Cas rang the doorbell, ignoring Dean's comments about the home resembling the white house. Luckily, Gabriel answered the door. He wasn't the easiest guy to get along with but he was still more likable than the rest of Cas's family.
"Cassssie your home and you bought… I mean brought a guest. You must be Cass' boy toy." Gabriel said, leaning against the door frame. His eyes fixed on Dean, giving him an almost lustful glare. For some reason Cas started to blush.
"And you must be the butler," Dean said, sounding a bit irritated.
Gabriel laughed, "Because I love Downton Abbey, I am taking that as the complement, I am Gabriel. Castiel's slightly older, more attractive brother." He extended a hand to Dean.
Cas rolled his eyes, this wasn't going as bad his thought it would. He had his money on there being bloodshed within the first five minutes of Dean meeting any member of the family, but the day was still young.
"Aren't you just full of yourself," Dean muttered. "I am Dean," he said as his extend his arm and shook Gabriel's hand. Gabriel quickly pulled free from Dean's tight grip.
Gabriel, still rubbing his hand, turned to Cas, "Can't wait for the fam to meet this one. Naomi's going to love him," Cas couldn't tell if Gabriel was be sincere or sarcastic. "This weekend is gone be fun." Gabriel added as he guided them inside.
"I am regretting this already," Cas mumbled as they stepped into this house.
Dean gently grabbed Cas's arm, "Cas, what was he talking about?" he said when Gabriel was out of earshot.
"Nothing as usual," Cas could see Dean was worried. In all honesty Cas was worried to. He always thought his family was going to dislike Dean for his lack of status. However, he never considered that they might hate him for the type of person he was. Outspoken, honest and sometimes sarcastic. All the traits that made him so different from Cas, all the qualities Cas loved about Dean. When they first met Cas was a little taken aback by Dean's honesty. Cas grew up in house of lies, fake smiles and empty prayers. But Dean, Dean had never lied to him, not once. Okay, so Dean wasn't really outspoken about his feelings, but at least Cas knew Dean had feelings. Unlike his step-monster who's heart was made of stone.
He had to get through this weekend for Dean, the most important person in his life.
He was lost in his thoughts until he heard the sound of class breaking.
