A/N For tweets, the name at the beginning is who the tweet is addressed to and not who is saying it like it is in messages because I wrote this before they changed how Twitter worked.

Castiel wakes up on Saturday with a notification on his phone from Twitter. Except for a couple followers, he hasn't had a single one yet. It doesn't surprise him; he doesn't tweet often, and when he does, it's usually just the hashtag games to keep his account active. He doesn't have anything to tweet about yet.

He opens the app to see that he has a mention from @MusicAddict2000. Is that what Twitter calls them? He has no idea. He spends a few seconds trying to figure out how to check his notification, until he finally figures it out.

"I'm obsessed with @CastielNovak's song Playing With Fire," the tweet reads.

Castiel can't help but smile at that. Does he have to respond to this? He probably should. What is he supposed to say to this? He never knows what to say anyway. He rolls over and groans into his pillow. This is hard.

"Castiel?" Gabriel says from the top bunk, if it can even be considered "saying." It's clear he's still mostly asleep, and his talking is more a groan than speech.

"Oh, sorry," Castiel whispers. "I thought you were up."

"I am now," Gabriel replies, and when Castiel hears the shifting of the mattress, he knows Gabriel is getting up. "Whatcha doing?"

"Twittering," Castiel informs him. "Someone tweeted at me that they like my song."

"Really? Did you respond?" Gabriel asks, climbing down from his bed and sitting next to Castiel in the bottom one.

"You know me. What do you think?"

"No?" Gabriel guesses.

"Exactly."

Gabriel looks at the tweet over his shoulder, then rolls his eyes. "Castiel. She's literally saying she likes your song. That's it. It's not that hard to respond to." He slides out of bed. "I need food. Bye. Reply to them."

He walks out of the room, leaving a very puzzled Castiel behind. What is he supposed to say to this person? This is hard! Okay, let's just say something simple.

"@MusicAddict2000 Thanks! I'm glad you like it!"

And reply. Okay, is that good? Is that enough? Is that how to tweet? This is why he could never be Taylor Swift. He's too socially awkward for this. Why did he ever let Lucifer convince him to accept this record deal?

Almost immediately, he gets another tweet. It's from the same girl, a reply to his.

"@CastielNovak OH MY GOD SENPAI NOTICED ME!"

Castiel laughs softly to himself and types out a reply that he hopes is somewhat entertaining, or at least not incredibly stupid.

"@MusicAddict2000 "Senpai," huh? I bet you say that to all the boys ;)

"Was the ";)" too much? Maybe he shouldn't have said that. Maybe he should have gone with something normal and not at all like that. Or maybe he should have just dropped the conversation there.

"@CastielNovak Only the ones I love ;)"

So maybe the winking face wasn't too much. That's a relief. He gets another response after that.

"@CastielNovak In the least heterosexual way possible because I'm not. Just to clarify."

It amazes Castiel that there are people like this that are just so willing to discuss their sexuality like that. Castiel never would have done that here. If he had it his way, no one would have known at his school at all, and probably not at his house, either.

"@MusicAddict2000 I'm already seeing someone so that works for me."

"@CastielNovak Is this "someone" famous? Would I know them?"

"@MusicAddict2000 No. Not yet, anyway, but give it four years or so and you might."

"@CastielNovak Can I get a name to watch out for so I can say I knew about them before they were famous?"

"@MusicAddict2000 I'm going to keep that to myself actually. "

"@CastielNovak Alright. Figured I'd ask anyway. "

What's Castiel supposed to say to this? She didn't really leave any space for answering here. Maybe this is the end of their conversation. Castiel can't say he's disappointed in how this went. It's a longer conversation than he usually has with people. Apparently, he's wrong, because he gets a new notification.

"@CastielNovak Are you gonna release a new song anytime soon?"

"@MusicAddict2000 I don't know yet. It depends on how well Playing with Fire does."

"@CastielNovak Then I'm going to get all my friends to buy it and show their friends and maybe I can spread the word for you ;)"

@ MusicAddict2000 Thanks!"

"@ CastielNovak I just want to hear more of your music tbh"

Castiel cocks his head at the phone in confusion before getting out of bed and searching for one of his siblings. He finds Anna and Gabriel eating breakfast at the kitchen table, and decides to ask them.

"What does 'tbh' mean?" Castiel inquires.

"'To be honest,'" Anna informs him. "Why?"

"Are you still talking to that person on Twitter?" Gabriel asks.

Castiel nods. "Yeah."

"Good."

Castiel does his signature tilted head, squinty eyes look. "Why is that good?"

