Blinking his eyes open, Dean reached out to pull Cas closer, but his hand found an empty bed and cold sheets. That wasn’t right. He’d definitely gone to sleep curled up around Cas’ warmth, hadn’t he?
Rubbing his eyes tiredly, Dean pushed himself out of bed and made his way down the stairs to the kitchen. Cas often would slip out of bed when he couldn’t sleep and Dean would find him curled up asleep in the reading nook in the kitchen with a book on his chest. Hmmm, maybe he could get a glass of orange juice while he was in the kitchen. Yeah. That sounded good right now.
But as Dean stepped into the kitchen, all thoughts of orange juice and sleeping angels slipped from his mind. Eyes cataloging the explosion of glitter and sequins, Dean took one look at his husband and burst out laughing. “Oh sweetheart, what on earth are you doing?” Dean asked, leaning on the doorframe as the laughter bubbled up until he could barely breathe from giggling.
Red and green glitter was sparkling in Cas’ hair as if the angel had dumped the entire tubes onto his head. Silver and gold sequins were dotted over his cheeks and across his nose, and little clumps of silver gems were sticking to Cas’ eyelashes. A red marker trail snaked down Cas’ neck, and little stickers of snowmen and reindeer were stuck to Cas’ hands.
The angel was a complete mess, and yet he’d never looked cuter in his entire life.
“I was trying to make Christmas cards,” Cas pouted, shaking his head slightly. Glitter cascaded down his forehead at the movement, and Cas scrunched his face up at the sensation. “But I think I fell asleep on the table.”
Dean’s heart suddenly ached in his chest. God. Could his husband get any cuter?
Still smiling and laughing softly, Dean made his way across the kitchen and he gently ran his hands through Cas’ hair. A shower of glitter fell from Cas’ hair and landed on the floor. “Let’s get you cleaned up, shall we?” Dean murmured, trailing his fingers across Cas’ cheek and brushing some of the silver and gold sequins from his face. “Although, I gotta admit, you look adorable right now.”
Cas’ sleepy eyes squinted at Dean in betrayal, but a second later Cas was smiling at him tiredly; fingers lingering against Dean’s forearm as he leaned closer. “M’ sorry I made a mess.”
God. Yep. Cas was absolutely precious.
Tipping Cas’ head back slightly, Dean tilted his head down and pressed their lips together in a kiss, ever-so-soft and slow. When he pulled back, Cas was grinning; his hand coming up to settle on Dean’s cheek and his thumb grazing against Dean’s lower lip.
“You’re covered in glitter now, too,” Cas murmured, eyes sparkling brightly in the dim light of the kitchen.
Laughing quietly, Dean kissed the tip of Cas’ finger. “Guess we’ll both need to get cleaned up, huh?” Guiding Cas up from his seat, Dean looked down at the cards he had been working on. “Let’s get some sleep and we can make these together in the morning, yeah?”
Yawning, Cas nodded and tucked his head into the crook of Dean’s neck. “I’d like that very much.”
Just as Dean was about to steer Cas towards the bathroom, he caught sight of the last card Cas had been working on. “With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings,” Dean said out loud, tracing his fingers over the song lyrics on the front of the card. “Gay happy meetings. I think that sums us up pretty nicely.”
That made Cas laugh, his nose tickling along Dean’s throat. “Gay as in happy, Dean.”
“Mmmm,” Dean hummed. “Or gay as in very much in love with you,” Dean replied, settling his hand on the small of Cas’ back as he walked them out of the kitchen. They could clean up the mess tomorrow. Besides, right now, all Dean wanted to do was take his gay happy angel to bed and snuggle with him until they both fell asleep.

today’s featured creator is the incredibly creative @fromperdition! alyssa makes awesome, high quality graphics, and here are my five faves:
that is who you are: this graphic for dean’s birthday uses lines from cas’s confession and the way she highlights all of that with her design choices is fantastic. the second panel in particular is just amazing!
pride pokemon cards: as someone who never played the pokemon games but still had an entire dresser drawer full of cards, this hit me right in the sweet spot. they’re so cute and alyssa puts so much thought into the little details that she adds!
spn movie posters: again the little details add so much to this, but even without them they’d be fantastic. i love the colors of all of them and the layout of the wayward sisters one is particularly lovely
the good timeline: this is laid out like an infographic and details the spn timeline following 15x18 if we had gotten everything we wanted. the pictures and the little blurbs from the characters make it really special. if only this is what had happened in canon </3
destiel wedding mementos: alyssa has several graphics from the valentine’s day wedding but this one is my favorite. bonus cockles in the first photo, adorable rotating polaroids, dean’s vows, the ‘just married’ impala, and a beautiful manip kiss. what more could you want?
all of alyssa’s creations are stunning and it was very hard to choose just five, so go check out the rest of her stuff and give her a follow!!!
SILA! Thank you for your gifs ❤️ Your colouring skills baffle me! I am very jealous of how bright and vibrant you can make the bad lighting of the show.
