Dean woke up feeling happier than he could have ever imagined. He slept better than he had in years, maybe better than he had in his whole life. He debated on letting the gorgeous man beside him sleep in. But the last thing he would have wanted was to wake up alone, he didn't want to do that to Cas either. He pressed a kiss to the other mans lips and breathed it in.

"Cas, I have to get up but you can stay in bed if you want." Dean said softly against the other man's mouth.

"Mm, I'm okay I'll get up." He said, eyes still completely closed.

"It's fine if you want to sleep, I just didn't want you to wake up to an empty bed and not know what was going on, I have to go down and open the diner." He responded.

"Mm, okay I'll be down in a minute." He smiled as he leaned in to push against Dean's mouth.

He wrapped his arms around Dean's neck and his body naturally arched toward up to him.

Dean growled.

"Cas I'll never leave if you don't stop." He said only partially teasing.

"Maybe that was my goal Winchester." Castiel smirked back at him.

"You are gonna be the death of me. Do you want me to bring breakfast to you or do you want to come down and get it?" Dean asked.

"I really will be down in a minute, I just want to lay here a little longer. I feel like it's going to get complicated when I get out of bed." He chuckled.

"Sure thing angel, I'll see ya downstairs in a few minutes then." Dean said only allowing himself one peck on the cheek before leaving. He knew if he kissed Castiel's mouth again he'd never be able to walk away from it.

Dean walked down the hall and did a double take as he remembered Adam.

"Adam, time to get up. I overslept a little." He said sheepishly. He opened the door to find the bed made and his brother nowhere in sight.

He picked his phone up from the coffee table.

Who was that guy? -Jo

Staying at Bobby's for the rest of the night.-Adam

Oh and, I took money from your wallet for some headphones. Asshat!-Adam

Bout Damn time ya idjit-Bobby

Congrats! I'm happy for you Dean. But please don't hurt him. I may have suggested he talk to you, but I'd never forgive myself if either of you ended up hurt.-Sam

Just hope you know what you're doing.-Sam

I knew it would work out!-Jessica

Apparently Dean was a popular guy last night.

He walked downstairs, started the coffee maker, turned the grill on and turned the closed sign around. He made himself and Cas breakfast. He was about to take it upstairs when his phone beeped.

I was right.-Cas

Huh?-D

It's much more complicated now that I'm out of bed. I've realized my decision to bring your clothes back last night wasn't incredibly thought out. Now I have nothing to wear.-Cas

Dean couldn't help but laugh.

Just find something that won't fall off your tiny body and put it on. Breakfast is done-D

Less than a minute later people started filing in. Jo came in before school even though she wasn't working, apparently Adam and Bobby were joining her. Gabriel and Michael only a few seconds behind them.

Dean's face heated unsure of what to say or do.

I don't think it's getting better any time soon. Everyone is down here staring at me-D

He put his phone down and poured everyone some coffee.

Gabriel moved behind the counter and pushed his deserts in the display case, before returning back to the other side.

Everything was quiet.

Castiel stepped through the door and that's when it started.

Whoops, Hollers, Screams, Wolf Whistles, Everything you could name that was a racket and completely embarrassing.

Everyone in the place was smiling from ear to ear. Dean pulled Castiel tight against him and let him blush into his neck.

"Okay okay, we get it. What do you guys want?" Dean asked.

He pointed Cas to a plate of sausage and pancakes before taking celebratory breakfast orders.

Sammy! Thanks for the advice, I'm not sure what's happening right now, but I know it might not be if it weren't for you. So thanks man.-D

Dean couldn't help but smile. He looked around the room and his eyes landed on Adam, he looked a teenage boy who wished he hadn't heard his brother having sex the previous night. If Adam was younger, or him bringing people home was a regular thing, he might have felt badly. But, Dean couldn't bring himself to regret a single second of last night.

The bell on the door dinged as the first shift started. Ellen came in and took over the grill, Benny was washing the dishes and running the counter, and Charlie was the waitress for the day. Sometimes Benny and Charlie would switch jobs but it didn't matter to Dean as long as the customers didn't bring legitimate complaints.

Finally the mass of supporters had to get back to their own lives. Which meant Dean and Cas finally got a moment to themselves.

"Do you want to go somewhere?" Dean asked trying to keep a safe distance just in case.

"Yeah I'm gonna go home for a few minutes but I'd like to have dinner with you tonight if that's okay?" Castiel responded.

Dean couldn't help but be disappointed, he wanted Cas to stay and talk but he understood.

"Cas I'd love to but I'm going to be running the grill tonight, Ellen already covered for me yesterday I can't ask her to do it again. Maybe a late lunch or early dinner? She's leaving at 6 so I'm free till then."

