"Cas" Dean whined "Why do I have to wear this stupid thing"

Castiel emerged from the bathroom to inspect Dean's appearance and why he was complaining even though he already knew. It was the night of the album release party and they had a formal dinner before the party with all the executives that they had to sit through and formal meant black tie. When Castiel finally laid eyes on Dean he couldn't help but feel aroused, the man looked absolutely irresistible in the black tuxedo with white shirt and black bow tie.

"I don't understand why you don't like wearing this, Dean" Castiel said while he adjusted Dean's bow tie "You look amazing and if we didn't have to be out of here in half an hour," Castiel leant forward to claim Dean's lips in a heated kiss as he teased with his tongue before he pulled back again and laughed at Dean as he tried to follow him blindly "Then I'd definitely have my way with you but unfortunately I still need to get dressed" Castiel patted Dean's shoulder before he returned to the bathroom to finish.

"Fucking tease" Dean called after him which caused a chuckle from Castiel

Castiel left the bathroom after placing the cologne Dean loved on to find Dean sprawled on their bed reading one of his car magazines.

"Dean, get off the bed, you'll crinkle your tux" Castiel scorned

While Dean grumbled and wrestled himself off the bed, Castiel retrieved his own tuxedo from the wardrobe. It was similar to Dean's traditional tux except he decided to choose a black shirt and white bow tie. He just liked it better and if the reaction he received once he was dressed was anything to go by, Dean liked it too.

"Damn Cas, you look gorgeous" Dean said as he eyed him hungrily "Not that you don't normally" He hastily added

Castiel chuckled as he stepped forward to kiss him "Good save Winchester"

He smirked into the kiss as Dean attempted to deepen it. He allowed his boyfriend to continue before his hands wandered a little too low and stepped back as he placed his finger to Dean's pouted lips.

"No Dean. We have to go"

If at all possible, Dean's pout only increased as his shoulders slumped. Castiel quickly glanced at the clock; they had five minutes before they had to be downstairs to meet Ash, Jo, Sam, and Jess in the limo, there was definitely no time to do anything.

"Baby as much as I want to," Castiel sweet talked as he tried to remove the pout from Dean's face "We can't be late. These guys funded your album after all and if we turn up late and in a complete mess they'll know exactly why we were late. So come on we have to go. I have a bag packed for us with clothes to get changed into for the party so we don't ruin the tuxedos"

"Geez Cas when did you turn into mother hen?" Dean joked.

Castiel scowled at Dean and instead of replying he picked up the bag and stormed out of the room. He tried to appear angry so Dean would have to try and make it up to him. It worked as, as soon as he reached the front door, he was pulled back and spun around to face Dean who had a look of worry on his face.

"I'm sorry sweetie I love you being all organised and shit. God knows if you didn't, I'd probably still be back in South Dakota"

"I don't doubt that" Castiel agreed

Dean smiled at him which caused Castiel to smile in return. Damn Winchester and his contagious smile.

"And just to prove how sorry I am" Dean continued as he stepped forward to whisper in Castiel's ear. His breath caused a shiver down his spine and the hairs on the back of his neck to rise "When we get home, we can do whatever you want"

Without another word, Dean moved passed Castiel and out the door. Castiel couldn't help but smirk. He'd got the exact reaction he'd wanted.

When they emerged in the lobby of their apartment building, Jess, Sam, Ash, and Jo were waiting for them. Dean eyed up the women before him and took in their appearance. They were absolutely stunning. Jess wore a short black dress with one shoulder and white shoes whereas Jo wore a strapless red dress with a sparkling silver belt around her waist and matching red shoes.

"Damn Jo, who knew you, could look so lady-like" Dean teased earning a punch to the shoulder from both Jo and Cas. "There's the Jo I know" he joked again and earned a laugh from Jo but it didn't seem to remove the glare from Cas' face. Dean sighed before he apologised. It was the only way that Cas would stop glaring at him "I'm kidding ladies. You look absolutely gorgeous. Seriously Sam, if you don't marry that girl soon someone else might snap her up. You too Ash."

Ash and Jo had only recently gotten together. They were inseparable ever since they had arrived in LA and eventually they fell into a relationship. No one was actually surprised it had happened. Everyone had known they had crushed on each other for years.

Sam replied with his classic bitch-face and Ash with a chuckle. Dean chanced a glance at Castiel to see the glare had been replaced by one of amusement as he tried to hold back a laugh which meant Dean was off the hook.

