A/N: Yay, I finally updated this story again! I've been focusing on writing my other story, "Prayer to God" (now complete-you should go read it!). I don't know why, but I've been in a dark mood, so I couldn't think of a "light" chapter to write. Until now ^^ This continues off where Dean and Castiel were planning a picnic. WARNING: It is a trifle bit on the fluffy side (kinda slight Destiel), but hey: I needed to write something happy or I'd go back to writing something dark xD But it's nothing bad, I assure you. So let's get to it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural, even though I really wish I could write an episode :D
It only took Dean a couple of minutes to finish packing the picnic basket. Sam opted to stay in the kitchen while Dean packed everything.
"You're fine with not coming?" Dean asked his brother.
Sam shrugged carelessly. "It's Cas' request, so I'm okay with it," Sam answered. "Besides, I wanted to start researching on a new case."
Dean rolled his eyes at his brother's enthusiasm. "Alrighty then," Dean said and grabbed the picnic basket. "Cas, c'mere!"
Dean grabbed his keys Castiel appeared. The angel was dressed in the light blue dress shirt, and fitted black jeans, along with the blue tie; at least the angel had finally gotten the tie right.
"Are you ready?" Dean asked, standing by the doorway.
"I believe so," Castiel replied.
"Have fun with your angel," Sam smirked, sitting down at the table with his laptop open.
"Shut it bitch," Dean quipped, walking out the door.
"Jerk," Dean heard his brother reply.
"Why do you two call each other so?" Castiel questioned as they got into the car.
"It's a banter thing we just kept," Dean said, shrugging. "Does it bother you?"
"No," Castiel replied. "I was just curious."
"Yeah, that's you Cas," Dean said and gave a chuckle. "Curious as a kitten."
"I'm not a kitten Dean," Castiel replied. "I am an Angel of the Lord."
Dean glanced over, giving his 'really?' look. "It's a figure of speech," Dean said. "Looks like that's something else I'm going to have to teach you."
"That may be the most confusing thing I will have to learn," Castiel said.
"Yeah, well, right now you are going to be enjoying a picnic like a regular human being," Dean said.
"I look forward to it," Castiel said.
It took about fifteen minutes, but they finally got to the park. The sky was blue and the weather was comfortable. They got out of the car and Castiel followed Dean to a place where they wouldn't be crowded by people.
"Are you sure you are okay with this?" Castiel asked as Dean spread out a blanket on the ground.
"'Course I'm sure," Dean replied, putting the basket on the blanket. "Why do you ask?"
Castiel looked at the ground sheepishly. "I did not think you would enjoy doing these things because you have already done them."
"Cas," Dean began, clapping his hands on Castiel's shoulders. "I don't mind doing this, honestly. In fact, I'm glad I'm doing this. You get to learn being a human, and I actually get to spend time relaxing."
Castiel glanced up at Dean. "Thank you."
"Alright, now come sit down," Dean said, motioning to the blanket.
They sat down and Dean waited until Castiel was comfortable.
"What does one do on a picnic?" Castiel questioned.
"Well," Dean said, taking out two sandwiches and handed one to Castiel. "We eat, normally. We enjoy the scenery, and watch clouds."
They began to eat in silence. Dean glanced around, noting how calming the park was. It had been a long time since Dean actually relaxed, actually could not worry, even if it was for an hour or two. Granted Dean did feel slight pity for leaving Sam, he knew that his brother wasn't upset. Dean looked over to Castiel to see the angel was done with his sandwich, too. Frankly Dean was surprised Castiel even decided to eat.
"That one looks like a turtle," Castiel said, snapping Dean out of his reverie.
Dean glanced at the sky, immediately spotting the turtle cloud. "Yeah, it does look like a turtle," Dean chuckled. He glanced to the right slightly. "That one looks like a rabbit."
"I see an eye," Castiel said, pointing to a cloud above the rabbit cloud.
Dean actually let a smile show on his face; Castiel was really into cloud-sighting. "Guess we found you a new hobby," Dean said, lying down on the blanket. He motioned for Castiel to do the same. The two spent their time gazing at the clouds, pointing out different shapes.
"Thank you for doing this with me, Dean," Castiel said, glancing over at Dean.
"It's no problem, Cas," Dean replied glancing from the angel to the sky before closing his eyes.
A moment later he heard Castiel hum in contentment and Dean cracked an eye open to see Castiel resting with his eyes closed. Dean smirked and ran a finger through Castiel's hair, surprised at how soft it was. Castiel's humming turned into purring and Dean grinned.
"Yeah, you're such a kitten Cas," Dean said to himself and then closed his eyes.
He could stay like this.
A/N: Funny thing is, as I was typing this chapter, I was listening to sad music xD So! Drop a review, and I'll get back to writing a new chapter. If you have a certain thing you want to offer as an idea, I can dedicate a chapter to you :D
Until next time!
