Enjoy!

That was the most fun Dean had had in a really long time. After dinner, the girls decided to ride with Dean and Cas to the movie theater. The movie was surprisingly good. Cas jumped several times and screamed once. Dean especially loved it when Cas hid his face against Dean's arm and how he walked a little closer to Dean on the way out to the car. The girls kept laughing at Cas and how scared he was, but he stood by his opinion: that movie was scary as hell and everyone in the car were a bunch of soulless bastards for laughing at him.

After the movie, Dean drove Charlie and Gilda back to Gilda's car. "Dean Winchester, it was a pleasure to meet you," Gilda told him.

"Likewise. I had a lot of fun tonight. We should do this again," Dean said as he leaned against the driver's side door. Cas walked around the car and leaned against it, keeping enough distance between them, but not so much that an evil ghost witch could get him without Dean knowing.

"Definitely!" Charlie agreed. "It's nice seeing my brother so happy," Charlie said, shoving Cas' shoulder playfully.

Cas rolled his eyes, blushing just a little. "Good night, Charlie."

Charlie and Gilda gave the boys hugs before getting in Gilda's car and driving off. Dean smiled at Cas. He was in a really good mood. "You ready to go home?" Dean asked him.

Cas smirked at Dean's words. "Yeah," Cas said softly.

Dean opened the driver's side door and motioned for Cas to get in. Cas slid over to the passenger side as Dean followed. Dean looked around. "It's pretty dark. I don't think anyone would see you if you moved closer."

Cas slid back over, stopping once his side hit Dean's. Dean smiled at him as he started the car. Cas put his arm on the seat behind Dean as Dean laid his hand on Cas' thigh. The ride home was quiet. Dean was enjoying the silence and the company. He had no idea Cas was watching him. Cas could see how content Dean was. He had a small smile on his face as he watched the road.

He moved his arm from around Dean and grabbed the hand Dean had on his leg, entwining his fingers with his. "You okay?" Dean asked him.

Cas looked up at Dean. "Yeah, why?"

"You just look… I don't know. You're frowning a little."

Cas shook his head. "No, I'm fine. I was just thinking."

"About what?"

"About you."

Dean smirked at him. "What about me?"

"About how easy you're taking to this."

Dean's smirk faded. "How easy I'm taking to what?"

"Being gay."

Dean was silent for a moment as he figured out a way to explain his thought process to Cas. "My mom told me that when I was a kid I had this weird… knowledge. Like I knew what everything was without having it explained to me. I just knew how things worked, which she really liked because as soon as I could talk, I could tell her exactly what was going on. So, even though I never admitted to being gay, some part of me always knew I was. I think that's why it wasn't a shock to anyone when I started seeing you, why it wasn't a shock to me that I wanted to date you." Dean squeezed Cas' hand. "Cas, if you're waiting for me to freak out because I'm gay, I wouldn't hold your breath. I really like you and I really like having you around. Being able to physically show you how much I care about you is just the cherry on top of an already awesome sundae."

Cas smiled. "So then you're completely serious about this?"

"This is the most serious I've ever been about a relationship in a really long time."

Cas sighed. "That's good. That's really good."

"Is it?" Dean asked, hoping Cas will give him some clue as to where he was emotionally.

"I've been scared to let myself want this. I just knew you'd change your mind the second we got too close. I really like you, Dean. You're sweet and funny and brave. I have so much fun with you. And tonight, everything was perfect. Charlie is the only family I have," Cas revealed. "The two of you getting along so well just made tonight one of the best nights of my life. Hearing you say that you're serious about this will help shut up that little voice in the back of my head telling me you're going to change your mind."

"That voice doesn't know what it's talking about, Cas," Dean told him as he pulled the car into the garage. He turned off the motor and looked at Cas. "I'm here for the long haul, babe."