"Thank you Dean" Jess replied "You're not looking too bad yourself. Funny what a bar of soap and a razor can produce"

Everyone cracked up over Jess' joke which caused Dean to scowl in defeat and look down at his shoes which Cas had polished for him. Damn Cas was really too good for him. He did absolutely everything for Dean without even Dean needing to ask him. He did feel bad for insulting him earlier about the whole mother hen thing even though it was true. If it wasn't for Cas, Dean didn't think he would be where he was stood in the lobby of a high class apartment building waiting for a damn limo to show up to take them to a dinner and later their album launch party.

Cas was Dean's driving passion. He was the man behind Dean's music and just about every song he sang, he sang it for Cas. He didn't give a shit if the label or the fans liked his songs, if Cas liked it then that was enough for him. Cas was the only critic outside of his family Dean would listen to. As he looked over to his lover he saw his eyes crinkled and a huge smile across his face as he laughed – even if it was at Dean's expense – he couldn't help but smile.

Castiel must have felt Dean's gaze as he slowly turned to lock eyes with Dean his eyes filled with love and adoration. Dean reached out his hand and took hold of Castiel's and entwined their fingers together as he leant forward to place a soft kiss to the chapped lips of his partner.

"What was that for?" Cas asked with his head tilted to the side which he did every time he tried to figure out what Dean was saying and it was utterly adorable.

"For everything" Dean replied simply before he returned his attention to the rest of the party. He could still feel the blue eye gaze on him as he tried to figure it all out. They departed for the limo once it finally pulled up outside to enjoy their evening but first they had to get through dinner with management.

-
"Evening boys" Crowley greeted them as they arrived at their table "And ladies you look ravishing" he took each of their hands and kissed them on the hand which caused them both to giggle and blush. Sam, Ash, and Dean rolled their eyes at each other as they took their seats next to each other.

"Play nice" Castiel whispered in Dean's ear as he seated himself down next to Dean "He's the reason you're here right now" He reminded Dean. He knew Dean didn't really like Crowley. For some reason, Dean had just felt there was something off about the guy like he had a hidden agenda. However, if he did, it had not been revealed yet as everything was as it should be with the album.

Castiel glanced around the table and noticed there were three spare seats at the table but before he could ask who they were for, Dean beat him to it.

"So who else is coming?" Dean asked as he gestured to the empty seats.

"Well," Crowley began before he cut himself off and stood up from the table "Why tell you when they've just arrived" The table occupants followed Crowley's gaze to see two men and a woman approach the table. The man at the front was tall and blonde and wore a black tux with a red tie followed by a similar height man who was lean in stature and wore a blue tie with his tux. They were lastly followed by a small brunette who wore a short, black dress that barely covered anything and matching black heels.

"Gentleman," Crowley addressed the table again "Meet Luce, Alistair, and Meg from Management. I'm sure you've heard a lot about them"

Sam was the first to stand and shook hands with the men and kissed Meg on the cheek as he said how much of a pleasure it was to meet them before he introduced them to Jess. Noticing that Dean was yet to move, Castiel kicked his foot under the table and sent him a glare which told him to get up and greet them. Dean smiled and did the same as Sam before he turned to Castiel and introduced him. Castiel stood and shook hands. Castiel noticed that Alistair was looking at Dean with a weird look. Dean seemed to shift his weight from foot to foot under the gaze. Thinking it was nothing more than the fact this Alistair person was just another homophobe, Castiel elected to ignore it. There was no point in making a scene. It was Dean's big night and making enemies with management was not exactly a good idea. Meg however, kept giving him weird looks as if she was picturing him naked which made him extremely uncomfortable. Meg must have sensed Castiel's predicament as she smirked and sent a wink his way before she took her seat at the table.

"So I know this is a big night for you boys," Crowley began once they were all seated and had given their food orders. The three from management had been oddly quiet. They had not said anything other than their greetings of hello and place their food orders which Castiel found unsettling. There was something about this trio that Castiel found worrying. They did not seem like nice people and judging by the looks they gave Castiel, they did not approve of his and Dean's relationship. As if to show them they had no control over him or Dean, Castiel entwined his fingers with Dean's which was rested on the table in plain sight for them to see. Dean squeezed his hand and turned his head to smile at Castiel. They were drawn away from each other's eyes as Crowley cleared his throat.

"As I was saying," Crowley reiterated as he glared at Castiel and Dean before his face relaxed again and he continued "I know this is a big night for you boys so I just wanted to congratulate you and tell you that the album has debuted at number three on the charts."

The joy that spread across Dean's face was indescribable. Castiel didn't think he'd ever seen Dean's grin that wide except for when Castiel agreed to move to LA with him. Castiel found he grinned as Dean turned to him and pulled him in for a kiss.