"Lunch it is, I'll be back soon and I can get one of these famous Winchester Burgers I keep hearing about. Then maybe we can talk for a little while before your shift starts?" He looks up at Dean hopefully.

"Yes! That's great I'll see you later." Dean stood nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

Castiel smiled as he walked over and pulled him in for a kiss. Dean relaxed immediately. He didn't know what was going on with them and didn't want to push it. He wanted Cas to feel like he got to set the rules or whatever.

Dean was pretty sure he would have been happy to stop breathing if it had meant not ending their kiss. He would have died a happy man. However Castiel pulled away so they both lived on.

Castiel saw the disappointment on Dean's face when he left. He hated that look but he needed to get out of there. He'd had an idea and a plan was forming. He couldn't figure things out with Dean looking over his shoulder.

First things first, he needed a shower. He went home still wearing the newly borrowed clothes of Dean's. It was intoxicating, smelling Dean on himself. That's the moment he thinks maybe he's got a problem. He chuckles to himself at the thought of a support group for people who were turned on by smells. He outright laughed when he thought that if there was such a thing Gabriel would know about it.

He slid the clothes off his lean body and stepped in the shower. He stood under the pulsating water for a few minutes and just relaxed. He would have been disappointed that his body wash smelled too much like himself, if he hadn't planned on making good efforts at smelling like Dean again very soon.

So many times over the last few years his mind would naturally picture Dean when he'd touched himself. Sometimes he hated it, wished he could just gouge his brain of the memory. Sometimes he'd even stopped masturbating because he couldn't stand the thoughts of getting off to the only man to ever break his heart. Sometimes he just let it go because he'd convinced himself it was okay to have a fantasy. It was scary how nobody else ever seemed to do it for him though. Even he knew that wasn't normal. Most people were attracted to more than one person. Most people were attracted to multiple people. While Castiel wasn't ignorant he could acknowledge that someone was attractive, gorgeous, or even sexy. He just didn't have sexual thoughts about them the way he had about Dean. He didn't just daydream about what their bodies would look like naked, or how they'd feel inside him.

Quickly his dick was growing rock hard with the memories of last night. Now he didn't have to imagine what Dean looked like naked, how he'd taste, or how he sounded when he came. He had finally experienced all those things and it was enough to push him over the edge almost untouched. A few quick strokes and that was it, his hot cum squirting out. It was probably best he got off in advance. Hopefully, he would need stamina later.

Does Dean have a preference of desert?-Cas

PIE! Oh and Congrats?-Sam

Any particular flavor? And yeah thanks! –Cas

Every flavor? Seriously he's not picky. He usually picks apple when given that choice though so it might be his favorite. –Sam

Thanks Sam! I'll have to do something really good for you one day. I'll never be able to repay you but I'd like to try.-Cas

Just make sure to keep him happy and that's enough payment for me-Sam

Okay, I just realized how that sounded. THAT is not what I meant I don't want to know anything about THAT! But you know ... normal happy ... not sex happy.. just nevermind-Sam

No problem Sam I understood. I'll try to keep our sex life to myself :)-Cas

You home?-Cas

Yeah kitchen-Gabriel

Castiel smiled as he bounced down the stairs. "This must be what happy feels like." He thinks to himself. It's been such a long time since he's truly felt the emotion he wasn't sure.

"I need something." Castiel said as he watched his brother frost cupcakes.

"I thought Dean-o gave it to you last night." Gabriel teased wiggling his eyebrows like a child.

"I'm serious Gabriel, I need your help. I would like to make a pie and I don't know how to." He said looking slightly worried.

Gabriel went into a fit of laughter.

"Wow, that was quick. You already know about his thing with pie? Took me weeks to figure that out." Gabriel said still laughing.

"What do you mean his thing with pie? Sam just said his favorite was apple pie." Castiel said looking adorably confused.

"I'll make the pie for you if you'd like." Gabriel said.

"No I want to do it myself. It doesn't mean as much if I don't make it myself." Castiel replied.

"Okay, but it's not easy bro. I'll help you but I'm not promising it will be my level of perfection he's used to." Gabe chuckled.

Nearly two hours later they'd finally finished what looked like an acceptable example of Apple Pie. He put it in a plain pastry box hoping to disguise it. He went upstairs to change. It was almost time to get back to Dean if he wanted to keep his promise, and have an actual conversation before Dean started working.

Would 1:00 be okay?- Cas

Yeah sounds good-D

Just one more thing to do and he'd be ready.

He navigated through the city with ease as he pulled into the parking lot. He walked into the store grabbed a couple things quickly and walked back out in a hurry.

He smiled when he got back to the car. He opened the boxes and tucked the items away in his pockets.

He pulled into the diner with five minutes to spare. He decided to use that time to give himself a nice pep talk.

Dean was waiting downstairs for him when he walked in.

