On the Cusp of Becoming Part 21
Dean’s never been more relieved about his ability to plan ahead.
He’s eighteen; legally an adult.
He’s got a full time job and a GED.
He’s saved up enough hard earned money to get a very small two bedroom apartment.
And he just got temporary custody of his younger brother.
Still a teenager Dean is now a parent officially. Well legal guardian really but whatever; Sam’s now his responsibility in papers. It’s a pretty cool deal.
He’s a little worried about the way he’s sort of playing Gabriel’s role in this whole scenario. Like Sam is playing Cas, and now Dean has to worry about finding Sam making out with some girl in his living room.
It could be worse he guesses. His dad is giving him the silent treatment, but it’s not like Dean was the one to call social services.
The school took care of that after Dean has forged too many releases and official stacks of paperwork. Sam had cut his hand in P.E. and they had called to have John come and pick him up for a trip to the doctor. Their dad had told the school he was out of town and to have Dean come. It would have worked too if Sam hadn’t told the principle his dad had just signed his release for the field trip this morning.
So yeah; big trouble.
It had taken a week to figure things out. A week where Sam had been staying at the home of a very kind history teacher by the name of Gabriel Novak, being that he was already taking care of his own younger sibling.
By the time the dust had settled Dean and Sam were living on their own, and all of Sam’s stuff had finally been moved in.
Dean had gone to their father and asked, then threatened, then begged for him to sign the papers to let Sam stay with him for good.
So by April, as the winter finally gave way to spring, Dean Winchester added teenage parent to his list of titles along with boyfriend, high school drop out, and night shift manager at the local gas station.
Really things weren’t all that different than they were before; except now instead of worrying all the time that child protective services was going to bust them, Dean calls his worker every Tuesday just to check in.
Sam shrugs it off like it’s no big deal but he’s skipped the last two visitations with their dad.
“I’m proud of you,” Cas murmurs while he cuddles up close to Dean to watch a movie on a rare Friday night when they’re both free.
“Thanks Cas.” Dean blushes and squeezes him a little tighter.
He’s saving the last title for later; after Cas graduates. Thanks to some help from Sam’s worker, Dean’s going to be able to add Part Time College Freshman to his list of titles over the summer.
It doesn’t sound half bad.
