Most nights were longer than Dean liked to admit. He got lesser sleep than he would anyone know and he had less time for himself than necessary. Did it bother him? Maybe a little. But was it worth it? Definitely. All of the hustle was alright as long as he got to wake up and feel the tiny figure cuddling up to his side, clinging to his arm as if its life depended on it. On some days the blond allowed himself to see that the life of his child did, in fact, depend on him. On other days he felt more modest. Dean knew, he wasn’t the best parents of them all. But he loved his son. After all, it was the two of them against the world. Always had been.
Little Jordan was the result of a one night stand gone wrong. Well, not wrong. Dean would never put it like that today. Maybe he had, when the girl had first shown up at his place, leaving him alone with a baby and a million questions. But he had grown into it. He still was growing into it.
It was one of the mornings when the Ohioan wished he and Jordan could just stay in bed. He’d read a book to his boy and they’d have breakfast in bed. But school was calling and Dean started his shift at the bike shop soon too. Because of that, he got them both out of bed to get ready for the day. Not even two hours later he parked the car in front of the school that Jordan had started going to a couple of weeks ago. So far his son was liking it but Dean guessed that everyone loves first grade.
Taking Jordan by the hand, they walked to find his classroom. Even though the little boy liked school, he was still slightly shy when it came to walking through the halls. And if Dean was honest with himself, he was a little worried he might get lost too. So he brought him to the classroom. His eyes fell on the teacher immediately. The ginger man had kind eyes and something warm about him. Dean waved at him for a moment and wanted to say hello but Jordan was pulling on his arm so instead he leaned down and brushed some of the blond hair away from the boy’s forehead. “I’ll meet you here after your classes, alright buddy?” A soft smile appeared on his face when he kissed his son’s forehead and let him go to be with his friends. Again, his and the teacher’s eyes met for a moment and he smiled at him. Dean should probably go but allowed himself just for a second to see whom his kid was sitting with.
