"Gabe" Castiel states flat and without a hint of emotion.
"Hey, Cassie" rejoices Gabe with a shit eating grin plastered on his face.
"Wait" Sam interupts," You two know each other?" Dean silently stares at the brothers, eyes big and uncertain as he fidges with the hem of his bandshirt.
"Yeah, sort of" Gabe mentions with a wink and continues "He's my big brother"
Dean and Sam just stare at them with their mouths wide open. Sams mouth opens and closes again without any words tumbling out, it makes him look like a fish trying to breath. Dean catches himself faster and quickly looks down at the floor, his face is flushed red. Gabe just shrugges and chuckles:" Anyway. Cas, that's my friend Dean" he winks at Cas, who glances briefly at the blushing boy before his brother continues"We dated, but we both decided we're not meant to be" a thetric sigh forces its way out of Gabes lips. Castiels eyebrows furrow in confusion.
"Nah, we're just friends." Dean states with a smirks and ads"Gabe is way to weird for me".
"You are really hurting my feelings there, Dean-o" Gabe quibs and punshes him in the shoulder.
The doorbell rings and Sam quickly hurries out the let the ladies in, Dean stumbles into the kitchen to get snacks, drinks and blankets to put on the floor.
Gabe heads to Castiel, who is awstruck, his blue eyes are widened and small smile is plastered on his face.
"Just friends?" he whispers bearly audible.
"Yes, just friends" Gabe answers, with a fond smile and hugs his brother briefly."Now go get him tiger"
Cas breaks out in a relieved laugh:"Shut up, Assbutt!"
"Assbutt?" Dean aks entering the room with a pile of food on his arms. The boys help him unload them.
Castiel blushes and as he arranges the food on the floor he tries to explain:"Our mum greatly dislikes insults in any form, so Gabe and I had to invent a word she could not forbid us to use"
Dean smiles and mumbles "Assbutt" under his breath "I like it", the boy gives Castiel his 100watt smile. Castiels knees get a little weak, and his dark pupils widen.
Loud chatter fills the room as Charlie and Anna finaly arrive. Charlie stops talking as she sees Dean Winchester standing nonchalantly in the room.
Dean looks up at the sudden silence. He chatches Charlies look and stares back at the ginger girl before saying:"Hi, I'm Dean. Sammy's brother" the last part is added with hesitation as he doesn't get an answer.
"I'm Anna" Anna says while nudging her girlfriend in the side."That beautiful girl by my side is named Charlie."
Charlie still doesn't say a word she just stares.
"Usually you can't stop her from talking. Let's enjoy her silence" Castiel tries sounding light and careless while giving Charlie his meanest glare. This seems to get the girl out of her trance.
"Sorry. Hey" she greets lamely.
Sam breaks the sudden tension when he orders the guys to sit down as he puts in the Doctor Who DVD's.
Happily the group plants themselves on the couch and the pile of blankets on the floor. Castiel somewho manages to sit next to Dean on the couch. When they are all settles he glances up at the slightly taller boy and smiles warmly at him. The smile is returned as Dean shoves some chips between his full lips. Cas tries really hard not to look at Dean or get distracted by him, but he only followes the episode for a few minutes until every atom of his being is consumed with thoughts of the boy right next to him. He can feel Deans bodyheat, he can smell that typical leather-motor-oil-aftershave of Dean and it makes him feel intoxicated.
