Brownies

Summary:  Dean / Cas Christmas Fluff   Warnings: Some mild drug use (pot)

"Have you got any plans for the holidays?"  Castiel asked Dean in the breakroom one day at work.  It was cold and he cupped his hands around his paper cup of hot tea for warmth.

"Not anything crazy…My brother Sam and I will probably sit around watching tv and drinking eggnog but beyond that nothing too crazy.  What about you?"  

"No, my family is not from around here and I'm not travelling.  I guess you could say we are un-officially estranged."

"Well, you're welcome to come hang with Sammy and I over the break.  We will get a ham and some of the fixings."

Castiel's eyes brightened up.  He wasn't fishing for an invitation he just wanted to know what Dean was doing so that while he was sitting at home alone over the break he could day dream about him.  

"If it's not too much of an intrusion, I would love it."

"Of course,  I always love hanging out with you anyway."  

Cas was almost blushing now.  "I can bring some wine."

"Good, I will make some of my special brownies."  Dean gave Castiel a wink.  

Castiel has never been one of the cool kids but he was pretty sure he knew what Dean meant when he said "special" brownies.  He leaned forward to whisper in Dean's ear for clarification any way.

"Do you mean pot brownies?"  

"Yeah, is that okay with you - I mean I don't have to make them…"  Dean was back pedaling now thinking maybe he had assumed too much.

"No - that sounds nice - I mean - I've never had it before - but I think I would like to try it…"  

"Okay, well if you're sure."

"If I'm being honest I'm a little worried - I've never even been really drunk before so I'm not sure what I will be like on pot - but I've always wanted to know how it feels."

"The key is to having someone there who you trust who can talk you through it.  I'll be there with you…you trust me don’t you, Cas?"  

Cas nodded in affirmation and Dean did not doubt him.  It was settled then.  Cas would come over for dinner and movies on Christmas Eve.  Dean who had been pining for Castiel for months now since he joined his department was cooking like crazy in the kitchen and playing Metallica on blast.  Sam came in the kitchen and opened a beer.  

"I thought you said we were just having a small dinner -"

"huh?"  Dean pinched his face up not able to hear Sam.

"I said…I thought it was just going to be a small dinner…." Sam tried to yell over the music.

Dean set the hand blender down and lowered the music.  

"One more time…"  

Sam repeated his question with a put out roll of the eyes.  

"Yeah - well that was before Cas agreed to come over dinner.  I want to have enough food and I'd like to impress him…ya' know?"  A faint pink blush covered Dean's cheeks.  Sam was well aware of Dean's little crush.  Dean talked of nothing else most nights after work.  Sam has been trying to persuade him to ask Cas out for a while but Dean would always say - I'm not sure if he's into guys and then the conversation was over.  

Dean set the brownies out to cool just as the doorbell rang.  Cas was right on time.  Dean had to stop and take a breath before going to the door.  

"Hiya Cas"  Dean pulled Castiel in squeezing him tight and Castiel squeezed back just as tight for just a minute Dean felt sure that this meant as much to Cas as it did to Dean.  Castiel followed Dean into the kitchen.  Dean had changed over to a Christmas playlist with an assortment of his own quirky versions of Christmas songs that he and Sam had collected over the years…including the Muppet's John Denver Christmas album.  Dean would fight anyone who said it wasn't a masterpiece.  Castiel set the wine down on the table.

"Wow - Dean this looks delicious - you undersold - you said this would be a small dinner."  Castiel eyed the ham, turkey, and a heaping bowl of mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls.  There were two pies apple and pecan and Castiel eyed the special brownies on the cooling rack.  Sam came through the door and clapped Cas on the back.  

"It's good to see you again, Cas how are you?"  

"I'm well, thanks for having me over I hope it's not too much of an intrusion."

"No, are you kidding?  It’s great to have someone else to share the holidays with.  It’s just Dean and I all the time.”   

They dug in.  Sam was gracious and warm keeping the conversation going even when it seemed like it was going to fizzle out.  

