AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Dean teaching Castiel to enjoy food. I just wanted to get this up... the writing sucks but it's just a bit of fluffy fun. If you want something with higher calibre writing check out some of my Gossip Girl (especially Pretence and Acceptance - I'm really proud of that one), Buffy or Harry Potter stories.
OK, enough shameless self-promotion. Enjoy!
I have ideas for a couple more chapters... but if you have a specific pleasure (... not that one - mind out of gutter!] you want Dean to teach Castiel about, I'm open to suggestions!
Dean pushed the plate towards the angel sitting across from him. Castiel stared at the hamburger and mound of french fries on the plate before him, frowning slightly.
"Just eat the freaking burger Cas"
"Dean, as I have told you many times, my vessel does not require nourishment"
Dean tried to squash the frustration that was rising in him and threatening to spill over.
"Humans don't just eat to survive. We eat because it's fun"
Castiel shot Dean a disapproving glance."Gluttony is a sin."
Dean rolled his eyes and took a deep breath, pushing thoughts of strangling Castiel out of his mind.
"Burger. Mouth. Not that hard... and it's not like you've never eaten before. I've seen you devour an entire cow's worth of burgers"
"I was under the influence of Famine. I had no control over myself " Cas pointed out coldly.
"But they made you happy" Dean reminded him.
Castiel reluctantly conceded with a nod of his head.
"So humour me and eat up..." Dean's voice was encouraging, as though he was talking to a child.
Cas eyed the burger doubtfully, but picked it up with both hands and brought it to his mouth. He didn't know how the hunter always managed to talk him into doing whatever he wanted. He was an all-powerful angel, he should be able to resist the influence of one measly human... even if that human was Dean Winchester.
Cas sighed and took a big bite of the burger. It was a bacon cheeseburger - Dean's favourite.
He chewed slowly.
"Well...?" Dean cast a worried glance at the angel. Castiel's eyes were huge, his pupils dilated.
Cas smiled slightly.
"I had forgotten how good burgers taste" he spoke thickly, through a mouthful of food.
Dean grinned back at him. He didn't know why, but the fact that Cas liked his favourite food, made him happy.
"Now we just have to teach you some table manners" he added.
Cas took another bite of his burger."I don't understand"
Dean's nose wrinkled in disgust. "Don't talk with your mouth full"
Cas nodded and swallowed the last of his burger.
"I want another"
"Humans generally only eat one"
"I'm not human"
Dean sighed. His attempt at trying to teach the angel how to enjoy things in moderation was failing miserably.
"...you'll get fat"
Cas snorted. "I am an angel-of-the-Lord. We do not store excess fat"
"I don't know... Zachariah was looking a bit round around the middle"
"Dean..." Cas pouted, his eyes pleading.
Dean's eyes widened in shock. Was Castiel making puppy eyes at him?
"Stop making that face Cas! Did Sam teach you that?"
Cas nodded.
"I'm going to kill him" Dean muttered to himself.
"Is the 'puppy-dog face' working?" Cas asked " Sam said that it was a powerful weapon that I could use to make people bend to my will"
"It doesn't work on me" Dean lied.
"Just one more...?" Cas whined.
Dean didn't want to give in so easily. It was annoying how easily Castiel with his stupid bright blue eyes and messy black hair.
"... gluttony is a sin"
Castiel cast him a dark look and replied haughtily. "I rebelled against Heaven. I highly doubt a bit of overindulgence will make a difference."
Dean gulped nervously. Rebel Cas was kind of sexy.
