"Cassie, I'm going out tonight!" Gabriel announced one Wednesday evening as Castiel walked through the door.

Castiel had finally landed himself a job helping out down at the local bookstore selling and shelving books Monday to Friday. It was only his second day on the job but he really enjoyed it. He had always had a love for books and now he had a job where he could explore the realm of his fantasy books that he had adored when he was younger or the books that challenged his mind and set him on a different thought pattern to what he was used to. He loved all books so getting a job where he could be around them for most of the day was a great job for him.

Due to his new job, he hadn't seen Dean since he'd been dropped off after their night together. Of course, Dean had rung as he promised but it seemed Dean was busy with his brother or band practice which Castiel knew was important to Dean. Even though they had only spent a couple of days together, it was obvious to Castiel that Sam was number one in Dean's life and that was never going to change and Castiel was fine with that. He wouldn't come between Dean and Sam's relationship. So when Gabriel announced that he was going out tonight, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for Dean to come over and they could spend some time together and watch a movie or something.

"Oh?" Castiel replied as he closed the door behind him and removed his shoes

"Yep! Got a date with a hot woman named Kali" Gabriel replied rather enthusiastically "And don't wait up" he added with a wink.

Castiel chuckled at his brother's enthusiasm. Gabriel was never one to play down his chances.

"Well, have fun" Castiel replied with a soft smile to his brother and with that, Gabriel was gone headed out the door with a pat on Castiel's shoulder.

As soon as he was gone, Castiel plonked himself down on the couch, pulled out his cell and dialled Dean's number. After about the eighth ring, Dean finally answered the phone.

"Hey Cas, I was just about to call you" Dean answered

Castiel wasn't fooled "Uh huh I bet you were. Let me guess, you're playing video games again?" Every night so far, Dean had either rung extremely late at night or Castiel had rung him only to find that Dean had been caught up in his video game and had forgotten to call. Castiel didn't really mind that much, of course he wanted to talk to his boyfriend more but hey they were only new to this and if Castiel was honest with himself, he was a little jealous. Gabriel didn't own a gaming system surprisingly and Castiel didn't have the money to buy one but he had enjoyed them when he was younger playing on their old SEGA system.

"You caught me" Dean replied guiltily "Sorry, it's just this new COD game is really addictive"

Castiel chuckled at Dean trying to defend himself "It's fine Dean, I don't mind. I completely understand how you can get caught up in games and forget to ring your boyfriend" Castiel teased before Dean could retort he carried on with the reason he called "But if you're not doing anything productive this evening, Gabriel has gone out for the night and I was wondering if you wanted to come over and watch a movie or something"

"Hmmmm" Dean hummed through the phone "Tough decision, video games or spending the evening with my boyfriend. I don't know Cas, this game is pretty awesome" Dean joked

"Pleeeeaseeee" Castiel begged "I'll even pick up an apple pie from the bakery on my way back from the video store"

"That's more like it" Dean replied "What time you want me?"

Castiel glanced down at his watch seeing it was just past five thirty. "Shall we say seven?" Castiel asked giving himself enough time to head to the store and maybe clean the apartment a little.

"Seven it is" Dean agreed "I'll bring a movie too so we can watch one of yours and one of mine"

Castiel laughed. Of course Dean would want to bring his own movie "If you must. I'll see you at seven"

Dean took his time to decide on a movie from his vast collection. His were on one side of the bookcase and Sam's were on the other. Even though they were brothers, they were pretty different when it came to tastes in films. Sam, being the big girl that he is loves romantic comedies. Most of his half is just full of rom-coms with only a few documentaries and the odd action movie. It is insane how many movies he has that all have the same basic story line just different actors and actresses. Dean on the other hand, has his half full of action and horror films because he's manly like that.

Dean almost decided on a horror film but decided against it instead he chose a recent addition to his collection that he'd only seen twice. He hoped Castiel would have seen the two films before it as he put it on the table next to his keys and went to go get ready.

