You Don't Have to be a Good Cook to Have my Heart AU

A/N I got a beautiful prompt from @Deans_pie15  and I loved writing this, I may or may not have got carried away, but enjoy :)

Dean didn't want to take off his ring but he had to. At least, if he wanted to be professional about this whole thing.

It was a symbol of his marriage for crying out loud, the actual happiest and greatest day of his life. It was about him and his husband's eternal love, as chick-flick as that sounded (and Dean really resented having those moments and thoughts). But it also was everything they'd built together, committing and forgiving and their promises made from at the Altar to late nights under the stars with lips pressed against hot skin.

But another day, another episode that needed filming and the ring Cas (his husband) chose looked just as great around a chain on his neck.

Dean smiled proudly as the silver stood out, resting on his shirt.

He ruffled his dirty blonde hair in an attempt to style it more than the post-coital hair style in front of their large mirror, finishing his overall look before his brother-in-law and co. come along to set up for this 4th season of Dean's Home Kitchen.

The reason he was using the light of his phone rather than the one available above him was that Cas was fast asleep, cuddled up into the warm and crisp sheets. And what a monster Dean would be to disturb his angel while he was so beautiful and so sleepy.

Once Dean checked himself over for the last time, he carefully stepped back into their bedroom and watched the steady rise and fall of Cas' back as he buried half of his face into Dean's pillow.

He admired the curve of his bare back before it dipped beneath the sheets and his splayed, raven hair sticking out. He was half expecting Cas to awake with a "Stop staring at me" but this morning he didn't stir.

Slowly approaching Cas, he placed the note of their filming times next to his hand as they usually did, just in case Cas interrupted anything.

Not that he ever did frequently enough for it to be a problem. Usually it was just Cas asking to get some water or coffee while they were filming.

From his first appearance (because the network actually wanted to keep those moments in the show) all social media went mad about who this man was and why him and Dean shared this beautiful kitchen together. Although Dean, after all this time and all these questions, never confirmed it, most people assumed they were together.

If Cas ever made an appearance their viewing would spike, they could even trend on Twitter like that time Cas tripped up into camera so Dean coughed on flour fumes while laughing.

Whatever the case, Cas was being teased as the nameless hottie that lived with Dean.

Gabriel had a key to the place. Dean and Cas never gave him one but somehow he did. So Dean wasn't surprised to find him on their main table sucking on a lollipop surrounded by the tech equipment.

"Morning, Dean-o! How's my favourite brother-in-law doing?"

Dean rolled his eyes. "I'm your only brother in law."

Gabe smirked, then jumped down from the counter top. "So I take it not all is happy in the sunshine and rainbow island of Cassie and Deanie, huh?"

"No, all was fine, until Father Gabriel came along." This statement was complimented by Dean's sarcastic smile.

"Good to know you're at least slipping in modern pop culture references rather than good ol' Brady Bunch crap you pull out."
