December 2033 (Castiel is 44, Dean is 45 (almost 46), Eden is 20, Adrian is 17, the twins are 13, Noah is 7, Gabriel is 48, Heidi is 4 years old).

A year and a half had passed and Noah was in the second grade now. His first year in school had gone rather well. He had been very nervous and shy on his first day, but his good friend Abby and a few others from his kindergarten were in his class so he had some friends to hang out with. Most of his classmates thought he was an angel, but some of the parents who knew that he was a hybrid had a bad influence on some of the children, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the negative attitudes that Noah's siblings had suffered from. But Noah's wings were different than a full blood angel's. They weren't nearly as soft, and unfortunately their slight roughness was visible in the feathers, causing some of his classmates to stare oddly at them. Especially the alpha boys made fun of him sometimes. Castiel had been devastated the first time Noah came home and was crying because of this. He was doing rather well in school though, and quickly learned how to spell, how to read, and he could do some math as well. Isaac and Lily protected him whenever they could, especially when they walked into school together in the mornings. Adrian had started in high school which was at a separate location so they didn't see him during the day anymore.

Dean and Castiel had their 20th anniversary on the 21st of December that year. It was twenty years ago that they had been officially mated (married). Dean had big plans for their anniversary, and he had ordered a table for them at a very nice restaurant in town just for the two of them. Adrian would be babysitting his younger siblings while they were gone. That morning Castiel had surprised Dean extra early by serving him breakfast on the bed before the kids were up, and Dean had given Cas a whole bucket of flowers which he had kept hidden until that morning after he had bought it the day before.

Dean and Castiel picked up Noah and the twins in the after school care on that day. But as soon as they got there, Castiel was immediately concerned by the slightly depressed look on Noah's face, and the teacher told them that the headmaster wanted to have a word with them.

"What happened?" Castiel asked and glanced between the three children as they stood in the almost empty after school care.

Isaac stared at the ground, and Lily looked between him and Noah hesitantly.

"Isaac threw a bucket of cold water at someone," Lily said slowly.

"He did what?!" Dean blurted. He glared at Isaac who flinched somewhat.

"They were harassing Noah!" Isaac said to his defense. Both he and Lily were thirteen years old now. Where Isaac was still hyper and always up to no good, Lily had become more quiet and responsible and wasn't always up for Isaac's pranks anymore. Isaac was still a little taller than his twin sister, and his voice was starting to get deeper. Lily had a more feminine form now, and her white wings reached to the mid of her calves.

Noah stared at his feet and pulled his wings closer to himself when Dean and Castiel turned their gazes to him. "They were being so mean…" he murmured quietly.

Castiel squatted down to be eye level with his youngest child. "What did they do?"

Noah looked up at him from under his lashes, and his eyes teared up a little. "Victor said that I'm wrong; that my wings aren't soft or attractive, and that no one would ever want me. And then he called me a freak." His voice cracked at the last few words.

Castiel felt his heart ache at those words. Submissives' wings were the softest kind of wings – often softer than a female's – and alphas preferred to have a mate with extremely soft wings. It was one of the reasons why Lucifer had wanted to mate with Castiel all those years ago; because his feathers were unusually soft and thus very attractive. But Noah wasn't like that. He was half demon but the only physical evidence of that was the fact that his feathers were slightly rough like a demon's. Demon females and submissives did have softer wings than betas and alphas, but always with some of that roughness that characterized a demon's wings. So Noah's wings looked like an angel's wings but felt like a demon's wings, and it would be hard to find a mate who would appreciate that combination. Especially alphas were often very picky when it came to wings.

"Come here," Castiel sighed and pulled Noah into a hug. The boy sniffled and wrapped his arms around his papa, burying his face in his neck.

"I gave that stupid kid who said that a bucket of water in the face. It isn't the first time he's harassed Noah. He deserved it," Isaac muttered.

Dean sighed and ran a hand down his face. "Well, we still have to go talk to the principal, there is no way around that. I'm glad you're looking after your little brother but it's not okay to throw water at people. Got it?"

Isaac nodded quietly, still feeling unfairly treated, and Castiel grabbed Noah's hand as they walked towards the principal's office together.

Principal Martin was still the principal of the mixed species school, like he had been for all the years that Dean and Castiel's children had been there. The principal had always been supportive of them since he was the son of an angel/demon hybrid mother, and he wanted the best for the angel/demon hybrids that went to his school.

When they entered the office Principal Martin shook their hands and welcomed them. Even though he was understanding of Isaac's motive for throwing water at another student it was still against the school's rules so he couldn't let it slip.

"Isaac's got quite a record," the principal said and looked through Isaac's files. "If this was any other student I would probably have expelled them by now. He's harassed other students, broken school property, he doesn't obey the teachers, and he's lousy at doing his homework I hear. Now, I know he did most of those things because some of his pranks went wrong or because he was getting back at the bullies, which is why I haven't expelled him yet, but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna have a problem explaining my softness towards him to my subordinates and to the other parents."

