The boys were now standing side by side next to a three tiered wedding cake surrounded by pies everywhere. Dean's eyes had lit up like a Christmas tree. Sam smirked and leaned over next to Dean's ear whispering softly while their husbands were distracted.
"Dare you to smash pie in Castiel's face instead of cake." Sam nodded slightly towards the pies by their hands and Dean smirked.
"Only if you do it to Gabriel." Sam grinned widely and nodded as they both slowly slid their hands underneath the pies and waited.
John and Chuck had seen the boys smiling evilly and shook their heads as everyone got ready for the cutting of the cake. Castiel and Gabriel smiled up at their husbands before both reaching out and taking a knife. Dean and Sam had to abandon the pies for a few seconds to help with the cutting. Flashes went all around the place, Castiel turned and smiled at Dean widely and Dean found it rather contagious and smiled back just as widely.
"Thank you Dean...I know you didn't want this but it makes our parents happy. I will stick to our deal." Dean frowned a little as Castiel looked away and nudged him gently before placing a hand on his lower back.
"Cas, don't think about that now. Just think about celebrating your wedding, I don't want you sad today." Castiel smiled and nodded before Dean placed a hand over his on the knife and slowly cut out two small pieces. Dean caught Sam's eye as they were both being fed the cake from their husbands and quickly grabbed the pies.
Castiel's eyes went wide once he saw Dean grab the pie and tried to move away but Dean had made sure to wrap his arm around Castiel's waist and hold him still. Dean smashed the pie into Castiel's face and made sure to rub it around before pulling away laughing. Laughter and the sound of camera's going off filled the room.
"Wow Cassie, your husband got you good. Lucky you" Gabriel smiled over to where Castiel was chuckling softly and shaking his head.
"I'm glad you said that because look behind you." Gabriel quirked a confused eyebrow and spun around just in time to meet a pie of his own from Sam. Dean laughed louder along with Sam who made sure every part of the pie went onto Gabriel's face.
"I have no friends here, or husbands!" Castiel looked over at John and Chuck who were wiping tears from their eyes and shook his head. "You knew and didn't warn us!"
John smiled widely and shrugged as Chuck motioned for Castiel to wipe his face with his hand and put it on Dean. Castiel smiled and looked to Gabriel who had noticed his father's motions as well. Both boys wiped as much pie off from their faces as possible and walked up to their husbands who were busy laughing, talking, and high-fiving each other on their accomplishment. Gabriel nodded to Castiel as they slowly walked up behind them and reached around while rubbing whatever was on their hands on their husbands unsuspecting faces.
More cheers erupted from the crowd and more pictures were taken. Dean and Sam both shook their heads and chuckled.
"What comes around, goes around Samwich" Gabriel smiled up at Sam and leaned up to kiss his pie covered cheek.
Mary and Eve came up behind the boys and ushered them into the restrooms to clean up. Sam and Gabriel walked in front of Dean and Castiel, Gabriel was currently complaining about how difficult it would be to get the suit back to white. Sam ruffled Gabriel's hair and Dean looked to Castiel who was smiling at the small gesture Sam had made.
Dean looked back to his brother and brother in law and gave a small smile. Dean had also noticed how much Gabriel had always meant to him, even when Sam was with Jess. He had always overlooked it but now that they were married he hoped Sam would be happy, the small things he did for Gabriel always seemed to come naturally without a second thought.
They were currently in the bathroom where they were each trying to clean their own faces off. Dean watched Castiel for a bit before getting to work on his own face.
"Alright I'm done!" Gabriel threw his towel on the sink and turned to go before Sam caught his arm and pulled Gabriel close.
"You missed a few spots Gabe. Come here." Gabriel's cheeks flushed as Sam wrapped an arm around his waist and focused on cleaning him up.
Castiel and Dean both paused in what they were doing and watched the two boys. Dean bit his lip and quickly looked away feeling as if he were intruding on a really personal moment. His eyes flicked over to Castiel who had gone back to leaning over the sink and wiping his face. This is what Dean meant when Sam's gestures towards Gabriel came naturally. Dean wouldn't have thought of doing that at all, he would of instead gave Castiel a towel and pushed him towards the mirror.
Castiel sighed softly and finally pulled away placing the towel down neatly and nodding to the other three boys before walking out. He was jealous of his brother, he wanted Dean to do something like that to him too. He knew it wasn't right but Dean had been the only guy he had ever loved and it irked Castiel to know and see Gabriel and Sam always doing the things he wished Dean would do to him.
