Dean and Cas travelled all day, stopping only briefly for lunch where they grabbed something quick and easy. Through the most of the journey they sat in the car holding hands. And even when Dean needed to take his back to drive, once the manoeuvre was completed his hand somehow (all on its own volition of course) found its way back to being joined to the man's beside him.

They spoke little. Dean not sure what to say, what it was they should be talking about and still not completely understanding what his new role entailed, though having Cas' hand in his did give him a calming feel.

Castiel on the other hand was just enjoying the moment. Wrapping himself up in the peace he obtained by being here with Dean. And enjoying the feelings that the other man washed him with through their physical connection. There was no need for words in his mind. He knew them all, and he just wanted to make sure that Dean stayed relaxed, and open to this new situation they found themselves in.

And so this continued until they pulled up at a motel. Once he turned off the engine Dean sat there in the driver's seat holding Cas' hand as a question crossed his mind. One he had no idea of the answer too, but he had a feeling he should know automatically. The question was, should he get two beds or one? Cos Cas had said they weren't having sex, which made him lean to the idea that two beds would be the best idea. But what if Cas thought that meant he didn't like him or wasn't completely committed to this relationship thing or… something? Maybe Cas would get the wrong idea if he got two beds. But if he got one it would look like he expected Cas to jump into bed with him and that would no doubt piss Cas off that he thought sex was now on the cards. Damn it. When did this get all so complicated?

"Dean, what is wrong?" Castiel asked with a frown marring his face as he felt Deans feeling shift from calm to agitated in seconds through the contact they still shared through the joined hands.

"It's nothing Cas." Dean replied, he needed to resolve this himself.

"Dean, do not lie to me. We are together now, we should share what is worrying us." Castiel replied narrowing his eyes at the human. Dean needed to learn to share his troubles and resolve them with his help.

At that sentence Dean sat there staring out of the front window and thought. His immediate reaction was to brush it off with a joke or sarcastic comment, but maybe Cas was right. He was wondering what Cas wanted him to do now they were together, and it seemed that Cas had just given him the answer to some of it at least. Maybe he should do what Cas wants. So taking a deep breath he actually answered the question as truthfully as he could.

"I don't know what you expect from me Cas."

"I expect nothing, I just wish you to be yourself. That is the man I care for. I do not want you to change in anyway." Castiel replied immediately looking at his human and squeezing his hand to emphasise his point. He needed Dean to learn to be himself, and to be loved for himself.

"Really?" Dean asked in disbelief turning to find Cas' blues eyes looking at him with such sincerity and care.

"Yes." Castiel replied gently smiling at him.

"So if I go in there and get us a room with just one bed, you'd be alright with that?" Dean finally asked the question which was at the forefront of his mind.

"If that is what you wish Dean." Castiel replied chuckling lightly that this seemed to be such a dilemma to Dean. It did not matter to him where he lay his head, he didn't actually sleep after all. He also knew that no matter what Dean would ask nothing more from him than he was willing to give.

"No Cas I'm asking what you wish." Dean said exasperated with the man. How was he supposed to give Cas what he wanted if the damn man didn't tell him what that was?

"Whatever you choose Dean I will be happy. Just because we are sharing a bed it does not mean that we will be having sexual relations. But there is much you can do in a bed that is not sexual." Castiel explained as if speaking to a child. He was doing this for Dean after all, so it should be the human's choice about the sort of relationship they were to have.

"Such as?" Dean asked with raised eyebrows. Personally he couldn't think of much else you could do when sharing a bed with someone you had the hots for, but that could just be him.

"Sleeping, cuddling. Those sorts of things." Castiel replied with a shrug turning to look out of the window so Dean would not see the roll of his eyes at Deans mind once again going to sexual intercourse.

"And is that what you want to do tonight Cas? Cuddle?" Dean asked cringing inside. Damn it, he did not cuddle. Though he knew that if Cas said yes then this evening he would indeed be cuddling.

"No this evening I wish for you to teach me to kiss, but first I feel we should have a room in which to conduct my lesson." Castiel replied turning back to him and staring at him with those intense blue eyes. Dean just sat there and blinked back, cos I mean really, that was not what he had expected the man to say. Like ever.

"Don't you agree?" Castiel continued when Dean did not respond to his suggestion. He hoped he hadn't been too forward.

"Yeah…okay." Dean managed to get out trying to work out how you taught someone to kiss. Cos from his experience, it was just something you did. With that Dean got out of car still having no idea what kind of room he would get because his mind was still stuck on the idea of teaching Cas to kiss. Though his brain had gone from trying to work out how he would do it, to what it was they would be doing. The thought of having Cas' lips on him once more. Damn, he wasn't sure if he was excited cos he would get to kiss Cas and that was something he really wanted to do, or terrified by the plan because he was only going to get to kiss Cas. He wasn't one for stopping himself when he got going but he was going to have to here. Cos him and Cas would not be going any further than the kissing thing. Hmm, maybe he should get two beds just to make sure he didn't jump the guy in his sleep or something. With that thought he went into the reception of the motel and got a twin room as he had been doing so far on this journey for him and Cas.

Dean had thought that they would start the lesson as soon as they got into the room, but instead Cas seemed to be delaying it. Was the guy just nervous, or did he not want to kiss Dean anymore? Not that Dean was going to push him either way.

Castiel watched Dean as they got into the room and he decided as much as he would like to start his lesson (purely so he could start getting Dean to open up you understand), he wanted to be able to take his time making sure that Dean did in fact start to open up. As such they should probably get the human some food before they started. With that thought he turned with a smile to ask.

"Where are we eating dinner this evening Dean?"

"Umm, I don't mind. The diner down the street?" Dean replied somewhat taken aback by the question as his mind was completely on the thought of having his lips on Cas'. But then another thought crossed his mind, did Cas expect him to take him on out for a smart dinner, like on a date or something? Had he just screwed up again?

Castiel nodded at Dean's words and while he didn't understand completely he felt a feel of nervousness from Dean, though he didn't know why. But he felt that maybe he should verbalise his acceptance of Deans plan.

"That sounds acceptable. Shall we go?" he asked. The sooner they ate, the sooner he could start his lesson.

Dean looked at the man. He wasn't sure what the hell was going through Cas' mind. One minute he says he wants to learn to kiss and then he wants to go for food. He asks him to be in a relationship with him, then does nothing about it. Cas really was a contradiction in Deans mind. As such he decided it was time for him to man up. There were after all two people in this relationship. And he was for better or worse, one of them.

"Okay." Dean replied but as Cas turned to move out the door Dean grabbed his arm and turned him back to him. Once they were once again face to face Dean quickly lowered his face to Cas' and brushed his lips across the other mans before changing his hold on Cas' arm so that they were once again hold hands and gesturing for Cas to lead the way out of the door.

Castiel stood there, stunned briefly from the emotions that had coursed through him when Dean had kissed him. He hadn't thought the connection between them was long enough for him to feel all of that. Plus they felt… different than the ones he had been getting from Dean. But if they weren't from Dean, then where were they from, or who were they from? He did not have time to analyse them right now, no, now he had to go and eat. Though food was the furthest thing from his mind in that moment. For a brief second he wished he could tell Dean he didn't need to eat so he could stay in the motel room alone and think, but he couldn't do that, he couldn't let Dean know he was an angel. Also if he was honest with himself he didn't really want Dean going off on his own. Which was a strange thought for him to have, but there you are. Maybe he was getting possessive of his charge because he didn't want him to ruin his chance at happiness. Either way Castiel was going for dinner with Dean.
