I hope you enjoy the next chapter, I'm writing this because my best friend read this and yelled at me through text message to update it ASAP. Hope you enjoy :D
Dean wasn't even in the car yet when his phone rang. He looked at his phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number. He smirked. If it was Cas he honestly didn't know if he'd be able handle it. He had been carrying Adam but gave him to Sam to put in his car seat as he answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello Dean." Cas' deep gravelly voice echoed over the other line. Dean could hear the smile in his voice.
"Hiya Cas" Dean's smile split his face wide open, "Couldn't have waited until I was home and away from Sammy?" He asked as he sat in the impala, avoiding Sam's cheeky grin.
"Of course not. Knowing that you're little brother is in the car after I've found out that my voice almost gave you a boner earlier is highly amusing." Cas replied and Dean's hand tightened on the steering wheel as he gave Sam a sideways glance.
"How ya wanna do this Cas?"
"Well since you asked me out you get to decide."
Dean grumbled like a child and rolled his eyes, Sam chuckled quietly, "Alright I'll figure something out but uh, just, don't make fun of me okay? I haven't done this in a while."
"Who would make fun of you, daddy?" Adam asked loudly from the back seat, "Tell them that that's mean!"
Dean laughed into the phone as did Cas who could hear Adam as well, Dean turned his head slightly and replied, "Nobody's making fun of me buddy."
"I'm sure I'll love whatever you think of." Cas added.
"I am holding you to that statement Mr. Novack."
"Alrighty Mr. Winchester, got an idea of when you wanna do this?"
"How bout I pick you up round six on Friday?"
"Sounds great Dean, I'll text you my address later when you're not driving."
"Can't wait." Cas was positive that if they were looking at each other that Dean would have winked.
"Until next time, Cas."
"Until next time."
Dean shoved his phone into the pocket of his jeans and readjusted himself in the driver's seat, trying to avoid the awkwardness that filled the car as Sam continued to grin at him widely.
"What Sammy."
"Who're you picking up on Friday? Caaaaaaaaaaaas?"
"Shut up Sammy."
"Awh Dean's goin on a date with Caaaaasssss." Sam practically sang, "Dean and CaaaAAAsss sittin in a tree k-i-s—" Dean cut him off.
"Sam I will cut your hair in your sleep I swear to Go—"but then Adam cut off Dean.
"Daddy you like Cas?"
"Sure I do Adam."
"But do you like like Cas?"
Sam snorted and Dean hit him in the back of the head and cleared his throat, "Uh, umm, yeah buddy I like like Cas."
Dean pulled into the driveway and started unbuckling Adam as Sam got out of the car.
"Well I tink that's gweat because I really like Mr. Cas," Adam told Dean seriously as he picked him up and held him against his side and hip with one arm while he shut the door and locked the car.
"Yeah?" Dean asked smiling, "You like Cas?"
"Courwse I do, Daddy! He's real great, when I go find Uncle Sammy in duh libwary he always helps me find him." Adam explained, "And I think he's real pretty daddy, that's why you like him right?"
Sam couldn't choke down his laughter as they entered the house and Dean glared at him venomously over Adam's shoulder, but he couldn't keep a smile form his face for long anyways because Adam was just so darn cute.
"Yeah buddy I like Cas because he's pretty but I also like him because he's really nice and funny too." Dean explained as he set Adam down and then removed his t-shirt and threw it in the hamper. He was covered in sweat and oil and he was surprised he didn't stink up the entire library while he was there.
"Can he come over and play?" Adam asked.
"Sure buddy," Dean said chuckling, "Sammy get Adam ready for a bath while I shower okay?"
"Yeah sure Dean."

Cas was happy before but now he was practically shitting rainbows. He walked into his house grinning like five year old on their birthday and took out his phone immediately to text Dean his address. When he looked up from his phone Lucifer and Gabriel were staring at him like he had three heads, the game of Mario kart they had been playing long forgotten.
"Who yanked your chain the right way?" Lucifer asked lifting an eyebrow.
"What?" Cas asked walking into the kitchen to start a pot of coffee.
"You're like all happy and shit." Lucifer explained.
