Summary: Life hasn’t been easy for Dean – it never is for orphans – but he reckons it’s a bit harder when you remember you’ve got family out there, somewhere. He’s been beat up, abused, and sold – more than once – for cheap labor, but Dean finds strength in that knowledge. With only a faded memory and a beat-up photograph to guide him, he grows up and gets out, determined to find his brother.
But even the stubborn Dean Winchester has to concede after years of searching that those two things might not be enough.
Rudderless, Dean finds himself adrift and alone in an island town somewhere north of the U.S. Taking on make work to keep himself busy, he’s convinced to take some classes at the local college. He agrees, trying to regroup and figure out what to do with his life.
It may have been just the break he needed. He couldn’t ever have expected the twins, or how life seemed to serendipitously drop the exact thing he’d been looking for right into his path.
Excerpt:
Jimmy stared at the green eyed, freckled Adonis he and Cas had been watching from the back of the classroom for days.
If he wasn’t mistaken, their interest was returned, though the man would blush and look away as soon as he noticed he was noticed. Jimmy wondered how far the blush extended. And the freckles too. It was the first time he or Cas had ever found someone mutually attractive, aside from Balthazar back in their second year so long ago, and they were dying to get to know him.
“I’ve heard rumors, brother,” Jimmy said, all while keeping Mr. Winchester in his sight as they leaned against the west wall bordering the campus. The red leaves of the maple had started falling and it was normally a sight to behold, yet the twins were oblivious to everything except Winchester.
When they’d returned to the campus to finish their interrupted schooling, they had known the few they’d let close enough to consider friends would have moved on. The friendships they’d forged had always been of surface only and didn’t last beyond their abrupt departure from the school, yet those carefully cultivated ‘friendships’ had been a necessity to their sanity and to combat the inevitable rumors.
Balthazar had been the only one to get a closer look into their dynamic and the fact that the man hadn’t run had been truly amazing. And it had been good for Jimmy and Cas. Balthazar was well and truly insatiable and had a remarkable talent for sniffing out where he would be welcome. While their attraction to him was more of curiosity and a desire to learn than true lust or love, once they’d learned that he wouldn’t judge them, their trysts with him had been fun and educational. Jimmy and Cas had learned much in the way of lovemaking from Balthazar and for that, the two of them would forever be grateful.
That he’d moved on after they left was only to be expected and since none of them had gone into whatever it was they’d had with expectations of more, it hadn’t left the twins hurting.
But never had they looked upon someone with the same desire they held for each other as they now did when they looked upon Dean. It took Jimmy’s breath away and of course it meant that he would do all that he could to learn everything about the man.
Discretely, of course.
