The next morning Dean was putting up more of a fuss about going back to school than Sam was. He was dragging himself around the house all tired and pissed. He'd been rolling around in bed all night, silently cursing himself for being too forward and having no idea how to approach Cas the following day. Dean's ears swiveled in annoyance as he rolled over on his side and growled under his breath. He picked up his phone and started typing out a message for the hundredth time, only to delete it and drop the phone back into his nightstand. He continued tossing and turning all night, falling asleep 5 minutes shy of when his alarm went off. Resulting in a very tired and very grumpy Dean Winchester.

Bobby pretty much had to drag him kicking and screaming from the house and into the car, where Sam sat parasitically bouncing in his seat.

"So how was your date Dean?" He crowed, eyes practically sparkling.

Dean had been so out of it after returning home the previous night, that he'd just immediately went upstairs and locked himself in his room, without so much as sparing a glance to Bobby and his brother.

"Uh... It was fine man, we were invited to dinner tonight too... But I don't know if it's still gunna happen.."

Sam's smile fell and his tail, that'd been thumping loudly against the leather, stilled.

"Oh god Dean... Don't tell me you ogled her sister. Seriously Dean? On your first date?"

"One, it wasn't a date. Two, quit saying 'her' and 'she' it was a dude. A new friend I made. He gave me a tour around school and I thanked him with dinner, so he insisted on having us over."

Sam's eyes were large as bowls and after a few tense moments, he younger Winchester's ears twitched as he seemed to pick his jaw off the floor. "S-so... Why would he revoke the invitation then?" He challenged.

"Because he wasn't sure if his siblings would be busy." Dean quickly lied.

Sam nodded slowly and when Dean didn't give any indication that he was lying, the wolf settled in his seat as he watched the scenery roll by. Completely unawares to his brothers silent, internal panic as they drive down the road.

After dropping off his little brother at school, Dean spent a good 15 minutes loitering outside the prep school. He was about to consider just calling in sick and going home when familiar velvet wrapped vowels net his twitching ears.

"Hello Dean."

Dean turned slowly and found the kit a few scant inches away, "H-hey Cas..." When the kit made no move to back away he added "Cas... We've talked about this.. Personal space?"

Castiel's gaze remained even as he looked over Dean's face and stepped back a few paces.

"S-so what's up Cas?" Dean muttered.

"I could ask you the same thing." He mused, a small smile playing, on his lips. When Dean's gaze remained questioning Cas added "Charlie texted me saying that you were pacing in front of the doors and sent me to fetch you."

Dean silently cursed tinted window panes as he felt his cheeks burn under Castiel's sharp scrutiny. "Ah, yeah, okay. Shall we go in?"

Cas took a step forward, but not towards the door. Cas was right back in Dean's bubble, ears sharp and tail twitching as he examined the wolfs reddening face.

"Are you certain you are feeling well Dean? You'd seem quite heated. Do you have a fever?" He placed a cool hand on Dean's forehead, causing him to stifle a whimper as he broke out in goosebumps at the touch.

"It's nothin Cas. But... Are you.. Doin okay?"

"Yes Dean. I had a very pleasant time last night. But I fail to remember much after we left the Roadhouse. I hope I wasn't that bad if company."

He didn't remember the kiss, Dean wasn't sure if he was relieved or disappointed.

"Nah man, you were fine. So... Are Sam and I still comin over tonight? Or..."

"No please, I'd be delighted if you'd join us." Cas interrupted, ears twitching playfully as his tail swung back and forth.

Dean huffed in mild amusement and grinned back, "Sounds great.."

"Indeed." Cas smiled again and then walked to and opened the door. "Shall we."

Dean's tail swayed slightly in happiness as he quickly followed the kit indoors.

The rest of the day was a blur as Dean and Cas were attached by the hip. There were a few rough and awkward introductions as Cas was introduced to Dean's childhood friends. Poor guy didn't realize personal space applied to everyone, at least until Jo threatened to slug him. Resulting in the poor guy huddled half behind Dean's shoulder for the remainder of the lunch hour.

Suddenly it was the end of the day, and Dean was walking through the front door of the school with the dark coated kit.

"So...I'll see you at 8?" The wolf grunted softly.

"Yes Dean. I'll be expecting you." He smiled softly before adding "and your brother."

Dean laughed lightly "Yeah... We'll be there Cas."

The pair continued to smile and stare until Cas's vibrating phone caused him to tear his eyes away. With some terrible difficulty.

He glanced at the text message that was lighting up his screen, the groan that followed was immediate.

"What's up Cas?" Dean inquired. His ear twitching in interest to Castiel's lowered ones.

"Gabriel..." He hissed "He laughed without me. Insisting I get a ride home with my new" he blushed "boy toy..." He muttered, air quotes and all.

Dean felt the heat rise in her own cheeks but laughed it off regardless. "I can give you a ride if you need it Cas!" He said, slipping a loose arm around the kits shoulders as he lead the kit to his baby.