Isaac shifted uncomfortably in his chair as they all sat in front of the principal's desk in his office, and he glanced back at the principal quietly.

"I completely understand your situation, Principal Martin," Dean replied and glanced briefly at Isaac. "Both Cas and I will have a serious talk with Isaac to prevent him from causing more trouble."

Principal Martin nodded, pleased. "When he goes to high school he won't have me to take him under my wing anymore, so to speak. He'd probably get expelled pretty fast if he doesn't learn to control himself."

"Hey, I control myself just fine," Isaac said.

"Isaac," Dean warned and growled lightly. He glared at his son who muttered a quiet 'sorry' and lowered his gaze.

They said goodbye to the principal soon afterwards and walked out of the building towards their car.

Dean glanced at Isaac the whole time, and once they were outside he said, "You gotta learn to control your impulses. No more standing on top of the tables in class to entertain them with your tricks or jokes, no more running recklessly around the corridors and bumping into people, no more cursing in class, no more water-throwing, and no more using school property to perform a trick that's likely to end wrong anyway, you hear me?" His voice was firm and authoritative, making Lily shiver a bit even though it wasn't directed at her.

"So I'm just supposed to let them harass Noah?!" Isaac growled and stared back at Dean defiantly. They had all stopped walking by now and were standing in the middle of the almost abandoned parking lot. The cold winter breeze caused Noah to shiver and wrap his arms and wings around himself, and he stared between his parents and Isaac, not liking that they were fighting.

"No, you're supposed to let the teachers take care of those brats and not make things worse!" Dean growled back. "And don't talk back to me!"

Isaac gave him a defiant glare, and Castiel slowly stepped forward.

"Listen to your father, Isaac. It's not that we do not approve of you protecting Noah, it's that you are getting yourself into trouble and thus also the principal who is going through great lengths to keep you at this school," Castiel spoke. "Your behavior is not always acceptable, and you know that."

Isaac seemed to back down again but he still felt like he wasn't being treated fairly. "Yeah, yeah, I'll try to 'improve'…"

"Good," Dean said. "Now let's head home. And I don't wanna be called to the principal's office again anytime soon." He headed over to the car with Castiel and Noah right on his heels. Lily walked a few feet behind them with Isaac, giving her twin brother a rueful look and brushed her tail against his to cheer him up. Isaac continued to pout and act slightly offended – he wasn't the type that liked to be told what to do – but his sister's gentle touch cheered him up a little.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

It was 4:50pm when they came home – Dean and Castiel had left work early, and it was their last workday before the Christmas holidays since they had taken the rest of the week off.

They had picked up Adrian from his taekwondo practice on the way home. He still went to practice, and both he and his friend Jeremy had the black belt now. Adrian had also gotten taller; he was just as tall as Dean now, and his white wings with a mix of a few black feathers were sharp and muscular, and considered very attractive by the girls. He was good in school and came home with good grades, but he didn't always spend his time studying – he often went out to hang out with his friends in town, but he was always back again by 10pm like Dean and Castiel had told him to. One more thing that had changed was that Adrian was no longer a virgin. He had had his first time with an angel girl named Maria whom he had now been dating for six months. She was in the grade below him and they had fallen in love after an incident where Maria had accidentally spilled her milkshake on Adrian in the high school's cafeteria. She had made a lot of efforts to make it up for him and along the way they had developed feelings for each other.

Isaac immediately went over to turn on the TV, looking for something worth watching, and Lily quietly sat down next to him to keep him company together with Molly. Eden wasn't at home; she was in college and was getting good grades so far.

Castiel looked at Noah every now and then, trying to see how the boy was doing. Noah had been a little quiet in the car on the way home because he was still a little upset over today's events. Adrian had learned from Lily about what had happened that day.

"When you are leaving?" Adrian asked his parents and snatched an apple from the fruit basket that was always on the dining table. He took a bite from it and looked at his parents for an answer.

"Well, I ordered the table for 7pm so we're leaving at 6:30 or so," Dean said and smiled at Castiel who was standing next to him in the kitchen area.

Castiel smiled back at Dean before looking at Adrian. "There are leftovers for you and your siblings in the fridge, you just need to warm it up and serve it."

"Cool. I'm a bad cook anyway. It's too bad Eden isn't around anymore to cook for us…" Adrian said and lowered his eyes to look at his apple.

"But you make good pancakes and sandwiches," Noah argued as he came over to them.

Adrian chuckled. "You can't survive on that, though."

"I could."

Dean and Castiel laughed, and Dean reached down to ruffle Noah's messy black hair. "I'm sure you could, kiddo." Noah just smiled and swatted his hand away from his hair.

