"Is he still asleep?" Benny asked biting his lower lip as Castiel walked towards him. The poor kid had passed out on the way to the house and wouldn't budge awake when he tried to get him out of the care. Benny had no qualms in carrying him but it worried him. Cas reassured him that he was fine, helping him get comfortable on Benny's bed. That had been almost over an hour ago...and not that Benny was selfish but he was hoping he'd be awake for their...date. God, he didn't even ask the guy officially...maybe it wasn't even considered as one?
"Yeah...I think the only time he really does get any sleep is here," Cas sighed, moving to sit next to him on the couch. Benny nodded, staying quiet. It definitely seemed that way...the second they would lay down Samandriel would just melt, going into a deep sleep rather quickly. At first he had thought it was adorable but then of course, worried. More than anything he just wanted to keep him there, at the house where he could look after him. But it wasn't his place...
"Benny...maybe you should go wake him up? He was really looking forward to that date with you," Cas said. Benny jerked his head toward him, a playful smile gracing Castiel's lips.
"Is...is that what..."
"Oh my god you two are worse then me and Dean. It's so clearly a date and neither of you are calling it that. Just, go wake him up and take him out...sheesh," Castiel said rolling his eyes and leaving the room with a laugh. Benny rubbed at his face, his ass not moving from the couch for a few minutes. Finally, he got up and slowly made his way towards his room. It was quiet as he pushed open the door, taking a look around. Samandriel wasn't sleeping but leaning up against the window. Benny bit his lip when he realized one of his flannels was draped around Samandriel's thin shoulders.
As quietly as Benny could he closed the door behind him and moved closer, not wanting to scare him. He made it halfway before Samandriel turned to look at him, the soft smile making Benny's heart quicken.
"How you doin?" Benny asked sitting down on the bed. Samandriel shrugged, turning to face him but kept leaning against the window.
"I'm ok...I hope you don't mind...I got cold," he answered almost sheepishly, gesturing to the flannel. It was huge on him, the sleeves had engulfed his hands but Samandriel didn't seem to care. Benny smiled up at him with a shake of his head.
"Of course not...do you still..feel up to going tonight?" Benny asked not able to still call this a date. He didn't want to pressure Samandriel, especially now after what had happened. Samandriel bit his lip and nodded, trying to surprise the huge smile from growing anymore. Benny laughed softly raising up from the bed.
"You can go ahead and shower if you need too, my bathroom ain't nothin special," Benny said pointing to the closed door. Samandriel nodded reaching down for his backpack. Benny watched him disappear into the bathroom and sighed, the tension in his shoulders finally melting away. The second the shower turned on Benny bolted from the room, not wanting to think of Samandriel under that water...naked.
Samandriel stayed under the water for a little longer than he should, his finger tips becoming prunish. But it felt good...he didn't have to worry about someone suddenly barging in. That happened more than he wanted to admit and mostly by Malachi. The first time he had thought it was an accident but the more it kept happening he realized it was on purpose. It left him uncomfortable and completely self conscious.
The same could easily happen here...but some how he knew it wouldn't, especially when he heard the door of Benny's room open and close. He had snuck a peak and sure enough, Benny wasn't there. It had calmed him greatly, though...he couldn't help the very quick thought of Benny joining him. Those big bear hands gently rubbing into his skin. He shivered and buried it down fast, he didn't want to get worked up...and dint' want to have any kind of hope if Benny wasn't interested. Benny cared for him, he knew that but how did deep did it go?
Samandriel shook his head and finished up, smiling at the Irish Spring body wash. He loved the way Benny smelled when his arms went around him tightly. He was tempted to use it but stuck with the one he brought over for himself. It was another 5 minutes before he was out and drying off. He stopped to glance at reflection, a barely there smile. He didn't look like the timid kid anymore...even the dark circles under his eyes were starting to fade. Granted, the only time he was able to sleep was here...but maybe that would change. He didn't think he'd even be able to go back...Samandriel shook his head to get rid of those thoughts. He was here now...and he would focus on that and by god he was going to have fun.