"Yeah you were acting like a kicked puppy all day yesterday because you were convinced Dean would never love you and only love his dead wife." Gabriel said bluntly and Cas glared at him.
"If you must know Dean asked me on a date."
Gabriel literally bounced, not jumped, not leaped, not hopped, bounced three feet off of the couch and landed in a crouch before sprinting over to Cas like a weird golden haired lemur and slid his arm across the counter so that he stopped in front of his baby brother with a hand under his chin and a wicked grin on his face.
"Oh did he?" Gabe said smirking, "Oh boy isn't this great Luci? Cassie's scored a 27 on the sexy meter, hot as fuck beefcake and he didn't even have to try."
"How wonderful." Lucifer said clearly uninterested, he had started playing Mario kart again.
"Gabriel," Cas sighed but Gabriel wouldn't let him get a word in and instead started parading around the kitchen singing, "Dean and CaAAaassiieee sittin in a tree, f-u-c-k-i-n-g!"
"Oh my god Gabriel shut the fuck up," Cas growled, "It's not that big of a deal."
"Oh but it is," Lucifer chimed in, "And you know it little brother."
"Okay maybe I'm a little excited." Cas confessed as he sat in the chair to watch his older brothers play Mario kart. Lucifer was currently playing as Princess Peach and Gabriel always, always played as Toad.
"When's the big date?" Gabe asked.
"Friday at six, I don't know what we're doing yet, Dean said he would let me know if it's casual or formal."
"Even if it's casual wear something snug." Lucifer told him.
"And blue, wear something blue, makes your eyes POP." Gabriel added.
Cas sighed loudly, "The two of you are not allowed to butt in." Cas growled.
"Who's butting in where?" said a voice as they came in through the back entrance of the house.
The three Novacks looked around to see their oldest brother Michael standing in the living room doorway with an eyebrow raised.
"Cassie's gotta date and he said we can't be involved." Gabe pouted.
"Which is a hope on its own, we're definitely going to end up being involved." Lucifer said still focused on the video game.
"Gabriel, Toad fell off the cliff just so you know, and Castiel, who's the lucky guy?" Michael asked sitting on the arm of the couch and loosening his tie.
Michael Novack was a tall man with narrow shoulders and a slim frame but he still managed to have an overpowering aura whenever he was in a room. He was always looked at as the person in charge even if he wasn't. When he wasn't at home he was formal at all times but still managed to have a warm personality.
Cas looked a lot like Michael only Michael could control his hair and Michael's eyes were so dark of a brown that they almost looked black. Gabriel's eyes were the color of sun shining through a bottle of whiskey, Lucifer had eyes the color of ice, and Castiel was the Novack with the ocean blue eyes. Everyone talked about Castiel's eyes.
"Um, his name is Dean Winchester, he's a mechanic here in Lawrence. His little brother volunteers at the school library. That's how we met." Cas explained.
"And he's got a [cough] dead wife [cough] and a [cough] four year old son." Gabriel 'coughed' out behind them. Cas flicked him in the ear.
"Gabriel why do you have to be such a turd?" Castiel growled out.
"Castiel, it's fine. You're living in an apartment with your three brothers who are all also grown men. You're both in interesting situations." Michael tried reassuring him which only ended up making things worse because now all Cas was thinking about was the fact that he was living with three grown men that were his brothers which was almost as bad as living in your mom's basement.
"Don't think that helped very much Mikey." Lucifer said smirking.
"Shut up." Michael said to him and Gabe snickered. Cas basically lived with children.
"Alright well I'm going to go take a shower." Cas said and just before he left the room Michael asked, "Do you have anything blue and tight you can wear? Because if you don't I have a sweater you can borrow."
Cas literally hit his head against the door frame four times before leaving the room.

Dean was pacing back and forth and back and forth in his living room and Sam literally did not know what to do.
"Dean seriously what's wrong?"
"Sammy, I don't know what to do man."
"What are you talking about?"
"My date with Cas you idiot!" Dean practically oulled out his hair, "I haven't been on a date in over three years and I have no idea where the fuck to take him!"
