to the school.
"Hey, guys," Jayden smiled and went over to them. He leaned in to press a quick kiss to Noah's lips, and Lucas watched them with a small smile.
They were standing in the warm sun, and there were a few people in the area around them, mostly students on their way home. There was chattering, car noise, and birds tweeting, the air smelled like summer and flowers.
"Hi," Noah smiled and shifted his bag a bit on his shoulder.
"Hi," Lucas replied too and gave Jayden a small smile. He didn't have a problem with Jayden since he knew that Noah trusted him and was happy with him, and he seemed like a very nice guy to Lucas. He was pretty much the only alpha that Lucas liked being around and he considered him a friend.
"What were you guys doing?" Jayden asked and looked between them with a curious smile.
"Watching some funny stuff on the internet and chatting," Noah replied. "What were you doing?"
Jayden shrugged a bit. "Just hanging out with Rick and Chris and reading some manga online with them. Rick got into this series which pretty much only shows boobs and dicks. Shows how mature he is sometimes," he chuckled.
Lucas' eyes widened in horror and Noah laughed at Jayden's words.
"So, how did the algebra exam go?" Jayden asked and looked at Noah.
"It was okay… Not sure I got a very good score, though… But I do think that I passed. Or so I hope."
"And he hurt his wing," Lucas added, casting a worried glance at Noah's wing.
Jayden's eyes widened. "What?! How?" He stepped closer and eyed Noah's wings in worry, immediately noticing that Noah wasn't moving in right wing when the submissive spread his wings slightly on reflex as Jayden stepped closer.
"Um, Jake from my class bumped his bag into it on purpose. Brandon handled it afterwards," Noah said, feeling a little crowded as Jayden stood right in front of him and inspected his right wing closely.
Jayden growled. "That fucking ass. Glad Brandon took care of him, even though I'm still a bit way about that guy." He stepped back a little and looked into Noah's eyes with concern. "Are you sure you're okay?"
Noah nodded and rolled his eyes a bit. "Yes, I'm not a baby. It's just a bit sore, so I don't think I'll be swimming today…"
"Well, let's just find something else to do then, okay? Don't want you getting hurt…" Jayden said in a soft voice and reached out to take a hold of Noah's right hand. He rubbed soothing circles into it with his thumbs and cradled it in his own bigger hands.
Noah liked feeling the alpha's rougher hands caress his skin, and he smiled at the softness and affection that Jayden was showing him. "Okay. And thanks."
Lucas watched them quietly and smiled softly at them as he sensed the love and trust between them.
Of course, it was rare that Jayden could hang out with both Noah and Lucas without other alphas making comments about it, and today wasn't an exception.
A group of junior jocks walked by, all of them staring at how the school's two only submissives were talking to Jayden. They were three alpha angels and one angel/human hybrid, all muscled and strong-looking.
"Always keeping the subs to yourself, huh? How about sharing?" one of the guys slurred, making his pals snicker behind him.
Jayden turned his head to glare at the guys, and both Noah and Lucas shifted uncomfortably.
"Yeah. Too much ass for you alone," one of the others said, eyeing Lucas in particular since they all knew that he wasn't Jayden's boyfriend like Noah was. In their eyes Lucas was nothing but free meat.
"You guys seem to have plenty of ass, especially with all that crap you're letting out," Jayden grit out in response. Noah and Lucas both struggled not to snicker too hard at that and provoke the guys further.
The two guys who had spoken growled and took a threatening step towards Jayden while their two friends seemed a little more wary.
Jayden just growled in response and spread his sharpened wings slightly. The alpha angels eyed his wings warily and seemed to have second thoughts about their challenge. Angels couldn't sharpen their wings, so demons often had an advantage during a fight. The guys slowly backed down but growled at Jayden and at the subs before they stalked out of there.
Lucas seemed very relieved when the alphas left, and Noah too relaxed once they were gone.
"Sexist assholes. I'm so tired of them," Jayden grumbled and grabbed the strap of his bag tightly.
"Me too. I hope college won't have too many guys like that…" Noah murmured.
Jayden's face softened as he looked at him. "I think some of the guys in college might be more mature than the ones here in high school, but they're probably still sexist. Just don't walk around too much on your own."
"I wish you'd be there too…" Noah murmured quietly and stared at the ground. He felt Lucas touch his leg with his tail just briefly to offer him some support and he was grateful for that.
Jayden stepped a little closer to him and curled his tail around Noah's leg. Reaching out his hand, he gently put it under Noah's chin and made him lift his head to look at him. "Hey… You've learned some self-defense with Lucas, so if anyone tries to grab you, you know what to do. And you're pretty good at giving those assholes some nice comebacks sometimes," he said with a soft chuckle.
Noah's lips twitched into a small smile. "I know. But I'm gonna miss your presence anyway. And Lucas' too."
Lucas chuckled and curled his tail in joy. "I'm gonna miss you guys too… But I've made a new friend in my music's class, so now I have three girls to hang out with."
Both Noah and Jayden turned to look at him in positive surprise.
"Really? Guess you'll be fine then," Jayden grinned.
"I'm still sad you're all leaving, though. You're graduating in less than two weeks already…"
"We'll still hang out, if you want," Noah said, grinning at his friend.
Lucas beamed at that.
They parted ways as it was time for Lucas to head home. He and Noah hugged, and Jayden nodded goodbye at him as Lucas headed over to the parking lot where he'd be picked up soon. Normally he took the city bus home (he was too scared to ride on the school bus), but he had called his foster parents earlier and asked them to pick him up at the school today.
