"Hurry up Cas!"

"Give me a minute Dean, I am having problems with my clothing"

"You need help?"

"No"

There was a loud thump and a groan but Dean just laughed it off. A few minutes later Cas in the living room waiting ready

"Okay Dean I'm ready"

Dean appeared from the kitchen and stopped in his tracks and checked Cas out, Cas felt his cheeks redden and didn't noticed that Dean had filled the space between them and was looking straight at him.

"You look gorgeous Angel"

"Are you sure? It feels weird not wearing trousers"

"Yes Cas, you can't wear trousers to the beach! that's why we wear swimming trunks, did you put the sun cream on like I said?"

"Yes Dean"

"When?"

"Half an hour ago like you said"

Dean kissed Cas and dragged him out to the impala and showed him the things he had packed. There was towels, spades and buckets, food, water, sun cream and swimming noodles.

"What are those long poles for Dean? They don't look very strong"

"They are you for you, since you can't swim these will help. There are called 'noodles' because of the shape of them"

"Okay, who else is going to be at the beach today?"

"Well Sam and Gabriel will be, Charlie and Jo said they will try and make it, Bobby and Jody will already be there to save us a spot- Oh! the three musketeers will also be coming"

"Who?"

"Garth, Ash and Kevin"

"Okay. What about Becky, Anna and Ruby?"

"Yeah they are coming as well, said they were bringing the music"

"Good, we should get going then"

"What ever you say angel" Dean gleefully replied.

~At the beach~

The group were enjoying their beach party, the boys were having fun splashing in the ocean- Dean was teaching Cas to swim away from the group- and the girls were topping up their tans whilst talking about the boys.

"Why are all the good ones gay, taken or both?" whined Ruby.

"They aren't all gay and/or taken! What about Kevin and Ash?" Charlie asked.

The look on Ruby's face made the group laugh, the girls sat keeping an eye on the boys.

~Sam and Gabriel~

"Gabe where are you?"

"Gabe? Guys you seen Gabe anywhere?"

Ash looked up to the girls sunbathing and then all around him

"Nope, sorry Sam"

Sam was panicking now, Gabe was small and could easily be swept away by the tides. He felt something swimming around his feet but he passed it off as seaweed this was his first mistake. His second one was going deeper into the water straight after the 'seaweed' incident and the final mistake was... well knowing Gabe I guess.

Something skimmed Sam's ankle again and now he was getting paranoid, he was frantically looking around the water to see if he could see anything but couldn't. That's when whatever was in the water grabbed onto his ankle and was pulling him down. Sam was a large man so was able to fight back, he was kicking his legs and making an awful racket- that's when he kicked whatever was attacking him. He saw blood starting to surround him but he didn't recall feeling hurt anywhere and when he calmed down and stopped moving he heard a groan

"Stupid sasquatch"

Sam spun round and low and behold there was Gabe and his broken nose

"Gabe!?"

Sam and Gabriel's fun day was cut short as they both made their way to the local hospital and were home with a drugged up Gabriel manhandling Sam the rest of the evening.

~Dean and Castiel~

The couple had been having fun together in the water, Castiel had mastered the basics of swimming and the two of them were just floating and talking together when the incident happened. They both looked in the direction of the couple leaving the water and when they saw that Gabriel was hurt and saw Sam mouthing hospital they both laughed and went back to their conversation. They both knew that if it was anything bad Sam would have said or at least Gabriel would be overdramatic like the drama queen he is.

"We should really tell them Dean, it's been a week now"

"I know Cas but I don't know how to! It's not like you can have a party to announce that we are engaged!"

Dean saw the spark in Castiel eyes ad the grin that slowly spread across his whole face

"That's a great idea! We can invite everyone over-"

"I was joking Cas"

"-and tell them then!"

Dean deadpanned

"You've got to be joking"

"I'm serious Dean! At least this way this way we only have to do it once because everyone will be in the same room"

Dean thought it through and Cas was right, it was the best and easiest way to share their news. Dean swam across to get Castiel and hugged him whilst laying gentle kisses around his face

"I knew I was marrying you for your brains"

Dean corrected himself when he saw Castiel's face

"And your beauty!"

Castiel smirked

"Lets not forget I'm very talented in bed as well"

Cas smirked and Dean zoned out into a memory of one night they were in bed together and Castiel was very imaginative in his uses for rope, he had never thought being trussed up like a turkey could be so hot.

"Dean!"

"DEAN!"

Dean was focusing now

"Fine, but your planning the party and I want payment that night- bring your toys and plenty of rope!"

Castiel was grinning now, he thanked Dean with a handjob whilst telling him what he was gonna do with Dean that night. Dean had never came so hard in his life. Castiel swam away (as best as he could) to invite the rest of the group - minus Sam and Gabe.

~The rest of the group- Charlie, Jo, Becky, Ruby, Anna, Bobby, Jody, Ash, Garth and Kevin~

Bobby was manning the barbeque and the rest of the group were huddled together around the camp fire that Ash had started. It was only beginning to get dark but it was cold already. They all watched Dean and Castiel frolic in the water and they all groaned and turned around in disgust when they saw what Castiel was doing to Dean.

Cas was first to join the group again, snatching a burger of the grill and answering the groups question of why he was so cheery.

"We are having a party next week and you all have to be there"

"What's so important about this party boy?"

"Its to celebrate our-"

Castiel stopped himself from saying 'engagement' , he could see that the group eyes were all and quickly said

"- our, um, friendship! Yes our friendship"

Dean joined the group just as Castiel finished telling them where and when to arrive. They ate their food whilst chatting about various different things, when the sun was setting and yawning became contagious everybody decided to head home. They said their goodbyes and Castiel made everyone promise they would be at his party before he was happy to leave.

Dean spent the ride home with Cas nattering on about what type of party he was going to plan and what to serve. Obviously he talked about how they should tell their friends and family the good news, Dean had a few suggestions

"What about a cake saying 'we're engaged'?"

"Dance recital?"

"A banner?"

"A billboard in the middle of the town?"

Dean got told to shut up and focus on driving after suggesting that they write and perform a song in front of the party.
