Dreamer Boys in Beanies [Destiel College AU]

The Not-A-Date Date

(Hey! It's Superwholocks13!)

(Cas' POV)

"Yeah... I-I would love that..." 

Dean. Said. Yes. 

I practically floated to the coffee shop. I knew it wasn't a date, but a guy can dream.

I finally mustered up the courage to speak to the hot, but shy nerd in front of me.

"So, Dean, where'd you come from anyway?"

"I...uhm..." Dean blushed a shade that almost matched my sketchers. "Well, Sammy and I are from Kansas, and I'm here to go to uni, but our parents are going through a pretty messy divorce, so it's hard for Sam."

I smiled. He felt safe telling me all this.

"If you ever need to talk, I'm here." I supportively swung my arm over his shoulder.

Dean blushed some more. I was making him blush. And that made me blush.

Sam and Gabe were skipping ahead of us. I knew we were all going to be very good friends.

"Hey Castiel!" Morgan Rose beamed as we walked into the doors of the coffee shop.

"I see you took my advice!" She said with a wink.

"It's Cas, and I suppose I did."

"What advice?" Dean looked up at me. Those eyes...

"Oh hon," Morgan Rose smirked at him and flipped her short hair. I giggled.

"Dean! Can I get hot chocolate?!?" Sam's eyes grew big.

"Yeah Dean-o!" Gabe grabbed Dean's arm.

"It's just Dean, Gabe!" Sam grabbed onto Dean's other arm and pulled. "Please, Dean?!?"

I giggled some more. "Hey, you guys can't get anything if Dean can't actually move his arms."

"Hey! I can so!" Dean attempted to move his arms, but Sam and Gabe kept pulling and begging.

Alright, this was too cute.

"C'mon, guys, get off Dean..." I smiled at Dean, causing him to break into laughter.

"Hey, are you gonna get stuff or what?" Morgan Rose was laughing now, her sides shaking.

Sam and Gabe finally let go, only to run over to the chairs at the bar table and scramble up onto them.

"I want a hot chocolate!" Gabe and Sam said at the same time. "Please." Sam added.

"I'll take the usual, Morgan Rose. Dean?" I looked into those green eyes of his.

"I'm not much of a coffee person..."

"They've got some good teas here, too." I pointed to the menu hanging in the wall. "Maybe a chai latte. It's one of my favorites."

"Whatever you say is good, is fine with me," Dean said, looking at his feet.

"So, chai latte for geek boy then?" Morgan Rose looked at Dean.

"Yeah."

"Alright. Do you guys want your own table? I can watch these guys," Morgan Rose said, a smile dancing on her lips.

"Um, if you're offering..." Dean turned to me. "Cas?"

"Sure. It'll be like a coffee date!" What was I saying? I didn't even know if he was gay!

Dean blushed darker and darker. It was really cute and I couldn't help but blush, as well.

"I'll bring your drinks over so you can just sit and talk." Morgan Rose winked at me.

I led Dean over to the best table. My table. The little one by the window. It had two different chairs, one re-furnished with vintage curtains and the other was painted to look like the TARDIS. I knew it was perfect.

"That chair is brilliant..." Dean breathed.

"I know." I beamed with pride. When Morgan Rose opened her coffee shop, I had helped by setting up this table. I painted that chair.

I pulled the chair out for Dean and gestured for him to sit. "Come travel through time and space with me."

"You're such a dork," Dean said, but smiled.

It was quiet for a while, neither of us was quite sure what to say.

"So, Cas, since you're the coffee expert, what exactly is a chai latte?" Dean asked.

I let out a small giggle before answering. "You're so clueless, it's adorable. It's spiced black tea blended with steamed milk."

"Oh. That does sound really good."

Dean looked out the window and I looked at him. I studied the curve of his jawline and the shade of his slightly tanned neck. He had a light dusting of freckles and I started to count them.

"So are you and Morgan dating?" Dean said, still looking out the window.

"No. I'm not into women."

Dean's face looked brighter as her turned to me.

"Why?" I asked, wiggling my eyebrows. "Are you interested?" 

"Oh, um... I-I'm... you're really pretty."

I blushed harder than I've ever blushed before.

"And I really like your eyes..." Dean continued.

I looked at my shoes, then up at Dean. "So you are interested." I mentally fist pumped the air.

Then Morgan Rose came over with our drinks and Sam and Gabe in tow.

"These kids are planning to set you guys up, just so you know."
