Chapter Text

 

 

“Castiel! Get up, now!” A voice threatened as blue eyes opened to yelling downstairs, he...absolutely hated when he was woken up before his alarm. Castiel glared as his alarm one moment later started to go off, playing some happy song. Castiel didn’t even know why he bothered. Castiel pulled himself from his bed, getting dressed. 

 

Castiel walked down the stairs to see his mother getting food ready for his sibling. His mother seemed...very disorganized and not her normal graceful self. Her hair was all over the place as she pulled burnt toast from the toaster. Castiel eyed her attempt at a normal human breakfast. Everything was charred beyond all recognition. 

 

“Um...Mom?” Castiel asked as he touched the food poking it. They...weren’t human so of course, human traditions were beyond them. “Is it supposed to look that way?”

 

“No.” His mother pushed her red hair out of her face turning her phone over showing what it was supposed to look like. Castiel glanced over at his young two-year-old brother who was attempting to bite into the toast which wouldn’t give.

 

“Alfie. Y...Yeah, D-D...Don’t eat that.” Castiel took it from him before he offered him a cup of blood. Alfie took it drinking up the blood contently. “Mom, why bother to cook anyways? We don’t need it, we are vampires, not humans.”

 

“Because now that we have been hidden away, we need to get used to this...human world.” His mother rolled her eyes. “Once a family of royal status, now we live with...our lunches.”

 

“Rowena. You know we had no other choice.” Castiel’s father came down fixing his tie which he didn’t know how to exactly to use. “Either we would be flayed like a fish or live in this...world. I chose our life.”

 

“What kind of life is this, Boris?” Rowena stated. “We used to have servants. Now I have to...work.” 

 

“Well, at least we will live.” Boris kissed her before he took a toast using it as a coaster. “So what is for breakfast?” Castiel, Alfie, and Rowena exchanged looks as Boris innocently used toast as a coaster. 

 

“Blood.” All three spoke as Boris smiled.

Castiel sat in his mother’s car staring out at the kids running around their high school attempting to head to class. Castiel had no desire to play this game with humans, however, he was the normal age of a high school freshman year. Therefore to blend in, he had to go.

 

“It’s only till we can figure out how to get our kingdom back,” Rowena spoke fixing his suit tie. “Can you just play along?” Castiel nodded as Rowena kissed his forehead. “My young prince. Go enjoy the human school. Don’t eat anyone.” 

 

“Okay, mom,” Castiel spoke climbing out of the car holding his backpack, watching his mother drive away. Castiel turned back towards the school when hands shot out pushing him onto the pavement. 

 

“What the hell are you wearing, fag?” The older kid snorted kneeling down to Castiel grabbing his suit before he got punched in the face. Castiel winced. Just because he was a vampire doesn’t mean they don’t feel pain. Castiel earned himself another punch as the kid sat on his arms taking cheap shots on him. 

 

Another kid who arrived at school late noticed Castiel being beaten down. The kid cursed under his breath glanced towards the door then back at Castiel before the kid tossed down his backpack. 

 

“GET OFF HIM, RAPHAEL!” The kid yelled bolting towards the bully tackled him off of Castiel. Castiel sat up seeing the human hero beating Raphael in the face before the two lackeys hit the kid off of Raphael. 

 

“What are you doing?!” A voice yelled from the front of the high school.

 

“Shit, a teacher. Run!” Raphael yelled as the other two boys tried to take off. The kid sat up holding his bloody nose. 

 

“Hi, Ms. Milton.” The kid called up as the woman walked over to Castiel and the human. 

 

“Dean…” Ms. Milton sighed cupping Dean’s face before she turned looking at Castiel. “...and you must be, Castiel. Come on, you two. Let’s get you to the nurse.” Dean got up holding his bloody nose as Dean held out a hand to Castiel. 

 

“You’re the new kid?” Dean smiled as Castiel hesitantly took the hand up. “Sorry, this isn’t the best first day.”

 

“Is that a normal welcome here?” Castiel spoke face covered in blood, his eyes looking down at the Dean’s blood on his hand. Just wanting a taste but he resisted. 

 

“No, Raphael, Uriel, and Zachariah are jerks,” Dean stated. “I’m Dean, by the way.”

 

“Castiel,” Castiel whispered as Dean smiled as they sat in the nurse’s office waiting for her to patch them up. “...Why did you help me? All it did was get you beat up.”

