'I still have a hard time believing you finally decided to end the series. I mean, Revolution and Timeless were entirely different, I don't think you ever intended for them to last very long, but Supernatural…after the initial five seasons, however many books that translated into…you really didn't have an ending planned…and now, in the matter of a year, you'll have ended Supernatural in addition to Bloodlines and Wayward Sisters. You finally sorted out the issue with The Boys, so you can at least continue that, but I don't see that lasting more than a few seasons, either. So, what do you plan on doing after that?' Dean asked curiously.

Chuck shrugged. 'I don't know. If I can't think of anything else, I may end up doing prequels. Maybe…give Cassiel his own series set before Supernatural, maybe do some back story on the alternate universe Cassiel's we've seen, or maybe even introduce a whole other Cassiel, or…maybe all of the above.' He explained.

'If you did a prequel series, wouldn't that require Cassiel being in a different vessel?' Dean asked curiously.

'Yeah, that's why IF I did a prequel, it would probably be AFTER I explored the OTHER Cassiel's.' Chuck admitted. 'I think it would depend on whether or not anybody would be interested in picking up any of them. If so, I'd try to convince Aleksey to stay onboard, but if not…I'd just go ahead and do the prequels since at that point, there'd be no issue with the actor getting too old to continue portraying an ageless angel.' He added.

'He'd do it in a heartbeat, you'd just have to convince the higher-ups…since for once, the spin-off is actually YOUR idea.' Dean pointed out.

xXxXx

'You know, that was the first time since Sammy and Cas died that I've actually been on a plane.' Dean said, almost sadly.

'I know. You were so adamant against getting on a plane that they'd been having to pull you from the overseas Conventions since then.' Benny pointed out.

'Now, I've enjoyed this first day here in Perth, I still think your reaction to the dim sum restaurant was funny as hell, and I'm FINALLY getting to see the Elizabeth Quay Pedestrian Bridge! And seeing it at night is absolutely amazing!' Dean said happily.

Benny took his left hand out of his jacket pocket and let it drop to his side. He was also actually surprised that the temperature of Perth wasn't that hot in comparison to Carencro. He was glad he'd convinced Dean to come on this trip with him. Of course, he wouldn't have been coming to Australia if not for Dean's love of the country, to begin with.

Dean used his right hand and interlaced his fingers with the ones on Benny's left hand. 'Thank you.' He whispered.

Benny slowly pulled his hand away from Dean's, and Dean looked curiously back at him, watching him step closer before putting his left arm around Dean, his left hand resting on his boyfriends left hip. 'If somebody sees me like this, they're -' Dean began a bit concerned.

'Cher, the first public picture of the two of us was from after I'd fed on you and you were on your knees for me. I don't think THIS would even make the top ten interesting pictures of us since there's been a few pictures that you or I have posted since admitting we were soulmates…we really didn't think the pictures through.' Benny pointed out.

'That's not why I'm saying that, I'm saying it because this is supposed to be a vacation and I don't want to be nagged while I'm here.' Dean admitted. 'Even though, my last Con circuit, I think I got asked about my Mark of Cain tattoo enough times to get bored with telling the story. I still don't think everybody believes it's a real tattoo.' He added, shaking his head. 'And, don't start…I'm not getting a damn tattoo saying property of Benny.' He said with a smirk.

Benny lowered his head and laughed. 'Why do I keep getting blamed for that? It WASN'T my idea, it was Ben's…or Gabriel's…they've both suggested it.' He asked curiously.

'Ben thinks I should get this…never going to happen tattoo…across my shoulder blades…which admittedly would be more likely than Gabriel's idea of getting the damn thing across my ass.' Dean admitted.

Benny laughed. 'Can't imagine why you don't like him.' He said with a smirk.

Dean narrowed his eyes, Benny pulled his arm back away from Dean. 'Cher?' He asked carefully.

'Yes?' Dean asked curiously.

Benny clenched his right hand in his pocket. He'd be damned before he admitted to being nervous, BUT…he was nervous. Benny turned toward Dean. 'Do you remember during my visit that I disappeared for a couple days, a couple days after I arrived?' He asked carefully, it wasn't the question he wanted to ask, but he'd build up to THAT.