Sam and Cas made their way to the living room with the eggnog and rum to pick out a movie.  "Do you have a favorite Christmas move?"  Sam asked Cas.

"I've always been fond of It's a Wonderful Life but that's a bit older of a movie."  

"Okay, we can start with that one.  It's one of our favorites too.  Dad made us watch it every year."  

Dean came in clicking the lights off and sitting down on the couch next to Cas. They watched It's a Wonderful Life and Home Alone.  Sam had fallen asleep somewhere in the middle of 'Home Alone'.  When Dean got up to put The Santa Clause in Sam excused himself to bed.  

"I'm sorry guys - I guess I'm just too old to party hard like I used to… You two don't stay up too late though - or Santa won't come…"  

Cas laughed as Sam made his way back to his room.  "Maybe I should go - Dean - it is getting late - I don't want to keep you up too late."  

"No, Cas stay - we haven't even had the brownies yet.  I mean unless you want to go…"  

"I'd like to stay."  Castiel was looking down at his hands.  

"You really should just stay and crash on the couch tonight.  It's supposed to start snowing and if we're gonna eat these brownies there is no point in you trying to go out."  

"Okay."  Cas smiled shyly at Dean.  

"Okay, then."  

Dean came back with the pan of brownies and a blanket.  He plopped the brownies down on the coffee table and covered him and Cas with the blanket.  

"Now the thing about brownies is you need to take it slow.  You won't feel it right away so you may think you need to eat another one and then it can hit you pretty quick."  

"Okay."  

They were about halfway through "the Santa Clause" before Castiel got the nerve up to eat a brownie.  When the movie was over he had another one. Dean had one and turned the Christmas music back on in the background.   They sat there in the dark other than the glow of the tiny pre-lit tree in the corner.  They both started giggling randomly at the 12 days of Christmas song.   The giggle grew until they were both belly laughing so hard they were almost in tears.

"I have a confession…"  Cas said wiping at the tears in the corners of his eyes, laughter still in his voice.  

"What's that?"  Dean grinned back.  

"I have a crush on you…."  Cas let out another string of giggles. "I've had one for months now…isn't that absurd!"  Castiel was bent over laughing with his hand on Dean's knee for support.  Castiel would have never made this confession not in a million years, not to anyone - least of all Dean.  It must have been the brownies giving him the courage.  

Dean who was not as high as Cas was frozen in place.  He couldn't decide if Cas really had this crush on him.  And even if he did, clearly it wasn't something that Castiel felt comfortable enough talking about sober so maybe it wasn't something he wanted to act on.  Worse yet - maybe Castiel had been aware of Deans ill-hid feelings all this time and was now mocking him.  Whatever it was - it was enough to sober Dean right up.  

"Why would you say that Cas?"  Dean's voice had dropped a few octaves and it was clear that he was no longer laughing.  

Castiel sat up and let go Dean's knee.  With all the mirth gone, his head just felt foggy and slow as he tried to figure out how to answer Dean.  

"I - uh - I just that's - I shouldn't have opened my mouth - Dean - shit I'm sorry.  I should go."  Cas pulled the blanket back and tried to get off the couch but he tripped over the leg of the coffee table.  Dean caught him and pulled him back down next to him letting his hand stay resting on his shoulder.  

"Cas don't go - just tell me - are you making fun of me?"   Cas' eyes widened in shock -

"What makes you think I'm making fun of you?"  

"I just I thought maybe it was obvious that I have feelings for you - I thought you were mocking me."  

"No - I had no idea you had feelings for me - I mean - I hoped but I assumed we were just friends and that this was just wishful thinking."  

"So you have a crush on me and I have a crush on you?"  Dean grinned and Cas returned the smile, relaxing against Dean's side.  Dean spread the blanket back over them both and reached for another brownie.

"hey Cas…"  Dean said between mouthfuls of brownie.  "Can I hold your hand?"  

"Yes, Dean."    

The next morning Dean woke up with his head on Castiel's chest.  Neither of them spied Santa but they both got their Christmas wish that year.  

Hope you guys liked it.  Thank you for reading!  <333