Maybe even figure out what was really going on between them.
He was rummaging through his bag when there was a soft knock on the door. His body froze, almost forgetting that Malachi wasn't there for a second.
"Samandriel? It's Castiel...can I come in?" Cas called out. Samandriel swallowed hard and pulled open the door, his other gripping at the towel wrapped around his waist.
"Hey...I didn't know if you brought any clothes with you...so I brought you something. We're nearly the same size," Cas said with a smile. Samandriel gave him a look and then at the mirror laughing. Castiel wasn't skinny but he was thin with slight sinewy muscles under his skin. On one of the warmer nights he had spent over, he and Castiel had daringly stripped down to their boxers and jumped into the pool. Instantly regretting it when they got out.
Samandriel was just skinny, almost lanky. Castiel laughed and rolled his eyes, reaching out to poke him in the ribs. "Well, the more you spend here the more meat will get on your bones. Dean and Benny cook like mad men. I used to be thinner than you," Castiel said with a smile. Samandriel nodded, taking the offered clothes.
"Thank you...for everything," Samandriel said biting his lip. Castiel nodded, pulling him into a hug before quickly disappearing through the door. Samandriel sighed, letting his body relax further. He was so grateful to have met these wonderful, caring people. They actually cared and wanted him around.
He rifled through the pile of clothes and couldn't help smiling with a little blush warming his cheeks as he pulled them on. The pants were skinny jeans, tight and snug enough to show case his ass. Besides his eyes, it might as well be his second best feature. One of the shirts in the pile was a dark blue button up the front dress shirt that hugged around him. These must have been the clothes Cas wore when he first moved in with Dean. His hair settled down on his head in a flop and he frowned, running his fingers through it trying to give it some life. Sighing with defeat he left the bathroom, dumping his pile of dirty laundry on the floor by his backpack. He'd ask Benny later what to do with them.
He yanked on his shoes and grabbed up his wallet and phone before leaving the bedroom, smiling almost shyly at Cas who was waiting for him in the hall.
"They fit you great..."
"They're a little tight," Samandriel laughed running is hands down the sides of the pants. Castiel shrugged.
"Told you I was skinnier than you...come on," Castiel took his hand and lead him out to the living room. Everyone was over being their usual loud selves. Dean and Sam were fighting over who was next to play guitar in the game. Charlie and Dory sat huddled together on the couch laughing at them. The only ones he didn't see were Garth, Sam and Sarah. There was someone in the kitchen and just by the slight movements, he could tell it was Benny.
"Cas! Tell Sam I'm clearly the better guitar player!" Dean called out with exasperation, punching his younger brother in the arm. Cas rolled his eyes and hurried over, leaving Samandriel standing there laughing. He shook his head, biting his lip as he made his way into the kitchen. Benny was humming softly to the radio that was playing next to the stove. Whatever he was cooking smelled amazing, his stomach growling in appreciation. Benny looked over at him grinning, his eyes taking him in. Samandriel blushed a little, crossing is arms over his stomach.
"Looks good an ya," Benny said motioning for him to come closer. Samandriel moved around to lean against the counter, taking a quick look into the pot.
"It ain't nothin...just some simple stew...but it feeds a lot of people at once," he chuckled. Samandriel nodded, licking his dry lips. "Open up cher," Benny said offering him a taste. Samandriel was expecting something from a can but he should have known better. The fresh broth and crunch of vegetables made him moan.
"It's good...are...are we going to eat here first?" Samandriel asked, greedily accepting another spoonful. He never had homemade stew before...it wasn't mushy or leave a weird taste in his mouth. He moaned again and he could hear the click of Benny swallowing.
"If you want too...I had something else in mind if you don't mind waiting a bit?" Benny asked biting his lip. Samandriel wanted nothing more than to sit and eat with Benny...but he reigned it in, the need to see what Benny's surprise was over riding the want.
"I don't mind but...can I have another one?" Samandriel asked with a hopeful smile. Benny barked out a laugh, scooping some more up and feeding it to him. Samandriel hummed his thanks.
