Small Town Sins

Lawrence, Kansas, is a town where nothing changes. Football is king, church is mandatory, and everyone knows who you’re supposed to be — especially Dean Winchester. He’s got it all: varsity captain, a shiny smile, a girlfriend he barely remembers to text back, and a father who demands perfection. Dean’s learned to play his role — the golden boy, the good son — even when it feels like he’s suffocating under it.

Then a new kid shows up.

Castiel Shurley is quiet, strange, and far too composed for a seventeen-year-old. He wears his faith around his neck — literally — and never fights back, even when he’s cornered. To Dean, he’s an easy target. To everyone else, he’s just another church boy trying too hard to fit in.

But when teasing turns into tension, and tension turns into something Dean can’t quite name, the lines between right and wrong start to blur.

Castiel’s faith tells him love like this is a sin.Dean’s father tells him it’s a disgrace.And still, when the floodlights fade and the crowd goes home, neither of them can stop looking at each other.
