Carving Pumpkins
Castiel stared quizzically at the giant pumpkins on the motel room table. Gabriel had conjured them along with a bunch of knives and weird looking instrument. Castiel picked up the unidentified object and turned it over in his hand.
"Dean. I don't understand the purpose of this."
Dean looked over at the angel and gave him a smile.
"We carve the pumpkins with the knives and use that –" He pointed to the object in Cas's hand. "- to scrape out the stuff on the inside."
Dean sat at the table and started to carve the top off of one of the pumpkins. Cas still looked at the scraping tool inquiringly.
"Why?"
Dean let out a sigh. He loved Cas, but sometimes explaining things got a little tiring.
"Cuz it's fun Cassie."
Dean groaned as Gabriel joined them at the table.
"If it's supposed to be fun, why are you here?" Dean said giving Gabe a smirk.
"Dean." Both Cas and Sam said warningly.
"I'm loads of fun," Gabriel said with a wink.
Dean just groaned and continued carving up his pumpkin. Sam sat down with the trio, plopping down big bags of candy. The archangel's eyes lit up at the sight.
"Oh Sam. You know the way right to my heart," Gabe said overdramatically. He reached out for the bag only to have his hand swatted away by Sam.
"Those are for everyone."
Dean rolled his eyes as Gabe and Sam started to bicker. They'd been doing that a lot lately. He turned to look back at his angel, who was now staring at the pumpkin in front of him.
"You okay, Cas?"
"Yes. I just trying to decide what to do."
Dean chuckled. "You can start by picking up a knife and cutting a hole in the top."
"Is there a proper way to do it?"
Dean sighed as Cas looked over at him, that damn adorable confused look on his face. He pushed his chair back and walked over so that he was standing behind Cas.
"Here. I'll show you."
Dean placed the knife in Castiel's hand and placed his own over the angel's. He lifted it and started to cut a hole in the top of Castiel's pumpkin.
Castiel leaned back so that he was closer to Dean as they carved the pumpkin. He could feel Dean's breath on his neck. He started to forget that Gabriel and Sam were even in the room.
Sam cleared his throat and the couple snapped back to reality. Dean backed away from Cas, removing his hand from on top of the other's in the process.
"Well, it looks like you've got the idea now."
He sat back in front of his own pumpkin and acted like nothing had happen. He looked at Sam and Gabriel and just shrugged his shoulders. He then looked back over at Cas who was grinning like a fool.
