Prompt: Two extras on a movie set are flirting and distracting everyone (x)

Fandom: Supernatural

Title: “Snowman” by Shel Silverstein

Words: 1707

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Watermelon, watermelon, pineapple," Dean mumbled under his breath. "Pineapple, watermelon, anchovies."

The man sitting across from him gave him a look somewhere between appalled and murderous.

Dean ignored him. When the pair had been seated at the small round table on the sidewalk outside the fake Parisian cafe, Dean had thought it had been great luck. Of all the other extras on Sammy's movie, Dean had been partnered with the hottest. Seriously. Dean didn't consider himself a shallow person, but the guy had dark, messy, just-rolled-out-of-bed sex hair and the deepest, most intense pair of eyes Dean had ever seen (in a color he was starting to think of as "fuck me blue").

He was also, Dean was quickly discovering, the biggest dick on set. (Metaphorically. Dean was in no way qualified to judge such a literal competition, no matter what Lisa and Pamela in make-up kept gossiping about.)

"What are you doing," the man stated in a deep voice, speaking slow enough to separate each word into its own zip code of barely concealed frustration.

Dean shot a glance over at Sam, but they must be in between takes, because he and his co-star Jessica were talking to the short director with the sugar addiction.

"There's a word you can mouth that makes it look like actual speech," Dean explained defensively. "...I just don't remember what it is," he added.

"Oh my god," the man said, staring upward beseechingly. Then he took a deep breath and looked at Dean decisively. "No. Just have a normal conversation with me like an actual, real-live person."

"And ACTION!" the director yelled.

Dean forced himself not to glance over at Sam. "Fine," he mouthed. "What do you--"

"Aloud," the man insisted, sounding annoyed. "This isn't a stage play; this is a movie. The actors are being mic'd. You can actually talk."

Dean bristled. "Fine," he repeated. 'What do you want to talk about?" They were still on camera, so no matter how much Dean wanted to scowl and cross his arms, he tried to keep his expression friendly and his body language open.

The man almost looked uncomfortable at this point. "I'm rather certain that since you and--" He paused. "This conversation might be less awkward if I knew your name."

"Dean." He wasn't getting murderous vibes off the guy anymore, but that wasn't a good reason to relax his guard too much. He was at least pretending to want to make the scene work, so Dean unbent enough to add, "Sam's my brother."

"He's the lead isn't he?"

"Yeah," Dean said, the smile on his face no longer fake.

The other man cleared his throat gently. "I'm Castiel. Gabriel is my brother."

It sounded like Dean was supposed to recognize the name, so he shuffled through his mental rolodex of names attached to Sam's movie and came up with "The director?"

Dean didn't mean to wrinkle his nose at the name, but Castiel didn't seem to mind. He chuckled. "Yeah. He was short on extras so he coerced me into coming in to help."

Dean snorted. "Same, man. Sammy's got some wicked puppy dog eyes."

"CUT!" The voice cut through the milling din of the half-dozen tables outside the faux cafe. When Dean looked over at the table where Sam and Jess were sitting, he saw Jess with her head on the table, snickering loudly while Sam stretched and ran his fingers through his hair self-consciously.

Jiminy Christmas, Sam was obvious when he was head-over-heels. Dean scoffed. "He's got it bad."

Gabriel was already shouting something about continuity and method acting as he stalked across the floor toward the actors.

"Hmm?" Cas hummed, turning far enough in his chair that he could see the pair. "Ahh. If it's any consolation, I heard a rumor from Meg Masters that she likes him, too," Cas offered.

"Meg?" Dean asked, distracted.

"Jess," Cas clarified. "Meg told me that Jess likes Sam as well."

"Okay, cool," Dean said, relaxing back into his chair. "I'd just hate for him to go for it and miss, you know?"

Before Cas could answer, Gabriel cut back in with "ACTION!" Apparently whatever instruction he'd decided Sam and Jess needed had been dutifully delivered.

Dean fought the urge to straightened abruptly. Instead, he attempted to casually lean in, as if focusing on something Cas had said.

