Once Benny, Charlie, Kevin and Gabriel had gathered around the kitchen table Dean handed out cups of coffee, along with a container of sugar and bottle of creamer from the fridge before excusing himself to check on Castiel, who still hadn't come out of the bathroom. Surely no one could blame him for being concerned about their friend.
"Morning Sammy, hey do me a favor and call Pamela at the donut shop and get everyone's breakfast order, have her send it over with Ash..." Dean announced passing Sam on the couch, noticing he was awake and typing away on his phone, Dean assumed he was texting their dad. "Okay, Dean." was his reply.
Dean marched into the hallway, stopping just outside the bathroom door. He hesitated to knock, deciding against it and choosing to call out through the door instead. "Everything ok in there, Cas?" his only response was a surprised gasp quickly followed by the sound of something falling in the tub, Dean figured it was a shampoo bottle from the noise it made.
"Yeah... Yes! Everything's fine, I'll, um, be out soon! Tell everyone sorry for hogging the b-bathroom!" Castiel shouted from inside the bathroom, Dean frowned at the door, worry crossing his face momentarily. "No worries, Cas... Glad you're ok." Dean said to the door before returning to the kitchen.
Everyone turned curious faces up at Dean as he came walking back into the kitchen. "Cas sends his apology, he's taking a shower but he'll be out shortly..." Dean clarified moving to take up the empty chair next to Sam, who had joined everyone else. Charlie, Kevin and Benny nodded in understanding, only Gabriel shared a look of confused concern with Dean.
"Breakfast order is in, Pamela said twenty minutes tops and she'll have Ash over here in a flash." Sam declared excitedly from his seat between Dean and Kevin.

Leaving everyone to sort through their breakfast orders, Dean grabbed his egg and sausage sandwich as well as the egg and cheese English muffin for Cas, along with the two bottles of Oj he had snagged for the two of them.
Dean smiled faintly when he approached the open door to Castiel's room, spotting Castiel sitting on his bed.
"Can I come in?" Dean announced getting Cas' attention from his phone in his hand. Castiel smiled shyly, nodding in response to Dean's question. Dean stepped over to the bed, planting himself beside Castiel and offering the English muffin and Oj to him, which he accepted graciously.
"Sorry about earlier..." Castiel offered quietly, staring down at the breakfast muffin in his hand, not able to bring himself to look at Dean. Dean shrugged, taking a bite of his sandwich before deciding how best to respond to Cas.
"You don't need to apologize for anything, Cas. I get it, believe me." Dean said, playfully elbowing him in the side.
"Things happen in the morning when your brain isn't fully in control of shit... It's nothing to be embarrassed about, got it?" Dean smiled. Castiel heaved a sigh of relief, smiling back at Dean. He felt better knowing Dean wasn't judging him for what had happened.
"I did happen to notice Benny in bed as well, anything happen there?" Castiel inquired, happy to change the subject and move on. Dean's eyes widened, quickly shaking his head. "Dude, I don't like Benny like that..." he was quick to diminsh that idea before it could fully develop.
"Oh, I just thought." Castiel waved his free hand in the air, like shooing away an insect. Dean chuckled, surprising Castiel. "Seriously Cas? Were you not in the same bed this morning?" he questioned, looking closely at Castiel, watching the gears turning in his head. There it is Dean thought.
"Yeah, you weren't the only one, Cas..." Dean left that hanging in the air between them, ready to clarify when a knock at Castiel's door made them both jump and look up to see Benny standing in the doorway. "Yes, Benny?" Dean prompted.
"Didn't mean to interrupt nothin', but we're all heading out. Thought maybe you two would like to be gracious hosts and see us to the door? Charlie's gonna take Sam to some arcade, but she wanted your blessin' before she made off with mini Winchester..." Benny announced with a grin.

"Is Dad okay with this plan?" Dean questioned Sam as he and the rest of their friends all gathered by the front door, having collected all their belongings and any unopened alcohol Dean told them to take with them.
"Yes, I texted him earlier but Charlie wanted to ask your permission since you're technically in charge of me right now." Sam explained, giving Dean his serious face. Dean could only shake his head at his little brother. "Just stick with her and do what she says, okay?" Dean responded, ruffling Sam's shaggy hair.
"Kevin's coming with us, so he'll be extra safe. Promise!" Charlie grinned, patting Sam's shoulder. Kevin stepped up next to them, smiling up at Dean. "Well, have fun then Sammy." Dean nodded, smiling.
"The rest of you, thanks for coming and breaking in the new place. Maybe we can make this a regular weekend thing!" Dean called as everyone made their way out of the apartment, leaving him and Castiel standing in the tiny entryway to the apartment.
