Dean-22

Sam-18 (at Stanford)

Cassie-16

*Home for the holidays* *Cassie's POV*

"So what are we going this Christmas?" I ask as I made my way down the stair case into the kitchen where my mother was scrambling eggs and Dean sat reading a newspaper with a red pen hanging out of his mouth.

"Whatever you want sweetie." Mom smiled kissing my forehead as I grabbed a piece of Dean's toast ignoring his mutters of protest.

"Well, we've got 3 days so I think we should snake the keys to the truck and get a tree." I smile at Dean who laughs making the pen fall out of his mouth.

"First, Princess, I'm not stealing dad's keys, that would get me grounded on a holiday and second, we don't need a tree." Dean rolled his eyes circling an article in the papers.

"But I want a tree." I pout leaning into him.

"C'mon Cas, I'm not going to drive around the city in search for a stupid tree."

"I haven't had a tree in years, De, please?" I give him my best puppy eyes and he sighs loudly, I've done it, I have won. "Yay!" I cheer jumping up hugging Dean round the neck. He mumble swears and pushes me away as he stands up pulling on a sweater.

"You're gonna pay for it though!" I hear Dean shout from the other outside the front door. I turned to throw my mom a huge smile before following him out to John's truck. We weren't allowed to drive John's truck when he took the Impala on the road. Dean was pretty upset about missing his baby, but John promised he would be back soon.

Dean and I were going to do a hunt this week, but because it was almost Christmas time John told us he would take it so we could celebrate for the holidays. Dean climb into the cab of the truck just as I climb into the other side.

"Okay, so princess where to first?"

"How about we start over at the hardware store? They usually have them there."

"I'm not in for this Christmas thing. Why the Hell do you want to celebrate this year?"

"I don't know," I smiled looking up at him as he started the truck. "I guess this year is one of the first years I can have it with my family."

"I though your mom said she was working Christmas morning? And Dad isn't gonna be back in time, it's just you and me, Cassie." Dean glanced over at me as we drove down the streets.

"That's all the family I need." I flashed him a smile as he sighed looking back at the street in front of him. He can't fool me, I saw that grin on his face. Dean can never hide his warm fuzzy side with me.

"So were you thinking you wanted a big tree or little tree?" Dean said after a few minutes of silence. I was smiling big and jumped over the seat to hug him around the waist.

"Thank you De!" I smile and feel him laughing.

"Whatever, Princess."

"Aw, admit it De. You love me! And you can't stand to see me sad." I smirked as he huffed pushing his chest out. "Ya know, if you want to feel manly again you could go punch a wall?"

"I like my hand the way it is, thank you."

"Oh yeah Cassie, I love you too!" I mutter in a sarcastic tone while he snickered.

"Hey, no chick flick moments." Dean glances over at me and I stick my tongue out at him.

"Fine, but the tree is gonna be huge!"

"Cassie, wake up, Cassie." I heard someone whispering in my ear as I was shaken awake. "Cassie, wake up it's Christmas." I jolted from my bed with a smile on my face. Dean was smiling over me.

"Good morning!" I cheer sitting up and yawning getting ready to run down stairs. "And Merry Christmas!" Dean laughed as I pulled on my jacket sitting next to me.

"You take to long." Dean groaned and just when I was going to shoot off a clever remark I felt him lift me body and toss me over his shoulder. I screamed as he took off down the halls with me bouncing on his back.

"De! Stop! Let Me Down!" I shout giggling. He drops me onto the couch and I laugh kicking his legs.

"Shut up, I got you something." He smiles handing me a red badly wrapped present. I took it biting my lip and reaching under the tree that we go days ago to get the present I got Dean.

"I got you something too." I handed it to him and started ripping paper off of the present he got me. I found a white box inside and when I opened it I saw a long gold chain. I pulled the chain out of the book with a gasp staring at how beautiful it was. When I pulled it out of the box I saw that their was something attached to the bottom. It was angel wings, small golden angel wings. "Dean. Thank you. I love it." I say still spinning the pendent in my hands.

"I saw it in a shop by Bobby's house a couple weeks back. It means a lot to me, my mom used to tuck me in at night and tell me that angels were watching over me. I want them to watch over you too." Dean finished glancing shyly at the floor. I felt my heart filling with emotions and I walked over to him wrapping my arms around his neck. he doesn't understand how much it means to me.

"Open yours." I mutter wiping my eyes as I pulled away. He nodded opening his package. I didn't know what to get him at first, I mean what do you get a demon hunter who doesn't want anything, but I was doing some shopping in town and found this pocket knife with a thin black blade that was to beautiful not to get. Dean pulled out the knife with a smirk.

"You know me to well, princess." Dean flipped open the knife and like me I could tell was admiring the handle shape and long black blade. "I love it, thanks." He smiled kissing the top of my head.

"Merry Christmas Dean."

"Merry Christmas Cas."
