Chapter Text
Give Dean a kiss for me
“I'm glad you and Claire are fine. Thanks for the call, Jody,” talks Castiel on the phone.
“Sure! Bye, give Dean a kiss for me,” says Jody and hangs up before Castiel reacts for her words. He seems to be surprised, he has to do what?! Why did Jody ask him about that thing? What the... And how should he do this? Peck on the cheek? Yeah, Jody does something like that when they meet.
Cas looks at Dean who is cleaning a gun, and he swallows nervously. He isn't sure if a hunter will be glad of this. Cas has a male vessel, and he has never seen that some guy kissed Dean before.
Actually, the biggest problem for him is the fact that he is in love with Dean secretly. And he feels that invading his personal space would be inappropriate and unfair. Of course, he would be delightful if he put his lips on Dean's cheek. He wishes he could do this, but he knows that Dean doesn't reciprocate it.
Dean feels Cas' eyes on him, so he turns his head and asks: “What's up? Jody said something interesting?”
“No!” he answers a little too fast and too loud. That's strange.
Dean frowns his eyebrows. Cas has bulging eyes and looks like the other day when they came to the brothel, and he was afraid. Is he scared now too?
“Cas... Something happened? Everything is okay with Claire?” he asks slowly in concern.
“Yes, they're absolutely fine, but I have to go to the library.” Cas turns around and goes away. Dean shrugs his arms and comes back to cleaning a gun.

Castiel is avoiding Dean all day, but he can't stop thinking about Jody's words. He feels bad that he didn't respect a request. He's looking upset, and Dean sees this when he catches him finally.
“Okay, Cas, you're so weird all day. What's wrong? And don't say it's nothing.”
“It's about Jody. She asked me about something... A little favor, but I didn't do this, and now I feel guilty,” he explains, gasping.
“What favor?” asks Dean. It's curious because Jody always calls him for help.
“I can't tell you, it could be uncomfortable for you,” says Cas, lowering his eyes.
“To me? What I have to do with that?”
“A lot, actually.”
“Okay, so you can't fulfil that promise, am I right?” asks Dean.
“No, it's not… I can do it even now, it's easy, but I'm not sure it's right thing,” he explains.
“Oh, come on! Jody wouldn't ask you something wrong!”
Dean has no idea what she said to him, but he knows it can't be a bad thing. It was Jody, the best badass he has ever met!
“So, should I do this?” asks Cas. He still isn't sure.
“Yeah, if it fits to you,” says Dean.
“Okay.”
Cas stands and takes a deep breath. He's really anxiously, but he only clears his throat and makes a few steps closer to Dean.
He puts his hand on Dean's left arm and gives him a sweet kiss on the cheek.
Dean feels confused, but Cas explains everything at once. He whispers: “It was from Jody. She asked me to do this…”
Dean's face softens suddenly. He chuckles and grins: “You're so dorky sometimes, Cas. She didn't mean it literally. People say things like this all the time. You know, it's the other form for 'goodbye' .”
“Oh…” Cas looks ashamed and makes one step back. “My apologies, Dean.”
“No, it's okay Cas... To be honest I wish Jody would call to you more often.”
Dean smiles and leaves surprised Cas alone in the library.
