SUMMARY : Sam is trying to set Dean and Cas up. Jimmy is trying to keep them apart. Cas spies on Dean from bushes. And Dean might or might not be interested in Sam’s new blue-eyed, trench coat wearing science tutor. High school AU in which Jimmy is Cas' twin brother.
Part 1
Jimmy didn’t realize that Cas was serious in his determination to ignore Jimmy’s existence until Cas came into the kitchen when Jimmy is making dinner (Cas’s favorite as an apology) and made himself a sandwich, without saying a single word or even acknowledging Jimmy’s presence.
It sucked. He was at a loss on how to deal with this. It was the first time that he and Cas had ever fought for longer than five minutes. It’s been almost two hours and Cas hadn’t even looked at Jimmy once.
I am never forgiving you for this, Dean Winchester, Jimmy vowed, watching Cas eat his sandwich and studiously ignore Jimmy’s presence. Never.
He ignored the small voice that tells him that really he’d just brought this upon himself.
~~
Cas was pissed at Jimmy. He had no idea why his twin had been so hostile towards Dean. All he could think of was that it had been out of some sort of misguided over-protectiveness thing. But that didn’t really make any sense. There was no way Jimmy knew that Cas liked Dean. He didn’t even know that Cas was gay, which was surprising because Cas wasn't being particularly subtle about his attraction.
Cas stared at Dean a lot. A lot. Even he had to admit that, and it’s really only gotten worse after the lunch, when he realized that Dean might kind of like him too.
However, thankfully, neither Sam nor Dean seemed to notice the staring. Not that Sam was really around often during their study sessions after the luch disaster for some reason. He seemed to have made it his mission to avoid doing as much work as possible. Which was odd considering how dedicated Sam had been about his project just last week. He really should talk to Sam and find out why he’d had this sudden change of heart.
“Hey ya, Cas.” Dean plopped down in Sam’s seat across from Cas and grinned at him. “How’re you doing? Sam ditch you again?”
Yes, he really should get talk to Sam. Right after this.
He doesn’t realize until after Jimmy showed up scowling on at the door that he and Dean had talked for hours and that Sam had never come back. He’s a horrible tutor for letting Sam blow off doing his work but he can’t really bring himself to care.
~~
On Day Three of Cas not talking to him Jimmy answered the door and found Sam Winchester on his doorstep. He could safely say that he had not expecting that. After the lunch fiasco, he wouldn’t have been surprised if the boy never wanted to to talk to him again. Actually, he had been hoping for that.
As it was, Sam Winchester was on his doorstep staring at him with an annoyingly bright grin.
“No.” Jimmy said before the younger boy could even open his mouth
And then shut the door in Sam’s face.
~~
Jimmy was in the middle of finishing his homework later that same day when the door to his room slammed open.
“I’m gay.” Cas announced, his trench coat billowing dramatically behind him as he walked into the room.
Jimmy blinked at him, his brain still tangled up with sines and cosines. “What?”
“Not gay as in happy,” Cas continued, talking right over him. “Though I am that too. Most of the time. But gay as in I like boys.”
He stopped talking suddenly, and just stood there, stiff, arms at his side, all set to defend fine himself.
Jimmy stared at him for a second. “Yeah, I’ve know for ages.”
Cas blinked, and deflated.“You knew?”
Jimmy shrugged nonchalantly and turned back to his homework, holding back a smug smile.
“Yeah.”
“How did you know?”
Jimmy couldn't help but take pity on him. Poor Cas looked so off balance, all wide eyed and confused.
“Cas.” he said, motioning for his brother to take a seat. “You stare at him. A lot. From behind bushes.”
Cas’s cheeks turned pink. “I do not.”
“You were practically bouncing off the wall when you got the chance to go to his house.” Jimmy continued, ignoring the interruption.
“I was not.”
“You went on a date to Ellen’s.”
“It was a thank you lunch from Sam.”
“You always stare at hi-”
“Wait a minute!” Cas straightened up, all traces of embarrassment gone. “You knew I liked Dean, but you still deliberately made him angry.” He frowned, looking upset.
Jimmy winced. “I was just being stupid.”
“Jimmy,” Cas said, determinedly. “There is nothing wrong with me liking Dean.”
“I know that!” Jimmy cut in. “I’ve been scarred mentally forever figuring that out.”
“Then what’s the problem?”
“I just didn’t want-like what happened to Lucifer and Michael. I didn’t want that to happen to use too!”
