A Very Merry Christmas In The Bunker || Destiel ✔

Chapter 5

Castiel watches as Dean dries off after their shower. He should be drying off himself, but he just can't help but watch Dean. he's deeply infatuated by Dean Winchester, and he doesn't regret it for a second. It doesn't help that Dean is very attractive - which can be a bit of an issue at times....

"You just gonna stand there staring, Cas? Or are you gonna get dressed?" Dean asks, catching his angel's eyes on him.

Truthfully, he doesn't mind it when Castiel stares, but they've got something else that needs to be done instead of staring at each other in the showers. They need to make some food, cause he's hungry.

And he's still got to have a word with Sam about those Christmas decorations he bought when he specifically said not to.

Castiel feels his cheeks heat up a little in embarrassment at being caught staring, and he turns around to finish drying himself off then gets dressed.

Dean chuckles at the angel, shaking his head. He finds it cute when Castiel gets like that.

This time, it's Dean's turn to stare as Castiel gets dressed into a pair of jeans, an old Led Zeppelin shirt of his and a faded blue plaid flannel - also of Dean's much like the shirt - instead of his normal attire. And something about Castiel wearing his clothes makes Dean's heart flutter.

Castiel has been wearing more of his clothes lately instead of his own. Dean's not sure why, he's never bothered to ask. But he loves it.

"Looking good, Cas." Dean says, slipping his shirt down over his head. "Gotta admit, you look good in my clothes."

Castiel doesn't say anything in reply, but he does smile at Dean's words. He's not sure why he's been wearing Dean's clothes lately, but Dean seems to like it, so that seems like a good enough reason to keep wearing Dean' clothes more often. And he rather likes wearing Dean's clothes too.

Dean makes his way over to Castiel, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "Come on. Let's go make some food." He says. "You promised you'd attempt to make burgers."

He's not sure how well Castiel making food will go down, but he's curious to see how it goes. And burgers sound like they might be the easiest for him to make, granted he doesn't under cook the patties or burn them. But it's the thought that counts.

"Should we make some for the others too, or are we making them just for you?" Castiel asks, as they begin walking down the hall towards the kitchen.

Dean shrugs. "Whatever you want, Cas."

Castiel raises an eyebrow at him. That wasn't exactly the answer he was hoping for, and it didn't really give him an indication of what he should do... technically.

"I guess I'll just ask them if they're hungry then." He says. "Which means we need to turn back and check with Jack and your mother."

"Or we can just cook a bunch of patties and if anyone's hungry they can make a burger or two themselves." Dean suggests. "I think that's the easiest way to go."

Castiel nods, guessing that that is the easiest way to go just like Dean said. "Okay."

"I still need to talk with Sam and Eileen first." Dean says, as they head towards the kitchen.

He needs to have a word with them for buying Christmas decorations when he had told them not to. They went behind his back and bought them anyway, and he's not happy about it.

"Dean..." Castiel sighs. "There's nothing wrong with them wanting to decorate the bunker for Christmas."

"I don't care." Dean says. "They went behind my back and bought them when I told them not to."

"It's not like you haven't done stuff behind Sam's back before, Dean." Castiel says. "In fact, that's rather a fairly big Winchester trait."

Well, Castiel isn't exactly wrong there and Dean knows it. Although, he's not going to admit it out loud. Hell no is he going to be admitting it.

Instead, he chooses to not say anything as they walk into the bunker's library, where Sam and Eileen are still seated. And Castiel knows exactly what's about to go down between the two Winchester brothers, and there's not much he can do to stop it....

"Hey, Sammy." Dean says, taking the seat directly across from him. "We need to have a talk about what you and your girlfriend did when I told you not to."

Sighing, Castiel shakes his head as he takes a seat next to Dean. He doesn't particularly want to be here while Dean argues with Sam, but it might be best if he stays in case he needs to separate the two brothers for any reason.

"Dean, come on...." Sam sighs. "This will be our first Christmas with Jack and mom. What's so wrong about decorating the bunker as well as celebrating?"

"Nothing." Dean says. "But I told you I don't want the bunker decorated in a bunch of Christmas shit, Sam! You went behind my back and bought decorations when I told you not to!"

Sam stares at Dean. While Dean may be right, it's not like he hasn't gone and done worse behind his back before. And it's not like Christmas decorations will kill anyone.

"You've gone behind my back and done worse shit before, Dean! Need I remind you about Gadreel?" He says. "Or the time you made a deal with a demon in order to bring me back?" He recalls. He prefers not to bring those up, but he's trying to make a point here. "Eileen and I going out to buy Christmas decorations behind your back isn't even close to being as big a deal to anything else we've done behind each other's backs."

Castiel has to agree with Sam there. Going behind Dean's back to buy Christmas decorations to decorate the bunker is nowhere near as big a deal to anything else they've pulled. It's like the least serious thing they could ever think of doing behind each other's backs. Dean's just making too big a deal out of this.

"Dean..." He sighs. "I think you're making too big a deal out of this."

"Stay out of this, Cas!" Dean says, putting a hand up in front of Castiel, indicating him to stop talking, "Sam. While what you say may be true, you still went behind my back when I said no to decorations."

"Why are you so against decorating the bunker for Christmas, Dean?" Sam asks.

"I jus- I just am, okay!" Dean says. "If you and Eileen want to decorate your room, fine. But you're not... you're not decorating any other part of the bunker!"

As Castiel watches Dean, he notices what appears to be a bit of uncertainty and hesitation in the tone of his voice. Almost like he's unsure of why he's against decorating the bunker. Though he doesn't comment on it.

"Dean, everyone else is on board with it." Sam says. "Why should we all not do it just because you don't want to?"

What Sam is saying is right. Why should they not decorate just because Dean doesn't want to? How's that fair to the rest of them that want to decorate the bunker? If Dean doesn't like that they want to decorate, then he's just got to deal with it. It's not like they'll be keeping any of the decorations up after Christmas is over after all.

Castiel sighs in frustration as he looks between the brothers. He's rather used to the brother's squabbling by now, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating when they do argue over something. Even when it's something that's really not that big of a deal.

He looks over at Eileen - who's not said a word this entire time - to find her not paying attention to the Winchester's arguing as she stays buried in her book. Castiel isn't sure if that's because she just can't hear what they're saying, or if she doesn't want to get involved with it. He thinks it's more than likely the latter. Although her not hearing them is true, but he's sure that she knows what they're arguing over.

Getting up, Castiel looks to Dean. "Dean, just drop it." He says, grabbing onto Dean's arm. He's had enough of this.... "Come on, or else I'm not making you food."

Dean goes to protest, but decides against it, not wanting to risk not getting food.

"Fine." He sighs, getting up and heading off towards the kitchen. He's not happy about it of course, but... he'll just deal with it later.

Castiel nods, relieved that Dean's agreed to drop it for now. He turns to Sam, giving him an apologetic look, before he's following Dean into the kitchen.