 

“Because why not?” Dean shrugged. Castiel took in his spiky brown hair, the flannel overshirt with a white shirt underneath and blue jeans. Dean eyed Castiel’s suit. “Did...your mom dress you?”

 

“No. I am wearing respectable clothes.” Castiel spoke. “It is normal for kids to dress this way for a formal setting. I assume school is one.”

 

“No, this is just a good reason to be beaten up.” Dean snorted before he took off his overshirt. “Here. Take off your jacket and tie.” Castiel listened as Dean moved to help fix Castiel’s look. He rolled up the sleeves on Castiel’s white long sleeve shirt, unbuttoning his top shirt buttons before Dean helped Castiel into his overshirt. “There. Now you look like a normal kid...ish.” 

 

Castiel looked down at his new and improved outfit. 

 

“Just wear a t-shirt and pants. No need to look like you’re going to church.” Dean shrugged. “Did you go to a private school before? Would make sense why you dressed in a suit…?”

 

“...Yes.” Castiel nodded taking the lead given to him.

 

“That’s cool.” Dean beamed as the nurse came in with stuff to patch their noses. “If you want I can show you around?” Castiel eyed him before softly smiling. 

 

“...Sure.” Castiel whispered as Dean beamed.

Dean scratched his injured nose after school, it was swollen and red. Castiel eyed his injured nose, Dean still talking about random stuff as they exited the school. Dean liked to talk, Castiel realized. Which fit Castiel who didn’t know what to say. He liked that Dean didn’t let the silence grow between them.

 

“Lucky, we got the same classes.” Dean beamed. “I’ll be able to take you around every day.” 

 

“I liked that,” Castiel spoke pulling his backpack close. Dean smiled as he looked towards the street. 

 

“Do you want me to walk you home?” Dean offered as Castiel paused. Noticing his mother’s car was already there. Castiel shook his head no.

 

“My mom’s here.” Castiel hesitated. “...Thanks, Dean.” Dean smiled at him watching Castiel move to take off his overshirt but Dean stopped him. 

 

“Keep it. I got a bunch.” Dean smiled. “I’ll see you tomorrow?”

 

“Yeah.” Castiel nodded as Dean walked away towards his home. Castiel watched him go for a moment as his mother honked the horn. Castiel moved climbing into the car. 

 

“Castiel? What happened to your face?” Rowena grabbed his face as Castiel winced. “And...what are you wearing?”

 

“I got beat up,” Castiel commented pulling his face away. 

 

“Was it that human?!” Rowena growled her fangs showing as she turned and backed up the car quickly catching up with Dean. Who jumped when a car backed over the curb in front of him. “I’ll fucking eat him-” 

 

“Mom! No! His name is Dean! He saved me!” Castiel choked out as Rowena eyed Castiel before rolling down the window. Castiel went deep red in embarrassment looking away from Dean who blinked confused. 

 

“Dean? Right?” Rowena spoke with her sweetest voice, her fangs hidden.

 

“Y-Yes, ma’am,” Dean spoke as Rowena smiled. 

 

“How polite of you.” Rowena laughed with care. “Did you want a ride home? I want to thank you for helping my son earlier today.” 

 

“Mom.” Castiel covered his face. 

 

“Quiet, Castiel. We Novaks always repay our debts.” Rowena stated through clenched teeth, sweetly looking at Dean. “Please. Dean. I insist.” Dean moved to the back seat of the van moving to buckle himself in before closing the door. 

 

“Thanks for the ride, Mrs. Novak,” Dean spoke as Rowena smiled at the human. 

 

“Polite and cute.” Rowena hummed as Castiel went redder. Rowena drove off the sidewalk towards the direction Dean had been walking.

Rowena pulled up to a large home, she eyed the sign out front of the run-down home. It was old, the paint is worn and if it wasn’t for the sign out front. Rowena would have thought it was abandoned. 

 

“Home for wayward boys.” Rowena read as Dean opened the door getting out. 

 

“Dean, you live here?” Castiel asked confused. 

 

“Yeah, I live in a group home,” Dean stated looking back towards the unkept yard. “It’s a long story, but it’s just till I graduate.” 

 

“So you were orphaned by your mother?” Rowena raised an eyebrow as Castiel slapped her arm. 

 

“Mom!” Castiel hissed as Rowena blinked not understanding the offense.

