Chapter Text
Saturday morning
"So Dean, what's up?" Sammy asked as Dean handed him his cereal.
"Work yesterday was interesting- to say the least." Dean scoffed. All on his mind from work last night up until now was the boy with messy hair and bright blue eyes, Castiel. He stood out to Dean. The awkward smiles exchanged, and just how easily their conversation was to go throughout.
"Well, you have work again today, and you know how interesting every Saturday is. As for me, I'll be with my friends today, in case you were wondering." Sam said.
"Don't have too much fun while you're there kiddo." Dean said as he walked into the bathroom.
After Dean's shower, he realized that he had planned out the entire day in his head, including multiple scenarios where Castiel walked in to his work. Was he really thinking too much about this?
Noon~
In the car, Dean took the usual route to work, and traffic was surprisingly not that busy. As for music in the car, he decided to go with Led Zeppelin for music today. He sang along, as per usual.
"..Realize sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part.."
As he approached a red light, he looked around him. Dean always enjoyed a nice day that wasn't unbearably cold or rainy. He had to do a double-take though, he'd notice a familiar looking car. A 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, to be exact. It was Castiel, with his windows down waiting for the light to change. Dean rolled down his window as well, why not say hi to Cas? He slightly turned down his music.
"Hey!- Castiel!" He shouted out his window. Castiel turned his head, and laughed, cheeks turning slightly pink.
"Dean! Hi there!" Castiel said as he waved.
"What's up? I'm on my way to work right now." Dean said, checking if the light had turned. "Where are you headed?"
"Um well I was actually on my way to see yo-" Castiel cleared his throat. "I was going to go get some food or something." He giggled. "Is that Zeppelin you're listening to?"
"Yeah, you like them?" Dean asked
"But the wind won't blow.." Castiel sang.
"You really shouldn't go.." Dean sang back, smiling at Cas. "It only goes to show.."
"That you will be mine... By taking our time" The two finished the line together. Castiel laughed as Dean turned down the music.
Dean noticed that they were going the same way, so he eventually ended up turning the music back up, occasionally looking over at Cas in the other lane who was smiling. Dean was a few minutes late, which he didn't mind. He ended up getting Cas to walk into work with him, which Cas was going to his work anyway, but it was easier if Dean didn't know that.
"Dean!" Balthazar said, looking up from what he was writing down. "Glad you're here--" He paused. "And with him" He raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, we were both heading this way so I thought 'why not?' You know?" Dean said scoffing, and scratching his head.
"Well, anyway, you know the drill. Get to the back and fix things because that's what we do. Boss said we might be able to get off a little early today." Balthazar said.
Cas had really not expected to see Dean on the road on the way to go see him, he'd especially not expected to sing along to Led Zeppelin song with him on the road. He had a free day today, and he thought that he might as well go see Dean, he enjoyed his presence. And really Castiel didn't have too much of a problem watching Dean come out of the back with slightly sweaty and very toned muscles.
~
As it hit about 2pm, there was really no one at the shop. Except Cas and the people who worked there. He'd sat there that whole entire two hours, chatting with Dean when he could, exchanging witty comments or just asking a simple "How are you?" when he could. Dean walked out of the back room, and looked up at Cas after wiping his forehead.
"Boss said I could go home now, so mystery boy," Dean scoffed. "If you want to go get food or something- we can do that."
"Yeah, I'm fine with that Idea." Cas said, sounding almost surprised.
"Well, I have to go home and clean up since-" He moved his arms to present himself. "I'm in my work uniform and I'm kind of covered in some oil and sweat." He wiped his hands on his pant legs.
"So do you want to meet up somewhere afterwards?" Cas asked, standing up.
"Oh, c'mon. I can pick you up, I'm a gentleman." Dean said, winking afterwards.
"Sounds like a date then," Cas said, going along with the joke that was only between them. The two started heading out the door. Dean opened the door for Cas.
"Indeed a gentleman." Cas smiled. You really couldn't tell this was a joke if you were just someone observing. They started walking to their cars.
