I swear I hate this stupid site. It decided to be an asshole and whip out a '503 Service Unavailable' on everyone two nights, meaning I couldn't get into my account to update. So I'm triple-posting yesterday, the day before and today's prompts and I really hope you'll review all three chapters! I'm just so mad because I pride myself on updating this every day!
65. Pink
"Cas! You can't wear that!" Dean groaned. Cas gave him a puzzled look.
"Why?" Cas looked down at the pink shirt he was trying on in confusion. "What's wrong with it, Dean? It fits well and it is a very nice colour."
"That's the thing!" Dean hissed uncomfortably. "It's pink! Guys don't wear pink! That's a girly colour!"
"I was unaware that certain colours possessed a preference for a specific gender," Cas said. "You are restricting yourself to societal rules, Dean. Pink is simply a colour, just like red or yellow or blue. And I rather like this colour. I refuse to allow society to dictate what I am allowed to wear purely based on colour."
Cas returned to the changing room to take the shirt off and emerged with it slung over his arm.
"And besides," he said, "pink used to be regarded as a masculine colour. It was a close relative of red, which was perceived as a masculine colour due to its fiery nature. And girls used to be assigned blue because it was seen as pretty and dainty. But now that has changed."
Dean blinked in surprise.
"Are you really going to allow yourself to be bound by societal rules when you would not let even Michael control you?" Cas continued. Dean glared at the shirt in Cas' arms.
'This is your fault!' he thought. But Cas was right. He'd stood up to Michael himself, yet he was letting people tell him what was right and what was wrong?
"Fine," he grumbled. "Get the damn shirt."
Cas smiled and went to look for more clothes. And, though he wanted to, Dean couldn't deny that the soft pink brought out the blue in Cas' eyes very nicely and anything that emphasised that beautiful colour was alright in his books.
