Castiel smiled politely before looking outside the window. The rain continued to pour and the diner filled up with strangers stopping by for a comforting meal.
He watched as puddles started to form on the broken concrete street and listened to people running into the restaurant commenting on the weather. Shaking the excess rain off them as the waitress tells them to take any open table.
He found this mundane human experience so wonderful. Maybe it's just another day for them but Castiel will remember each word. He will remember the burnt coffee smell that mixed in with the rowdy laughter. He will remember the Beach Boys playing in the background and a father begging their teenagers to put the phone down to eat.
He would especially remember this day because he makes it a habit to remember every day he spends with Dean.
"Did you order yet?" Dean sunk into the seat across from him and smiled. It shined so bright that Castiel can feel his heart race at the sight. He was only away for less than five minutes but Cas missed him so much.
"Yes. I got you your favorite heart attack special with a waffle instead of pancakes."
"Oh! Good call, dude. I've been craving waffles since-"
"You saw the billboard. I know. You won't stop talking about it." Cas teased and it made Dean chuckle.
The waitress came over and filled their mugs with coffee and dropped the flavored creamer in front of them. "Extra caramel for the gentlemen. Your food will be out in a sec."
"Thanks." "Thank you."
The waitress leaves them again and Dean lets his legs tangled up with Cas'. "What did you get yourself?"
"Pancakes."
"Chocolate or blueberry?" Dean started to open creamers and mix them into Cas' coffee. Stirring in sugar right after because he knows he likes it sweet.
"Blueberry." Cas watches Dean's hands as they stir and then lifts the spoon to his mouth before he mixes his own coffee.
"Course. Remember to turn down the mojo before you eat this time."
Cas nodded once, humming an agreement, as he reached to take a sip of his coffee. The sweet sugar coated his tongue and he smiled. "Perfect once again."
"Yeah? Taste like a bowl of sugar?"
"And caramel."
"That's just burnt sugar, sweetheart." Dean took a sip of his coffee—he only adds two creamers—and let out a loud sigh."Now that's some good coffee."
"I'm sure."
Castiel felt his shoulders relax as he enjoyed the view in front of him. Watched as the waitress sets their breakfast down and Dean raised his finger to "pretty please" himself some hot sauce. He let Dean cut his pancakes before he pushed the plate back towards Cas. Loving how wide Dean's eyes got when Dean was surprised by the extra slices of bacon Castiel ordered.
But he especially loved when Dean asked, "Can my husband get a glass of OJ? Thank you."
He will never get used to that.
"I don't want orange juice." Castiel tells his husband as he takes another bite of bacon.
"It's for me but I already got coffee and chocolate milk so I don't want to push it. And stop eating all the bacon."
When breakfast is over they pay and Dean hides under Cas's coat as they run through the rain. Dean’s arms wrap around Cas’s waist and he ducks his head into Cas’s chest. Every second felt like a wonderful eternity.
"Cas! You got the keys, man!"
"Oh." Castiel took the keys from his trench coat pocket and opens the passenger side for his husband.
"Such a gentleman." Dean teases but before Castiel can roll his eyes and walk away, Dean pulls him in for a kiss. Soft and lingering as the rainwater pours over them. "Been wanting to do that all morning."
Dean winks at him before sliding into the car and closing the door behind him. It takes less than a second for Cas to restart himself and jog over to the driver's side.
"You okay, Cas?"
The rain was now a sprinkle and rainbows appeared over greased stained puddles. The world never looked so beautiful.
"Never better."
He took his husband's hand and drove them off to their next adventure.
