Chuck/Castiel AU.
Castiel works in ad sales and bikes or walks to work every day. His route takes him through the park and, one day, he passes by a street performer. The guy's pretty good, and Castiel finds that it kind of brightens his otherwise shitty day. The guy is there the next day as well, and nearly everyday after that. Castiel starts leaving tips in his guitar case whenever he's got spare change on him. One day he even decides to talk to him a little between songs. He finds out the guy's name is Chuck. He's a waiter and recently dropped out of college. He started playing in the park because his room mate works the night shift, and he'd rather not bother him by playing while he's sleeping. Eventually people started leaving him tips of their own volition, so he figured why not make a few extra bucks doing something he loves? As the days and weeks stretch on, they learn more and more about each other in little snippets. Then one night, Castiel goes out to dinner with his brother, Gabriel, and they end up at the restaurant where Chuck works, in Chuck's section. And okay, it's a little awkward for Chuck, and he might freak out a little bit to Andy - one of the hosts at the restaurant - because he's developed a bit of a crush on this guy, and whoever Cas is with has been looking at him a little weird since Cas mentioned he and Chuck knew each other. Andy urges Chuck to say something to Cas - ask him out, anything - but by the time Chuck gets up the nerve, Cas and Gabriel have already paid the check. Chuck is a little disappointed, but then,a long with the tip, he finds someone's number scrawled onto a napkin, with a message that says Call me, so he can't really stay too bummed.
