castiel stared at his phone ringing for a few seconds before answering, it was dean.

"cassie!"

he squints, he has never once been called 'cassie' and he does not like it.

"i don't want you to speak. well that's actually easy for you because you don't speak. but, uhm, text me after this call. crowley's party is fun. i think i'm a tad bit tipsy but i want you to come over. to my house and sleep."

dean stops talking for a bit as someone is talking to him in the background. castiel is confused as to why dean wants to see him now, at 11pm.

"i haven't seen you today and i'm having withdrawal symptoms aheh. you'll have to pick me up from c's, i'll text you the address. i also have to confess something to you but it's better if i do it in person, face to face."

never once has castiel heard dean say or text 'aheh.' other than that, he sounds perfectly fine. better than balthazar is when he's tipsy.

"i'm going to hang up now, text me though."

castiel:
why you want to see me,
i have no idea but sure

dean:
i wish u woulda
come to the pty

castiel:
not really my scene

dean:
new experiences

castiel:
it wouldn't be a 'new'
experience. i hate crowds
& it's awkward, especially
as i refuse to speak

dean:
oh, well.
no changing you i guess

castiel:
gabriel would have to
pick us up and drop us off

dean:
wait. y?

castiel:
because i'm only on
my learners permit

dean:
ohmygod, i knew that
you told me that. i'm
fucking stupid

castiel:
you're not stupid.
you're just tipsy

dean:
are you leaving now ?

castiel:
yeah

gabriel let castiel know that it was weird that dean invited him over to his house to sleep over at this time of night.

he didn't have a problem with driving him though, he was bored.

instead of going in to get dean, castiel texted him to come outside.

"it's only sam and i tonight."

he said whilst getting in the car.

it was small talk from the three of them. this would be the first interaction between gabriel and dean.

//
getting out of the car, dean leaned into cas' side. quickly, cas wrapped an around dean's waist to steady him.

"last time i was tipsy, i wasn't a falling mess. the shit i had tonight must of been stronger."

castiel didn't say anything, obviously and he couldn't write anything down. he just listened, not re-acting or responding to what dean was saying.

"you're the best cas. like you could of told me to fuck off and not came. it's just, i sorta missed you. it was weird because until now, we had no fucking contact."

castiel notes that dean is very talkative whilst tipsy and that he swears a lot.

"we can watch a movie before crashing too."

getting in the door was easy, up the stairs to dean's bedroom was harder because dean would stop walking occasionally.

castiel slightly pushed dean on the bed and then rummaged through his backpack to find his notebook.

'i'm just going to reply to everything you've said to me tonight okay? where are your parents? you smell like vodka and that's pretty strong, i've gotten drunk off it pretty easily or maybe i'm a lightweight, idk. i would never tell you to fuck off dean, unless you really pissed me off and want nothing to do with you. in regards to the movie, can we please watch the avengers?'

"uhm, fuck yes. i love the avengers and i think i told you over the phone that i had something to confess to you face to face, do you mind if we do that first?"

castiel doesn't care that dean skipped most of his questions because his confession must be important.

"sit." dean patted on the edge of the bed.

"i know i'm telling you this with alcohol in my system but i swear it's true. and only a select-few know this so you should feel special. i'm not ashamed with it so don't expect me to get emotional either and oh shit i'm blabbering. i'm bisexual and i know i told you in the library that i'm straight but we weren't as close back then, didn't know if i could trust you."

the only thing that raced through castiel's mind was that balthazar was right and wasn't lying, he owes an apology.

he nods at dean, leans closer to him and wraps his arms around him. dean buries his head in his neck.

"fuck- i don't know why i didn't trust you seeing as you wanted to the assignment on the lgbtq+ community but like i just had to know for sure."

castiel wrote nicely and neatly, it took a while.

'i'm so happy that you came out to me, dean. i'm not upset that you 'lied' to me, i get it. also, you can trust me with anything.'

dean smiles and hugs cas again. "i'll get the snacks, can you set the avengers up?"

castiel nods.

//

dean comes back with popcorn, m&m's, salt & vinegar chips, milk duds, doritos, sour worms, skittles and two beers.

castiel gives him points for providing a variety of snacks to choose from but he didn't like the beers.

'go put the beers back. you've had enough'

"one's for you though. plus i'm only tipsy."

'i'm not drinking and i want you to sober up, please just do it for me'

dean nods. "okay, i'll go get cokes, is that cool with you?"

cas nods.

//

dean was the first one to fall asleep, he fell asleep during loki's big "kneel!" & "there are no men like me." scene.

castiel survived for the whole movie even the end-credit scene. there was something about the original avengers sitting down eating shawarma that made him happy.

he fell asleep soon after that, making sure that there was a big enough gap between dean's side of the bed and his.
