A man wearing bright red aviators come through the door way and strode past Cas and Dean without a second glance.

"Hey, little brother, I know you weren't prepared, but you couldv'e already had dinner on." He put two plastic bags full of something on the kitchen counter. Dean doesn't think the man has noticed him yet. Cas looked at him and shrugged.

"Gabe-" Cas was cut off.

"No, no. I understand, you don't want to spoil me, I get it. I'm just saying, some solid food before all this candy would've been..." He turned and look straight at Dean. "Weeeell, hello there stud. Castiel Novak, why didn't you tell me you already had the candy for tonight?"

"Gabriel... This is Dean. He is, uh.." Cas looked at him and Dean stepped forward, outstretching his hand.

"I'm his best friend." Gabe looked at him wryly. He shook his hand and looked at Cas in amusement.

"A pleasure to see you, best friend. Cas, pal, I would like a word with you, if you please." Gabriel walked into Cas' open bedroom door. Cas followed and let his head fall back as he huffed. They didn't shut the door so Dean could see everything. Gabe had a hold of Cas' shoulders. He looked like he was excited and Cas was smiling. Dean was beginning to feel awkward when Gabriel walked right up to him and kissed him on both cheeks. Dean blushed and couldn't do anything but stare at him.

"You were right, Bro. He's as red as my favorite blow pop." Dean stepped back to create space.

"Cas, I'm just gonna go."

"UM NO. You can't just walk out on me. I didn't even know you existed. You will stay here. If it helps I have pie." Dean's eyes snapped to Gabriel's face.

"What kind of pie?"

"AHHH we got a fan. I have blueberry and apple." Dean's face lit up and he took his jacket off.

As the night went on Dean was enjoying the brother's banter and found out he enjoyed Gabe and his sense of humor. It was getting to be late when Dean got a message from Sam. Where are you? Dean replied he was on his way.

"Alright, I have to head home. Sam is beginning to wonder where I'm at." Dean grabbed his jacket and headed for the door.

"Oh, alright boyfriend. See you some other time." Gabe didn't look at him, but he knew he was gaging his reaction. Dean stiffened and stopped walking.

" Uhh, yeah... See ya." Cas walked with him out to the impala.

"Don't mind Gabriel. He can be a bit of a romantic." Dean was stiff and awkward. He grunted in response. The word boyfriend kept dancing around his brain. He opened his door and turned to Cas. Cas just moved a little closer and looked up at him. Dean felt his face get hot and cursed.

"Son of a bitch. Cas.." He looked down at Cas' mouth and shifted his weight from foot to foot.

"Yes Dean?" Cas just smiled up at him. He wasn't going to help him. Dean closed his eyes and exhaled heavily. Dean leaned down without thinking and kissed Cas once. He went to pull away but stopped and kissed him again. He cupped his face and he felt Cas smile. After the kiss was over Dean got into the car.

"Will I see you tomorrow?" Cas held the door open.

"After work I can come."

"Good. I will see you then. I hope you have pleasant dreams." Dean's eyed Cas with heat.

"See you tomorrow." Dean pulled away and Cas giggled all the way back inside.

Cas shut the door and turned to find his brother smiling shrewdly at him, "You really like him. Has he drove you to sin yet? Please tell me you've at least tasted that lollipop." Cas blushed and rolled his eyes.

"Go away Gabriel."

"Oh c'moooon, Cas. Tell me." They both went to sit on the couch.

"Yes, Gabriel, I really like him. He has never been with a male before. We kissed for the first time today. Actually you assbutt," Cas scowled at his brother, "that is what you walked in on."

"Well, I apologize. Had I known, we couldv'e rescheduled. But alas, I was never told you were seeing anyone." Gabe got comfy and shoved a snickers into his mouth. As he chewed around the nuts and caramel he said, "Does he know? About the whole dominance thing?"

"Yes. I showed it to him before he decided anything." Cas smirked in satisfaction, "He dreamt of me and my ... dominance." Gabriel laughed and informed his younger brother he was going to crash on the couch. Cas grabbed a throw blanket and laid it on the arm. He went to his shower feeling as if he could fly.

Dean walked in through the front door and Sam was sitting in the chair facing the door with his best bitchface on. He flicked his hair out of his face and tapped his foot. His arms were crossed and Dean knew he was screwed. And not in the way that was in mind.

"I'm tired of being kept in the dark. You will tell me what is going on with you." His little brother cared about him and Dean knew that, but it hard to keep that in mind when he used that condensending tone. Dean pushed aside his pride and sat infront of him.

"Sammy. Listen. This is going to sound weird, but I have a friend. He's really my only friend." Dean was beginning to blush and he watched Sam with caution.

"He? So.. you haven't been sneaking "off to see some woman? Who's this friend? Why was this such a big deal to keep from me?" His face didn't lose the bitchiness, but it did change to a more confused look.

"Uh, well.. It's Cas." Sam nearly came out of his seat.

"You mean Castiel? Castiel Novak? My mentor?"

"Uh, yeah. That's him."

"Why was that such a secret?" Dean looked up at Sam confused.

"It's not weird for you?" Sam repositioned and laughed.

"Dean you can have friends. I don't care who it is. Even if it is my boss." Dean laughed in relief.

"Well, thank you Lord Sammy." Dean couldn't bring himself to tell Sam the rest. He wouldn't be so understanding of him sleeping with his idol. Even if it only happened in his mind so far.

"Alright well, since this was a waste of my anger, I'll go call Jessica." Dean put his hand on Sam's shoulder.

"Have you asked her out yet?"

"Yeah.. about that..." Sam looked down. Dean shook his head.

"You can't win them-" Sam laughed.

"She said yes. We are going out on Friday night. I'm taking her to the science museum and then a dinner."

"Well, I was worried that you were going to bore her to death, but at least she'll be fed." Dean winked at his little brother.

Sam flipped him off and sauntered off to his room. Dean was feeling a little guilty as he headed for the shower. Maybe he shouldv'e told Sam about him and Cas. Then he had a thought. How did Cas know about his dream?

"Chaaarlie." She was lucky he loved her. He thought about loving her to death.
