When I home that evening I danced into the kitchen, which isn't easy considering the size and clutter.
"Oh Cassy!" I sang, there was a grunt for a reply from the living room. I leaped over the back of the couch and sat down next to him. His black hair was wild from his fingers running through it and he was doing homework.
"Sam said yes! We're going out tomorrow." He looked up and smiled, a real smile, full blown teeth and eyes and everything. It was rare and just made me smile wider.
"This is good," he said, "I haven't seen you so happy in a long time, Gabe." I was glad, I missed being this hyped a about anything.
"What are you working on, bro." (Cas loved it when I called him my brother) Castiel's classes were very important to him. He was going to be a doctor. Cas was great with everyone, but he really shined with little kids, so I was betting on him being a pediatrician.
"I'm writing an essay for Miss. Naomi, she's expecting it on Monday." Naomi could be a real narky bitch, so I made Cas some of his favorite honey tea.
"Here." I handed him his lucky mug.
"Thank you, Gabriel." He yawned, it was getting late.
"Hey, maybe you oughta take a break, buddy." I asked putting my hand on his shoulder.
"I don't know, I need to finish this..." He hesitated.
"Naww, come on. Hey, why not come help me decide what to where tomorrow. Gotta dress to impress, yeah?" He thought for a moment before setting his pen down.
The next morning at 9:30 I was pulling on my favorite green jacket.
"How do I look?" I struck a falmboiant pose.
"You look dashing as always, Gabriel." Cas said, not looking at me. He was writing again.
"Good." I murmured to myself in the mirror smoothing down my hair. I wasn't unattracttive, really. I had light golden-brown eyes and dirty strawberry blond hair that flipped at the ends. I liked it like it was, just below my ears, it looked good framing my narrow face. I smiled my usual generic smirk, my thin lips stuck out a bit. Yeah, I was quite the looker if you liked short guys.
I nodded at myself and tossed my keys into the air and pocketed my wallet. Show time.
