That night Cas could barely think. He had been so overwhelmed and flustered for so long having to deal with Gabe and his craziness about the proposal to his girlfriend, and then bam. There was a sexy green eyed man named Dean that he felt like he had already fallen in love with. Then, he had a date with him the next day and he was worried that he would fuck it up somehow.
When Cas woke up to his cat scratching at the door, he didn't want to get up. He didn't want to go to work and he certainly didn't want to have to deal with more of Gabe's insanity, but then he remembered what he was doing at noon. He was going to see Dean again, and he couldn't possibly be more thrilled. He quickly jumped out of bed and took a shower before getting dressed and heading to work. He was way too excited about the coffee date he had later to eat anything that morning. After so long of working as a wedding planner, he had started to get depressed. He had never found anyone that he thought he could have the kind of relationship he wanted with. He wanted to find someone to share everything with, and someone to make coffee for every morning. Someone that would love him for every strength and every weakness. He wanted someone who he could take care of in sickness and in health, and they would do the same for him no matter what. He just wanted to find that someone. Although, he also knew that that would probably never happen. He knew that he made up a fairytale love fantasy in his head and it wasn't something that would just come around one day... But then he walked into Winchester Jewelry, and even though he met Dean for total of an 45 minutes, he felt a little bit more like that fantasy could one day be a reality.
At exactly noon, Cas walked into Jo's Coffee. The bell above the door jingled and Cas could smell the heavenly coffee the minute he came inside. He ordered two coffees from the blonde girl behind the counter and went to sit at a small table by a window. Just a few moments later, Dean walked in. He was even more gorgeous than Cas remembered. His dark and short blonde hair just stuck up a little bit and his green eyes matched the green and black flannel he was wearing with a black t-shirt and jeans. He walked to the counter and briefly talked to the blonde haired girl before he noticed Cas, and his whole face lit up. He walked over to the table and sat down, smiling.
"Hey, Cas," Dean said. Cas smiled at him. Why did Cas love Dean's voice so fucking much?
"Hello, Dean," Cas replied. Dean licked and bit his bottom lip the same way he did the day before, and it took all of Cas' strength not to shove Dean against that wall and kiss him so hard that they would both forget what day it was.
"So has your brother proposed to his girlfriend yet? He seemed kinda nervous about it yesterday," Dean said.
"No I don't think he has yet, unfortunately. He has been really nervous about it but he has no reason to be. Hannah really loves him and I know she'll say yes. She talks to me all the time about her 'perfect wedding' and how I MUST be the planner no matter when the wedding is and who it's with. I guess Gabe has finally caught on," Cas said with a small chuckle.
"Seems like she really wants to get married. Surprised it took him until yesterday to buy a ring," Dean said, laughing a little as well. "So you're a wedding planner?"
"Yup. Have been for a while now. I love it, just sometimes it gets to me a little," Cas replied.
"Actually, I know exactly what you mean. I've owned that store for three years now, selling engagement rings every day and I've never been married myself. Never even come close," Dean said. "It gets a little tiring sometimes, seeing so many people with a kind of relationship I have never had." Cas could barely believe his ears. He had never met someone who even remotely understood what he was thinking or feeling about his life and his work like that.
"Wow," was what all Cas could say.
"What? Sorry did I say something wrong or... Something?" Dean said, sounding worried.
"Oh! No, it's just that I have never met someone who really understood what I've been going through. It's kind of amazing," Cas said.
"Oh, phew. I was afraid I blew it for a second there," Dean said, smiling again, just the way Cas liked it.
"Absolutely not. Can't get rid of me that easy," Cas said.
"Does this mean you're stalking me now?" Dean teased back. Cas blushed and they laughed together. It felt so right to be there with Dean. They sat there for hours, just talking. Talking about their lives, their childhood, their families, their jobs. They joked and laughed and it was probably one of the best days of Cas' life, regardless of the fact he was meant to go back to work right after his lunch break.