'Yeah.' Dean said carefully.

'I flew up to Sioux Falls.' Benny explained.

'Why?' Dean asked surprised, turning toward Benny.

'To…talk to Sam…and Cas.' And, hadn't THAT been weird because Benny normally didn't talk to someone who was…dead. But, he'd really thought…in this situation, that it had been necessary. 'And, to get Bobby's permission.' He added hesitantly.

'What the hell could you need Bobby's permission for?' Dean asked curiously. 'I'm a grown ass adult!' He reminded.

'Cher?' Benny asked carefully.

'Yeah?' Dean asked…concerned, more then anything.

'We both know that we've been through a lot since we met. A lot of my issues came from my jealousy over your relationship with Chuck and while the concerns were not unfounded, I could have handled things differently. What never changed, though…throughout any of this, even when we weren't really talking, were my feelings towards you. I…I know there was a period where your feelings towards me did change and part of that was my own damn fault. Sam and Cas…they tried warning me that what I was doing was just pushing you and Chuck together and I couldn't…deal with the idea of losing you. Throughout all of this, since I first figured out my feelings toward you…I have loved you, cher. That has NEVER changed. You accepted who I was, not just as a vampire but as a former pirate…but also the fact that for a period of time in the 1990s, I was a…porn star.' Benny began.

Dean tilted his head in an all-to-Cas-like way. 'Okay.' Dean said suspiciously.

'When I went up to Sioux Falls, I talked to Sam and Cas…and told them that I hoped that had they still been…alive, that they would've given me their blessing because while neither are your parents…I know how much you valued their opinions. I talked to Bobby and asked his permission and I think I surprised him more than anything by going by tradition and asking your…well, Bobby's more of a father to you than John EVER was…so, I think I surprised him by going by tradition and asking your father.' Benny continued.

'Uh huh, go on.' Dean narrowed his eyes suspiciously, his voice matching his facial expression. He was trying to figure out whether or not this was going to be a GOOD surprise or if he needed to start running - even if he didn't have a hope in Hell of outrunning a vampire.

Benny took an unnecessary deep breath. 'There are several different ways I could do this…and having to just decide on one was not as simple as I hoped it would be...but…' He dropped down onto his right knee while retrieving his right hand from his pocket on flipping open the little black box in his hand 'Dean William Winchester, I don't think it would matter to me whether you had actually been my soulmate or not, I can't believe that some stupid words on your wrist really dictate who you do and don't love, I love you, and if it is at all possible…I want to spend the rest of my life with you, however long or short that is. Will you do me the honor of making me a very happy…vampire…and allowing me to call you my husband? Dean…will you marry me?' He asked, keeping his eyes focused on Dean's face…because he knew if he looked away, he'd be second guessing EVERYTHING he just said.

To say Dean was surprised would've been like saying the sky was blue, grass was green, or that water was actually colorless. His eyes were wide, his mouth hanging open. 'Operating System, Dean Winchester is offline, please standby as he reboots.' He couldn't help but think.

The longer Dean stood there still as a statue, the more Benny was regretting his decision. He thought things had gotten better between them, but maybe they weren't good enough to think that proposing was a good idea? After what he did to Chuck, would things EVER be well enough between them that Dean would consider marrying him?

After a couple minutes of absolutely NO RESPONSE from Dean, Benny bit his bottom lip as he closed the box while standing up and shoved the box back in his pocket. 'Sorry I asked, cher.' Benny said regretfully before turning and trying to walk away, he needed a minute to get his thoughts together after…he wasn't sure whether to call this a rejection, refusal, or what.

'Ben-' Dean began as he reached out with his right hand to grab Benny's right wrist, but Benny had used his speed to disappear, Dean's hand dropped back to his side as his head dropped. 'Fuck!' He whispered regretfully. He hadn't meant to just freeze up, it was just…he honestly had NOT expected Benny to do that. As he ran off in what he HOPED was the same direction as Benny, he couldn't help but think about what his answer would be.

It took several minutes for Dean to finally catch up to where Benny had stopped. 'Benny?' Dean asked, out of breath.

'It's fine, cher. I don't regret asking, I just needed a minute to - I needed a moment to - I wish you had just said no instead of…saying nothing at all, though.' Benny said honestly.

