Chapter Text
It was summer, and Dean was getting antsy staying in the bunker all the time. There were no cases…so Dean, Castiel, Sam, and Jack are at the beach
“Dean! Don't splash me..” Castiel grumbles while sitting out of the water, just where the slight waves were hitting his legs “what, i cant have fun? this is awesome.” dean replies..hes so childish sometimes. its why cas loves him so much, but dean doesnt have to know that yet. he cant risk telling him and being accepted, he’d be truly happy..— “dad! i made a sand castle!” jacks words pull castiel out of his thoughts about the empty “i do like it. a lot jack..good job” castiel smiles dean gets out of the water to sit by castiel, admiring him as usual. he takes advantage of the fact that cas cant tell when people check him out.. dean goes to try and hold cas’ pinky. cas lets dean. “dean..you didnt tell me you had a papercut.” castiel says concerningly, instantly trying to heal it—dean pushes his hand away. “cas! dude ya gotta stop wasting your grace on me..its a papercut.” dean replies, chuckling. “yes-…but..the salt water could sting..and its annoying..” castiel tries to sidetrack dean as he heals him. and it works. “hey! i told you no wastin this on me.. youre a bad listener.” dean jokes,castiel groans and lays against dean. staring at him…castiels blue eyes.. thats my best friend- i cant love him, thats just..wrong dean thinks to himself, not noticing hes tracing castiels tan lines. cas isnt gonna stop dean,, he’d never ever do that. cas is so…happy..hes praying the empty wont take him right there and then. “what’reyou thinking about man?..” dean says, resting a hand on castiels thigh and patting it. “…bees” castiel replies. “bees? thats..— you like bees? guess i gotta get you a bee stuffed animal now, huh?” dean nudges castiels arm and laughs “…i..dont understand that, dean.” cas tilts his head “awhhhha, what a cutie..” dean says, instinctivly ruffling the feathers on castiels wings “dean!i told you to stop doing that.” cas says before shaking off his wings, some feathers getting on dean.. “oh— pffh- cas..god, dude! are you friggin molting?? ugh- dont do that on me..” dean laughs.
soon after, theyre walking along the boardwalk. cas has this blueberry cat plush thing he won in a claw game..using deans money. dean has a strawberry ice cream cone in his hand- “..what is that?” cas points at deans icecream cone. “its icecream, cas. wanna lick?” dean holds the cone toward castiel. castiel takes a small lick..before taking a few more small licks. a lot of them “woah, slow down dude..” castiel recoils back, squeezing his eyes shut and shaking his head. “see? told ya to slow down.” dean says, putting a hand on castiels head “..cold..” cas mumbles before shoving his face onto deans shoulder “ahh..kinda funny to see you do this shit— its like…seeing an angel in a resturant.” “..angels dont eat food” cas. tilts his head all cute. as theyre walking, dean notices cas looks a bit red..almost sunburned- oh god, this is gonna be a nightmare to deal with. “woah- buddy, you sunburned?” dean says, putting a hand on castiels shoulder “…sunburned? i didnt..the sun didnt burn me. i didnt touch it..id probably explode if i did.” “no, dumbass. when youre out in the sun too long ya get..well, sunburned!” dean says “fuck..i cant believe you’re so stupid.” deean mumbles to himself. cas goes quiet.
im stupid..? castiel thinks to himself.- he could dissapear right now just to go cry about this. he doesnt usually..feel like this. even when hes low on grace like he is now, he doesnt feel this way. its..just dean. dean makes him feel like this.— “bud? you alright there?” dean says worriedly, more than usual “im..okay. can we go back to the motel now? i feel tired.” dean knows cas is just a bit down, angels dont feel ‘a bit tired’. theyre either completely burnt out or super high on energy, it was just like when crowley told dean he was peeing but he was really just shooting up on human blood..
back at the motel castiels sitting on the floor..hes supposed to share a bed with dean because of the lack of beds, but hes just been terrified of being happy lately. so scared. he was debating wether or not to even come here, to be around dean.. “you gonna just..stay on the floor this whole time, cas? i mean..seems uncomfy.” sam says, walking over to cas and crouching down “…you seem kinda down. is it dean? like..the women hes been flirting with..?” sam is the only one whos knows that castiels queer and likes dean. nobody else knows, not even jack..or jody..not claire— proably claire. the moment before castiel saw dean, he took off his vessels wedding ring..just incase the man he gripped tight and raised from perdition was single.— “im..okay. it isnt dean..” castiels voice cracks “okay..just- tell me if anything happens between you two, okay?? ill be a wingman for you, man.” sam smiles and pats castiels shoulder before walking away “cas! come up here, im missin your feathered ass.” dean says before patting the bed. castiel nervously gets onto the bed and takes off his shirt for more room for his wings. “woahh..cool” dean says before feeling up some of the feathers “thank you, dean.” castiel says before laying back and snuggling up into the blankets “hey dont fuckin hog the blankets..not making the first time we share a bed a shitty experience..” gosh..cas has a sunburn- not horrible but. hes shedding skin like a snake.. “dean. my skin feels..weird” cas says, itching at his back “yeah. i wonder why man..ill get you some after-sun stuff at CVS, okay?” dean says before..touching cas. his waist..just touching him. “dean what are you dong..?” cas sleepy grumbles. “n-nothing..cas” dean pulls a hand away and scratches the back of his head— meanwhile, jacks sitting on a seperate bed with sam watching dean and cas “..sam? are they married?” jack whispers “..no- jack..” sam laughs “they arent married..but they probably will be in the next 3 years.”
castiel ends up with his wings wrapped around deans body, spooning him. obviously, deans little spoon..cas has his hands on deans torso and his face rested on deans shoulder. he doesnt sleep so he just watches over dean for hours and hours while he sleeps.