"That is much appreciated."

The two wandered over to the car and Dean opened the passenger door for him before getting in the drivers side himself.

The ride over was silent but not uncomfortable as the lair snuck timid glances at each other. There was no sound until they arrived at Castiel's house, where the kit uttered a small 'what are they doing?'

Dean followed his gaze and noticed the kits brothers, Michael and Lucifer, walking down the pathway to a parked ford. Dean stopped across the driveway and Castiel hopped out, tail frazzled in quiet surprise.

"Where are you going?"

"We've got a double date with another pair of twins." Lucifer purred, making rather lewd hand gestures.

"And we're going to court them and treat them respectfully." Michael interjected calmly with a glare to their brother.

"But... Did I not alert you all about having over the Winchester brothers?"

Michael and Lucifer leaned to opposites sides of Castiel as they both looked over his shoulder to spy the wolf in the car.

"Well when you came home you wouldn't shut up about your date. You wouldn't talk about anything else do we have you some painkillers and you to bed." Michael sighed.

"Well can't you cancel it?" Cas whined.

"No way!" Lucifer cried. "These are some smokin hot babes, and twins!"

"My apologies Castiel. We've premise these engagements a while back. We can't cancel them."

"But don't worry Cassie! You'll have Gabriel!"

The kit sighed and slumped his shoulders "That is what I'm afraid of.."

Lucifer gave him a slap on the shoulder as he passed, "I'm sure you'll figure something out. You always were the resourceful one."

Michael then passed with a small smile as he inclined his head "I leave the house to you.

Cas watched as the golden coated kits got into the Ford and honked once to alert Dean to move. Dean backed up slowly and watched as the Ford pulled out and drove down the street. He flinched when he found Castiel leaning down into the driver side window.

"Jesus… I'm gonna put a bell on you Cas."

The kit just tilted his head and looked quizzically at him, and when he made no response Dean rolled his eyes "So is dinner canceled?" He asked, ignoring the ache in his chest.

"I should hope not, but only if you are okay with just the company of myself and Gabriel."

"Yeah sure. But what about your sister?"

"Anna? Oh… She's not one for social calls. She may appear to greet you, but she'll most likely disappear not long after."

"Oh alright. Well that sounds dandy Cas, will be here at eight."

The kit relaxed and beamed, a look that made Dean's head swim. "I cannot wait."

"Me neither." Dean thought to himself.

"Okay.. Yeah. See you tonight Cas."

"Yes Dean."

The wolf waved goodbye and drive off. He didn't even look back in time I see a very panicked Castiel dash into the house to decide what to wear.

Dean and Sam arrived nearly 3 1/2 hours later, almost 20 minutes early. The two were sitting in their beloved and Impala and Sam glanced over at a nervous looking Dean. His brothers ears were swiveling in discomfort and he was staring straight ahead. Even his coat he spent so much time meticulously grooming was frazzled and sticking up like it was 100° in the car.

Sam however, was the exact opposite of the elder Winchester. His coat was a bit scruffy, but relaxed, he was honestly, really excited. He couldn't wait to see what kind of person could make his brother crush so hard. He wasn't even this lovestruck with Lisa, but she was still close second.

Sam flinched when he heard the familiar vibration of the phone. But then laughed as he saw his brother wince after he full on jumped and slammed his head into the roof. Dean shot his brother a glare that only made him laugh harder, as the blonde dipped his hand in his pocket and dug out his phone.

He remained silent as he read the text message and gave Sam a look before he exited the car, Sam quickly following suit.

"Dean?" He called as his bother started up the driveway "hey wait!"

Sam ran to his side and Fell into step with him, and took in the actual size of the house. More like mansion, Same thought, the place was freaking huge. He would've continued admiring the house but a light from the front door distracted him.

A kit with a black coat that looked almost navy blue in the light, stood in the door frame. His loose blue tie, crisp white shirt and black slacks made Sam feel underdressed and his favorite flannel and faded jeans. He glanced at his brother and gaped at the warm smile and soft eyes that were relaxing his brothers features. He was, almost, even more surprised at the fact that his brothers image was mirrored back to him from the kit.

"How long of you known?"

"Hello Dean, about five minutes, I could see you from the window."

They stared at each other so openly Sam had to nudge Dean in the shoulder to regain his attention. His brother flushed a little as he returned his gaze to the younger wolf "Cas this is my younger brother. Sam this is Castiel."

Cas turned to him and seem to notice him for the first time, which was quite a feat considering he was 6.4.

"Hey, I'm Sam." He grinned, arm outstretched in a proffered handshake. His ears were floppy and relaxed in a friendly gesture. He tried to show his friendliness in the most obvious way, he was a gentle giant, but still no less intimidating.

That's why he was surprised when the kit took his hand and smiled openly at him. "It's a pleasure Sam. I've heard a lot about you."

Same smiled a little awkwardly as he tried to figure out a response, he eventually settled on;

"Likewise."

