"Maybe you wonder where you are
I don't care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there...take you there"
Road To Nowhere – Talking Heads


Dean woke to sunlight streaming into his eyes and a cramped feel in his body, blinking against the glare he found himself lying on the back seat of the impala. How in the hell did he get there? The last thing he remembered was falling asleep on the hood of the car after- oh god, he had tried to kiss Cas. What the hell was his problem? why would he do that? He was supposed to be looking after the guy not trying to seduce him. How in the hell would he be able to look him in the eye now? At least Cas had turned away and Dean hadn't done something really stupid. Letting out a sigh at his own actions Dean slowly sat up and looked around. He expected to find Cas asleep in the front of the car but no he was instead still lying on the hood. What the hell? He hoped the guy hadn't been out there all night. The desert got cold when the sun went down. Slowly making his body move Dean dragged himself out of the car and round to the front, but rather than speaking he just stared down at the man laid out on his hood with his eyes closed and a smile on his lips as he seemed to be basking in the morning sun.

"Hello Dean." Castiel said in his deep voice without opening his eyes.

"Hey Cas. Umm, how you this morning?" Dean asked rubbing his neck as he tried to think of a way to apologise for his behaviour the night before.

"I am well Dean, and yourself?" Castiel asked as he sat up and slid of the bonnet of the car. He had lain there all night watching the stars and letting his mind wonder. It had been very peaceful. And when the sun had come up he had closed his eyes and just enjoyed the feel of it on his skin. It was complete bliss.

"Umm, yeah I'm good." Dean replied looking at Cas with a frown. The guy seemed no different from the day the before. Which meant either he didn't hold it against Dean that he had tried to kiss him or (and Dean suddenly realised that this was probably the most likely) the guy had no idea that Dean was going to kiss him at all. I mean he had no memories, and when the waitress had flirted with him he seemed really awkward. So Dean guessed that his secret was safe, thank god. He did not want things to become awkward between the two of them. He liked the guy, and he didn't just mean in a physical way. No he liked the guy as a friend, for all his dorky weirdness and lack of knowledge, Having him round made Dean content.

"That is good." Castiel replied putting his hands in his pockets and waiting for Dean to decide what they were going to do today.

"Right okay, well lets go get some breakfast I'm staved." Dean said clapping his hands together at the thought of food, putting the previous evening from his mind as he went round to the drivers side of the car and slid in. Looking over and finding that Cas had joined him he smiled and turned on the engine, rock music blaring out of the speakers as he did so, and drove to the nearest place that sold breakfast type food.

Once they had eaten, Castiel insisting on having some bacon at breakfast, he really did like that, Dean thought over where they would go next. From here to Sam's wasn't far but Dean decided it was time to introduce Cas to the more wild side of humanity and as such decided to head to Vegas. It wasn't that far after all, they would get there that evening easy.

"You ever been to Vegas Cas?" He asked thought he could guess the answer easily enough.

"No." Castiel replied with a frown. He had of course heard of Las Vegas. It was, from what he had seen over the years, the modern day version of Gomorrah,a placed filled with sin and as such as an angel he should not enter. But he was pretending to be a human here and so could think of no valid reason not to visit the place with Dean. Though he would stay very close to the man, and hope to refrain him from sinning too greatly.

"Awesome. I'm sure you'll love it Cas." Dean replied with a smirk at the thought of the guy in Vegas. He would of course have to keep a close eye on him. Make sure he didn't trust anyone, or do anything crazy, but he felt like it was definitely a place that Cas should visit at least once in his new life.
With that Dean drove off singing away completely off key to his music. Today was going to be a good day he decided.


By the time they got to a motel on the outskirts of Vegas Dean was not so sure today was a good day after all. First a wheel had blown on his baby and he had to stop and change it. Cas offered his assistance but Dean refused. No one repaired his car but him. Once they had got back on the road it seemed that the traffic was out to get him and it had taken them all day to reach there destination and Dean was tried and grumpy from their journey. As such he had grabbed a take out pizza and some beer on the way to there motel, there was no way in hell he was going out this evening, and he and Cas had settled in to watch crappy TV.


