Keys, right. He pats his pockets as Sam comes up behind him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cI don\u2019t know why you\u2019re so stuck on the Canada thing, man, none of this is ours.\u201d Dean lets out some kind of despairing growl as he jams a key into the lock, surprised and completely unsurprised when the thing turns and the door swings open, leading into a softly lit hall, a neat living room off to the side, a kitchen just visible towards the end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cSammy, if we get stuck here we are stuck, <em>in Canada<\/em>, without my baby, how are you not seeing the problem!\u201d Dean turns to glare at Sam, who opens his mouth to retort, but whatever he says is lost as he looks over Dean\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cYou know, I take issue with a couple of things in that sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cCas?!\u201d Dean whirls back around and there he is, the bastard, leaning in the doorway to the living room with his arms folded like this isn\u2019t a giant shitfest. Cas rolls his eyes and sighs, and- Cas is wearing a sweater. Not the fucking creeper jacket, or the backwards tie, nope, he\u2019s got some dapper little button up on with the sleeves all rolled up and a dark blue sweater and he\u2019s got a bunch of flowers resting in the crook of one elbow and <em>Jesus fuck what the hell do they put in Canadian air.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cHilarious, as always, Jared.\u201d Cas walks forward a bit and presses the bundle of blooms into Dean\u2019s arms, and smiles. \u201cI know you said flowers where cheesy, but you\u2019ve been working so hard lately. How was your day, and who, might I ask, is baby, since I am most definitely <em>right here<\/em>.\u201d Dean\u2019s pretty sure his mouth is hanging wide open; the ringing is back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cW-what the hell, Cas, what is-\u201d Cas rolls his eyes again and turns away, walks towards the kitchen and flips on lights as he goes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cNo, really, you two are comedy geniuses.
