10: From Then On

Life was pretty good. After the spectacular bust up and make up (with even more spectacular and bendy sex - even Gabriel's gift had come - no pun intended - into play) Dean and Cas resumed a very familiar routine. Lunchtimes were spent lounging against the counter, evenings around Castiel's as they cooked dinner together and their ( Read more... )

09: One Last Time

There was no answer to the doorbell. Dean knocked to no response. He searched for a spare key but there didn't seem to be one. So, resorting to brute force, he kicked the door down. He'd just have to pay for it after making sure Castiel wasn't doing anything stupid. The ground floor was empty. No one answered his shouts. Dean ( Read more... )

08: Go Fix It

Dean shut the shop after the confrontation between Castiel and Amelia. He couldn't handle seeing anyone at that moment. He knew Ellen would probably give him a piece of her mind and dock his wages but at that point he just couldn't bring himself to care. He went back to his apartment. It felt like an age since he'd last been there. He ( Read more... )

07: Back To The Past

The next few days are spent in relative peace. Sam's break up with Ruby seemed to be fully supported by his other friends. It seemed that she had had a reputation round campus that only Sam seemed to have been blissfully unaware of. This meant that Dean didn't really need to mollycoddle Sam as much as he'd normally have wanted ( Read more... )

06: Just Say No

The dinner was nice. Nice being the only word in Dean's vocabulary at that point. Holy fucking God was another option. He had picked Cas up, as agreed, at 7. He appraised the shorter man, in jeans with rips in them and a loose fitting light blue linen top. With his stubble slightly heavier than normal he looked a tad on the hippie ( Read more... )

05: Away With The Fairies

The next day Dean thought about ringing Cas. A lot. He was distracted during work. Thankfully none of the customers seemed to notice that he was only physically present. Mentally, he was wandering around in his mind, trying furiously to figure out an excuse to phone Cas. While he was only working in the afternoon, he had ( Read more... )

04: Un-date

Laying back on his bed, Dean gazed at the ceiling with a dazed smile. Today had been, well...a series of ups and downs. It all started off last night technically. After Dean got home from work he got dinner (large take away pizza with extra bacon) and sat on his couch staring blankly at the TV. Ellen was going to string him up by the ( Read more... )

03: Rules Are Made To Be Broken

Dean was happily pottering away in The Emporium, humming along to Metallica playing on the radio. He was putting boxes back in their proper places when the door opened and an odd looking pair came in. One was slim, dark haired in a dark and expensive looking suit. He was wearing sunglasses and had a confident swagger ( Read more... )

02: Voices In The Back Of Your Mind

Forgetting about the lonely and scruffy man with penetrating icy blue eyes was surprisingly difficult. While Dean could forget about most pretty things that flitted through his life relatively quickly, this stranger seemed intent on haunting him. Even if during waking hours he'd succeed in distracting himself, ( Read more... )

01: Look What The Wind Blew In

The Emporium was a respectable place. Sure, it was a sex shop that catered for all tastes, but it had a reputation as discreet, friendly and able to get hold of most things at a short notice. Things that may not always be on quite the right side of the law and came in shiny foil wrapped packages. It was family run, ( Read more... )
