In the light of day.

Dean woke slowly the next morning, his mind sluggish and disoriented. The first thing he noticed was that he wasn't alone. He laid on his side with another person's arms around him and a warm body pressed up against his back. It wasn't his room at the motel, either. The bed was too comfortable and the sheets smelled clean, not musty.

Without opening his eyes, Dean laid there and tried to think back over the night before. There was no hangover, so he couldn't have been drunk, but his memory was hazy anyway. He remembered checking out a club that was said to be suspicious...

Couldn't really remember going inside, although his mind kept producing hazy images of him on his knees and the smell of sex. Which, really, wasn't the worst thing in the world, but it would be nice to remember it. Some worrisome thought was niggling at the back of his mind, but he couldn't quite make it come forward.

Slowly, Dean opened his eyes and looked back over his shoulder at the man laying behind him.

"Yes, Master." Dean purred playfully as he stepped into the shower when he was nudged. Dean was actually looking forward to the bar tonight. It was a fun place to spend time and he was kind of enjoying working behind the bar.

In the shower, he slipped his arms around Nathaniel's neck and kissed him slow and easy. He knew they didn't have a lot of time, but he couldn't resist it.

Nathaniel's arms came up around him when he leaned in to kiss him like that. Might not have a lot of time, but that didn't stop him from nudging Dean back until he was pressed against the shower wall, returning that kiss with the same slowness. It was just nice to be able to do this for a few moments... they could spare that.

"You know," he murmured against Dean's lips. "I could get used to this."

Dean couldn't suppress a deep moan when he was pressed back into the wall. He held on tight and returned the kiss just as deeply. One hand tangled in Nathaniel's hair, the other gripping his shoulder.

"I think I could, too," he answered softly. He pressed in for another kiss, holding on tight.

He returned that kiss. Probably shouldn't be saying stuff like that, not after a few damn days of knowing each other. It was too soon... way too soon probably. Hadn't freaked Dean out though, he'd even returned it. He smiled against his lips and drew away slowly, grabbing the soap to wash Dean back up.

"You also keep me the cleanest I've ever been in my entire life," he teased.

Dean hadn't thought before he answered. It just felt natural and easy to agree. It surprised him a little to find how comfortable he was with the idea. How comfortable he was with all of this.

He happily leaned into Nathaniel's hands, letting the other man wash him again. He laughed and shook his head. "Most showers I've had in a while, too. You keep getting me to work up a sweat."

"Hey, at least it'll keep you in shape. Hell of a work out." And he definitely didn't plan on letting up anytime soon, not if he could help it. Not while he didn't know how much longer he really had with Dean before he had to leave town for however long again.

"Definitely. I've got no complaints." As long as Nathaniel wanted to keep him around, Dean was happy to stay there and be kept busy. When Nathaniel was done washing him, Dean stepped under the water and rinsed. Then he took the soap to return the favor.

He let Dean return the favor when he was done washing him, leaning into his hands with a pleased sigh. They didn't have much time to linger... which was a shame. He was enjoying the attention. When Dean was done though, he shifted under the water to rinse off.

It would have been nice to continue, but yeah, they had no time. Next time, maybe. Dean watched him rinse for a few seconds, then turned to step out of the shower and grab them some towels.

Nathaniel slipped out and reached for one of the towels to dry off. He headed for the bedroom to slip into his clothes for the night.

Definitely looking forward to tonight. Not only would the bar be busy, but he had something to look forward to after closing too...

Dean dried off and went to get dressed. He was definitely looking forward to after closing. Just the thought of what Nathaniel had planned, and what else he might have planned, had him grinning a little.

Once they were both dressed and he had everything he'd need, he headed for the living room and the door. He paused, looking over at Dean. "You ready to head down?"

"Yeah, I think so." Dean followed behind him out the door and down to the bar. He had to smile a little at himself. It was amusing and completely unsurprising how easily he fell into a following role. It was a good thing Nathaniel was into that sort of thing, he supposed.

Getting the bar unlocked, he headed inside to hit the lights and go to start opening up. Anytime now, the employees would be filtering in for their shifts and customers would probably start piling in. "You think you remember what to do yesterday or do you need me to give you the rundown again?"

"I think I can get it." Dean was pretty good with procedures. He'd been learning to execute them precisely all his life. He got busy getting things set up and greeting the employees he recognized as they filtered in.

While Dean did that, Nathaniel stepped off in the back. Had to do some paperwork and handle some other business, but he figured Dean would call him if he needed the help. When he finished though, he was back out in the bar to check on things and greet a few of the regulars that had come in.

Things were going pretty smoothly. Getting busy, but nothing he couldn't handle. He wasn't alone, anyway. Nathaniel's regular bartender had come in while Dean was setting up. Now they were hustling drinks out fast for the customers at the bar and the waiters running them to the tables.

Dean was starting to really enjoy this. In another life, he'd have made a hell of a bartender.

He leaned against the bar, watching Dean work quietly a few minutes. The guy really was a natural at what he was doing... too bad he couldn't keep him. Maybe in more ways than just the one. "Looking good there."

Dean looked up at Nathaniel's voice and wandered down the bar to lean near him and wipe down the bar top. He grinned happily. "Thanks, boss. Want a beer?"

"Maybe later, Dean." He leaned forward a little more, watching Dean as he wiped down the bar. He looked pretty settled in the job too, which made it even better. "So no more heathens who only like sports cars showing up tonight?"

"Not so far, but I've got my eye out for them." Dean answered in a mock conspiratorial voice. He hadn't been there long enough to know if the car guy from the night before was a regular or not, but he'd had a few lively conversations with others tonight, so he was having a good time.

Nathaniel let out a soft laugh at that and shook his head. He looked up before leaning in a little closer to tease, "You keep watch. You gotta keep an eye on heathens like that."

"Oh, don't worry. They won't get past me." Dean leaned in to give him a playful grin. If the bar hadn't been full of people, he'd have kissed him, but right now he just had to be satisfied with a wink.

He stepped away a moment to take an order and refresh a few drinks before he came back to Nathaniel. "How's it looking tonight, boss man?"

"'Course not. You probably have some kind of sixth sense." If there weren't people here and if it wouldn't be more than a little unprofessional... he'd definitely have gone in for a kiss. Right now, he'd have to just stick with looks for now.

"Looking good. You really bring'em in, I guess. Too bad I can't keep you."

Dean smiled, glancing down at the bar top a moment while he wiped it. There have been times over the years when someone he was with hinted at wanting more. It was rare that he really kind of wanted the same thing.

Then again, he could be misreading the situation entirely. Nathaniel could just be talking about bartending. "Yeah, well, it's one of my many charms. You'd get tired of me fighting with the customers over cars sooner or later, though."
