On Their First Date, Dean Takes Cas To The Movies. 

On their first date, Dean takes Cas to the movies. 

It feels weird and a little awkward; they’ve been friends for so long and even though Dean now knows that Cas is interested in more, he still doesn’t feel like he has permission to touch. 

He wants to hold Cas’ hand in the theater but he spends the entire movie working up the nerve and eventually chickens out. His palms are all sweaty anyway. 

On their second date, Dean takes Cas to a restaurant. 

It isn’t by any means fancy but it’s a lot nicer than the roadside diners they usually frequent. Cas orders some foreign dish with perfect pronunciation and Dean gets so tongue tied, he accidentally orders his steak well done.

Conversation over dinner is stilted. This time, Dean can tell that he isn’t the only one who’s uncomfortable. In a strange way, it makes him less uncomfortable. They’re in this together, testing the waters and trying to work out what their relationship is changing into. 

Dean crosses his legs at one point, bumping his foot into Cas’ underneath the table. Cautiously, he inches it back until they are touching again. Cas smiles at him but otherwise neither one of them acknowledges it. Their conversation starts to run smoother.

On their third date, Dean takes Cas to a museum. 

He isn’t expecting to enjoy it much but Cas’ enthusiasm is catching. They’re nearly halfway through the second floor by the time Dean realizes that at some point Cas grabbed his hand and hasn’t let go. 

They’re still holding hands when they get back to the Impala. It is then that Cas informs Dean solemnly that since their third date just ended they can now have sex. 

Dean laughs and is about to explain that the three date thing is more a guideline than a hard rule, when Cas pins him against the side of the Impala and kisses him breathless. 

Dean goes with it. Who is he to argue with the three date rule?
