An hour after the younger Winchester had left; a certain hunter and his angel had stopped kissing and had paid attention enough to finish wrapping Castiel's presents. All the presents were stacked neatly underneath the tree and Castiel was leaning against Dean admiring the sight.

"This is going to be a great Christmas," Castiel said with a smile.

"Only the best," Dean agreed, smiling down at his angel. He thought for a second, then looked back at Cas and asked, "You wanna do something fun Cas?"

"What do you have in mind?"

"Do you wanna go sabotage our brothers' date?" Castiel rolled his eyes, but he knew there was no way that his boyfriend was just going to let a chance like this slip away. He nodded and they ran over to the coat rack to bundle up for the cold weather.

About five blocks away from the bunker was a park decorated by the city. There were several large Christmas trees, with several small "houses" donated by business with Christmas themes, surrounding the park. In the middle was an ampitheatre playing soft Christmas music that patrons listened to as the walked around and admired the lit up reindeer, "houses", and nativity sets.

Dean drove them there in the Impala and parked down the street so as to keep it away from unwanted eyes. They entered the park looking left and right for Sam and Gabriel. They were heading past a house donated by a local bank that had a"Nightmare Before Christmas" theme inside when Castiel grabbed Dean's hand and jerked him in a different direction. Castiel pushed him passed the nearest nativity set which they hid on just the other side of.

"Woah, Cas, what's going on?" Dean questioned when they had stopped, and Castiel was peering around the plastic stable in the direction they had just come from.

Castiel smiled, "I saw them heading our direction, and I didn't want the game to be up already."

Dean grinned and kissed the top of his boyfriend's head. Castiel turned a fairly bright shade of pink. Sure enough, just moments later, Gabriel and Sam walked passed where they had just come from, hand-in-hand. Gabriel was making big gestures, telling a story about god knows what, and Sam was sipping from the hot chocolate in his free hand, smiling at whatever his angel was saying.

Castiel smiled at them and moved backwards confused when Dean knelt and picked up some snow. He packed it into a ball and stood up grinning. Castiel smacked it out of his hand and looked at Dean. "You said that we were going to spy on them, not torture them."

Dean rolled his eyes, "I said that we were going to sabotage their date. They aren't going to know who threw the snowball."

Castiel grimaced, he wanted to let Dean do what he wanted, and it seemed like fun, "But look at how happy they are Dean? Do you really want to ruin that?"

Dean groaned, "Cas, don't try and make me have a heart now. Just think of this as payback for every single one of the times that Gabriel has ruined a date or a moment we were trying to enjoy."

Castiel thought for a moment, then kneeled down to make his own snowball. Dean grinned and whooped. Castiel glared up at his boyfriend, speaking through his teeth, "They're going to hear you."

The hunter ducked down then looked around the plastic stable. Sam and Gabriel were going just out of sight behind another house. "Cas, hurry up and make that snowball, they're going to be out of range soon. We need to move to a new spot."

The men crouched and ran as fast as they could to behind the house Sam and Gabriel had just passed. The couple were walking slowly and were still fairly close when they looked out from behind the county jail's "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" house. Dean looked at Castiel and whispered to him, "I'm aiming for Sammy, you try and hit Gabe."

Castiel nodded and Dean held up three fingers to count down. When the last one was down they stood and chucked the snowballs, both getting direct hits. They ducked back down before either of the other men had a chance to turn around.

Sam turned around first and scanned the area for any possible source that they snowballs could have come from. He let go of Gabriel's hand and wiped the snow from the back of his head, then brushed the snow off the top of his boyfriend's, laughing when Gabriel scrunched up his nose. He leaned down and kissed his boyfriend's wind-chilled nose. Gabriel grinned, grabbed the front of his jacket and pulled him back in for a real kiss.

Behind the house Dean pretended to gag, much to Castiel's amusement. "Okay, so operation Snowball backfired, it just made them more disgusting."

"What's next on the agenda?" Castiel asked.

Dean grinned, the lights reflecting off his eyes, giving them an almost unnatural shimmer. "Operation Hot Chocolate."

Sam and Gabriel were walking the ampitheatre. Gabriel was singing "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas" with the radio and he was spinning Sam around. They were walking past a sleigh with lights lit up and down the sides. The "Santa" was currently off duty, so this part of the park was really empty.

"I really hope Dean and Cas didn't get too frustrated with the presents," Sam thought aloud.

"Don't worry Samsquatch. You gave them a menial task so that they could have their night together and we could go on our date! They're probably making out by now, completely oblivious to the world."

