Their first kiss isnāt dramatic.
It probably should have been.
It probably should have happened a million times before, with the two of them caught in an impossible life or death situation, staring at each other with that look like they donāt ever want to look anywhere else. It should have happened in the middle of a million close calls, with adrenaline pumping and fear of losing each other coursing through their veins. It should have happened when they came back to each other time after time, in the midst of insurmountable odds, desperately relieved to see each other, feeling like they can finally take a breath again.
Instead, it happens outside of a motel one morning, when the sky is still streaked with pinks and reds. Deanās leaning on the Impala, laughing at his own bad joke, and Cas leans in and kisses that laugh like he wants to swallow it down and keep it inside him forever.
Itās not fancy. Thereās no music or fireworks, time doesnāt stop, and Cas isnāt quite sure what heās supposed to do with his hands.
But itās warm and familiar. He tastes like Dean, and Cas recognizes the solid wall of Deanās chest against his even if heās never felt it this way before. They sink into it slowly, soft and hesitant, but unbearably right. Ā
Cas doesnāt linger, pulls away sooner than heād like, because he doesnāt want to freak Dean out more than he surely already has.
Dean looks surprised, yes, but he doesnāt look angry. It takes him a second, but his lips curl into a lazy smile, skin glowing in the early morning sun. He looks down, lashes dark against his creamy skin, and actually blushes.
When Sam opens the motel door, Cas knows the moment is over.
Their first kiss wasnāt dramatic, wasnāt huge or overwhelming, didnāt alter the course of the future.
But Dean slides into the Impala with an easy grace, smiles at Cas through the window as he says āSee ya later.ā And Cas knows heāll have many more kisses. Kisses of all kinds.
