I have been up since 3:30 this morning. My brain is literally mush. I'm making an effort to even English.

226. Puzzle
"No, that piece goes there!" Robbie insisted, pointing violently.
"You're wrong! It goes there!" Zoey snatched the puzzle piece and fitted it into the right place. Robbie visibly wilted.
"How about I help you with this next piece?" Cas said gently, selecting a piece and handing it to Robbie. "Just look at the pattern. Where do you think it goes?"
Robbie frowned at the piece in his hands.
"If you're not sure, you can look at this finished picture of it. Here."
Robbie squinted at the box lid that Cas was holding. His face lit up and he quickly slotted the piece into the right place.
"I did it!"
Cas smiled and stroked the boy's hair.
"Great work, Robbie. Dean, your turn."
Dean blinked, startled out of his trance of staring at Cas.
"Oh – I'll let Zoey take this one."
Zoey grinned and grabbed a piece. Dean continued to stare at Cas, a fond smile crossing his face as his angel helped Robbie complete another piece of the angel puzzle they'd found and thought would be hilarious to buy. By far, his favourite trait of Cas' wasn't his looks or his adorably awkward personality; it was his need and willingness to help anybody, even if he always ended up screwed over.
"Dean, why are you staring at me?" Cas said. Dean shook his head.
"Just thinking about how much I love ya, angel."
Cas looked down with a smile, his cheeks flushed pink.
"Eww!" Zoey and Robbie chorused.
"You lot be quiet," Dean said, pointing at them. "I'm telling your other dad how much I love him and how awesome he is. Either suck it up or get lost."
The kids groaned but kept filling in the puzzle, ignoring the small kisses that Dean and Cas snuck when they thought that Zoey and Robbie weren't looking.
"Is it too late to get new dads?" Zoey complained after a particularly long kiss. Dean just flicked her ear in response.
