Could you do one where the reader is showing Cas about human things and then it comes to 'human relationships' and then Cas goes like oh hey I wanna have a relationship with you and fluff n' stuff

Hey. I hope you like it!

Sighing, you packed up the Monopoly box. Over the past few weeks, you had taken on the role of introducing Cas to various aspects of being human. And today, you’d moved on to board games. But no matter how hard you tried to explain the concept of the game to him, he just didn’t get it. “If humans want property, why not ascertain the funds to buy actual properties rather than wasting time on fake ones?” he had asked.
“It’s a game, Cas,” you had tried to explain. “It’s a bit of fun.” He, apparently, didn’t seem to agree with you, so you had decided to move on to other aspects of human life.
“Alright,” you began, sitting back down opposite Cas after putting the Monopoly away. “Why don’t we talk about human relationships? What do you want to know?” Cas surprised you by answering straight away.
“How does one enter into a human relationship?”
“Well, I guess it would depend on what kind of relationship you want. Do you mean a friendship, or -”
“A romantic relationship,” he interrupted, listening attentively to what you had to say.
“Oh,” you replied, wondering why he was asking about this. Regardless, you carried on, hoping to explain relationships to him as best you could. “Well, relationships are all about getting along well with one another, and it helps to have a common interest, so you have something to talk about. You should trust the person you’re in a relationship with, and they should trust you back. That’s one of the most important things.” You paused for a moment, checking to see if he was following. He nodded, indicating that you should continue. “And if you find someone like that, and you really, really like them, you should ask them out, on a date.”
“Would you like to go on a date with me?”
“Um, yeah, like that!” you answered, pleased that he seemed to be learning quickly. “And if they like you back -”
“No,” he interjected. “That was a question. I find that you seem to meet the criteria for a relationship candidate, and I really, really like you. So I am asking you out. On a date.” Your breath caught in your throat, and you couldn’t believe this was happening. Admittedly, this wasn’t exactly the most romantic way you’d ever been asked out, but at the same time, there was something about it that was just so…Cas. You couldn’t imagine him being any other way.
Allowing yourself to breathe again, you thought about how best to respond. After a moment, you worked it out, and your mouth curled into a grin. “And if they like you back,” you said, picking up where you’d left off earlier, “then they say yes. So, yes, Cas. I will go on a date with you.” He returned your grin with one of his own, and you couldn’t help but think that this was the best lesson you’d had with him about being human in the whole time you’d been teaching him.