Dean took the few remaining steps between him and Benny. He raised his right hand up, placing it on the left side of Benny's face as he tried to catch his breath. 'Benny, my answers not no, you just caught me so out of left field that - honestly, Benny…THAT was THE LAST thing I expected you to ask.' He said gently. 'Yes.' He added with a small smile.

'Wha-what?' Benny asked, confused.

Dean let his hand drop back to his side. 'Yes, I'll marry you…you silly vampirate.' He said with a smile before surging forward to kiss Benny.

xXxXx

Chuck was laying on his right side, his hands pressed overlapping - his left under his right - to his forehead as he cried.

Dean slowly dropped to his knees on the left side of the hospital bed before placing his left hand on the top of Chuck's head. 'Chuck -' He began regretfully.

Chuck glared at Dean through the tears. 'I fucking told you I didn't want the goddamn surgery…I FINALLY agree to the fucking x-ray…and then, come to find out…after doing their own x-rays, they CAN'T do the damned surgery!' He cried angrily.

Dean leaned his forehead on the side of the bed. 'I'm sorry.' He said regretfully. 'I didn't mean for this to happen.' He added, near tears himself. He knew Chuck was upset because really…he - Dean - had gotten Chuck's hopes up…and…then it turns out that…he wouldn't be able to have the surgery.

'If…my blood was ran through an IV…it could fix the damage.' Benny said hesitantly.

Chuck quickly rolled onto his back, his head snapping towards Benny. 'Fuck you!' He snapped. 'YOU did this to me, I don't want your goddamn help!' He said angrily.

'I-I could talk to Eli, I know he'd do it.' Benny said carefully.

The sound that came out of Chuck's mouth, the closest thing Dean could think to call it was a snarl. Dean's head snapped up to look wide-eyed at Chuck.

Benny considered mentioning Cain but he had no idea if he'd even agree to help and he knew that neither Dean nor Chuck knew that Cain wasn't human.

'Chuck, I've had Benny's blood run through my body…it's really not painful.' Dean pointed out. He didn't add that when that happened was also the day that Cas was turned.

Chuck looked at Dean. 'What am I supposed to say, Dean?' He asked defeated. 'That a lot of the reason I agreed to this damn idea was really because Gabriel won't fucking touch me? That our last argument before I agreed to this was him saying that if I didn't do it that he'd leave?' He added. 'Now what, Dean?' He choked out. 'You're getting married once you set a fucking date and Gabriel's to much of a motherfucking sex addict to stay faithful…and -' He began to panic.

'Why does Gabriel being faithful bother you one way or another? You spent YEARS of your relationship with you sleeping with Dean.' Benny pointed out.

Chuck looked at Benny. 'Because, I grew the fuck up!' He snapped.

Benny's eyes went wide and just started bobbing his head, he wasn't going to argue, because they'd finally come to a truce of sorts…and it really wasn't worth arguing.

xXxXx

'You started working for me the day after you got your permit, so the day after your sixteenth birthday…and how in all that time did we NOT know that you were allergic to bees?' Cain asked curiously, with Jesse's teeth sunk into his left wrist, Jesse's hands wrapped around Cain's left wrist.

Jesse shrugged - his beekeeper hat and veil sitting to his left. 'How's things with Ben going?' Cain asked curiously. This was nowhere near the first time Cain had let someone drink his blood, so he could easily maintain an active train of thought.

Jesse glared up at Cain. Cain laughed. 'That good?' He asked with a chuckle.

Jesse rolled his eyes. 'So, what did the…little pain-in-the-ass pseudo-Lafitte do?' Cain asked with a smirk.

Jesse pulled his head back from Cain's wrist but did not release his grip on it. 'I think he's been drinking whatever Kool-Aid that Benny drunk for awhile. Did you know that according to Ben that you and I are apparently fucking?' He asked curiously but completely straight-faced.

'What?' Cain asked laughing. 'That's completely ridiculous! Mentor? Sure. Father-ish figure? Maybe. Romantic or sexual partner? No. I don't see you that way.' He explained.

