Cas took the notebook and walked out to his car to hide it and went back in. Just be normal, it's Christmas. He calmed down and went back inside the house and pretended like nothing had happened. He decided to talk to Dean about it when he got back from his trip.

The rest of the evening was spent cuddling on Dean's bed. Dean was completely relaxed, happy and content and almost drifted off to sleep when Cas spoke up.

"What do you want for Christmas?"

Dean let out a small chuckle. "This is going to sound plenty cheesy but, I already got my Christmas present. You." Blushing a little, he kissed Cas' jaw and went back to burying his face into Cas' shirt.

Cas laughed and replied, "That is really cheesy. C'mon! Tell me!"

"Surprise me."

They laid in silence after that until it was time to go down to dinner.

Bobby and his family, Ellen and Jo, came a day before Christmas Eve as a surprise. Jo and he were a lot like twins. He hadn't told her about Cas yet and when they were talking in his bedroom after dinner, she brought it up.

"You look different."

"Do I? How do I look different?", he asked puzzled.

"Your walk. It's happier. Do you have someone special in your life?", she teased trying to tickle his sides.

Dean scooted out of her reach. "Joanna if you dare tickle me again I swear I will claw you", he warned her.

All she did was look at him with a mischievous look in her eye and wiggled her fingers at him. "State your name, rank and intention or suffer punishment at the hands of the Shadow Proclamation!"

He rolled his eyes at her. "I have a boyfriend", he whispered.

Jo screeched and tackled him which led to them landing in a tangled mess of limbs on Dean's bedroom floor. "Geroff me woman!", Dean said and spat out a mouthful of hair.

"I'm so happy for you! I never thought it would happen, ever. I thought you'd close yourself off after-", she stopped.

"I thought so too but, he's good to me. He's coming over on Christmas day so you'll get to meet him." His eyes were cast down as he sat up.

"Are you okay?", Jo started hesitantly. "Dad told me you were in a bad way."

"Can we not talk about this please?", Dean said in a very irritated tone. Jo backed off after that.

"What's his name?", she asked after a time.

"Cas- Castiel Novak," he said and he could feel his face light up and a smile tugged at his lips.

"Wow, you really love him don't you?", she said softly.

"Yeah. He's helped me so much."

She hugged him again before heading out to the hallway so that she could go to Sam's bedroom. Dean had just slid under the covers when his moose of a brother walked in.

"Don't hog all the blankets", he warned Sam as he got under the covers too.

"I'll try not to", Sam smirked and turned off the bedroom lights.

"Bitch", Dean muttered just loud enough for his brother.

"Jerk." Sam smiled and got more comfortable. He's back.
