Chapter 1
It had been years of them together. At first, it was really hard. He didn’t know what it was. He just wanted it to be Cas. Sam always knew what was going on, and teased him mercilessly.
At the beginning he had his doubts, after all he has always been with girls. Dean Winchester was known as a womanizer. He didn't settle down with anyone but Casie and Lisa and that didn’t work out with them.
The first thing that they didn't understand was his job. He was a hunter and they didn't think that it was worth it, of course, he was helping people but for them, it was not worth the risk, but with Cas an angel of the lord he was fine with it. Cas wanted the same things as him, to save people and hunt all evils. Of course, he could just give everything up and have an apple pie life with them but it wasn't fair to everyone else. He was just like that putting others before him. He was just destined to save the world more than once.
Another thing that they never understood was his relationship with his brother. Dean loved the kid with all his heart. Many told him that they had codependency on each other and he knew that was the truth but after everything that they went through and everything he knew it was understandable. First, they lost his mother to a demon as little kids; then they had an abusive father that lived lost in vengeance. They had gotten hurt a lot and died more than once. Sam was his little brother this life wasn't for him and if he could be his brother, father, mother, friend, and protector at the same time, he was going to be all those things when needed. It was his job,
Cas, of course, understood his relationship with his brother and sometimes he even helped him to help his brother out and there were times that he got in trouble with him for his actions. He has always been that way giving everything for his kid brother that now was a grown man, and his brother would do the same thing for him. When he got in trouble with Cas because of it, he found it worth it, even if his backside didn't agree with him, because, let me tell you Cas was strict as fuck with some things.
And you may think that he is an abusive bastard as my dad was, but he isn’t. The kind of life that i have lived requires me to not be stupid and put myself in the line more than I need to. That’s the only way of life that I know. That’s the only thing that I learned from my father, I needed that structure, to be taken in hand by someone. At first, it was his father, then Bobby, and now Cas, obviously Cas knew his limits and only gave me what I could take, he never crossed the line as my father did. I have always been following orders and giving them to Sam as second in command but those orders were only made to keep him safe. It really did wonders for him.
That was just the way they lived, and if Cas made those mistakes too he could punish him too, I know it's strange but Cas never did the kind of things that I do without a good reason. And this structure worked for them as a team, sometimes even Sam had to respond to him too. Their job was dangerous enough to make it easier to get hurt. If Sam, got out of hand and put his life at risk Dean just set him straight, it really didn't happen that much to be honest, but I'm getting off-topic.
Cas and I were happy that's the important thing. We love each other, and we just knew that life without the other was horrible. Both had died more than once, the last time that i lost Cas i just lost it and Jack paid the price. That's something I will always regret, not only because when Cas returned from the Empty he was so disappointed that i took my anger and grieve at him, but right now the kid is my life. Jack was just so lovable and did not deserve the way I treated him those months ago. Right now we are just a happy family of hunters living day by day as we can.
I took Jack under my wing as I should have done when he was born. I'm going to be honest. At first, I tried to get close to him for Cas, because the kid is Cas' world. Now I would do anything for the kid, and with him, our lives just got better. The kid is like a mini-god with more powers than he can control but we are helping him with that.
Cas helps him with his angelic powers and sword fighting, Sam makes him learn the lore and some magic crap, and I'm trying to teach him how to be a hunter without his powers, my training involves hand to hand fighting and gun training, that's something that Cas sometimes struggles with and tries to learn too, and they are getting so good with that.
Having him in our lives has been challenging. We have made lots of rules for him and for us, we don't want him to make mistakes by following ours. Also, we want him to have the life that we didn't have (Sam and I), we spoil him a lot. He has everything that he needs and more. He has been obsessed with Harry Potter and Sam loves that, and to be honest, I love that too, I've always liked Harry Potter, but I was too embarrassed about it, and now I have an excuse to explore that with him.
Sam homeschools him, he is teaching everything he needs to know to enter college if he ever decides to do that. He has been with us for only six months and he doesn't know that much about our world. The first thing that he taught him was how to spend money, how it worked, and right now he has his own credit card.
Cas sometimes tells him how things really happened in history, as we all know, all that is written is not always the truth, Jack loves to hang out with Cas, and learning that stuff. He also taught him how to tie his shoes, or at least he tried to, Jack just can't get his hand on it and has decided to use velcro shoes or we tie them for him. It was funny how Cas tried to teach him, but then Jack just gave up.
Claire sometimes shows up and even if they appear to be the same age, he needs a lot to learn, so she is like a big sister to him. They have so much fun together and get into trouble but that's how it is with siblings. When she comes, we need to be prepared. She really is something else, sometimes she brings Kaia too, and really those kids just disappear to do god knows what, but they are not doing anything dangerous so it's fine.
I'm also trying to teach him how to cook, and some mechanic stuff. I don't let him get near Baby but there are many vehicles here at the bunker that he can get his hands-on, and he loves that. I'm going to help him to be the best mechanic in the world, even if that's the last thing that I will do. He needs something to live from if he ever decides that hunting is not the life he wants. Because let's be honest I don't think that we can get out, but maybe he can do it. I just want him to be happy.
