title says it all. just the two of them dancing-ish.

By Chance

Can I have this dance?...

===3==

"August 18, 2004. Three years together and going strong. Two words: Edwin McCain." Dean read the words written on the page. August 18 must be the day Balthazar has set them up which eventually ended up with them confessing to each other. Or maybe that was simply the time that they really did become official, after Balthazar has set them up. Nonetheless, Dean was still curious as to why Edwin McCain was mentioned in the entry. "What happened on this day?" he finally asked as he looked up at Cas. Cas simply smiled as he recalled the memory. It was a special date Michael did for their third anniversary. He remembered the white rose petals scattered on the ground forming the words I Love You Cas and some scattered around the table. It was a candlelight dinner complete with their own personal musicians (note, it was a CD player). He remembered the way Michael was smiling at him, all the love he saw in those chocolate brown eyes. He remembered the joy and love that laced around his sweet tenor-like voice. He remembered the gentle touch of his hand on him. But most of all, he remembered how much they love each other.

After a while of reminiscing, he looked up back at Dean with a small smile. "We danced that night, the night of our anniversary." He started, smile growing and becoming fonder. "He prepared a candlelight dinner complete with music and stuff. Then, I'll Be by Edwin McCain began to play." His smile now was filled with joy and love at the memory. He remembered everything clearly. The way Michael stood up when the song began to play. The way a hand was stretched in front of him, urging him to take it and have a dance with the man who owned the hand. The way Michael smiled sheepishly with a bright red flush on his cheeks. The way he shyly took in Michael's invitation. The way they stood, fitting perfectly like a lock to a key. The way they started to dance hesitantly but eventually moved in sync like an angel's wings on its flight. "I'm embarrassed to say that I took the part of the girl because he was taller than me." He continued with a light blush.

"So..." Dean started after a moment of silence. "you dance, huh?" Cas simply nodded with a smile. "Okay. Let's try you then." Dean said with a smirk as he closed the book he was holding and put it down beside him on the end of the couch.

Cas' brows furrowed in confusion. "What?"

"I said," he started as he slowly stood up and reached out his hand to Cas. "let's see you dance. Even though I hate to admit it, I'm a really good dancer." He finished with a wink and a slight smirk. Cas couldn't help but huff out a laugh at that. He smiled and looked up to Dean. He shook his head at Dean's expectant face. Without second thoughts, he took Dean's hand and he was hauled up to his feet.

"Okay. Let me get my iPod and a speaker." He said as he pulled away from Dean to get to his room. "What song do you want?" he said over his shoulder as he got to his room.

"Do you have that same song you danced to back then?" Dean asked without thinking.

"Yeah. Why?" Cas said as he emerged from the bedroom, iPod in hand.

"Maybe we should dance to that." He replied with a soft smile as Cas approached him. "If you want to, that is." He quickly added when Cas froze for a while and saw the hesitance in his face.

Cas simply shrugged his hesitance off, shaking his head a little in the process and gave Dean a small reassuring smile. "No. It's okay. I'm letting go, remember?"

Dean gave him a sad but fond smile.

Cas started setting up. He looked calm enough but deep inside, he was feeling a little tense. He hasn't listened to Edwin McCain's I'll Be for a long while now and he has a reason. It reminded him too much of Michael. It reminded him of how good they were for each other. It reminded him of all the love Michael has given him.

Everything has been set up. Dean went to Cas and asked for his hand—the same way a guy would ask the girl he likes to dance during prom night.

"You're going to be the girl 'cause I'm taller than you." Dean said as Cas took his hand. Cas couldn't help but snort at that. Dean's reasoning has always been amusing to him.

"Fine. Only because I haven't danced in a really, really long time." He replied as the taller man pulled him closer, putting one hand on his waist and the other to hold his hand at chest level. He, in turn, put one hand on his shoulder and let the other be carried by him. Both of them wore a small smile.

The introduction started and they started to sway left and right, back and forth awkwardly but still in time with the music. Both averted their gazes for a while due to the slight shyness and an even slighter sense of embarrassment.

Dean was the first one to return his gaze. The hand that rested on Cas' waist rose up to hold his chin, moving his head so he was looking directly at Dean. When blue eyes met the green ones, Dean smiled softly and brought his hand back on Cas' waist before the words began. As the singer sang, Dean sang along.

The strands in your eyes that colour them wonderful stop me and steal my breath...

As he sang along, they started to move more confidently, doing a waltz that went well with the song. Cas' blue eyes were simply locked on Dean's green ones, neither seemed to want to break the eye contact that controlled their movements, their surroundings, making everything else a simple piece of nothing. They waltzed around the couch, keeping the whole world away from them as they created their own. They were losing each other in the other's eyes, in their own movement.

Dean simply kept on singing along the song as he stared at Cas.

And tell me that we belong together.

Dean put both of his hands on Cas' waist and lifted him up in the air, turning a little to make a beautifully graceful move. Cas in turn laid both of his hands on Dean's shoulders for support before he was put back down on the ground, their previous position back.