 

“No, I-...I got a mom. Um...It’s kinda a long story but...not an orphan.” Dean stated with a shrug scratching the back of his head a bit upset. “She...just couldn’t take care of me currently. So it’s better I’m here...I...Um. I got to go.” Dean turned to walk towards the house as Castiel covered his face so embarrassed. 

 

“What? I was asking a question.” Rowena commented. 

 

“Mom, you don’t just ask people if they are orphans.” Castiel hissed. 

 

“What? So he isn’t of pedigree.” Rowena asked pulling out her phone showing him. “These are questions that are normal to figure out if they are of quality.” Castiel snatched the phone.

 

“Mom, these are for dogs.” Castiel groaned. “It’s so you don’t adopt a sick dog.”

 

“Humans, dogs. They are the same thing.” Rowena shrugged. “I did not mean to offend him.”

 

“But you did, mom,” Castiel stated. “Humans are sensitive, you don’t ask about their pedigree.” 

 

“Sorry, Sorry. Look, back when I was your age. I never even seen a human. You were taught about humans.” Rowena stated. “Forgive me for not knowing.”

 

“It’s okay...but...mom. You might have scared him off.” Castiel held himself. “...He was like my first human...and he may not want to talk to me now.” 

 

“I’m sorry, my little one.” Rowena sighed not sure what she did wrong. “I didn’t mean to upset your pet.” 

 

“...It’s okay.” Castiel whispered as Rowena gave him a sad look before driving them with her horrible driving home. “...H-...He...was just a human anyways.”

Rowena stood making dinner as Boris came home. He walked over watching her stir blood on the stove. Boris held her from behind as Rowena sighed. 

 

“Something is wrong?” Boris asked taking a seat on the island chair across for her.

 

“...I think I hurt Castiel’s only friendly human.” Rowena hesitated but added when Boris made a face. “With words.”

 

“Ah.” Boris nodded sitting back. “And you feel guilty because you know this is hard on Castiel to be in this world.”

 

“Of course I will.” Rowena sighed upset. “I know how hard it is for us...imagine the young ones.”

 

“However hard this is, we have been able to live. Even a bit longer.” Boris spoke with a smile. “If you apologize to the human, I know they are known to be forgiving.” 

 

“You are right, as always,” Rowena stated thinking. “Normally, a sign of disrespect would be a finger but… I feel a human would not appreciate it.”

 

“I heard they like to eat.” Boris offered. 

 

“Yes, I see humans doing nothing but eating.” Rowena nodded. “I shall look up the proper human customs to invite a human to eat.” Rowena tapped her fingers on the counter. “...It was so simple when we just ate them.”

 

“I thank you for eating the blood packs and not humans.” Boris stood walking over to kiss her cheek. She smiled against the kiss. “Just apologize.” Rowena nodded moving to pour some blood into a cup for him. “Thank you, love.” She smiled watching him take a sip of the warm blood.

“Castiel! Get up, now!” Rowena yelled as blue eyes opened to yelling downstairs, did he mention how much he absolutely hated when he was woken up before his alarm? Castiel glared as his alarm one moment later started to go off, playing some happy song. Castiel didn’t even know why he bothered. Castiel pulled himself from his bed, getting dressed.

Castiel was half asleep when he realized they were driving in the opposite direction of the school. Castiel glanced up confused. 

 

“Mom?” Castiel asked as Rowena smiled. “You are not going the correct way, you must be lost.”

 

“Oh, no. I am not.” Rowena stated. “We are going to do as humans say ‘stop pit’.” 

 

“That’s not the saying-” Castiel choked out as his mother u-turned on a double line. Castiel held onto the car plastic bits unsure if it will survive the turn when the car rolled up onto the sidewalk hitting a mailbox. Castiel groaned panting in fear slowly pulling himself from the seat as his mother rolled his eyes. 

 

“You weren’t going to die,” Rowena stated as Castiel groaned nauseous sitting up when he noticed Dean looking just as fearful standing on the steps of his group home. Looking like he just saw a ghost or most likely his life flash before his eyes. “Dean! Come on, dear! I want to give you a ride to school!” 

 

“Uh…” Dean choked out in fear as Rowena simply got out of the car ushering in Dean, who was frozen in fear. 

 

“Don’t be shy, love.” Rowena hummed ushering him into the car next to Alfie. Alfie sucking on a pacifier as Dean looked at him shakingly sliding on his seatbelt. Rowena got in herself, humming as she started the car. Castiel turned to mouth he was sorry to Dean who simply just slid on two of the seatbelts and held on for dear life. The car sped off the curb not caring who was there as she took them to school. 

