Dean and Cas work at a bar together. Everybody knows they flirt all the time, but when a new waitress, Charlie, comes in and points things out to them. They too come to their senses.

As usual, thank you for your review (Tari4078), favs, and follows! Love you guys!


"Castiel?" Castiel Novak looked up from his book. His manager, Chuck Shurley was standing in front of him with a redheaded girl. "This is a new server, Charlie Bradbury. Charlie, this is Castiel Novak. He's one of our best servers. He's going to be training you tonight."

"Cool. Hi." The girl practically floated. She had this bubbly air around her that was infectious. Castiel smiled at her and offered a hand.

"Nice to meet you." Castiel looked at Chuck. "Where am I tonight?"

"The bar." Castiel tried not to groan. He hated the bar on weeknights. The only time it was good was when… "Oh and Dean will be the bartender tonight, so I figured if I give you each half the bar you'll have plenty of time to train. It's Wednesday night so we shouldn't be too busy there. Why don't you two start with a tour? I've got to go check on Balthazar in the kitchen." Chuck walked away, leaving the two alone.

"So, where to first?" Charlie asked.

"Well, this is the dining area." Castiel gestured towards where the booths and a few tables were, just behind the greeters' stand. "On nights like tonight, that's where you want to be. The bar is really only good for the weekends, and if there's some sort of sporting event on."

"Uh…do we need to follow sports to work here?" Castiel grinned.

"Not at all." A look of relief came to Charlie's face.

"Thank God. I'm a little too much of a geek for that."

"I have a feeling we will be good friends then." Castiel showed her around the rest of the restaurant before his shift officially started. He walked over to the bar and was saw Dean take over for the other bartender, Eli. Castiel walked up to the bar with Charlie and smiled.

"Hello, Dean." Dean looked up from the ice he was refilling and smiled.

"Hey there, Cas, how are you? And who are you?" Dean cast a glance at Charlie.

"Charlie."

"Charlie. What are you doing here, Charlie?" Charlie quirked and eyebrow at him.

"I work here."

"Why wasn't I notified?" Chuck came walking over to audit Eli out of his drawer. "I wasn't notified!" Chuck didn't even look over at him as he began counting.

"Hey, Dean, we hired someone."

"Thank you!"

"So, that's Dean. He's one of the best bartenders that we have and he'll be a great help tonight."

"Aw, Cas, you flatter me. You know there's nobody I'd rather have in my bar than you." Dean winked at Castiel and then turned to begin cutting the lemons.

"Alright you two, that's enough. I'm going to get out of here so these lovebirds can run the bar." Eli announced once Chuck was done. Castiel blushed and began taking Charlie around the bar and going over duties the two of them would need to do before and after their shift.

"So…are you and that bartender dating?" Charlie asked. Castiel balked and stared at her.

"I…wh…huh?" She smiled at Castiel's stuttering.

"Ah…is that a yes?"

"No. That…Dean and I are just friends."

"Suuuure you are. You know, he keeps looking over here. I think you should ask him out."

"No, I couldn't I just…no." Charlie sighed.

"Fine, guess I'll just ship the two of you." Castiel was about to reply when he saw a small group, only four people, sit at one of his tables.

"Come on, it's show time." Castiel walked over and did his usual spiel about the specials and the beers of the month. He let Charlie take a table of two by herself after about three hours. She did a great job. Every time the two of them would leave the bar, however, she would make comments about how Dean had been flirting with him. When Castiel remarked that was how the two always talked and interacted, she lit up. There was one point when Castiel was refilling drinks and she was talking to Dean while glancing over at him. Castiel would have to ask Dean about that.

"You two are officially my OTP." Castiel tilted his head and squinted. He had no idea what that meant.

"Your what?"

"OTP! My…" Chuck walked over.

"How's it been going?"

"Great. She took a table by herself and got everything perfect."

"Fantastic. Charlie, I'm going to get you out of here because I think Dean is about ready to take over the bar himself."

"Awesome, so tomorrow, same time?"

"Yeah, and I think Castiel will be here again, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"Oh good. Bye, Castiel!" Charlie gave him an enthusiastic wave and bounced away from him with Chuck. He liked her. Castiel walked over and leaned on the bar to talk to Dean.

"I like her." Dean said, walking over to Castiel. The bar was practically empty besides a regular, Rufus Turner, at the other end of the bar.

"Yeah, she was very…interesting wasn't she?"

"She seemed to think that I was flirting with you." Castiel felt a blush creep up on his neck.

"Oh…um…she did? Well that was funny of her wasn't it?"

"Funny if it wasn't true." Castiel stared at Dean for a long moment. Dean stared back, but began to speak quickly. "I um…I mean, of course it isn't true. You know how I am, Cas. Just that kind of person. Friendly and…"

"Have you been flirting with me?" Castiel whispered. Not willing to believe it. Sexy, incredible guys like Dean Winchester didn't flirt with guys like him. He was awkward, and the only time he really socialized was at work, and even then he did his job. He didn't linger at tables. He was the opposite of Dean. Dean interacted with people, and got phone numbers on a nightly basis. He was interesting. Castiel was about as boring as they came.

"Well, yeah, of course I have. Have you seen yourself, Cas?" The blush came up to Castiel's cheeks.

"I…I uh…"

"Look, I'm off tomorrow night, and I know you'll probably be off around the same time, so, if I were to be at a bar, a different bar, The Roadhouse, at around nine-thirty, would you meet me there?" Castiel grinned as wide as he could, and Dean followed suit.

"Yeah, I um…I think I could."

"It's about damn time you two figured out this sexual tension." Chuck laughed behind them.

"What?! Did everybody know but us?"

"Hell yeah, everybody knew!" Rufus called from the end of the bar. Dean chuckled and smiled at Castiel.

"Well, come on, Castiel, let's get you out of here. You need to rest up for your big date tomorrow night." Chuck smiled and walked away. Castiel looked at Dean and smiled.

"I'll see you tomorrow night. Goodnight, Dean."

"Night, Cas." Dean leaned over and gave Castiel a kiss on the cheek.

Castiel couldn't stop smiling the rest of the night.