Cas sighed, relieved. He could relax. He didn't have to worry or wonder or wait. He could enjoy things now. Nothing was going to stop him from enjoying this. Cas leaned into kiss Dean, but Dean's phone rang. That could stop him from enjoying this…

Dean frowned as he pulled his phone out of his pocket. He was pissed that someone was calling him at ten at night and even more pissed that it interrupted the make out session he was about to have in the front seat of the Impala. He looked at the name on the screen and sighed. "Sammy…" he said before pressing the green button. "You rang, Lurch?"

"Hey, Dean, I know it's late and I know you're probably out with Cas, but Jess' mom and dad were in a car accident. Is there any way that you can watch Haley for the night? Mom and Dad aren't answering."

"Yeah, yeah. No problem. Are they okay?"

"Not sure. Can you come get her?"

"Absolutely. We're on our way."

"I'm sorry, Dean."

"It's no problem, Sammy. Don't worry about it. I'm pulling out of the garage right now. I'll be there in a minute."

"Thanks, Dean."

Dean hung up and set his phone in between him and Cas. "What's going on?"

"Jess' parents got into a car accident. We're going to be babysitting tonight."

Cas opened his mouth, but hesitated. He didn't want to seem inconsiderate of the situation at hand, but he wasn't sure babysitting was a good thing. "I'm not sure it would be… appropriate for her to spend the night with me there."

Dean frowned, keeping his eyes on the road. "It's not like we're going to be doing anything in front of her, Cas. She'll pass out before us and I'll put her to bed, telling her you're sleeping on the couch and in the morning when you walk out of my room, we'll tell her you were just taking a shower."

"… and when she asks why I'm spending the night in the first place?"

Cas smirked at Dean's dumbfounded look. He had nothing. "Slumber party?"

"I don't think that's going to work."

"Benny's crashed at my place before. He came over to hang out and we watched movies until he fell asleep. I cooked him breakfast the next morning and he left."

"So you and Benny, huh?" Cas asked, smirking at Dean.

Dean glanced at Cas and saw his smirk, causing him to roll his eyes. "It was a completely platonic thing, Cas. All Haley has to know is that we've been hanging out all night and you're going to help babysit."

"But I'm her teacher. I think I should go home."

"The school year ends in a few months, right?" Cas nods. "Haley is still going to be in your life after that. Might as well get used to it now."

Cas smiled, leaning over and pressing a kiss under Dean's ear. Dean set his hand back on Cas' thigh, squeezing it gently as a way of kissing him back. The ride went back to being quiet like it was before they got to Dean's place, just enjoying the company and silence. As soon as Dean turned into Sam and Jess' driveway, Cas scooted over to his side of the car. He doesn't want Haley seeing them together in case she's waiting outside on them.

Once parked, Cas and Dean get out of the car. They walked up to the front door and knocked. Jess answered the door in a rush. "Hey, Jess. You okay?"

"No. I don't know what kind of condition they're in. We haven't told Haley anything, okay? We told her that Mom and Dad need Sam and me. So don't tell her any different."

"Of course not. You guys just be careful, okay? Call me when you find something out," Dean told her as he hugged her.

Jess smiled at Cas. "Hey, Cas."

Cas gave her a small wave before she hurried back down the hall. Haley come bouncing down the hall and smiled real big the second she laid eyes on Dean and Cas. "Mr. Novak! What are you doing here?" she asked as she ran up to Dean.

Dean picked her up and explained to her that, "Mr. Novak and I were hanging out tonight when your daddy called me. You don't mind hanging out with your stuffy ole teacher, huh?"

Cas gave Dean his best bitchface, making Dean smile at Cas, winking at him.

"No way!" Haley answered. "Can we watch more Star Trek?"

"I think it's a little late for you to be awake," Cas reminded her.

Haley pouted at Dean and Dean pouted at Cas. Cas rolled his eyes. "Tomorrow is a Saturday… I guess a few episodes wouldn't hurt.

"Yay!" Haley cheered, giving Dean a high-five.

Dean set her back down. "Go get your bag, Twitterbug."

Haley ran back to her room to get her things as Sam and Jess came up the hall. "Slow down, Haley," Sam chastised.