Noah and Jayden then decided to take a small trip to the park and have an ice cream together since Noah couldn't swim in his current condition. The weather was great for hanging out in the park, and the two young lovers could spend hours there just hanging out, talking, kissing, watching things together on their phones, and eating something together.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Two weeks passed and Noah and Jayden finally graduated from high school at the end of June.
Their exams had gone well. Neither of them had failed any classes, but there were some subjects that they got a somewhat poorer score on. Now they both had to wait for confirmation that they had been accepted into their next education institutions – the local college for Noah and the culinary school for Jayden.
The graduation ceremony had gone well too, and Isaac, Lily, and Eden had managed to show up for it. The bullies had been rather quiet at the ceremony, and Noah was glad that both his and Jayden's last names started with a W, because that meant they got to sit next to each other at graduation.
Since graduation was a rather special occasion, Dean and Castiel had invited all the kids out for dinner at a nice restaurant in the city. They always ate out and celebrated it when one of them graduated, and Noah's graduation was no exception. Lily, Tony, Isaac, Eden, Jason, and Adrian were all joining them for the restaurant. Natalie had already made arrangements with her father and one of her brothers to spend the weekend with them along with Maya, so she couldn't come. Adrian, however, was still coming, and Eden had managed to get a babysitter for Daniel and Luna for the night.
Noah was excited to spend the evening with his family, and he couldn't wait for Adrian to arrive from L.A. His brother would first arrive at 5:30pm because of work, so everyone was waiting for him to arrive before going out.
Eden and Noah decided to take Bella out of for a walk at 5pm since the dog was getting rather restless and needed some exercise. The others stayed at home, waiting for Adrian to arrive.
"So, how does it feel to have graduated high school? Isn't it great to be out of that horrible place?" Eden asked him as they were headed back to the house after having walked around the neighborhood with Bella for almost half an hour already.
The weather was nice and sunny, and some of the neighborhood kids were playing in their front yards, screaming and having fun.
"Yeah, it is. High school kind of sucked, but Jayden and my friends made it bearable for me to go there. Now I'm just nervous about college," Noah murmured. He was holding Bella's leash and he struggled to control her when she ran over to a nearby pole to scent it and pee in the nearby grass.
Eden chuckled and brushed her tail and wing against Noah. "You'll be fine. You're smart and you're nice, and you'll make lots of good friends there."
"I hope… But I'm not good at making friends."
Eden gave him a reassuring smile. "Well, I think you've made some nice friends so far. Doesn't matter how many you have, as long as the ones you have are good friends – and I think yours are. Besides, you got a boyfriend and lost your virginity at a younger age than the rest of us – except for Adrian – so I do think your charms are working," she smirked.
Noah blushed and stared down at Bella instead. The dog was still sniffing around in the nearby bushes and seemed to be enjoying herself, although she did seem pretty eager to go home since she had begun tugging a bit harder on the leash now that they were getting closer to their house.
They looked up when a car passed them and they instantly recognized it as Adrian's silver Hyundai. Adrian smiled and waved at them as he passed, and Eden grinned and waved back at him along with Noah. They hurried back to the house and ran the rest of the way there, and Bella eagerly ran at their side to keep up.
They had only been four houses away, so by the time they arrived at the house Adrian had only just gotten out of the car.
"Hey, guys," Adrian grinned when he saw them.
Noah stopped in his tracks and stared at Adrian in absolute bewilderment when he saw his brother having a small beard. He hadn't really seen that on Adrian before since his brother always shaved and would only rarely have some visible stubble.
"Wow, what's up with the peach fuzz?" Eden asked and went over to touch Adrian's stubble curiously before pulling her hand back with a smirk.
"It's not 'peach fuzz', it's a beard, you dummy," Adrian groaned, rolling his eyes. "I don't really like having it, but Natalie said she wanted to know what I would look like with some beard on my face, so she persuaded me not to shave for four weeks. Just a little over one week until I can shave now…" He petted Bella who barked up at him and wagged her tail happily.
Eden laughed out loud and Noah laughed a bit too, finding it odd to see Adrian with a beard.
"Well, it actually doesn't look all too bad on you," Eden giggled.
"Natalie said that too… I'm relieved," Adrian sighed, clearly not happy with not being able to shave. "I haven't gotten used to this yet, though."
"Well, it's still nice to see you," Eden smiled and went forward to hug Adrian.
Adrian returned the hug and wrapped his arms around his older sister who was quite shorter than him. Afterwards, Adrian smiled widely at Noah and came over to hug his little brother tightly. "Congrats on graduating. Can't believe you're so old already."
"I'm not old," Noah grumbled into Adrian's shirt as the alpha hugged him. Adrian chuckled at his comment and brushed his tail against Noah's leg in affection.
They heard the front door open and looked over to see Dean coming outside with a big grin on his face.
"Hey. Finally arrived, huh?" Dean grinned and came over to them in the driveway. "Nice beard," he commented with a smirk before pulling Adrian into a hug.
"Thanks, dad," Adrian chuckled, hugging him back.
"Woohoo! Adrian has arrived! Now we can eat soon!" Isaac cheered in the doorway. The others squeezed their way out the door to go over and greet Adrian too.
Castiel smiled widely at his oldest son and admired the beard on his face before hugging him tightly. "Hello, Adrian. I hope you are well," he spoke.
Adrian smiled and returned Castiel's embrace. "Hey, papa. I'm good, thanks. And Natalie told me to greet you guys and say she's sorry she can't join us tonight."
"Don't worry about it. It's good that she spends some time with her brothers since she doesn't see them that often," Dean smiled.
Lily, Tony, and Jason came over to greet Adrian as well, and Adrian was half surprised that Jayden wasn't there too.
