Another couple months later....

"INTRUDERS! INTRUDERS! SAM! DEAN! CASSIE!" A bunch of pups yelled one day. The trio immediately ran to them.

"Pups." Castiel sighed. Sam and Dean looked to him. "That's not-"

"Cassie?" He heard. Gabriel was on the floor, pinned by a dark haired pup. Ben, the pup, looked immensely proud.

"Gabriel? Ben, let the man go." Castiel said. "You too, Samandriel." Castiel ordered. Sam looked at Dean with a confused look.

"He's his friend." Dean said. Sam nodded in understanding. The pups released him. Gabriel and Castiel reunited in a hug.

"We found another!" Another group of pups tackled Castiel.

"Whoa! Kids!" Castiel said as he fell. Gabriel laughed.

"Cas! Tell these kids to get off me!" A familiar voice yelled. Castiel sighed and looked to Dean.

"Pups." Dean warned. The pups got off the woman. Castiel saw the woman as Charlie.

"Hey Cas..." Charlie and Gabriel said, worry on their faces. "When are you coming back-to home?" Castiel shook his head and stood, pups clinging to his legs.

 "Never, my home is here." Castiel smiled at the last part, picking up Ben, putting him on his hip. Dean smiled, he could see Castiel as a parent with him.

"We respect that you have a life here. But we never see you anymore." Charlie said sadly. "It's- It's fine, if we don't see you everyday. But you're my- our friend, we want to talk to you sometimes." Castiel smiled.

"I'd like that. You wanna stay around for today? We have no plans and if you don't mind pup playing-"

"Of course!" Charlie exclaimed. Gabriel only smiled.

"Is that fine, Bean?" Castiel looked to his boyfriend with pleading eyes.

"Bean?"

"What? It's a nickname I came up with."

Charlie suddenly chuckled. Gabriel raised an eyebrow at her. Through her giggles, she muttered "It rhymes with weenie." Dean sighed.

"Just- don't call me that. We'll work on it later. Yes, you guys can stay." Dean finally agreed. Castiel smiled wider. He put Ben down.

"You guys probably want to catch up." Castiel said, taking Dean's hand.

"Yeah! I want details!!" Gabriel exclaimed.

"Do we, though?" Charlie asked, winking. Castiel slapped her playfully on the arm and whispered 'pups'.

"Run along pups." Sam said, chuckling. The pups ran away to somewhere in the cave. Dean squeezed Castiel's hand reassuring him.

"From the beginning, Castiel!" Gabriel said. Castiel sighed internally. He started their story. In the middle of it Charlie interrupted.

"What's up with the bite on your arm, Cassie?" Castiel blushed deeply.

"Um..." he stuttered. "Well... Basically, it is a marking for your mate." He explained, still blushing deeply, he looked at Dean shyly.

"How interesting." Gabriel muttered, looking at Sam. "Does it hurt?"

"Um- not really? I guess not..." Castiel mumbled. Dean smirked and kissed up Castiel's neck. He nipped it slightly. "Dean.." Castiel hid his face. "Not here, there are guests." He whispered. Castiel pushed Dean away slightly.

"This isn't over, Castiel." Dean kept his smirk. Castiel hid his face more.

"Dean, stop, you're making me blush."

"That's my job, baby." He winked and clicked his tongue. Gabriel chuckled.

"Maybe we should leave you two alone?" Gabriel started to walk out.

"Gabe wait-" Castiel started but Sam interrupted.

"Yeah, we'll be leaving." Sam and Charlie got out of the area with Gabriel. Castiel sighed and looked at Dean.

"I hate you sometimes." Castiel rolled his eyes. "I legitimately wanted to hang out with Charlie and Gabe." Dean chuckled.

"You still love me, and they're probably not going anywhere..." Dean got closer to him. Castiel couldn't be angry at him for long. His face softened.

"Okay, okay." Castiel chuckled, he felt Dean's hands travel to his face. Dean smiled.
