I finished eating before Jensen so I put my dishes away and started to wash all of the dirty ones. 

Jensen had finished moments later and walked over, putting his dishes where I could wash them. 

"You didn't have to." 

I looked up at him and gave him a smile before turning back to the plate that I was washing. I shrugged. 

"Well, I wanted to. It was my chore before and I'm used to it. In fact, I know this sounds weird, but I kinda enjoy it." 

As he listened he walked over to my other side and took the dishes from me rinsing them off and sitting them on the rack to dry. With him helping, the work got done twice as fast. 

Well, it should've, if it wouldn't have been for fact that we had a fight. 

A bubble fight, that is. 

I had accidentally gotten bubbles on his arm as I handed him a dish. He smirked before dipping his hand into the bubbles and putting some on my arms as well. 

I just couldn't let that go, so I grabbed more bubbles and put them on his face. 

A bubble war ensued. 

He threw bubbles at me, most of them landing in my hair. I pushed more into his face. 

We were laughing and running around the kitchen hurling bubbles at each other. 

At one point a whole handful of bubbles landed in my mouth. I immediately spit them back out and leaned over, trying to get the terrible taste out of my mouth. 

Jensen, of course, decided to roll around on the floor and laugh instead of trying to help me. 

Only after taking a soda out of the fridge a gulping down like half of it, was I able to get the taste out. 

Jensen was still on the floor laughing, surrounded by bubbles. I walked over and lightly kicked him. He stopped laughing and jumped up, effectively slipping on the bubbles. He landed with a hard thud and groaned in pain. 

I was about to ask him if he was okay before he started to laugh. Knowing that he was okay I started to laugh as well. As I laughed I had almost slipped as well but caught myself in time. 

The laughter eventually died down and we finished washing the rest of the dishes. Jensen sent me to take a shower while he cleaned up the mess. 

I washed my hair in a strange way, trying not to get any of the bubbles in my eyes. I knew that it would hurt like hell if I did. Luckily, I managed to get it all out without injury. 

I got out feeling refreshed and walked to my temporary room. I dried off and changed into my pj's for the night. 

I headed out into the kitchen to see Jensen just finishing up. I helped him with the very last of it and he headed to the bathroom to take a shower as well. I watched him walk to the bathroom and close the door. I listened as the shower turned on before sitting down on the couch. 

I grabbed the TV remote and turned on the TV. I scoured the channels hoping to come across something good to watch. I brainlessly flipped from channel to channel before something caught my eyes. 

Days of Our Lives. 

Woah. 

I immediately clicked on it and watched as a young Jensen popped on the screen. I watched it diligently, trying to figure out what was going on. 

This was the first episode I had ever even seen, so I had no idea what was going on. 

The person Jensen was playing was currently having a picnic with a girl. I hadn't even learned their names when I heard the shower turn off and the door opened. 

I heard his footsteps and his bedroom door opening before closing again. I continued watching the show, squealing at the cuteness every so often. It was during a particularly loud squeal when he came out. 

"What's wrong with you?" 

He was trying to sound serious, but he couldn't hide his smile and then he chuckled knowing that he couldn't keep up the facade, actor that he was. I laughed but didn't answer him, too busy watching. 

He stepped completely into the living room and blushed when he saw what was on the tv. His right hand was on his hip and the other was rubbing his neck in embarrassment. He looked at the ground and I heard him mumble underneath his breath. 

"Oh God...." 

I laughed harder and smirked at him. 

"Don't you mean, 'Oh Castiel?'" 

He lightly chuckled before walking over and sitting next to me. He gently took the remote from me and changed the channel. He stopped at something that I had never seen before and after watching it for a few minutes I had decided that it was boring. 

After today's activities and watching the boring show, I found myself slowly drifting off to sleep. The TV in the background only served to help me fall asleep faster, and Jensen's body was radiating heat which didn't help. 

I knew that I should get up and head to my bedroom, but I couldn't seem to get my body to move. 

Without telling it to, my body moved closer to Jensen and I leaned on his shoulder. He looked down at me and chuckled lightly, trying not to disturb me. My eyes slid closed and my breathing had slowed, becoming more even. 

I was on the brink of sleep when I felt Jensen get up. I would've fallen over but his hand kept me upright. I felt his arm slide around to my back and his other slid underneath my legs lifting me up with ease. 

He slowly trekked to my room, not wanting to jostle me too much. What felt like seconds later he slowly lowered me onto the bed and pulled the covers over me. 

I felt his lips press against my forehead and he whispered a quiet, "Goodnight, sweetheart." 

I snuggled into the plush bed and sighed in content. 

"Thanks, dad," I whispered back. 

My eyes slowly closed as I watched him walk to my door. As he closed it my eyes fully closed and once the door was shut I was gone.
