Cas knocked on the red door three times. His palms were sweaty and his face red. This was as close to the line as Cas had ever gotten. He paced the front porch, swinging his hands to and fro. It seemed minutes before the door opened to a Dean half wearing a shirt and an embarrassed Cas who was quickly regretting his decision. He debated going home but Dean spoke before he could.
"Come in, sorry, i'm not a big fan of shirts." He laughed then tugged at the hem and pulled it all the way down, covering himself.
"Oh, no. Its ok." Cas took a step in and took off his shoes.
Dean lead them to the living room where a football game was currently playing and evidence of a bachelor could be seen (a huge TV and a room that definitely had not been cleaned in a while was all that Cas needed to know that this man was currently single).
They sat down at the couch and watched the game. Every once in awhile Dean would ask a question and Cas would have a one word answer falling out of his mouth. Cas was very uncomfortable. He had never been this close to a man he had found attractive before.
He spent his entire life in denial. He feigned interest in women with his co workers, visited the websites, bought the magazines, and talked with his fellow church goers about the unholiness of gay marriage. He convinced himself he was straight, nothing could convince him otherwise.
The game continued. Cas' body heated up as he became increasingly aware of the small space between them. Dean sat with glazed eyes at the TV, they kept twitching from Cas to the TV. Cas of course didn't notice because he was too busy keeping his eyes straight ahead. He twitched in his seat, he had to pee. He looked at Dean, looked at the TV, and then back at Dean. Dean suddenly shot up screaming and smiling. Cas was a little flustered but joined in, not really knowing what was happening. He used the opportunity to ask for the bathroom.
"I-um, do you mind if I use your restroom?" His voice was a little shaky.
"Oh, ya, sure. Go down the hallway and it will be the second door on the left." Dean pointed down the hallway.
"Thanks."
Cas walked down the hall and opened a door. Oops, wrong room. There was a king sized bed and a closet, and that was about it, except for a video camera on a camera stand pointed to the bed. Cas slowly closed the door and opened the one next to it, which was fortunately the right one.