Cas smiled at the faint "Yes, sir." that came from her room. "Hey, Dean, Cas," Sam greeted. "I'll call Mom and Dad in the morning and see if they can take Haley tomorrow."

Dean shook his head. "I'll take care of it. You just worry about Jess and her parents. Let me worry about Haley."

Jess hugged Dean tight. "You're the best brother-in-law a girl could ask for, Dean."

Dean chuckled. "You're pretty awesome yourself, Jess."

She kissed his cheek and pulled away. "Let me see what's taking that girl so long," she said as she hurried back down the hall. Dean and Sam picked up the bags at their feet and took them outside to Sam's brand new Dodge Charger. Cas wasn't sure what to do with himself so he stood there and waited for Jess to get Haley.

"Is it okay for Cas to be… I mean, she's his student and all…"

Dean frowned at his brother. "It's not like he's sleeping with her, Sam. Jeez."

"That's disgusting, Dean. She's nine."

"I'm just saying, Sammy. There's nothing inappropriate going on."

"Is he staying the night?"

"Yeah," Dean said as he tossed Jess' bag into the trunk. "But don't worry about anything. We're going to be on our best platonic behavior all night. It'll be like a Disney movie."

"What are you guys going to do?"

"Meth," Dean deadpanned. He had no idea where this third degree was coming from.

"Dean…"

"I don't know what you're so worried about, Sammy. It's fucking ten at night. She's going to pass out in a couple of hours anyway. We're going to watch some Star Trek and then I'm going to put her ass to bed. In the morning, I'm going to call Mom and take Haley over to them. Okay, Dad?"

Sam rolled his eyes. "I just don't want her walking in on the two of you making out. I'm trying to keep her as innocent as possible for as long as possible."

"And I want to help you do that. Even if that means keeping her locked up in her room until she's thirty."

Sam smiled at his brother. "Thanks, Dean."

Dean smiled back at his brother but before he could say anything, he heard Haley calling out for him. "Speak of the devil…"

Sam watched his brother run into the house to get his daughter. Sam had no qualms about Dean and Cas watching Haley. He knew she was in two sets of the best hands she could be in. He just worried about his brother scarring his little girl. He's walked in on Dean making out before. There was nothing PG-13 about that.

Haley was ready to go which meant Sam and Jess could get on the road. They promised to call tomorrow to tell Dean what was going on and to check on Haley. After goodbye hugs, Sam and Jess left. "You ready to boldly go where no nine year old has gone before?"

"Yeah!" she cheered out.

Dean strapped her in the back seat as Cas got in the passenger seat. "Are you going to stay and watch Star Trek with us, Mr. Novak?"

"I wouldn't miss it for the world," he told her.

^O^

Three episodes later and Haley was out like a light. Dean had tucked her into bed while Cas got ready for bed. Dean joined him and as much as they both wanted to fool around, neither of them wanted to take that risk of Haley waking up and coming into Dean's room. Cas almost slept on the couch, but thankfully, Dean talked him out of it. They both woke up early the next morning, but Dean got out of bed first. Cas was far too tempting lying their half-awake with his messy bed hair and groggy voice.

He crept down the hall and started breakfast. He didn't want to wake Haley before it was finished. She had a bad problem with eating all the bacon before he'd finished the rest of breakfast. Cas walked in not long after he started. He took a deep breath and smiled at the wonderful smell of French Toast and eggs and bacon. Cas stepped up behind Dean on his way to the coffee pot and placed a couple of kisses on the back of his neck.

Dean smiled at him as he walked away, smacking his ass as he went. Cas chuckled while he made his coffee. Once he had a big cup of java in his hands, he stood behind Dean and leaned against the island, watching him cook. Dean turned around and trapped him between his arms. "Dean, Haley could wake up at any moment."

"It's okay, Cas. We'll hear her open the door. Just shut up and fucking kiss me."

Cas smiled at Dean's demand and kissed him. The two of them got so caught up in finally being able to kiss one another that they didn't hear the door to the spare room open or close, and they sure as hell didn't hear the little girl sneaking down the hall, preparing to scare her uncle. Haley loved it when could get him. Dean always overreacted to the scare and screamed and jumped around like a little girl.

