I would have laughed at the pure look of horror on Castiel's face, but I was interrupted by the sound of clopping heels heading my way. Shit, it's Janet.

She storms over at an alarming rate, and unfortunately for me, I was seen and could not make a strategic escape. "You have some nerve coming back here Dean Winchester" I was surprised her head didn't spin a 180, she looked possessed.

"Look here I am in the middle of something Janet, as you can clearly see, we will talk later."I really didn't want to talk to her at all.

"I deserve an explanation!" All eyes were on us. Usually, being the center of attention was my thing, but Janet was a bitch and God honest truth, would never sleep with her again, not even as a booty call.

"The explanation Is that I am not into you" I shug "Now if you excuse me, I was talking to someone."

"Who..Castiel? He barely talks as it is, he is not important right now." Janet scoffed and waved absently in Castiel's direction. "Go and do your job, Castiel. There are still paintings in the back that need to hung up."

Castiel nodded quickly and tried to walk away, but I grabbed him by the arm. "He is not going anywhere, and I suggest you stop treating him like dirt. He is a very talented-"

Out of nowhere lips crashed against mine, at first I thought it was Janet's, but it was Castiel. I am kissing Castiel!?

Castiel pulls away and smirks at Janet. "I am a talented kisser" Castiel turned to me and gave me a warning glare, and I obediently shut my mouth, in far too much shock to say anything anyway. "So back off. He is not interested in you because he is interested in me." He grabs my hand and pulls me along out of the gallery. "I am taking an early lunch, not like you care anyway."

As I was pulled along I saw the look of pure shock on Janet's face and I could not help but smile wide. "Did you see her face that was hysterical!" I say when we walk outside. "Hey! Wait! You weaseled your way out of the game! that is not fair!"

"Would you rather have Janet cussing you out then stalking you for the rest of her life? The last two boyfriends of hers filed a restraining order AND moved out of the city. I can tell you that that's no coincidence." Castiel shrugs "Though I am not sure If she believed us… you might need to come by more often… just in case."

I smirk a bit, wrapping my arms around Castiel's waist "Are you just saying that because you enjoy my company?"

"Absolutely not. Look here, Dean, you are not my type."

I laugh a bit, I was joking, but it still hurt a bit to be rejected. "So…" I clear my throat. " I still need to tell the world who you are."

"I thought pretending to be your boyfriend was payment enough to keep your mouth shut."

"Wait a second, are you blackmailing me?" I gawk

"Possibly"

"Fine, that won't bother me! I can handle myself just fine!"

"Oh, and I could give Janet your number, maybe even your address…"

I stop dead in my tracks staring at the cold blue eyes which challengingly stared right back. "Oh God, you're serious."

"Deadly."

I sigh, my shoulders sinking a bit. "Fine...Do I need to write up a contract or something in terms of this 'fake boyfriend' business?"

"Consider it a favor as a friend" His facial expression lightens a bit. "Besides, I enjoyed the look on that bitch Janet's face too. So it will be a win-win in my case."

"So..we are friends now?"

"Isn't it obvious? Now, since you ruined the viewing with that fiasco you created, I suppose it is time to go to lunch."

"I did promise you that didn't I?" I chuckle, punching the other in the arm playfully. "Want to flip a coin again to see who treats?"

Castiel scoffs "With my luck I will lose, so why don't we just pay for our own."

"Nonsense! Fine, I will pay for lunch."

"I didn't ask you to."

"I didn't offer." I smile "Common, I know the owner of a homestyle restaurant nearby. Besides, you wanted to get to know me right? Well first thing is first. I love good food."

"Doesn't everyone?" Castiel chuckles a bit.

"Hey, don't need your sass." I could not help but smile even wider "You coming or what? You are slow!"

"It is not my fault I have smaller steps than you." Castiel mutters at my heels.

" You are such a baby, sheesh" I laugh, but then looked at Castiel, who looked away. Did I hurt his feelings somehow? "Hey..uh"

"It's fine." He cut me off a bit harshly.

"Cas, I'm sorry..If I said something wrong.." I look up to see we made it to the restaurant "Oh look we are here!" I say , trying to change the topic. Which actually seemed to work.

Castiel looked up and gave a small nod "Do they have burgers here?"

"Only the best in the goddamn city!" I laugh, opening the door "Hey Ellen! Table for two!"

I was greeted by a familiar face and a warm smile of an older woman with straw colored hair with a few grey streaks. "Dean Winchester! 'Bout time you showed your face in here! It has been to long!" She walked over and gave me an almost back-breaking hug.

Castiel just stood there, looking a bit confused, but said nothing. I clear my throat a bit before she let go. "Hey, ellen. Sorry about not coming as often, I had a lot of work to do lately."

"Busy doing what? Getting into girl's pants?" Ellen scoffs a bit.

"I like her ' Castiel remarks and my face reddens a bit in embarrassment.

"Ellen that's not funny, I seriously had to work!"

"Oh don't get you pink satin panties in a bunch, Dean. I was only joking." Ellen patted me on the head and grabbed two menus. "Jo! Dean is here! Come say hi and then Seat them!"

It has been ages since I seen Jo, we were childhood friends when Bobby would take us to the cabin up north over the summer. The blonde basically collided into me with a wide toothy grin. "DEAN!" She quickly let go and punched me in the arm. I recoiled in pain and cradle my arm. "That is for missing our camping trip last month!"

"There was a serious computer crash, I didn't mean to..and OW!" I sigh and smile. "We should plan another one. Then you would forgive me right?"

"Of course!" She smiles and starts walking "This way."

I follow her to our seats, Cas following not too far behind. "She your girlfriend?" Castiel asks, his tone a little off sounding

"What no!" Jo laughs "Dean winchester is far too playboy for me! If anything I would rather go for his brother, Sam. "

"Should I take insult to that? 'Cause 'playboy' is just a way of saying every man wishes they were me!"

Jo shakes her head and laughs again. "Whatever, I will leave you two to look over the menu, I have other customers to attend to." She walked away, leaving Cas and I alone again.

"So..You have a brother?" Cas remarks "Younger or older?"

"Younger, but the freak is taller than me so everyone thinks he is older."

"I see…"

"Do you have any siblings?"

"Seven"

"Holy shit seven!? Really!?"

"Yes, but I only really talk to one of them, and even then…" His voice trailed off a bit. "I would rather not talk about that." Castiel sat up straight and looked at the menu silently.

I shuffle a bit, feeling awkward at the silence" So uh...Favorite color?"

Castiel looked me in the eyes, creeping me out a bit. "Uh…well…?"

"It is hard to describe, even more difficult to paint." He notes cryptically.

Well, that ended as fast as it started. "Well, mine is blue..case you were wondering.." I clear my throat a bit "Favorite food?"

"Burgers. Yourself?"

"Pie. Any kind really. Pie, I swear to god is the best thing mankind has ever created. Well that and Rock music."

Castiel chuckles a bit. "Favorite song?"

"Well, it is a tie of Zep's 'Rambling On' or 'Traveling Riverside Blues' "

"Interesting choice. I prefer ACDC myself, but I listen to classical when I paint."

"Cool, Cool"

"What are you ordering, there are so many burger choices I can't decide…"

I smile a bit "The heaven Burger. Deep fried goodness. It's a burger with bacon, cheese curds, onion rings, relish, thousand island dressing and topped off with a fried pickle."

"That sounds like a heart attack on a bun." Castiel grins. "I will get the same."
