Wedding

Two weeks ago Castiel had been sure, at least for a little while, that this was not going to happen. The difference between knowing about your fiance's massacre and seeing it in full screen is very different, but Dean is forgiving and he is a good partner and as Castiel tries and fails yet again to make his hair lie flat, he decides not to include that particular tidbit in his vows.

Everything is reportedly set up, thanks to Mike and Neil, and he can hear the murmurs of the guests walking through the house to the backyard where the tables, chairs, and food await. The documents are signed, he and Dean having chosen to do that in private yesterday after Castiel's last class but the vows are different, he feels. Neither of them are terribly verbally demonstrative but he hopes very much that his are deemed appropriate. He carefully slips on his jacket, knowing that Robin will have words for him if it's not kept neat for at least the vows and fusses with the blue tie and pocket square that he'd been warned by Robin was not to be utilized for any rag-like purposes. Letting out a steady breath he stares at his reflection, at the very human looking man about to engage in a human ceremony with the Righteous Man he pulled from Hell. He frowns, head tilting as he looks for himself in all of that, for the thousands of years old warrior of the Lord with the wrath of Heaven behind him and decides he rather prefers the version that is still having trouble keeping his hair neat and whose biggest worry of the day is avoiding embarrassing himself during the vows. It is very strange and Heaven will never forgive him for it and he could not be happier.

He gives the stubborn curl spring up in front of his ear a furious swipe with his thumb and checks once more that Dean's ring is in his pocket before stepping out across the hallway to knock on their door. "Dean," he murmurs, "Are you ready?"

Dean feels half strangled by the tie. Long gone are the days disguises and aliases were needed - the last tie he bothered to throw around his neck is probably years past, but this is his wedding, and he means to look nice.

“Yeah,” he calls, adjusting the green silk at his throat a last, futile time. “Just.” He releases it with a sigh. He knows himself well enough to know he’s only nervous, and he passes a hand through his combed hair and takes a few deep breaths before he turns to the door, pausing with his hand on the knob.

“Am I supposed to see you? Is that a thing?”

"Animals don't tend to be as judgmental as humans. Although in that same vein, sometimes the loyalty that humans can exhibit is far greater. In some ways, animals remind me of the life I used to lead — one with less choice, less knowing. It's not something that I resent in of itself, but it's a different way of life," says Ishiah, who also glances towards the birds, holding a hand out in time for a songbird to land on his finger. "It's hard not to appreciate the birds' songs, however. Between their musicality and their flight, they have always been my favorite animals to live alongside."

"If nothing else, I'm smaller and may not seem like as much of a threat," Rukia points out. There are times when she's been frustrated with her lack of physical stature, standing far less than five feet tall, but the advantages come often enough that she's learned to make the best of what she has to work with.

Eyes glancing curiously around the house, Rukia walks in with a faint smile on her lips. "Do you mind if I sit on the floor?" she asks Castiel, leaning down to pet Kara's head, searching for the right place to scratch to try and encourage a purr. "It might help if Ernest has the chance to approach me, rather than the other way around."

"What it ever takes to get to this point." He's not going to say it - he doesn't imagine it's a very appropriate thing to say at a wedding - but as far as he's concerned, anyone who doesn't get the sheer brutal difficulty involved in marriage is either ignorant or kidding themselves.

"We're glad we could be here. I'm glad we could see it." He gives Castiel a smaller and somehow deeper smile. "You both deserve a little happiness, I think. Not that anyone asked me."

"Sure looked that way in the magazines Cas brought home," says Dean. "All the food half as big and three times as expensive. Hell no, give me a good burger and a beer any day."

He slides the other plate to her. "Now try sour cream. After that we can graduate to dips."
always_enduphere: (I know you.)

[personal profile] always_enduphere 2014-10-18 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"See, I knew I liked you," says Dean, pointing at her with a grin. Knowing he'll only mangle the bow, he nods in return. "Thanks. Didn't really think this day would ever come. Part of me's still expecting it to go to hell, somehow, so I do appreciate you looking out for us."

If Rukia's on watch, Dean knows they truly will be safe. "But everybody needs a burger break. C'mon and pick your toppings."
always_enduphere: (Shucks.)

"I still have my job at Semele's," says Dean, "And there's more to hunt in town. Cas still teaches at the University, so we'll be around plenty. We just get to sleep somewhere quiet from now on, that's all."

He drinks his beer. "School going okay for you two? You getting any studying down around keeping an eye on your brother?"

"I shouldn't say this since I'm actually married to one, but you are an angel," says Dean with feeling, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "You got tall, dark, and not Dr. McCoy wrapped around your finger yet?"
always_enduphere: (Yeah?)

"Ah," breathes Dean, "Romance." He watches Castiel's face, intent on seeing a little bit of reluctant pleasure. He'd soaked the meat in red wine before seasoning it. "That's Hemingway's recipe, you know. Almost a good enough cook to rival his writing. You are fortifying your sex stamina with something truly brilliant, so eat up."

I wrap my arms around her, which - wouldn't anyone? But really I'm happy to do her the favor. She wants to be social, I can pretend to be social. Besides, there's usually some pretty good food at these things.