"Thank you...when are we leaving?" he asked watching Benny cover the pot before setting some bowls next to it.
"In a few...the sun should be down soon," Benny answered. Samandriel nodded moving around Benny to go back into the living room. A strong hand clamped over his wrist, gently pulling him back. Samandriel's breath caught when the other hand touched his face. Benny gritted his teeth but forced out a smile as his thumb traced the barely there bruise on his cheek.
"Sorry..." Benny said becoming a little flustered with himself. He let go of his arm and Samandriel only smiled, moving a bit closer to hug the giant of a man. His body was so warm and he felt incredibly small as he was engulfed in those arms. But he felt safe and couldn't help nuzzling his face into his shirt, sighing softly when he could smell the body wash underneath. He felt Benny's face press into his hair and he melted even further, not wanting to move away for anything.
"So...is dinner done or...?"
Samandriel groaned and pulled away enough to find Dean smirking at them, arms crossed over his chest. Benny laughed softly, gently moving them out of the way for the others to start grabbing food. Samandriel bit his lip when the older man took his hand, leading him out towards the garage. He barely got a chance to look over his shoulder to see Castiel beam at him.
Benny opened the passenger side of the truck and as he crawled in he saw several things in the back that made him bit his lip anxiously. He still had no clue where they were going, but he was even more excited now.
Benny couldn't help chewing on the inside of his lip or constantly glancing over at Samandriel sitting comfortably in his truck. That tight nervous pinch in his eyes had gone and he was freely smiling, joking around with him as they drove. It was beautiful and if he wasn't careful, was either gonna crash the truck or be completely heart broken when Samandriel didn't feel anything more for him.
The further they drove, the closer Samandriel scooted towards him on the bench. They were five minutes out from the spot when Samandriel snuggled up to his side, putting his head on his shoulder. Benny swallowed hard and wrapped his arm around him, pulling him in even closer. He had to fight the urge to bury his face in his hair again, like he had at the house. He couldn't help it though, Samandriel smelled amazing.
"Where are we?" Samandriel asked almost sleepily. Benny smiled, rubbing his arm with his fingers.
"You'll see," he answered, turning down a dirt road. Samandriel raised questioning eyes at him but he only smiled, keeping the surprise quiet. The road led up to a hill completely clear of any trees. He maneuvered the truck into the right position and braked. Samandriel still looked confused until he turned to look out the back window.
"Oh...this is so awesome!" Samandriel laughed scrambling to get out. Benny laughed, turning on the radio to the correct one before opening the back window. They barely made it in time. The previews for the movie just starting. The hill overlooked their local drive in, giving them some privacy from others. It wasn't that he didn't want to pay...but he liked the solitude...and not constantly being interrupted from people being stupid and drunk.
"Surprise?" Benny laughed walking up behind him. Samandriel turned with a huge smile, his crystal blue eyes sparkling in the moonlight. His breath caught and he had suppress the urge to kiss him.
"Thank you...this...this is awesome," he laughed. Benny nodded and turned to pull the door down so they could crawl into the bed. Dean had helped him get the futon mattress into the back, along with several blankets and a container of food. Benny sat with his back pressed against the cool metal, smiling when Samandriel chose to sit close to him, their arms and legs pressed together.
"So...I'm hoping you brought food?" Samandriel asked with a grin, laughing when Benny poked him in the side.
"Of course, like I was gonna let you starve Angel," Benny laughed opening the container. Samandriel hummed softly and eagerly reached out for the bowl that he put some of the stew into. There was fresh bread and a jug of warm cider. Benny blushed a bit, it was really simple but he was relieved at how Samandriel seemed to like it all. He was beginning to realize that simple maybe better...and that made him happy. He always envied how easy Dean and Castiel's relationship was. It was something he always wanted for himself. He had dated some guys that were just way too much, needing to be shown that he liked them by dipping into his bank account. He always ended it rather quick as soon as that happened. But Samandriel was different...even balking at the idea of any of them helping him out money wise.
