Supernatural Imagines

Castiel x Reader: Baking

Anon request: Can you do an imagine where the reader is trying to teach cas to be like a human and it ends with lots of fluff and cuddles? It would make my day :) xx

One thing you had noticed since Castiel had become human was that he wasn't really getting the hang of many things, for example even brushing his teeth had caused no end of trouble. He had thought it would be a good idea to squeeze half of the tube of toothpaste onto the brush and then proceed to stick it in his mouth and chew it. Something had snapped inside your mind after you witnessed this, and you decided to help him become a little more human.

"Hey Cas, wotcha' doin'?" you were perched precariously on the kitchen worktops in the bunker, swinging your legs and smiling up at Castiel. "Good afternoon Y/N, I was just trying to turn the...er oven on." You tried to muffle the laughter that was rising in your chest as you observed him poking several buttons on the oven's control pad, resulting in a shrill loud beeping sound erupting from it. Castiel jumped back, "Y/N is it supposed to do that?"
You shrugged in reply and jumped down from the worktop, "Never heard it do that before, I think you may have set the stop-clock off Cas, ya' silly." Cas just looked at you blankly for a few seconds, before letting his shoulders drop and a defeated expression taking over his features. "Being human is... Is very hard." Your expression softened and you walked over to him, gently placing your palm on his cheek, rubbing the pad of your thumb over his coarse stubble. "I'll help you Cas don't worry."

About ten minutes later, you and Castiel had decided to make a pie for Dean. Both Sam and Dean had been out all night hunting a nest of vampires, obviously they hadn't let you go. As Dean put it you were left to 'babysit Castiel'.

It had gone well up until trying to make the pastry for the base. Flour had gone absolutely everywhere, not to mention all over you and Cas. You had sat and laughed for well over five minutes at the puzzled expression on Cas' face as he tried to get rid of the flour, only it resulted in getting even more spread within his hair. Pulling him over to you by his tie, you gently began to wipe the flour off of his face with a wet towel. When you had finished, you placed a small kiss on his nose and shot him a completely goofy grin. "There ya' go would you look at that, beautiful Castiel is back."
"You think I'm beautiful Y/N?"
A blush blossomed over your cheeks, "Maybe."
Cas tried to copy the goofy grin you had given him a few seconds ago and leaned over to kiss you chastely on the lips. "Dean said I should kiss you if I think you look pretty."
"Oh did he now?"
Cas just nodded, not looking you directly in the eye.

The rest of your afternoon was spent by his side, occasionally bumping hips and smiling warmly at each other. It was clear Cas was trying very hard to impress you and not mess up in any way, which made you fall a little more in love with him by the second. When the pie was finally in the oven you turned to him, your hand outstretched ready to high-five him. You giggled at his response which was to take your hand in his and press his lips to it. "Castiel you are quite the gentleman." you wanted to just burst out into peals of laughter at the utter silliness that had surrounded today. It was something neither of you ever got to experience, tranquility just wasn't a feature of a hunters life. So maybe doing a trivial activity such as baking would help Cas to become more human than he realized.

When Dean and Sam returned a few hours later, they found you wrapped up in Castiel's embrace, a hushed silence filling the bunker. The pie was neatly presented on the table and a bowl of salad stood by its side. You shifted in Cas' arms, peppering his neck and jawline with small kisses. He opened his eyes bambi wide and shot you a lopsided smile of content that nearly made you melt right there. "If I have you Y/N, perhaps being human isn't so bad after all."
