Hello my lovelies. I would like to thank linusfan13 and IsabellaFaye11 for the wonderful reviews. I would also like to thank those of you who have followed and favoured since my last update.

So this taking so long, I had to be in the mood to write it as I didn't want to give you a filler chapter. Anyway here you are, I hope you like it.

Dean pulled the impala up outside of Castie'sl house, but before he could get out and knock, the man in question emerged with a smile on his face directed purely at the driver of the car, and completely ignoring his passenger until he was settled in the back seat.

"Hello Dean, Sam." Castiel said as he sat down. He was looking forward to his afternoon spent with the Winchester brothers and Dr Moore. He couldn't wait to see more of how Dean and Sam interacted with each other. And as for Jess, He didn't really know her that well, but hopefully this afternoon would remedy that. After all what he did know was all good, she seemed a lovely woman.

"Hey Cas." Dean replied and ignoring his brothers huff of indignation as he turned in his seat and leaned over the back so he could pull Castiel towards him and they could share a sweet kiss.

"What Sammy? You telling me you ain't gonna kiss Jess when we get there?" Dean asked when he turned back to the front and caught Sam's raised eyebrow at his brother's show of affection.

"Of course I am Dean. I just didn't realise the two were equivalent." Sam responded with a smirk as he realised what Dean had just said. After all he had told him that he thought he and Jess were serious, so by Dean's own reasoning, him and Cas were serious too. Hmm, looked like Dean might be coming round to his way of thinking when it came to him and Castiel, good. That's was good.

"Shut it, bitch." Dean replied when he realised what his brother was implying, but before Sam could say any more Dean turned on the engine and wacked the music up full blast. Because the thing was, he couldn't deny what Sammy was implying. And that wasn't because Cas was in the back of the car, but because it was starting to be the truth.

"Jerk." Sam muttered under his breath, though at the volume of the music, not that he was sure it could be called that, for a musician Dean had terrible taste, he could have shouted and not be heard. But for once he didn't care too much. Dean was seeing the light with Castiel and he was on the way to introduce the two most important people in his life to each other. Yeah today was gonna be awesome, to steal words from his brother.

With that the three of them drove off in a cloud of dust with AC/DC pounding through the car and Dean singing along as he hammered out the beat on the steering wheel. And Sam, while he may have made the token protest, found a smile on his face. Yeah this was the Dean he loved, and this was the one he missed when they weren't together.

Castiel on the other hand just sat back with a blissful smile on his face. He was going to a family lunch with Dean, as his date. It really was rather surreal. Wonderfully so.


Once they got to Jess' house Sam was out of the car before Dean had even turned off the engine, though whether it was his way of getting away from the loud music or because he really wanted to see Jess could well have been debatable. But as he saw her open the door to greet them he decided it really wasn't. She would win every time. As such without a word he grabbed her and pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply.

Dean who was following Sam with Cas at his side saw his brothers display of affection and shook his head as he grabbed Cas' hand in his own.

"And he says we're bad." He muttered, loud enough to be heard by all four, but only Castiel gave him any response.

"I think it's sweet." Castiel replied with smile for the couple in front of them.

"No its sweet when I'm kissing you, not when I'm watching my brother, imagine if that was Gabriel." Dean replied in a sotto whisper that he knew would be making its way into Sam's ear right about now. Sure he wasn't gonna flirt with Jess, not when he had Cas at his side. But that didn't mean he couldn't wind his brother up, right?

"No thank you." Castiel replied amiably though he gave a theatrical shudder at the idea of watching Gabriel kissing someone, though in truth he had seen it many times before.

"Exactly." Dean nodded glad Cas agreed with him.

"You two quite finished?" Sam finally asked when they went quiet. He had stopped kissing Jess a couple of comments ago and was now giving his brother his most fierce bitchface.

"Have you?" Dean countered with tearing his eyes from the man at his side who he could stare at all day, just to watch the different facial expressions that past across his features.

