Summary:
With his loving family, presents, and birthday pie in one room and a certain piece of jewellery in arms reach - Dean Winchester is going to have a VERY eventful first day of being 43.
-
You best believe that Dean is not the type of guy to listen to music that wasn't made when he was a kid - if it weren't for something special.
An instrumental song plays that he barely recognises through the radio in their bedroom. Cas walks through the door and grabs for his hand.
"I like the song." Dean comments as he gets dragged to his feet.
Cas chuckles. "Well, I would hope so. This was our wedding song."
The former angel starts to lead in a slow dance - possibly a reenactment of their so-called first dance.
"Did we? Well, Mr Winchester, why the dance lessons?" Dean remarks and tightens his grip just a little on his husband's waist.
"Sam and Eileen went to a hotel for the night. So we can take our sweet time - without locking the door." Cas explains with a smirk growing on his face.
"Lead the way, Mr Winchester."
"Believe me, Mr Winchester..." Cas starts to push Dean towards the bed. "I will."
-
While Dean is asleep, Sam and Cas set up the kitchen filled with Dean's favourite foods.
"Sam," Cas starts. "Do you think Dean will be mad at us for waking him up on his birthday?"
The youngest Winchester smiles at his friend. "We made him food. If he does get mad, he'll come around once he sees all this." Sam gestures to the kitchen with a grin.
"Let's test your theory." Cas replies, and they go to wake the birthday boy.
-
Cas crawls on top of him and starts to suck at his jawline, gaining a surprised gasp out of Dean.
"I thought you said we can take our time Angel?" Dean teases.
"Wha-" Cas kisses the words from Dean's lips which turns into a heavy make-out session.
Dean sinks further into the pillows and grips onto Cas' shirt to take it off as soon as possible.
-
When Cas and Sam enter his room, Dean is fast asleep on his back and facing the bedroom door with a slight smile on his face.
While Sam waits in the doorway, Cas goes up to Dean's side of the bed and shakes his shoulder.
"Dean."
The only reaction they get is a slight hum.
Cas repeats his name a bit louder and shakes Dean's shoulder again.
Sam clears his throat and announces that he will wait for them in the kitchen.
The former angel takes the opportunity to climb onto his own side of the bed - now long gone cold - and rest his head on Dean's shoulder while starting to run his fingers along the freckles that he can see.
A few moments later, Dean starts to stir and curls into Cas' warmth.
"Morning sleepyhead." Dean answers with a groan and stretches.
"What time is it?" He grumbles and starts to run his fingers along his boyfriends left hand.
"It's time to get up, honey." Cas answers.
"I was enjoying my dream." The older hunter complains.
Once Dean touches Cas' ring finger, he freezes and his eyes fly open.
"What's wrong?"
Dean goes to look into the sea of blue he's grown to love so much and sees a hint of worry.
So now I'm dreaming of him being my husband? Dean thinks.
"Nothing, angel." As further reassurance, he kisses his boyfriend and starts to get out of bed.
Cas leads Dean out of the bedroom, and he notices a trail of balloons hung up on the walls leading to the kitchen.
"Who's all these balloons for, I wonder," Dean smirks.
The kitchen bench is filled with multiple plates of pancakes, eggs, and of course, bacon. Unbeknownst to Dean, a homebaked apple pie sits in the oven for later.
Sam smiles up at his brother. "We heard it's someone's birthday."
They both wish him a happy birthday and place their presents in front of Dean once he sits at the table. Sam must've taught Cas how to neatly wrap a gift because they look almost identical.
The presents from his brother include both a cookbook and baking recipes.
Castiel decided to surprise him with a bathrobe covered with hotdogs and hamburgers to match his hotdog pants.
Before today, Dean insisted that he didn't want big and expensive presents, so he is thrilled Sam and Cas didn't go to great lengths, especially if it's something he wouldn't use at all.
"Thank you so much, guys." Dean beams at the two.
"Now for the best bit," Sam announces as Cas walks over to open the oven and pull out the pie tin.
The older Winchester smells it immediately and sees the golden brown crust as it comes towards him.
"We both helped make this for you and have yet to try it." Cas explains.
"Well, the birthday boy obviously gets the first piece," Dean states as he grabs a fork and immediately digs into the tray.
Cas and Sam share a look of amusement and each grab a fork as well.
Dean doesn't bother to hide his moan as he shovels the food into his mouth.
"It's good, I'm guessing." Sam laughs.
With a full mouth, Dean replies: "You have no idea."
-
Once all three are filled with pie, they relocate to the Dean Cave to spend the day watching Dean's picks of movies.
"I'm just going to get something." Dean decides and walks back to his room.
It's time, Dean thinks.
He and Cas were dancing around each other for over a decade, and all it took was one love confession before the angel was sent to The Empty.
As soon as the Winchesters rescued Cas, The Righteous Man and the Fallen Angel declared their love and started dating.
It's only been a few months, but he's known long enough that Cas is it for him.
He opens his bedside table and grabs the small black box hidden in the corner.
Dean is a bit embarrassed about how long he's had the ring in his possession, but he knew it was made for Castiel as soon as he saw the blue gem in the jewellery shop.
A muffled voice comes through the closed door.
"Are you coming, Honey?"
"Coming now!' Dean replies and shoves the box into his pocket.
Maybe his dream will become a reality sooner than he thought...
