It's a gift; you keep those.

stede particularly loves the way ed puts his hair in a messy half-up bun because he can see his whole face and all his expressions and because it means there isn't an inch of his forehead stede can't reach with his kisses

their new fridge is completely empty so dean and cas make a quick trip to a nearby grocery store, they are ready to go pay when castiel notices dean has vanished, right as he turns around to ask what even is the difference between the dozen available brands of peanut butter in front of him. he puts back the two jars he was holding the two and focuses on locating dean, pushing their cart up and down each aisle until he finds dean standing in front of locked glass case with a display of all type of whiskies and brandies and rums, with his hands closed on a tight fist, so castiel parks their cart away from the traffic in the midlle of the aisle and walks up to him, " i just walked by and i was going to get a bottle, you know?" he says as soon as he registers cas' presence at his side, he takes a deep breath, " but i don't want this to be the way i escape the rough days, not anymore." and castiel doesn't really know what to say so he takes dean's hand, waiting for him to relax to tangle their fingers together and he hopes dean understand he is saying i'm here, i'll be here, you won't do this alone and he squeezes dean's hand and dean squeezes right back in a way castiel can tell means a quiet thank you and after a minute or two castiel gently moves dean away from the shelves and the bottles and from whatever dark place he has gone to and dean pushes the cart and gives him a fond look, that castiel misses because he is complaining about the peanut butter

cas loves hanging around while dean cooks dinner and in the past he would simply sit at the table and listen to dean talk as he explained what he was doing, just happy to see dean at ease without any kind of interest in cooking, and when they get together and he isn't an angel anymore and the world isn't ending and their kitchen is miles away from the bunker he still doesn't have any interest on learning how to cook but he doesn't sit and wait anymore he cut the veggies for dean and he refuses to get involve in the difficult parts of the process as much as dean tells him he is there to help and whenever he can he steals and eat the ingredients and he still listens to dean's explanations, and dean is even more at ease now and castiel can do what he always wanted to do, interrupting dean with as many kisses as possible

every night before going to sleep ed and stede say "night night" to each other and it never fails to make stede giggle