'I think this really started because first I wouldn't let him paint my toe nails rainbow like he did his, I'm gay…that doesn't mean I'm wearing some faggot nail polish.' Jesse didn't watch his choice of words as much with Cain and he did other people, because Cain wasn't typically judgmental about a lot of things. 'THEN, he found out that I've started drawing pictures of you. It probably didn't help that while I've always done his pictures in color because charcoal just…I can't get it to look good when drawing him…but I've only EVER done yours with charcoal and I honestly think it looks better...and I told him that to his face, you just have a better…profile for charcoal use. I think he might also be a bit jealous because since we met, when I draw real people, I primarily focus on HIM...and since I started also drawing YOU consistently…he's had to…share the attention of my binder.' He explained. 'You know, in the last month he's started saying some weird shit that you're going to try to convince me to let you turn me.' He added with a growing smirk.

'I've told you, you either have to be in life threatening danger OR YOU have to ask me. I'm not going to try to brainwash you into…letting me turn you.' Cain pointed out.

'I know. I tried to explain that to him -' Jesse began before lowering his head.

'And?' Cain asked curiously. 'But?' He asked curiously. 'Insert word here.' Cain said concerned.

Jesse shook his head quickly. 'Nevermind, it's nothing.' He said dismissively.

'Uh huh, and my brothers name WASN'T Abel.' Cain said, sarcastic but unimpressed. 'Jesse, when I hired you what were the THREE rules you had to follow no matter what?' He asked seriously.

'No stealing, no harming the bees, and no lying.' Jesse rattled off automatically.

'And, you've followed those rules exceptionally well.' Cain admitted. 'So, why the hell are you lying to me, now?' He asked angrily.

Jesse raised his head to meet Cain's eyes. 'If I tell you, you can't tell ANYONE else, okay?' He whispered, his voice sounding small and scared to his own ears.

'Who would I tell? You're the most consistent person I see. Hell, I've started giving you my checkbook so you can pay my bills, I give you my credit card so you can do my grocery shopping, you're the one who goes to the farmers market to sell the honey, when do I REALLY leave my property? So, who am I supposed to be telling?' Cain asked curiously.

Jesse laughed. 'Okay, I give you that, you're not exactly a social butterfly, but you know what I meant.' He admitted.

'Yes, I know what you meant.' Cain admitted.

Jesse huffed. 'I've never been afraid of Ben not just because if push came to shove that I could take him down in a fight…but just because he'd never given me a reason to actually fear him. It wasn't the first time we slept together, but…it was the first time I let him tie me up.' Jesse began before dropping his head and shaking his head as he bit his bottom lip.

'What did he do?' Cain asked concerned.

Jesse shook his head again before wrapping his arms around himself. Something clicked in Cain's head. 'He wouldn't have.' Cain said in disbelief.

Jesse could feel the tears running down his face. 'Yeah, I wouldn't have thought so, either.' He cried. 'What am I supposed to tell Dean, Ben's HIS SON? Hell, for that matter what do I tell Benny…who's the one that Ben formed his attachment with? What the hell do I tell them? CAN I tell them? Would they even believe me if I did?' He added. 'Ho-how can I explain to ANYBODY that my fucking soulmate…that BEN…raped me?' He cried, FRANTIC for an answer.

Cain took a step closer to Jesse before putting his right hand on the back of Jesse's head, Jesse leaned his head forward against Cain's chest, Cain keeping his hand on the back of Jesse's head. 'How about you just stay here until you can figure out what you want to do?' Cain suggested carefully.

'Alright.' Jesse choked out.

'Just realize, that boy sets foot on my property without your consent…and I'll fucking kill him. I don't care if he is your fucking soulmate, he's not going to hurt you like that as long as I'm alive.' Cain said seriously.