"Congratulations Dean" Castiel murmured across Dean's lips

"That's not the only news I have" Crowley continued everyone's gaze was on the small man again as he spoke "Management here have decided that with the success that the album is having when it hasn't even been released officially yet, you are going to go on an American wide tour while you've got them in the palm of your hand"

Everyone's jaw dropped as Crowley's words before Dean and Sam stood up and hugged each other with Ash joining in. Castiel watched with a huge grin on his face as the trio embraced and basked in their success even if they hadn't actually had success yet, a tour of the US was still a huge step for the small town band. Finally, the trio let go and returned to their seats where Castiel hugged Dean and kissed his cheek.

The table returned their attention to Crowley expecting details except this time it was Luce who spoke up. His voice soft and persuading as if this man knew exactly how to get things he wanted

"Tickets will go on sale two weeks after the official album release. The tour will start end of August and you will finish Mid-December"

Castiel was a little shocked to say the least. Three months without Dean in LA. It didn't seem like a long time but he knew when the time came, it was going to be agony. Since they had got together eight months ago they had barely spent more than a few days a part. Castiel had grown used to sharing his bed with the warm body that was Dean and even though Dean had spent so much time at the studio, they still saw each other.

"The tour will start here in LA and you will travel around ending up in San Francisco for your last show but we can discuss details later. Let's enjoy our meal and then go to the party" Luce finished with a grin

"How about a toast" Meg said with a grin on her face "To the success of this wonderful band" Everyone raised their drinks and chinked their vessels in the centre of the round table.

-
Dean was on a high. Their band was finally going somewhere and that somewhere was on an America wide tour for three months. Sure it wasn't worldwide, not yet anyway, but the time will come if the tour is success and the album does well overseas then maybe one day it will be worldwide. But Dean wasn't thinking about all that right now. What he was really thinking about was why Cas was being so quiet. Cas had smiled, hugged and congratulated him but it didn't meet his eyes. For some reason there was just something off about Cas and he wanted to know what that was. Was Cas not happy for him? Dean was finally on the road to get what he had dreamed of ever since the moment he received his first guitar. He knew he was going to have to confront him about it but not tonight. Tonight was about Sam, Ash and himself and their success. He wasn't going to start any drama. He was going to enjoy himself and who knows maybe Cas would get over whatever brought him down.

They arrived at the venue after changing into clothes suitable to party in a little after 9pm. To say it was packed would be an understatement. There were so many people it was hard to move around. People patted Dean on the back and wished him luck with the album. Dean just smiled and thanked them not recognising any of the people especially with the dark with only dance lights to lighten the room.

Dean fought his way through the sweaty bodies as he dragged Cas along by the hand all the way to the bar where they ordered themselves a beer each. Cas seemed to have loosened up since they arrived and smiled at Dean with the joy meeting his eyes this time. Dean smiled in return and pulled Castiel in for a kiss to let everyone know that the man with the sex tousled hair and bright blue eyes in the black jeans that were tight enough to show off his ass and navy blue button down was taken.

When their drinks finally arrived, Dean dragged Cas off to the VIP area that had been set up for the band and management where they took a seat on the red leather seats next to Jo and Ash.

"Dean my man" Ash greeted as he pumped fists with him "Tell me you agree, these couches look like something from a porno" Dean and Castiel both cracked up laughing. "So you agree then?" Ash asked once they stopped laughing.

"I dunno man" Dean said "I guess they're just easy to clean seeing it's leather"

"Exactly why they look like something from a porno" Ash countered

"Ash drop it would you? Let's stop talking about porn and talk about the fact you guys are going on tour" Jo interjected

Dean felt Cas tense next to him. So there was something about the tour that Cas didn't like. Dean turned to Cas to see him staring over at Jo with a small smile across his lips. If he was tense over something, Dean was too slow to see it as whatever it was, was gone and replaced by the small smile if there was anything to see to start with.

"You want to dance?" Dean asked Cas. He didn't want to talk about the tour. He wanted to enjoy his night with Cas. It was their first night out in ages and he was going to enjoy it especially as management was paying for it all. Dean hated dancing and Cas knew this so when the 'are-you-seriously-asking-me-to-dance' look appeared on his face Dean chuckled and stood as he reached his hand out for Castiel to take hold.