He smiled softly when he caught Castiel's blush as he Saufley smiled in Dean's direction.

God he was almost as bad as Dean.

But he quickly regained his composure and stepped back firm the door with a large sweeping motion. "Please come in."

Seemed up the little in the doorway and entered, followed by his brother, who's ears were flattened, and tail curled ever so slightly. But he perked up noticeably as the smell of pie wafted through the air.

"Is that..?"

"Cherry pie Dean-o! Your favorite."

A fourth voice join the trio and Sam spun around, and was met with the hazel eyed, golden haired kit gnawing on a candy bar. Or he was met with the blondes years in the top of his head, the man was quite small.

"Gabriel you'll spoil your dinner." Cas chastised from behind him.

The kit, Gabriel, didn't even spare his brother a glance as he said, "Yeah whatever mom. I'm going to finish this, and maybe wash it down with this tall drink of water here." The last part was muttered in a low sultry tone that was dipped in the chocolate he was eating.

Sam wasn't sure if he flushed in embarrassment or anger. Who the hell was this guy? So forward and seductive and sexy in an infuriating way. He flushed even more when Gabriel wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and obviously raked his eyes over his body. Tail curling in and out in want and pleasure.

But Castiel was angry enough for the both of them "Gabriel!" He seethed "Please refrain from being so vulgar!"

"I'll stop being vulgar when this one stops being so damn fine."

"Gabriel!"

"Alright fine. Dinner will be ready in about 15 minutes. Why don't you and your sexy boy toy there go set the table.

Cas gave his brother a hard glare but said nothing as he grabbed Dean's are in a possessive gesture and pulled him into the dining space.

Gabriel laughed openly and moved back into the kitchen while Sam remained standing in the doorway. After a few more awkward moments Gabriel's head popped out of the kitchen "You c'mon moose?"

Sam glared at him but begrudgingly moved into the kitchen, rather than deal with the more than likely palpable tension in the dining area.

Once in the kitchen Gabriel turned to look at Sam, serious for the first time that night.

"Sam right?"

He nodded

"I need to uh... Apologize."

"...why?"

"Well, I might've stuck you as a little rude… And I'm sorry… But, I've never seen Cassie so head over heels for someone… I want him to be happy. But the poor saps as dense as a rock, and he won't pursue his own happiness without a little shove. I just want to see my little bro happy.… And I think Dean could make him happy."

Same blushed is Gabriel spoke, it really warmed his heart to hear how genuine the kit was being. His blonde ears were flattened and tail curled and modesty. This guy may be a little rough around the edges but sam no
longer thought of him as a bad person. He was actually rather sweet, cute. Hiss tail wagged involuntarily as he grinned "Well, I'll help."

The kits hazel eyes snapped up to meet his own. "Really?"

"Yeah. Why not? Cas is having the same affect on Dean, but my brothers just as emotionally stunted. I think it'd be better if we worked together."

The kids eyes danced with mirth as he grinned "Yeah, yeah alright!" He laughed and added "Besides, the closer I get to work with you, the better." He purred, throwing in a wink luck.

Same blushed but laughed nonetheless, he could get to like this Gabriel character.

The rest of the night proceeded with the two tag teaming on and off as they teased Cas and Dean, making as many embarrassing comments and innuendos as possible. Although the pair did make a few decent come backs to that fact that Gabriel and Sam disappeared together every little while, even though they were trying to leave their brothers alone together. And Dean still hasn't shut up about how was Sam slipped up earlier and Gabriel suddenly became Gabe.

But at the end of the night everyone is warm, bubbly and slightly buzzed. But Dean and Cass had escalated a bit from just staring to feather light touches and warm smiles, so Sam and Gabe saw that as a victory.

The four stumbled out of the house as the kits intended to walk the wolves to the impala. Dean gave Cas an awkward hug and sly grin in the form of a timid goodbye. While Sam saw that as progress Gabriel was clearly unconvinced.

"You call that a goodbye?" He whined.

Before anyone could say anything, Gabriel fisted at the front of Sam's flannel and pulled the wolfs lips down to his own.

Sam uttered a startled 'mmf!' but eventually relaxed and closed his eyes. The kiss was over too soon and Sam had to stifle of whine when the kit pulled away. "I'll see you soon moose…" He winked.

Sam blushed and a birded his eyes for a moment "yeah…" He suddenly turned back and grinned "Maybe sooner than you think."

Gabriel laughed "Amen to that!"

Sam straightened and turned, suddenly remembering their audience.

Dean and Cas were blushing like virgins and looking anywhere but each other.

"Goodbye Dean..."

"Yeah, see you Cas.."

The kit blushed and hurried back into the house, dragging his brother along with him.

Dean and Sam got into the impala and pulled out, driving back to Bobby's.

The ride back was silent and terribly awkward, but neither Sam nor Dean could hide the dopey smiles on their faces if they tried.