Jesse turned his head to the right, Cain sliding his hand down to the side of Jesse's neck in the process. Jesse wrapped his arms around Cain's waist. There was no question, in Cain's mind…there was nothing between them, but he did care about Jesse…and he hadn't been given the name the Father of Murder all those years ago…for nothing.

xXxXx

Dean sat on the couch, eighteen of the final twenty episodes of Supernatural had been filmed…only thirteen had actually been completed by the special effects team, though. And, why was he not on-set when they weren't actually on break? Because, filming had been suspended for what everyone HOPED was only a couple weeks due to…out of all things, a fucking pandemic! He and Chuck were waiting on Benny and Ben to fly out since Benny was having to close the restaurant until he was allowed to reopen, since he didn't offer drive-thru and he really didn't know if curb-side service would even work with the way he operates his restaurant. Since this was only expected to last a couple weeks, Dean had consented to Gabriel staying with them during the quarantine. But, Jesse was going to be staying with Cain…Dean wasn't too sure what had happened between Jesse and Ben - and he KNEW that THAT was really the reason for Jesse's decision to stay with Cain - but he planned to get to the bottom of the problem while he was out of work.

'So, do you have everything that you and Benny talked about needing for the next few weeks - just to be on the safe side?' Chuck asked curiously.

'Yeah, people are starting to go bat-shit nuts, though! I think I'd prefer actually being stuck in that universe in Supernatural where Cassiel was a sex-drug addict! At least it made sense!' Dean admitted, shaking his head.

'I just hope letting Gabriel stay here during the quarantine doesn't backfire. I mean, once he understood that I CAN'T have the surgery…he's still with me and has even admitted that he's getting to old for sex to be such a definitive part of his life…but still, he's really NOT a person I've EVER really considered being someone I can live with.' Chuck admitted.

xXxXx

Benny and Ben had arrived the day prior with Gabriel arriving that day since the crew had gotten a minor extension to finish filming a very important scene.

'Come in.' Ben called from his position on the bed, his socks off laying to his left, several bottles of nail polish, a paper towel, a half-full bottle of nail polish remover, and a nail polish remover pen sitting in front of him.

Dean opened the door with his right hand, walked into the room, closing the door in the process. He watched momentarily while Ben used the paper towel and nail polish remover to begin removing the bright red nail polish from his toe nails. 'What do you want, Dean?' Ben asked curiously, but not losing his concentration.

'What the hell happened between you and Jesse?' Dean asked bluntly. 'Because, I KNOW - even without him admitting it - that the reason he's pretty much stopped living here in the last couple months and the reason he's spending quarantine with Cain is because of YOU.' He added.

'It's none of your damn concern!' Ben snapped.

'Like hell it's not! Jesse might technically be an adult but I KNOW that boy, and THIS isn't like him!' Dean snapped back.

'I'M an adult, too…dad.' Ben said mockingly.

Dean flinched, Ben had only EVER called him dad as a mockery and Ben KNEW that that bothered him. Dean shook his head. 'Ben, what the hell's going on between you two? Jesse's had an interest in you since you met and once you wised up, you fell for him, too. So, what happened?' He asked curiously.

'I'm not changing my answer no matter how many times or ways you ask the same question.' Ben said bluntly.

'Did Jesse do something to you?' Dean asked carefully, having decided to try a different tactic.

'He spent too much damn time around you. He's a lying, cheating bastard!' Ben snapped.

'Oh God no!' Dean thought concerned to himself, NOT because he thought Jesse had actually done anything but because this just screamed of the same shit he went through with Benny.

'Did you know your little antichrist boy was fucking his employer? That Jesse was fucking Cain?' Ben asked angrily.

'Benny!' Dean hollered. He was NOT dealing with this shit!

It took only a few seconds before Benny was standing to the left of Dean. Benny looked at Dean. 'What is it, cher?' He asked curiously.

'Did you know that apparently Jesse and Cain are sleeping together…at least, according to Ben?' Dean asked amused.

'The hell they are!' Benny said with absolute certainty.

'You sound awfully certain of that, Benny.' Dean said carefully, honestly being surprised at how quickly Benny had responded.

'I am. The first time I met Cain, it was the…late 1700s, I think. He's not just another vampire, he's the alpha…the very beginning of the vampire race. He's been alive for…well, he's the Father of Murder…he's the very same Cain who killed Abel…so, however long ago THAT was, tact on a few years for him to grow up. And, by today's different branches of sexuality, he's demisexual…and while admittedly I'm sure he does have an emotional attachment to Jesse, it's not THAT kind of attachment. Believe me, I met his soulmate Colette before her tragic death…he's NOT like that with Jesse. He's Jesse's mentor and maybe a kind of father figure, BUT that's a far cry from showing romantic or sexual interest.' Benny explained.

