Author's Note: Well, Benny has successfully stuck his foot in his mouth, again. Let's see how things will work out. But first, let's return you to your regularly scheduled argument.

Other: And, a continuing thank you to my beta for this story, vrskaandrea - any remaining errors are solely my own.

Uncle Bob

'Cher, I -' Benny began regretfully.

'And, what about you?' Dean snapped. 'You loved Andrea, you fucking betrayed your nest for her! She wasn't your soulmate but you two still loved each other.' He pointed out.

'That's not the same thing!' Benny snapped back.

'How the hell is it not?' Dean asked angrily. 'Because, it's you?' He added.

'Because, I wasn't fucking Andrea while I was with my soulmate!' Benny said angrily.

'Goddammit Benny! I'm not fucking Chuck!' Dean snapped.

'And, you really think I can just believe you with the way you act with him?' Benny asked curiously.

Dean shrugged. 'I don't expect you to believe shit, Benny. I EXPECTED you to trust me enough to realize I wouldn't cheat on you, but I guess that was MY mistake.' Dean knew he was near tears but he'd be damned before he cried in front of Benny, right then.

Benny could tell that Dean was upset and attempted to step toward him - argument be damned! What he didn't expect was for Chuck to step between them, he wasn't sure whether Chuck was being brave or stupid. 'Leave!' Chuck said evenly.

'Well, that was clear.' Benny thought to himself. 'I don't think that's your call to make, Chuck.' He pointed out.

'No, it's mine. And, I think he's right. Until you get your shit together, you need to go.' Dean said bluntly.

xXxXx

'Hey, where'd Benny go?' Sam asked curiously.

'I really don't care, right now.' Dean snapped.

'Home.' Chuck clarified.

'Is Ben still here?' Sam asked curiously.

'No.' Dean said, shaking his head.

'But, he -' Sam began concerned.

'What was I supposed to do, Sam? FORCE Ben to stay? You think HE wouldn't have run off if I had tried that? I'm not chaining him to a fucking radiator to keep him here!' Dean explained.

'And, he's NEVER going to give a fuck about you if never fight for him.' Cas pointed out.

Dean shrugged. 'He's a teenager, Cas…he wouldn't give a fuck about me even if I did.' He said reluctantly.

xXxXx

Cas stretched his arms above his head, he'd known why a vampire slept from the get-go…it wasn't that they'd get PHYSICALLY tired, it was a mental thing, and being a cop coming off a 28 hour shift…that got into the mental, so it didn't affect his sleeping. He took his shoes, hat, and belt off - he was going to be happy when he got a day off so he could wear his trenchcoat…something he couldn't wear on-duty unless it was cold and California rarely did cold, apparently. He missed Sioux Falls! He would never say he missed Lawrence, he'd had his fill of tornadoes when he was small.

Cas walked into the living room. 'Uncle! Uncle! Chuck dammit, I give, let go!' He was curious at Dean's voice, so he walked over to stand behind the couch to see what was going on.

Cas decided not to ask why Dean was front down on the floor, looking back over his right shoulder, with Chuck sitting on his lower back, Dean's right arm bent back with both of Chuck's hands at different places on Dean's forearm. Cas figured they'd started out on the couch since both the pillows were in the floor, too. Cas crossed his arms on the back of the couch and crossed his right foot behind his left. 'Should I even ask what you did this time, Dean?' He asked curiously. It wasn't that Dean got into fights with Chuck, it was just growing up around Dean…there had been plenty of 'scraps' between Dean and Sam or Dean and Cas - never really Cas and Sam - or Dean, Sam, or Cas and Gabriel. There had also been one between Dean and Michael who was the oldest Novak sibling but that ended up actually being Dean, Sam, Cas, and even Gabriel against Michael since Dean was just too inexperienced to deal with the older man. That had been funny, Dean had been 12, Cas 13, Sam hadn't even been in the double digits yet, and Gabriel being the fourth oldest of the Novak siblings was…well, he was the same age as Chuck so however old Chuck had been then was how old Gabriel was. Okay, so there were too many Novak's in the world, Cas had known that since he was old enough to realize that having THAT MANY siblings wasn't normal by any stretch of the word or imagination.

