Castiel flipped through the pages of his book, the boy was still sitting next to him. "What's your name?" Castiel blurted.

The other boy jumped and laughed, "I'm Dean Winchester, and over there is my baby brother Sammy."

"Do you know what this is it?" Castiel pointed to a page he wasn't familiar with.

Dean leaned over and frowned at it, "I don't know. "

"Oh."

"Do you want to go outside?"

"My mom doesn't like it when the kids she babysits go outside, she says it's harder for her to watch us."

Dean stood up and pulled Castiel to his feet, the books fell to the ground. "What she doesn't know won't hurt her."

It was cold outside and Castiel wished he could go back inside the moment he shut the door. Dean led him to the front of the house and together they walked down the sidewalk, "Where are we going?" Castiel asked, nervous he was going to get into trouble.

"We're going on an adventure Cas."

"That's not my name."

Dean looked over that the other boy and frowned, "It's a nickname dummy."

"Oh."

"I won't call you it if you don't want."

"No I like it."

"Alright Cas."

Dean heard Cas's front door squeak open and his mom yell for the two of them. He grabbed Cas's hand and pulled him behind a trashcan. "Dean, my mom's looking for us."

Dean put his hand over Castiel's mouth, "Shh," he warned, "She probably hasn't looked out in the backyard yet." He heard the front door close and he dragged Castiel out from behind the trashcan and together they ran towards his backyard. They collapsed in the grass next to each other. Dean started laughing first, then Cas joined in and they became hysterical.

"Dean-" the two boys sat up and saw Cas's mom standing on the back porch looking down at them, "Cas, are you playing with another kid?" she walked off the porch and sat down beside the two of them, "Dean, what are you doing outside, I told you I wanted you to stay inside."

Dean lowered his head, "Sorry Mrs. Novak."

"It's alright, I just don't want you two boys to get hurt." She walked them back inside and gave them their lunch, "Next time you want to go outside ask me and I'll see what I can do." She bent down and kissed Cas, her dark hair tickled his nose and he laughed. She ruffled his hair and walked back to the counter.

"Your mom is nice." Dean said through a mouth full of pb&j.

"Mom!"

Cas flinched and Dean jumped in his seat.

A little redheaded girl, with tears running down her cheeks ran into the kitchen, followed by an older boy looking panicked, "Mom, Gabriel's picking on me again!"

"Am not!"

Mrs. Novak sighed and turned around her hands on her hips, "What now Gabriel?"
