Poly Bingo Square: Meet Weird
Castiel Bingo Square: Polyamorous
Cas is standing in front of the wine row of their local liquor store. He knew what he wanted to buy until he got here. Now he’s not so sure. There’s so much to choose from and he’s not a wine person.
There’s one brand that he likes, especially their sweet red wine. There’s only one bottle left of it in the store, but that’s not going to be enough for 3 men. It would be enough to drink over dinner, but Cas is planning to move to the living room after eating to chat with their guest.
Dean is having his new boyfriend over. Cas hasn’t met the man, but he’s eager to get to know him. The way Dean talks about Benny, he seems like a sweet man. He’s also a wine enthusiast, which Cas is very much not. But he wants to leave a good impression on his husband’s new boyfriend, so he’s buying wine.
They’ve been polyamorous for a few years now. Neither of them is actively seeking out new partners, but when the opportunity is present, they’re open to other people. Their only rule is that they won’t bring anyone into their home until it’s serious.
The fact that Dean invited Benny over means he’s a special person to Dean. Cas is happy for him and he loves seeing his husband being so excited over a new partner, a new person Dean can enjoy life with. Cas hopes Benny has a similar taste in moves to Dean because Cas can’t be forced to watch one more Adam Sandler movie in his life.
Cas takes a deep breath as he’s trying to focus on the wine selection in front of him. Nervousness and excitement are bubbling inside him at the same time, which makes it hard to think about wine right now. He figures he can buy something else from the same brand.
He reaches for his favorite first, but the moment he lifts his arm up, someone grabs the exact bottle of wine he wants. He truly has no idea what else to choose if the only kind he likes is out. When the other man lifts it off of the shelf, his hand bumps into Cas’s arm.