Castiel let his shoulders slump as he walked back towards the dining hall. He heard footsteps behind him but ignored them, thinking it was merely another worker. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see his younger brother standing behind him.
"Where you off to in a rush Cassie?" Castiel smiled and placed his hand on Gabriel's and giving a light squeeze.
"Can't leave our guests waiting long can we?" Gabriel smiled and nodded throwing his arm over his brother and walking into the dining hall. They slowly made their way back to their seats and Castiel looked over at Gabriel.
"Congratulations Gabriel, seems my brother in law is truly smitten by my brother." Gabriel flushed and smiled at the two brothers entering the dining hall and heading their way.
"Congratulations to you too Cas. Now you can make Dean fall in love." Cas gave a small smile and shook his head meeting his brothers eyes evenly.
"No Gabriel, Dean already made it clear, this marriage is purely business no matter how much I want him to love me...he won't and honestly I envy that bond you and Sam have sometimes. But I am okay with how things are, if it makes Dean happy...I will gladly just be his friend until he finds that one he loves." Gabriel frowned a bit and opened his mouth to say something when Sam cut him off.
"Jeez Gabe thank for waiting." Gabriel shot his brother a pitiful look, who returned his look with a small smile, before turning and smiling widely to Sam.
"Sorry Samantha, I didn't realize you needed me to hold your hand. Besides I had to talk with Cassandra over there." Gabriel pointed at Castiel who frowned and rolled his eyes.
"By the way, where's Deaniella? He was right behind you." Sam punched Gabriel's arm lightly before shrugging and looking around.
"Oh there he is!" Sam pointed and Castiel and Gabriel looked over to see Dean.
"Oh you're right there he is. Is he..." Sam nodded and shot Castiel a pained look before finishing Gabriel's sentence.
"Flirting with that girl? Yeah Gabe...he is..." Gabriel and Sam glared at Dean before Castiel cleared his throat.
"It's fine you guys...really..." Sam looked at Gabriel before standing up and motioning towards their parents who were equally glaring at Dean.
"Cas...if it's alright...why are you crying?" Sam walked over to Castiel and pulled him up from his seat into a hug and wiped his eyes.
"Oh...I guess you're right..." Castiel couldn't stop himself as more tears fell. He looked to the ground and clung tightly to Sam's arms, wrinkling his suit no doubt. Sam sighed and pulled Castiel into a tight hug as Dean turned to see his family glaring at him.
Dean ignored them and flashed a flirtatious smile to the brown haired girl standing next to him. Dean had followed Sam into the dining hall and was going to go sit next to Castiel when he decided he would need a drink if he was going to be able to make it through the rest of the day. Once he had walked to the bar a gorgeous brown hair, green eyed beauty sashayed her way next to him. She leaned over far enough to present her cleavage.
Dean had flushed and looked back to where Gabriel and Sam were glaring at him before he turned and smiled at the girl. He decided he could definitely get better acquainted with the goddess in front of him so he did just that.
"So handsome, weren't you the one who just got married to that blue-eyed beauty?" Dean smiled and took a drink from his beer.
"Yes I am, we have an arrangement though. You see, I didn't want to be married. He's only my best friend and we both agreed that we would only marry for business purposes. Trust me he knew I didn't want to be married and so we struck a deal, the second I fall in love with someone else he'd file for divorce and we could both be happy." Dean took another drink from his beer before someone cleared their throat loudly behind him.
"I'll let you go, see you around sexy. Seems like you have company." He watched as the girl smiled and walked away before turning to face a very pissed of red head, her girlfriend, and two sets of parents.
"Jesus Dean! It hasn't even been a day of being married and you're already picking up some skank at a wedding? Your wedding no less!" Dean rolled his eyes and sighed as the red head went on to call him every name she could think of. He looked back at the disappointed faces of his parents and Castiel's parents.
"Hey! Pay attention!" Charlie grabbed Dean by his chin and forced him to look back down at her.
"What? You act like you all don't know the deal Castiel and I made! He said as long as I was happy he would be too!" Dean huffed and tried to slap away Charlies hand but the red head was surprisingly strong when she was pissed.
"Then answer me this, does he look happy to you right now?!" Dean looked at his parents who walked away and Castiels parents who merely shook their heads disappointed before following John and Mary. Finally Dean looked to where Charlie was pointing and felt himself flood with guilt.
