"Cas, why are we in a group chat with Lucifer and Jack?"
Castiel cocks his head to the side, squinting slightly. "We're what?"
"C'mere, look at this."
Castiel sits down on the couch next to his fiancé, looking over his shoulder at his phone. Dean tilts the screen so that Castiel can see it.
Lucifer: Hey y'all
"Are you gonna text him back?" Castiel asks.
"I don't know," Dean says. "I'm kinda scared."
They don't have to wait long for Jack to answer, though.
Jack: Hi! :)
"Aw, the smiley face," Castiel says. "That's adorable."
"It's literally a smiley face," Dean deadpans.
"Yeah, but it's a cute, 2014-esc smiley face," Castiel says. "And honestly, anything Jack does is adorable. I don't make the rules."
Dean just shakes his head, amused.
Lucifer: 'Ello
Lucifer: I meant hello but I forgot the h whoops
Lucifer: Although how cool is it than autocorrect remembered to put the apostrophe
Lucifer: And that autocorrect spelled apostrophe for me
Lucifer: Taylor Swift was lying when she said spelling is fun
Lucifer: The song is an absolute bop tho
Lucifer: By far one of her worst songs but a timeless bop nonetheless
Lucifer: Sorry I'm monologuing
Lucifer: I'll stop now
Jack: Don't stop on my account! This is really funny :)
"He's back again with the smiles," Dean remarks.
Lucifer: Welp
Lucifer: I'm waiting for Dean and Cassie to answer me
Lucifer: Which might take a while
Lucifer: Castiel probably kidnapped Dean and made him watch Aladdin again against his will
Jack: It's a good movie, though.
Lucifer: Not the number of times Dean's seen it
"I feel called out," Castiel says.
"Good," Dean jokes. "Should I text him now, or do you want to see what stupid stuff he's going to say next?"
"You should probably text him," Castiel says. "Let's go save Jack."
Dean: Fortunately he hasn't made me watch it in almost a week
Castiel playfully slaps him on the shoulder. "Now you're exposing me!"
"Damn right I am."
Lucifer: Oh hai
Lucifer: Where be Cassie
Dean: Sitting next to me
Lucifer: Lit!
Lucifer: So obviously Jack is coming up here tomorrow
Lucifer: And Alex is going to steal his cat