"Dean first of all, keep your voice down Adam's sleeping, and second, you need to like take a valium or something. Calm down, you can think of something."
Dean sat on the couch next to Sam with his head in his hands and squeezed his hair at the roots.
"Like what though? I don'thave the money right now to take him anywhere nice Sammy."
"Dean you don't have to take him to a five star restaurant. Trust me, from what I've learned from helping him out in the library is that Cas doesn't like big fancy shit. He like simple things Dean, as long as it means something it should be fine."
Dean got quiet for a moment before speaking again, "There is one thing…"
"What?"
"I was uh, gonna do this with Jo and never did. Um, I used to do it with Charlie all the time and one day she told me that it would make a really nice romantic date…"
"Well?"
Dean blushed, "I could take Cas up to the airport and sit on the grass with him and have a picnic while we watch the planes take off."
"Oh my god when did you turn into such a cornball?" Sam asked laughing.
"Come on Sammy." Dean said shoving him.
"No Dean it's not a bad thing! It's perfect, like seriously, it's perfect."
"Ya think?"
"I know."
Dean pulled him into a one armed hug and then got up to get a beer. When he saw back down Sam gasped loudly, "Awh man!"
"What's wrong?"
"Tomorrow is parent teacher night. I forgot to tell you, its okay if you can't get the day off. I can ask Ellen or Charlie to go."
"No it's fine Sammy, Cas told me when we were texting earlier. I already got the day off. Charlie's gonna baby sit Adam while we're there for a couple hours."
"Oh, alright good." Sam sighed in relief, "Are you ready?"
Dean let out a nervous laugh, "As ready as I'll ever be."
Sam laughed. Teacher parent night was a touch night for the both of them. Every mother and older sister that attended the teacher parent night was all over Dean every year, and every younger sister and regular high school girl was all over Sam. It was just the Winchester curse, good looks and charm, what a shame.
The next night Dean and Sam dressed just the way they always did, to tease. It was really awful actually but they didn't care. These women deserved to look at them and want but never receive, they were like vultures.
Dean wore a tight black t-shirt with a snug pair of oil stained jeans and his boots while Sam wore a tight dark blue Henley and his own pair of snug worn out jeans and boots. Classic Winchester wardrobe, dressed to please.
When they pulled up to the school Sam let out a laugh.
"Man Cas is gonna freak when he sees you."
Dean chuckled, "Shit I didn't even think about Cas being here, I was gonna wear this on our date." Sam laughed even more.
"Just try and keep it in your pants while you're talking to my teachers okay? Sam asked as they walked towards the school, "Can't have you jumping Cas in the middle of the classroom and getting my grades deducted for disturbing the peace."
"Shut up," Dean said punching him in the arm playfully and they entered the building.
The large foyer of the school was filled with parents and their children. A few tables were set up with finger foods and drinks and one was set up for signing in.
All of the moms and older sisters may ogle Dean like he was a piece of chocolate but the teachers were not a huge fan of the older Winchester. Dean went to high school at Lawrence High, he barely graduated and wasn't the best behaved teenaged boy in the world. Not only did he misbehave in high school but afterwards he went and did what he wanted to do and became a successful mechanic, and didn't go to college which was what his teachers had wanted him to do.
Ignoring the disapproving looks of most of the teachers Dean and Sam made their way to sign in and then found Chuck and his father Chuck Sr. and stood with them and talked about how much they disliked teacher parent night until every teacher was present and ready to discuss things with the parents.
"Dean heads up, Cas at seven o'clock." Sam said nudging his brother in the side after they finally gotten away from Mr. Azazel who gave Dean a disapproving look every time he said something and made indirect comments about Dean being a bad father. It literally took all of both Sam and Dean's self-control to stay calm and not rip out his chest hair.
Cas was walking out of the library and heading towards the food and drink table. Two moms were already swaying their hips towards him and you could feel the uncomfortable tension in his shoulders being soaked in by the air around them.
"Cas! Over here!" Dean said smiling and raising a hand to wave him over.
The relief on Cas' face was almost comical. Cas made his way over and then not so subtly swallowed and blushed a deep pink when he looked at Dean's outfit.