Castiel looked even more gorgeous when he walked in that afternoon. His hair spiked up haphazardly, an extremely tight fitting green tee, and denim clinging to his long legs. Dean was struggling to find air. He swallowed hard.

He pulled him in for a tight hug and Cas leaned up for a kiss on the cheek.

Dean took his hand and led him to the booth in the back. He asked Charlie to grab the plates he left in the back.

"What's in the box?" Dean asked licking his lips.

"Well it's not my dick so you can stop drooling over it." Castiel said laughing.

Dean turned a little red but laughed louder than he had in a while.

"Seriously though what is that?" Dean said pointing to the box.

"It's a surprise for later." Cas replied with a wink.

Charlie sat the plates down in front of them and started to speak. Dean cut her off before she could ask any questions though. He knew where she'd go with it and he didn't want to have that particular conversation right now. Surprisingly she let it go quicker than he thought she would.

"So this is the famous Winchester Burger?" Castiel asked looking gleeful at the food on his plate.

"Sure is, I made it myself and everything. Ellen is just as good as me but I wanted to be the one who cooked it for you." He said smiling.

"Well here goes." He said before biting into it.

Castiel's eyes automatically closed.

"MMMMMM OH MY GOD DEAN!" He said.

So of course Dean was staring. His mouth went dry and his jeans were getting uncomfortably tight.

"Jesus Cas, you can't just say things like that. I'm trying to keep my hands to myself here man." Dean teased.

Castiel seemed to look genuinely embarrassed.

"I'm sorry Dean, It wasn't intentional. This is just a really good burger. Gabriel was right, yours are even better than the ones they had before." He said.

Dean smiled. He knew he was a decent cook, he was picky enough to know that he knew a good burger when he tasted one. His was a good burger, but hearing Cas say it was better than the last one he'd had just lit his face up like a Christmas Tree.

Dean could tell Cas was trying to keep himself from making noises when he ate. He could also see it was quite difficult for him, which was just one more reason Dean had to love him.

They finished their meal, casually talking and laughing. Castiel carried the pastry box up the stairs behind Dean.

Castiel sat the box down on the coffee table, he could tell Dean was curious so he let him open it.

"Oh my God it's pie." Dean's eyes went wide and a huge smile graced his face.

"Apple Pie, I made it myself so it might not be as good as Gabriel's. He gave really good instructions though, so it shouldn't be a complete disaster." Castiel smiled bashfully.

"Let me get some plates and we'll try it." Dean said.

He cut the pie as quickly as he could and plated two slices. He placed one down in front of Cas and wasted no time digging into his own..

This time he was the one making obscene noises with his mouth. He couldn't help himself the sweet filling tingling his taste buds.

"So it's okay then?" Castiel asked smiling. There was little doubt about whether Dean liked the pie.

"I think I'm in love." He muttered as he pushed another bit of pie past his lips.

Cas couldn't help but laugh at him. He was so adorable. He finally took a bite himself and was delightfully surprised. He really had done a pretty good job.

It wasn't long before both plates were clean and they were sitting beside one another on the couch.

Castiel was first to speak.

"I meant what I said last night Dean." He said.

"I did too Cas, I know it doesn't make everything perfect. I also know it doesn't erase the last four years, but I did mean every word of it." Dean replied.

"Is it not crazy to you that we've technically spent part of 5 days together? One of which was literally us breaking up before we were even in a relationship. It scares me sometimes. I feel like it's not real, like we've made it bigger or better than it really was." Castiel said painfully.

"Of course it is Cas, I'm not stupid. I understand that people don't typically fall in love on their first date. I also know that it's not normal to not have a hope of being with the one you want while still having no desire to find anyone else. I'm aware that none of this is logical, practical, or realistic. I just know that it is what it is, and I'm not going to complain. I love you, I think I loved you the moment I saw you walking out of that airport with Sam. I fell in love with you when I saw how blue your eyes were across the table at the diner that first night. I fell deeper when you kissed me back in Bobby's garage. I fell even harder when we talked and laughed and felt so comfortable on our first date. None of this was planned, I didn't plan on ever seeing you again, I never thought I'd be that lucky. I can't be bothered to question it now. If that's what you need to do I understand, but I've never been so happy and if it all fell to pieces tomorrow I wouldn't regret this. You make me happy and I love you and I'm going to keep you for as long as you'll let me." Dean sighed, he was shocked he'd spent so much time talking. It wasn't really his thing, but he could see the look of panic and worry in Castiel's blue eyes and he couldn't stand it.

"I love you too Dean, I don't want to question it. Almost every decision I've ever made has been planned, re-planned, and extremely logical. The only time I seem to lose my head is when you're involved, sometimes I think that's why you're the only one for me. " He replied.
