Supernatural, Sabriel, Warnings-None
Find me at AO3
Sam was contentedly humming the following day, giving a bite to a delicious chicken sandwich sided with arugula salad when Dean came into the room. There was a serving of pancakes sided with bacon and sausages for him.
-Mornin’
-Hmmrnin’
He had to wait until Dean had gone through half of his breakfast before he could ask.
-…You still angry about yesterday?
Dean sent a quick glance to his brother.
-Nah, I’m good.
-You sure about that?
-Yup
-…
Dean didn’t last much under Sam’s pressure.
-Alright man knock it off it’s all good. I mean, I really was angry yesterday but you’re back now.
Sam sighed -Well that’s good because today I’m going out with Gabriel again.
-What!? -Using a harsher tone than what he intended, Dean realized his mistake and held his head down in defeat. Sam on the other side looked at him with a knowing look.. -Ok, yeah, I’m… I’m still angry.
-Why is that so hard to admit?
Dean pondered for just a second but then straightened himself a bit more.
-Because I don’t want you to get hurt.
Sam chuckled -Why do you think I’d get hurt?
Dean glanced his brother significantly. ‘Please don’t make me say it’ was what his expression asked of him. Sam studied him for a second and then it hit him. His eyes dilated and he blushed wildly while turning away from his brother’s sight. A minute later he looked back defensively.
-Just so you know, I know he took me out as a gesture of appreciation for letting him stay around. There’s nothing more about it.
Dean shrugged slightly. -Well, I guess it’s ok then.
The rest of the day went as normal as it could get. Sam had gone out a few hours ago, probably coming back a couple more hours later and Dean was on the way back to his bedroom with another beer when he met Castiel, coming forward from Sam’s bedroom. With a casual ‘Sup Cas, busy right now?’ he surrounded the seraph’s shoulder and swiftly guided him to his bedroom.
Castiel knew Dean, he noticed something was bothering him so he followed his friend’s lead. He only squinted his eyes when Dean looked around the hall before locking the door behind. Once secure inside, the hunter began to pace around for a good five minutes lost in his thoughts.
-Dean?
-You haven’t seen your brother around, right?
-Not today, why?
-Do you know what’s up with him taking Sam out?
-I think it’s a good thing he did, Sam looked very happy about that.
-Yeah well, there’s no way he shouldn’t but that’s the problem, I’m afraid your brother plays with him.
-What do you mean?
Dean stopped for a second his rant, Castiel could see him weighing down pros and cons of telling him anything at all. It was odd of him to be so secretive after all these years. He sighed in the end.
-I just want Sammy to be happy.
-But he looks happy.
-No you don’t understand -Dean sat by Castiel’s side -He might be happy now but I know my brother, he needs someone stable and Gabriel he, well, he doesn’t seem to be too reliable on his actions on the long run if you get my drift.
Castiel immediately frowned his face. -But Gabriel wouldn’t… he wouldn’t do any harm to Sam.
-Well it’s good you think so well of him but dammit Cas, he’s gonna take the first chance he can to get in Sam’ pants and I’m not gonna wait idly for him to do that you know? Cas? Wait a second, sit back down I need your help with this, we have to make your brother be a good guy for Sam.
Castiel turned back to Dean -Why?
-Because he… uh…
-He what?
-He might be the only one my brother really wants.
Cas looked completely taken aback for a second, Dean had never seen the angel like that before. -Dean, you cannot change people from one day to another. And I’m not changing Gabriel to have him stay by Sam’s side!
He stepped out of the room towards his own before the hunter even had a chance of stopping him.

Gabriel entered the darkened library dragging his feet, chocolate bar in hand. Only a lamp providing light over a couple of books on the table.
-Hey
-Sammich
-Have you seen Cas around?
-Not since Dean dragged him into his room. -Gabriel made a face showing what his theory of what they were doing inside was.-Why?
Sam knew that both his brother and Cas had always been close but he had never actually seen a piece of evidence signaling that they were sleeping together while being around them, and they had had more than enough time to prove it. He had been so sure by now everything was just platonic that receiving news of his brother taking Castiel into his bedroom had removed some things inside, he couldn’t help blushing and stood up to take a book back to the shelves just to try to hide the awkwardness a bit.
-Wow, ah, nothing. I just… wanted to ask him about a book.
-You seem uncomfortable ‘bout that.
-What? No, no. -Odd chuckles and more blushing
-There’s no reason for me to… to be uncomfortable.
-Well it is weird for me ‘cause it never came through my mind your brother was into guys as well, that would actually explain a couple of things.
The hunter eyed Gabriel, he was curious about what kind of things but was smart enough to understand that he probably wouldn’t like the answer considering he knew firsthand Gabriel had taken his brother along to certain adult inclined places before more than just once.
-And what about you? You also into both sexes?
Sam hesitated for a second and then leaned on the column by his side, focusing his attention on the archangel.
-Yeah, I am.
Gabriel only raised his eyebrows.
-Well color me surprised.
-What about you?
-Hellooo? Ex-Pagan God here? Would you even doubt for a second I’m more than willing on going down anyone hot enough?
-Would you go down on me?
Well look at that, the kid had grown a pair. Gabriel approached Sam with a sensual cadence on his posture, checking him up all the way from the bottom to the top. The hunter squirmed in self-aware while his ears and neck turned red.
-Guess there’s only one way to know.
