A fresh dust of snow blanketed the wet layers beneath as the afternoon sun sat high in the sky. The white shined with the light of a million crystals. The spectating angel's heart fluttered excitedly. His eyes shining similarly.
"Dean, it snowed!" Castiel came running to the table where Dean sat drinking a bottle of beer.
"So? It's been snowing for a while," Dean said raising an eyebrow and looked up at the angel.
Castiel folded his arms, "I want to go out and see it."
The hunter sighed and leaned back in his chair, "make sure to dress warm. Don't need your wings freezing off."
"I want you to come with me." The angel pouted.
"Better give him what he wants Deano." Gabriel said walking into the room with Sam right next to him, "He's mastered the puppy face by now."
"Why do you want to go out there so badly anyways Cas?" Dean asked running a hand through his sandy blonde hair.
"I want to build a snowman." The angel answered with a smile.
"That's not a bad idea," Sam interrupted, "Why don't we all go build one together?"
Dean put his hands up in surrender, "Alright, fine whatever. Looks like I'm out numbered. Go get ready and we'll all go out and build a freaking snowman."
Castiel's smile widened and he grabbed Dean's hand, "Will you help me get ready?"
A small blush crossed the hunters cheeks and he gave a nod, "Yeah, come on."
"Why do I have to wear so much stuff?" Castiel asked as Dean wrapped a second scarf around the angel's neck.
"We can't have you getting sick, besides you'll thank me later." Dean slipped his own leather jacket on and a pair of gloves he looked at Cas and smiled. "Come on let's get this over with." The hunter felt the angel grab his hand and pull him towards the door.
As the angel stepped outside his eyes lit up and a smile spread across his face, everything was white and perfect; all the snow glistened as the rays of sunlight touched down on it. "It's so beautiful." Cas said under his breath.
Meanwhile Gabriel and Sam were across the yard laughing at how Cas looked like a giant marshmallow with all the layers of clothing and coats he had on. "Hey Castiel think you have enough coats on?" Gabriel shouted as Sam leaned against a tree laughing so hard he needed support to stay standing. The angel blushed from embarrassment and looked at Dean he pulled a few of his coats off and tossed them to the ground.
Dean sighed, "Aw Cas don't listen to them, their just being dicks."
The angel stripped all his coats off until all that was left of them was his tan trench coat.
"That's better, now let's build that snowman!" Gabriel shouted with a grin as he grabbed some snow and formed it into a ball.
"Cas and I will build the bottom." Dean grabbed some snow doing the same as Gabriel did.
"I can make the head." Sam volunteered.
"Guess that leaves me with the middle." Gabe said as he began rolling his snow ball on the ground.
As soon as everyone agreed on who was doing what they all began building their pieces, Dean helped Cas roll around the snowball and as they worked together the snowball got bigger and bigger. Pretty soon it was big enough for the bottom of the snowman and Dean asked the other two to bring over their pieces. As they all began stacking the pieces Dean asked Cas to go find some sticks and buttons for the snowman's face. So the angel was off, he gathered an armful of sticks and all the buttons he could find inside.
By the time Cas had returned the snowman was stacked, and he couldn't help but giggle and how crooked and unproportional the snowman was. It sat at a slant with a very small head and the middle piece being bigger than the bottom piece. The angel put a gloved hand to his mouth to try and muffle his laughter. "Isn't it awesome?" Sam said with a grin as he took a step back to admire their work. "Dude, it doesn't even look like a snowman." Dean said as he looked over at his younger brother. Cas hurried closer and began to put buttons on for the eyes he grinned, "I think it looks perfect." Dean grabbed two sticks from Cas and put them in for the arms, "I guess it's not too bad." Sam grabbed some smaller buttons from Cas and began putting them in for the mouth, as they finished they all stepped back to admire their creation. Cas's eyes lit up he grinned, "It looks great guys!"
"I think it's missing something." Gab put a finger to his chin in thought. He smirked as he grabbed a two more sticks and stuck them on top of the Snowman's head so it looked like moose antlers, "There we go! Now it kind of looks like Sam." Dean and Cas erupted into laughter while Sam was less than pleased with his boyfriend. "That looks nothing like me!"
"Oh lighten up Samsquatch, I'm only joking. Besides you look much better than that pile of snow." Gabriel winked. Sam's cheeks flushed a light pink and he crossed his arms across his chest.
"Ew, what do you say we get inside before they begin to make out Cas?" Dean grabbed his angels hand and walked back towards the door inside.
When the two had gotten inside they stripped off all their wet layers of clothing and Dean grabbed a blanket wrapping it around Cas's shoulders. The angel had started to shiver when he stepped into the warmer air of the bunker. His hatred for the cold beginning to return now that the fun was over.
"Here, want some hot chocolate?" Dean asked.
The angel gave a nod and a smile, "yes please."
The hunter walked off to make hot chocolate for the two of them while Castiel sat in front of the fire holding the blanket close to him to stay warm. By the time Dean had finished making two cups of hot chocolate for his boyfriend he walked out to find Cas singing Silent Night to himself. Not wanting to interrupt the angel's singing Dean took soft foot steps towards Cas setting his hot chocolate on the ground next to him. Cas stopped as he saw Dean set the hot chocolate down he looked up at the man with pretty blue eyes and grinned.
"Thank you Dean." The angel said and picked up his mug of the hot liquid bringing it up to his lips and taking small sips.
Grinning the hunter sat down next to the angel, "No problem Cas." Dean brought his cup up to his lips to take a sip, but paused and looked over at his angel. "Cas, would you sing again?"
A blush crossed the angels face, "What would you like me to sing?"
Dean gave a shrug, "Something beautiful and Christmasy."
Castiel gave it a little thought and then began singing Holy Night, and before he even got to finish the song he found Dean asleep his head leaning against the angels shoulder. Smiling the angel finished the last few notes and kissed the top of the hunter's head, "O night, O night divine."
