Dean arrived that evening coming straight from work. He wanted to see Cas again, they had had such a perfect evening the previous night, he wanted to make sure he wasn't the only one who had felt it. But considering Cas opened the door before he could even knock, he guessed he hadn't.

"Hey Cas." he said with a smile before raising his hand to Cas' cheek so he could tilt his head up and their lips could meet, just as he used to do when the old Cas greeted him at the door when he came home from work. There was no way he couldn't have done it. It was automatic, and in his mind the only way to greet the gorgeous man in front of him.

"Hello Dean." Castiel replied with a smile once there lips parted. He loved that Dean kissed him in greeting without any awkwardness or hesitation. It was perfect in his mind and it made a warm feel wrap around his heart.

"So I brought us steaks for dinner." Dean continued closing the door behind him and holding up the bag which contained the meat.

"I hope you have brought one for Gabriel too." Castiel replied with a smile at Dean's thoughtfulness at bringing dinner for them to share, he loved cooking with Dean, it felt so… right.

"Of course I brought one for Gabriel too." Dean responded with a chuckle. Did Cas think he would forget his brother-in-law was living there at present? Living there instead of him, but no, that was a matter for another day. Cas wasn't ready for that, and in truth, neither was he. Not living with Cas 2.0.

"Glad to hear that Dean-o, would hate to have to kick you out of the house." Came a voice from the livingroom. It seemed Gabriel had been eavesdropping on the conversation, wanting to make sure that Cassie and Dean were on the right track to get back together.

"Behave Gabriel or I'll over cook your dinner." Castiel said smiling sweetly at his brother as he and Dean entered the livingroom.

"You wouldn't dare Cassie." Gabriel responded with a smirk up at his little brother bating him to just try. He loved having these sort of conversations with Castiel, though whether the other man enjoyed them as much as him he had no idea. Not that it mattered, he was his older brother, and it was his job to wind him up.

"Just try me." Castiel replied sweetly, but now there was a predatory look in his eye which made Gabriel chuckle.

"Okay, Cas why don't you and I go and cook dinner while we leave Gabriel here to do… whatever it he was doing." Dean intervened. He knew how this would go if he didn't, and as much as he enjoyed watching Cas and Gabe exchange barbed comments, he was kinda hungry, and he wanted Cas to himself, for a little while at least.

"I'm liking this being waited on thing." Gabriel said smugly as he settled comfortably in his armchair and started channel surfing to see if he could find anything of interest on the TV.

"Don't go getting used to it Gabe. It won't last forever." Dean responded jokingly over his shoulder as he guided Castiel to the kitchen door, and when Gabriel and Dean's eyes met the both realised the serious aspect to that sentence. That one day, hopefully, Dean would be back in this house, back with Castiel, and Gabriel could return to his apartment and his own life. And they knew that that was what they both wanted more than anything, for things to return to how they used to be. Or as close as they could get now.

In the kitchen Castiel and Dean moved around grabbing the things they needed to cook dinner, sharing smiles as the past each other, and Dean even venturing to dropping kisses on the back of Cas' neck when he needed to reach across him to grab something. It was a happy scene of domestically, of a couple working together.

It didn't take them long before they had everything ready and called Gabriel to join them at the table. From there proceeded a happy family meal with the three of them discussing how they had spent there day. Castiel even told his brother and Dean of how he had gone to his special place on the hillside for the first time, though he refrained from mentioning the thoughts he had had while he was there. He would not let his unremembered past interfere with the present. He had done that enough.

Soon the food had been consumed, and it was time to clean up and start the next part of the evening.

"I'll sort the dishes and stuff, you guys go and relax." Gabriel said when Dean moved to start clearing the table. After all his brother and brother-in-law had cooked for him, it was the least he could do. Plus he wanted to spy on them when they were together alone, make sure that the happiness he was seeing was real.

"You sure?" Dean asked even though Castiel was already standing and reaching for his hand to pull him into the livingroom. It wasn't like Gabriel was going to have to do the washing up or anything, just load the dishwasher.

"Yeah Dean-o, I'm sure. Now shoo." Gabriel replied making motions with his hands to get rid of them. He waited a beat after they had left and then went to the door and opened it a crack so he could watch how the two behaved when he wasn't with them.

Castiel pulled Dean with him into the living room and turned him so he could give him a proper kiss, not like the short one they had shared upon Dean's arrival. No this was a 'I missed you today' kiss. A first blush of the relationship kiss. And Dean was more than happy to return it with equal measure.

Once they parted Castiel grabbed the remote from where Gabriel had left it and pulled Dean down to sit beside him. Once he was there Castiel pulled his legs up behind him and smuggled into Dean's side causing the other man to wrap his arm around him and pull him even closer. Yes, this was how Castiel wanted to spend his evening, cuddled up to Dean, close and comfortable as they did such mundane things as watch TV.

Dean was in complete agreement. This was his idea of heaven, having Cas back where he belonged, next to him and in his arms.

And Gabriel watching from the door smiled gently at what he saw before turning back to the dishes on the table. Yes, Dean and Cassie were well on their way to getting back together. Good. Seeing them like they were he felt a weight lift him his shoulders. They were definitely moving away from the dark and into the light, and he couldn't be happier, for any of them.