"You didn't bring Jayden with you?" Adrian asked, looking at Noah with a teasing smirk since he knew how addicted his brother was to his boyfriend.
"No… He's busy today with his own family, but he told me to greet you guys," Noah replied, keeping Bella in place on the leash as she tried to wander off towards the sidewalk when some children playing down the street caught her interest.
"Aww. How are you gonna survive the night without him, Noah?" Isaac cooed in a mocking and teasing tone behind them. He laughed at the glare that Noah sent him.
Lily shoved Isaac lightly. "Stop being an ass to him all the time."
"I'm not being an ass!" Isaac protested.
Castiel sighed and shook his head helplessly at them.
Eden turned to look at Adrian again, putting her hands on her hips as she scowled at her little brother. "And when are you and Natalie gonna invite us all over to celebrate your wedding? You two sneaky-heads got married in secret, after all, and it's been ages already."
Adrian and Natalie had gotten married last year, but in secret. They had told everyone about it later and had promised they would celebrate it with a party when there was time for it. Natalie hadn't wanted to get married with their families being present, since she didn't want her father and brothers to force her into a white dress. She wasn't one for wearing too girly clothes or dresses, and Adrian was fine with that. They had gotten married alone and had spent a romantic night together instead of a having a party.
"Sometime in late July or in August, probably," Adrian told Eden, chuckling at her.
"With your jobs you should be earning enough money to throw us one hell of a party!" Isaac exclaimed.
"Well, we'll try…" Adrian chuckled.
Castiel smiled at him. "We are looking forward to that."
"Yeah, though I'm still kinda insulted that you guys married all in secret," Dean muttered and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Sorry, dad, but that was just a decision we made," Adrian said with an apologetic smile.
Bella suddenly gave a happy bark, and the others looked over to see Kevin come jogging by. He came from the direction of his mother's house so he had obviously only just left to go for a run.
"Oh. Hi, guys," Kevin smiled and stopped to greet them. "Wow, it's rare that I see all of you out here."
"Hey, Kev. How's it going?" Dean smiled.
"Kevin!" Isaac grinned, and the others greeted him as well.
Kevin smiled between them before answering Dean's question. "It's going well. Just out for a little run since my mom and my girlfriend are busy talking about girly stuff inside and I don't wanna hang around for that."
"Your girlfriend?" Dean repeated, his eyebrows shooting up in surprise.
"Ohhh, Kevin's got himself a girlfriend now," Isaac grinned, almost teasingly.
Kevin blushed a bit as they all stared at him with grins and smiles. "Yeah… I'm finally able to have a girlfriend. Missouri really helped me learn to control my stupid abilities. I can't tell you guys how much that's changed my life."
"They are not 'stupid'; they are a rare gift which you should embrace," Castiel told him kindly.
"Yeah, it's a gift, not a curse," Lily agreed and smiled at Kevin.
Kevin looked unconvinced. "Well, you guys haven't lived with it. You have no idea how annoying it's been when I couldn't control it. I could never be with someone without seeing their memories and what's on their minds, and such things usually scare friends and girlfriends away, you know."
"But Missouri helped you out, right?" Eden asked. "So everything is fine now?"
"Yeah, thank god. I'm really glad that I met her." Kevin petted Bella when the dog panted happily and kept nudging her nose against his leg to get his attention. He smiled down at her and gave her a good rub.
"Is he a psychic or something?" Tony asked, looking between them in confusion. He hadn't met Kevin before and Lily had never mentioned his abilities before either.
Lily chuckled and curled her tail around her mate's leg. "Yeah, he is. He can sense people's memories and stuff."
"Oh. That sounds pretty cool."
"Everyone says that…" Kevin grumbled.
Dean laughed and came forward to give Kevin a friendly pat on the arm. "Come on, Kev. It can't be that bad anymore."
"Yeah, not anymore," Kevin agreed. He looked between all of them before frowning at Dean. "Are you guys celebrating something tonight or what? Since you're all gathered here…"
"Yep. Our little Noah here graduated high school, so Cas and I are taking all our little ducklings out to a restaurant to celebrate it," Dean said, giving Noah a teasing little smirk.
Noah scowled at his dad for calling him little and referring to him and the others as ducklings.
"Hey, we aren't ducklings!" Isaac protested, insulted.
Adrian too didn't seem very impressed with that label either, but Tony and Jason were both laughing their asses off, and Castiel couldn't help but snicker. Lily was scowling at her dad, as was Eden who crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at him.
Kevin laughed at their insulted faces. "Well, I hope you'll fun then. I'll go for my run now. It was cool seeing you all again." He glanced past Dean at Adrian whom he hadn't really seen for years. "And I almost didn't recognize you at all, Adrian."
Adrian touched his newly grown beard subconsciously. "Yeah, I hear that a lot these days…"
Eden snickered at him and bumped her tail against his in a teasing manner. Adrian shot her an annoyed glare in response.
"Well, I'm going. See you, guys," Kevin announced and waved at them as he ran off.
"Bye, Kevin!" the others yelled and waved back as he took off.
When Kevin was gone Isaac turned to Dean and Castiel and whined. "C'mon! Aren't we leaving soon? I'm starving here!"
Castiel rolled his eyes at him. "I told you that you should have eaten something earlier."
"But I wasn't hungry then!"
"Then it's your own fault," Lily murmured and crossed her arms as she regarded her twin with a scowl.
"It's never the victim's fault!" Isaac argued stubbornly.
Adrian laughed at that comment. "You aren't a victim."
