Onwards...
'Here you go, buddy'
Dean watched, with a smile on his face, as he handed Castiel a little green mug of orange juice, the little angel's blue eyes lighting up.
As he slurped his drink, Dean shared a glance with his brother. Sam was sat next to Gabriel, cutting his toast into four little squares, just the way the archangel liked it.
The older Winchester pretended to wipe a tear from his eyes. 'It seemed like only yesterday I was holding his bottle.' He put his hand on his chest and sighed theatrically.
Sam scoffed.' Well, two days ago, you did hold his bottle' he grinned.
Dean nodded, letting his glance go back to the small angel, who was trying to eat his cereal with two fingers, flinging the contents of his spoon everywhere.
'They grow up fast' he sighed, in a more serious note, low enough so Sam couldn't hear him.
Castiel leaned forwards on his elbows, blue eyes shining as he grinned toothily at Dean. He fished around his pocket before pulling a small object out.
Dean leant forwards, eyes narrowed.
'Looky, Dean!' beamed Cas. 'Another one!' he held up a little pearly tooth, which must have fallen out sometime in the night.
Dean grinned. 'Wow! Another toothy' he gently took it from the angel, studying it. 'The tooth fairy will have good fun grinding this down into fairy dust.' He smiled faded when Cas gave him a confused look.
'I never told you that?'
Castiel shook his head.
Dean thought about this. His dad never told him or Sam about the tooth fairy; they had bigger, real things to worry about; John Winchester never cared for such nonsense. Dean had four blissful years of his mothers care; she did believe in the tooth fairy. And the same with Santa; Dean had begged his father to let Sam be, to let him think Santa brought the toys. That lasted all of 5 years. Now he had the chance to make the world that little bit brighter for his small angel.
So what the hell?
'When little boys and girls lose their teeth, you put it under your pillow and the Tooth Fairy comes to take it away. She grinds it down and makes it into fairy dust.' Dean spoke with an enthusiasm that shocked Sam, and he leaned into hear his brothers story, something no one had ever told him before.
He shared a smile with Gabriel, the archangel watching him with a toast filled mouth, eyes wide, hanging on to his every word.
'It's what makes their wings work'
'Wow' breathed the blue eyed angel. He gently took his tooth from Dean, holding it as if was made of gold.
'Go put it somewhere safe.'
'Okay' Cas got up from his seat, Soggy in tow, before skipping off to put it on the table next to Dean's bed. He came back, a big smile on his face, a small dimple on his chin obvious.
Sam cleared his throat. 'You wanna go to the park now?' he asked, Gabriel dropping his last piece of toast.
'Yes, yes yes!' he yelled, running to the door and putting on his shoes. Castiel ran behind him, copying his brother. He watched Gabriel doing up his coat, and he tried to do it himself, tongue sticking out in concentration, black hair flying in all directions.
Sam grinned, watching them both; you could tell they were a thick as thieves; Just like him and Dean used to be.
Dean walked over to them, bending down. He gently took Castiel's zip from him, doing it up. 'Make sure you don't get your jumper caught in it.' he smiled, ruffling the angel's hair.
Sam stood up and walked over to the door.
'Let's go!'
-x-
'Yipee!' Gabriel ran as fast as he could, flinging himself onto the only available swing. Sam had brought them to a small park, with just one swing and a slide. It wasn't much, but it was something for the boys to play on.
Castiel blinked in the bright January morning sunshine, running to a small water fountain that was bubbling in the corner of the park. He put his hand underneath, catching the cold water on his pink little palm.
'Sammy! Come push me!' yelled Gabriel, kicking his legs; even after Dean had taught him to swing back at Bobby's place, he still hadn't got the hang of it.
Sam stretched his long legs and stood behind Gabriel, reaching out and pushing him hard, sending the archangel flying forwards. 'Wee!' he grinned, as Gabriel came hurtling back.
The angel's eyes were shining, brown hair getting his eyes, wiped about by the wind. 'Look, Sam! I'm upside down!' he grinned up a Sam, his head bent backwards, tongue sticking out.
'Your gonna fall off if you keep doing that!' Sam warned him, pushing him again. The eight year old cackled with laughter, kicking his feet.
Dean grinned in their direction and walked over to where Cas was sat, happily splashing to himself. 'You ok, Cas? He asked, squatting down next to the angel.
'Yes.' Cas nodded at him and leaned forwards, pressing a kiss to Dean's cheek. His blue eyes shone brightly and he looked upwards. 'The sky is happy.' He remarked.
Dean watched him, smiling, looking up as well. While Dean was looking up, Castiel turned to look at him. He smiled gently.
'I love you, Dean.' He murmured, reaching forwards with arms open, his small two year old body fitting perfectly in Dean's arms.
Dean stiffened for a moment, before melting in to the hug. ' I love you to, Cas.' He murmured, kissing the top of the angel's head.
He heard he brother call him.
'Dean! We gotta go! Gabriel says he wants lunch!'
Dean sniggered; trust Sam to cater to Gabriel's every whim.
'Ok, Sammy.' Castiel let him go and grabbed his hand, following their brothers as they walked from the park, back to the motel.
Dean hoped they'd be able to move back to Bobby's soon.
-x-
'Gabe! Cas! Bed!'
Dean poked his head around the door, where Gabriel and Castiel were sat on the sofa, watching cartoons.
Cas turned to him and Dean stopped in his tracks. He now sees that Sam may have competition in the Puppy Dog Eyes contest. Castiel's big blue eyes zoned in on his and, biting back a groan, he put his hands on his hips. 'Do you want the tooth fairy to come, or not?'
Cas brightened up immediately, jumping off the sofa, running into his and Gabriel's shared bedroom.
Gabriel groaned, putting his hand to his forehead. 'The dude is so lame.' He muttered, hanging his head as he walked to his room.
Dean ruffled his hair as he went past. 'Don't be mean to your brother' he scolded him, turning and watching them get into bed.
As Castiel settled and put his head on the pillow, Dean walked in and tucked them both in. As they slowly went to sleep, Dean sighed.
Now the waiting started.
-x-
'Dean, go now.'
Dean looked at his brother. 'What if he's awake?'
'Dude, it's been two hours! I think he's asleep' Sam rolled his eyes, not looking up from the TV.
Dean sighed and stood up. He made his way slowly to the angel's bedroom, tiptoeing as he entered the room.
Gabriel snored suddenly and Dean stood stock still in the blackness of the room, listening for anymore sounds. Satisfied they were both asleep, he made his way to Castiel's bed. Bending down, he gently put a hand under his pillow, depositing the quarter, taking out Cas's tooth in return. He smiled and turned to leave.
'Dean?'
Dean startled and turned back to the now awake blue eyed angel, who was watching him.
'Go back to sleep, Cas. I was just checking on you both.' He sat on the edge of his bed, running his hand through his hair, the bed-warm angel leaning into his touch.
'Oh, okay...' Cas sighed sleepily and turned back around, falling asleep again.
Dean breathed out a sigh of relief.
He couldn't wait to see his face in the morning.
Aw- Dean's the Tooth Fairy!
