Gabriel was leaning on the chair across him, feet over the table with a smug smile. He hadn’t moved for a while, waiting for the exact moment juuust right before Sam snapped to interrupt him.

-So.

-So? -Regarded Sam, annoyed that he had been beaten to the punch.

-You and Cas.

-What about us?

-There’s something going on between you. – Gabriel moved his eyebrows in a knowing manner.

Sam gruffed incredulously -What?

-Don’t play dumb, I’ve seen the glances you’ve been giving each other these past weeks.

Sam was floored for a second. He never imagined Gabriel to be the kind of guy who caught up subtleties.

-You’re insane.

-No, you’re in love.

Sam couldn’t help but laugh

-Ok now you’re not making any sense at all.

He was about to close the book he had in front of him when the archangel stood up.

-All I’m saying is, if there’s someone I don’t mind banging the bed’s headboard with my little brother, that one is you but for that to happen you’d better take that stick off your ass first, grow a pair and tell him how you feel.

Gabriel disappeared in front of his eyes leaving Sam incapacitated to sass him back, frustrated, he threw a ball of paper to nearest dustbin. Something about the conversation was bothering him thought. Did Gabriel just implied he was giving him his blessing?

Meanwhile, a similar conversation was taking place on the other side of the bunker.

-Dean, I told you already, I’m not “checking up” your brother.

-Alright buddy if you say so. All I’m saying here is, there’s a tv with Netflix at the Dean-cave and you still prefer to get into Sam’s bedsheets, to which he never complaints. So if you don’t want to tell me a thing it’s cool but you should at least consider telling Sam how you feel for real.

The hunter’s smug face was rubbing off on Cas in an annoying manner. The easier thing to do was to tell Dean the truth but he found himself unable to admit he had kissed Sam, leaving some grace on him and that although he was indeed checking him up it was mostly because he wanted to see whether it was having any effect on him. In the end he just rolled his eyes and sighed.

-I’ll think about it later.

Dean beamed his smile at Cas and left him to keep on with the coral reef documentary he had been looking at before the interruption but his thoughts kept steering towards Sam. Giving up to it, he went searching for Sam, who was still lingering at the library.

-Hey Cas, what’s up?

-Nothing, I just wanted to check on you.

Sam chuckled -Why would you need to check on me?

-I just… thought it would be good.

Sam turned around to see if there was no one close enough to hear.

-Is it about the grace you placed in me?

Cas nodded, he sat by Sam’s side and held his face between his hands, trying to peer with as little intrusion as possible into the hunter’s body to see if there was something odd.  

-Have you felt any different?

-Nope, everything’s normal I guess.

Well it was to be expected, Cas thought, he assumed he had willed enough intention on turning Sam bisexual on the grace he had placed on him but he wasn’t pining for him like Gabriel had for Dean, maybe that was the reason Sam didn’t look nor act any different. He still remembered how Dean had behaved when that had happened to him, nervous and squirmy, obviously aware something odd had been going on while Sam was just hanging like normal. Maybe they should just put an end to the silly experiment. It was obvious Sam would not actually end up feeling any kind of attraction to men, even less to him, knowing that he was an angel. Dean was an idiot for even trying to convince him of that.

Cas had been staring at Sam long enough for the hunter to feel a bit uncomfortable with the way he was being held by the seraph.

-Uh, Cas?

Cas snapped from his thoughts and took his hands away from him in haste.

-Sorry… I spaced out.

-It’s ok

-I cannot see anything changing in you Sam. Maybe we should just end this experiment, it looks like a waste of time.

Sam didn’t know what to answer the seraph, he had asked Castiel for a kiss in the pretense that he could eventually be turned bisexual, the problem he just realised now was that he already was bisexual so, naturally, there was no way the experiment could have made any difference on him at all. He couldn’t tell Cas he had just wanted to kiss him now, right? What would Cas think of him, taking advantage like that of their friendship? But right now Cas felt like none of it had been worth it. How could he fix the mess he had made? Before he could keep himself worried about that he noticed how close Cas was from him. He intended to kiss him to take his grace back. So that was it? There would be no more kisses after that.  

-Wait.

Castiel stopped an inch from his face. Sam pushed him softly away.

-There’s still a week left, maybe we should just wait until the month ends.

Castiel stiffened a little but pushed himself back from the chair to stand up.

-Of course, if that’s what you wish.

Before he could actually step away, Sam held his hand. Castiel turned again towards him, with those piercing blue eyes questioning Sam silently.

-It’s not… It’s not a waste of time Cas. Maybe something can happen.

Castiel only nodded at Sam to give him reason but deep inside he was a bit frustrated. If he was only allowed to have just another kiss then he’d rather have it sooner than later.
