hello there

street violinist endverse cas

Out of all the places Cas has set up with his violin to play, the little corner space between the bakery and the tattoo shop in town has to be his favorite.

The owners of both businesses don’t mind him being there, in fact, go out of their way to interact with him on a daily basis.

Every morning as he’s setting up with his violin, Benny will bring him a large cup of coffee and whatever vegan bakery recipe his niece, Elizabeth has concocted for the day.

Benny tells Cas he’s being used as a guinea pig but Cas know it’s Benny being worried that he’s not eating enough. The ratty jeans he wears most days are a bit larger than usual lately.

Dean’s the owner of the tattoo shop who will stop everyday to try and stump Cas with song requests, since Cas said he could play anything.

Pantera

Metallica

Led Zeppelin

And the one Taylor Swift song that Dean swore him to secrecy about.

Cas goes through them all and Dean, with a wink and cheeky grin throws down more money than necessary into Cas’ case before heading into his shop for the day.

Sometimes when Dean’s closing up he’ll wave Cas in and they’ll sit on the back stoop of the shop, smoking the weed that Cas always seems to have handy.

When it’s just the two of them like this Cas wonders if Dean would let him kiss him, if it’d be something Dean would want.

But he’s not that high.

Cas knows he’s just a street musician who lives out of his 1978 Lincoln Continental and spends most of his money on weed and violin strings.

Of course, Dean wouldn’t.

The next time they’re out back, passing the joint between them in the dark of the alley, Dean asks Cas to play him something. Anything, his choice.

Cas pulls out his violin and starts playing Hey Jude, but it’s not until he’s halfway through that he realizes that Dean who usually sings along adorably off key is absolutely silent.

Setting the instrument in its case Cas sits back down next to Dean, who’s got tear streaks on his face that Cas reaches up and gently wipes away with his thumb before Dean leans in and kisses him softly.

What are the dimples of discontent?!?

HE DIMPLE WHEN HE NOT HAPPY
