A Very Merry Christmas In The Bunker || Destiel ✔

Chapter 16

"Alright, I talked with mom and Eileen." Sam says, walking into Dean and Castiel's room with a list of things for them to buy from the store. "We figured out a few easy things we can make."

Considering none of them are fantastic cooks, they can only really stick to cooking things that are simple and well within their cooking skills. Fortunately (well Sam thinks fortunately) burgers will be off the menu for Christmas dinner, even though it's literally one of the only things the Winchesters can make well. Especially Dean.

They're sticking to simple Christmassy meals that are easy to make... and well in their spending budget.

"You forget how to knock, Sammy?" Dean asks as he takes the list from Sam. "You're lucky Cas is under the blankets, cause he's not wearing any pants."

At Dean's words, Castiel turns to him, whacking him over the back of his head, before turning to Sam. "I am wearing pants." He says, correcting Dean's mistake. "Dean however is not."

That sounds more accurate, Sam thinks. Of course Dean wouldn't be wearing pants. Though Castiel has changed a lot since their first meeting, so it could be entirely possible that the angel isn't wearing pants either. Either way, at least they both have the decency to be under the covers.

"Right..." Dean mutters, rubbing at the back of his head a little as he reads through the list. "Let's go get the kid then we can go get all this."

Nodding, Castiel gets out of bed, waiting for Dean to follow. And to put some pants on....

As soon as they reach Jack's room, Castiel reads over the shopping list as Dean hands it to him. It doesn't appear to be anything too fancy that they need to buy, but hopefully they can find everything at the store that they need.

"Let's hope the kid is awake." Dean says, before knocking on Jack's closed bedroom door. "Jack!"

Luckily, Jack is calling out a reply almost instantly, letting them know that the door is unlocked and they can come in.

"These vampires look nothing like the ones we hunt." Jack comments, just as Dean and Castiel make their way into his room. "None of these monsters do."

Dean walks over to Jack's bed, looking down at the laptop screen. "Hey, you're watching Buffy!" He says. "I don't think I've watched that in years."

He remembers watching episodes of the show years ago while stuck in motel rooms with Sam while their father was out on a hunt. Though he can't remember much of what happened in it, but he has always thought that Buffy was kinda hot.

"I didn't know what else to watch, and I thought this looked good." Jack says. "And I like it."

Dean hums in agreement. "Buffy's kinda hot ain't she?"

Jack shrugs. "I think I prefer Willow." He says. "But yes. Buffy is cute too."

Dean hums in agreement. He thinks Willow is pretty cute too, but he always had a thing for Buffy back when he was younger and Buffy the Vampire Slayer was airing on TV. And who wouldn't? Sarah Michelle Gellar is gorgeous!

"Anyway, Jack." Dean says. "We gotta go off to the store to buy a few things, and Cas an' I thought it would be a good idea if you came out with us."

Jack nods, pausing the episode on his laptop as he gets up, moving to get his shoes and a jacket on. "Okay."

He supposes it wouldn't hurt to get out of the bunker for awhile. Buffy will still be there when he gets back after all. And he's only left the bunker once in the last couple of weeks, so the fresh air will do him good.

And he can't say no to spending the day with Dean and Castiel. Even if it is just going out to the store.

"We need milk, cheese, potatoes, cauliflower, pasta..." Jack reads through the list as he walks bedside Castiel while pushing the shopping cart in front of him. "Is pasta something you usually have at Christmas?"

He looks up at Castiel, then to Dean, who's walking ahead of them.

They've never had the chance to celebrate Christmas before as they've had bigger things to worry about, but Jack is fairly certain that pasta isn't really a dish that you'd normally have during Christmas. At least, in all the TV shows and movies he's watched that either are Christmas themed or have a Christmas episode they never have pasta.

He could be wrong though.

"Well it's one of the few things we can cook." Dean says. "And it's cheap to make and well within our budget."

Nodding, Jack looks back at the shopping list, before looking around the store. They're in the produce section of the grocery store, and Castiel has stopped to pick out what fruit and vegetables they need off the list and setting them down in the cart.

"I don't like this area." Dean says looking around at all the fresh fruits and vegetables.

"You have to eat your fruit and vegetables, Dean." Castiel says.

"Hey, I do eat them. Never said I didn't." Dean says. "I just don't like... this area of the grocery store."

Jack can't help but smile a little at the sight of Castiel and Dean's bickering. He finds it adorable if he's being honest, and while he knows that Dean and Castiel haven't had the most easy relationship, and there has been many problems (some he doesn't even know of), he knows for sure that they're the perfect fit for each other despite everything. There's nothing that will ever pull them away from each other.

Castiel sighs, smiling as he shakes his head at Dean's words. "Well let's just get a move on before the store starts to get too busy."

They don't fancy staying out for too long, especially around this time of year when practically every store is super busy. So they make their way around the supermarket as fast as they can, while grabbing everything they need plus a few extras and setting them down in the cart.

"Dean, there's no mention of beer on the list." Jack says, watching as Dean sets a box of beer down in the shopping cart once they reach the aisle with the alcohol.

He can't say he's surprised that Dean has put a box of beer in the cart even though it's not on the list. Almost every time they go to the store, Dean is adding beer to the things they need to buy.

"Well we're all out of beer back in the bunker." Dean says. "So even if it's not on the list, it's a necessity."

Jack nods slowly, unsure if he believes that to be a good idea. But he doesn't press the matter any further. If Dean wants more beer, then he gets more beer. Denying him of beer might not end well.

"There anything else we still need to get?" Castiel asks, glancing over at the list Jack's holding.

"I think we have almost everything." Jack says, looking from the shopping list, to the items in the cart as he mentally checks off each item. "It seems like we have everything except for a couple things."

One of them really should've taken a pen with them so they can check everything off, Jack thinks. At least then it would be easier to figure out if they've got everything. But Jack thinks he can figure out without a pen to check everything off. There isn't a hell of a lot they have to get after all.

"Alright." Dean nods. "Well let's go get the rest, then we can leave."