Dean was speechless, wide-eyed and mouth agape. 'And, how many times have you seen Cain since Jesse started living with Dean?' Ben asked with a knowing smirk.

'Honestly, I've only seen him a handful of times throughout my life, he's a VERY private person…but since I met Jesse, I've only talked to Cain once.' Benny admitted.

'And, how does this translate into you knowing WITHOUT A DOUBT that they're not fucking?' Ben asked curiously.

'Because he fucking loves you!' Benny snapped.

'And, Dean loves you, BUT that didn't stop him from sleeping with Chuck.' Ben pointed out.

Benny shook his head. 'I truly am sorry, Ben…I should have never told you what my feelings were towards Dean at that time…you're projecting what I felt then on your own relationship with Jesse, now.' He said regretfully.

As Ben started lifting bottles of nail polish to eye level before putting them back on the bed, he also laughed. 'And, how far did you take your feelings?' He asked with an angry chuckle. 'Chuck's paralyzed from the waist down, you went after your competition.' He pointed out. 'I did not.' He said bluntly.

Dean and Benny shared a glance before refocusing on Ben. 'What did you do?' They asked in unison, Dean's voice was angry while Benny's was concerned.

'I tied him to the bed because he was stupid enough to let me. I didn't give him a choice when I fucked him.' Ben said as he sat the metallic silver nail polish on his socks.

'You raped him?' Benny asked in disbelief.

Ben shrugged. 'If that's what you want to call it.' He said, unconcerned.

'You stupid fucking kid!' Dean snapped.

'What are you going to do dad?' Ben asked, smiling. 'You going to beat the shit out of me? You going to call the cops? You going to kick me out?' He asked smugly. 'You can't hit me, you're Dean fucking Winchester…you'd destroy your own career. You won't call the cops, I'm your son. You can't kick me out…we're under quarantine.' He pointed out.

'No, Ben…we're not going to do ANY of that. What I'M going to do is simple…when we get back to the houseboat, you'll face your punishment then.' Benny explained.

Dean gave Benny a look that said 'What are you planning?'

Benny just smirked. He hoped Dean understood the underlying message, he wasn't PLANNING to do anything to Ben, he just wanted to make him paranoid…just WAITING for a punishment that was never going to come…because he had the belief that SOMETIMES the best punishment is no punishment, at all.

xXxXx

Dean knew that unless for something 'special'…or weird…that this was the last time he was leaving the Supernatural set. It had taken MONTHS NOT WEEKS to get things back to enough of a normal that they could film the final two episodes and so the effects team could finish up the other five episodes…plus the newest two. Him and Chuck BOTH had a hell of a lot of pictures from the after party…which some could be posted on social media and some couldn't…since there still guidelines in place with what at this point most people who weren't health nuts or scared stiff were thinking were complete bullshit. But, THAT wasn't an argument that most people wanted to get into, so he just kept his mouth shut…then again, living with Gabriel - until it got to the point that either he left or Dean was gonna to end up in jail for homicide - had kinda burnt him out on ANYTHING concerning the pandemic.

Benny had gone back to Louisiana as soon as Ben had come up with a way for carry out to work and since then they'd been able to reopen at limited capacity. Dean had then had to go get Jesse after Ben left, and explained that he knew why he'd decided to stay with Cain instead of staying with Dean…and Dean didn't blame him. He just wished that Jesse had trusted him enough to tell him himself. Jesse had ended up apologizing but had admitted that he'd just been scared that Dean wouldn't believe him since Ben was Dean's son. Dean had ended up laughing at that before pointing out that Ben didn't really consider him his father and Ben was closer to Benny anyways…and that BLOOD didn't mean shit.

Dean and Chuck had gone through their phones and each others to figure out which of the pictures from the party were actually safe to post and while they'd both posted the 'safe' pictures from their respective phones in clusters, Dean had posted his favorite by itself, a picture of him and Aleksey still in full outfit and make-up, their foreheads leaned together, their eyes closed, and Dean's left hand on the back of Aleksey's neck. A message posted with the picture that simply read 'The Righteous Man and the Fallen Angel say goodbye.' The joke was on the fans though, they were out of character, filming was over, it was really THEM saying goodbye, because really…without the show, even as close of friends as they'd become over the eleven years that they'd known each other…there was really no telling when they'd be able to get together simply as friends.

