AU in which Sam is interning at a local Library to help with college (he gets access to more books that way—) and one day a boy with dark shaggy hair and glasses walks in. He's in a sort of awkward position because he isn't the best in social situations but he really needs to take out a book. So he asks Sam where the books on art are, and Sam thinks he's kind of cute so he attempts small talk, and just Cas being awkward and talking to Sam about art and college and being a stuttering cutie. uwu
*INHUMAN NOISES* THAT IS REALLY FUCKING UCTE;/ALSDKJFA SDFC CUTE And eventually Cas would come in every other day in need of another book and they’d talk for hours and he’d eventually just start hanging around whenever Sam was on shift. They’d do homework together and talk about classes and friends and family and hometowns and the best places to go yet they never meet outside of the library until one day Sam makes the suggestion to go to the coffee shop at the center of campus. He blushes hard when he realizes how it came out so he looks down at the files he’s sorting through and bites his lip. He doesn’t see how red Cas’s face is or how he leans too hard on the counter and his elbow slips off making him fall because wow wow Sam kind of asked him out but he doesn’t know how??? Is this a date or a friend date or something or does it even matter?"Yes- I mean-" Cas rubs his head as he uses the counter to pull himself up, "Yes, I would like-" But when he gets to his feet he doesn’t realize Sam had been looking over so as he stands he’s almost nose to nose. They’re both a little stricken. Cas’s blue eyes are stunning up close; Sam’s hazel ones make Cas lose his breath. The taller boy is the first to back away, a hand on the back of his neck. He clears his throat."At 6? After your lab?" Sam asks in a small voice. Cas just nods a little bit frantically and winds up having to readjust his glasses."Of course, that sounds reasonable. I will see you then. After 6. My lab. Bye, Sam." And with that he walks away with his head down, a grin splitting his face until he walks into the metal detector. Meanwhile, Sam is watching him and blushing five different shades of red and grinning just as much.
