Jimmy Novak had nearly everything he’d ever wanted; a decent job, a beautiful daughter, and a boyfriend he adored. But his father’s sudden death threatens to destroy the things he holds most dear when he’s forced to come face-to-face with his past and the one person he never wanted to have to face again: his brother.
Castiel Novak had been managing life just fine. It hadn’t been going the way he’d expected, but still, things were fine. That was of course until his father died and he was back in the same room as his twin brother, Jimmy, and all that managing was a little harder to do. Between his brother, his memories, and his brother’s gorgeous new boyfriend, Castiel was fairly certain it’s only a matter of time before something snaps.
Dean Winchester thought he’d had things relatively figured out. He was in love and more than ready to take the next step with his boyfriend, until he found out about that twin brother his boyfriend had never mentioned. There’s some kind of damage between the two of them, shaking Jimmy up and messing with his head. Dean is determined to find out what and hopefully fix it. Now all he has to do is figure it out and not fall for Cas or lose Jimmy in the process.
Teaser:
“No, seriously,” Dean said, “this woman straight up watches me plant one on him and then proceeds to laugh about how she wishes more men were as open with their affection for their friends as we were.”
Castiel snorted.
“I suggested that we – ow!” Dean jumped, glaring at Jimmy across the table.
“Little ears,” Jimmy said, tipping his head towards Claire, who was pushing her rice into a single pile.
“Oh, right.”
Claire giggled, squirming in her seat. She seemed content to just sit there and play with her rice, popping a piece of chicken into her mouth every once in a while.
“So, you got a boyfriend, Cas?” Dean asked.
“No.”
“Don’t get out much?” Dean asked.
Castiel shrugged. “More than I used to, I suppose. I just haven’t had an interest in long-term dating, not since college.” That was probably the wrong thing to say, but it just kind of slipped out.
Jimmy squirmed in his seat, clearing his throat and pointedly ignoring Castiel’s gaze.
“Why not? Can’t imagine you haven’t gotten any offers.” Dean said.
“There have been offers. I just haven’t been interested.”