'You know, if the higher-ups figure out that YOU took what you did, they're going to be PISSED!' Chuck said with a smirk.

'And, who would it really surprise? I already admitted when we did that Q and A on StageIt during the self-quarantine that if I could have any prop that I'd want the Colt.' Dean pointed out. 'If I actually get in trouble over it, I'll return it.' Dean admitted.

xXxXx

'Dean, are you sure you don't want to have your hair done? This is one of the few times where you're NOT at home, and you're going to be photographed A LOT, but that you're not doing ANYTHING with your hair.' Aleksey asked hesitantly.

'Alec, come on, man! This is my fucking wedding! I want to be COMFORTABLE!' Dean said annoyed.

Aleksey shook his head and laughed. 'You're something else, Dean.' He said with a smirk.

'Is that good or bad?' Dean asked curiously.

'You have BOTH Ben and Jesse here despite the fact that…I still can't believe any son of yours would DO THAT…but, THAT aside…I think it's good that you invited Cain along since Jesse's pretty much clung to him since Ben…did what he did. So, THAT balances out.' Aleksey explained. 'You have Claire, her wife Kaia, and their…whatever Jack has become to them…here. And please, don't try to explain to me what Jack is because I'm supportive of a polyamorous relationship, but I'm not even sure how to begin to UNDERSTAND the type of relationship those three have. So, I GUESS that's good.' He continued. 'You made sure Bobby came. Jodi was easier to convince to come. Claire, Kaia, and Jack were the only ones of the kids that Jodi had been responsible for in their teen youth that decided to come…even though, you'd invited the whole batch. And, I know that Bobby coming means the world to you.' He added. 'I know that you made sure Gabriel could be here despite a sudden conflict with the filming schedule for Dr Sexy, you talking to the higher ups and getting him three days off so he could be here. You even invited Gadreel which I'm actually surprised HE showed up considering how quiet he is, but I think it's good you've made sure he gets the reinforcement he needs from someone besides Gabriel that he's not…well, whatever their father convinced him he was.' He continued. 'I think it's hilarious but good that Eli is Benny's best man, I know he's happy that Liz came. But, I am surprised that Benny was okay with Chuck being your…whatever he is.' He added, causing Dean to laugh. 'What am I doing here, though? Hell, I'm the only one from the cast you invited despite how close we'd all become by the finale.' He asked curiously.

Dean shrugged. 'I know, but I wanted to keep this small.' He admitted.

'Well, I'm glad you at least let ME come, Dean.' Aleksey admitted with a smirk.

'So am I, Alec.' Dean admitted.

xXxXx

'So, how does cher-Dean look in his suit?' Benny asked curiously.

'Hot as hell.' Chuck admitted, knowing that for once…he wasn't putting his neck at risk by speaking his mind about how he felt about Dean.

'What color?' Benny asked curiously.

'Erm.' Chuck said, narrowing his eyes. 'It reminds me of sky blue when it's the color of chalk.' He said thoughtfully. 'A nice white button-down, black dress shoes, and a tie that couldn't be more out of place if it TRIED…but it's also not one I'd seen since before Sam and Cas died.' He admitted.

While Benny had been building a mental image of the suit he'd yet to see, what Chuck said about the tie drew his attention away from the image. 'What do you mean?' He asked carefully.

'Do you remember that black and bee print tie Cas had for freaking ever that never seemed to look ragged despite the fact that he'd had it since his eighteenth birthday and that after Supernatural began and then I introduced Cassiel that it become a joke of sorts that Cas had his own bit of angel grace despite the fact that Cas was one hundred percent HUMAN…and later a vampire?' Chuck asked curiously.

'Yeah, like an angels grace explains why Cas' tie never really looked old.' Benny said jokingly. 'Okay, actually it would.' Benny said thoughtfully. 'Nevermind.' Benny said quickly.

Chuck laughed. 'Dean asked about YOUR suit, when I was talking to him before me and Aleksey switched out.' He admitted.

'What did you tell him?' Benny asked curiously.

