Benny chewed on his lip, his leg bouncing up and down as he waited for the boys to get home from school. The music playing in the garage as Dean worked on the Impala was almost too loud, making his head buzz. He snatched up his ice tea as he moved to go out back. He took in a deep breath and couldn't help smiling. It had taken a week but the back yard was finally cleaned up, including the pool. He'd been putting it off for so long and then just started using the excuse that he was busy to even really come back here.
The far right corner of the yard had been sectioned off for Castiel and Samandriel specifically, the ground dark with the tilling the boys had done this past weekend. Benny hoped that as soon as it started to get warmer, they'd begin to plant, knowing already which flowers Castiel would choose. Benny shook his head with a smile, his anxiousness already melting away at the visions of what the yard would turn into.
Maybe he and Samandriel could even get a dog. Man, he missed having a dog so badly. His last one had gotten sick and never felt ready enough to adopt another. Sighing he put his glass on the table before collapsing into the porch swing. It was breezy just enough to lull him into complete relaxation, his body melting into the cushions. He was so close to falling asleep he didn't even hear the back door slide open.
The swing moved a little and there was a weight settling on top of him. He cracked an eye open and grinned as blue ones smiled up at him. Samandriel crawled closer, pressing their lips together in a mere press before the younger boy was tucking his head under Benny's chin.
"Missed you," Benny whispered wrapping his arms around his boyfriend, holding him close as they continued to gently sway in the swing. Samandriel nodded burrowing himself further against him.
They must have fallen asleep because he didn't remember it getting dark or Garth hovering over them with a huge smile. Benny groaned and tried to move but Samandriel refused to wake up. Just kept making these adorable huffing noises and hiding his face. Benny chuckled and managed to somehow lift Samandriel in his arms. His bedroom was the closest to the back door, being one of the furthest away in the whole house. He liked it that way, even more so now that he and Samandriel were...more physical in their relationship. The kid was loud.
Benny gently tucked Samandriel in and went to move away when his hand was yanked back. He turned to see Samandriel blinking up at him. He let himself be pulled onto the bed, his body curling tightly around Samandriel's under the blankets.
"I need to make dinner sweetheart," Benny chuckled when greedy hands pulled on his arms to keep him close.
"Let Dean cook for once, I want you here Bear," Samandriel pouted. Benny felt himself blush a little but grinned moving closer and tangling their legs together. He didn't know if he could ever admit to really liking the new nickname Samandriel had graced him with...it was loads better than Castiel calling Dean "bug".
"You're too tempting," Benny sighed, lips brushing against the back of Samandriel's neck. He didn't get an answer, just a soft puff of air. Benny waited to be sure that he was officially asleep before slipping out of the bedroom. Castiel and Dean were in the kitchen, feeding each other pieces of fruit as Dean readied some meat for grilling. Benny's stomach growled loudly and both his friends jumped a little before laughing.
"You need help at all Dean-o?" Benny asked ruffling Castiel's hair as he walked past. Dean tossed him a can of beans and Benny scoffed.
"Really? This? Nah, if I'm helpin you cook, we're havin chili," Benny laughed dropping the can on the counter like it offended him. Castiel made a happy noise, instantly diving into the fridge to snatch up the fresh vegetables that he would need. He couldn't help chuckling at the betrayed look on Dean's face.
"Seriously? You're supposed to be helping me!" Dean protested with a pout. Castiel hurried over and kissed his cheek.
"You love Benny's chili...I need to learn how to make it," Castiel said biting his bottom lip. Dean stared at him for a moment before nodding, pecking his boyfriend on the lips. Benny smiled warmly, before he'd always turn away blushing like mad at their little displays...but now he thought it was damn adorable.
"Alright, I need nutmeg," Benny said pulling out the cutting board. Castiel made a face but got it for him anyway.
"Nutmeg?" he asked taking the knife Benny handed to him.
"Mmhmm...secret part of my chili," he winked at Castiel and proceeded to explain how to cut the onions. Once they had pretty much everything prepared he moved to stand next to Dean, pouring the tender hamburger meat and peppers into the pan. Soon the room was filled with not only the spices for his chili but the grilled meat from outside. He stirred a few times before grabbing up a beer, taking it outside for Dean. Castiel was in the swing, sipping at his tea as he listened to Dean talk about this and that. Mostly about all the things he worked on for the Impala. Benny grinned and leaned up against the house.
