Sam and Jess Winchester had just got back from work and where settling down for a quite drink before they considered the idea of dinner. It was a peaceful, normal evening. Much the same as every evening they had and Sam loved it, just as he loved his wife and his life. The only thing that ever troubled his mind was his big brother. It seemed that no matter what Dean still hadn't found what he was looking for. He was always moving, never getting involved with anyone to any serious extent. Sam was convinced in fact that the reason Dean moved all the time was because he got too familiar with a place, and as such too close to the people there. And Dean did not do close. Even with him, his brother was somewhat reserved, refusing to have 'chick-flick moments' as he called them, or talk about anything remotely personal. But on the whole Sam didn't really think about it much. He was sure that one day Dean would find the love of his life just as Sam had found Jess and then he would settle down, leaving the wander-lust behind. Or maybe out there somewhere was someone who had that lust as much as his brother did and they could travel the country together in the impala just as he and Dean had done before he had his Jess. Either way he just wanted Dean to be happy. But as said, he didn't' think about it much and he certainly wasn't thinking of his brother when the knock came on the door. Which was why he was rather surprised when he opened it to be engulfed in a furious hug before the person doing the hugging pulled back to revel his brother, with the biggest, strangest grin on his face that Sam had ever seen. In fact the grin alone made Sam's guard come up with a vengeance. Just what had happened how? He observed his brother closely and noticed that the hand that had pulled him into a hug was now clasped tightly around another's. The other hand belonged to a man with messy black hair and the most penetrating blue eyes Sam had ever seen. It was like the guy was looking through him and reading his inner thoughts, if he hadn't been on guard by Deans behaviour, one look at this man would have definitely put him there. What the hell was Dean doing holding his hand? Of course all this happened in the millisecond it took before Dean spoke.

"Sammy, I want you to meet my boyfriend Cas. Cas this is Sam."

At the word boyfriend Sam's eyebrows rose and his eyes widened, cos really? But when he turned back to Cas this time the man seemed to have softened his stare and he now had a small smile upon his lips.

"Hello Sam." he said in an extremely deep voice, it was a voice you didn't expect to come out of such a man.

"Um hi Cas, Dean. Come in." Sam replied flustered about all that had just happened. He would have to get this story from his brother, but he wasn't sure he felt like quizzing him in front of Cas. He had the strangest feeling that if he said anything remotely upsetting to Dean, his boyfriend would not be pleased, and that first look at Cas made Sam realise that displeasing this Cas would probably be the wrong thing to do.


Castiel watched Sam as he walked through the door. He had sensed his alertness at Deans behaviour, making him stare and study the brother of the human he loved. While Sam and Dean were very different, that study of his soul showed that in the important ways there were very similar, and it showed that Sam was very cautious of his brother suddenly having a boyfriend. Which was understandable considering Dean's relationship history, or more to the point, the lack of it.

Once in the front room Castiel turned his study to Sam's wife Jessica. She was a friendly woman, but he could see that when it came to his relationship with Dean she was just as surprised and cautious as her husband and as such was taking her cues from him. It was likely that he would be questioned by these two at some point this evening and that thought alarmed him. Because he was sure that he didn't have adequate answers to the questions they would have.

Sam watched Dean walk into the front room without dropping Cas' hand until he let go to give Jess a hug just as bone crushing as the one he had given him.

"I'm guessing you want a beer and will be staying for dinner?" Sam asked as Dean sat down on the couch having reclaimed Cas' hand and pulled him down with him.

"Hell yeah." Dean replied smiling happily at having the three most important people in his life in one room. He ignored the look on his brother's face as he cast wary glances at Cas. I mean Sam was the one telling him he needed to find his true love, well now Dean had, Sam was just going to have to accept it.

Sam went to the kitchen and pulled out two more beers and checked the fridge to see what they had in that his brother would eat. With a sigh he realised that the best course of action for food that evening would probably to get a takeout pizza… or three. With that he returned to the front room with the beers and gave them to Dean and Cas and sat in the armchair so he could watch these two together and see there expressions as he asked questions. He was after all a lawyer and asking questions was pretty much in his job description.

"So Dean, how long have you and Cas been together?" He asked pleasantly, as a good place as any to start.

"About five days." Dean replied with a smile still holding tight to Cas' hand, though whether he was aware he was doing it or not Sam wasn't sure. It seemed that it was almost instinctual to his brother, which Sam had to admit was kinda sweet.

"No Dean it's been eleven days." Castiel interrupted turning to Dean with a frown making Dean smile endearingly at him, an expression Sam was sure he had never seen on his brothers face before.

"He meant in a relationship Cas." Dean replied fondly.

"Oh." The angel responded. He still did not always understand the subtleties of human language.

"Why what did you mean?" Sam asked turning to him with a smile.

"When Dean and I met." Castiel explained as if it was obvious.

"Wait, you've only known each other 11 days?" Sam asked astonished that in such a short time his brother had decided to actually get into a relationship. And if he was any judge, he really cared for this guy. That in itself was a miracle in Sam's mind, let alone it happening in 11 days.

"Yep." Dean replied with the manic goofy wide smile of his proclaiming his love and happiness.

"So how did that happen?" Sam asked, because now he was seriously intrigued about just what had happened to get his brother to drop his guard to such an extent in so short a time.

"Cas appeared in front of my car, he was lucky I didn't hit him." Dean replied with a soft smile on his face as he remembered that day when he had to swerve to avoid running the guy over and how he had without thinking offered him a lift. That was the best thing he had ever done.

At his words Cas' eyes widened. Was that what Dean saw? Him appearing before him? That was not good, Dean could not know that he was an angel or the consequences from the others could be dire, to them all.

"Very with your driving." Sam said dryly to his brother.

"Hey I'm a good driver, bitch." Dean replied with mock affront.

"Yeah right, jerk." And that was it. Dean and Sam fell into the usual friendly banter, Sam forgetting his interrogation of the relationship between Dean and Cas in favour of just enjoying having his brother with him once again. He always forgot when he was gone how much he missed Dean.