Castiel sighed as the kids bickered back and forth, and Dean chuckled as he came over to him and wrapped an arm around his angel's waist.
"Just like the old days…" Dean smiled and leaned in to press a soft kiss to Cas' temple.
Castiel leaned into his mate's touch and smiled at his words. "Yes. Very much so."
Dean smiled at him before interfering with the kids' bickering as Isaac, Lily, Adrian, and Eden started discussing back and forth about Isaac being impatient and rude, while Noah, Jason, and Tony mostly snickered at the interaction.
"Okay, guys!" Dean said, clapping his hands to make them stop talking. "Let's get prepared for going out already, shall we? Unless you suddenly want leftovers instead."
"No way!" Isaac exclaimed before hurrying inside to get ready.
The others laughed and headed inside as well, and Noah tugged on Bella's leash to make her follow them as they went back into the house.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The restaurant was near the center of the city and it was a middle class one. Dean and Castiel had been there a few times before for their anniversaries and they had always been served good food and wine at the place. It wasn't a place that most upper class snobs would visit, which was good because it was common for the richer population to be more racist.
They had driven there in two cars – Dean, Cas, Eden, Jason, and Isaac in the Tahoe, and Adrian had taken Noah, Lily, and Tony with him in his car. Noah had gotten to ride in the passenger seat next to Adrian, which he had enjoyed very much. They had even sung along on a song on the radio, and Lily and Tony had joined in. It had been a lot of fun and the siblings had missed hanging out with each other the way they used to.
They all met up after having parked the cars and then walked over to the restaurant together. Everyone was wearing nice clothes and shoes, and Dean had strictly banned them from wearing jeans and sneakers. It wasn't a too formal restaurant, but it was expected that you dressed nicely when visiting.
As they walked over to the restaurant, Isaac was annoying Adrian by walking behind him and trying to grab his tail whenever the opportunity came. Adrian growled at his brother and tried to keep his tail as far away from him as possible.
They arrived at the restaurant where there was a small line of newly arrived guests at the door. Dean had reserved a large table for all of them, so they just had to wait to be able to go inside before a waiter or a waitress would lead them to their table.
"Stop being so annoying!" Adrian snapped at Isaac and curled his tail around his own waist to get it away from Isaac as they stood outside the place and waited.
Isaac barked out a laugh. "Sorry, I can't help it."
Adrian groaned and turned his back to him, trying his best to ignore him. The others snickered at their interaction.
"You're such a child, Isaac," Lily said, smiling fondly at her twin.
Isaac just smirked at her before a beer can lying around on the sidewalk right next to him suddenly caught his attention. It was lying in a pretty bad place, right where old people and people who didn't pay attention could easily trip over it, so Isaac decided to do society a favor by kicking it out of the way. He gave the presumed empty can a sharp kick, but to his horror it flew over to the people standing in front of them by the restaurant's door. The can had only been half empty, so the remaining beer inside it splashed all over a young demon submissive who was standing behind his brother, parents, and a lady that could be his aunt or something by the door. The beer hit his shoes and splashed over the lower part of his pants, and Isaac immediately knew that his action hadn't been a very good idea.
The young submissive gasped and spread his wings slightly as he stared down at his feet in utter disbelief. He was about Noah's age with dark blonde hair, and when he raised his gaze to look at the person who had done this to him, Isaac was met by a stunning pair of light blue eyes. The sub stared back at him in shocked disbelief, which soon turned to humiliation and then suddenly slight anger.
"Oh shit! I'm so sorry!" Isaac blurted, cringing at himself.
The submissive's family had just taken a step inside the restaurant when it had happened and were busy talking to a waiter, so they barely even noticed what was going on. The sub, however, was still standing outside when it had happened, and he glared back at Isaac now. The sub groaned and looked rather annoyed. "Watch what you're doing!" he growled, clear irritation in his voice. "These shoes were new…" His voice suddenly turned smaller at that, which made Isaac cringe in guilt.
"Sorry, man. Wasn't on purpose," Isaac said, holding up his hands to avoid conflict. "You can just wash them, you know."
Lily swatted Isaac on the arm when she noticed what he had done. "Isaac, you dummy! What are you doing?"
"Ow," Isaac muttered and rubbed the spot on his arm that Lily had hit. "I didn't do it on purpose, and I said I was sorry!"
The sub glared back at him for a few more seconds before his mother called him inside. His family had obviously still not noticed what had happened, and the sub sent Isaac one final scowl before he went inside to his family. When Isaac peeked in through the door he could see the sub's family finally having noticed that his shoes and pants were wet, and the boy seemed to explained them what had happened before they walked over to their seats and Isaac lost sight of them.
"Isaac, that was not very nice," Castiel said, disapproval in his voice and in his eyes as he looked at him.
"Yeah, not cool. You don't treat a sub like that," Adrian murmured.
"It was an accident! I was just trying to get the can out of harm's way. Damnit," Isaac groused, sighing in frustration.
"Well, you apologized to him and that's good. Let's just head inside now," Dean spoke and went inside when the staff was ready to receive them.
The others followed, and Noah shot Isaac a sympathetic glance when he felt how genuinely upset he was that he had messed up that sub's new shoes. Of course it could be washed off, but it wasn't cool to sit in a nice restaurant with wet shoes and pants and smell like beer.
It got even worse for Isaac when it turned out that the large table that they got seated at was right next to the table where that submissive demon and his family were sitting. Isaac's eyes widened in horror, and when he saw the sub look up and realize this too, he immediately made sure to get a seat as far away from the guy as possible where he couldn't see him that well.
