Summary: Sam, a second year prelaw student at Stanford, meets a strange but interesting guy at ‘Party Man’ Gabriel’s house party, and decides he wants to get to know him more.

After revealing something he’s kept hidden from Sam, Castiel has a deep fear of rejection but Sam is determined to make it work.

1.
Sam is pretty absorbed in his Ethics readings until he feels something bump against his hand. Finishing the sentence he was reading, he looks over to see Castiel’s hand trying to sneak into his. Glancing at its owner, Sam takes it into his and brushes a thumb over his knuckles. Castiel gives a little smile and goes back to staring at the television.

Crossing the room, Castiel comes to stand in front of Sam, reaching his ungloved hands up. He pulls Sam in by the strings of his hoodie for a kiss, his hands sliding from the fabric to Sam’s neck, giving him a jolt of freezing skin.

There’s a sliver of sunlight streaming through the thick curtains of his bedroom, casting just enough light in the room to not require the lamp or the overhead light. It casts a golden glow, and Castiel glows in it like an angel as he reaches towards Sam’s face, bringing him in for another kiss.
Note: Thank you to
apentomyhead for being such a gracious author (and now a friend, I might add). You made my first Big Bang on LJ a pleasure! I wish I could've been a bit more disciplined with getting everything done on time. And big thanks to
quickreaver for easing me into the LJ fic/art experience! I would've been lost without you.