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

Dean spun Cas once and then they did a single step of waltz and Cas was spun once more, before the song hit its chorus and they went back to their waltz.

And I'll be... Dean lifted Cas up once more and put him standing on the small table (which amazingly held his weight) better when I'm older... and pulled him down slowly until he's in a kneeling position so that their eyes were of the same level and he rested his forehead on his, never averting their gaze. I'll be the greatest fan of your life. Cas slowly stood up and let Dean's hand slide back down on his sides, going back to his waist. Dean then lifted him up once more and put him back down on the floor to resume their waltz. Their waltz continued around the couch once more until words were heard once more. And rain falls, the song stated as Dean turned Cas so he could fit in his arms. angry on the tin roof as we lie awake on my bed. They continued with the basic waltz with Cas' back against Dean's chest and the taller man's arms around him while his own were crossed over the other while holding Dean's hands. Dean turned Cas once more before the line ended and they were facing each other once more.

They paused for a while to get back with the beat. You're my survival, you're my living proof. My love is alive, not dead. They proceeded with their waltz, moving around the room in the process and if someone was watching them, they'd be surprise that the two men haven't hit anything yet.

And tell me, the song went as Dean laid Cas slightly backwards, supporting the shorter man's body with an arm resting behind him—from the back of his neck and across his spine. Dean's other hand remained on his waist. One of Cas' hands moved to the back of Dean's neck while the other held his arm as Dean slowly glided his body from left to right before pulling him back up to resume their previous position. that we belong together. As the song went on, they continued their waltz until the part before the song hit its bridge.

Dean turned Cas again, pulling his back against his chest while his arms were around the smaller man. And I drop out, I burned up, I fought my way back from the dead. The song said as they waltzed once more, Cas still in Dean's arms, their gaze never leaving each other. They waltz back and forth while turning ever so slightly. As they did so, they were moving around the couch once more. I tuned in, I turned on, remember the things that you, Dean turned Cas once more, making them face each other once more and did the basic waltz once more, moving to one end of the couch. you said? Dean spun Cas around and the smaller man complied, moving to the other end of the couch as he did so. With the prolonged end of the verse, Cas ran towards Dean while Dean was waiting for him. When Cas reached Dean, he rested his hands on both of Dean's shoulders to support himself as he jumped slightly while the taller man held him by the waist, lifted him up and spun together.

I'll be your crying shoulder. The song went back to chorus as Dean put the younger man back down on the ground and started the basics once more. I'll be the greatest fan of your life... The song has started to go back to its low, mellow side. They moved closer, both of Dean's hands now wrapped around both of Cas' waist while the shorterr man's hands were rested at the back of Dean's neck. Their foreheads were touching as they retained they eye contact.

Dean was still singing and was the first to break eye contact by closing his eyes as he nuzzled Cas' nose lightly with his own, making the other man's eyes flutter close as well as their lips were barely touching, and opened his eyes once more as so did Cas. They were just swaying now and Dean lifted Cas up, bridal style. Cas didn't complain, the lifting seemed to be a part of their dance, and his eyes remained on Dean. The greatest fan of your life... Cas broke the eye contact this time, nuzzling his head against the crook of Dean's neck, Dean nuzzling back with his cheek as both their eyes fluttered close.

As the song continued to its instrumental, signalling its incoming ending, Dean slowly walked to the couch and gently put Cas down, laying the shorter man on the couch. Cas, once more, didn't say anything but kept on holding the taller man's gaze. He lifted one of his legs up, making a 45o angle formed by his leg and thigh. One of Dean's hands was resting on the same thigh that formed an angle with Cas'leg while his other hand was carded through Cas' hair. Cas on the other hand, has one of his hands resting on his stomach and the other one was cupping Dean's cheek, rubbing small, soothing circles on the taller man's cheek.

They just stared as each other's eyes, waiting for something as the song was coming to an end. The hand that Dean rested on Cas' thigh slowly and gently slid up. Both of them followed the action as it reached Cas' hand that rested on his stomach. Dean dragged Cas' hand along until he reached the smaller man's chest. They both looked at each other simultaneously, neither man uttering a word.

Dean glanced Cas' lips and looked back up to his eyes quickly, seemingly asking for permission. As a silent permission, Cas chanced a glance at Dean's lips as well and looked back at him, straight in the eye.

Dean can see the slight fear, hesitance and uncertainty in those astounding blue eyes. Hesitantly, he leaned down, ghosting his breath on Cas' slightly parted lips. The two men were now looking at each other's mouth, slowly being pulled into the kiss they so desperately (but unconsciously on Cas' part) wanted. Their lips lightly brushed and both men sighed ever so slightly. They're almost there... until the door slammed open.

AN: Hey guys! Sorry for being late... again. anyways. I hope you actually imagined what I'm trying soooo very hard to show in this damn chapter. Haha.