"I think you'll owe me. Maybe some time at the gun range? Maybe the gym?"

Saffron laughs softly, her arm going around Dean's waist in response. "I don't know about that, but he is pretty great," she says, unmistakable fondness in her expression as she glances over to where Church is standing nearby. "I've got no complaints."

[personal profile] jianhuo 2014-10-20 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
"I think since I'm the one who owes you, that means it's your choice," Saffron replies. She could do either of those things with him, though the gym isn't really her forte. She supposes it depends on which gym he picks. "I'll go along with whatever you decide."

It wasn't exactly that much clearer, and in some ways the whole thing was deeply confusing. If angels were real, did that mean they were real everywhere? If there were angels, did that mean their boss was real, too, and back in her world as well?

Because if so, fuck that guy.

She suppressed any urge to say that, though. It was Castiel's wedding. She wasn't a complete asshole, and he was probably in favor of the guy. Maybe. She didn't know. That was another confusing part of it all.

"...like a hologram?" she said, choosing instead to focus on a part she could get her head wrapped around better. "Or, no, because then stuff would pass right through you and that wouldn't work for Dean at all. So you're like... inside?"

"He brought magazines?" Ellie said, lighting up at the mental image of this. "Wedding magazines? Do they have that, for two guys, when it's weddings? I know they have porn for that, but weddings? Or was it wall-to-wall white dresses?"

Either option was hilarious, really. Just the concept of there being magazine browsing involved. She was still chuckling slightly when she took a swig of her drink to clear her palate and started thoughtfully trying the sour cream chips.
and_survive: (comics!!)

[personal profile] and_survive 2014-10-23 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Wow," she said. "I mean, wow. Holy shit. Sorry. That's kind of- you're full on comic book, man, powerful being riding in a human body to do good. No wonder Dean's all about you. Or- okay, it might be other stuff, I dunno, but that'd be a good reason, too."

"A cat's life is much more closely tied to its survival than it ever may be tied to a supposed master. I think that is why Robin has a fondness for cats, as well," Ishiah admits, tilting his head in thought. "The cat that Robin keeps around Semele's, Cambriel, is far calmer than the pet he cared for previously. I don't remember any pets that Robin had prior, but Salome was an undead, mummified cat. She certainly did whatever she want. And, far from caring about the opinions of others, sometimes she directly sought to distress those she encountered, myself included."

Ishiah rolls his eyes briefly. "She enjoyed aggravating me most of all. Perhaps to Robin's delight."

"Sounds like a plan." Not that I'm going to drag her to where they do that, what's it called? MMA? That shit. It's definitely not her kind of thing and I don't want her uncomfortable. Maybe I can think of something else.

Man, I need to get some hobbies outside of work, gym and eating her cooking.

She's not too worried about whatever it is Church is going to pick, as long as it means spending time with him. "I was going to get a beer," Saffron says. "Want one?"

"Love one." Weddings have open bars, right? We're not paying for this are we?

Shit, that probably doesn't matter. Whatever.

memoryisthekey: (right behind me isnt she)

While weddings are hardly anything I'm used to, I can think of worse things to be dragged to. Court marshals come to mind. Executions. But hell, I'm here with a woman who should be smarter than to pick a guy like me so who the fuck knows, right? Miracles apparently happen.

I see my boss standing off to the side and I realize that being here and not talking to him would be a total dick move. Even though months into the gig, I still don't know about him. "So, how do you know the lucky couple again?"
jianhuo: (a good day)

"Coming right up." She kisses him, then goes to grab two beers, coming back a minute later and handing him one. "There's actually a place I've been thinking of checking out, called Off the Wall. Have you heard of it or been there?"

"I haven't been to Semele's in a while," Yukio admits with a frown. In fact, it's been so long since he last visited that he wasn't even aware of the fact that Dean worked at the restaurant, and Yukio briefly pinches the bridge of his nose, his expression apologetic. "I visited the place quite frequently when I first arrived in Darrow, because I felt that it had a more varied clientele than the other establishments. But after a while, going there felt like it encouraged too many pairs of prying eyes. And I didn't want to risk that with Rin around."

He draws in a small breath. "Studying is going fine. The schools don't rank students individually in the way that they did in Japan, but I know I'm still among the highest performing students in my class." Yukio pauses, giving his beer a second look before taking another swig. Something about discussing school and drinking at the same time feels scandalous. Just risky enough for Yukio to enjoy it. "The more difficult part is keeping track of Rin. I don't think that his girlfriend likes me very much, and Rin tends to stick his nose into everything even without that type of encouragement."

"I get the feeling that the surroundings are safe. I can feel the spells you've laid in place, even if I can't promise to understand them fully. They're very different than the kidou used by shinigami," admits Rukia, her eyes skirting from one Enochian spell to the next. She appreciates the discipline of it, and the art to the spell-casting, a series of spells used together in concert to achieve a desired effect.

Following politely behind Dean, Rukia smiles as she passes by a number of people speaking animatedly. "I really enjoy how the two of you have organized your wedding ceremony and reception. It feels appropriate for the both of you. Warm, and intimate, and surrounded by friends and good cheer. I hope that your marriage will continue to be as happy as the services have been tonight."
