Summary:
At 8 years old Jimmy and Cas’ parents separated them when their soulmarks revealed that they were soulmates. They spent the rest of their lives up to now talking in secret. Waiting for the day that they would be able to see each other again. That day has come and Jimmy has a secret, he met his soulmate, and it’s not Cas. How does he tell Cas this? Dean is about to meet Jimmy’s brother for the first time. There’s something Dean doesn’t know, the real reason why their parents separated them so young. Castiel hasn’t seen his brother and best friend in person for almost 20 years. When he places an unplanned Skype call and gets Dean instead of Jimmy, Castiel’s world comes crashing down around him. Especially when he spies Dean’s soulmark and it matches Jimmy’s and of course matches Castiel’s as well. Jimmy has a lot of explaining to do. When Cas stops communicating completely with Jimmy, Dean suggests a roadtrip to find Cas. Convincing Jimmy that maybe Cas can fill the missing pieces in their relationship. Maybe it takes three.

Excerpt:
Crossing the living room into the kitchen Jimmy lifted the lid of the crockpot as Dean entered the kitchen. “Okay, James what the fuck is happening? I know you’re not upset about your mother! Fucking talk to me! You’ve been talking about seeing him for as long as I’ve known you, you guys talk all the time! I’m excited to meet my soulmate’s brother—”Jimmy turned on Dean. “He doesn’t know you’re my soulmate!” Dean froze. “He knows I’m dating someone, but he doesn’t know it’s as serious as soulmates.“Dean was confused, “okay, but why? I mean when I told Sammy I met you I was almost crushed by hugs. I bought a round for everyone at three local bars when Sam told me about Jess. A soulmate is someone, something you celebrate.” Dean’s stomach lurched, and he so needed a hug, or for Jimmy to take his hand or something at the moment, was Jimmy ashamed of him for some reason? He never acted as if he was. Jimmy’s arms were pressed so tight to his sides that he might as well have been wrapped in cling wrap. “Why would he not be happy to hear the news?”Jimmy let out a staggering breath he went limp and slid to the kitchen floor against the cabinets. There it was, his breaking point, Dean went to the floor in front of him and took his hand, Jimmy let him. The tears came again. He sobbed and put his face into the crook of Dean’s neck and held on tight. “I don’t want to lose you, and I can’t go through losing him again.”Dean shushed Jimmy. “Babe, why do you think either of those things would happen?”Jimmy held on tighter, between sobs he hoarsely explained, “because he’s my soulmate too, our marks match, it’s why–it’s why our parents separated us.”
