Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.
today was the day. It was finally his wedding day. Dean couldn't quite believe it. He was marrying Cas today. He lay there on his old bed in his old apartment above his bar and just looked up at the ceiling. When he had impulsively chosen to buy this bar he had no idea what else it would bring. He only thought was to be closer to Sammy and his family. And now, now he had a family of his own and in a few hours he would be married to the love of his life. In a year and a half his whole life had changed. Gone from being a lonely existence filled with secrets to one filled with laughter and love. And all because he saw a picture in a music shop that called to him.
"Hey Dean. You up?" he heard Sam shout from the other side of his door making him smile. Moving here certainly did achieve its initial objective. Him and Sammy were closer than ever.
"Yeah, yeah. Keep your hair on." Dean shouted back and he heard a muffed "jerk" from his brother which of course gathered the response "bitch" from him as he pulled him self out from under the covers. He had to make himself look beautiful after all it was his wedding day. (Oh Dean, to look beautiful all you have to do is smile. Or stand there. Or maybe even sit. Ah hell your always beautiful.)
Castiel was standing watching the sun rise on the most important day of his life. He never believed he would marry. It was never something that crossed his mind. He liked being alone and never wanted to share his life with anyone. People just got in his way. Then he had received a phone call. Nothing unusual, nothing strange just some work. But that call and those pictures he painted changed his whole world for the better. He now could not imagine his life without Dean in it. Dean was his sunshine, his light in the dark. The warmth around his heart and he never wanted it to end. Castiel was still looking out of his wall of windows not really seeing any of it when his door banged open and slammed shut.
"Hey Princess. It's your wedding day." Gabriel shouted to his brother.
Castiel smiled. Gabriel could by annoying some times,okay most of the time, but he did love him. And today he couldn't think of anyone he would prefer to have at his side as he and Dean exchanged there vowels.
"Hello Gabriel." He said turning and smiling at him.
"hey Cassie." Gabriel replied softly returning the smile before walking towards the kitchen area and putting down a bag. "I brought the ingredients for a proper breakfast as I doubt you'll eat much later." he continued empting out eggs and bacon as well as an assortment of other fresh food.
Cas just smiled, it was such a Gabriel thing to do. To think of food first.
Dean hands were shaking. He didn't know why he was so worried but he was. Still he needed to put those thoughts out of his mind, he had to get ready for his wedding. And there it was the thing that was making him so scared. It wasn't the getting married so much as the what ifs. What if Cas didn't show? (Never going to happen.) what if he hurts Cas? (why would he?) what if Cas gets bored with him and leaves? (Really?) what if Cas works out he could do so much better than Dean? (oh come, now you're being stupid Dean Winchester.) and so the thoughts continued going round and round in his head as he stared into the mirror tying his tie.
Sam just sat on the bed behind him watching, remembering the thoughts that went though his head on the morning of his wedding.
"Want any help with that?" Sam asked when Dean failed to tie his tie for the third time.
"No." came the growled response. Dean was on the verge of just not wearing the damn thing.
"Come here." Sam insisted turning him round. While tying the tie Sam discretely gave his brother a once over. He was far to pale and it didn't seem as if it was nerves that was worrying him. He looked down right terrified.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Sam asked when he had finished and turned his brother back to the mirror so he could see himself.
"Talk about what?" Dean snapped back, though he had a pretty good idea of what Sam wanted to discuss.
"Whatever it is that's making you look like you've seen a ghost." Sam replied. (so had to make that joke.)
"I'm fine." Dean said shortly.
"Dean, it's alright to nervous on your wedding date. Hell its even normal." Sam said exasperated by his brothers inability to talk about his feelings. He was always trying to be the strong one. Sam wished that once in a while he would lean on him instead of proping him up.
"I not nervous." Dean replied immediately. And it was true. Nerves where the last thing on his mind. He couldn't wait to go and get married. He loved Castiel with all his heart and he couldn't wait to be his husband, but...and there went the thoughts again.
"Okay. There's no way Cas is going to want to marry you if you look like that so-" Sam started, he was just about to go into lecture mode when he heard Dean mutter under his breath. "That might be a good thing." This confused Sam greatly. Why would Dean think it would be a good thing if Cas didn't marry him?
"Why would that be good?" he asked his brother cautiously.
"Damn you weren't meant to hear that." Dean sighed shaking his head and walking away from his brother to get all the things he needed today ready.
"Dean." Sam said in such a voice that it stopped Dean in his tracks. It was the no-nonsense lawyer voice that he knew his brother had, he just never expected him to us it on him.
"Fine. I just think that... you know... Cas could do so much better than me..." Dean finally got out. He didn't really want to tell Sam this.
"what? Are you crazy? You love him completely. You will make him the best husband in the world. There is no one who is better than you. And if I didn't think he deserved you I would have sent him packing a long time ago. You are perfect together Dean. Don't ever think anything else okay." Sam replied seriuosly going over to his brother and grabbing him buy the shoulders. He couldn't believe Dean really didn't think that he was worth Cas. In Sam's mind he was more concerned about Cas not being good enough for Dean. Not that he would ever say it. Of course he firmly believed that no one was good enough for his big brother so... (Ah Sam. Isn't that sweet of you.)
"Okay." Dean said. He was kinda shocked by his brothers reaction to what he had said so he nodded as well. Just to make sure Sam knew he had heard and understood. With the nod Sam grabbed his brother and pulled him into a bone crushing hug.
"Right enough chick-flick moments lets get going." Sam finally said as he let Dean go, looking round to get all there stuff.
Dean just stood there with his mouth open. Did Sam really just quote his books? (Yes.) "I'm starting to worry about you Sam. I think you are reading to many of my books." He finally got out.
"What that chick-lit? Why would I read that jerk?" Sam replied with a smirk on his face at his brother and dogged the fake punch Dean threw his way.
"not chick-lit, bitch." Dean replied as he tried to hit Sam causing them both to laugh. And with that Dean and Sam left for the ceremony both with smiles firmly in place on there faces.
Castiel was growling at his image in the mirror when Gabriel came to see how he was doing with getting ready.
"What's up baby bro?" He asked smirking at Castiel's back.
"This tie is broken." came Castiel's growled response.
"You sure its not just your nerves?" Gabriel asked in a sing-song voice though he did walk over to his brother to tie his tie while doing so.
"I am not nervous Gabriel." Castiel growled as he stood there and allowed Gabriel to do his tie.
"Uh-hu, I believe you Cassie." Gabriel replied looking at his brothers scowl and tapping fingers.
"I just want to get on with it." Castiel replied. He wanted to see Dean. And get married to Dean. Not be standing here having to get his brother to dress him.
"Okay well you look ready to me." Gabriel replied standing back and straightening Castiel clothes.
"Good." Cas replied as he practically ran for the door.
"Well, well I think my little bro's keen to get married." Gabriel muttered to himself, smiling at his brothers haste. (I agree. And I must say I am keen for them to get married too.)
