Coffee Cake

Dean Winchester doesn't even like the coffee cake at Benson's Café, but he orders it every morning anyway. Ritual is safer than change. Then one day, he notices someone new by the window, a man in a trench coat, still as stone, with eyes that make the noise of the café fade into silence.

It should've been just another stranger passing through. Instead, Dean blurts something awkward about the lousy cake, and the man replies with nothing more than a quiet observation before walking out. A name lingers behind, left in the waitress's farewell.

Cas.

Dean goes back to his motel, telling himself to forget it. But he knows he won't. Tomorrow morning is already waiting.

Author's Note:
This fic is inspired by the song "Coffee Cake" by Benson Boone. I definitely recommend giving it a listen, before or while you read, for the full effect. :)

Each chapter title is a song lyric!
