We sat there for about twenty minutes before Sam pick us back up. But in those twenty minutes I was introduced to a whole new side of Dean, he talked about food and what his favorites were.

"Cas you have no idea man! There are just so many good things out there I just don't know what to introduce you to first." He looked at me and his eyes were as though he was a child beaming with excitement to show you something they discovered.

"There is this one place in Georgia that has the best ribs I've ever had the next time we have a job out in the area I wouldn't mind driving a few hours away to get them, they're that good." He could hardly contain himself as he spoke about different kinds of meat and what was the best in his opinion. Then a sudden realization came to his face and he grabbed my hand firmly in his.

"Cas! You don't want just any ole burger as your first burger; I can make you a burger better than any dinner here."

"Since when do you cook Dean?" My question was valid because in the years that I'd known dean I never saw him cook.

"I don't cook for just anyone Cas…" I knew Dean had been romantically involved with women before me and it never bothered me before until now.

"So you've only cooked for the people you were in a relationship with?" I tried to disguise my hurt but he saw right through it and put his arm around me and pulled me close.

"Cas, I only cook for people I love, why do you think I asked you if I could make you your first burger. But I mean if you want to get just any burger than I understand." Dean was feigning rejection, I jabbed him in his ribs with my elbow and he just laughed. That's when Sam pulled up in the Impala; he got out and gave the driver's seat over to Dean. He climbed into the front seat and I took my usual seat in the back. I noticed that Sam looked stressed.

"How did everything go with that woman Sam?" I asked since he hadn't had time to unwind from the job like Dean and I.

"Went fairly smoothly, she woke on the way back into town and I asked her who she was, her name is Leah Robinson. She asked who I was and I told her that I was out shooting and saw her wandering in the woods, and this she seemed incoherent and kept mentioning a Tyler. She looked scared like she was remembering the attack but she just started crying, she told me about her nephew and how they were close, that she couldn't have kids and that she always loved spending time with Tyler since she couldn't have children of her own."

"Wow… Sammy that's just… horrible." Dean was lost for words as he usually was when he spoke about anything that regarded emotions.

"The thing is, I was so happy when she talked about that about Tyler, that she didn't remember having to see and hear the ghoul disguising itself as her nephew Tyler. And that's all thanks to you Cas, sometimes it's better to just forget the horror side of things then move on with your life. I guess what I'm trying to say is good thinking in wiping her memory of the attack." I was lost for words for a moment because I was so happy that not only had I handled the situation with Dean well about my solo mission buy also made a good decision to impress Sam.

"Thank you Sam that means a lot coming from you."

"Job well done Cas." Dean gave me a look in the review mirror and I could tell that by the way the corner of his eyes were wrinkled, that he was smiling.

"So did you two decide what's for dinner?" Sam looked to his brother and then to me.

"Dean said he was going to cook me the best hamburger, would you like to join us?"

"Dean cook? Ha. Yeah I'll join you two, I gotta see this." Dean looked at Sam with a seriously look on his face before saying anything.

"Bitch." Dean looked serious but then he burst out laughing and Sam followed suit.

We stopped at a grocery store on the way back to the hotel to pick up the things necessary for Dean to make dinner. When we walked into the store Sam immediately went to the produce section.

"We're running low on some apples, I'm going to see if they have an organic section." He told us as he walked away.

"Get tomatoes, onions and lettuce Sammy would you." Dean called after him and Sam waved his hand back at us telling us he heard Dean's request.

"Alright Cas lets go get the rest of the stuff." Dean looked excited to be getting the things to be cooking, which was surprising cause Dean I never pegged him as liking to go shopping.

We made our way down an aisle that had a lot of different colored bottles.

"Here Cas you take the cart and push so I can get the stuff we need." Dean walked away from the cart and started looking closer at the small bottles, he picked a yellow bottle and a red one and put them in the cart.

"What are those?"

"Oh this is going to be fun, explaining everything to you." Dean looked at me and then closed the distance of a few feet and moved the cart out of the way and gave me a small kiss.

"They're mustard and ketchup, were going to put them on our burgers." Dean didn't seem annoyed or anything that he had to explain simple things like that, he actually seemed to enjoy himself when I asked what something was. Next we made our way to a very cold area of the store and he talked to a man behind the counter who gave him a bag of red meat.

Our trip to the store was short but in that time I had learned exactly what was needed to make Dean's burgers, it seemed like a lot of things we were getting but Dean assured me that it was just the right amount. After we made it back to the hotel Sam excused himself to go take a shower in his room while Dean began preparing dinner. I sat at the small table watching Dean move about in the kitchen putting things away and chopping too. I couldn't help but smile as he hummed to himself, he looked happy. I never knew that cooking was a way that Dean relaxed and just enjoyed himself, I was very happy to see him like this.

I stood from my seat and walked over to dean who was now forming patties with the red meat and leaned against the counter next to where he was working.

"I like watching you cook." Dean just laughed at what I said.

"Ha-ha, why is that Cas?" He was very serious about his cooking and didn't take his eyes from his work as he spoke to me.

"It seems to make you happy."

"I guess it does…but you make me happy too." He continued to form the patties and didn't look up at me.

