Author's Note: This is my first try of writing fanfiction. It is also unbeta'd and English is not my mother tongue so there may be a lot of mistakes, sorry for that. Reviews and criticisms would be brilliant! It was supposed to be a one-shot, but I have ideas for another chapter so let me now if I should continue.
Of Annoying Sisters And Blue Eyes
by RaisaAmiss
Loud banging on his front door roused Dean from his far too short sleep. Groaning he buried his head back into his pillow. The knocking didn't cease though. It only got louder and faster. Blinking he lifted his head to look at the alarm clock on his nightstand. 7:30 AM. What the Hell?, he thought. He wasn't expecting anybody. Not until 1 PM at least.
"Sonofabitch", he cursed sleepily, getting up to find out who was now knocking restlessly on his apartment door. Only clad in a green pair of boxers he ripped the door open to stop the annoyingly loud knocking. The redhead in front of it froze, hand still in the air to continue knocking. After a moment a grin broke out on her face and she rushed by Dean into the apartment, leaving Dean to stare after her.
"Who the hell are you? And what are you doing here?", he asked, loud but not quite yelling, the strange woman after throwing the door shut. The redhead turned, surprised by his anger.
"What? Cassie didn't told you I was coming? I would say he forgot, but you know Cassie. He wouldn't, would he?" She looked around the apartment while she was talking, obviously not that interested. Before Dean could ask who the hell she was talking about she turned back and took in his barely dressed figure. Her eyes moved over his toned and muscled chest, down to his legs before moving back up but not without lingering on his crotch. After a close examination of his features she made a approving noise from the back of her throat. "I'm Anna", she said, extending her hand. "Cassie's younger sister. I'm in town for a few days, so I came to visit my favourite brother." She clasped her hands together after Dean released it and looked around delighted. "Now where is he?"
Dean just stared at her for a moment before shaking himself and asking the only question he could form at the moment. "Who's Cassie?"
Anna laughed and cocked her head to look at him with a mix of amusement and irritation. "Cas", she supplied. After a moment of looking into his dumbfounded expression, she continued. "Castiel. It's a nickname. Balth and I use it a lot. He hates it." Her eyes sparkled mischievously at that and another laugh escaped her.
"'m sorry, but you gotta be wrong here. I don't know any 'Castiel's and there's sure as hell no one living here but me."
Anna's eyes roamed over his face as if trying to work out whether he was joking or not. She seemed to find her answer as the grin slid of her face. "Really? Shit, I-" Whatever she was about to say was interrupted by another knock. Dean let out an annoyed groan before he moved to open the door again. He nearly barked out a 'what?!', but as he took in the man staring up at him he seemed to forget his anger about getting woken up by a complete stranger at 7:30.
Whoa, was the first word on his mind. His eyes were drawn in by the impossible blue ones of the stranger staring unblinking up at him. It took him a moment to sort his thoughts enough to move his eyes away to a mop of curly, unruly dark hair and then back down over well defined cheekbones and a slight stubble to beautiful full lips. He was aware that he was staring, but looking back to the other man's eyes confirmed that he was doing the same thing. A polite cough from behind Dean seemed to shake them both out of it.
"I'm sorry to disturb", the man in front of him said, his gravely voice taking Dean aback for a moment. "But I think my sister mistook your apartment for mine and barged in here."
At the sound of the man's voice Anna's head popped up from behind Dean's still bare shoulder. "Hey Cassie", she greeted, sounding excited at seeing her brother, Dean thought. His gaze turned back to the stranger, Castiel, apparently. Anna squeezed through the gap between Dean and the door frame, bumping her shoulder against his in the progress. She threw an arm around Castiel's shoulder and squeezed it.
Castiel smiled at her for a moment before looking back up at Dean. Dean barely avoided a sharp intake of breath as these stunningly blue eyes turned on him again. He didn't hear Anna's quiet snicker though.
"I apologise. She can be quite a handful-" Anna's protesting 'hey!' didn't stop him from continuing, "-if she wants to be. I'm just hoping she wasn't too... brash." His eyes searched Dean's face for any indication of hostility against Anna and her behaviour.
Dean just smiled at the slightly shorter man. "Nah, it's fine. Can happen to anyone. I wanted to get up early anyway." He waited a moment before extending his hand to Castiel. "I'm Dean, by the way."
Castiel's gaze dropped to the offered hand, but instead of shaking it his eyes wandered to Dean's boxers, seemingly realising for the first time that it was the only thing the other man was wearing if the widening of his eyes was anything to go by. Anna apparently caught the small motion as her laughter rang through the hallway. Dean, also having forgot about his state of undressedness, blushed lightly. The blush, barely visible on Dean's cheeks but all the more on his ears and his chest caught Castiel's attention, who in turn also blushed. Dean's hand nearly dropped, not expecting for Castiel to catch at the last moment and shaking it.
"Nice to meet you", he nearly murmured. He cleared his throat and spoke again, louder this time. "My name is Castiel."
Dean glanced over Castiel's shoulder, where Anna was standing mere moments ago, to realise she vanished, along with the keys Castiel had held in his left hand. "Um, yeah. I gathered that much from Anna's rambling", he spoke, trying to act nonchalant. And failing if the amused twitch of Castiel's lips was any indication.
Before Castiel had the chance of replying, a voice echoed through the hallway. "Cassie! C'mon! Let Mr. Handsome go back to sleep!"
The blue-eyed man blushed again and looked up at Dean, only to avert his eyes a moment later. "I have to go, Anna likes to throw things at people that are not listing to her stories. I'd rather avoid that. I apologise again for her."
"Yeah, no problem", Dean mumbled. "I'll see you around, I guess."
"Goodbye, Dean." Castiel shot him a smile before he turned and walked to his apartment door. Anna's head popped up from behind the door frame as soon as she heard footsteps to glare at her brother. She looked around Castiel at Dean and yelled 'Sorry!'
Dean heard Castiel's chuckle echo through the hallway, before the latter turned to wave at Dean, who still stood in his doorway and stared, and then vanish into the apartment. After a moment Dean gathered enough sense to step back into his apartment and close the door. If he then collapsed onto his couch and thought about deep voices and very blue eyes instead of going back to sleep or make breakfast, well then nobody needed to know.
