Prompt for ya! : Omega!Cas has never let anyone know he's an omega and uses suppressants etc till one day he slips up in front of his friend and colleague (and alpha) Dean... but it turns out Dean knew from the moment he met him as he could smell him through the suppressants (usually only true mates can) but he didn't tell Cas because he wanted to be friends and around him so much and thought Cas would remove him from his life if he thought he knew his secret. (ps T really miss your writing atm) _____________________________________________________________________________ Castiel wasn't ashamed of his presentation. There was absolutely nothing wrong with being an Omega. He loved his body and his life, but Omegas didn't make it very far in any kind of occupation. Castiel had been on suppressants since he started his heats. He never wanted his presentation to hold him back like he had seen it do to so many others. He used special soaps and colognes to conceal his scent so that no one would know he was an Omega. He got a job as a secretary right out of college at a prestigious company ran by the all Alpha Winchester family. Over the years, he was given higher positions and currently with the higher ups and CEOs. "Good morning, Cas." Castiel looked up from the papers he was reading when someone said his name. "Hello, Mr. Winchester," He replied. The man smiled and took his own seat. "How many times do I have to tell you to call me Dean?" "That's very unprofessional, sir," Castiel told him. He prided himself on always being polite and professional. He didn't get this far by being childish. "Mr. Winchester is my dad," Dean said, pulling out the old cliche.  Castiel rolled his eyes and went back to work. He heard dean open his brief case and take some files out, then begin working himself. They fell into a comfortable silence, pens on paper the only noise between them. When his cell phone rang, Castiel answered without taking his eyes off of the page he was reading. "Castiel Novak...Hello, mother. I'm sorry, I didn't check the caller ID...I'm at work...Yes, I'm doing well...I'm aware of what my heats do to me...Yes, I've had plenty of water...Mother, I have to go....I'm working...Bye. I'll call you later. I love you." Castiel hung up and dropped the phone onto the table with a sigh. "Parents, right?" Castiel jumped when Dean spoke. He'd been focused on his work he had forgotten about the other man's presence. And now he knew his secret. "Please don't tell anyone," Castiel begged. "They would never take me seriously again." "Of course they would," Dean said, incredulously. "I did." "What do you mean?" Dean had just found out about his presentation, hadn't he? Dean ducked his head, the tips of his ears turning red with embarrassment. Castiel had never seen an Alpha get embarrassed about anything. "I've known since the day met," Dean admitted. "I could smell your scent underneath the suppressants. I assumed you didn't want anyone to know, so I kept it to myself." Castiel stared at Dean, surprised. When he was put on his medication, he was told that no one would be able to tell that he was an Omega. The research that he had done had said the same thing, but added in the myth that an Omega's true mate could still smell their scent under the suppressants. Castiel didn't think much of this since he didn't believe in true mates. But if Dean was able to smell him... "Why didn't you tell me?" Castiel asked. Dean's blush spread to his cheeks. "I wanted to get to know you. I thought if I told you, you'd ask to be moved to a different department. You seemed nice and smart and interesting. I didn't want to miss out on a chance to know the real you." Castiel was shocked. No one had ever noticed him before, not that he minded. Friends were a distraction and he wasn't interested in that. He needed to focus on his school work and job. But the way Dean was looking at him now... "There are other ways to get to know me," He said before he could stop himself. "Yeah?" Castiel nodded. "Like, asking me questions over dinner." Dean smiled. "I can do that. Pick you up at seven tonight?" "That sounds perfect."

New AU/RP idea

Alpha!Dean mates Omega!Cas by accident so he has to take responsibility for him. Dean is mostly mean and ignores him because he doesn't want Castiel there, and generally only acknowledges him during his ruts. Something happens and Dean realizes how horrible he's been and tries to fix it.