Castiel felt bad for making Deans tire blow. It was just that he had yet to have the information from heaven about his prospects and he couldn't let Dean get to his brothers until he had decided who it was he was going to pair him with. Therefore he had to delay there journey, or at least that was the reason he told himself, and not because the little voice in his head that had the previous evening wondered what it would feel like to have Deans lips on his had got louder and louder as they travelled onwards. The delay tactics had worked and now he was happily lying on his bed watching Dean sleep with the white noise of the television behind him. The man looked so peaceful when he had his eyes closed, Castiel felt he could watch him this way all evening, but his thoughts were interrupted by a voice he knew rather too well across the angelic link.

"Heeeello heaven to Cassie, come in Cassie."

With that Castiel sighed and flew himself out of the room to find Gabriel sitting cross legged on the bonnet of Deans car.

"Gabriel, what are you doing here?" He asked exasperated with his brother.

"Well I thought you would want these." Gabriel replied handing him some folders which contained the information that Castiel had requested.

"So hows it going?" Gabriel asked him brother, not that Castiel was listening, as soon as he had the folders he opened them to see what they could tell him about the people he had thought of as possible matches to Dean.

"None of these will do." Castiel finally replied with another sigh as he closed the last of the three folders. None of them were suitable for Dean, not now he knew him better.

"What's wrong with them?" Gabriel asked. From what he had seen any of those three would be a fit for Dean Winchester.

"Well Lisa is interested in healthy food, Benny does not like to travel and Jo...is too blonde." Castiel replied waving the folders in his face. Not that Gabriel noticed, he was too caught up with Castiel's last excuse cos... really?

"Excuse me, too blonde?" He asked taking the folders from Castiel and making them vanish before he did either of them any bodily harm with them.

"Yes, Dean prefers brunettes." Castiel replied with a nod as if that explained everything while he put his hands in his pockets.

"Okay Cassie. What's going on?" Gabriel asked rubbing his forehead and sliding of the car. Just what was going on inside that head of his brother now?

"Nothing." Castiel mumbled. He didn't really understand what was going on any more than Gabriel, what he did know was that none of those three were suitable for Dean.

"Castiel." Gabriel said in a warning voice that he knew did not bode well unless he told Gabriel the truth. And maybe Gabriel could help. It was his idea to come down here after all, maybe he would have a solution for his latest problem.

"Dean tried to kiss me the last evening." He finally said with a sigh.

"Really? So how did that go? Did you enjoy it?" Gabriel inquired gleefully. The idea of Cassie getting it on with Dean-o was delicious to him, his little brother really was too uptight sometimes. Maybe Dean-o could teach him to loosen up a bit.

"I did not do it Gabriel." Castiel replied offended by his brothers insinuation making Gabriel roll his eyes. Of course he didn't, he was Castiel.

"Why not? You know the saying, when in Rome..." Gabriel tried to cajole him into at least thinking about doing it. It was just one little kiss after all. Nothing major.

"We are not in Rome Gabriel, we are in Las Vegas." Castiel replied crossing his arm and glaring at his brother. Surely Gabriel could see why he didn't kiss Dean.

"Semantics..." Gabriel replied with a wave of his hand and an eye roil. He wasn't letting Castiel get out of this one easily.

"I'm an angel, Gabriel and he is my charge. I am here to try to get him to open up to the idea of having a relationship with someone." Castiel reminded his bother.

"And what better way of doing that than to have a relationship with him, then when you find his match get him to transfer the feelings." Gabriel replied in a persuasive tone and accompanied it with an innocent shrug.

"Gabriel I..." Castiel started, with the aim of saying no, but then stopped. Though he was loathed to admit it the idea did have some merit. If he could show Dean how good a relationship could be, then he would be more than ready to have one with another human when the time came.

"think about it Castiel. Later." and with that Gabriel flew away with a massive smirk on his face. Oh he was so going to be watching how this developed. Cassie needed to have a little fun in his mind, all work and no play made Castiel a dull angel.
