They walked into what Castiel thought was the most crowded bar he had ever seen. Dean pushed him through the crowds straight toward the bar and pushed him down onto one of the stools. Cas looked around nervously as Sam and Dean sat on either side of him. Sam glanced up at the small stage to the right of the bar and groaned,

"It's karaoke night." He threw his hands up in the air, exasperated.

"Excellent!" Dean exclaimed and grinned at Sam and Castiel.

"What is karaoke?" Cas asked, his big blue eyes turning to Dean.

"Just watch." Dean said as the lights dimmed and a spotlight appeared over the stage illuminating a lone man who already looked to be pretty drunk even though it was still early.

"Dean likes to laugh at the embarassment of others." Sam told Cas as if this explained exactly what was happening. Cas turned to the stage and squinted. He could see a small screen light up with words and the intro to a song started. The man on stage held a microphone to his mouth and began to sing Free's "All Right Now" in a slurred voice.

Dean began tapping his foot and clapping his hands. Castiel was fixated with the smile on Dean's face and found himself smiling along with him. A very big smile. Dean noticed that he was being watched and asked Castiel what was wrong.

"Nothing. You just seem to enjoy it. You should go up and sing." Cas suggested but Dean just laughed and slapped Cas on the back playfully as he turned to the bar to order some drinks.

"I'd have to be very drunk."

"Then let's drink." Cas began to get excited at the prospect of seeing Dean onstage singing.

"Only if you drink with me." Dean raised his eyebrows suggestively and grinned. Castiel accepted the offer.

It didn't take long for Cas to get very drunk as his tolerance for alcohol had gone down to almost non-existent. Dean took a little while longer but even so, it wasn't long until both of them were staggering towards the stage and Sam was shaking his head then hiding it in his hands.

Cas had watched many people before him and Dean do this so he now knew to sing into the microphone the words that appeared on the small screen. Dean had picked the song and the intro to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" filled the bar. Dean looked at Cas as if to ask if he was ready. Cas nodded and they began to sing.

Sam sat at the bar staring at his brother and the former angel and then began to laugh as he saw they were having the time of their lives. Castiel couldn't hit a note and Dean was singing as if he were sitting in his car. He even added in some air guitar.

As the last few notes of the song quietened down, the rest of the bar clapped and wolf-whistled. Dean put his arm around Castiel's shoulders and pulled him into a bow.

The climbed of the stage and staggered back over to Sam. They were both grinning from ear to ear but were also exhausted, it had ben a very long day. They decided to head back to Bobby's and Sam took Dean's car keys from him before he even attempted to get behind the wheel.

The drive to Bobby's hadn't taken more than ten minutes but Sam was ready to hit Dean and Cas by the time they were falling in the front door. They had spent the car journey sitting in the back seat singing. They had performed Sweet Home Alabama again, Cas remembered most of the words, and then Dean had begun to teach him the choruses to his favourite classic rock songs.

Sam forced some water into them both before he stalked off to the spare bedroom. Dean fell onto the mattress on the floor and Cas onto the couch and their singing and laughter had died down.

"Maybe we should make this a regular thing. Karaoke night." Dean suggested and looked up at Cas from his position on the floor. Cas chuckled.

"Yes. I like to see you happy." The words were soft and whispered and then his soft snores filled the room.

Dean smiled to himself. In his drunken state, it didn't feel strange that Cas' response had made his stomach flutter.

Note: I have a lot of ideas for this story and sometimes they come to me randomly (like what happened with this one) and I just have to include it.

My best friend read these chapters before I posted them and said she thought the ending to this chapter was cute.

I'm finding it very easy to write this story just now so I'll probably be updating every few days. So read and review and enjoy!
