"Hey Ellen."
Dean said, casually taking a seat at their old booth.
"Hey Dean- Cas!"
She shouted, pulling the blue-eyed boy into a hug.
"Ellen."
Cas replied, he missed her, she was like a second mother to the boys.
"Why haven't I seen you around recently?" Ellen asked, playfully punching Cas in the arm.
"I don't know I guess Dean and I kind of...fell out?"
"Fell out?- is that why you've been coming here all sad and moping?"
Dean blushed.
"Ellen...!"
She smirked
"Okay, okay, the usual then?"
"Of course."
"Take of those shades boy, were you raised in a barn?"
Yelled Ellen.
Dean sighed, removing his sunglasses.
Ellen gasped.
"Dean- what happened? Who hurt you? I'll kill em!"
She growled angrily.
"It doesn't matter, just don't tell dad."
Dean said, giving her a pleading look.
"Okay."
She said, gently rubbing Dean's cheek.
"I'll get you boys your food."
Cas twiddled his thumbs and looked around nervously.
"What's wrong?"
Dean asked, reaching his hand over and brushing a hand over Cas' arm.
"I'm scared to go home."
Cas whimpered, Dean's gaze softened.
"That's okay- just stay at mine."
Dean's immediate offer surprised Cas.
"Won't your dad mind?"
Dean shrugged.
"By the time we get home, my dad will be too drunk to notice- probably passed out on the couch or something- and we can just sneak into my room through the window."
Cas gave a sigh of relief.
"Thanks Dean."
Cas said.
"Anytime."
Dean replied.
"I missed you."
Dean thought to himself.
Shit! He had said that out loud.
Cas grinned.
"I missed you too Dean."
Cas replied, staring fondly into Dean's eyes. He felt the heat in his cheeks rise as Dean's eyes drifted to Cas' lips.
"Dean-I.."
Cas mumbled, going to lean forward, but they were interrupted by Ellen's sudden appearance- but she had burgers- so Cas silently forgave her.
Dean drew back as Ellen arrived. Were he and Cas about to...kiss? Did he want to kiss Cas? Maybe he did... his head was spinning, but he soon relaxed after taking a big bite out of his burger.
Cas smiled as Dean wolfed down his burger- he always loved to eat. Probably because John never fed them properly at home, Cas thought to himself.
They had soon finished their burgers, and headed back to Dean's place.
"Shhh..."
Dean whispered.
Cas nodded in understanding, and followed Dean around the side of the house, until they were directly underneath Dean's bedroom window.
Cas wondered if Dean's room had changed since the last time they'd been there...since...
That was behind them now. He gazed fondly on as Dean climbed up the wall, using the grooves in the wall, probably ones that he had made- Dean was always clever like that.
It was a short climb, but Cas watched on in awe.
"Come on."
Dean said.
Cas gulped- he was never going to be able to do this!
Dean chuckled, leaning out the window, so that he was practically falling out.
"Don't worry- I'll help you up, you just have to climb up like three steps."
Dean called down.
"Dean- what if you fall?"
"I won't get hurt- you'll break my fall!"
Dean teased.
Cas rolled his eyes.
"That's not comforting Dean!"
"I know."
"You're a dick!"
Cas laughed.
"I know."
Dean gave him the patented shit-eating Dean Winchester smirk.
"I love you."
"I know."
Dean chuckled.
"I didn't know you liked Star Wars Cas!"
Thank god- Cas thought to himself- Dean thought he was quoting Star Wars.
"Things change, I guess."
Was all Cas could say, before proceeding to climb nervously up the wall.
Dean helped him up, grabbing his hand, and then wrapping another arm around Cas' waist.
Cas shuddered at the contact, once they had reached the window sill, Dean fell back, still clutching tightly onto Cas' waist. They were both breathing heavily, Cas lying on top of Dean, his hands either side of his head, mainly to brace the impact of hitting the floor, but also to stop his and Dean's lips from touching.
Dean burst into a fit of laughter.
Cas did the same, but in doing so, let his hands buckle and his lips collide with Dean's. At first he felt Dean draw back in surprise, and he was going to pull away, but then he felt Dean kiss back too, and was certain as he he felt Dean's hands snake up his back.
Cas brushed his tongue against Dean's lips and grinned slightly as Dean opened his mouth. Cas slipped his tongue into Dean's mouth. Dean let out a small moan as Cas' tongue hit the back of his throat, and Cas groaned back from the vibrations this caused.
Cas finally pulled away.
"Dean..."
Cas half moaned, half panted.
"When did you...start having...feelings..."
Cas groaned.
Dean smiled.
"I don't know Cas...I started feeling like this...before you told me you were gay."
Cas' eyes widened.
"So...why did you react the way you did?"
Dean sat up, letting his hands roam over Cas' chest while he answered, his breath hitches as he felt Cas' pounding heartbeat, which seemed to match his own.
"I...I couldn't face up to my feelings- I'd always been taught it was wrong to feel like that- it was confusing- not to mention you were my best friend...I was just so frustrated with myself, cause I couldn't figure it out- but I took it out on you that day, it was wrong. I'm sorry about that day Cas...I guess I just didn't understand..."
Cas gazed softly into Dean's eyes.
"Understand what?"
"Understand...my feelings for you."
Dean said bluntly.
Cas stared at him, eyes wide with shock.
"You have feelings...for me?"
Dean laughed.
"God- wasn't it blindingly obvious?"
Cas grinned. He supposed it was, looking back on everything.
Dean turned away,
"I understand if you don't feel the same way."
He gasped slightly as Cas placed a hand on each of Dean's cheeks, turning his face towards to him before pulling him in for a deep kiss.
Cas pulled away, forming the half smile that Dean loved.
"Dean Winchester, you must be incredibly blind- of course I do."
