A/N: The boys finally get somewhere, and Gabriel's master plan is no longer needed.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Dean managed to catch Cas right before he entered the cafeteria for lunch. He grinned at the confused look on Cas' face, motioning for him to follow the older teen to an empty hallway.
"Sorry," Dean chuckled, noticing that Cas seemed a little disgruntled at having been pulled away from his lunch. "I wanted to do this without everybody watching."
Cas tilted his head to one side, even more confused than before.
"Do what?" He asked, praying that it didn't have anything to do with the 'master plan' Gabe had been working on all weekend. All of his matchmaking endeavours, much like his pranks, had a nasty habit of hurting Cas more than anyone else.
"Okay, so... I really like you," Dean started, cringing as he spoke. "Wait, that was lame. Let me start over."
Cas blinked at him, still not quite able to process the situation.
"I... uh... Will you go out with me?" Dean finally managed to stammer out, cheeks red with embarrassment. "God, I'm usually smoother than this, I promise. It's just... I start talking and then I forget everything I was gonna say, cause you look at me like that and then all I can think of how great you look, and how blue your eyes are, and how your voice should probably be illegal."
Cas blinked again, shock keeping him quiet for longer than he would like.
"Did you just ask me to go out with you?" He asked, his brain finally beginning to catch up.
Dean cringed again, freckles hidden by his blush. "Yeah, kinda."
"Good," Cas said, with a decisive nod, stepping forward and placing a soft kiss on Dean's cheek. "Now I won't have to endure Gabriel's insufferable attempts at matchmaking."
They held hands as they made their way into the cafeteria for lunch, and grinned and blushed at the knowing smirks and laughter from their friends. Gabriel was the only one who seemed displeased.
"It's not fair!" He protested, pouting at the happy couple, who had forced Benny to move seats so that they could sit next to each other. "I worked hard on that plan! It was perfect. That plan was going to convince Dean that the sun shines out my brother's ass!"
Sam choked on his drink. "Gabe!" He cried, shooting the older teen a disgusted look. "Just be happy for them, for god's sake! I'm trying to eat here."
Benny and Ash laughed when Kevin agreed with the younger Winchester.
"I call dibs on being Maid of Honour at your wedding," Charlie said, grinning when Dean flung one of his fries at her in response.
Cas smiled to himself as he began to eat, content to know that he and Dean's relationship wasn't going to change anything in the group.
"I am happy for you guys though," Gabriel reassured them. "And I'm sure I don't have to warn you, Dean, that if you hurt him..."
Dean laughed."You'll kick my ass, and I'll let you," he replied, smiling down at Cas.
"Nope, I'll set Luci on you," Gabe corrected, snickering a little at the adoring looks that the two didn't bother to hide anymore. "But I'm a little offended that you think you'd have to let me kick your ass."
Benny slapped him on the shoulder, laughing loudly. "You're a little something," he joked, snagging some of Dean's fries.
