"And that is how Cas and I met," Dean finishes the next day. He looks around the lunch table. "Questions? Comments? Concerns?"

Charlie raises her hand. "Question!"

"You can just ask the question, Charlie," Castiel says. "This isn't a class."

"Okay, but who else knows?" Charlie asks.

"Probably the whole school at this point," Dean says. "But I think that's it."

"So Sam doesn't?" Benny asks.

"Of course not," Dean says. "He's 13. 'Gay' is a joke to 13-year-olds."

"I think you're underestimating your brother," Benny says.

"But come out whenever you're ready," Charlie asks. "I know I — Wait, so that's why you were so awkward around Castiel!"

"Give the girl a prize," Dean says with a grin.

Charlie raises her hand again. "Comment!"

"You're still gonna raise your hand?" Castiel says, amused.

"Yes I am," she replies. "I think you guys are really cute together."

"Me too," both Dean and Castiel say in unison, causing them both to laugh.

"So we've gotten a question and comment," Benny says. "Do we get a concern?"

Charlie raises her hand. "Concern!"

"Go for it," Dean says.

Charlie's silent for a moment, then says, "Yeah, I got nothing. I have zero concerns about this relationship."

Aaron raises his hand. "Substitute concern."

"Which is?" Castiel prompts.

"I'm concerned that an Internet stranger is stealing my best friend," Aaron says, his small smile showing that it's a joke.

"I can assuage your concern," Charlie says. "I will take the title as your new best friend."

"I can't believe you're stealing my title," Castiel says.

"You have a boyfriend. You don't need a best friend," Charlie says.

"I agree," Aaron says. "Charlie is my new best friend. Take that, sucker!"

"Ouch," Castiel says. "What a low blow." He puts an arm around Dean as he adds, "But this is my boyfriend and my best friend, so who's really winning?"

"Pretty much anyone but Benny is winning," Dean says. "Poor Benny doesn't have a best friend or a boyfriend."

"Lemme stop you right there on the boyfriend thing," Benny says, amused. "But if I don't have a designated best friend, then all four of you are my best friends, so yes, I am winning."

Castiel rests his head on Dean's shoulder. "I still think we're winning."

Dean puts his head on top of Castiel's. "I think we're winning, too."