Noah got seated on the side of the table closest to the other family, and he and the demon submissive stared briefly at each other since it wasn't often that submissives met other subs around their own age. Noah offered the boy a small smile before he turned his attention back to his family at the table, and the other sub did the same.
They were seated by a table for eight people. Dean, Castiel, Noah and Adrian sat on one side, and Lily, Tony, Eden, and Jason sat on the other side. Isaac got seated at the table end with a chair from another table, since they didn't have tables for 8+ people, and he was seated between Dean and Lily there. Adrian and Jason were sitting in the far other end of the table, by the wall. Isaac didn't mind sitting at the table end, though; he liked sitting there and having more space around him, and Dean and Castiel mostly blocked his view of that sub from earlier, which made Isaac relax more.
The restaurant was nice. It had a cozy atmosphere, candles on the tables, pretty paintings on the walls, and wooden support beams all around the place. The walls had a light creamy color, the tablecloths were white, and the wooden beams and frames were warm brown. The guests were of all species – humans, angels, demons, and hybrids. Most of them were 20-70 years old, and there were only two tables that had small kids at them.
Their waitress was a young human girl, and she was polite when she took their orders and kept smiling at them. She had obviously never really seen any angel/demon hybrids before, much less so many of them, and her staring wasn't as subtle as she was trying for it be.
Lily rolled her eyes at Isaac when he checked out the waitress' ass when she turned to leave after having taken their orders. "You're unbelievable."
"What?" Isaac said and turned to look at her with a pout. "Not my fault that she has a nice ass."
"Isaac, please don't say that in public," Castiel groaned. Dean laughed next to him and casually slung his arm over the back of Castiel's chair. Their wings were all free since the chairs had no armrests, and there was a reasonable amount of space between each chair to give them room for their wings.
"He has no social manners," Adrian murmured from the other end of the table.
"Hey, I heard that!" Isaac snapped and glared over at his brother.
Lily chuckled at them and leaned a bit back in her chair. She placed her hand on her abdomen and smiled between her family members who were chatting back and forth now. She cleared her throat a bit before saying, "Guys… I have some news and I hope it's not a bad time to share it."
Everyone turned their attention to her, staring at her with curious gazes. Tony smiled next to her and squeezed her free hand.
"What is it?" Castiel asked, inching a bit forward in his chair as all his attention was on Lily now.
Lily glanced between all of them and shifted shyly. "Tony and I are gonna have a baby soon… If things go well this time." She smiled down at her still flat stomach and rubbed it tenderly.
Isaac's jaw dropped and everyone stared at her and Tony in surprise, gasping at the fantastic news.
Eden squealed happily next to Tony. "Really? That's awesome! Congratulations!"
"Wow, congrats," Adrian grinned, overwhelmed by the news.
Castiel hadn't felt so overwhelmed with happiness for a long time. Happy tears threatened to prickle in his eyes and he smiled at his daughter in amazement and joy.
Dean grinned wider than he had for a long time. "Really? Wow, that's awesome news. Congratulations! I'm so happy for you both."
"Yeah, congrats," Noah grinned, thrilled by the thought of Lily and Tony finally having a baby together.
Jason grinned next to Eden. "That was about time."
Lily blushed sheepishly and smiled at them. Eden got up to hug her sister, and Castiel got up as well to hug his daughter and show her how happy he was with the news. Lily hugged them back, smiling wider than she had for a long time, and Tony grinned as Eden patted his shoulder and congratulated him.
The mood at the table was cheery and joyful, and even Isaac was now grinning at the good news.
"Wow. My twin's having a baby. That's… so weird," Isaac said, grinning in excitement.
Lily laughed at his comment and moved her tail over to his between their chairs and entwined them in a loving gesture. "It'll be even weirder when it's your turn to be a parent."
"I'm not making any mini-Isaacs just yet, though," Isaac chuckled.
"Good, 'cause one Isaac is enough," Adrian commented.
"Hey!"
The others laughed, and their waitress finally came back to their table to serve them their drinks. She poured up wine for Dean, Castiel, Tony, Eden, and Jason, while Lily, Isaac, Adrian, and Noah stuck with coke for their dinner. Adrian and Isaac were driving home so they wouldn't be drinking any alcohol that evening. Lily refused to drink when she was pregnant and Noah didn't feel like drinking wine for dinner tonight. He had actually come to like white wine after Castiel had shared a bottle with him a few weeks ago, so it wasn't because he disliked it that he didn't want any; he just didn't feel like it tonight.
"Am I the only one that thinks it's so weird that Noah has already graduated high school and Lily is pregnant all of sudden?" Jason asked after the waitress had left.
"No, you aren't. My siblings are growing up way too fast," Adrian grinned and reached out to ruffle Noah's hair fondly.
Noah blushed and shied away from his brother's touch. "Stop it," he whined softly and corrected his hair.
Adrian gave him a warm laugh and brushed their wings together in a loving gesture. Noah couldn't help but lean into his touch.
"I think you're all growing up too damn fast," Dean murmured and cast a glance around at all his kids. Castiel chuckled softly next to him and reached out to grab Dean's hand under the table, giving it a small squeeze. Dean turned to look at him with a fond smile, and their mating bond flared with happiness inside them.
Eden smiled at her parents. "I know what you mean. I already think that Daniel and Luna are growing so fast… Daniel is already 5."
"5 already? Wow, I thought he was still 4," Tony said.
"Nope, he turned 5 a month ago," Eden smiled.
Dean groaned. "I'm gonna have trouble keeping track of when which grandkid has a birthday when there's more of them. Cas, you gotta write it all down on our calendar," he said, looking at his mate.
