Kittens Are For Girls - G

[nileflood]

“I believed you had Sam from a kitten.” Castiel’s words are faintly accusing as he watches Dean pointedly ignore the little orange cat flit around their feet. Sammy and Ca- Gabe, they’re watching disapprovingly from the armchair, each taking up one arm (although there is room to spare on Gabe’s side, and Sam takes up the whole arm and then some). The thing, Adam, has far too much energy, always trying to do what the other two can, and most of the time without much luck. Earlier it was trying to climb the stairs, hauling itself up by hooking its claws into the carpet.

“I did. But he wasn’t like this. This thing is just hyper.” Dean feels exhausted just watching it, and he tries not to do that. Every time he’s said the cat’s name, or looked at it a second too long, it’s homing in and made a beeline for him, expecting to be allowed to climb all over him, head-butt him until Dean gives in.

Dean’s not going to. He’s not going to be a slave to a cat. Sam doesn’t need any of that emotional crap, and well, Cand- Gabriel is one of those fancy breeds that gets all high-strung when things don’t go his way. Dean gets that. But this kitten, it’s just demanding and it shouts and in the middle of the night, it gets in-between them, under the sheets. He’d live with that, but the damn cat crawls into Castiel’s arms and then that’s it. Dean gets the cold-shoulder off both of them the rest of the night.

Still... sometimes it’s hard to stay mad. The times when Adam manages to climb up onto the couch and curls up against Dean’s side to sleep, well, that’s sorta cute, although Dean isn’t about to say it out loud. Adam watches him shave too, head tilted to the side, like he’s trying to learn how to do it or something. But Cas is already downstairs with his coffee and lecture notes by then, and he doesn’t see.

He isn’t home in the early afternoon either, when Sammy and Candy and Adam are rolling about on the floor, fighting over some bit of fluff they’ve found. Adam normally ends up on the bottom, squashed under Sam’s bulk and it’s up to Dean to rescue him, and Castiel is on the phone with one of his final-year students when Dean spends half an hour playing it’s-a-snake with an old shoe-lace and the youngest member of the family.

Cas does catch them on the weekend though, when the sun’s out and Dean’s dozed off on the back steps, leant up against the railings, with the cat in his lap. Dean says he doesn’t like kittens, but there seems to be an exception that proves every rule.

TINY FLUFFY KITTEN ADAM!

This is just the sweetest thing. And all the Dean and kitten!Adam interaction make me so happy. As do the references to Sam and Candy-Gabriel, and the fact that Dean and Cas are so gorgeously domestic and have cats. Yes, perfect fliclet. Will keep forever to make me happy.
