Day 6 - making fun of one another
Dean Winchester Hates Fru-Fru Girly Shows
Dean plopped down next to Cas on the couch and scooped a handful of popcorn into his mouth.
"Wanna just see what's on Netflix?" Cas asked as he grabbed the remote and then settled against Dean's side.
Dean made an affirmative noise around the mouthful of popcorn and Cas navigated to Netflix. Suddenly Dean made a panicked noise and tried snatching the remote away from Cas, causing the popcorn to spill.
"Dean, what the – " Cas started
But he stopped, staring at the screen. Underneath the words "Recently Watched," right next to "My List" (which contained action shows and movies with bloody title cards), was a juxtaposed picture of Cas in a suit looking playfully over his shoulder and holding a wand, in front of a background of wedding dresses. "The Wizard of Wedding Dresses" was written at the bottom of the picture in bright purple cursive.
"You've been watching my show?" Cas asked with a grin, turning to face Dean, who was bright red. "You been watching my show!" he declared triumphantly, throwing his head back as he laughed.
"Yeah, yeah, yuck it up," Dean grumbled, getting up off the couch to start picking up the spilled popcorn.
"But you said you hated fru-fru girly shows," Cas teased as he got down to help.
"Well I wouldn't be a very good, supportive boyfriend if I didn't watch, now would I?" Dean asked, frowning to himself. "Besides, I miss you when you're gone, and – " He stopped himself a second too late and looked up at Cas.
Cas stared at him with wide, Egyptian blue eyes. Then he broke into a smile and pressed the back of his hand to his mouth. He shook his head and Dean blushed even redder.
"That…" Cas started, "is the cutest thing I have ever heard."
Dean scratched the back of his neck and mumbled nonsense under his breath, then let out a noise of surprise when Cas gripped either side of his head and pulled him into a fierce kiss. Cas released him after a moment and pressed their foreheads together.
"I'm sorry I have to be gone so much," Cas murmured. "Much of the time, I'd rather be here."
"I know, I know," Dean murmured back, then kissed Cas quickly and sat back to smile at him. "But this way at least I can pretend I'm there with you, Mr. Wizard." Dean grinned conspiratorially then and said, "By the way, should I be jealous of that girl in Kentucky?"
Cas groaned and put his face in his hands. "Oh no, you saw that episode?"
Dean cackled. "She really planted one on you!"
"She was flirting with me throughout the entire appointment," Cas complained. "Her little sister was trying to buy a wedding dress and all she could think about was hitting on the gay consultant."
"So she really had no clue?" Dean asked with a laugh.
Cas shook his head. "Apparently not!"
Dean laughed and picked up the last of the popcorn. "Poor girl. You probably broke her heart."
"I'm not sad," Cas replied, standing up and brushing his pants off. "She probably found the guy of her dreams like I did."
Dean paused on his way to throw the contaminated popcorn away. Cas froze too. For a moment Dean considered telling him the big three words. It was a little soon, maybe. They hadn't even been dating for six months yet, but the feeling was there. But he'd never said those words to anyone outside of his family, and it was a big deal. And part of him – the chick flicky part of him that he'd never admit to – wanted it to be perfect when he told Cas, not in his living room after picking up popcorn.
"Yeah, she probably did," Dean said genially, walking into the kitchen and tossing the popcorn out and putting another bag in the microwave.
He glanced over his shoulder at Cas, who was pursing his lips to hide smile as he flipped through the movie channels.