"So uh...I kinda need some advice on something," Benny asked once there was a lull in the conversation.
"Sure...what's up?" Dean asked closing the lid to the grill. Benny took in a deep breath, fighting against the sudden embarrassment.
"I wanna take Alfie on a date...It dawned on me the other day the only one we've been on was when I took him to the drive in," Benny said softly. Castiel beamed at him, quickly scrambling off the swing to move closer.
"What did you have in mind?" he asked. Benny stared at him and laughed, shrugging his shoulders.
"Kinda why I needed advice kiddo," Benny grinned. Castiel rolled his eyes at the nickname and flicked Benny on the shoulder.
"Well you can always just take him out to dinner or something..." Dean said. Benny opened his mouth to speak but Castiel scoffed.
"Dean...that's so unromantic! Do you remember our first real official date?" Castiel asked quirking up a brow. Benny bellowed out a laugh when his best friend's face turned a dark shade of red. Oh how Benny remembered that so fondly. Dean had cleared out the entire house but begged Benny to cook them dinner. He did of course, even so far as baking up a pie for the couple. What he didn't know until later is how Dean filled the house with candles and rose petals. Benny was still finding the damn things even now. He had teased Dean mercifully but at that time, the little hole in his chest had ripped open at the fact he had no one to shower that much affection too.
But now he did.
"What can I do then? Sorry brother but I am not copying you...you almost burned the damn house down," Benny grinned. Castiel covered his mouth to keep from laughing before he was practically jumping on his toes.
"I have an idea..."
Samandriel knew something was up but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Benny seemed nervous about something and though he found it adorable, he didn't really understand why he had any reason to be. It wasn't until he was getting out of the shower Saturday afternoon that he got some kind of clue. He was drying his hair when he realized that the clothes he had brought in were gone...and in it's place something he didn't recognize. They looked like something from Castiel's closet. Before he could reach out to open the door handle a piece of paper fluttered to the ground with the words, Put these on!
"Oookay," Samandriel chuckled, pulling on the clothes that fit nice and snug along his body. He had finally started gaining some weight recently so he was glad that he and Cas could actually share clothes. The top was an extremely soft v neck sweater that looked black but the closer he looked, was actually blue. He bit his lip and quickly slipped it on, smiling at how it made his eyes seem to pop. Somehow he managed to get his hair to actually do something other than flop around and he was actually pretty happy with the way he looked.
After snatching up his stuff, he made his way into the bedroom not surprised at Benny's absence but he did catch the subtle scent of Benny's cologne. It had a bit woodsier smell then his normal one but Samandriel loved it all the same. Reminded him too much of the Irish Spring soap his boyfriend always used. He pulled on his shoes and made sure to grab his phone before making his way out of the room and into the family room. He heard a low whistle and smiled, turning towards the kitchen to face Benny who had a wolfish grin on his face.
"You look gorgeous," Benny whispered, pulling Samandriel in close to crash their lips together. Samandriel moaned softly, trailing his hands up Benny's chest to wrap around his neck. Absolutely loving the press of Benny's body against his own.
"I have a surprise for you," Benny said after pulling away. Samandriel grinned, taking a step back to take in his boyfriend. He had never seen Benny wear anything other than his ripped up jeans and a flannel shirt but he always thought Benny looked amazing. But now...the dark blue jeans hugged around Benny's thick thighs and supple ass, the gray dress shirt tight around his chest and shoulders that was so soft to the touch. There was a black vest that hadn't been buttoned up yet and the best thing ever was the old time fisherman's hat sitting on top of Benny's head. Samandriel bit his lip and gestured for Benny to spin which he did with a huge smile, shaking his ass as he turned.
"So...not that I mind dressing up or complaining that you look...amazing...why are we?" Samandriel asked. Benny opened his mouth to speak but quickly shut it, shaking his head minutely.
"It's a surprise Angel...you ready?" he asked instead. Samandriel gave him a playful glare before nodded slowly, giggling when he was dragged towards the garage. He made a confused noise as Benny headed for the Impala.