"I already have. It's on the fridge, which you use every day, so it shouldn't be that hard to miss," Castiel spoke, rolling his eyes somewhat.
Isaac snickered. "Dad's just blind."
"Well, I can see it, but I don't check it for birthdays every time I look at it," Dean pointed out. He scowled half-heartedly at Cas for making it sound like he was blind. The angel just chuckled and gave him a small, teasing smirk.
"Oh!" Lily suddenly exclaimed before turning to look at Isaac all of sudden. "How'd your audition go at the theater in L.A. two days ago? Did you get the job?"
Isaac had been applying to a lot of theaters recently to get a steady job as an actor there. His acting career was going rather well on TV and he had been on three shows so far. Since he had only performed as a demon character and had had his wings colored completely red, not all viewers or fans knew that he was an angel/demon hybrid, but the fans that knew about it had mixed feelings. Some thought it was awesome that an angel/demon hybrid was acting on TV while others were outraged by it.
"It went pretty good; I think they liked me. They're first gonna call me back and give me an answer next week, though…" Isaac replied.
"Well, I hope they hire you so that you can finally get more money and buy your own place. I'm getting tired of you living in my guestroom every time you're shooting something in L.A.," Adrian muttered.
The others laughed.
"Why? Is it that bad?" Dean teased.
Adrian scowled at him. "Well, he complains about my cooking, he sings loudly in the shower just to annoy me and make Natalie laugh at me for it, he steals my socks, he watches dirty movies on his laptop in the living room after we've gone to bed, and he's bad at cleaning up after himself."
"Hey! I got better at it," Isaac cut in, sounding offended. "Natalie's scary face when she told me I should get rid of my own candy wrappers was lesson enough for me."
Castiel groaned. "Isaac… I thought I had raised you better…"
"Sorry, papa," Isaac chuckled, looking slightly guilty.
"That does sound pretty annoying," Eden giggled.
Noah then looked over at Isaac with a curious tilt of his head. "How is it going with the fandoms' reception of you anyway? You've never told us much about that…"
"Ah, right," Isaac said, grinning and leaning back in his chair. "Well, most of them love me, and others are just racist dumbasses. My new character on the show The Sorcerer's Redemption is actually quite popular, and the show runners are considering making my character appear more later on. And I actually heard from one of the producers that my presence on the show has started some pretty interesting debates about angel/demon relationships and hybrids, and I've got a few reporters that wanna interview me about it."
"Wow," Eden said, amazed that Isaac's career was suddenly starting to go so well.
"Then you better say something nice," Dean added, a firm expression on his face as he looked at Isaac.
"Sure. I'll make everyone like us," Isaac smirked.
The others smiled, feeling a little hope that the media would perhaps finally say something positive about angel/demon relationship and the hybrids.
After another ten minutes of chatting, the waitress finally came over with their orders. They had ordered different things from schnitzels to beef, pork meat, and steaks, and they continued chatting as they ate together. Castiel couldn't help but smile at Lily every now and then and watch how happy she and Tony looked with her newly discovered pregnancy.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
When they were done eating they stayed at the restaurant and continued to chat and talk. Everyone was having fun and enjoying the social time, so none of them were eager to leave the place yet. They were going to order some dessert in a few minutes when their stomachs had recovered a bit more from their large meals.
They were laughing as they listened to a funny story from Eden's work, and just after Eden had finished telling them about it, Isaac suddenly got up from his chair. "I have to use the little boys' room now. Be right back," he said, glancing around to see where the toilet was before disappeared in that direction.
"Have fun," Adrian told him, laughing when Isaac gave him the thumbs up without looking back.
They continued talking, and Noah's attention was caught when he suddenly saw the submissive demon from the table behind him get up and pass by their table. The sub passed by Isaac's chair and then disappeared in the direction of the bathrooms, but he returned after just ten seconds and went back over to his seat behind Noah to sit down again. Noah figured he had probably only needed to wash his hands since he got back from the bathrooms so quick.
A minute later, Isaac finally returned to the table.
The others were talking eagerly about something as Isaac went back to his chair and sat down on it. The moment he sat down, however, everyone's eyes widened in horror as a loud, prolonged series of obscene farting noises came from Isaac's direction. The whole restaurant froze and everyone turned to look at him as the noises continued for another five whole seconds.
Isaac just sat there, his face frozen in complete mortification and his eyes wide like saucers as the farting noises came from under his butt. When the noises finally subsided, he still sat there with a dumbfounded look on his face, and his family stared back at him in a way that was almost comical.
There were some disgusted looks around the restaurant now and people began whispering around them.
"Isaac!" Castiel chided in outrage.
"T-That wasn't me!" Isaac exclaimed.
Lily and Dean burst out laughing, and the others laughed too as Isaac reached in under his butt and pulled out a flat fart cushion which had been the source of the obscene noises.
"Boy, you should behave yourself!" an old human lady chided from one of the nearby tables. She and her husband glared at him in disgust.
"Hey, it's wasn't me! Someone put this here!" Isaac said and got up from his chair to show the fart cushion to the other guests. People finally seemed less disgusted and they turned their attention back to their own food again. Isaac stared around at them before he turned his head to stare at his family with narrowed eyes. "Which one of you did this?" he asked, eyeing them all suspiciously.
"It wasn't me!" Lily laughed when everyone turned to look at her since she was sitting next to Isaac and could have easily put the fart cushion there without the others seeing it.
"It wasn't me either," Dean chuckled, since he could also have done it.
"Then who was it?!" Isaac demanded, completely clueless about who could have done if it wasn't his own family.