Sam chuckled, "Yeah. And the lights are fantastic. I'm so glad we came."

Gabriel grinned and went to say something, but was cut off when a little kid came barreling straight towards them screaming.

"SANTA!" The little boy screamed. He bumped into Sam's right hand which was holding the hot chocolate that he had been sipping.

On instinct, Gabriel pulled Sam towards him, and the cup that had been knocked out of Sam's hand flew right behind where Sam was standing, barely missing him, but making a mess out of the ground.

Gabriel looked at the mess on the cement then up at the taller man. "That was almost on you, totally would have ruined the date."

Sam laughed and bent down to kiss Gabriel, "My hero," he muttered sarcastically.

Standing down near the amphitheatre behind a tower of empty presents Castiel was trying to calm down his fuming boyfriend. "Damn you angels." He cursed.

Castiel smacked him over the head. "Be quiet or they'll hear you. And I take that offensively."

Dean smiled sheepishly, "Sorry Cas."

Castiel just shook his head, "Dean, it seems that everything you've been trying to utilize to sabotage the date is just pushing them closer together."

"Thanks Cas, I really needed that morale boost," Dean grumbled.

Cas chuckled, "Listen, give me a minute and let me think of something."

Dean stared at Cas incredulously. "You're going to think of something evil enough to sabotage this date?"

Castiel nodded enthusiastically. Dean stepped forward, towering over his boyfriend. "Wow, I like this new side of you Cas. You should show it more often."

Castiel blushed and looked at the ground grinning from ear to ear. He pulled away from Dean so that he could start thinking. A few minutes later, when Sam and Gabriel were well out of sight, he looked at Dean, a mischievous glint in his eye.

Half an hour later all of the power in the square cut. The block went completely black. A few people screamed, and a few kids started crying. Castiel immediately felt bad about his decision to try and ruin the date.

A generator kicked in and over the PA system a confused voice boomed throughout the square. "Um.. So. It's time for the Couple's Festival to begin. If I could ask that all of the families carefully walk towards the exits of the area, and the couple gather near the amphitheatre trees and we'll begin… Early."

A few people laughed and everyone instantly began moving. Dean and Castiel sought out their brothers and followed them towards the square. They were holding hands again and laughing about something Dean and Cas hadn't heard. The snuck close enough to hear them.

Gabriel suddenly turned towards Sam and stopped him. "Actually, we're heading towards the couple's festival. I showed up here early to make one of these." He pulled one of the older times silver candle holders from behind his back. "It's a weird human tradition here. You inscribe the name of you and your soul mate and place it on the tree at the festival and it's supposed to bring you good luck in your relationship."

Gabriel looked down kind of embarrassed. "I thought it would fun to do."

Sam laughed a little bit and leaned down to kiss his boyfriend. "Why are you only this sweet when no one is looking?"

"But there are," Gabriel grinned. "And I made a candle holder for idiots who have been following us all night trying to mess this night up for us."

Sam rolled his eyes and put on a bitchface. "Dean, Cas. Come out."

Dean walked out grinning from ear to ear and Castiel looked embarrassed to have been found.

"So you're the reason that things have being going awry all night?" Sam accused.

Dean just smiled at his brother, "Who else is gonna make sure you have at least one bad date Sammy?"

The human brothers bickered while Castiel just stepped forward to grab the candle holder that his brother was holding out to him. "There you go Cas. You ready for the festival?" Gabriel grinned.

Castiel nodded and opened his mouth to apologize to Gabriel about their date. Gabriel just shushed him. "Cas, you didn't even get close to ruining our date. Grab your hunter and let's go."

The angels grabbed their hunters by the arms and dragged them in the direction of the amphitheatre. Several other couples were wandering around the trees trying to choose which one they wanted to place their candle holder on.

Gabriel immediately ran to the beautifully decorated, tall, frosted tree in the center of the rest of them. "Sammy! This one, we should put in on this one!"

Sam laughed and took the candle holder from his boyfriend putting it high up on tree out of Gabriel's reach. Gabriel pouted until Sam leaned over to kiss him as he finished putting the handle around a branch. When they were done, they stared over at their brothers waiting for them to follow suit.

Castiel and Dean had left to look around at the trees. It took them a few minutes before they decided on the one around the outskirts of the trees. It was short, and had an angel topper. Dean took half the candle holder in his hand and together they placed theirs on the tree. Then Dean turned and kissed Castiel.

"We may not have ruined their date," Dean mumbled, "But coming here was a really good idea."

Castiel smiled, "Merry Christmas Dean."
