Hello all! So I saw a prompt on Tumblr and decided why not. and thus, The Sweet Stop was born!
I hope you guys like it. I don't know how many chapters exactly it will be... But I have some good hopes for this one!
Sam had always loved his brother. Yeah sure, they were brothers, brothers supposed to love each other, etcetera. But it was so much more than that. It was actual love, and he sort of figured Dean would never return this unrequited curse of love, but hey. That doesn't stop Sam from loving him.
No matter how many times Sam had said "I love you" and Dean returned it, he knew it wasn't in the same way.
At least nothing came along to bother him with his relationship with his brother, there was no one to challenge his feelings. Sure Dean flirted with other girls, but those didn't last long, or it was time for them to move again and the relationship ends up crumbling, with Dean moving on quickly after.
That's why even the moves with dad for his job (what he did exactly, Sam didn't know, he wasn't into that stuff) were tiring, it wasn't all that bad with his brother single again.
The countless moves were annoying, the car rides long the changing of schools annoying, but it was all worth the new place at the end. As long as he was with Dean, his brother, the love of his life, Sam was really okay.
Until the one move, when they finally settled down. It was all good, a nice place in South Carolina a tiny place by the beach. All was really good, until he came along. His name was Castiel, and nothing would be the same.
With nothing to do, one day Sam and Dean took a little walk to shops around town. Between the countless t-shirt shops that sold Henna tattoos and the other ragged souvenir shops that sold numerous keychains, and when they just needed a drink they slipped into a nice small bakery in between two abandoned and lonely stores.
"Welcome to The Sweet Stop ah-" Came a voice from behind the counter as the little bell above the door rang. "Um... How may I help- ow. How may I help you?" the person, now visible asked, after hitting his head on the slightly shorter counter. He seemed about Dean's age, a little younger perhaps with bright blue eyes and jet black hair. There was a small name tag that had the name "Castiel" in bold.
"... Are you okay?" asked Dean, tilting his head at Castiel. Sam thought he saw a spark of interest in this person which made him roll his eyes slightly, but a part of him believed Dean was asking only to be considerate.
"I'm fine. Fine, I swear." the guy - Castiel - responded, a bit annoyed. "Now you gonna stop staring and get something or..." he crossed his arms.
"Castiel that's no way to treat guests." Came another voice from the back as a slightly taller guy with brown hair and eyes came out from the back, partially covered in flour. "Please excuse him he's..." he shot a glare at Castiel who looked away. "He's new to serving. The business in general."
Dean chuckled a bit as Sam glanced over at his brother. "Well then I guess I can excuse the attitude. Smells good in here, can I get two waters?" Dean asked, looking to the glass case besides him with different colored pastries and cakes. But what caught Sam's older brother's attention more were the signs that read different kinds of pie. "... And pie. But there's none in there wait, you guys have pie, fight?"
Castiel looked over to the older guy. "I dunno, Gabe?"
"Anna?" the brunette ("Gabriel" read his name tag) shouted back to the kitchen. "Pies?"
"They're coming!" the girl's voice came. She sounded exhausted, like she had been working all night.
"They're coming."
"Right. Add an apple pie to that." Dean mentioned, digging into his pocket for his wallet as Sam stayed silent beside him.
"7.75." Castiel mumbled, looking down at the register and taking the money from Dean, sorting the small amount of money into the cash register as Gabe brought out the two waters.
"Thanks." Sam and Dean said at the same time, taking the waters and uncapping the top. "So... Not too busy, huh." Dean continued, looking around the small, empty bakery. Not like anybody was in here when they came.
Gabe shrugged and leaned on the top of the glass display case. "It's usually just come and go here. No one really comes and stays. It's a wonder how it stays open, but as long as it does, we survive."
"That's what happens when you get into the bakery business." Cas muttered, as he got another glare from Gabe and the redhead who came around the corner with trays of newly baked goods, who must be Anna, glared at him also. "... What?"
Gabe moved over so Anna could stock the glass case as Sam piped in. "So are you all related?"
"Cas is adopted." Gabe responded, pointing to Cas, who disappeared to the case, helping Anna stock. "But yeah, family run. Mainly Anna's in charge though. Now you enlighten me, what are you guys doing around here? Not often teens come in here. Usually adults and old ladies looking for treats."
"Just moved here. It got hot, seemed inexpensive." Sam said as Dean nodded.
"Lucky stop." Gabe chuckled, grabbing a slice of apple pie from the plate and shoving it towards Dean. "One apple pie, bon appetite."
As soon as Dean got the pie he dug in. Sam admired how much his brothers eyes lit up whenever he received a thing that he enjoyed. "This is some damn good pie." He mumbled, mouth full of pie.
"Right? That's what I say!" When Sam and Dean turned their attention to Gabriel he had stolen another piece of pie and had a mouthful. "I say we should put it on the door. Damn good pies sold here!"
"Gabriel you owe me 3.75 for that piece of pie." The only girl said, going back to the kitchen, probably to get more to put out. The glass case was now mostly filled and not as empty as before.
"Add it to my tab."
"You say that every time. It's probably to about 40 dollars by now." Anna shouted back, as she retreated.
"Shit. She's right."
Sam pulled on his older brother's sleeve. "Dean, we should probably head out..."
"So we should." Dean said, glancing over at the clock. He nodded his head at Gabe and Castiel, even though Castiel didn't seem too enthused. "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too. Come back sometime!" Gabe shouted, waving as Dean and Sam walked out of the bakery. Little did they all know, this meeting would change lives, forever.
