Things to Do When the World Doesn't End 1
This here is the beginning of a 'verse. A fluff based verse. I will call it the "sugar verse" for lack of imagination.I'm filling out a series of fluff prompts I found on tumblr. ;)
Assume AU from Swan Song (5.22) where Samifer is in the hole, Cas and Bobby never showed up, thus never dying, Cas remained human and he and Dean settled down a bit.
This won't be crack, but rather very silly fluff.
There are more spoilers for the movie Amityville Horror than for Supernatural.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sam was gone, and Dean... Dean was getting used to that fact. The first thing he did after he diffused the Archangel battle royale was head straight back to Bobby's, and silently get drunk with him and Castiel. Crowley showed up late into the night, and gave Bobby back his soul.
From there, Dean decided to take up at least the normal apple pie life Sammy made him promise. He couldn't bear to bring himself to Lisa and Ben, but instead found a nice house in a secluded rural area of Missouri.
Castiel tagged along because he honestly had nothing. Lucifer and Michael and the whole Apocalypse were out of the equation, and still yet, so was God. Dean was all there was. Eventually, after marathons of Dr. Sexy, M.D. and other primetime dramas, Castiel started to realize his feelings for Dean, and how to handle these feelings.
He started small, making Dean coffee in the mornings and touching Dean lightly every chance he could. Dean seemed to enjoy the coffee, but aside from that, nothing changed between them. Next, he tried crowding up close to Dean – sitting closer, standing closer - which seemed to be something that worked for the characters on his favorite shows, but Dean wasn't exactly amused.
"Cas, man, seriously? I thought we got over this a long time ago. Personal space."
Castiel decided that maybe something a little more drastic was necessary. He'd seen kissing on TV, and even that once when Dean and Anna... he shook his head, trying to shake out the jealousy that revisited him even now. He had a plan to have Dean snuggling with him, and hopefully kissing him soon.
So, one night, Dean and Cas were now settled in for the evening and Dean searched for a movie from Netflix. Castiel was in love with the fact that he could watch so many movies from this glorious website, but he never could decide what to watch first, so naturally he let Dean choose for him.
"I'm thinking that I would like to watch a horror movie," Castiel said.
Dean shrugged. He figured they both could do without that particular genre, but Castiel rarely spoke up about what he wanted, so Dean chose to roll with it. "Um, we could watch Child's Play, or... oh, man, yes. Amityville Horror."
Castiel was slightly thrown by Dean's glee but he nodded agreement. It had the word 'horror' in the title, how could it not be scary? Cas cuddled in close to Dean, which didn't bother Dean so much since he didn't splurge on the TV connection cords, and thus they had to watch from Dean's laptop. So, Cas was cuddled up on Dean's right side and they started the movie.
A funny thing about Castiel, is that as a human, his angelic patience pretty much disappeared, along with almost every filter he ever had.
The beginning made absolutely no sense. This man was killing his family members – what was going on?
"Dean, why is this man doing this?"
"Just watch, Cas."
Castiel tried. He really tried. He became so focused on trying to figure this movie out that forgot about his plan. Then the new family came and the house looked like it had a face and then, then this priest came and there were flies everywhere, and Castiel just couldn't deal with it.
"Dean..."
"Cas, just watch!"
He tried a bit longer, but then the house spoke.
"Houses don't talk. Didn't the opening credits say this was based on a true story? Dean, what is going on?"
Dean tried to ignore him. It worked. Castiel fell silent for a while longer. He remembered his plan and snuggled closer to Dean. Then, of course, the sex scene started. Dean shifted, but it wasn't because he was uncomfortable, which wasn't obvious to Cas, who tensed, but relaxed once Dean's arm snaked around his shoulders.
Maybe this plan was working?
Castiel's attention span became even shorter after that. He started getting reminded of things and telling them to Dean, who sighed, but listened, and responded.
He didn't stop asking what was going on, or talking. The movie reached a particularly scary point concerning the daughter and what was thought to be her imaginary friend. The instant the eyes flashed outside the window, Castiel unexpectedly screamed.
And Dean laughed. Ex-Angel of the Lord scared of crappy 1970's special effect fake eyes. Nothing had ever been funnier.
Castiel hadn't seen Dean laugh like that since before Sam said yes. He felt happy about this and yet was completely embarrassed for his reaction.
Dean calmed down shortly thereafter and hugged Castiel to his side. Castiel warmed and smiled at him, and Dean's next move surprised him. Dean's lips were on his, and Castiel's brain just melted.
The plan was ultimately successful, even though he had to beg Dean later to explain the movie to him.
