AN: In case you where wondering this is what I think their house would look kinda like .
Dean and Cas are 25 it's around August
"This is a good thing, Cas," Dean consoles him as they get ready for their dinner date.
Cas and his twin had been talking every few weeks for about a month now and Castiel had finally agreed to get together. It was a huge step forward for the two of them, considering how persistent Jimmy was being about fixing this; or at the very least making it better. His fiancée and him where going to be in the area, since they were heading to Portland to visit Amelia's grandparents.
"I can't do this," Cas huffs, giving up on tying his tie and sitting down on the bed dejectedly staring at his hands.
"You're being over dramatic here, babe." He forces Cas back to his feet and sets about doing up his tie for him.
"Hardly," he rolls his eyes, not making eye contact with Dean, "You met him before, he can be impossible."
"Must be a family trait, then," Dean chuckles as he pats Cas's tie flat and admires his handy work. He falls serious, tilting Cas's chin so he can look at him, "It's been a long time since high school," he reminds, "People change."
"I suppose so…" Cas mumbles.
"I know so," He sternly looks at him, before smiling, "Now cheer up or I'm going to call you Salmon for the rest of the night," he winks.
"You wouldn't."
"You know I would," he smirks leaning towards the other man, "Now turn that frown upside down," Dean jokes as he brings their lips together briefly.
Cas gives an almost smile as they pull apart, which works for Dean.
"Anytime you wanta leave, just let me know and we'll go ok?"
"Thank you, Dean," he looks up at him.
"Let's go," Dean nudges him, the pair heading down the stairs and out of the house.
It was a warm summer evening, the breeze rolling off the ocean as the couple walked hand in hand to one of the fanciest restaurants in town. The walk is a short one and they wait outside, Cas looking around apprehensively for any sign of his brother; holding tight to Dean's hand.
"You need to calm down," Dean whispers softly to Cas.
"I am calm," he deadpans.
"Right," he nods, "You break my hand, you can explain just how calm you where to my boss," he chuckles.
"They're here," Cas states, ignoring Dean's comment as he squeezes Dean's hand before releasing it. The taller man placing the freed hand at the small of Cas's back.
"Castiel," Jimmy greets, awkwardly wanting to go for a hug, but deciding on a hand shake instead.
"James," Cas greets coolly, he felt more in control of the situation of he didn't nicknames.
"You remember Amelia," He points to his soon to be wife.
She smiles brightly shaking his hand, "It's so good to see you again."
"This is Dean," Cas introduces, even though they all went to school together.
"Dean Winchester," Jimmy nods in surprise, "Wow," they shake hands.
"Yep, the one and only," Dean smirks cockily, "Shall we?" he asks holding the door as they head into the restaurant and following after Cas.
Once they are seated it begins, Jimmy had changed a bit, but still wore the similar preppy style as he did in high school as did Amelia.
"I had such a crush on you in high school," She admits, humorously to Dean.
"Should I be jealous?" Jimmy smiles easily, which is just one of the countless differences between the twins.
"Jimmy, that was ages ago." Amelia shakes her head.
"We grew up," Dean shrugs.
"I'll say," he agrees, "No hard feelings about anything," Jimmy states meaningfully to Dean.
"Don't worry about it," he waves it off, resting his arm on the back of Cas's chair, while he takes a pull from his beer, "People change, hell I'm not the same person I was then."
"None of us are," Cas stoically interjects, looking at his brother.
"So, you two set the date?" Dean asks, changing the subject.
"Ya," Jimmy looks at Amelia, "I think we have…"
"Yes," she confirms, "It will be in March, you two are invited of course," Amelia smiles.
"Where will it be?" He asks,
"Portland, I have family ther…." She starts when Cas cuts her off.
"Will Raphael be there?" Cas stares intently at his brother.
"I've been meaning to talk to you about that Cassie," he starts, receiving a death glare at the use of his nick name.
"I'm going to powder my nose," Amelia, smiles to hide the alarm as she gives Dean a look.
"Ya, I'm gunna head to the restroom myself," Dean stands to join her as they head off to the back of the eatery.
"He's not going to be there, Castiel," Jimmy assures his brother, "After the thing with mom, I decided to go talk to someone and…" he trails off sighing weightily.
"And…" Cas prods, swallowing.
"He was a poisonous influence and even Amelia could see it, I cut him out." He looks up at Cas, "I know it took me long enough and I was stupid, but I am truly sorry."
Castiel just nods in understanding, wishing he could leave or freeze time for a second.
"I'm trying to do the right thing now; I'm atoning for what I did to you Castiel."
"I forgave you a long time ago, Jimmy," he sighs, "I just don't know how to be your brother anymore."
"That makes two of us," he smiles sadly as they are silent for a beat, the mood shifting to something more pleasant once again. "Michael was asking about you," Jimmy informs him.
"Oh?"
"Yea, you'll see him if you come to the wedding."
"We'll see," Cas replies, Jimmy just happy that it's not a definite no.
"You seem really happy, with," he motions to where Dean was sitting.
"I am," he smirks a little.
"How long?"
"Since graduation," Cas admits.
"That's great," Jimmy smiles whole heartedly.
"How's the job?" he asks as the two fall into a normal conversation pattern.
"We might have to move to Chicago," he sighs, clearly unsure about it, "Not till after the wedding of course, but still."
"Change of scenery is always good," Cas nods as Dean and Amelia rejoin them.
"Dean was just telling me that they can see the ocean from their back yard," Amelia tells Jimmy.
"Ya, Castiel mentioned that before," he nods, "It must be something, huh?"
"It's great man," Dean smiles, placing his hand discreetly on Cas's thigh, "We can go to the beach whenever we want, it gets a little shaky during storms, but nothing we can't handle." He smiles at his boyfriend.
"If you have time, you should come and see the place," Cas offers, clearly trying to make an effort.
"That'd be great," Jimmy nods, sharing an appreciative look with his brother.