"Oh, yeah!" Dean said turning around. "If I'm going to be picking you up I'm gonna need a phone number-" He looked up at Cas, who's cheeks were slightly flushed pink. "And your address, Cas." He smiled.
"Yeah, um, I'll put that in your phone then." Cas replied.
~
Dean was at home getting ready, and something hit him. For the first time in a long time since he met Charlie, he'd made a good friend. One that he expected to keep for a long time. From what he had learned from being around Cas and talking to him so far, Cas was funny, caring, and still quite awkward in conversation, which Dean didn't mind at all. He actually liked it.
Dean had decided to go with a maroon button up shirt today, that Jo convinced him to buy a month ago.
"Dean! You have to buy this, I never see you in red." Jo said.
"And plus chicks dig guys in red-" Charlie said. "Well, at least I think they do."
Dean was going to be on his way to Cas's house soon, which meant he had to text him.
Dean: Hey, Cas, it's Dean. I'll be on my way soon so put on your shoes and stuff like that.
Cas: Gotcha, how long until you get here?
Dean: About ten minutes, don't worry I won't take too long :)
Dean put on his boots, walked out his house and locked the door. The ride there was peaceful, Cas lived in a quiet neighborhood, unlike Cas's house that was always filled with yelling during weekdays. It was still nice outside, though it had gotten a little bit chilly out. When Dean pulled up, Cas looked up and smiled.
"You look nice, Dean." Castiel said as he opened the car door.
"Thanks, thought I might try to look nice since all you've ever seen me in is my work uniform." Dean scoffed.
"So where do you want to go? I'm honestly not that hungry." Cas said.
"Well- we could go to my place, I have movies--and I have a pretty nice stereo system if you want to hang out and listen to music or something." Dean's suggestion was bold, Cas was just a friend, but it seemed harder to ask him things than it normally would.
"Sounds like a plan. Let's go." Cas didn't hesitate with his answer. He seemed enthusiastic.
Dean started up his car, and on the way there, Cas went through his tapes and CD's.
"Anything you like-other than Zeppelin. Some of these are my dad's and well I dig it so I listen to it. I grew up on this stuff." Dean said looking over at Cas who was looking at the CD's with an eyebrow raised.
"It's very good music--" Cas said as he flipped to another CD. "I like it." He looked up at Dean and smiled.
"Well here we are, Mr. Novak." He laughed. "Where all of the Winchester magic happens." Dean said as Cas let out a scoff, and he thought to himself that Dean's house was quite small- quaint.
"Me, my little brother Sammy, and my-- kind of dad Bobby live here." Dean said as he unlocked the door. Cas noticed a brown couch and a TV. Dean showed him the bathroom, living-room, kitchen, and his room. Dean used hand gestures as he showed him every room as if he was presenting a prize he'd won.
"So, I have movies that we can watch, you should pick-- guests choice." Dean said, scratching his head. He handed Cas a stack of movies.
"A walk to remember? Yeah, I like this one." Cas said, looking at Dean.
Dean put in the movie, and it was a good one, though Dean and Cas wouldn't really know that. They spent the majority of the movie looking at each other.
~
The movie ended, and Dean and Cas had fallen asleep on each other. They didn't realize that they had slept was past the movie ending. It was about 6pm. Castiel woke up, seeing Dean asleep on his shoulder.
"Dean?" He said, wiggling Dean's shoulder.
Dean made a groaning noise that was slowly cut off because he'd realized where he was laying, on Cas's shoulder.
"It's 6:00. I can stay the night here if you'd like, I have nothing to do later." Cas said.
"Yeah, do that, I like sleeping on your shoulder." Dean said, laughing.
Dean got up a few minutes later to go change into sweatpants and he came back with a pair that he handed Castiel, they were a little big on Cas, which he didn't mind.
~ two hours later
"So you really only moved here a few weeks ago?" Dean asked Cas.
"Yeah, and we go to the same school I'm pretty sure. We're in the same grade too." Cas replied.
The night went on, the two getting to know each other well, and so well they ended up sleeping in Dean's bed together. Cas's legs intertwined with Dean's perfectly, and there was half asleep conversation going on until the two fell asleep.
