Summary: Dean Winchester is homeless, with too much pride to ask for help and no way to better his situation. Castiel Novak volunteers for his church and feels oddly drawn towards Dean. A strange friendship sparks between the two, Castiel seeming dead set on trying to understand Dean’s situation and helping him, to the reluctant acceptance of the man who doesn’t have much left to lose. This friendship progresses into something else and all the pieces slowly fall into place, but there’s more to work through than either anticipates.