"When is Maria coming over again?" Noah asked curiously and looked up at his big brother. Noah had been very wary of Maria first, not completely understanding that Adrian had a girlfriend now, but he had come to like her – not enough to let her hold his favorite toy but enough to let her ruffle his hair without much protest.

"I don't know. Maybe next weekend," Adrian said and smiled down at Noah before taking another bite of his apple. He ate fast so he had almost consumed it by now.

"Use protection," Dean coughed, giving Adrian a firm look.

Adrian rolled his eyes. "I always do, jeez."

"What protection?" Noah asked, glancing up at his brother and father in confusion.

Castiel chuckled and reached down to touch the top of Noah's head. "Nothing, sweetie. You will know when you are older." Noah pouted up at him, hating when he was being told those words.

The doorbell suddenly rang, making everyone frown. They weren't expecting guests, so no one knew who would ring their doorbell now.

"I'll get it," Castiel said and walked around Dean and Noah and went towards the entrance hall. The doorbell rang again, and Castiel peeked through the door spy and was surprised to see Gabriel there. He made a disgusted face when Gabriel moved his face up to the door spy and opened his mouth so that Castiel could see right into it. It was such a typical thing for Gabriel to do. Castiel finally opened the door and was met by Gabriel's grinning face.

"Hey little bro! How are you!" Gabriel said cheerfully and pulled Castiel into a tight hug. His youngest daughter Heidi was standing next to him, peering up at them curiously.

"Gabriel," Castiel groaned when the other angel squeezed him tightly before letting go. "What you are doing here?"

"Well, Katie is out with a friend tonight and Mark is visiting some friends, so Heidi and I got bored and decided to drop by for a visit." Gabriel smiled down at his daughter who leaned into his side and looked up at Castiel with her large, light brown eyes. She was four years old now, had light brown hair, and grey wings with some white and brown in them.

Castiel blinked and gave Heidi a warm smile before looking back up at Gabriel. "You should have called. Dean and I are going out tonight for our anniversary."

"What, seriously?! Talk about bad timing. I can babysit the kids if you want?"

Castiel rolled his eyes and finally stepped aside to let Gabriel and Heidi enter. "I don't mind that. And don't do such disgusting things in front of my door spy again," he grumbled.

Gabriel barked out a laugh. "Oh, c'mon! I knew you were looking through the door spy – you always do – so I decided to give you something to look at."

The younger angel grimaced in disgust. "I can live without it." Gabriel laughed again, and Heidi stared up at them in confusion.

Dean, Adrian, Noah and Molly had come out into the entrance hall now, curious to see who their guests were.

"Gabe?" Dean said, surprised to see the brown-winged angel.

"Dean-o!" Gabriel grinned and went over to pull Dean into the usual, lung-squeezing hug. Dean groaned in discomfort when the beta angel squeezed him half to death before letting go. "I completely forgot that today it's been twenty years since you and my bro got married! Damn, time passes so fast."

Heidi's face lit up when she saw Noah whom she was good friends with. Molly walked over to her, sniffing at her legs and feet, and Heidi shrieked and giggled.

"Yeah, it really does," Dean replied.

"Hey uncle Gabe," Adrian greeted Gabriel, leaning against the doorframe. He was already done with his apple now.

"Hello there, Adrian," Gabriel grinned and looked his nephew up and down. "Leaning against the doorframe like a real teenager; I like your style."

Adrian laughed and moved away from the doorframe again, only to be attacked from behind by Isaac and Lily who came running into the entrance hall after they had heard Gabriel's voice.

"Uncle Gabe! What are you doing here?" Isaac grinned and went over to greet his uncle.

"Hey, kiddos. Damn, you guys are getting tall!" Gabriel grinned at them. "I'm just dropping by for a visit, but it seems I've got a bad timing…"

"If you like, you and Heidi may stay the night," Castiel offered. "Dean and I will be home at around 10-11pm I assume. We both have Christmas holidays now so it is not a problem for you to stay."

"Got yourselves some early holidays there, huh?" Gabriel smirked at them. "So did I, and Heidi isn't going the pre-k again until after New Year, so I've got all the time in the world. And I was hoping you would offer us to stay so I brought our toothbrushes and some extra clothes." He lifted the two plastic bags he was holding to show them.

Dean rolled his eyes at his brother-in-law. "Typical you to invite yourself to stay over."

Gabriel barked out a laughed and helped Heidi get her shoes and jacket off. "Yep, that's me," he smirked.

"It's so cool that you came! Now it won't be a boring night after all," Isaac grinned.

"But you said earlier that it's always fun when dad and papa aren't home," Lily said and raised an eyebrow at her twin.

"It is, but it's more fun with Uncle Gabe around," Isaac said and grinned up at his uncle.

Gabriel chuckled and ruffled Isaac's short, sandy-blonde hair which was spiked up a little. "Yeah, I'm the funnest person on earth, glad you noticed that."