As Castiel took Dean's hand and pulled himself up, Meg showed up with Alistair close behind. Dean didn't like the way Meg looked at Cas all night and gave him looks across the table as if she wanted to eat him alive. As for Alistair, the man gave him the creeps. Just saying something in greeting to the man, made Dean uncomfortable. He had stared at Dean all night as if he was just a piece of meat which he could control. He hadn't uttered a single word other than a 'hello' when they were first introduced and it made Dean nervous. He hoped after tonight, he wouldn't have to see the man again. If Dean pulled Cas a little faster to get away from the creeps, they didn't seem to notice but apparently Cas had noticed.

"Those two from management give me the creeps" Cas yelled into Dean's ear as they made their way to the dance floor. Dean nodded in agreement not bothering to turn around and agree. There was no point. With the volume of the music, they were never going to have a conversation. Instead he pulled on Castiel's hand until they found a space on the dance floor where they could actually move.

Dean turned to face Cas and placed his hands on his hips as he pulled him closer while Cas slipped his hands around Dean's neck. They started to grind their hips together to the beat before Cas claimed his lips in a heated kiss that was all tongue. It was sloppy and wet but filled with passion and need. Cas finally pulled back and dragged Dean's bottom lip between his teeth. Dean wanted more but as he leant in, Cas turned him around and pulled him in by his hips so his back was flush against Cas' chest. Even though they had been together for ten months, Dean was still surprised by the strength Cas had.

The beat of the music sped up as did Cas' hips as they ground down onto Dean's ass while Dean pushed himself back. Dean's hands rested on Castiel's which held his hips and held with just enough force that Dean knew not to move away – not that he wanted to. Cas' breath was hot on the nape of his neck which sent shivers down his spine before there was the unmistakeable feeling of wet lips pressing against his skin which moved round to his ear. Teeth pulled at Dean's ear and pulled into the wet heat of Cas' mouth but as fast as it was there, the heat was gone and all that was left was the warm breath that glided past his ear as Castiel spoke

"I'm feeling a little adventurous. How about we have a little fun?" His voice was low and gravelly and turned Dean on to no end.

Instead of answering, he pushed back into Cas' groin and felt the hardness pressed against his jean-clad ass which caused a groan to slip from their lips. Dean closed his eyes and rested his head back on Cas' shoulder while their hips ground against each other; his mouth parted and panted as lips sucked on his neck. The hand on his right hip rose up to grab the back of Cas' head to hold him in place as their hips continued their rhythm. Finally, Cas' free hand moved to drift lower to Dean's thigh and trailed the inside edge slowly which made its way higher until it brushed lightly against Dean's erection. He growled in annoyance at Cas' teasing before he moved his left hand down to push Cas' hand up into his crotch and ground his hips up into the hands.

Dean groaned at the sensation of having some of the tension released as Cas' hand began to work against his cock before it stopped and Dean found himself spun around again his eyes meeting lust-blow blue eyes. Castiel's lips were once again pressed against his own with their tongues entwining while Dean felt one of Cas' thighs slip between his own and Dean took the invitation to grind down while Cas did the same to Dean's.

It wasn't long before Dean found himself oh so close to the edge. He knew Cas wasn't far away either by the way the rhythm of their hips faltered when before it was in time with the beat of the house music pounded in their ears. He pressed harder into Cas' thigh as he searched for his release not caring they were in the middle of a club where people knew who he was. It's not like he cared and he guessed the people around them more than likely didn't give two fucks either.

Not being able to hold back any longer, Dean hit the edge and his hips stuttered and lips fell away from Castiel's as he came hard inside his jeans like a horny teenager but he was too out of it to care; there was only him and Cas and everything else was irrelevant. Dean finally opened his eyes in time to see Cas fall over the precipice. The man was beautiful. There were no other words to describe it. His head thrown back, blue eyes hidden behind closed lids and mouth parted in an 'o' formation as he panted.

As the man came back to himself, Dean felt a smile form across his lips as Cas opened his eyes to match his grin.

"I fucking love you" Dean panted into Castiel's ear. He was rewarded with one of Castiel's beautiful laughs where his eyes crinkled at the edges before Castiel bit down on his own lip and turned shy all of a sudden. "What is it?" Dean asked confused as to why the man was shy all of a sudden as they just dry humped each other in the middle of a club.

Castiel moved forward and wrapped his hands around Dean's neck as he whispered in his ear "Can we leave? I want to fuck"

Dean didn't need to think twice. He quickly nodded and pulled his phone out of his pocket to message Sam that he and Cas were headed off and would take a taxi. He knew it probably would look bad that he left after they only arrived an hour ago but seriously Dean was not about to turn down sex with his boyfriend for a party. Castiel peered down at the phone in Dean's hands and as soon as the message was sent, Dean found himself dragged by the hand out of the club and into a taxi speeding home.