'He saw the video because I was trying to fish out the damn honeycomb for him to eat with his strawberry pancakes and I hadn't exited Twitter.' Dean said distracted. 'Let go!' He ordered.

'So Chuck was the one stealing my honey?' Cas asked with a smirk, he wondered if either of them realized Chuck was drunk the first time he'd 'stolen' Cas' honey - that was before Cas had even moved in with Sam and Lucifer…so, he wasn't to sure why the honey was at Dean's to begin with - and had left a note 'I just wanted comb, sorry. Pay you next time. -C.S.' He was not at all surprised when Chuck used the heel of his right hand and clocked Dean in the side of the head, but he still laughed. He'd been secretly blaming Chuck since he - Cas - had started living with Dean…with Sam, so he was actually glad he'd been right.

'Get him off of me! I can't exactly hit him until he gets better!' Dean said angrily.

'Yeah, can't see how Chuck would ever use that admission against you.' Cas thought sarcastically to himself. 'Before I do, what have we learned here today about social media?' He asked curiously. Oddly, he'd asked a similar question earlier that day to a teen girl who'd accidentally posted nude photos of herself on her Facebook account instead of to her boyfriend and Cas had convinced Sam to take her case because otherwise she'd be facing child porn charges. It was fascinating - not really - how that law was made to help get pedophiles for making child porn and now was actually being used against teens to keep them from sexting.

'Not to trust motherfucking angels to help their friends!' Dean snapped.

Cas stood up straight, held up his hands at shoulder height, and took a step back. 'I've told you before Dean, just because me and all my siblings were named after angels - or in some case prophets or something equally religious - does not mean any of us are angels. And, since you want to be pissy with me, you're on your own.' Cas said with a hint of a smile as he started to walk out of the living room.

Cas barely made it into the hallway before 'Cas, I'm sorry! Come back! Help!' Dean called apologetically. Cas covered his mouth with his left hand as his shoulders shook with laughter. Dean was just to damn predictable. But, so was he…because he did turn back around to head back into the living room.

Cas walked around to where Chuck was perched on Dean's back - or at least, that's how Cas was seeing it. Cas bent down to wrap his arms under Chuck's arm and lifted him up off Dean. 'Was he even trying to get you off?' He whispered before letting Chuck drop to the floor.

Chuck turned toward Cas. 'No.' He admitted with a smile.

Cas laughed, shaking his head. 'Are you sure you wrote his character right? He's a much better hard ass in the show. If he can't even beat your little self up, what would he really be able to do against an archangel?' He asked with a smirk.

'In his defense, he wrote the character before he met me. So unlike other characters like Cassiel, The Trickster slash Gabriel, Lucifer, Crowley, Gadreel, et cetera …or the characters he based on Benny or Adam, he didn't have interactions with me or Sam before creating the brothers.' Dean explained. 'And, I can't say I mind that…I like who I play and if my…brother…had acted too much like Sammy, it probably would have made me twitchy.' He added.

'And, Sam and I still say that since Chuck really did request you for the role, he probably wrote the character with you in mind.' Cas pointed out.

Chuck used the heel of his left hand and hit Cas square in the chest, Cas looked surprised at Chuck, Chuck pulled his hand back, looked at it before looking back at where he'd hit Cas, and then looked at Cas directly. 'Oh!' Cas said with a smirk on his face before unbuttoning his shirt revealing the vest underneath. 'It does feel…odd…if you hit it, not expecting the difference.' He explained.

Chuck narrowed his eyes. 'Stab proof. I honestly prefer them to bulletproof vests because honestly, if you're going to shoot someone to kill them, it's a fucking head-shot and that vest isn't going to do shit. BUT, a lot of people if they're using a knife will stab you where the vest is. I honestly don't need either since Benny turned me but I have to wear one or the other as a requirement and even as a vampire, I don't like the idea of being stabbed.' Cas continued to explain.

Chuck just blinked several times. Cas looked at Dean. 'How much of this is he really understanding?' He asked curiously.

Chuck punched Cas in the right jaw, Dean laughed. 'Enough to know that you're being an asshole. If he doesn't understand something and wants a further explanation, HE will look at me, NOT the other person.' Dean explained as Cas rubbed his jaw.

