Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.
Castiel and Dean were travelling down yet another back road with no actual destination in mind (or at least that was how it seemed to Castiel) And so the angel decided it was high time that he came up with an action plan for finding Dean his perfect mate. The plan of getting Dean to 'open up' seemed so far to be going rather well. He had accepted Castiel as his travelling companion and seemed to like him even though he had very little knowledge of the human world. So now he had to work out where he was going to go from here. He knew he couldn't find Dean his perfect partner on the road, Dean never stayed in one place long enough to get to know anyone when he was on the road. But Castiel remembered Dean had said he was heading to see his brother in California. There was a lot of road between here and there but maybe Castiel could gain Dean's trust in that time and teach him to trust more people so that once they got there he could find him his other half and Dean would be able to settle near his brother. He knew that Dean would like that, being near to Sammy, he just needed a reason to stay. Maybe while Dean slept he could go scout out possible partners for Dean there? Yes that was a perfect plan. With that settled Castiel went back to enjoying the drive and watching the scenery floating by. They had a long drive and he might as well enjoy himself while he was here. It wasn't like he would be returning anytime soon after he had finished this assignment.
Dean happily drove down roads heading in the general direction of his brother but taking turnings when he felt he wanted to. There was no rush after all. He had his car beneath him and the open road in front. Who could ask for more? With that thought he took a sideways look at his passenger to see him smiling out the window. Which in turn made Dean smile, though he couldn't tell you why. Maybe it was because the guy seemed so at peace somehow. But anyway that did bring Deans mind to the deal they had made that morning about Cas' eating habits and as such he turned his mind to what food he could introduce the guy to next. There were so many choices. With the pleasant thought of food and Cas in his mind he hummed along to the music as he drove down the road.
He finally pulled into the carpark of a drive-thru to get them some lunch. Turning to smile at Castiel he was about to explain when the man turned to him with those amazing blue eyes and smiled in return.
"Is it time for lunch Dean?" Castiel asked in his deep voice making Dean's mind go blank for a second before he remembered how to talk.
"Yeah I was thinking you could try tacos." He finally managed to get out. Damn he would have to work on that. He couldn't let this guy's eyes completely derail him every time he saw them. He was here for the experience, the journey, no other reason and Dean needed to get his head out of the gutter and realise that. With that he made himself get out of the car and take a deep breath.
"Very well Dean, I trust your judgement." Castiel replied as he also exited the car making Dean inwardly groan and outwardly tip his head back and close his eyes. Why the hell was this guy so trusting? He found him far too attractive, but he was also far too innocent for Dean to do anything about it. Hell he didn't even know if Cas was interested in men? What the hell? BROTHER.
Castiel smirked as Dean tipped his head back and he got a faint wave of the feelings Dean was currently experiencing. It seemed that Dean was becoming sexually attracted to him. Well that would be good, as long as Dean continued not to act on it. If he was opening himself up to Castiel like that then when they got to California Dean would be ready to have a relationship with another human. Yes this would work well with Castiel's plan.
"Okay, let's go." Dean finally managed to say pulling himself out of his mind, though remembering not to look Cas in the eyes this time. With that he lead the way over to the building in which they would get there food.
When Castiel was confronted with a taco he was confused about how he was to go about eating this thing and as such watch Dean eat his. It was most enlightening, it seemed that Dean just shoved as much of it in his mouth as he could get. Well Castiel could do that he supposed. And as such when Dean looked over at his travelling companion he almost choked on his food. For Cas had what looked like half the freaking taco in his mouth. Damn didn't that guy have a gag reflex? No Dean don't even go there he chastised himself when his mind went elsewhere on the thought of gag reflexes. He really had to stop sexualising Cas. He was here for the journey, hell he was becoming a friend, not a one night stand or lover.
Castiel noticed Dean had stopped eating and turned to look at him as he crunched down on the taco he had in his mouth and chewed, he didn't understand why Dean was just staring at him, maybe he was wondering if he liked this new food? With that thought he quickly swallowed the load he had in his mouth and spoke.
"I believe I like these tacos Dean. Thank you for introducing them to me." He said with a smile for the human who was still looking at him slightly stunned, which confused the angel and caused him to tilt his head.
Dean watched Cas eat halt the taco in one go, he saw him smile and heard him speak, though god knows what the words spoken were. He was just staring at the guy. It was the head tilt that pulled him out of wherever his mind had gone, cos honestly he didn't have a clue. The head tilt made him realise that whatever fucked up thing was going on with him was becoming noticeable to his passenger, and he didn't want that. He wanted Cas to enjoy his first road trip, not worry about whatever was going on in Deans freaking mind.
"Good, that's good." Dean finally replied and turned back to his own food, though now he wasn't so hungry, but he needed to eat. With that he shovelled the tacos into his mouth and they past the rest of the stop without talking and Dean without looking towards his companion once. He really had to get a handle on himself here.