"For now. Jess, this is Dean, Dean, Jess." Sam replied with a smug grin at Dean, though when he said Jess' name his smug look turned into a genuine smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. And I have to say I can see why Sammy likes you." Dean responded holding out the hand which wasn't attached to Cas' to greet her. Yeah he liked this one, her eyes kept straying to Sam as if he was nothing more than his big brother, someone she wanted to impress, sure, but not someone who truly deserved her full attention. Not when Sam was around. Plus when she did look at his brother she had a loving smile on her face. She just might be good enough for him.

"Well thank you Dean. Come in." Jess replied smiling serenely at Dean. She had known who she was meeting and she was unfazed by his famous status, to her he was just the man she had come to love's older brother, a brother whom she knew was important to her man. As such making him comfortable with her and in her home was her job today, one he was making very easy by being so friendly. And here she was worried with all the warnings Sam had given her about him.

"Do you know Cas?" Dean asked turning to pull him into the conversation. After all Sam and Jess weren't the only couple there who couldn't keep their eyes off of each other.

"I do. Castiel it's good to see you again." Jess replied turning to his companion and taking careful note of the clasped hands. It seemed Dean had good taste in partners, or at least the real ones. Not that she had met his model Lisa, but what she had read made her seem rather career driven, and maybe not care so much about those around her who couldn't help in progression of said career.

"You too Jess, I hope I'm not intruding." Castiel responded politely, handing over the box of chocolates he had brought for his hostess.

"Thank you, you really shouldn't have and of course you're not intruding, any friend of Dean's in welcome here." Jess replied touched by Castiel thoughtfulness at bringing her a gift.

And Dean watching how pleased she seemed smiled even more at the man at his side. It was so like Cas to think of doing something like that. But he was here to meet Jess as such he turned back to her and decided to test her previous comment.

"Really? Cos I have quite a list." He said cheekily smirking at her making Sam roll his eyes, but before he could comment on his brothers behaviour Castiel did it for him.

"You do?" Castiel asked with a raised of an eyebrow and just a touch of censure in his tone. It really was amazing what he inflection he could get on just those two little words and the look he gave Dean which said 'really? You have lots of 'friends'?

"Not like that. Purely platonic friends." Dean rushed to say when he saw Cas' look. He didn't want the guy thinking he had a list of people he jumped into bed with and that he was just another notch on his bedpost. After all when it came to Cas, nothing could be further from the truth.

At hearing his words Castiel could help but smile sweetly as a faint blush coated his cheeks at the fact that Dean had pretty much just said they were very definitely more than just friends. It made him feel that, for the time being at least, they could pretend they had a future together.

"So you are saying you and Cas are not purely platonic friends?" Sam asked in his innocent lawyer tone meant to trip up the person he was questioning into incriminating themselves.

"I…a… Sammy!" Dean spluttered when he realised just what his brother was doing. As such he glared at him, but all he got in response was a gleeful chuckle from his brother and an amused smile from Jess. But when he turned to Cas he saw the emotions shining in his eyes and he couldn't care less what Sam and Jess thought of them. They were together, and they had this time. With that thought he pulled Cas to him once more and kissed just as deeply as Sam had kissed Jess.

"Definitely more than platonic." He murmured into Cas' black hair once the pulled apart making Castiel's smile grow even larger if that was possible.

With that the four of them entered the house to have a lunch of burgers and salad Jess had prepared in the vain hope it would appease everyone. She had also made apple pie for dessert and as a result of one bite, and after he had made obscene noises, Dean declared simply, "marry this girl." To his brother. Damn did she ever make awesome pie.


And so the time went by with the two couples relaxing in each other's company. It soon became evident that the Winchesters felt at ease, they spent the whole time touching, staring and smiling at their respective partners, all of with were returned in equal fever from Castiel and Jess. It was a blissfully happy family afternoon, one that none of them would forget in a very long time. It was an afternoon where unconsciously Dean and Sam extended their family by two more.

Though they had no idea at the time, but they would, eventually.