Dean rolled his eyes and Castiel couldn't help but smile at Gabriel's comment. They went into the living room after Gabriel and Heidi had taken off their shoes and jackets, and Noah and Heidi began to run around the house with Molly, playing catch. Molly was getting old, she was seven years old already, and she didn't have as much energy as she used to but she could still run around and have fun.

Everyone was still standing up, and Gabriel slapped his hands together and looked over at Isaac and Lily who stood by the TV.

"So," Gabriel said. "Now that my youngest nephew and niece – apart from little Noah of course – are teenagers, surely you've begun doing teenager stuff? Like getting mad at your parents, cursing more than necessary, kissing hot girls and guys, and surfing dirty porn on the internet?" He grinned at them when Lily's face reddened a bit and Isaac seemed pretty unaffected by what should have been embarrassing to be asked.

"Hmm, well, I didn't kiss anyone yet…" Isaac murmured.

Gabriel's eyes widened. "But you watched dirty porn?"

"Gabriel! Stop asking my children such things," Castiel chastised, glaring at his brother.

Adrian snickered as he stood in the background, watching his parents' shocked and outraged faces.

"I might have seen some," Isaac admitted. Lily gasped at him in shock.

"Isaac!" Castiel scolded, almost surprised that Isaac would do such a thing.

Dean groaned. "Sounds like we need to child-proof the computers better."

"I watched it on Matthew's computer at his house," Isaac chuckled. Matthew was one of his good friends.

"Well, then we need to have a talk with his parents, then."

Gabriel laughed. "Oh c'mon, all teenagers watch porn and it's almost impossible to stop them. Which reminds me that I once stumbled upon this magazine—"

"Gabriel, I do not want to hear about your dirty magazines, and this conversation is getting inappropriate. Heidi and Noah are here, remember?" Castiel growled, cutting Gabriel off, and glared daggers at his brother.

"Hey, just let me finish, this is actually pretty interesting. And Noah and Heidi are running around anyway," Gabriel argued and glanced at the two as they came running past them before disappearing upstairs. "So, I found this magazine in a shop a few weeks ago, and it had two whole pages with angel/demon pairings on them! It was really juicy stuff. Unfortunately when I came back a week later the magazine had been taken down and the owner said he'd stopped selling it because a group of guys almost beat him up over having it in the store. But hey – it's still progress!"

Castiel groaned. "I still don't want to hear about your magazines…"

Dean was surprised by Gabriel's story and stared back at him in disbelief. "Seriously? In a magazine?"

"Yep. Completely X-rated," Gabriel smirked.

Lily groaned and covered her ears. "This is disgusting! Can we please switch topics now?"

"I agree, this is getting awkward," Adrian murmured behind them, crossing his arms.

Gabriel turned around and smirked at him. "Why Adrian, I didn't take you for a prude."

"I'm not, but I just don't wanna talk about these things with my family."

"Good point," Gabriel spoke, looking thoughtful.

They finally switched the topic and sat down on the couch.

Dean and Castiel were going out soon, so after an hour they both disappeared upstairs to get dressed for their special dinner. They both put on formal clothing since the restaurant was a kind of fancy one, and Castiel put on the mating pendant that Dean had given him all those years ago for Christmas.

At 6:30pm they said goodbye to everyone and took off in the Impala, leaving the children with Gabriel. Castiel trusted Adrian to keep Gabriel in line in case his brother started talking about inappropriate stuff again or let Isaac break the house rules. Gabriel usually respected the rules in the house, but he was still so much of a child inside that he couldn't help but let them all eat more candy than necessary or tell them to let the dishes be or something.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Dean took Castiel to a nice restaurant a bit away from the center of the city. It was a steak house which was fitting since they both liked meat, vegetables and whatever else came along with the meals. Dean had been there before once with Sam many years ago, and also once or twice for birthday parties with his colleagues. Castiel, however, had never been there before. They didn't eat out much, only on special occasions.

The angel's eyes widened when they entered the restaurant. The restaurant had style – the walls were made of bricks and you could see the worn brick stones in some places, giving it a sort of ancient but yet cozy look. The lights were dimmed and there were candles on the walls and on the tables. The tables were made of thick oak wood and were painted in black, and the waiters and waitresses ran from table to table but seemed to take their time and service each customer in the best way possible. Their outfits were black with a white shirt underneath, and the waitresses all wore skirts.

Dean grinned when he felt Castiel's positive reaction through their bond, and they let a waitress lead them over to their table. Castiel glanced around at the other guests, trying to read their faces when they looked up and saw him and Dean – an angel and a demon – walking towards a table together. Most people gave them an odd frown before quickly minding their own business again, and a few of the kids stared at them curiously.

Their waitress – a young demon female who reminded them very much of Eden – led them over to a table in the corner of the room where they could have some privacy (Dean had asked for that when he ordered the table), and smiled at them before gesturing at them to sit down.