A sudden laugh followed by a series of snickering from the other table caught Isaac's attention then. He glanced over at the table where the sub from earlier was sitting with his brother, parents, and a lady who was probably his aunt, and then saw the sub laughing and snickering at him. When their eyes met, the sub's lips curled into a smug smirk, and Isaac knew then who had done it.
"It was you?!" Isaac exclaimed, gaping at the boy in utter disbelief.
"Kaylen!" the sub's mother exclaimed then, seemingly unaware of what her son had done right until that moment.
The sub – Kaylen – just laughed and smirked over at Isaac. "That's for getting my shoes and my pants wet."
Kaylen's older brother cracked up, though their parents and the lady seemed a little less impressed about it.
Isaac just stood there and stared at the sub in a mixture of disbelief and amazement. He had never had someone prank him in public like this before, much less a stranger or a submissive, and he had absolutely no idea how to responded to that. He closed his mouth when he realized it was still open, and Kaylen snickered at him before Isaac slowly turned and sat back down in his chair.
The others were laughing out loud now, especially when they saw Isaac's dumbfounded face.
"Oh wow, someone actually pranked Isaac. I can't believe it," Adrian laughed.
"Wow, that sub is good," Eden grinned, laughing at Isaac's face when she said that.
Isaac glowered between all of them as they laughed at him. "Har har, very funny," he grumbled and got settled properly in his seat again. He continued to be annoyed as his family all laughed at him and at what had happened. He couldn't deny the fact that it had been pretty damn genius, and he couldn't help but be rather fascinated with that submissive now. He glanced towards Kaylen and caught only a small glimpse of him between Dean and Castiel's wings, but he couldn't see him properly from his current seat. He glanced down at the fart cushion which he was still holding in his hands, but he felt a little wary about handing it back just yet.
After a few minutes the waitress came back to take their dessert orders, and soon after that they all enjoyed their ice cream, pancakes, and pie. Dean of course had ordered pie for himself, but he snatched a bit of ice cream from Cas' plate as well, only to have the angel slap his hand away since he didn't like when Dean stole food from him.
Noah noticed that Isaac was a little more quiet than usual during the dessert and that he kept glancing towards the other table where Kaylen and his family were sitting. Lily had noticed this too and kept smirking at her twin who tried not to look at her when he noticed her smirk.
Just when they had finished dessert, Kaylen and his family got up to leave.
Isaac quickly shot to his feet and hurried over to stop Kaylen as the submissive started walking towards the door with his family. "Hey," he called, making Kaylen stop and turn around. "You, uh, forgot this," Isaac said, handing the fart cushion back to him.
Isaac's knees suddenly felt a little weak as he stood there in front of the submissive demon, and it got worse when the boy stared back at him with his light blue eyes. The boy had a pretty face, although his features were a tiny bit more boyish than Noah's. He didn't seem to be much older than Noah either, perhaps only a year or two.
Kaylen blinked at him and carefully took the fart cushion from Isaac's hands. "Thanks. But you could have kept it."
"Nah," Isaac shrugged. "And why on earth are you walking around with that thing anyway?" he asked, knowing that fart cushions weren't something that any normal person would just carry around with them.
Kaylen's lips curled into an askew smile. "My brother had it with him. He just got home from some party with his friends, so I'm guessing he got it from them. He went straight with us here afterwards so he probably didn't get to remove it from his pocket."
"Ah. Sounds like an awesome party."
Kaylen chuckled at that, somewhat shyly, and Isaac couldn't help but stare at him.
Kaylen's family had already gone outside, and Isaac could see the brother standing in the doorway now, obviously about to go inside to get his little brother, but when he saw Isaac talking to him he slowly backed down and stayed in the doorway to wait for him.
"I'm sorry about getting your shoes wet," Isaac said then, rubbing his neck guiltily. "And for getting your pants wet too." Kaylen raised his gaze to stare at him then and Isaac froze. "That… came out wrong, didn't it?"
Kaylen laughed out loud at that. "Yeah, a bit."
Isaac cringed a bit. "Well, I was just trying to kick the beer can away so that people don't trip over it. I guess I'm not good at kicking things, 'cause it hit you instead."
"You kicked that guy on The Sorcerer's Redemption pretty good, though. Even though it was probably fake."
Isaac's eyes widened. "Oh, you watch the show?"
"Yup, and I recognize you from it. Your wings look better with their real colors, though," Kaylen said, a shy smile tugging his lips as he looked at Isaac's wings.
Isaac grinned, his tail curling in joy and shyness behind him.
Kaylen glanced over his shoulder towards his brother who was waiting for him to come outside already. "Um, I gotta go…" he said, turning his head to look at Isaac again with an apologetic smile.
"Ah, okay," Isaac said, hating how awkward he felt all of sudden. Kaylen was about to turn to leave when Isaac suddenly blurted out, "Can I have your number?"
Kaylen stared back at him shocked surprise, clearly taken aback by that question. Isaac almost regretting asking.
"Uh, it's okay if you don't wanna give it. It just kinda flew out of my mouth…"
The submissive chuckled and his tail and wings moved sheepishly behind him. "I think you're the kind of guy who blurts out a lot of weird things all the time, am I right?"
Isaac huffed a laugh. "Pretty much."
Kaylen chuckled again before reaching out his hand, palm side up. "If you hand me your phone I'll give you my number. But just so you know it, phone sex isn't my thing."
Isaac immediately reached into his pocket to take out his phone and hand it to the boy. "It can be taught, you know," he smirked cockily.
Kaylen laughed at that and started plugging his number into Isaac's phone before he handed it back to him. "I'm Kaylen, by the way. Nice to meet you." He reached out his hand to shake Isaac's, offering him a polite smile as he looked at him.
