Dean and Cas had been split up, as Dean was desperate for a drink. When Dean had arrived at the bar, he knew exactly what he wanted. "What will it be?" Sam asked, cleaning a cup. Dean chuckled at this. "I'll have a Christmas Mule, please. Light ice." 

"On it," the younger brother said. "I thought you'd be hiding in your room already." Dean scoffed. "Nah, there's booze. I'll be out here for a little bit longer than expected." He looked around the room. "I didn't know this many people were coming. Are they leaving tonight?" Sam nodded, placing Dean's drink in front of him. "Oh hell yeah. I planned the party. I didn't say they could all sleep here. The only ones staying are the ones that came early." Dean took a sip. "Thanks. Aren't you gonna go out there? I saw Eileen." Sam shrugged. "I don't know. I need someone to run the bar for me." Dean smiled. "I could do it. I don't have anyone waiting for me." Sam cleared his throat. "Yeah you do. Turn around."

Dean turned to see no one other than Castiel walking towards him. "Oh, Lord," he mumbled as he turned back around. "I've embarrassed myself enough in front of him today." The angel  leaned against the counter. "Can I stay here with you?" he asked. "I can't be around people I don't know for long periods of time." Cas looked worried. "Sure," Sam said, giving Dean a reassuring smile. "Dean was just about to run the bar for me, right?" Dean sighed and nodded. "See?" Sam continued. "You can do it with him! Have fun!" Sam stepped out from behind the bar, and Dean walked past him to take his place. Cas hesitated, but then Sam pushed him. "See y'all later," he said, walking away.

Dean felt like he was being targeted. Every time someone came up to order a drink, it was something with love in it. 

"I'll have some Eggnog with heart ice cubes please," Donna asked with a smile.

"Let me get a Maple Bourbon Coffee with extra creamer," Jody requested, her eyes darting to Cas then back to Dean.

"May I have some holiday punch with some pomegranate ice cubes?" Eileen asked cheerfully.

Dean groaned. "What's wrong?" Cas asked, putting his hand on Dean's forearm. "I don't wanna work at the bar anymore. I wanna go out and be with everyone else." Cas smiled. "Okay," he said, grabbing Dean's hand. "Let's go." Dean felt panic run through his body as the angel dragged him through the crowds of people. "Cas," he tried to get his attention, but it was no use. When he was finally let go of, Dean looked at Castiel, who smiled at him ear to ear. "Well," Cas said. "Isn't this what you wanted?" Dean felt his lips form a bright smile. "I wanna see you dance, Winchester!" Charlie yelled at him. Dean still felt a little bit anxious, but when he looked over to see Cas dancing like nobody was watching, he felt it all wash away. 

Dean started to dance. It felt amazing to let all the feelings in his brain just let go. Until, people started to chant. "Kiss, kiss, kiss!" Dean looked around. Everyone was looking at him and Cas. "Kiss, kiss, kiss!" The two of them looked at each other. Castiel looked up to see Dean's worst nightmare. "Dean," he said. "Look." The angel pointed to the mistletoe right above them. "Kiss, kiss, kiss!" 

"Shit," Dean said. He then looked around the room to see his brother was nowhere to be spotted. "Sam's up to this," he said to Cas. "But how do we get out of this?" Cas asked. "Everyone's looking at us."

"Kiss, kiss, kiss!"

"We give them what they want," Dean said, taking Cas's hand. They both leaned in. The feeling of butterflies that fluttered in their stomachs when their lips touched was indescribable. Everyone cheered as they pulled apart. Oh, how five seconds could tell a whole story. When the music started up again, Dean felt his brain feel all fuzzy. He began to walk away, when Castiel grabbed his arm. "Dean, are you okay? Where are you going?" 

"I'm gonna go find Sam. We need to have a word." And with that, Dean was gone, leaving the angel all by himself with people he didn't know.