He'd had a long day helping out Bobby at the garage to earn some extra cash. Sure they had a new contract all set up for them but let's be honest, there isn't much money in the gigs they were currently doing and to keep them a float, Dean had to do some shifts at the garage while Sammy did some papers at the local college. Sam wanted to have something outside of the music just in case they didn't make it. Which Dean fully supported. He wanted Sam to have something to fall back on if things went belly up and the record deal didn't work out. Dean had the garage and Sam had his schooling.

Dean entered the bathroom to take a quick shower to get the grease out from under his fingernails and hopefully get rid of the smell of oil. Once he was satisfied he didn't reek of cars, he stepped out and got changed into his jeans and black t-shirt with a plaid over shirt on top. He checked himself in the mirror and decided his stubble was at his usual length and passed on shaving.

Dean writes a note for Sam for when he gets home from his class that he's gone over to Cas' and not to wait up for him before he grabbed the DVD and the keys to the impala and headed out the door.

He smiled the whole drive over. He hadn't seen Cas in a few days but he's been on his mind constantly. Everything is so new and it's a little scary for Dean but it's not a bad scary. He's excited to spend time with Cas and yeah okay he may have been a little caught up in his new video game and didn't ring him until late but at least he still rang each day.

When Dean didn't at the garage or play video games he played his music, wrote down his feelings towards Cas and tried to write him a song not that he'd disclose that information to anyone not even Sam and especially not Cas not till he was done anyway. Maybe even when he was done, he still wouldn't tell Cas. It would just be awkward.

Finally, Dean made it to Castiel's apartment after he stopped along the way to buy a six pack for them to share and celebrate Cas' new job he'd landed. Dean glanced down at his watch and saw it was just before seven as he knocked on the door.

He was greeted by a beaming Castiel who was donned in jeans and a white tee and looked damn gorgeous if Dean said so himself. Before he could speak, Dean was pulled in by his shirt with Castiel smashing their lips together in a heated kiss.

They parted breathless and light headed smiling for ear to ear.

"Damn Cas, missed me much?" Dean teased before he pulled Castiel back towards him for another kiss less heated but just as passionate.

Castiel pulled himself away from Dean and grabbed the beer from Dean's hand before he moved back into the apartment. Dean watched him go for a moment before he too moved inside and closed the door. Dean had a look around having never been in the apartment before. It was smaller than the one he shared with Sam knowing from what Cas had told him it was only a one bedroom place and Cas was on the couch.

Dean took a seat on said couch just as Castiel came back from the kitchen holding out a beer for Dean while he placed his own on the coffee table in front of them. Dean had a look at Castiel's other hand and saw the promised apple pie was in it. He smiled up at Cas who returned it.

"Love me some pie" Dean announced as Castiel plonked himself down next to him.

"I know" Cas replied with a smile as he passed Dean a fork and put the pie between them for them to share. "So what movie did you bring?"

Dean took a forkful of pie just as Castiel asked so instead of replying, he held up the case of the DVD to Castiel who snorted. Dean scrunched his face up at Cas' reaction. Dean swallowed the mouthful of pie quickly so he could talk.

"What's so funny about 'The Dark Knight Rises'?"

Castiel threw his head back and laughed before he reached towards the coffee table and picked up a DVD case and showed it to Dean. Dean took one glance at the case and scoffed.

"Avengers? Seriously? You're a Marvel fan? Wow and I thought I actually liked you" Dean joked which earned a playful shove to the shoulder from Cas.

"I can't believe you're a DC fan. Marvel is so much better!" Cas argued.

This was one argument Dean was determined not to lose. He'd grown up reading DC comics. He knew every single character and their stories. He knew most of the Marvel characters too but no way was Marvel better than DC. Come on, Batman is so much better than any Marvel character!

"You have got to be kidding me right now. DC has Superman! Superman Cas. The most super person in the entire world!"

