Castiel stares at Sam. "So... how do you suggest I'm to keep Dean distracted?"

Sam has just come to him asking if he can distract Dean for the next few hours while he and Eileen go out to get a Christmas tree. But Castiel isn't entirely sure how Sam is wanting him to distract Dean.

"However you choose to distract him doesn't matter, Cas." Sam says. "I just need him to be distracted long enough for Eileen and I to go out and get a tree, then get it all set up in the library."

Castiel sighs. That doesn't give him much of an idea of how to distract him. He guesses that he could always keep him occupied with sex much like last time, but... he'd rather do something else instead. Not that he doesn't enjoy having sex with Dean, he'd just prefer to go a different route.

What this different route may be though, he's not sure. But he's sure he can manage to come up with something. Maybe they can hang out in what Dean likes to call the "Dean Cave" and watch a movie or play a video game or something.

"You know, leaving a tree in the library will be in full view of Dean, Sam." Castiel says. "He's going to see i as soon as he walks into the library."

He's not sure it would be a good idea to leave a Christmas tree in full view of Dean. Who knows what he may end up doing in order to get rid of it? Especially when he doesn't want any Christmas decorations up, and Castiel is assuming that means a Christmas tree too.

"You better not be planning on putting any Christmas shit up, Sammy." Dean says as he walks into the room, causing both Sam and Castiel to halt their conversation.

Castiel can't say that he's surprised that Dean's decided to come in right this second. He knew Dean would come in right at this very moment as they're discussing something Christmas related.

"I uh... nope." Sam says, before he's quick to change the subject as he sees Dean carrying his laptop. "What you got there?"

Dean looks between Sam and Castiel, before down at his laptop. "I found us a case about three towns over." He says. "Thought we should go check it out."

"Uh, maybe you and Cas can go check it out?" Sam suggests.

Castiel looks from Sam to Dean. He supposes that going out on a hunt with Dean will work in keeping him occupied for the next few days. And from the look Sam sends him, he seems to think so too.

"I can go with you, Dean." He says. "Let Sam sit this one out."

Dean narrows his eyes at his brother and angel. He has a very strong feeling he knows why they've made this suggestion, but he doesn't make a comment about it, besides, going hunting with just Castiel doesn't sound so bad. Although Castiel may not quite understand a lot of human things still, but he's getting there. At least he's a lot better at understanding them now than he ever was when they first met.

"Alright." He nods, looking over at Castiel. "Come on, Cas."

Nodding, Castiel follows Dean to their room, finding that Dean has more or less packed everything he'll need for this hunt already.

"So what's this case you've found?" He asks, picking up Dean's laptop from where he's set it down on the bed and reads through the article he has opened up.

The article details the findings of multiple dead bodies scattered across town. All of them drained of their blood. Sounds like vampires.

"Appears to be a nest of vampires." Dean says. "Shouldn't take us too long to take care of."

He looks over at Castiel, finding the angel reading through the article as he sits on the edge of the bed. And he can't help but stare at him for longer than necessary. There's just something about the way that Castiel squints his eyes a little as he reads what's on the laptop screen that he finds adorable.

He's unsure of when it happened - it's quite possible he realized he was in love with Castiel back when they were stuck in purgatory - but he's found himself madly in love with the angel with the blue eyes and dirty trench coat. And he doesn't regret a single moment he's shared with the angel since they had finally confessed their love for one another.

"You do have everything we'll need packed, right?" Castiel asks, not taking his eyes away from the screen of the laptop.

He suspects that Dean already has, but it doesn't hurt to ask just in case he's managed to forget something.

"Yup." Dean says, slipping on a jacket. "Fake badges, guns, knives, change of clothes, money for burgers, beer, and pie..." He lists off everything he's packed that they'll need. "It's all packet, Cas."

They've still got other stuff in the trunk of the Impala if they haven't packed enough. Baby is always packed and ready to go gank some monsters.

Castiel nods, closing the laptop and setting it back on the bed next to him. "Good." He says. "Then I guess we should get going now."

"That we should." Dean nods, slinging his duffel bag with everything they'll need over his shoulder after putting his laptop in the bag too. "Come on."

He wraps an arm around Castiel's shoulders as they make their way out of their room and off towards where the Impala is waiting for them in the garage after they say a quick goodbye to everyone else in the bunker.

Then they're off on their way to go gank some vampires.