All the Moments That Shape Our Lives (Stamp 10)

Castiel looked up when he heard the front door open, then smiled when his father-in-law walked into the living room. "Hi, John," He said, continuing to pick toys up off of the floor. Did the kids even play with half of these? He started to plan a goodwill trip in the back of his mind. "Hey, Cas. Where are the kids?" "Napping." Castiel couldn't resist showing John the picture he had taken not twenty minutes ago of Morrison and Page asleep in their wolf forms, curled up with their heads resting on each others backs. "Stevie's nap time is almost over, if you can stay." "I have some time." John helped Cas pick up some of the items scattered across the floor. "How are feeling?" "I'm good. As good as I can be with a new born, anyway." John nodded, but Castiel saw the look on his face. "I've had several long talks with Missouri about postpartum depression. We've done everything we can to keep me well balanced. I'm doing well." "Good. I'm glad." John was quiet for a long moment. "Cas, there something I want to talk to you about. Can we sit?" "Of course. Do you want some coffee? It's decaf, but it's not bad." "Sure." John took a seat while Castiel fixed to mugs. He brought sugar and milk to the table and added some to his own. "What do you need, John?" "I'm getting ready to step down as Alpha. I wanted to make sure it was okay with you before I asked Dean to take my place." "Why?" Castiel was just an Omega, he didn't have any say in what Dean did. "You're his mate, you have three kids. I don't want to put too much on you at once. I mean, it would take a few years to get everything set and we would have to talk to the other packs we have treaties with. It will just take a lot of time out of his schedule." "Oh." Castiel looked down into his mug. He felt tears burning in his eyes but stubbornly held them back. "Is everything okay?" "He's not really here anymore," Castiel said. "Ever since he started his search for Sam he's spending all his free time away. I...It hasn't been easy." John was about to comment when a sharp cry pierced the silence. Castiel was out if the kitchen before John could move. He was back a few minutes later with a pink bundle in his arms. "Do you want to hold her?" "Is that even a question?" Castiel handed her over and went to get a bottle ready. "Can you feed her? I need to get the boys up and dressed or they'll be awake all night." John took the bottle and focused all his attention on the fussy baby in his arms, forgetting all about what he was going to ask Castiel. ~*~ Castiel woke up to the sound of Stevie's cries coming through the baby monitor. He pushed himself out of bed, refusing to acknowledge the empty place where Dean was supposed to be. He stumbled down the hall half asleep to nursery. He flicked on the light just as Dean was placing the baby back in her crib, fast asleep. "I didn't know you were home," Cas said, leaning against the doorframe. "You were asleep when I came in. I figured you needed the rest." "Come to bed." Dean took the hand that Castiel held out and followed him back to their room. He striped down and climbed into bed beside him. "Your dad came by today," Castiel said, laying his head on Dean's chest. "He told me. Cas, I'm so sorry that I've been gone so much. I just got so wrapped up in my search for Sam that I didn't even stop to think about how much I was dumping on you." "It's okay, Dean." "No, it's not. We have three kids, we have a baby, and I just abandoned you." "Dean–" "I hired a private investigator. I'm going to be here from now on." Castiel sat up to kiss him. Dean put a hand on the back of his head to hold him in place longer and Castiel smiled against his lips. "I love you." "I love you, too." They settled back into their regular sleeping positions again. "You know, my dad said that he and my mom could take the kids whenever we needed some alone time." "Oh, really?" "Mmhm." Dean shifted so that Castiel was laying on his back, then crawled on top of him. "I was thinking that we could take advantage of that as soon as possible." Castiel laughed when Dean attacked his neck with kisses. It had been a few months since they'd had time for anything more than quickies in the shower or half asleep grope sessions. "That sounds good," Castiel said, pulling Dean's mouth up for a kiss and bucking his hips up against his. Dean moaned quietly and ground their hips together. "Papa." Light flooded the room when Page opened the door. Castiel pushed Dean off of him and sat up. "I had a bad dream." "Come here, baby, it's okay." Page crawled into the bed, narrowly avoiding slamming his knee into Dean's crotch, and crawled into Castiel's arms. Cas tucked him in beside him and listened to him explain about the monster he saw in his nightmare. Dean couldn't help the smile that spread across his face as he watch them. Castiel with the kids was his favorite sight in the world. He flicked the lamp off and stretched his arm around them both, pressing a kiss to the top of Page's head. Alone time could wait until the weekend. They had monsters to fight tonight.
