For a brief moment, Dean stared groggily out of his open doorway, blinking the sleep out of his eyes and heartily wishing he hadn’t been woken up in the middle of the night for this.
“No.”
Castiel’s eyes grew more pleading as he held up the ball of dark fur half-tucked against his chest.
"Dean, please.“
As unfair as it was for Castiel to use those damn blue eyes of his this way, it wasn’t going to be enough to change his answer this time of all times.
"Cas, no.”
“Please?”
Dean rubbed at his eyes.
“Cas, I’m allergic.”
Castiel held up a box of Benadryl in his other hand.
Dean stared at the medication, at Castiel, and then at the cat, and let out the longest sigh of his life.
"I swear to god, if that thing pisses on my carpet -“
Whatever empty threat Dean had been planning on making trailed off at the bright smile Castiel gave him as he ducked around Dean, already capitalizing on his brief moment of weakness.
“Do you have any tuna fish?” Castiel asked, already going through Dean’s pantry, and grabbed a can before Dean could answer.
He was a college student. Of course he had tuna.
Castiel was over often enough that Dean wouldn’t be surprised if he had a pretty good idea of just about everything Dean had in stock at his apartment - but damn if that didn’t hit a few painfully domestic chords on his heartstrings.
"Where did you get a cat and why is it here?“ Dean asked with a yawn, pulling out a pack of instant coffee from a drawer.
This was apparently going to be a night he needed to be awake for.
"Found her in the back alley after work.” Castiel explained as he opened the can. “And my apartment doesn’t allow cats.“
“Neither does mine."
"But yours doesn’t check."
Dean opened his mouth the argue, then shrugged.
Couldn’t counter that logic.
The next hour or two was spent getting the cat fed, watered, and Dean even set down an old towel in a box for her to sleep in for the time being - though the problem with that was that the damn cat wouldn’t leave Castiel’s lap. Not that Dean blamed her.
She was a bit skinny, but they could change with a few days of Castiel doting on her.
Besides, if it meant Castiel would be over even more often to look after her, Dean wasn’t exactly going to protest as much as he had been when he was only half awake.
The night grew later, and Castiel’s hand eventually stilled as he pet the cat where she lay on his lap, his eyes fluttered closed and his head lolled to the side against the couch cushion it was propped up on.
Overall, one of the more adorable images that Dean had ever been presented with.
Dean made his way over to the couch, sitting down beside the sleeping pair as he dabbed a tissue against his own nose - the allergies already settling in.
“Listen here punk,” Dean said softly, staring intently at the cat as she yawned widely. “You’re very cute and all, but the least you can do is use your powers to get me a date out of this, okay?”
The cat blinked at him, slowly and unbothered.
“You know…”
Dean jumped at Castiel’s voice though the words were only a gentle murmur.
“…I said the same thing to her just before knocking.”
Dog AU. Ever since Dean was a puppy, training to be the world’s best sniffer dog, he hasn’t been able to sleep alone. His newest mission takes him well out of his comfort zone: he’s teamed up with a search-and-rescue mutt named Castiel (who, presumably, still has the vet’s thermometer stuck up his ass). But Dean was never built for snowy mountains – and only by snuggling up tight will he and Castiel share enough heat to make it through the night. Except, once Dean is home safe, he finds himself pining for his canine friend…

Working as a prostitute (that’s ‘sex worker’ to the decent folks), Castiel has heard more than his fair share of odd requests. When he’s paid to spend a night with Dean Winchester (handsome, dork of all dorks, has a nice car… secretly a cop), the last thing Castiel expects to hear are the words “I wanna make love.” That’s the one thing he’s never done before – so Dean is going to show him how to do it. But then, barely a month after that night is over, Castiel finds himself in a difficult situation, and Dean is mistakenly summoned to help. They begin to share again: Dean’s apartment, the spare bed, their deepest secrets. Over time, with the support of Dean’s brother Sam, a mystery dog, and lots of cuddles, kisses, comfort, and tea, maybe Cas can finally be loved the way he deserves.
When some asshole hits a dog with his car and drives off, the first two people on the scene are Dean and Castiel. Castiel’s an FBI agent with a plane to catch, and he doesn’t have time to take the dog to the vet. Dean’s a musician, and he doesn’t have the money. An agreement is reached: Dean goes, Castiel pays, and they’ll exchange details and meet again to work things out. But who gets the dog? Sooner or later they’re going to realise that having shared custody of one pitbull isn’t ideal. She needs one home, not two. One stable, loving home…
A Dean/Cas Fantasy-Drama AU, set in a medieval world where two men are separated by a curse: every sunrise and sunset, both are eternally bound to transform into animals. Every night when darkness falls, Dean Winchester becomes a wolf, and his human mind is lost until the dawn. As the sun rises, his lover Castiel becomes a hawk. Their story has been the same for five years - until the day that a young thief named Sam stumbles into their twisted lives. Without even realising it, he becomes a part of their destiny, their paths entwined in prophecy and fate. Together with a few old friends, they set off on a journey to break the curse, but it won’t be easy. To pass the time, Dean and Castiel take turns to recount their past to Sam, narrating the tale of how they met, how they formed their profound bond, and how they found themselves wanting what no man should ever want: the touch of another man. ‘Angelhawke’ is a saga of forbidden love, friendship, and magic - but above all, family. Partially based on the 1985 movie ‘Ladyhawke’.
everyone secretly wanted a Dean/Cas dog AU, right?? where Team Free Will are all dogs???? because it exists, it’s 20.4k, it’s called Stumble and Fall, and includes snoots, snow, mutual pining, and snuggles. (Dean’s bowlegs are a PLOT POINT)
