Destiel. Modern AU.
Castiel has a normal life. He’s got a nice job, a nice apartment, a nice car. It’s all generally nice, really, but it’s boring. He can’t remember the last time he did anything to shake up his routine, outside of occasionally buying lunch instead of bringing it from home. He’s mostly okay with it, but his cousin Balthazar, decidedly isn’t. That’s how Castiel finds himself in a swing class at the community center, pairing up with the only person who seems to be a worse dancer than he is, Dean Winchester.
A few classes later he finds himself sharing drinks with Dean, then a few months later they’re sharing kisses. It’s easy. It’s comfortable. It’s fun.
But there’s one thing Dean hadn’t mentioned. One thing Castiel becomes very aware of one day he shows up to Dean’s apartment, unannounced, to a room full of half-built model planes and his new boyfriend rattling on for fifteen minutes about… marketability? flea markets? model glue?
Turns out, Dean’s bipolar, and Castiel is going to have to learn to roll with the punches and learn how to navigate these new highs and lows of life.
(Now with more dancing as metaphor!)