'That somehow you had misinterpreted WEDDING to actually mean HALLOWEEN and decided to dress up as Captain Blood.' Chuck said with a growing smile.

'First of all, I'm not Errol Flynn…second, have you EVER even seen the movie? He isn't at any point in the movie dressed up like this!' Benny pointed out, confused but also more than a bit irritated.

'I think I saw that and The Son of Captain Blood, which I think had his son Sean in it when I was in high school…I know I wasn't eighteen when I saw them, high school or not.' Chuck admitted.

'Yeah, Sean played in that one. I don't think I bothered watching that one until after he'd disappeared, though.' Benny admitted.

'Huh?' Chuck asked confused.

'You really don't know shit, do you?' Benny asked annoyed, shaking his head.

Chuck shrugged. 'You do look…good…in your pirate garb…costume…outfit, though.' He said carefully.

'Oh, stow it!' Benny snapped.

The ceremony had ended up being more complicated that they'd thought to organize…since the original idea had been to get married in Australia but with there still technically being a pandemic and Australia's borders still being closed…that had been postponed TWICE and with no sign of the country reopening or the pandemic coming to an end…they went ahead with the ceremony in LA…literally, in Dean's backyard. They figured once Australia's borders reopened, they'd go there for their belated honeymoon.

Once the ceremony actually took place, everything ran smoothly…up to and including the 'I dos'…up to the point in the wedding reception where Ben made the mistake of getting within arms reach of Jesse…and Jesse bared his fangs at him and hissed…resulting in EVERYONE except Benny, Eli, and Cain staring wide-eyed at Jesse. Eli looked to Benny, Benny glared at Cain, and Cain simply said 'this was HIS choice.'

'Why?' Ben asked in disbelief.

'Because, I am NEVER going to let you hurt me again.' Jesse said angrily.

Ben looked back at Benny. 'Is there any fixing this?' He asked desperately.

'There's no reversing it once we've went through the whole process, which he obviously has. But, if you really thought that your relationship was salvageable after what you did to him, then you're dumber than I was when I made the mistakes I did with Dean.' Benny choosing his words the way he did simply because he knew not everyone there knew that Ben had raped Jesse.

'I was never with Cain, Benjy…I'm still not…but he is my maker and that means I have the same inert loyalty to him that Cas did to Benny.' Jesse explained.

'And, being one of the Alpha's made…Jesse would be stronger than me or Eli…simply because one made directly by the Alpha is guaranteed to have stronger abilities than any other made vampire.' Benny explained.

'Aw, come on, Chuck! Why're you stopping there? What about the…OTHER Chuck and Gabriel? Do they ever tie the knot? What about Ben and Jesse, do they ever repair their relationship?' Evan whined.

Chuck shrugged. 'I don't know. Use your imagination. Do you want them to be? Do you NOT want them to be? This type of ending leaves somethings up for interpretation.' He explained.

'You are a PAIN IN THE ASS, god boy!' Evan said, shaking her head but smirking.

'Yeah, I know…but I'm bored.' Chuck admitted. 'I figure we can just start over, maybe find a scenario I won't get bored with.' He added.

'How did the little universe you created for ME turn into YOUR personal playground?' Evan asked curiously.

'Because, what I create in this universe is solely meant to be temporary play things…and you won't let me go back to the universe I like since you want me to stay away from Nick and the Winchester's little ragtag group.' Chuck pointed out.

Evan shrugged. 'So, you're going to reset this universe and start over from a blank slate, maybe finally finding an idea you like?' She asked bored.

'Yup.' Chuck admitted easily before snapping the fingers on his left hand.

Author's Note: 1) To anyone wondering about that last section, go back and read The Lost Book of Chuck and you'll understand. But, to just explain a small bit in case you don't want to go back and read that story, THAT Chuck is Chuck - God, the writer of universes…and Evan's my OC goddess from that story. If you can't tell by the bit in here, Evan's also his love interest. 2) Thank you to everyone who's stuck around for all fifty chapters of this story, it's been one hell of a ride!

Edit (February 19, 2021): I'm currently working on a Destiel story after which I'll be adding another Denny one-shot to Hitting the Heart. Hopefully, after that I'll be able to get into the right grove for the Winterhawk story I've been stuck on for a couple months.