"We're taking Dean's car?" he asked with a cynical laugh. Benny just grinned, opening the door for him. Samandriel hesitated a moment, knowing perfectly well at how crazy Dean was with his car. At Benny's gentle prodding, he finally crawled in, feeling a bit uncomfortable being in the Impala without Dean.
"Don't worry okay? Dean knows we're borrowing her, I would even dare to take her if he didn't say it was alright," Benny chuckled. Samandriel swallowed around his nerves and nodded, allowing for his body to relax just a smidge.
Benny swallowed hard as they walked up to probably the most, pretentious restaurant he had ever seen. He was a small town, diner type of guy and this was so out of his league. He had no idea why Castiel would even choose something like this...but from the soft smile on Samandriel's lips...maybe it wasn't such a horrible idea? Especially since the movie before had been horrible to say in the least.
Castiel had been convinced that seeing a somewhat scary movie would be a great way to bring them "closer". What neither of them had prepared for was how scared Samandriel would actually get. Benny caught on right away at the opening credits. Just at the ominous music playing, Samandriel drew up his legs and hugged them hiding his face behind his knees. Benny had cursed under his breath and raised the arm rest to pull Samandriel into his lap. They were in one of the back aisles so any neighboring couples didn't have to deal with their little display of affection. At one point he had asked Samandriel several times if he just wanted to leave. He kept repeating that he was fine but when he nearly fell out of Benny's lap at one of the jump scares, Benny called it quits. There was still about 40 minutes until their reservation so he spent it driving around, Samandriel clutched to his side calming down.
Benny cleared his throat and opened the door for his boyfriend, his free hand at the small of his back. They were greeted rather quickly but Benny couldn't help gritting his teeth when they were both sized up with a mocking smile.
The host moves easily around the other tables as they were led towards the back where they could look out huge windows and see the little waterfall. Samandriel smiled big and eagerly grabbed up the menu. Benny tried to keep his nerves in check and was finally starting to calm when he saw the names of the dishes...he didn't understand any of them. There were no pictures or descriptions of the food either. It was all in Italian or French...whatever it was he couldn't read it! He must have started to panic because Samandriel reached over to clutch at his wrist.
"You okay?" he asked quietly. Benny tried to force a smile but ended up shaking his head a bit.
"I um...I don't..." he sighed gesturing to the menu. Samandriel laughed softly and nodded, scrunching up his face a bit.
"I can't either...but it's pretty here. Do...do you still wanna try it? Maybe our waiter can help?" he said with a hopeful smile. Benny couldn't say no to that face, especially after that horrible movie. He took in a deep breath and tried to quell his own nerves and embarrassment to stick this part out. Their waiter did help and Benny was even more relieved to realize the guy wasn't going to treat them badly. He explained all the dishes and even picked out the ones he thought were better. Just his patience alone was going to get the guy a huge tip...until he fucking winked at Samandriel.
And it didn't end with that either...he kept returning to make sure they were okay and would give Samandriel a flirty smile, his fingers reaching out to brush his boyfriend's shoulder. Samandriel seemed oblivious but the third time he did it, Benny couldn't help barking at the guy to leave...that they were just fine.
"Benny...he's just being friendly," Samandriel whispered with a fond smile. Benny bristled, rubbing a hand down his face.
"Cher...he's been flirting with you this whole time..." he said quietly.
"Even if he was...it doesn't really matter does it? I'm here with you and I'll be leaving with you," he laughed. Benny frowned at him before laughing himself, shaking his head.
"Alright alright," he said as the food was brought to their table. Much to his chagrin, the food was ridiculous in size as it was in price. He stared at it, poking it with his fork as Samandriel snickered behind his hand over his mouth..
"Well...um..."
"Next time we'll just stick with diners...they know how to feed my bear properly," Samandriel quipped with a wink. Benny felt his entire face turn red and tried to not stab at his food too hard. He could feel his boyfriend staring at him but he didn't want to look up. It didn't take much prodding before he was meeting amused blue eyes and a warm smile. He just hoped the next part of their date was better than this.