"So," Dean said into the silence between them. "We should probably actually attempt some acting, wouldn't you say?"

Cas rolled his eyes, but he was smiling. "If you insist. As I was saying before, since we're supposedly at a Parisian cafe, we should be on a date."

"What?" Dean wasn't quite sure how that computed.

Cas actually looked a little uncomfortable as he tried to explain his reasoning. "I mean, this is a rather terrible spot for a business meeting. And you're not really dressed for it anyway."

Dean had to admit he had a small point. Instead of his comfortable flannels, the heathens in wardrobe had stuffed him into a dark button-up and worn jeans. Dean wasn't quite sure why he couldn't just wear his own jeans, but Becky had insisted.

"Okay," Dean agreed slowly. "A date then. First date?"

"Sure," Cas agreed.

"I'll go first then," Dean said, and slid on his flirtiest grin. "Hi there. My name is Dean Winchester. I'm an Aquarius, and I like long walks on the beach and frisky partners, men or women."

Cas smiled in return and Dean was surprised at the extra half-step of his heartbeat when he saw it. Dammit. "My name is Castiel Novak. I don't know my zodiac sign. I do enjoy beaches somewhat, but I'd rather spend time with my bees." He paused. "I am utterly indifferent toward sexual orientation."

It sounded a bit like something one of Charlie's girlfriends had talked about. "Is that a fancy way of saying you're asexual?" Dean ventured.

"Demi," Cas corrected, looking surprised that Dean knew anything about it. "Biromantic demisexual, to be precise."

"Okay, cool," Dean said, bobbing his head and attempting to ignore the part of him that was filing that information away. "I'm just a plain, old-fashioned bisexual myself," he told Cas, figuring turnabout was fair play.

"'Bisexual' I believe," Cas told him contemplatively. "I'm going to shelve 'old-fashioned' for now, pending further inquiry. As for 'plain'..." He paused, then his mouth curled up in a wicked grin. "I'm pretty sure plain people don't try to add anchovies to their watermelon and pineapple."

For a split second, Dean thought about being offended. But Cas's good humor was so contagious that a sharp bark of laughter had escaped him before he could stop it. Cas's smile widened and softened at the sound, which made Dean grin and his stomach tie itself into all sorts of interesting knots, because biromantic demisexual did not mean uninterested, it meant take it slow, and his brain had apparently already internalized the difference.

"CUT!" Gabriel's shout startled Dean. He'd completely forgotten that he was technically supposed to be acting right now. "What the hell are you two doing over there?"

Dean looked over to see what Sam had done this time, but instead of berating the two leads, Gabriel was staring at him and Cas. Oh.

Dean knew he was probably doing a pretty good impression of a deer in headlights, but that didn't stop Gabriel from ranting, "We're supposed to be watching these two fall in love," he shouted, gesturing at Sam and Jess. "Not a couple of extras!"

Dean very carefully did not look at Cas. He could feel his ears burning, but chanced a glance at Sam. His little brother was slumped, half-turned in his chair with his face buried in his hands and his shoulders shaking with laughter. Jess patted him on the shoulder and raised one eyebrow in amusement when she caught Dean looking her way. His face flushed further and he looked away again.

He still didn't look at Cas.

"Get off my set," Gabriel said at last. "Both of you." Then he turned and ignored them completely, directing some of the other extras to move to fill the gap left by their absence.

Dean knew when he was dismissed. Ears still burning, he got up from the table and tried not to trip over his chair or any cords as he made his way off the set. He could hear Cas following behind him.

The mortification didn't completely set in until he saw the crew, though. Once he was out of the glare of the lights, he could see the cameramen and the sound guys and the assistant director and all the other people that just seemed to accumulate on the edges of sets. They were all, to a one, laughing at him. Some were outright giggling, others were just grinning, but Dean would have shut his eyes against the sight if he could have guaranteed that he wouldn't trip over a light and compound his complete and utter humiliation.

Dean took the first opportunity he had to slip out the doors of the sound stage into the bright afternoon sunlight, leaving the dark cavern with its fake Parisian cafe behind him. As he blinked in the sunlight, he could feel Cas walk up to stand next to him. Dean didn't know what to say.