"Thank you Dean."

"Ha-ha, what for Cas?"

"For showing me what it means to be happy, without you I'd never know what it was to be truly happy."

"Cas… I ought to be thanking you. I mean you pulled me from Hell man, you saved my soul. Without you I wouldn't be here to be happy."

"I think it is safe to say that we make each other happier." I felt my eyes wrinkle as I looked over at the man who had taught me so much. I moved behind him wrapping my arms around him and nuzzling into his neck, he smelled amazing like always.

"Haha, that tickles." He let out laugh and I gave him a kiss on his neck.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked while my hands moved across his chest feeling his warmth and also his heartbeat quicken.

"Um, how about you just watch, it's your first meal. You can help me with the next dinner."

"Is going to be a routine? You cooking dinner for us?" Another laugh escaped his lips and I felt his body move with it.

"Anytime you want me to." He leaned into my arms and turned his head and we kissed, I can't tell you how long the kiss lasted all I know is that it wasn't long enough cause we heard a knock at the door that let us know Sam was ready for dinner.

I gave dean one last squeeze and another kiss on his neck and walked over to the door to let Sam in. He walked in and strode over to the small table, he put down a small ice chest.

"Where's the food man, I'm starving." Sam opened the chest and pulled out three beers, he opened them and then walked over to me and handed me the bottle.

"You deserve it man." I grabbed the bottle from him as he smiled.

"Thank you." I said quietly a little embarrassed. He walked over to Dean and placed the open bottle next to him on the counter.

"So how much longer?" Sam said as he started poking around the kitchen see what needed to be done.

"Um not much longer, I just need to cook the patties now." Dean said as he made his way over to the sink to wash his hands. He made his way back to the counter to pick up his beer and the plate of patties he just made and walked over to the stove. He turned the stove on and placed a large pan over the flame, he turned and leaned against the counter and took a drink from his beer. His eyes looked over at me holding my own beer, I took a drink and he just smiled at the face I made.

"I can come back… if you guys are going to just play your weird staring contest game." Sam laughed as he spoke, but I felt a little embarrassed and turned away as I took another drink of my beer. The taste wasn't so bad the second time around.

"Alright Sammy, can it." Dean said jokingly as he turned his attention to cooking the patties in the now hot pan. Sam went over to the table and started to clean it up from the papers from the job. I walked over to the kitchen to watch Dean as he cooked, he started humming again and I couldn't help but smile. He turned his head slightly to face me and gave me a sly grin and a wink which made my cheeks flush red, thankfully this went unnoticed to Sam who was now done cleaning up and on his laptop.

"Cas you want to get three plates?" Dean asked and I happily obliged because I loved watching him cook.

"Sam how do you want yours cooked?"

"Medium is fine." He said not looking up from his computer screen.

"How about you Cas? "

"Um, I'll just have it how you take yours."

"Okay, well they're about done why don't you have a seat next to Sam and I will bring them over in a minute."

"Okay." I walked over to the table with my beer and sat down. Sam was looking at some news articles and looked up at me when I sat down.

"I figured we could leave tomorrow by noon if we find a case, but it seems a little slow right now." Sam was looking at his computer and he looked at me again and smiled.

"Hey Dean, I'm looking for a job but it doesn't look like there is anything for us. You want to leave tomorrow and just drive or spend a few more days here till we find something?" Dean looked like he was thinking of what we should do.

"Hmm." He was all that came from him as he began to plat our dinner, walked over with two plates and set them in front of us. The smell that was coming from the hamburger on the plate was intoxicating, it took a lot of will power to not scoop it up and eat it immediately. Sam didn't seem to have the same will power because he closed his laptop and looked at his burger in disbelief as he lifted it to his nose to take another whiff before he took a big bite.

"Dean this is amazing!" Sam said with food in his mouth. Dean sat down next to me and smiled; he looked at me and then saw that I hadn't started eating.

"Is something the matter Cas?" Dean leaned in to get a better look at my face.

"No Dean, it smells great."

"They why aren't you eating?" he sounded a little worried and when he heard my reasoning, I saw the redness in his cheeks.

"I was waiting for you to come sit with me."

"Thanks Cas, that's sweet." He scooted his chair closer to mine that our knees were touching.

I looked down at my plate and picked up the hamburger, when I lifted it to my mouth the smell hit me again and I was once again amazed that Dean had made this, and he had made this for me. I took a bite and was even more in love with Dean, I swallowed my bite and then said.

"Dean… this is really good! I can understand why Sam is already done, and I couldn't have asked for a better first meal or for better company." I smiled at Dean as I lifted my burger again, he looked at me and smiled and then began to dig in as well, his cheeks still tinted red.

"Sam there is more in the kitchen if you want a second." Dean said looking at his brother.

"I really shouldn't…I just won't eat the bun, I'll wrap it in lettuce." Dean laughed at his brother, and I couldn't help but feel home in the small hotel room. I looked over at Dean who was still smiling over his well cooked meal and I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you Dean, it's delicious really."

"Anytime Cas." Was all he said, his eyes wrinkled with his smile

"Anytime Cas." Was all he said, his eyes wrinkled with his smile, as he took a drink from his beer.
