Hello my little cherubs. I would like to thank Guest and Mummabro for their lovely reviews as well as thank those who have favoured and followed this little story of mine. So enough from me, let's go shopping shall we?
Disclaimer: I own nothing relating to Supernatural.
Gabriel took Castiel to the best store in town to get him a decent suit to wear that night. After about five minutes he insisted that he pick the choices, as when Castiel tried he picked up the shapeless monstrosities and Gabriel was not having his brother wear any on those on a date. No way.
He picked out three suits for him to try: a simple dark blue fitted two piece, a dark grey pinstripe in a classic style and his favourite a light grey three piece. He then pushed his brother towards the changing rooms with a selection of shirts telling him he had to come out and show him each of them once he had them on.
The first Castiel tried on was the dark blue one with a light mauve shirt underneath. The sight of his brother wearing that combination made Gabriel's eyebrows go up and he whistled in appreciation at how good Castiel looked in it. It set of his colourings perfectly.
"Looking good bro." he said smiling.
"Fine. Then let's get it and go." Castiel replied. He really didn't want to be doing this.
"No way man, you're trying the others on before I make a decision." Gabriel replied turning him back round towards the changing rooms and giving him a gentle push in the back as he heard him groan.
The next was the classic pinstripe, which Gabriel had to agree didn't suit Cassie at all.
"Then let's get the first?" Castiel whined. He knew it was pointless but he really wanted to leave now.
"No try on the three piece." Gabriel snapped, he was starting to become fed up with his brother's behaviour. He was trying to help him out here and all he got was abuse.
When Castiel came out of the changing rooms for the third time Gabriel's jaw literally dropped. The light grey three piece with a white wide collared shirt underneath made his brother look like a sex god.
Damn he was good with picking clothing he thought as he nodded his head to himself. This was the one.
"Okay Cassie. That's the one." He said smiling.
Castiel on the other hand was no longer paying attention to his brother, he had just seen Dean Winchester enter the store and was busy watching him look through the suits on offer.
"Cassie, you listening to me? I said you can go change now." Gabriel said snapping his fingers in front of his brother's face as he seemed to be miles away (more like a few feet across the store hon). When Castiel came back to Gabriel he had a slight flush on his cheeks. Interesting, Gabriel thought. He hadn't seen his brother blush for a very long time.
"What Gabriel?" Castiel asked, he was still wondering if Dean would try on any of the suits and then that took him to imagining what he would look like in them. (Ah nice imagery…And I'm back.)
"I said go change." Gabriel snapped as Castiel seemed too have drifted off again. Once he got his brother back in the changing rooms Gabriel turned to see what had distracted his brother, or rather who he thought when he noticed the two other men in the store. The question was which one was the one little Cassie had be ogling.
Sam took Dean to his favourite suit shop to get him his date clothes, manfully ignoring Dean's continuous grumbling. Once inside Dean just grabbed the first suit he found in his size and told Sam he would buy that. Sam on the other hand had a different idea. He found after some searching a black sleek fitted two piece suit which he felt would suit Dean to a tee. Giving it to him with a soft grey shirt and a dark blue tie he pushed his brother to the changing rooms.
Once they got there they found a man already sitting in the waiting area. He wasn't very tall and had floppy blond hair and a look on his face as if he was asking for divine intervention. Sam sat next to him and shooed Dean into the dressing rooms. Dean just glared at him as he made his way round the corner to go down the corridor to find a free changing room. He was looking down at his suit and wasn't paying any attention to his surroundings when he literally ran into the man of his dreams.
Castiel was trying to get the suits back on the hangers as he walked out of the changing room hoping the Dean was still be there so that maybe he could meet him when he collided with something very solid. Make that someone very solid he thought as his eyes travelled up the body in front of him appreciatively until they met the green eyes of Dean Winchester.
Dean couldn't believe it, there in front of him was Castiel Novak, the man whose blue eyes had been haunting his dreams. He just stared as the guy raised his eyes until they met his.
Castiel and Dean just stood there staring into the others eyes, invading each other's personal space, not saying a word. Castiel was the first to come back to reality and was therefore the first to speak.
"I'm sorry I was-" He started in his gravelly voice but Dean quickly cut him off.
"no, I'm sorry I…" Dean wasn't sure what else he was going to say and he was sorry now that he had cut the man in front of him off. He had the most amazing deep voice he had ever heard. He could listen to that all day. They went back to staring at each other in silence. Back in their own little world which consisted of only the two of them. That was until…
"Cassie if you don't get your sexy ass out here right now then so help me god." Was yelled from the other side of the wall by Gabriel.
And outside the changing room Sam Winchester watched the other man practically pull his hair out in frustration as he yelled into the changing rooms and he smiled. He thought he had it bad with Dean. It looked like this guy had it worse.
Castiel and Dean jumped at the yell, bringing them back to reality and breaking their eye contact.
Castiel suddenly found himself very interested in the pattern on the carpet as he spoke. "I had best-"
Dean interrupted him again. He was pretty sure he knew the ending of that sentence and the guy who had yelled sounded real cross. That wasn't the way a friend behaved, more like family. "Yeah I have to…." But he yet again found himself not being able to complete the sentence as when he started talking Castiel had raised his head and blue met green again.
Castiel couldn't not look at the man, even if he knew he really shouldn't. He was behaving like an infatuated school boy. With that thought he managed to rip his eyes from Dean's and take a step back towards the exit and then another. Finally when he felt he was far enough he looked back up into Dean's eyes one last time and said lowly "go." Before turning and leaving the changing area. And Dean just stood there and watched him leave. He didn't want him to go, but there was nothing he could say or do to make him stay. (So not true, I can think of plenty of things Dean.) Though watching Castiel walk away did have its compensations Dean thought as he watched the guys' ass.
Coming out of the changing rooms Castiel's eyes looked like a hurricane was blowing behind them. "Come on then let's go pay." Cas snapped at Gabriel. He had just had his first meeting with Dean Winchester and he acted like a complete infatuated idiot and then his brother started screaming like a fish wife.
"What's your problem Castiel?" Gabriel asked wearily, he could see the storm brewing in his brother's eye and he really didn't want it directed at him. (Sorry too late for that Gabriel.)
"You are. You're such a god damn dick sometimes Gabriel. Did you know that?" And with that Castiel stormed off leaving Gabriel speechless watching him. Though he had just learned some useful information. It wasn't the giant with the long brown hair sitting in the waiting room who had distracted his brother earlier but the other one with the short blond hair. Interesting. (Very, now you need to remember this Gabriel. You need to tell Charlie. Remember: Tell Charlie.)
When Dean came out of trying on the suit he looked around to find that Castiel has gone. He couldn't ask Sam if he saw where he went or who he was with or anything. For the first time ever Dean questioned his decision not to tell Sam about his sexual preferences. He had just met the most gorgeous man in the world and he didn't even have the bloody guts to tell his brother. Instead he had to listen to him go on and on about his date tonight. With Lisa. (Don't worry Dean. It will all sort itself out. Eventually.)