He was going to kill Castiel. Roast and flay him...how he thought a stupid carriage ride in the middle of fall was a good idea...was beyond him. Samandriel was so cold his teeth were chattering even with Benny's arm around him and a wool blanket over their legs.
"Benny, it's fine...I promise," Samandriel said softly snuggling further against his chest. At least that part was good, he got to hold his angel close and watch the scenery float past. He was slowly getting over the disappointment settling in his chest when suddenly there was a loud snap and they tilting, nearly falling out of the carriage completely.
"What the hell man!" Benny barked as the driver scrambled to his feet, first checking to make sure the horse was okay. Once he was satisfied he hurried back to help them climb out of the cab. Benny wanted to be furious with the guy but the wheel on the carriage had cracked.
"I'm so sorry...this doesn't usually happen!" the driver claimed fishing out his phone. Benny could see the panic in the man's eyes and sighed heavily, making sure to wrap Samandriel good and tight with the blanket, he helped the man remove the wheel just as one of his coworkers showed up with another one. The driver offered to continue but Samandriel piped in saying he just wanted to go back to the car. Benny frowned, climbing back into the cab next to him. Samandriel didn't seem upset or angry but he did look a bit tired which sent Benny's guilt sky high.
Samandriel could feel the waves of regret wafter over him from his boyfriend. He wanted nothing more than to soothe him but they were still in the back of the cab and he really didn't want a stranger overhearing them. Though there were some parts of the date he could have lived without, the movie for instance, but the other parts weren't that bad. He knew though, without a shadow of a doubt that this was not Benny's idea. They may have not known each other long but Samandriel knew Benny would have never chosen that resteraunt...or even this carriage ride.
He did have an idea behind it and he'd definetly be talking to them when he got home. But first, he had a pouting bear to take care of. He chewed on his lip until they finally made it back to the parking lot, carefully crawling out the second the carriage stopped. Benny was quiet as he paid and even quieter on the walk towards the car, not even once trying to take Samandriel's hand.
"Okay...stop," Samandriel sighed reaching out to grab Benny's wrist. The pinched worried look Benny had on his face made his chest squeeze but he could fix this. He was good at that...fixing things and making people happy. He wrapped his arms around Benny's stomach and settled his head on his chest, sighing as he was hugged tightly.
"I"m so sorry cher..." Benny grumbled out.
"For what? Taking me out on a date?" Samandriel quipped with a huge smile. Benny bristled and shook his head while a hand rubbed at his back.
"This...wasn't what I had planned...at all. I just wanted to do something nice for you is all," Benny sighed. Samandriel slid a hand up to cup the side of Benny's face, his thumb tracing over the slight jut of his bottom lip.
"You remember when you took me to that drive in?" he asked. Benny's face finally warmed up, smiling a little with a nod.
"I like simple things like that Benny. I don't need to go to fancy resteraunts or...carriage rides. It was really sweet, it was. But I don't want to do things that make you uncomfortable either," he explained. Benny nodded before leaning in, nuzzling his face into the crook of Samandriel's shoulder.
"Kay," he heard mumbled and Samandriel smiled, kissing Benny's shoulder. They stood there for a few minutes before Benny straightened, wincing at the twinge in his back probably.
"Can we go home?" Samandriel asked linking their fingers. Benny nodded, eagerly pulling him towards the car.
Benny didn't stop feeling out of sorts until they were locked away in their bedroom, away from prying ears and eyes. Castiel had tried to intercept them on their way but Samandriel just whispered later to his brother before they were closing the door.
Now he had hot water filling the tub with some delicious sweet scent that Samandriel had poured in. The bubbles were light and frothy and Benny was so lost in watching them form that he hadn't realized Samandriel was back in the room. He nearly jumped out of his skin when slightly chilled fingers grazed up his bare back.
"I think that movie got to both of us," Samandriel teased with a fond warmth in his eyes. Benny took in a deep calming breath and turned around slowly the air in his lungs constricting. Samandriel looked so beautiful staring up at him in nothing but just a towel wrapped around his waist. His fingers traced over his smooth face, following the sharp angles of his jaw before leaning in to capture Samandriel's lips.