Castiel was surprised when Dean quickly came over to pull his chair out for him, and he gave his mate a grateful and slightly shy smile before sitting down. Dean smirked and went around the table to sit down opposite from Castiel.

"Here is the menu. I'll come back in ten minutes to take your order," the waitress smiled and handed each of them a menu.

"Thank you," Castiel told her, smiling, and watched as she smiled back before disappearing again. He shifted slightly in his seat, trying to get comfortable with his wings resting on either side of his chair, and briefly glanced around at people before looking at Dean. "They aren't really staring at us." They were sitting by the wall so they both had the wall on one side of them and the rest of the restaurant to their other side.

"Yeah, I'm glad." Dean looked around, pleased when he didn't see any racist glances in their direction. "That kid three tables away from ours still finds us interesting, though."

Castiel looked over at the demon boy who was looking over his shoulder at them. The boy seemed to be around Noah's age, and he quickly looked away when Castiel met his eyes. The angel chuckled. "Let him stare, he is just curious."

They looked through the menu, picking out dishes that they liked. The waitress came back after ten minutes like promised and told them to wait until the food was ready.

"So, Cas," Dean said after the waitress was gone and leaned slightly forward while looking at the angel. "We've been married for twenty years now and bonded and mated for like twenty-four years and I just realized you've told me almost nothing about your childhood and how you grew up, apart from your parents dying and Michael raising you and Gabriel. The things you told me were mostly negative memories… Don't you have any good memories from back then?"

Castiel blinked back at Dean, surprised by the question. Dean almost never asked him about his life before he met Dean since it wasn't something that Castiel liked to talk about. The memories of his parents' death, Michael's strict upbringing and how Castiel was practically sold to Lucifer was not something the angel liked to be reminded of or talk about.

The angel hesitated for a few seconds, pondering over what to say. "Of course I have good memories… But I mostly have Gabriel to thank for that."

Dean chuckled. "He's always been good at lightening up your mood, huh?"

Castiel smiled. "Yes, I think he saw it as his job to cheer me up. He would pick me up every day after school after our parents died to take me down to the riverside. That way we didn't have to go home to Michael right away. There was an ice cream shop there where he bought us ice creams with the money he had secretly taken from Michael's wallet. He always let me pick whatever flavor I liked, and then we sat down on the grass by the river bank and looked at the water and at the boats sailing by. It was my favorite time of the day…" He stared down at the table, smiling absently as he suddenly felt very nostalgic.

Dean smiled fondly as he watched the peaceful, nostalgic expression on his mate's face, and how his beautiful lips curled into a smile at the memories. "Did you have any good friends in school?"

Castiel considered the question for a moment before saying, "A few, yes, but mostly in the lower grades. I mostly hung out with the girls, like Noah does, because they were easier for me to interact with. The boys – particularly the alphas – were noisy and rough, and the theme of their playing did not really appeal much to me. I believe I have told you about this once before, many years ago…"

The demon grinned. "Yeah, once I think. And well, I can't really imagine you playing cowboys, pirates or superheroes with anyone. My Little Pony is probably more your style."

Castiel scowled at him. "That's very funny, Dean," he muttered sarcastically.

Dean laughed. "So what about high school then? You never told me much about that. And you couldn't play My Little Pony then anymore." He laughed again at the glare Castiel sent him.

"High school was not a very enjoyable time for me. I always went to angel-only schools because Michael didn't want me anywhere near demons or demon hybrids, and the alpha angels in high school were… well, perverted and egocentric. It is not easy to be a submissive in high school," Castiel murmured and stared down at the table. "I'm slightly worried about how Noah will handle high school when he reaches that age… I don't want him to be objectified like I did."

"I'm sure Noah will be fine. And if any of those alphas hurt him or make him uncomfortable I'll kick their asses," Dean said, growling lightly.

Castiel laughed softly. "I know you would. I wish I had met you in high school to help me with the alpha angels, but I had Balthazar who kept most of the other alphas off me. Unfortunately I lost contact with him when we started in college in different states."

Dean looked utterly surprised. He hadn't heard about Balthazar before. "Wait, you had an alpha angel keeping other alphas off your back? Seriously? …Did you two—"

"No, Dean, I did not sleep with him," Castiel cut him off, knowing exactly what he was about to say, and rolled his eyes. "You know that I was a virgin when I met you, and that I haven't been with anyone else but you."

"Good, 'cause I don't wanna share you," Dean growled, getting possessive again.

Castiel smiled and was mildly amused and pleased by his mate's possessiveness towards him.

A few minutes later their dinner was served. Castiel had ordered a steak with vegetables, some sauce and potatoes, while Dean had ordered a bit more fat steak with French fries, sauce, and a few vegetables. The angel was positively surprised by the quality and good taste of the food, and he now understood why Dean had been so eager to pick this particular restaurant.

They continued chatting during dinner, touching hands on the table every now and then, and Castiel smiled whenever he felt the demon's tail brush his leg in a loving gesture.

