Author's Note: I'm sorry for the long wait but I had so much stuff do to for school and this chapter just didn't want to be written. I rewrote it like 4 times and changed the whole setting twice. I hope you enjoy it. There will possibly be a short fourth chapter/epilogue but nothing else.

Reviews and criticism would be brilliant!

Of Annoying Sisters And Blue Eyes Chapter Three

by RaisaAmiss


When Dean was woken the next time it was not by knocking but by some kind of alarm. Barely awake he lifted his arm and moved it to the nightstand to stop his alarm clock. The alarm was still blaring after Dean repeatedly pressed the snooze button so he lifted his head to see why it was not working. His hand closed around the clock and brought it closer to his face only to realise it was not in fact the alarm clock but the fire alarm of the apartment building that interrupted his sleep. His gaze fell to the display of the alarm. 4:27 AM. It was weird how he was kind of used to being woken up at unusual times after 2 days of Anna banging on his door. Shaking his head to get rid of the thought he moved to get up. If it really was the fire alarm he should probably get out of there. He was about to grab a shirt when the oddly familiar knocking on his door began. It stopped after a moment but it was enough to get his attention. The clothing forgotten he walked out of his bedroom to open the door. He kind of expected Anna to stand there so he wasn't very surprised about the redhead bouncing up and down on his doorstep. The grin that appeared on her face when she saw him, standing in front of her in just his sweatpants, was unexpected though.

"Oh, good, you are okay", she said. "Had me and Cas worried for a moment. C'mon then." Without hesitating she took ahold of his wrist and dragged him out of his apartment. Taken by surprise by both the comment and the action he needed a moment to think about something else than that Cas had been worrying about him.

"Wait a sec", he said and shook his wrist out of Anna's hold. He grabbed his key from beside the door and hastily slipped into his boots before he walked back outside, closing the door in the process.

"'S Cas already downstairs?", he asked as he followed her and his upstairs neighbour to the stairs. The grin on Anna's face reappeared at that comment before she nodded.

"He went to talk to somebody who is supposed to know something about this mess."

Dean was just about to ask why the hell she was grinning when she said that, but then his eyes landed the tired looking man leaning against the glass wall next to the door of the apartment building. He found himself smiling as he followed Anna to her brother. Castiel's head snapped up as the door opened and the two of them stepped through. His eyes flickered over Anna, apparently checking for injuries or something before wandering over to Dean and doing the same. He looked relieved when his gaze moved up to meet Dean's.

"Hello Dean", he spoke after a moment, one corner of his mouth tugging up into something that could be called the beginning of a smile. Anna cleared her throat and Castiel's eyes lingered on Dean for a second longer before moving to his sister.

"So?", she prompted Castiel to talk. "What about the alarm?"

"Oh, yes, the landlord said it was some kind of mistake. Apparently there is something wrong with the system that caused it to go off without there being any smoke or fire. Everything is alright and I believe everyone has been informed." He sent her a small smile that had Dean's heart skip a beat even though it was not directed at him.

"So I got up for nothing?", grumbled Anna and glared at her brother. When he just nodded her glare increased into something that probably sent lesser man stumbling backwards. Castiel though just raised his eyebrows.

"I'm going back to bed now", Anna declared after a moment of silence. She snatched the keys out of Castiel's grip and before either man could say anything wrenched open the door and nearly ran up the stairs.

Dean turned back to Castiel to find blue eyes fixed on his bare torso. The intensity of the stare made him squirm a little and he cleared his throat to get Castiel's attention. The latter seemed to realise he had been caught staring and blushed while averting his gaze. Dean's light chuckle only seemed to increase the blush and he really needed to think about something that did not involve Castiel being adorable otherwise he would start to blush or to grin without a apparent reason.

"There is no way I'll be able to go back to sleep now, so...", he hesitated for a second, "do you like, want to go grab a coffee or something?"

Castiel looked back up again and smiled, the blush still visible on his cheeks. "I'd love to."

Dean tried to ignore the weird but good feeling in his chest caused by Castiel's smile and failed. "Let me just get a shirt and my wallet and then we can go, okay?"

The blue eyed man just nodded and watched Dean walk back inside. And if he noticed that Dean was back outside after not even 2 minutes and was slightly out of breath, he didn't mention it.
