Day 29: Doing Something Sweet
Title: Be Mine
Summary: Dean turns into a stuttering wreck when it comes to expressing his feelings. So when Valentine's Day comes up, he knows he's screwed...(Cas doesn't make it any easier for him either).
Notes: Second to last day! Can you believe it? Because I sure can't.
Castiel had always known Dean Winchester was not one to be particularly expressive with his feelings. He preferred to keep them bottled up, sealed away in the deepest part of his subconscious and kept away from others at all costs. Hell, it had taken the hunter four years to pluck up the courage to sputter out an awkward, nervous love confession to the angel he'd been in love with ever since he gripped him tight and raised him from Perdition.
So when he opened the door of their bedroom in the bunker (yes, it was now known as their room instead of Dean's since Cas spent more time in there than anywhere else) and found a flustered Dean with a heart shaped box clutched in one hand and a red, cheap-looking card fisted in the other.
"Dean?" Cas said in puzzlement, cocking his head in a questioning manner and making the hunter's face turn even redder (if that was even possible...).
"It's February the fourteenth, and Sam wouldn't get off my back if I didn't get you anything, and I only had ten bucks on me when we were at the store, and I didn't want to get you a stuffed animal because you're not a chick, so I got you chocolate even though I don't know if you like it, but if you don't, I'll just eat it for you, and I know I'm just rambling, but I just wanted to say happyvalentine'sdayCasIloveyou." Dean puked all the words out in only two breaths before shoving the two foreign objects into the angel's hands. Cas studied the crinkled card long and hard before carefully opening it, surprised to see two simple words inside:
Be Mine.
"Dean, I don't understand..." Cas said with a crinkled brow, glancing up only to find Dean pointedly looking anywhere but him, "I already am yours. I always have been."
At his truthful declaration, Dean tried to cover up his face-splitting grin by faking a cough, looking away sheepishly as he fought to settle his face back into his usual mastered expression.
But just as Dean finally calmed down enough to give him a small smirk, Cas leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, rendering the ever cool and smooth-talking Dean Winchester back into a sputtering mess.
(Cas might or might not have done this on purpose...).