They sat in the restaurant for over two hours in total, eating, chatting, and having a good time. Dean's eyes drifted towards the demon mating pendant around Castiel's neck every now and then and smiled whenever he saw it. He got a smug look on his face every time another male demon looked over at Castiel and saw the pendant, because the pendant was a sign of Dean's love towards Castiel, and the fact that the angel wore it meant that he accepted Dean's love and his claim on him.

After they finished in the restaurant they headed outside to the parking lot. Castiel giggled and shied away from Dean when the demon leaned in and nipped at his neck while they walked over to the Impala. Dean knew every spot on the angel's body that could make him moan, scream, shudder, or giggle, and he didn't have a problem using that to his advantage.

It was a mutual understanding between them that next thing on their list was to have sex. Preferably in the Impala now that Gabriel was in their house.

They had just reached the Impala, and Castiel was still giggling and trying to push Dean away when they suddenly heard loud, aggressive voices nearby, like someone was having a fight. Dean immediately looked up in alert and finally spotted where the noise came from. On the sidewalk next to the parking lot there were two alpha demons having a fight. The larger demon glared down the other alpha and spread his sharpened wings in aggression.

"Get your fucking eyes off my mate!" the larger alpha snarled and took a threatening step towards the other male. There was a female demon standing behind the large alpha, desperately trying to stop the fight but her mate wasn't listening. A few people on the sidewalk looked up in horror and quickly went off in another direction, and three children, who were with their parents out to eat in the same restaurant that Dean and Castiel had just been to, cried and sought comfort with their mother.

"What are you talking about? I barely looked at her!" the second alpha retorted, baring his teeth in anger.

It made the first alpha snap, and he attacked the other demon with a loud growl and began punching at him. It made the children cry even more, and Dean wings twitched in anger behind him.

"Dean, don't!" Castiel exclaimed when Dean started walking over to the two fighting demons with his wings spread out in aggression, but Dean wasn't listening.

Dean snarled as he pushed the two fighting alphas apart and gave each of them a punch to the face, making them both fall back in surprise and pain. "Stop fighting in the middle of the damned sidewalk like that! You're scaring the children and females here!" Dean growled and glared between the two other demons who stared back at him in bewilderment. It was now that Dean noticed the smell of booze on both of them.

The first alpha who had started the fight wiped some blood off mouth and glared at Dean. "Mind your own businesses," he snapped and took a swing at Dean who dodged the blow with his hand. Dean snarled and spread out his sharp wings, making the other alpha take a step back because Dean's wings were impressively sharp and massive. The alpha calmed down a bit when his mate put her hand on his shoulder and begged him to stop and let the matter drop.

The woman and the three scared children sighed in relief when the two fighting alphas backed down. They had been pretty close to the scene, and the two demons had almost collided with them during the fight.

The second alpha just huffed before turning around to leave, and as soon as both of the two fighting demons went off in different directions Dean finally walked back over to Castiel.

Castiel had a small, relieved smile on his face when Dean walked over to him, and he moved forwards to allow the demon to place his hands on his hips. "I'm glad it didn't turn into a real fight."

Dean chuckled. "Me too. Don't wanna be too sore when I get to finally fuck that pretty, little ass of yours."

"Dean," Castiel muttered, flushing. At least no one could hear them since everyone was gone by now and the parking lot was empty. There were a few people walking by on the sidewalk nearby but they were too far away to hear them.

"What? Don't I get to fuck it?" Dean asked and leaned in to gently bite at the angel's jaw and ear while speaking, and tightened his hands possessively on the angel's hips.

"You do, but not here," Castiel said, slightly amused, and shied away from Dean's mouth when the demon's actions caused shivers to run up his spine.

Dean pulled away and had a smug smirk on his face when he smelled the telltale sweet scent of Cas' slick. "Did my little alpha display earlier excite you?" he teased.

Castiel tried not to let his cheeks go red, and he averted Dean's eyes slightly while murmuring, "You already know it did."

Dean grinned and pulled away, slinging his arm around Cas' shoulders and led him over to the Impala.

They got into the car and Dean drove them off to remote place where no one would see them in the car. He didn't want people peeking in through the windows and see Cas naked – that sight was for Dean only, and he wasn't going to share it with anyone. He drove them to the outskirts of the city by the big hill where city met forest. He found a good spot to park the car, away from people, and as soon as he had turned off the car he leaned over and captured Castiel's lips in a deep, hungry kiss. The angel mewled and kissed him back greedily, moving his hand up to grasp Dean's short hair, drawing a pleased growl from the demon.

"Backseat," Dean growled and began moving them towards the backseat. Their wings got slightly in the way so it was a struggle to move in the cramped space without accidentally hitting their wings against something, but they managed and Castiel immediately lay back against the seat and spread his legs for Dean to fit between them.

