Castiel, being 22 and 'owning' a bakery with his brothers and sister. Michael and Lucifer owned the place, Lucifer was very good with math and Michael was the true owner since he is the eldest. Gaberiel, that was only a three years older than Cas, was the one that makes sure they had all sweets in the bakery but they seem to run out. Raphael helped Castiel bake the pies and cakes. And well Castiel was the baker.
He liked baking since he was a child and begged Michael to help with with his dream. The brothers thought this idea was stupid, but it brought them closer together. But Castiel's sister, Anna wasn't so fond of the idea. She just did it because Castiel was the youngest. Anna was the cashier and the face you first see. But she was gone for the week for health problem?
Early in the morning, Castiel hummed as he baked much of the; pies, cakes, cookies, cupcakes, brownies. Grinning happily, having flour on his face and frosting. Blue and pink. Gabriel sat at one of the tables, reading about recipes that they could use later. Hearing the bell jingle and looked up. The blue eyed male looked up, seeing the forest look at his own. Smiling softly, "Hello. What can I get you?" He felt as if he knew the male, but not knowing where. The green eyed male, or known as Dean. Looked around at the selections.
"Can I get a cherry pie? Along with a simple birthday cake? My brother Sammy is turning 18 and I wanna make this a special birthday." Dean spoke and Cas nodded. "He is pretty special for having a older brother like you." Saying, grabbing two boxes. Putting the pie in one bag and added 'Happy Birthday-' "Sammy. Please write Sammy." Dean spoke and Cas nodded, adding Sammy at the end. Making the 'y' underline everything. Adding a few little birthday balloons, nothing special since Dean said simple. Putting that in another box and bagged everything. Placing the bag into the counter, "That will be 18$." Saying as he was handed a twenty. And gave back the change. Smiling, watching Dean leave with the pie and cake. Now he had something to think about.
For the next week, Dean came by everyday, buying cherry pie each time. Castiel always had one on hand for Dean. Even sometimes when his break was happening, he would sit with Dean and eat with him.
Castiel started to make sandwiches and Gabriel finally doing something that just reading, made coffee. Kinda now having a cafe. Castiel chuckled softly, "Sam sounds like a nice kid. And Jess? Is that his little crush?" Castiel smiled as Dean smirked, "Yeah. He talks about her non-stop. It's so adorable." Cas watched Dean, enjoying how happy the other spoke when it was about Sam. Dean never brought up about his mother or father, Cas never asked and wouldn't until Dean said something about them which hasn't happened. Cas heard the bell jingle and smiled, "My shift is over. See you tomorrow?" Looking at Dean which was a nod. Cas grinned and watched Dean leave.
Gabriel smirked, "Somebody have a crush on Dean-o?" His brother hummed, and saw Cas glare. Keeping on a poker face, "Of course not Gabriel. I am being friendly. Something you might have to learn." Cas almost snapped, it was a self defence thing he did, ever since their father, Castiel has always been very defective. Gabe laughed, "So that's a yes." The trickster hummed which Cas just grumbled in Enochian, a language the brothers were taught before English. "What was that Castiel? Something about wishing Heavens wrath on me?"
Cas for the rest of the day had to deal with Gabriel teasing him and Michael telling Gabe to back off. For some odd reason, Gabe was very protective over Cas lately. It was odd since Gabe usually pranked Cas but after last night when Michael got angry at Luci. Raphael really never got into the fights as he was pretty quiet and just minded his own business.When the next day rolled on, Castiel waited but Dean never showed. Frowning slightly but when back to smiling for the customers. It had been two weeks before Cas saw Dean again. And it wasn't ever at the bakery, it was at Castiel's home. He shared a home with this brothers and Anna lived somewhere in the city.
Cas was wearing Batman shorts, and a white t-shirt with black angel wings on the back. Hearing a knock on the door. Tilting his head, is was 2 in the morning. Who would be knocking at his door now? Humming and opened the door, "Hel- Dean? What are you doing here? Come in, it's freezing out there." Saying and helped the freezing male into the warm home. His brothers were asleep, well Gabe might or not. Grabbing a warm blanket and wrapped it around Dean. "What happened?" Castiel said and went to make a warm cup of black coffee for Dean.
"I was trying to get home. But my baby got stuck in the snow. I came here since it takes a few hours to get home and walking would be hell." Saying as he thanked Castiel for the coffee. Cas say down, crossing his legs. "You could of called me. I would of had the place warm for you." Castiel was very worried, which made Dean feel bad. "I'm sorry Cas. I didn't have it on me." Responding. And relaxed. Castiel sighed and then smiled. "I have some pie in the fridge. Would you like any?" Standing up and saw Dean give a smile. "Please."
Once the two got comfortable and just talked like normal, it was at least 4 in the morning. Cas was curled up against Dean, laying down so his head was on the other's chest. Playing with the necklace, Dean called it a 'Samulet' since Sam gave it to him when he was a teen. Cas hummed softly, slowly falling asleep as Dean rubbed his back. Only knowing Dean for a week or so now, he never felt so safe around someone other than Gabe...
