"Happy one year Dean."

"Holy shit Cas." Dean's mouth was agape in shock and his eyes filled with adoration and love.

"Too much?" Cas' nails found their way to his palms and dug in deep. Dean rushed over to Cas and took his abused hands in his own tan ones.

"I don't deserve this Cas, I really don't." Dean gushed, rubbing circles onto his soulmates wrists.

"You deserve this and more my love." Cas murmured, pushing Dean's chin up with his own head and nuzzling into the muscled chest.

"I love you so much Castiel Novak, so so so so goddamn much."

"I love you as well Dean Winchester. More than words can say."

Gently leading Dean by the tips of his fingers to the table, he pulled out the red cushioned chair. Dean gratefully sat down, immediately serving himself heaping piles of pasta doused in cream sauce, seeking the mushroom and pancetta pieces. Scooping up the delicious meal he shovelled it into his mouth at an alarming pace.

"Goodness, slow down love, you'll get indigestion." Cas laughed, serving himself. Dean only moaned in response and continued eating.

Dinner went on and was filled with jovial conversation and proclamations of love for Cas and his cooking. The pie was then cut, a sweet aroma filling the air and the topic of conversation changed abruptly at Cas' hand.

"Let's move in together." He blurted out. Dean choked on the cherry filling.

"I mean, move out of here. Get a flat or something. Our own place." Cas added hastily. A coughing Dean gulped down some water and started at Cas. The onyx haired boy bit his nectarine lip nervously.

"Dean? Sweetpea?" Cas prompted after a few moments passed.

"Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, let's move out and then in together, yes, yes I would very much like that." The emerald-eyed boy managed to get out before rising from his chair, stumbling over to his soulmates side.

He wrapped him in the most loving embrace he possibly could, knowing the moving into together was Cas' ultimate way to show he trusted Dean. For now at least. The ring he'd seen when out getting food burned in the back of Dean's mind.

A few months later

"Alright, that's everything. Thanks guys!" Cas smiled happily at Sam and Gabe as he unpacked the last box.

"Just returning the favour Cassie." Gabe replied, easily using the childhood nickname he'd given his little brother.

"Yeah, how's living together life treating ya Sammy?" Dean chimed in, clapping Sam on the back. Sam rolled his eyes at the name before smiling warmly at Gabe, love flowing from every pore on his body.

"Aboustley incredibly." Sam gushed. Gabriel smiled and blushed slightly.

"Until he forgets to do the laundry."  Sam added with a chuckle.

"Yeah, the couch is not comfy." Gabe reminisced. Sam wrapped him in a warm hug and Gabe smiled wider, going up on tiptoes to press a kiss to Sam's waiting lips.

"Alright love birds, out you get." Dan laughed at his brother's happiness and shooed the two out.

"So first night in the new place." Dean smirked, pulling Cas in for a heated kiss. Cas returned it gleefully before pulling away. Dean whined and chased Cas' lips, trying to recapture them, craving more.