"Well," Cas said finally. "That was awkward."

Dean snorted and just like that it was alright again. "Oh, man," he said, ruffling his hair and taking deep breaths, trying to will the flush off his face. "I don't think I've been that embarrassed since Rhonda Hurley spilled my deepest secrets at Prom."

He chanced a glance at Cas. The lighting was different off-set, but the ruffled sex hair was the same, and when he met Dean's eyes they were that same shade of fuck-me blue. But he was also surprisingly funny and he kept bees and when he smiled Dean felt like he'd swallowed a circus.

"Have coffee with me?" Dean blurted out before he could stop himself.

Cas looked surprised for a moment, then he smiled wide and said, "I'd love to."

Dean's cheeks hurt so much from grinning widely that he didn't even care when his stomach started doing the macarena. "Awesome."

The Street to WrestleMania 34 hits Las Vegas on Sunday as Uncooked presents its last branded pay-per-view from the T-Cellular Area. 2018 Elimination Chamber encompasses a quick card however needs to be heavy on the motion with not one however two signature matches on the present.

All of it goes down dwell starting at 7 p.m. ET with the one-hour kickoff present previous to the primary card starting at eight p.m. ET. Solely 4 matches and Ronda Rousey’s official contract signing have been introduced presently, however there’ll absolutely be a minimum of another over the approaching days.

CBS Sports activities will supply dwell protection of WWE Elimination Chamber on Sunday. For now, check out our predictions for the matches which have already been introduced for the cardboard.

Massive fan of WWE? Subscribe to my podcast In This Nook with Brian Campbell for a full audio breakdown of Elimination Chamber plus new WWE episodes every week.

2018 WWE Elimination Chamber predictions

Matt Hardy vs. Bray Wyatt

Brian Campbell: Exterior of a borderline squash match victory for Wyatt at Uncooked 25 in January (which made viewers query if the feud was full), WWE artistic actually hasn’t performed a lot to advance this angle. The dearth of a narrative definitely hurts the expectations for Sunday as every celebrity has merely traded catchphrases of their dueling promos. The true suspense right here is whether or not Jeff Hardy, who’s reportedly near being medically cleared, will make an look and revive some model of the Brother Nero character he performed in TNA reverse his as soon as “Damaged” brother. Choose: Matt Hardy wins

Adam Silverstein: It is actually troublesome to say what is going to occur right here contemplating how terribly Hardy’s character and this feud has been developed. Wyatt was the WWE champion a yr in the past, working a fairly sizzling feud with Randy Orton till WWE determined to get all campy along with his gimmick, have him drop the title after which embroil him in a yr’s value of terrible storylines. It might make sense to me for Wyatt to go over right here and Hardy to win a rematch of some type with a stipulation at WrestleMania 34. Choose: Bray Wyatt wins

Asuka vs. Nia Jax

Asuka’s intensive undefeated streak is on the road. If Jax wins, she is going to get added to the Uncooked ladies’s championship match at WrestleMania 34.

AS: Possibilities that Jax ends the undefeated streak of Asuka, who simply gained the Royal Rumble and is primed for a primary occasion run, at a B-level PPV? Zero. Level. Zero. That is as convoluted a match as WWE has put collectively this yr. There was no cause to place a title alternative on the road right here, mainly giving Jax (who wins 20 % of her televised matches, an absurdity determine somebody along with her measurement and power) a greater alternative on the title than the ladies within the Elimination Chamber match later int he evening. Ebook higher. Choose: Asuka wins

BC: The effort and time put into constructing Asuka’s unbeaten streak from NXT by way of her Uncooked debut leaves little suspense as to the results of this match. What’s essential is how they get there and what that in the end means for the paths of each superstars getting into WrestleMania. Contemplating the stipulation victory for Jax provides her to a triple risk title match, it would not be out of the query to see Uncooked ladies’s champion Alexa Bliss advance her storyline panic sufficient to have a hand in Jax shedding. A by-product feud of Bliss-Jax, who’re finest mates in actual life and have sturdy chemistry, would do nicely contemplating their storyline relationship as frenemies. It might additionally give Jax a chance for a WrestleMania second by profitable her first title. Both means, the prediction right here is obvious as WWE can be sensible to avoid wasting Asuka’s first loss for a serious PPV towards somebody like Charlotte Aptitude or Ronda Rousey. Choose: Asuka wins