Sam and Gabriel were both glaring at him as Sam was holding Castiel tightly. Charlie finally let go of him and he tried to tear his eyes away from the sight in front of him but found it useless.
"Does he look at all happy to you Dean? It's your guys' wedding and this is how you treat him during it?" Dean finally tore his eyes away and looked down at Charlie.
"He said he would be happy..." He mentally kicked himself for saying that and apparently Charlie noticed that too and sighed.
"Maybe one day he will be happy for you if you fall in love with someone else...but I don't think anyone thought you would try to do it so soon...especially not Castiel..." Dean bit his lip and looked at Charlie with pleading eyes.
"Help me cheer him up?" Charlie pondered for a minute before nodding and pushing him towards Castiel's direction.
"Go talk to him and I'll start playing the music so you, Castiel, Sam, and Gabriel can have your first dance." Dean nodded and slowly made his way towards the three boys hidden behind the huge cake so that they weren't seen by other guests.
Sam and Gabriel shared a look before Sam slowly leaned down to whisper something to Castiel. Dean watched curiously as he approached and Castiel tensed. Dean mentally prepared himself before walking up to them and placing a gentle hand on Castiels back and rubbing it lightly in gentle slow circles until Cas finally relaxed. Castiel smiled up a small thank you smile to Sam and slowly let go of the warming protection of his arms. He then smiled to Gabriel and nodded lightly giving them their cue to smile and walk back to the table.
Castiel slowly reached up and wiped his eyes completely aware of Dean standing way too close to him and still rubbing his back. He took a deep shaky breath and saw his parents give him a small smile before he turned around and looked at the floor in front of Dean. He felt Dean move slightly so that his hands were now on Castiels arms and rubbing them gently.
"Hey Cas..." Dean's voice sounded softer than ever and Cas felt his heart skip a beat.
"Hello Dean." Dean winced at how broken Castiel sounded. He quickly looked over to where Sam and Gabriel were motioning to give him a hug.
"Cas...hey, look at me will you?" Castiel shook his head and Dean winced at his remark.
"Why? So I can see you flirting with another girl at our wedding?" Dean bit his lip and pulled Castiel into a tight hug and didn't let go even when Cas tried to pull away.
"Cas I'm sorry, you're right. I shouldn't have done it so soon. Especially on our wedding day...I'm sorry... will you forgive me?" Dean proceeded to tell Castiel what happened at the bar and somehow it relaxed Castiel enough that Dean found himself pulling Cas as close and tightly as he could. Cas buried his face in Dean's neck and hugged Dean back just as tightly.
"Just...don't do it again for awhile please? I'm still kicking myself for making that deal with you, at least let me get used to it." Dean could hear the smile in his husbands voice and chuckled softly just as Cas slowly pulled away. He had to admit he wasn't ready to pull away from Castiel but settled for holding Cas' hand as they walked back to the table to join Sam and Gabriel.
Sam smiled softly at the pair as they sat down before looking over at Gabe. Gabe was currently playing with his food and rolling his eyes.
"Samwich, what the hell kind of food is this? I feel like their trying to starve us. I want a burger, milkshake, and my candy!" Sam chuckled and reached over squeezing his best friends hand.
"We'll get some real food when we get out of here, for now just make due with what you have." Gabriel groaned and nodded. Sam smiled, he didn't think anything he was doing was anything different from what he usually did. Charlie had rushed up to him earlier just to let him know that he was really playing the part of being in love with Gabriel perfectly. But he didn't see it that way. Sam saw it as being friendly to his best friend. He completely refused to believe what Charlie, his parents, Gabriel's parents, and Jess had said about him being in love with Gabriel. He only kept doing what he was doing because it was what he was used to.
He was used to squeezing Gabe's hand in comfort, he was used to pulling Gabriel close to wipe something off his face, and he was used to running his fingers along Gabriel's cheek and through his hair. But still Sam refused to see those things as anything more than just being Gabriel's best friend.
Gabriel had nodded at Sam's suggestion to just be friends and he knew his Samsquatch didn't want to acknowledged his feelings towards Gabe. Gabriel had felt such a rush during their kiss that he hoped Sammy would do it again. He thought that was what Sam was going to do in the restroom but to his disappointment Sam only cleaned his face. Gabriel watched Sam eat his rabbit food and smiled. He enjoyed being by Sam, he enjoyed their friendship, he even enjoyed that they were now married. Gabriel found himself staring at his ring for the hundredth time since it was placed on his hand.
