World Of Invisible Color ((Destiel/Sabriel))

7. Waffles and Jealousy Don't Mix

// Castiel

"Cas! Cas! "

Castiel turned around and saw Dean, Gabriel and a very tall man- he guessed that was Sam- all running towards him. He shielded his face and as if on cue, Dean flung himself onto the smaller man and pulled him into a tight hug. He could see the red on everyone's faces. He could see the color of Dean's hair and the color of his brown winter jacket.

"Get a room you two." Gabriel rolled his eyes.

Dean pulled away from him and smiled widely. "Hey, Cas." He returned the smile and tried to control his blush as he was certain that Dean could see it.

"Hello, Dean. I- "

"So you're Cas?" The tallest man asked. "Dean talks a lot about you. I'm Sam." He smiled and extended his hand towards Cas. "Dean's brother."

Castiel smiled and accepted the gesture, shaking Sam's hand, holding back from telling him how much Gabriel talks about him.

"It's very nice to meet you, Sam. I'm Gabriel's brother. I see you've already met?"

Sam smiled and nodded. "Yeah. That's actually why we're here."

Cas gave them a confused look and Dean wrapped his arm around his shoulder. "We're going on a double date!" Dean said cheerfully.

Castiel's life flashed before his eyes.

"D-Double date?!" He squeaked. "I don't understand. I'm not very good at socializing and- "

"Nonsense! This is just us getting to know each other's brothers better." Dean said, wrapped his arm around his shoulders. "Besides, we socialize pretty well."

Castiel blushed at the comment and sighed, a small, visible cloud of breath escaping his mouth from the cold. "Are we going to the diner you took me?"

"What diner?" Gabriel asked, curiously. Sam turned to him and smiled.
"There's this really cool diner Dean and I go to a lot. I know some of the employees pretty well so there's also that."

"Do they give waffles?" Gabriel asked seriously. Sam nodded and Gabriel smiled widely. "I'm sold." The group laughed and began walking in the diner's direction.

Castiel watched as his brother did his best not to hold Sam's hand. He felt sorry for him. He felt selfish. He had a soulmate. His situation was working out. But Sam wasn't Gabriel's soulmate. Castiel felt so selfish. Dean moved to hold his hand and it only made Cas feel worse.

The diner wasn't too far but it was still freezing so they all walked huddled together, which meant Gabriel's shoulder was pressed against Sam's arm, which meant he could see color, which lead to him whispering things to Cas.

"Look at that sign, Cas! It's green! "

"You're scarf is orange."

"Look at the sky! It's fucking grey!  Wait...I usually see grey. But hey, I now know they sky is grey in winter."

"Have you seen Sam's eyes? Holy crap."

Castiel gave him a reassuring smile and elbowed his side if he was staring at Sam for too long.

Dean would occasionally glance at Cas and smile softly. He would hide his face in his scarf if he was caught.

"So, I see you have more than one scarf." Cas whispered. Dean looked back at him and smiled. "Yeah, Cas. I do. Why would I only have one scarf?"

Castiel tilted his head to the side in confusion. He had no scarfs- well now one- but he used to not have any. Dean's new scarf was black and had small white dots on it- like someone splattered paint on it. Cas like it a lot better than the orange one he was wearing but he assumed Dean had no idea what color it was when he first bought it.
