As the rain hammered down on the broken, leaking roof of the two star hotel on route 9, Dean looked over to his baby brother. It was the week before Christmas so the brothers had decided to give themselves the week off, as a Christmas present after their hard work that year. Sam was lying on one of the single beds in the room, his eyes were drooping and he started muttering about something or other but Dean wasn't listening. He was planning. Even as children, the Winchester boys had never had a decent Christmas, it's not like John hadn't tried, the job really didn't allow free time. So Dean had decided he would give Sammy the best damn Christmas he's ever had. Starting with a gift. There was only one problem, he had no idea what the hell Sam wanted. The whole Lucifer ordeal had left little time for the boys to discuss their hobbies leaving Dean at a loss. However any further thought was put at a standstill as the all too familiar sound of flapping wings bought Dean out of his thoughts and left him staring at the rogue angel, Castiel.

"Hey Cas" Dean waved as he went back to staring at the all too fascinating ceiling.

"Hello Dean" the rough, deep voice of Jimmy Novak replied. Cas sounded nervous, this bought Dean's attention away from Sammy's favourite music and onto the fidgeting angel in front of him.

"Hey, are you ok there Mr Fidget?" Cas looked at him, his head turned a little to the side.

"I don't understand what you're implying." Dean shook his head, you would have thought after spending so much time with the Winchesters, the angel would have picked up on some social normalities.

"I meant are you ok? You seem, I don't know, tense?" This caused Cas to shift on his feet and look down, almost in embarrassment.

"Well, I have been informed it is almost Christmas and I thought I would get you and your brother something to celebrate the occasion." He looked up and searched Dean's face, looking for anything that would suggest he did something wrong. Dean was stunned, sure he's spent a lot of time with the angel in the past year or so but he certainly wasn't expecting a present from the awkward man.

"Wow Cas" Dean managed to spit out after an uncomfortable amount of time. "I don't know what to say, thanks man." He took the present Cas was holding out for him. It was neatly wrapped in blue wrapping paper with smiling reindeer's on. As Dean tore open the paper, being careful to be quiet as Sam was now fast asleep on the bed, he revealed a photo frame. Dean studied the picture closely, he smiled. The picture was of Sam, Cas and Dean. It had been taken after a particularly tiresome hunt and Sam had suggested they go and get coffee. They'd sat down and Sammy took a picture, he said it would capture the rare moment of peace, the heroes never tended to have. Dean had his classic 'womanizing' smile on, Sam had a lop-sided grin on his face and Cas, who was sitting next to Dean, was grinning like an idiot with his eyes closed and tongue sticking out. Underneath, Cas had written 'Best Friends Forever' in his beautiful hand-writing. Dean looked up at Cas, who was looking at him in anticipation and smiled.

"It's amazing Cas, thank you." Castiel smiled, in relief mostly. He sat down next to Dean on the bed and looked at him, his expression turned to his over used serious face once more.

"Ok Cas, you've gone awkward again, what's wrong?" Cas sighed and scratched the back of his neck.

"As you know, I'm... no longer welcome in Heaven so have nowhere to go for Christmas and I thought, maybe if it's not too much trouble..." Dean laughed, earning a worried look from the otherwise nervous angel.

"Cas, you are more than welcome to spend Christmas with me and Sammy." He patted Cas on the back.

"Thank you Dean, that means a lot."

"No worries Cas, after all, it's the least I can do after, you know, you rebelled from heaven for me." Cas chuckled and lay down on the bed, looking up at the ceiling that had occupied Dean only 10 minutes ago.

"That's true actually." This time it was Dean's turn to chuckle and he lay back down next to Cas.

"Merry Christmas Cas."

"Merry Christmas Dean."