"I didn't know that parent teacher night was such a lovely occasion." Cas stated.
"We like to tease the women in the room," Dean explained, "And maybe I knew I'd be seeing a certain librarian tonight." He added with a wink. Sam rolled his eyes overdramatically.
"Dean seriously."
"Shut up Sammy."
"I'm a little confused on how you were capable of remaining celibate while owning those clothes." Cas said leaning against the wall and smirking at the older Winchester.
"He hasn't worn that outfit in like a year and a half," Sam explained and Dean squinted at him.
"Bitch."
"Jerk."
Cas chuckled and directed his attention towards Sam, "You look nice tonight also Sam, I may or may not have seen a certain Sarah Blake following you around with bedroom eyes."
Sam's cheeks reddened immediately and he looked at Cas like he was Judas or something.
"Cas ugh." Sam said rubbing his temples.
"Was I not supposed to mention her?" he asked tilting his head to the side.
"Sammy's just a little upset because he hadn't told me about her yet." Dean said draping an arm around Sam's shoulders and pulling him into his side.
"I don't tell you about girls I like because you always try to meddle with my relationships." Sam groaned, "Not to mention most of them only go out with me because they want to play with Adam and try and hook up with you behind my back."
"Awh Sammy you know that's not true." Dean said furrowing his brows.
"It's certainly not true about Sarah," Cas added, "She talks about you a lot with her friends in the library."
Sam's face lit up with a grin, "Gosh Cas you're in on everything."
"Librarians are like the walls, they hear everything." Cas winked, "Why don't you go talk to her? I'm sure she would rather stand with you at the food table then stand alone."
"Go on," Deans said shoving him forward and rubbing his head a little. Soon enough Dean and Cas were alone.
"Who have you talked with so far?" Cas asked.
"Everyone accept for Rufus, I always save him for last because he was the only teacher who liked me in high school. I'm just glad I got Mr. Azazel over with." Dean said rubbing the back of his neck with his hand.
"Yeah, Mr. Azazel does seem like the overly judgemental and permanently grumpy type of person." Cas nodded, "What does Rufus teach again? I'm still learning everyone's names and positions."
"When I went here Rufus taught math, gym, and he was my baseball coach, but he stopped coaching a few years ago. Got too old." Dean explained.
"You played baseball?" Cas asked raising an eyebrow.
"Sure did, started varsity my freshmen year, played every position but mostly catcher and I was a helluva batter." Dean told him with a shy smile.
"The fact that you wore baseball pants at some point in your life is all that matters to me." Cas said with a grin and Dean blushed and then laughed.
"I'm exicted for Friday." Dean told him.
"Me too." Cas said looking up at Dean through his eyelashes, "It's odd knowing I'll see you pick up Sam tomorrow and Thursday but we won't be going on a date until Friday."
"It just makes me more excited." Dean said taking Cas' hand in his own, "And incredibly nervous."
Cas leaned up and kissed Dean on the cheek, "Don't worry about it. Until next time, Dean." Dean watched as he snuck back into the library and then let out the corniest sigh in the entire world.

Charlie was putting Adam to bed but they weren't really going to bed. They were snuggling under the blanket fort they had made in the living room telling each other stories about dragons and Sam turning into a giant moose.
"You know Aunty Charwie, Daddy's going on a date on Fwiday!" Adam said smiling widely at her.
"Oh he is?"
"Yup! With Mr. Cas!"
"Do you like Mr. Cas?"
"I like Mr. Cas a lot, but Daddy reaaaaaally like him. Daddy like like's him." Adam explained.
"Yeah?" Charlie asked, "How do you know your Daddy likes Mr. Cas so much?"
"Because Daddy smiles when he talks about Mr. Cas. He smiles the way he smiles when he tells me about Mommy."
Charlie's eyes widened and her eyebrows lifted for a moment before she pulled Adam into her chest and kissed his head. She had tears brimming her eyes a little, happy tears. What Adam just said meant that Dean was happier than he had been in a very long time.
Okayyyyyy, so that's the chapter! I hope you liked it! I'll be trying to update my other stories as soon as I can. Please read and review this? One Love.