She snuck a peak to see where he was to figure out the best method of scaring Dean, but what she saw instead confused her. Her uncle and teacher were standing in front of the stove kissing. Dean had him pressed against the island with his hands under Mr. Novak's shirt. Mr. Novak had his hands in Dean's hair.

Haley wasn't sure what was going on. She'd walked in on her mom and dad kissing like that one time and they got onto her for sneaking around the house. Did that mean that Dean and Mr. Novak loved each other like her mom and dad? Were they going to get married? She got excited at the prospect of having Mr. Novak as her uncle. He was the best teacher ever and if he was around every time she got to hang out with Dean, then that would make her time here even better!

Haley didn't want to interrupt them, but the smell of the food on the stove was making her pretty hungry. She didn't want to get in trouble either. So she snuck back to her room and opened and shut the door again, this time doing it a little harder so it would slam shut instead. She took her time walking down the hall and when she got to the kitchen, Cas was sitting at the island and Dean was cooking breakfast. Haley smiled brightly as the two men greeted her. She was so excited. She couldn't wait to tell her friends, Molly and Brittany, about Mr. Novak becoming her uncle. They were going to be so jealous!

After breakfast, Dean picked up the dishes. "Alright, sweetheart, I hate to do this to you, but I'm going to have to take you over to Nana's." Haley didn't even respond. She just started pouting. Cas did everything he could not to chuckle at that overly exaggerated sad face. Dean turned around and saw her looking at him. He leaned against the counter and sighed. "I've got some things to get done before I have to go to work tomorrow. How about Thursday night you and me go see a movie? I'll come to pick you up from school and take you to go see whatever movie you can get into."

Haley's pout receded slowly before she nodded her head. "Deal."

"Awesome. Go get dressed," he said as he grabbed his phone off the counter. Dean glanced at Cas as he dialed his mom's number. "You don't have anything to do, right?"

"Nothing that can't wait until tomorrow."

"Awesome," he said before putting the phone up to his ear and hearing his mother greet him.

"Hey, mom. We've got a small situation," he said as he took the phone call outside so Haley wouldn't hear him. When Haley came back into the living room, she had her bag packed and ready to go.

"What are you going to do today, Mr. Novak?"

"I don't know. I think your uncle wants to hang out a little bit longer."

Haley smiled, trying to contain her happiness. She saw something she wasn't supposed to see and it was hard to not be happy about it. "Dean's fun to hang out with. There was one time we built a blanket fort in the living room and we had a war with Nerf guns."

"Dean has Nerf guns?"

Haley nodded. "Daddy and Uncle Benny does, too. Whenever we have family dinners at our house Uncle Benny and Dean and Daddy run around shooting each other."

Cas smiled at the thought of the grown men having a Nerf gun war. Before he could make any comments, Dean walked back into the house. "Well, look at that. You're ready to go!"

"Yup!"

"Nana said she was going to see if Brittany and Molly could come and play with you this afternoon."

"Yay!"

"You wanna ride with me?" Dean asked Cas.

Cas shook his head. "I think I'll wait for a more… formal time to take that ride with you."

Dean winked and snapped at him. "Gotcha," he said. "Come on, Haley."

"Bye, Mr. Novak!"

"Bye, Haley."

Cas sat back and sighed. He really hoped that today was just him and Dean holed up in Dean's house not doing a damn thing. Cas looked at the kitchen and decided to take care of the dirty dishes while Dean was gone. That way when he got back, there would be nothing getting in Dean's way of fool around on the couch. Cas got another cup of coffee before getting to work on the task at hand. He wanted to make sure he had plenty of energy for later.

I hope Haley, Brittany, and Molly can keep secrets! O.O

Sorry this took so long to get out. It's been hell here at the Batcave. If you want to know more about it, you can go find my personal tag on tumblr. Hopefully the next chapter won't take as long. :)
