It's gen, and it's a/u, and the author has put Dean on the autism spectrum.
As I said in my comment, I went to read this very warily, because I'm always concerned about how autistic disorders are going to be portrayed, and as anyone who reads my journal knows, it's a personal thing.
This story felt intensely personal, because one of the things Dean is wanting/grappling with, is something Matthew has grappled with and wanted, in the past. Not so much now, but it was a huge issue when he was younger, and even thinking about it now makes my chest ache.
Go read the story. It's a short piece, less than 1000 words. But those words pack one hell of a punch, particularly the last couple of lines.