"Let's get in the bath," Samandriel hummed, his gaze turning a bit heated as he unknotted the towel around Benny's waist, letting it fall where it landed with a soft thud. Benny swallowed hard, his own hands reaching out to undo Samandriel's.
The water was nice and hot enough to turn their skin a bit pink, the bubbles making him feel all lightheaded. His budding erection had gone down somewhat, not that he minded at the moment, just having Samandriel in his arms relaxed and pliant was more than enough. Music was playing softly from Samandriel's phone on the counter safely away from the water. Benny had filled the tub so much that they were both up to their chins, some of the water had spilled over the edge but once again, Benny couldn't care less. He'd clean it up later.
It must have been nearly an hour later when the water started to cool down and the bubbles had receded a great amount. He could actually see Samandriel's body and he licked his chapped lips as his hands began to rub along his sides. Samandriel moaned softly, pressing back against him a bit more. At the tilt of his head Benny kissed along his shoulder, following it up to his neck to start nibbling.
"Benny...that tickles," Samandriel huffed a laugh, his body jerking at the sensation. The motion caused Samandriel to grind back against his softened cock that was quickly waking up. Benny hissed, his growing erection rubbed along the cleft of Samandriel's ass and the younger boy gasped, his head falling back against Benny's shoulder.
Benny berated himself and gritted his teeth as his hands gripped onto Samandriel's waist, keeping him still, "We should get out cher...the water's gettin cold."
"O-Okay," Samandriel stammered. Both of them were shaking a bit from not only their relaxed state...but the budding arousal simmering in their stomachs. Benny could see the lust shining in Samandriel's eyes and he couldn't help pulling him close. His erection pushed up against his stomach as he cupped the sides of Samandriel's face, kissing him slow and deep. Samandriel's lips parted in a gasp and Benny took advantage of the moment to slide his tongue in, teasing the roof of his mouth. What he didn't expect was for Samandriel to jump into his arms, legs wrapping around his waist. Benny groaned hungrily, spinning to prop his eager boyfriend on the bathroom counter.
"Benny...I want you," Samandriel whispered against his wet lips. Benny nodded kissing him again only to be pushed away gently.
"No...I want you. Completely," he said, eyes wide and filled with need. Benny swallowed hard and tried to back away but Samandriel wouldn't let him. He locked his ankles at the top of Benny's ass and he sighed, dropping his head to Samandriel's shoulder.
"Are you sure?" he asked, his fingers digging into Samandriel's hips. He needed to ground himself...Samandriel wouldn't lie to him...wouldn't tell him that he was okay with it when he really wasn't.
"Bear...look at me," he said lifting Benny's face with his fingers under his chin, "I don't know why you think you're going to hurt me. Yes I know you're very well endowed but I trust you to take care of me."
Benny swallowed against the lump in his throat and nodded, wrapping his arms around Samandriel tightly. He hadn't even realized that he was shaking until Samandriel started rubbing his back in slow circles. There was nothing else to say...Samandriel had heard this story before, knowing just how badly Benny's previous lovers had treated him. How Benny had put his trust in them for it to be just thrown back in his face so many times. It happened more often out of the bedroom then in...if it even got that far.
Now Samandriel was trusting him...putting his faith in Benny to take care of him and to not hurt him. He'd never had that before and it was terrifying. Benny took in another breath and leaned away just enough to kiss him again, pulling him flush against his chest. Samandriel smiled against his lips, his arms wrapping around Benny's shoulders as he was picked up.
"If you want to stop at anytime...you need to tell me and we will," he reiterated. Samandriel nodded, tracing his fingers over the bridge of Benny's nose. He felt his chest swell at how much affection and love was shining in Samandriel's eyes and in that moment, he knew without a doubt that this was it. Samandriel was it for him. His entire heart was wrapped around this young man and he couldn't stop the laugh bubbling forth. Samandriel's smile widened as his head tilted...reminding him so much of Castiel that he laughed even more. It was such a happy sound, he wasn't used to hearing that out of himself.
He dropped Samandriel on the bed and bit his lip watching as he scooted back, his arms opening once he was settled. God damn he was one hell of a lucky man.
Oh how I love this couple sooooooo much. Next chapter...Samandriel and Benny getting to know each other very intimately.
