There were a few brief moments of confusion when Meg woke up in a lovely, yet completely foreign bedroom. She fingered the lace of her light blue nightgown fondly for a moment - not quite her usual taste, but it sure was pretty. The mid-century looking decor flooded her with a sense of nostalgia as she sat up in bed, careful not to disturb Cas as she did, and she smiled a little dreamily as she stretched.

As she looked down at Castiel, she immediately recognized the now-familiar surge of feelings that always accompanied any world change during which Paradisa saw fit to make her human. When she noticed that he seemed to be free of the lingering cuts and bruises and swelling and that his expression was peaceful rather than strained, her smile widened and she sighed with relief.

She pulled back the lovely floral print duvet and gasped, clapping her right hand over her mouth as she stared at her left, where there was a lovely, vintage looking diamond ring on a very important finger. Meg couldn't help the tears of joy that welled up when she peeked over cautiously and saw that there was, indeed, a simple gold band on Cas. Well then.

Whatever the castle was up to this time was a mystery, but at the moment, she was frankly too happy to give a damn.

Out of all the guys in the castle who could ave ended up as his fake Uncle, why did it have to be this guy? Danny opens the door a crack, just enough to scowl at him.

"Its Danny. Never Daniel. Go away."

"Alright, alright, don't gimme the cold shoulder. Danny it is. Daniel's for squares then, huh?" Dean smiles at his nephew and raises both eyebrows to try and further convince the teen to help him when the teen caves enough to open the door.

"Anyway, if I go away, how're you gonna get your presents! Some of these are for you, y'know. Give your uncle Dean a hand."

[schrodingersghost]

"Pass." None of this was changing Danny's mind.

"And maybe I don't want any presents."

[lovemesomepie]

"Poor Uncle Dean, not even his nephew will help him." The man sighs theatrically and resigns himself to carrying all the bags himself. He slides one bag's handles up his forearm and reaches for the doorknob, trying to open the door further so he and his luggage can make it indoors.

"Besides, who doesn't like presents? Even if it's coal," Dean says with a smirk.

[schrodingersghost]

"I don't. Presents are stupid."

Danny wasn't budging.

[lovemesomepie]

When even this gets him nowhere, Dean finally accepted that something more might be up than just normal teenage tendencies. Maybe Meg had told him about that one time Dean dressed Danny up like he was a ghost and played around in front of all the neighbors when he was younger; he didn't know.

He set all his bags down on the front porch with care before looking back at his nephew again.

"Seriously, Danny, what's the problem? You know I come over for the holidays. I get it, the first bit was funny with the shutting the door in my face soon as you saw me - " he shook his head - "but this is a little over the top."

[schrodingersghost]

"Wait, don't tell me you're seriously buying into all of this happy families Christmas nonsense?"

At least Meg had been sane, even if she'd been a little too enthusiastic about the situation.

[lovemesomepie]

His eyebrows furrowed in confusion; it was starting to hurt a little, if he were honest, but he was going to do his best to make sure that it didn't show on his face.

"Look, I know your mother and I aren't exactly on the best terms, but that doesn't change the fact that we're family."

[schrodingersghost]

"Um, no we're not. I don't know you,and I barely know Meg."