Castiel scoffed "Uh huh. Marvel has Gods Dean. Come on Loki and Thor. Plus they're played by fucking gorgeous actors. Actually the entire cast of Avengers is gorgeous" Cas side tracked

Now was Dean's turn to scoff "No Cas, this is not an argument of who has the better looking cast this is an argument as to whether Marvel or DC is the better comic series."

Castiel shook his head as he took a swig from his beer. Dean took the opportunity in the break of the argument to take another bite of the delicious pie.

"I think this could be an argument that neither of us is going to back down from so maybe we should just agree to disagree." Castiel propositioned as he placed his beer back onto the coffee table.

Dean thought over Castiel's suggestion he really wanted to argue this more but he could tell there was no reasoning with this man. He had made up his mind just like Dean had but he couldn't help himself with wanting to know how far he could push the man.

"And what if I refuse?" Dean asked. He took a large swig of his beer and placed it on the table next to Castiel's. Dean picked up the pie and did the same thing he did with his beer so he could move closer to Cas and pushed him down on the couch and leant over him so that their faces were inches away from touching. "Hm?" Dean continued "What if I refuse?"

Cas seemed to be thinking it over for a moment before he answered "Well I was going to blow you later tonight but if you'd rather argue about comic book characters and ruin the mood I guess we can do that instead"

And damn does Cas fight dirty. How could Dean keep arguing now when there was the prospect of getting a blowjob from his boyfriend?

"But" Cas continued with a smirk on his face "Can we watch the movies first? I really want to watch Avengers"

And with that Dean 'DC forever' Winchester found himself on the couch with his boyfriend curled into his side watching the Avengers and although he would never admit it, the cast is pretty hot and he wouldn't mind watching it again.

Castiel was a little distracted to say the least during the film. He wanted to know more about Dean and Dean wasn't talking. Castiel knew Dean enjoyed the movie a lot more than he was letting on because come on what person doesn't find Chris Evans in tights hot?

Castiel took a deep breath to calm himself before he initiated the conversation to a topic they had both avoided. He knew as soon as he asked the question, Dean was going to want to know the same thing about Castiel but Castiel was okay with that. He was ready to let Dean into his life and that would mean talking things through.

Castiel sat himself upright still pressed against Dean's side as to not arouse suspicion. He curled his hand around Dean's back lightly drawing patterns with his fingers across the small of his lovers back to calm him (or maybe himself) as he asked the question that had burned in the back of his mind since Dean had sung the song on Friday night at The Roadhouse.

"Dean," Castiel whispered as he looked at the side of Dean's face to search for recognition that he had heard Castiel speak to him. When there was none, Castiel spoke a little louder "Dean" This time Dean tore his eyes away from the screen to look at Castiel with a smile.

"Hm?" He asked "What's up?"

Castiel hesitated for a moment. Maybe he wasn't ready to ask all this. Maybe he should just wait till Dean brought it up. But he thought better of it, it was now or never. Castiel leant forward pressing a light tentative kiss to Dean's soft lips before he pulled back and smiled as he spoke

"Can you tell me about your family?" He posed it as a question so if Dean wasn't willing to talk about it he could just say no and Castiel would leave it at that but he also put a bit of a push behind his words as if to emphasise that he really would like to know about Dean's family.

Dean froze and stared back wide eyed at Castiel as if a deer caught in the headlights. To quickly reassure Dean he continued, "You don't have to," Castiel leant in and pressed another kiss to Dean's lips before he leant back enough to look him in the eye and continued "I just wanted to know more about you that's all" Castiel leant back and faced himself towards the television again before he slumped back into Dean's side and rested his head on Dean's chest. He felt a little defeated that Dean had reacted so badly but it's not like he hadn't expected it. Dean was obviously ignored the topic for a reason.