"Thank you so much," Samandriel said softly once he was finished. Benny smiled, quickly finishing his as well. Before he could mutter a word, Samandriel was moving their dishes out of the way and cuddling up to him, his head resting against his chest. Benny kept his breathing calm while his heart stammered in his chest.
"You're welcome cher," he said softly as his fingers combed through his hair. Samandriel clung to him a bit tighter and Benny grabbed for one of the blankets, throwing it over them and got comfortable.
Samandriel was so relaxed and peaceful, he nearly fell asleep. Benny never once stopped petting his hair, his hand only moving down to rub at his neck and shoulders. It felt amazing and if he could purr, he would be doing so loudly. He had no clue what the movie was even about or what the name was, he was more focused on snuggling into Benny's warmth.
It wasn't until the credits began to roll for the first movie that he looked up into Benny's face, smiling at how sleepy he looked as well. Benny smiled down at him, his other hand moving to cup the side of his face. Samandriel steeled his nerves and sat up slowly, keeping his eyes locked on Benny's as he moved in closer. Benny's tongue darted out, quickly wetting his lips and Samandriel dove in, finally pressing their lips together. He had never kissed anyone, let alone an older man. A shudder raced through him when Benny groaned, his hands pulling him until they were pressed tightly together, not even a breath of space between them.
Samandriel clutched onto his shoulders, a slight moan leaving his mouth when Benny nibbled on his bottom lip, soothing it over with a light flick of his tongue. He gasped, his mouth parting for just a second and Benny dipped his tongue in, tentatively licking at the roof of his mouth. Samandriel mewled, practically crawling into Benny's lap.
"Wait...wait..." Benny gasped pulling away, their foreheads pressed together. Samandriel fought to catch his breath, not daring to move away anymore than he had too.
"What's wrong? Do you..." Samandriel couldn't finish his sentence, his throat locking up on him as the backs of his eye lids burned. Did he make a mistake? Was Benny only kissing him because he pitied him? He went to move away when Benny tightened his hold around him.
"Nothing is wrong cher...I just...want to make sure this is something you want..." he finally answered, his voice rough and very slightly shook.
"Yes..." he whispered, fingers digging into the man's shirt. Benny smiled brightly at him, kissing his lips briefly.
"Thank God..." he laughed softly. Samandriel bit his lip, the blush burning his cheeks.
"I'd really like it if you were mine Angel," Benny whispered, his lips brushing along Samandriel's.
"You do?" Samandriel couldn't help asking, a little whine edging his words. Benny kissed him slowly, parting his lips easily with the tip of his tongue. Samandriel melted against him, opening his mouth for Benny to explore. He nervously touched Benny's tongue with his own, moaning as they rolled together. Benny wrapped his arms around him tightly, moving them until they laying down on the mattress.
"I really do Angel...but only if you want me back," Benny said looking into his eyes. Samandriel bit his kiss swollen lip and nodded eagerly, digging his fingers into Benny's arms.
"I do...does that mean...you're my boyfriend now?" Samandriel asked with a little laugh. Benny grinned wide kissing at his lips, cheeks and forehead.
"Yes...and you're mine," Benny said tracing his finger over the side of his face, "Do you wanna keep watching the movie?" he asked. Samandriel shook his head, blushing a little as he pulled Benny back down. The older man moaned deep in his throat as his arms wrapped around him in a tight hug, the kiss slowly growing deeper.
Samandriel had no idea how long they kissed but the moment he pulled back to catch his breath he realized that he was aroused...and by the feel of it Benny was as well. He swallowed hard and shrank back a little.
"Hey...shhhh...we're not doing anything you ain't ready for ok? If anything becomes too much, you tell me and we'll stop," Benny reassured him, giving him a chaste kiss. Samandriel took in a deep breath and nodded, smiling as Benny rolled over onto his side. He scooted close and snuggled into him as the blanket was pulled back up to their chins.
"I'm gonna take care of you cher...I promise," Benny whispered just as his eyes began to droop, a little tear rolling down his cheek. He kissed Benny's chest and closed his eyes.