 

____________________________________________________________________









Dean was the first to emerge from the car once it had come to a stop against a tree. His legs like jello as he collapsed into the grass. Castiel collapsed on top of him groaning and whimpering. Castiel trying to steady himself in the grass. 

 

“Have a good day, boys!” Rowena waved as she drove off with the doors open. Dean and Castiel watched her drive off towards their house with Alfie barely in the car seat that hung out of the car his seat incorrectly strapped in. Dean and Castiel collapsed into the grass.

 

“I am...so sorry.” Castiel panted weakly trying to stand. 

 

“That’s okay. I only-” Dean tried to joke but lost whatever was in his stomach into a bush. 

 

“Trust me.” Castiel panted. “T-...Throwing up helps you feel better.” Dean wiped his mouth too tired to stand. 

 

“How does she have her...Driver’s license.” Dean panted. 

 

“What’s...a driver’s...License?” Castiel asked as Dean pointed knowing that explained it. 

 

“Well, I’m thinking that...we are alive.” Dean laughed.

 

“That...I think we are.” Castiel panted turning to look at Dean. “...I’m sorry...for my mom, yesterday.” 

 

“It’s...cool.” Dean panted smiling at him. “She’s weird… But I know she didn’t...mean it like she said it.”

 

“Does...that mean we are still friends?” Castiel panted as Dean gave a tired thumbs up.

 

“Never thought we weren’t.” Dean gave him a smile before glancing down.“God, how are we alive?” 

 

“Some strange luck...” Castiel started looking at the sky.

 

“Literally your mom almost hit like three people just walking on the sidewalk and was mad they got in the way,” Dean commented.

 

“That’s my mom for you.” Castiel shrugged. 

 

“God, I wish I were that cool.” Dean snorted. “Your mom is something else.”

 

“Thanks...I think.” Castiel stated slowly getting up. Castiel steadied himself from the whiplash before helping Dean up. 

 

“I think we are late for Algebra,” Dean commented taking the help up. Dean’s legs dipped a bit which Castiel tried to catch them only making them fall again. “I need a minute. Just a minute.” 

 

Castiel laughed at how sick they were thanks to his mother. They had never been in this...human world before. So most of the stuff was self-taught like...driving. 

 

“I’m okay skipping math.” Dean laughed looking at him covering his eyes from the sun with his hand. “Morning math should be illegal anyways…” Dean smiled. “...Wanna skip and go to Denny’s?”

 

“What’s Denny’s?” Castiel panted confused at Dean.

Castiel pushed some mashed potatoes into his full mouth, simply trying everything he could from Denny’s plates Dean and Castiel got. Dean chuckled just sipping on his cocoa. Castiel never thought human food would taste...this amazing. Of course, he didn’t need to eat, but it was delicious. He couldn’t help but swallow down every bite. 

 

“MMIS IS DEMISIOS!” Castiel chewed. Dean watched him somehow managing to stuff more food into his mouth. Dean just watched Castiel try to chew the mound of food in his mouth. Nachos, mashed potatoes, and something Dean couldn’t make out fell out of his mouth trying to make the food submit to his mouth. 

 

“Hey, careful. You may choke.” Dean spoke softly as Castiel gave a thumbs up. It was really hard to kill a Vampire, but Dean didn’t need to know that. Dean moved to take a bite of a soggy nacho covered in cheese before popping it into his mouth. Dean watching him with care as he continued to drink. 

 

“Dean, I do not understand how you humans can make this.” Castiel chewed. “This chicken is delicious!” 

 

“How do you know it’s chicken? You ate everything at once.” Dean laughed taking a bite of Castiel’s chicken tenders. Dipping it heavily in ranch. Dean spilled some ranch onto his shirt as he ate. Castiel observed him before making sure he copied once his mouth was empty. Copying Dean, so much he even spilled ranch on his shirt. Dean laughed loudly at the affection. Castiel just watching Dean throw his head back in a loud laugh, Castiel’s face couldn’t help but blush. 

 

So… was this is what humans are like…or was Dean...special?

 

“Save room for dessert! We are going to feast!” Dean hollered excitedly as Castiel lit up excited just because Dean was. The two teens cheering for dessert that Castiel had no idea what it was. The two teens enjoying their ditching with the fanciest meal a fourteen-year-old could buy!