Dean groaned as he took in the sight of Cas laying back against the seat with his legs spread, his wings looking kind of messy and confined in the small space of the car, his hair ruffled as always, and his eyes lust-blown as he stared up at Dean. The demon quickly leaned down to kiss those soft, pink lips again, and together they quickly began undressing. Their shirts, pants, shocks, shoes and eventually their underwear was tossed over the seat and landed somewhere on the front seat and on the floor, and Dean leaned back to take in the sight of the naked angel under him. He ran his rough hand over Castiel's hipbone, over his flat stomach, his navel, up his chest and to his nipples which he gently teased between his fingers. The mating pendant was still around Castiel's neck and Dean smiled as he looked at it.

"Dean…" Castiel leaned his head back, moaning, and closed his eyes as Dean touched him.

It had been over twenty-four years now since they first met, and the sight of his angel mate could always make Dean harden instantly. He knew that Cas felt the same way about him, judging from how he could often smell the scent of Cas' slick whenever he saw Dean naked, even when the angel denied that the sight alone did such things to him. Dean suddenly thought back to the first time he saw Castiel. How he had instantly been annoyed with having the angel as his roommate but at the same time being so intrigued by him and those gorgeous, white wings. He still saw that shy, nerdy art-student in Cas sometimes because the angel hadn't really changed much over the years – not really in his looks or in his personality. Of course they had both gotten more mature after they got jobs and became parents, but when they were alone they were right back to being the young in-love couple they used to be. Except of course when they had a fight, which did occur sometimes but they always made up rather quickly.

Castiel gave Dean an odd look when he noticed the absent and thoughtful look on the demon's face, and he gently tugged at Dean's mind through their bond to snap him out of it.

Dean blinked, getting back to reality, and smiled at Cas. "Sorry, I was spacing out. I was thinking about when I first met you."

"Oh," Castiel said. "You mean when you called me a weird angel and told me to mind my own business?" He raised an eyebrow at him.

Dean laughed and moved his body down over Castiel's so that their stomachs were touching and Castiel's legs were on either side of Dean's body. "I'm surprised you remember that. But now you're my weird angel, so don't take it so much to heart anymore."

"I'm not… Things have changed."

Dean smirked and kissed his mate again.

They roamed their hands over each other's bodies, gently tugging at feathers, grasping hair, clashing teeth sometimes and entwining their tongues. Dean tail moved on its own and rubbed against Castiel's naked, hairless legs, and when it ventured up to his thighs and almost to his rear the angel growled into Dean's mouth in approval.

The scent of Castiel's ever more flowing slick and his leaking oil glands made Dean's cock unbearably hard. He pulled away from Cas' lips, catching his breath, and shifted their hips so that he could reach down between the angel's spread legs with his hand and push his fingers into his waiting hole. Castiel hissed softly when Dean pressed his fingers in without any teasing, beginning to twist them around and using Cas' natural slick to help opening him up.

"Fuck, Cas, I can't wait to be inside you. You're always so warm and tight, and it just feels like home," Dean murmured against Castiel's neck, placing gentle kisses there while he scissored him open with his fingers. The sight of the pendant only increased Dean's possessiveness towards his mate, and he was getting impatient to finally be inside him again.

Castiel whimpered softly and bared his neck for the alpha. "Then get inside me. I want you."

Dean let out an animalistic growl and pulled his fingers out roughly. He leaned back, grabbing both Castiel's legs behind the knees and forced the angel to bend so that his knees were almost touching his shoulders, practically bending him in half. Castiel groaned slightly but his flexible body didn't protest much at the position. He grabbed himself behind the knees, holding his legs up and spread for Dean, and almost blushed when he noticed how completely exposed and vulnerable the position made him.

Dean had to squeeze the base of his cock not to come at the sight. The submissive angel was in an almost inhuman position, giving Dean a perfect view of his genitals and his ass. The gorgeous, white wings were spread out as much as they could in the cramped space, and Castiel whined impatiently when all Dean did was staring at him.

Dean snapped out of it and leaned forward, placing the angel's legs on top of his shoulders and lined himself up with the slick and prepared hole. They both let out a tiny noise when Dean's thick cockhead slipped in, and Dean leaned down over Castiel's body – still with the angel's legs over his shoulders, forcing him to bend obscenely much – and snapped his hips forward to bury himself deeper inside that tight, addicting heat.

"Ohhh," Castiel moaned and threw his head back as Dean slid into him, filling him up inch by inch. His inner muscles quickly adjusted to the familiar presence of the demon's member.

Dean kept his focus on his mate's face, taking in every change in his features as the angel was taking in the feeling of Dean inside him. Dean moved slow at first, gently thrusting his hips forwards and adjusting so that he hit Cas' sweet spots right on from the very start, drawing whimpers and shaky moans from his mate. He rolled his hips, snapping them forward in a sensual motion, and going balls deep into Castiel. He could feel his balls touch Cas' ass every time he bottomed out, and the further inside he got the more cramped and tight it became.

