After spending the afternoon explaining to Cas how to fill out a job application, Dean was exhausted. On the other hand, Cas was practically bouncing off the walls.

"Okay, okay, which one sounds better? 'How are you?' Or 'how are you?'" Cas asked Dean, eagerly waiting for his opinion.

Dean pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers. "They-they literally sound exactly the same, Cas."

"Oh," Cas pouted, furrowing his eyebrows. "Well... What about, ''may I help you?' Or 'what can I do for you today?'"

Dean squeezed his eyes shut and opened them at Cas. This kid...

"They both sound good."

"But did you see my facial expression?" Cas asked, determined to find the best greeting.

"Cas, I'm not gonna lie but don't you think this is kind of... unnecessary?" Dean asked, raising an eyebrow. He understood that Cas was just excited about getting a job, but c'mon.

Cas frowned. "Well, maybe. I'm not sure. I've never had a human job before. I've only seen it on TV."

Dean chuckled realizing how innocent Cas was. He didn't know any better because this is all knew to him. Dean stood up from the couch and stretched his arms. He had an idea.

Dean glanced over at Cas with wide eyes. He wasn't feeling so tried anymore. "I think we should go somewhere. Let's do something."

Cas tilted his head and walked over to Dean. "Okay... like what?"

Dean pursed his lips and gave Cas a sly smile. "It's a surprise— but you're gonna love it."

He smiled back. "Okay, I trust you."

Dean smiled a big toothy grin and planted a kiss on Cas's lips. "Lets go!"

===========================

"Why are you putting a blind fold on me?" Cas asked, frowning as Dean folded up t-shirt to put over Cas's eyes.

"So you can't see the surprise," Dean explained. "Now hold still."

Dean carefully tied on the makeshift blindfold, making sure it wasn't too tight.

"I don't like this."

"Cas, just... please stop fidgeting."

"What if I trip and fall? What if something happens and I can't see it because you blindfolded me?"

"If you keep talking I'm gonna have to kiss you so you shut up."

"..."

"Aw c'mon, don't be like that."

"I just don't understand why—"

Dean leaned forward and gently kissed Cas, causing Cas to jump in surprise. He was stubborn at first, but Cas eventually warmed up the kiss. Dean felt along Cas's jaw line with his fingers, his other hand falling to his hip. Dean's breath hitched when Cas nibbled his bottom lip.

"Is this the surprise?" Cas whispered, pulling away slightly.

Dean leaned his forehead against Cas. "No... but this can be the after surprise."

"Then it's not a surprise anymore since I know what it is," Cas pointed out.

Dean paused. "Just— c'mon. Time for the real surprise."