“What?”
“You stopped talking to me to because of him.” he said mulishly. He knew he was acting like a child but he couldn’t help it. He really was terrified that Cas would have no more time for him. All of their siblings were grown and rarely home. Their parents were too busy with work. All he had was Cas.
“I stopped talking to you because you were an assbutt to Dean.” Cas said, closer. He poked Jimmy on his forehead. “You know I would never ignore you.”
Jimmy stared at him and realized, that yeah. Cas would never ignore him intentionally. Even when Cas hadn’t been talking to him, he’d still spent a majority of his time near Jimmy. Maybe, Cas did need Jimmy as much as Jimmy needed him.
“I know that.” He replied, poking Cas in the ribs, to distract him from the growing smile on his face.
“Good.”
“Good.”
They grinned at each other.
“Assbut? Really, Cas?” Jimmy couldn't help but ask.
“Shut up.”
“Where did you get assbut from?”
Cas messed up Jimmy’s hair in retaliation.
"Hey!" Jimmy jerked away and grabbed the first thing that he lay his hand son and threw it at Cas. It was his school bag. Cas caught it effortlessly.
The doorbell rang downstairs.
"You can get it." Cas told him settling down on Jimmy's bed and starting to pull the contents of the bag out.
Jimmy rolled his eyes but got up.
"You better put everything back when you're done." He informed his brother
Cas gave a half wave without even looking up from the bag.
He wasn't going to and they both knew that and jimmy probably deserved it give how much of a jerk he'd inadvertently been to Cas recently.
The doorbell rang again as he walked down the stairs. It was probably one of his siblings. They were the only ones who rang the doorbell more than once.
He opened the door wondering which sibling was going to be crashing here for the time being.
It was Dean Winchester. Cool, confidently, leather jacket-wearing Dean was standing awkwardly on his doorstep looking more nervous than Jimmy had ever seen him before.
Huh.
He opened his mouth to call Cas when Dean spoke.
"Will you go out with me?" he said quickly.
The words died on his lips and he froze, gaping at Dean.
"I really like you." Dean continued staring determinedly at the archway above the door. He completely missed the look of horror on Jimmy's face. "And Sam said that you really like me too. And he better not be lying or I'm going to kill him"
"Wait-" Jimmy tried to interrupt, but Dean talked right over him.
"I know you sometimes spy on me from the bushes. And not creepy like Sam thinks it is because I kind of watch you too when you're waiting for the school bus in the morning."
"Dean." Jimmy tried again, because he did not need to be hearing this especially when he had recently decided to give Dean a chance.
But Dean seemed to be on a roll. He kept talking.
"And I could give you a ride in the morning so you don't have to wait. If you want. Your brother can come too. Even though he’s kind of a dick."
Okay, rude, but sadly not untrue. “Dean.”
“And please say you’ll go out with m-”
“Jimmy? Who was at the door?”
Dean froze when he saw Cas. Mouth open, he turned to Jimmy and then Cas, back to Jimmy, and Cas again. He made a few aborted attempts to talk, which made him look exactly like a goldfish which amused Jimmy to no end.
“Dean?” Cas asked again, looking from Jimmy to Dean, confused. And was that hurt in his eyes?
Dean finally shut his mouth, and looked ready to bolt.
Jimmy made his decision.
He shoved Cas out the door, into Dean’s arms. The two were so startled that they actually just stood there, Dean’s arms around Cas’s waist. Cas just stared at Dean’s face. Jimmy had a feeling that he was counting the freckles Which would was kind of adorable, if it wasn’t his baby brother.
Jimmy made a shooing motion with his hands.
“Okay, you two. Go have lunch. Hold hands. Whatever. Just be sure to be back before the parents get home, okay? Have fun!”
And then he shut the door, and grinned, feeling very proud of himself.
He was definitely growing up.
He was about to head to the den to watch some tv, when the doorbell rings.
“Cas? You can’t seriously be back al-”
He stuttered to a halt as he sees the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his entire life.
The girl raised her eyebrows at him and frowned. “I just wanted to tell you that your porch light is on. No need to shout.”
Jimmy slammed the door in her face. He stared at it wide eyed as his mind slowly caught up to the fact that yes, he did just slam the door in the most beautiful girl ever’s face and has most likely ruined any chance he ever had of getting her.
He grabbed his phone and called Cas without a second thought.