It was cold outside but the car was still warm, and their body heat and their heated activities kept it warm.

Castiel opened his eyes, staring up into Dean's green ones as they slowly made love, but as the minutes passed Dean increased the speed of his thrusts and after a while he was pounding into the angel under him, making Cas cry out in ecstasy. After a while Dean got a little tired of the fact that Cas' legs on his shoulders prevented him from properly leaning into his body, so he pulled away for a few seconds to move the angel's legs down before settling himself between Cas' legs again, pulled Cas' hips up a bit so he could slide into him again, and finally leaned his body over Cas' so that they were properly touching.

"Dean," Castiel moaned, whining in need when Dean's cock struck his cervix and prostate hard with every thrust. "You feel so good."

"Mmm, you too," Dean smirked lazily against the angel's neck. He could feel Cas' dick leaking against his lower stomach from where it was sandwiched between them, and Dean pushed his body down further into Cas' to make his dick get rubbed between them.

"Dean! Dean, I'm gonna—"

"Then come, Cas. Wanna feel you come apart under me, because of me," Dean growled against Castiel's neck with so much possessiveness that it sent thrills of pleasure up Castiel's spine.

Castiel came, crying out Dean's name, and jerked helplessly under the demon's body as he released himself between their bodies. Dean snarled, burying his hands in the angel's super soft wings and came deep inside his mate, marking him with his seed. Castiel let out a soft, satisfied moan when his insides were flooded with the demon's come, and reached up to caress Dean's softened wings while he waited for Dean to finish coming. The demon then collapsed on top of him, panting and sweating with exhaustion. Castiel hissed softly when Dean gently moved his hips forward, slowly and sensually thrusting into him even though Dean's cock was slowly softening.

"Dean," Castiel muttered in slight annoyance, cringing when Dean's come flowed out of him.

Dean just chuckled softly against his neck and stopped moving, still buried in him. "Mm, love you so much, Cas. Without you I'm not me."

Castiel smiled and moved his hand through the alpha's short hairs, wrapping his arms around Dean. "I love you too, Dean. You make me complete too."

Dean smiled against him before slowly untangling himself from Cas' hold and looked down at him. "This is getting very girly," he chuckled and finally pulled away and slipped out of Cas. He grabbed the towel he had put on the floor previously for this situation and cleaned off the come from his dick as well as from the car seat and from Cas' body.

Castiel rolled his eyes. "What is it with alphas and their fear of girly things? Adrian also avoids things that are too girly for him – he even doesn't hug his siblings that much anymore."

Dean laughed while he moved the towel over Castiel's abdomen, wiping off the angel's come which he had spilled on himself. "That's just how alphas work, just like you submissives don't always like the manly stuff. You don't appreciate pretty females, – not that I do anymore, just so you know – don't wanna hear dirty guy-jokes, and I've never even really heard you burp before."

The angel huffed and sat up. "You are disgusting," he muttered about Dean's last comment.

Dean just grinned and rubbed the towel over Castiel's back to get some of the oil off him which had leaked down his skin and onto the seat below. He was gentle and careful when he moved the towel over the swollen and sensitive oil glands while cleaning Cas up, and Castiel smiled at the tenderness.

Afterwards they got dressed again, having some trouble putting their clothes on in the confined space of the Impala but they helped each other out. Instead of going back to the front seat right away Dean pulled Castiel against him as they sat on the backseat and placed a soft kiss on top of the angel's head.

Castiel smiled and leaned into Dean's body, trying to get comfortable with his wings. "I had a nice time tonight, Dean. Thank you." He moved his hand up to touch the mating pendant around his neck absently while leaning into the alpha's warmth.

Dean smiled and ran his hand through Castiel's black, messy hair. "You're welcome. I had a nice time too. We should go out more often…"

"Mmhm," Castiel agreed, closing his eyes and purring as Dean continued moving his hand through his hair with affection.

They sat like that for a while, listening to the faint sounds of nature outside the car, and Castiel listened quietly to Dean's strong heartbeat when he rested his head on the demon's chest. He smiled and closed his eyes, dwelling in the sound of the heartbeat and in Dean's gentle touches.

"Let's go home?" Dean suggested after a few minutes and peered down at his mate.

Castiel agreed, and they moved back to the front seat again.

It was a good ending to their twentieth anniversary, and when they came home they made love one more time before going to sleep with their arms wrapped around each other.

Author's notes: I wanted to update earlier today but it seems that FFnet wasn't working properly. I hope it works now. Hope you enjoyed the chapter! :) Balthazar was hinted at again – with good reason! You'll see what happens soon. Sorry again for not updating as often anymore, but I'm trying my best. As the story slowly reaches its ends it's actually getting harder to come up with ideas so it slows me down a little. Plus I have my final thesis to write before graduating.

Thanks for reading, please leave some feedback :)