"Because it makes you seem approachable and down to earth," Gabriel tells him. "Everyone loves when celebrities notice them."

"I'm not a celebrity," Castiel protests.

"Not yet," Gabriel corrects him. "But you will be. Hopefully. Now get back to Twittering, now."

"Alright..." Castiel sits down on the couch in the living room and returns to Twitter, just as Gabriel told him to.

"@MusicAddict2000 I'm glad you like it :)"

Instead of his reply coming in a tweet, he gets a direct message from the girl.

MusicAddict2000: If I DM you, will you see this?

"What's 'DM'?" Castiel asks, loud enough for his sibling to hear from the kitchen, but not too loud that it will wake anyone up.

"Direct Message," Gabriel informs him.

"'Kay, thanks."

Castiel: Yes.

MusicAddict2000: Ooh, cool! I wasn't sure if you had a billion conversations going on rn

"What does 'rn' mean?" Castiel asks.

"Right now," Anna answers.

Castiel: Nope. Just this one.

MusicAddict2000: Really? I figured you'd have a billion people trying to talk to you

Castiel: Nope. Just you.

MusicAddict2000: Well, aren't I special? ;) I'm Hailey, btw

"What does 'btw' mean?" Castiel asks.

"'By the way,'" Gabriel tells him.

"Thanks."

Castiel: Nice to meet you, Hailey :)

Hailey: Nice to meet you, too. (Totally not fangirling over here or anything. Nope. Not at all.) (That was a lie.)

Castiel: Totally not freaking out because you know who I am and like my music or anything. Nope. Not at all. (That was also a lie.) :)

Hailey: Lol well I'm sure I'd be happy if I were in your shoes, too. But come on. You're awesome!!!

Castiel: Not really, but thanks.

Hailey: You are too!!!!!!

Castiel: That's just because you don't know me. I have had my beautiful reputation as "least popular kid in school," for a full 8 years.

Hailey: Then your school is stupid

Castiel: I have to agree there.

Hailey: Do they know about your awesome song?

Castiel: Nope, and probably never will.

Hailey: Then we should market it a lot and hopefully they and everyone else ever will hear it

Castiel: I think you're more committed to this than I am

Hailey: You're the one that's gonna be the next Taylor swift

Castiel: *Bon Jovi

Hailey: What?

Castiel: I will not be Taylor Swift. If anything, I will be Bon Jovi.

Hailey: But you write songs like Taylor Swift

Castiel: So did Bon Jovi.

Hailey: Taylor Swift plays guitar

Castiel: So did Bon Jovi.

Hailey: Taylor Swift is fabulous

Castiel: So is Bon Jovi.

Hailey: Um... I got nothing lol.

Castiel: I have this argument with people way too much.

Hailey: So I'm not the only one that things you're gonna be Taylor Swift?

Castiel: Far from it.

Hailey: I bet no one thinks you're gonna be Bon Jovi though.

Castiel: Nope, I know at least one person that says so.

Hailey: Dammit

Castiel: :)

Hailey: :(

Castiel: :)

Hailey: :(

Castiel: :)

Hailey: :(

Castiel: :)

Hailey: :(

Castiel: :)

Hailey: Thus argument is way too long for something that really isn't an argument

Castiel: It is.

Hailey: But it looks super cool

Castiel: That's true.

Hailey: I'm gonna say it was worth it.

Castiel: Me too.

Hailey: I'm surprised you're still talking to me tbh

Castiel: Why wouldn't I be?

Hailey: Because I'm boring

Castiel: I am too. I think it's working out great.

Hailey: I do, too. Also, you're not boring.

Castiel: I really am. I'm way more boring that you are, at least.

Hailey: No way. You're awesome!

Castiel: You're awesome, too.

Hailey: Hahahahahahahahaha no

Castiel: Hahahahahahahahaha yea

Castiel: *Yes

Hailey: You realize Yea still works, right?

Castiel: Yea but I wanted to say yes.

Castiel: *Yes

Castiel: Again

Hailey: Lol autocorrect hates you

Castiel: Autocorrect is joining a very big club. I'm surprised there's still room for it.

Hailey: I don't know whether to tell you that's not true or to laugh

Castiel: Probably the second one

Hailey: Okay cuz that's what I'm leaning towards

Hailey: I like talking to you

Castiel: I like talking to you, too.

Hailey: I have to go but we should totally talk again

Castiel: Sure. I'd like that.

Hailey: Yay! Gtg ttyl bye

Castiel: Bye.

Castiel can't help but smile at this. He's already making friends. If this is what it's like being a not-so-famous singer, he has a feeling he's going to like this, even if he doesn't know what the majority of that last message means.