Ladies’s Championship — Elimination Chamber: Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Sasha Banks vs. Bayley vs. Mickie James vs. Mandy Rose vs. Sonya Deville

BC: Contemplating we do not know precisely which path WWE is headed at WrestleMania by way of ladies’s title matches, together with which champion inaugural Royal Rumble winner Asuka will face, this match has all of the makings to be enjoyable. It’s going to even be fascinating to see how the members can elevate their recreation contemplating the strain to make the primary ladies’s match of its form as beloved as the lads’s model. WWE has performed nicely to place over Absolution as a plausible secure in methods it hasn’t with the Riott Squad on SmackDown. However the true debate right here so far as who wins possible comes right down to Bliss and Banks. Contemplating a title change at WrestleMania can be a much bigger second for the division, there’s cause to imagine we cannot see one on Sunday. If that is the case, the current storyline of the uneasy alliance between Bliss and Mickie James could possibly be key to the end. Choose: Alexa Bliss retains the title

AS: In title matches relationship again to 2011, the champion has gained Elimination Chamber on 5 of six events. That needs to be the case right here as nicely. Whereas I feel a title change on Uncooked is lengthy overdue and would guide Banks popping out with the title (establishing a spectacular Banks-Asuka match at WrestleMania 34), I feel we’re in for a twist. Suppose again to 2009 No Manner Out when Edge misplaced the WWE title an Elimination Chamber match early int he evening, then barricaded himself on the planet heavyweight championship Chamber match later within the night, in the end profitable the title there. I feel there is a good likelihood we see an indignant Jax just do that and both steal the title for Bliss or upset her finest pal by trying to take action. A Banks heel flip has been teased repeatedly over the past yr, and it may repay on this match resulting in a long-awaited Banks-Bayley primary roster feud and WrestleMania match. And whereas I do need Banks to win, possibly it is higher that she not undergo by way of yet one more excruciatingly quick title reign. Choose: Alexa Bliss retains the title

Elimination Chamber: Roman Reigns vs. John Cena vs. Braun Strowman vs. The Miz vs. Elias vs. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor

The winner of this match turns into the No. 1 contender for the common title and can face Brock Lesnar for the championship at WrestleMania 34.

AS: When you did not know already that Reigns was going to win this match, his clear loss to Rollins within the first a part of the seven-man gauntlet match Monday evening on Uncooked ought to’ve alerted you to the fact. Simpy put, it will be surprising if WWE spent the final 11 months constructing to Lesnar-Reigns solely to alter course on the final minute. As BC mentions under, we may see three or 4 WrestleMania matches develop out of the Chamber. The one different official choice can be Cena, however the Lesnar-Cena program has been performed and would go away Reigns with out an apparent opponent save a rematch with The Undertaker. WWE may swerve us, however that is the best prediction of any match since final yr’s WrestleMania. Choose: Roman Reigns wins

BC: The truth that dust sheets and WWE reserving have spent the final 10 months setting the desk for Lesnar-Reigns at WrestleMania 34, there is not a ton of expectations we are going to see a swerve on this one. Due to that, the primary intrigue facilities upon which feuds will get kick-started forward of “The Present of Reveals,” together with potential for Miz-Strowman and Rollins-Balor. The storyline of Cena’s worry that he is juggling an excessive amount of outdoors the ring and he solely has one avenue towards a WrestleMania match has additionally been nicely informed and will play into the end ought to he get eradicated first or make a powerful run solely to come back up quick within the last two. Though it is most unlikely, the largest swerve pop can be a Strowman win. On the very least, will probably be fascinating to see how WWE books his elimination contemplating how monstrously over he presently is. Choose: Roman Reigns wins