'Why?' Cas asked curiously, surprised that Chuck could actually hit as hard as he did.

Chuck looked at Dean curiously. 'Honestly, I'm not going to try to repeat what he called it since it wasn't even a word…but he finds it disrespectful.' Dean clarified.

Chuck narrowed his eyes. 'Well, it wasn't a word!' Dean said defensively. Chuck began stalking toward Dean and Dean started walking backwards.

Cas crossed his arms and smirked. 'Yeah, and you wonder why Benny thinks you two are fucking.' He thought to himself.

Dean turned and ran, Chuck close on his tail. 'You wouldn't have fought back against Chuck BEFORE this, his stroke didn't change shit! Besides that you have an excuse for keeping him close, now. He loves you and you're just overprotective of someone that I still haven't been able to pin down as to what you consider him to be.' Cas continued to think. 'I wonder if Gabriel would legitimately know.' Okay, so one thing that Cas and Sam had in common was that they were like a dog with a bone once they latched onto something and maybe if Cas figured out what Dean considered Chuck…maybe it would make things go back to normal between Dean and Benny.

'Cassie?' Gabriel asked curiously.

Cas groaned. 'Hello, Gabriel.' He said irritated.

'So, what does my favorite little brother want from his best older sibling?' Gabriel asked smugly.

'What does it say about our family that YOU'RE my favorite sibling?' Cas asked annoyed.

'Aw Cassie, you wound me.' Gabriel said sarcastically.

Cas rolled his eyes. 'If I wanted to wound you, I would've shot you by now.' He said seriously.

Gabriel about choked on his drink - and three gummy worms, when he could speak clearly again, he said offended, 'Damn kid, learn how to take a joke!'

'I'm a year older than Dean, I'm not a kid anymore, Gabriel!' Cas said annoyed.

'Cassie, you're my baby brother, I had more of a hand in raising you then Naomi, our father, or Mikey…you'll always be a kid to me.' Gabriel said with a smirk.

'And, I will never understand how I turned out as well as I did with YOU being my primary caregiver.' Cas said seriously.

'Because, I can behave like an adult when I have to.' Gabriel admitted.

'Yeah, that explains how come there's been a couple of occasions where you'd end up just shy of a sugar coma and would get the brilliant idea to send all your co-stars - male and female - dick pics. How have you NOT been fired or arrested by now?' Cas asked curiously.

Gabriel cleared his throat. 'Alright baby brother, what were you calling for?' Purposefully changing the subject.

'I have two questions for you. And, while I don't expect fully serious answers…I would at least like as close as you can get.' Cas said seriously.

'I can do serious.' Gabriel said with a giggle.

Cas' head dropped before he shook his head. 'Do you think Chuck loves Dean? And, I don't mean like Dean loves me or Sam.' He asked curiously.

'Of course. I don't care, I never have. You'd have to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to know he's been in love with Dean since…before I ever met Chuck. I always knew I was playing second banana to Dean. And, I'm alright with that because I also know Chuck loves me. Despite what our dated society believes, Cassie…it is possible to be in love with more than one person at once.' Gabriel explained.

Cas used his left hand and scrubbed his face. 'How is it even when he's serious there's a part of me that hears his Joker-side?' He thought to himself. 'And, do you think Dean loves Chuck the same way?' He asked carefully.

Gabriel huffed and ran the fingers of his left and through his hair. 'I honestly do not know, Castiel. There are times where I think it couldn't be more obvious that he is and other times where it couldn't be more obvious that he isn't. Dean's…I don't know, I know he loves Chuck…I just don't know if it's the way he wants.' He said honestly.

Cas took his phone away from his ear in shock and looked at the black screen with wide eyes before putting the phone back up to his ear. 'Okay, who are you and what have you done with my clown of a brother?' He asked concerned.

'Damn, Cassie…I'm actually TRYING to be serious for once and yet, you won't even believe it's me!' Gabriel said offended.

Author's Note: Honestly, I had this chapter planned out a little differently, but then I said something to Andrea, and she pointed out something else in turn, and so, we ended up with more of Dean and Benny's argument.
