"I am not a girl!" Sam protested loudly, he and Gabriel were in the very back room of the store listening to Dean and Cas. Gabriel clapped a hand over Sam's mouth so the others wouldn't hear him.
"Shut it!" Gabe hissed, then sucked in a breath as Sam bit his hand "Ow!"
"Don't be such a baby!" Sam smirked.
"I think Cas likes him- I mean this Cas- I know the other Cas does, he's practically in love with him."
"And Dean likes Cas… maybe this is a good plan." Sam said.
"You bet, Sammy! It's a match made in Heaven!"
Dean had wrapped Sam's book in light blue paper and he set it on the table while he turned on the stove to make pancakes, it was Sam's birthday, after all. He hummed a little to himself and mixed and poured the batter. He heard the sound of Sam's giant feet in the next room.
"Someone got up on the right side of the bed. What's happened with you?" Sam asked, doing his best not to give anything away.
"What? Oh, I'm just having a good morning." Dean turned avoiding the real question.
"Uh-hu, sure. This is suppose to be my good morning!" Sam said skeptical.
"What? I'm not allowed to have a good morning?" Dean replied, "Oh, I got you something, Sammy, it's on the table."
Sam walked over and picked up the light blue package, tearing a strip in the paper and pulling out the book. "No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency…" Sam mused as he read the back, "Oh thanks, it sounds great!" He couldn't help but smirk at the memory of Dean and Cas talking in the store.
"Glad you like it," Dean smiled then added, "What are you smirking at?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Thanks for the pancakes."
Dean took Sam to lunch at a small cafe right next to Page of Heaven Bookstore, the one Dean had gone into the day before. He glanced to the shop thinking of Castiel's piercing blue eyes. He parked the Impala and they walked inside and sat down. The waiter came over and took their orders, his name tag said 'Gabriel' and Dean thought he looked familiar somehow.
"I'll be right back with your food!" He said.
"Thanks Gabriel!" Sam said.
"Do you know that guy?" Dean asked, confused at Sam's familiarity with the waiter.
"Oh, I come here for lunch a lot." Sam said quickly
"Yeah, right" Dean said, "I've never seen you in here before and you've never even mentioned it!"
"I have, too! Besides, it's my birthday and whatever I say goes." Sam made his 'hah, take that' bitchface and Dean groaned.
"Bitch."
"Jerk."
After lunch, Dean asked Sam if he wanted to go check out the bookstore to see if there was another book he wanted for his birthday (though Sam knew the real reason why Dean wanted to go in) and he agreed. They walked in, Sam trying not to hit any shelves with his huge arms. Castiel was sitting behind his counter, nose in a book.
"Hey Cas!" Dean called, watching as Castiel jumped and dropped his book.
"Oh! Dean!" Cas relaxed, "Why are you here again? Not that you shouldn't be or something -wait- did you call me 'Cas'?"
"Did I? It must've just… slipped out, sorry." Dean replied nervously.
"No, it's fine. I like it. It's… familiar…" Cas smiled and trailed off, looking Dean in the eye. Sam cleared his throat and Dean realized he'd been staring at Cas for much long.
"Uh, Cas, this is my brother Sam." Dean looked away, "He liked the book you picked out, right Sammy?"
"It's nice to meet you." Sam and Castiel said together. They shook hands and stood back awkwardly.
"So, what can I do for you?" Cas asked.
"Well, we were next door and I brought Sam so he could see if he wanted another book for his birthday." Dean explained.
"Oh, my brother's cafe? Sugar Love Cafe?"
"Yeah, your brother owns that?"
"Yeah, it's always been his dream to have a cafe."
"Huh. Well, Dean we should probably get going." Sam interrupted, this was going to have to wait, he had to talk to Gabe.
"Right, yeah, you're right, Sammy, let's go." Dean nodded, "Bye Cas."
"Oh, okay," Cas said, "Oh, wait! Here, Dean I found this and I thought you may like it." He handed Dean a book, shyly.
"Thanks Cas. Bye" Dean smiled and took the book, reading the title, 'Supernatural'.
