"Never again shall you thirst, for I am come to wet your mouth with wine and water, to quench your thirst with kisses. Words of Love from my own lips will serve as your oasis, and you shall never want for drink again."
Dean goes to speed dating night at the local library every other Thursday partly to fill up the holes in his available hookups roster and partly because it’s really entertaining. Dean isn’t sure who decided it would be a good idea to host speed dating here, but it is definitely worth the five dollar admission. It’s the sort of thing everyone in town tries out once, but it’s rare to see them come back repeatedly.
This week looks promising as several good looking mothers drop their kids off at the convenient story time they do downstairs during the social. Dean takes his usual spot at a table facing the door. He likes to be able to watch the potential dates arrive. The field looks about as mixed as usual by the time the head librarian calls everyone to attention.
Dean doesn’t usually look much at the other men who show up. He really isn’t concerned with the “competition.” However, one man catches his eye because he looks lost, and possibly homeless. His dark hair is a mess. His tie is backwards and askew. He’s wearing the sort of trench coat park flashers wear, and he’s skittish when people get too close to him. Now, he’s the sort of entertainment Dean comes to see. He would pay to hear that man’s speed dating technique. He only assumes it’s about as greasy as a used car salesman’s shtick.
So how's Dean going to break the news to Jack and Sam? I don't think they're going to appreciate him just shoving a cup full of goo in their face and telling them that it's him.
I was going to rewatch 1931 Dracula again tonight and just as I turned it on a BAT started flying around at my window and wouldn’t go away and I’ve never seen a bat at my house before and let me tell you I’ve been so gay touched starved this quarantine I was about ready to risk letting a wild bat in my room if it meant it could possibly be one tall, Sexy vampire

cas looking at dean, fascinated, when he does little human stuff, like he sneezes or yawns and he turns to look at cas and he is looking at him not even blinking, his head resting in hands
Dean with hiccups
Cas: bless you
Dean: no we don’t say bless you for hiccups we just–
Cas steps out from behind the curtain, and Dean almost falls on his face and takes the tie rack with him.
Almost.
They’re at one of those fancy shops that specialize in measuring and tailoring suits. Cas even has a consultant to help him and fuss over him and tell him which suit looks best because of his structure.
Dean tuned most of that out.
The important thing is that it’s new. Fresh and crisp. Like Cas.
It isn’t from a Salvation Army, or a secondhand thrift shop. It hasn’t lived in someone’s closet for years and gathered dust. It hasn’t been broken in, worn down, washed up. It hasn’t been cried in, or smiled at. It hasn’t been boxed up and cast aside because it was old or tired. No one has touched it, or died in it. No one gave it away, rejected it because it wasn’t right.
No one has loved it.
Dean swats Cas’s hands away from the price tag on the sleeve, and earns a frown in the mirror. “What did I tell you about looking at the damn tags before we even got in the car.”
“Not to do it.” Cas looks chastised for all of two seconds. “Dean, this isn’t necessary. You don’t need to-”
“No, I don’t.” Dean says to their reflection, finally meeting Cas’s gaze before spinning him to finish with the tie. The one he picked out. Not dark blue, like Jimmy’s. As nice as that one was, Dean likes the new tie better. Light blue. like his eyes. Sure, Cas will probably need a suit for the job, could probably borrow one, but that’s not what this is about. That’s not the point. “I don’t need to.”
Dean pulls and pushes at the knot until it’s centered at the base of Cas’s throat. Considers a tie tack as he brushes invisible lint away, and fusses with the collar of the dress shirt until it’s just right. He steps back to admire the entire ensemble. To admire Cas in something that fits, and fits well.. The jacket hits his shoulders in all the right places. It’s not too big, and it’s not too snug. It’s perfect, and Cas is actually smiling a little bit, hands shoved deep in his pockets. He looks content. Happy, almost. Dean think if he was a sappy kind of guy he could kiss him, here, in the hush of the shop, and be alright with that. At peace with it.
Cas is safe and alive and unhurt and he’s just on the edge of okay and Dean is definitely not choked up right now as he shrugs like it’s nothing, even though it’s everything. “I want to, Cas.”
And if Cas tears up a little, the salesman isn’t paying any attention anyway.

Summary: Cas never believed in love at first sight, but when he accidentally crashes a wedding trying to keep his brother out of trouble, it happens to him. Happy ending, right? Yeah, except that the man he falls for just happens to be the groom.