"You know, I'm not sure if you've fallen in love with the ring or the fact that it reminds you of my eyes." Gabriel flushed and looked over to where Sam was smiling cheekily and rolled his eyes.
"Don't act like you haven't been looking at yours too." Sam smirked and shook his head.
"I haven't, there's no reason for me to." Gabriel's face fell at Sam's remark and he had to remind himself that Sam loved him he was just to stubborn to believe it. Before he could open his mouth to reply a voice cut him off.
"Testing one two...testing..." Gabriel looked confused at the other three boys who merely shrugged as confused as him. Gabriel turned and saw Charlie standing with her girlfriend smiling widely.
"Okay it's working, anyways what's up bitches!" Gabriel heard many people groan and others chuckle as Charlie was scolded by Dorothy. "Yeah yeah pardon my language, anyways...I personally think it's time the happy couple's drag their asses down here for their first dance. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen I give you Samuel and Gabriel Winchester-Novak and Dean and Castiel Novak-Winchester!"
The boys blushed immensely as music started playing. Sam and Gabriel were the first to stand up as everyone cheered and parted so the couples could make their way to the dance floor. Dean stood up and offered his hand to Castiel and followed closely behind their brothers. Dean glanced at Charlie and rolled his eyes before watching Sam and Gabriel already dancing. Gabriel had his hand in Sam's and on his shoulder while Sam had his on Gabriel's waist and held Gabriel's hand.
Dean smiled as Sam winked at him and stopped walking, he lifted his hand and let Castiel walk around to face him before pulling him close and moving to the beat of the song. Castiel smiled and placed his hand on Dean's shoulder and followed his lead.
"That's one heck of a first song choice." Dean smiled at Cas and nodded.
"But somehow it reminds me of something you would think." Cas flushed and smiled up at Dean as he slowly followed Dean raise his hand and turned under it before walking back into Dean's arms.
"You know...this is your ringtone on my phone...It's my favorite song." Dean smiled at Cas and raised an eyebrow.
"Will you sing it?" Castiel blushed at Dean's request and looked over to see Gabriel singing the song to Sam and smiled before nodding. Castiel was so nervous that he whispered the first few words, but a coax and squeeze on his waist made him sing louder.
"A drop in the ocean. A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven" Dean smiled widely and dropped his hand placing both of them on Castiel's waist.
"I don't wanna waste the weekend As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you keep warm And still I can't let you be It's just a drop in the ocean
If you don't love me pretend
A few more hours then it's time to go
It's too late to cry
Too broken to move on
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven"
"Misplaced trust in old friends And New England as the leaves change
Never counting regrets
By the grace of God I do not rest at all
The last excuse that I'll claim
I was a boy who loved a man like a little boy"
"And still I can't let you be It's just a drop in the ocean Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me"
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my...
No, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away
No, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Oh, oh"
"It's just a drop in the ocean
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
You are my heaven"
As soon as Castiel finished singing Dean captured his mouth with his own lips and smiled when Cas was too surprised to kiss back. When Cas finally did the room erupted with applause. Cas pulled away and buried his head in Dean's neck, Dean smiled and hugged him tightly.
"Your voice is amazing Cas...I didn't know you could sing like that." Dean smiled as Castiel blushed more and pulled away just far enough to look up at Dean.
"Why'd you kiss me?" Dean blushed and looked away.
"I don't know honestly...I just felt like it and so I did...was I not supposed to kiss my husband?" Castiel smiled widely at Dean and hugged him tightly. Dean felt guilty for saying what he did...he just wanted to see Cas happy and not crying like earlier, so he said what he did.
Castiel was brimming with happiness as he looked up and kissed his husbands cheek, he knew Dean only kissed him to make him feel better and it hurt that he did, but he didn't want to think of it like that so he pushed it away. He wrapped his arms tightly around the man in front of him and he felt lips press softly against his temple.
"That was just the sweetest thing ever! Okay now Sam and Gabriel need to have their moment! So anyone besides those four, there's no easy way to put it but...get off the dance floor." Everyone chuckled and stood at the sides again watching the boys get ready for the next dance.
Gabriel smiled up at Sam. "Ready Samantha?"
Sam chuckled and nodded, "Ready Gabriela"
