AU where Cas is a big movie star, and he and Dean used to be roommates and best friends a long time before that. They’ve drifted apart a little bit over the years, but they’re still pretty close even though they move in different circles. None of Dean’s friends believe that he knows People Magazine’s Sexiest Man, though, so he doesn’t bother telling them that he’s known him since they were dumb freshmen together in college and Cas looked more like a baby giraffe than McDreamy.
Which means that he ends up seeing Cas’ movies a lot with Jo, Victor, Bela, Benny, and Charlie, all of whom drool over how dreamy Cas is regardless of their sexual orientation. So even though Dean remembers the time when Cas got a total of five drinks thrown into his face in one night and tripped over his own feet because he couldn’t see, he gets dragged into participating in the “ogle Castiel Novak” parties. And maybe Dean gets a little into it, especially when they marathon all three of Cas’ westerns in one night, and he gets to stare at Cas’ ass in those tight pants without his best friend even being there.
Okay, maybe he gets a lot into it, roping everyone else into watching the behind the scenes features where Cas awkwardly leads the camera on a tour of the sets, and the DVD commentary with Cas and the director, and all of the interviews. He keeps gushing about the way that Cas tilts his head and squints when he’s confused, and how he has this super dry, adorable sense of humor that always seems to throw interviewers off, and how he’s super kind and caring even when the camera’s not on him- okay, so maybe Dean is kind of in love with his movie star best friend, but it’s fine, because Dean’s friends just think it’s a celebrity crush and he can be free to vent about the impossibility of it.
Except one day he’s hanging out with Charlie at the local coffee shop, talking about his “celebrity crush” and Charlie is teasing him about how he’s in looooove when someone comes up next to them and it’s Cas
And Charlie gets super star-struck and starts babbling, while Dean is tongue-tied for an entirely different reason, because what if Cas heard, shit shit shit
Finally Cas says “Hello Dean,” and Charlie is shocked that Dean actually does know Castiel Novak, and she realizes that it’s not just a celebrity crush, Dean is actually in love with this guy, so she ducks out of the conversation awkwardly. Leaving Dean and Cas alone.
Cas doesn’t say anything else. He just bends down and kisses Dean as thoroughly as he knows how, to the sound of paparazzi cameras clicking away all around.