Isaac shook his hand firmly. "I'm Isaac, but I guess you already knew that."
The submissive demon chuckled and was just about to pull his hand back when Isaac suddenly pulled it up to his mouth and placed a soft kiss on the back of his hand. Kaylen's face went completely red, since this had obviously never happened to him before, and Isaac smirked at him before gently letting go of his hand.
Kaylen gave him an awkward but very cute and shy smile before he turned around and walked over to the exit to join his family. He cast one final glance over his shoulder at Isaac before leaving, and he blushed a bit when Isaac gave him a cocky smirk.
When Kaylen was gone, Isaac swirled around and headed back to his family. His face was one big grin and there was an odd, tingling feeling in his stomach that he had never felt before. He sat back down on his chair and was met by his family's curious smiles.
"Aww, I think Isaac is in love," Eden teased, snickering when she saw the dreamy grin on her brother's face.
"Shut up, man!" Isaac groused, feeling embarrassed.
"Ohh, he really is in love," Lily grinned, poking Isaac teasingly on the shoulder with her finger.
Isaac groaned and sent them all a deadly glare as they laughed at him. "Well, he's an interesting person and his butt looks nice…"
Castel shook his head helplessly at that comment.
"Well, as long as his butt looks nice then I guess you like him," Dean laughed.
"Did you get his number?" Tony asked.
Isaac shot him a cheeky grin. "I always get their numbers."
The others laughed again, and they finished up their drinks before it was time to leave.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
They had spent over two hours at the restaurant and it was dark when they came outside again.
Isaac seemed to be in a good mood, which made the others smile knowingly at him. Noah couldn't help but smile whenever he looked at Isaac's excited face. Clearly something had been going on between Isaac and the sub from earlier, and Noah hoped that the two would see each other again someday.
Dean slung his arm around Cas' shoulders as they headed back to the car, and the angel wobbled a little when Dean put too much of his weight onto him.
"Dean, you're getting drunk," Castiel groused.
"Mm, just a little," Dean smiled and pressed a kiss to the angel's head. "It was a nice evening, though."
Castiel smiled. "Yes, it was. I'm so excited for Lily and Tony and their little baby…"
Dean grinned. "We're gonna be swimming in grandkids soon."
Castiel chuckled, though he didn't mind having a lot of grandchildren. They brought joy in everyone's life, and he liked to watch them grow up the way he had watched his own kids grow up.
Noah and Adrian walked in front of Dean and Castiel on the way to the cars in the nearby parking lot, and Adrian glanced down at his little brother as they walked side by side. "Nervous about college?" he asked, bumping their wings together.
"A bit. I'm sad that Jayden isn't going to be there too…" Noah replied, slumping his wings somewhat behind him.
"You'll see him often enough," Adrian reassured him. "I doubt that he would let your relationship end just because you won't be going to the same school. And the culinary school he's going to is close by, isn't it?"
"Yeah, it is."
"Good. Then there's no problem," Adrian chuckled and slung his arm around Noah's shoulder until they reached his car.
Lily and Tony would be riding with Adrian and Noah again, but before they could get in Eden suddenly approached Lily and smiled as she gently grabbed her sister's hands.
"I'm so happy that you and Tony are having a baby. I'm sure everything will be fine this time," Eden said, beaming at her sister.
Lily smiled and squeezed Eden's hands. "Thanks, I hope so too. This whole pregnancy thing is kinda scary, though…"
Eden chuckled. "You have both me and papa to ask questions about it. And believe me, it's not that bad being pregnant. I quite liked it."
"Really? You did nothing but complain to me," Jason cut in from somewhere behind her.
Lily giggled as Eden turned to glare at Jason.
"You try having a baby kick your bladder all the time!" Eden snapped before looking at Lily again. Her expression softened. "No but really, I liked it – except for the back pains and the toilet visits towards the end, of course."
Lily chuckled. "I know. And thanks."
Eden grinned at her and Tony before going over to the Tahoe with Dean, Cas, Jason, and Isaac. "See you guys when we get home."
"Yeah. And drive decently, Isaac!" Adrian said, scowling over at his brother.
"I always do, don't I?" Isaac retorted before getting into the driver's seat and waited for the others to get in as well.
They all got into the cars to drive home after a lovely night at the restaurant together.
It still felt a little surreal to Noah that high school was over and college was awaiting him next.
To Dean and Castiel it also felt unreal and strange, since they would very soon be all alone in the house when Isaac would find his own place and Noah would start in college. It was a painful thought to be alone in the house without any of the kids there, but they tried not to think too hard about it. Right now, having Noah at home was good enough for them, and they were going to enjoy the last bit of time they had together with him while he was living in the house.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Author's notes: Again an unbeta'ed chapter so I apologize if you've found any mistakes. Feel free to point them out to me :)
I had realized that I forgot to let Adrian and Natalie get married, so I threw in a mention of it in this chapter. I won't be writing their wedding celebration, though. Also, the show that Isaac is on named The Sorcerer's Redemption is just some title I thought up; it's not real. I hope that you guys liked Kaylen, though ;) It was actually my intention to have Isaac's love interest be female, but I decided to change it to a submissive instead. Don't count on any of them having submissive children though, since subs are quite rare and I think this family has enough submissives in it as it is.
Just one more chapter left now! I feel so sad that I have to end this story :( But I will write the spin-off, though you will mainly see Noah and Jayden in it, but also their families whenever it's relevant and when I can squeeze them into a chapter, so you will get to see Dean, Cas, and the other kids as well :)
Anyway, thank you so much for reading, please leave a review! :)