Castiel sighed against Dean's chest as he still drew patterns in the small of Dean's back but tried to focus on the movie. Of course it was at the moment where it was just about to end leaving them to awkwardly ignore that Castiel had ever bought the topic up.

Castiel made a move to stand up and eject the disc only to be held back by Dean. He turned his head looking back to Dean in confusion.

"I'll put your movie on now"

Dean let out a chuckle at that "Sheesh Cas," he began "Even I know that you wait for the end of the credits in a Marvel movie" and with that, Castiel was pulled back into Dean's side where he began to relax a little. At least Dean didn't hate him for bringing it up.

"Listen Dean–" Cas began only to be interrupted

"Cas, it's fine." Dean assured as he softly lifted Castiel's chin so he could look him in the eye "I get why you asked. Seriously I do. We've both been ignoring the topic of our families except for our brothers and I know I have a reason for that and I'm willing to bet you do to. I just don't know that I'm ready to share just yet."

Castiel nodded in understanding. Dean wasn't ready yet. Castiel just couldn't help but wonder would he ever be ready? Before Castiel could come to any speculations as to whether or not Dean would be ready, Dean continued to talk. He'd obviously seen the uneasiness on Castiel's face because his voice was soft and reassuring.

"I promise, as soon as I'm ready I will tell you everything" Dean leant down and pressed a long kiss to Castiel's forehead. Castiel closed his eyes at the touch and enjoyed the fact that Dean already knew how to comfort him even if he didn't know that was exactly what his mother used to do to calm him, it was nice to think that Dean knew. "Just give me time okay?" he whispered across Castiel's forehead.

Castiel nodded again feeling a lot better that Dean would eventually be ready and when he was he would come to him and tell him.

Just as Castiel was about to get up and put on Dean's DVD, Dean grabbed the remote and turned the TV off.

"How about we skip my movie?" Dean suggested with a cheeky grin on his face

Castiel smirked in reply "I think I like the way you think Winchester" He knew Dean was just distracting him with the prospect of sex but to be honest Castiel didn't care. Dean told him he'd come to him when he's ready and Castiel was going to stick by that and if Dean was going to give him an out of an awkward situation then he was sure as hell going to take it.

Castiel moved himself to straddle Dean's lap and placed his legs either side of Dean's thighs with his knees digging into the back of the couch. He brought his hands up to cup the back of Dean's neck as he leant in and mashed their lips together in a heated kiss not wasting anytime and slid his tongue into Dean's mouth.

Castiel's hips started to rock as Dean's hands slid under his shirt and up his back with feather light touches that tickled. Castiel smiled into the kiss the touches made him chuckle a little before Dean leant back slightly which broke the kiss.

"Ticklish huh?" Dean asked with a chuckle before he dove back into their kiss. Dean's hands moved down to grip Castiel's rear and rocked their hips together a little harder.

This time Castiel broke their kiss to whisper across Dean's lips "Guess it's time I made good on my promise I made earlier"

Castiel slunk off the couch onto his knees and pulled Dean's legs apart so he could sit between them keeping their eyes locked together. Castiel pushed his hands up Dean's thighs and gripped the waistband of his jeans before he undid the button with steady hands.

It didn't take long for Castiel to have Dean gasp his name over and over like a prayer as he bobbed his head down sinking as far as he could on the member without chocking. Dean's hands scraped along Castiel's scalp and caught the tusks of hair before he pulled slightly which caused Castiel to groan. Damn he loved having his hair pulled.

Before he knew it, Dean's cum hit the back of his throat and Castiel milked him of it all. As soon as he felt Dean's member soften, he pulled off with a wet pop sitting back on his haunches and grinned up at Dean who looked utterly blissed out.

"Come here" Dean whispered barely loud enough for Castiel to hear.

Castiel didn't hesitate and climbed back up into Dean's lap where he was assaulted with lazy kisses. Castiel pried himself away from Dean's mouth just for a moment to whisper across his lips.

"Stay?"

"Of course" Dean whispered back
