Chapter 1

Mopping the floors, Gabriel waited for his prey to arrive. While he hadn't thought it would be so soon, Gabriel couldn't help but want to see what the hunters were made of if they were ready to face their destiny and end the world. One look at the younger brother, the one destined to house The Devil and Gabriel was done. All supernatural creatures could sense their soul mate. It was programmed into them, the only ones who weren't able were humans, and even they could sense it on a smaller scale.

The second Gabriel saw the tall man's eyes he knew his grace was connected to Sam's soul in a way he never expected. For a moment he was filled with pure bliss, all his life Gabriel had searched for his mate, and though he knew it would take a while for Dad to create one for him, here he was standing before him. It was a miracle. For about a second. Once Gabriel realized just who exactly was chosen to be his mate he nearly fled the building.

Gabriel had known when he left home that he was going to anger his Father. It was up to him to help raise and love the angels just as he had done since creation. Michael was always too battle-ready and Raphael too cold, the warmth of Heaven once Lucifer left, fell to Gabriel and while Father had never told him it was his job, Gabriel knew. Gabriel never thought he would be punished this way though. It was cruel to know that his mate, the one being in all existence made for him was also the vessel of his brother. It didn't make sense, why Father would create one being to suit both archangels?

'Unless'thought Gabriel, while flirting with the tall hunter who was laughing while he guided them to the dead professor's office.'Unless it's another lesson, another choice.'For him to lose Sam to Luci, Sam would have to say yes, would have to choose Lucifer over Gabriel. It would start the Apocalypse, even the fact that both brothers were alive was enough to show signs of The End. Perhaps this wasn't a punishment, but Gabriel's chance of redemption. If he could stop Luci from taking over his soulmates body, if he could stop this in its tracks there was a chance he could have the one person he had been waiting eternity for.

Joking with Sam while they searched the room for EMF and Dean stuffed his mouth with candy, Gabriel tried to think quickly. It would only be a matter of time before the hunters either pegged him for the monster they were hunting or left town. If he wasn't careful he wouldn't be able to do anything. What he needed was time; time to plan it all out and more importantly time with Sam to make the hunter realize they were mates. Just before he turned around, Gabriel decided he needed to do something before the hunters left, something to let the tall one know that they were meant to be together.

"So, you heading home once you're done checking out the professor's office?" While he tried to mention it casually, Gabriel didn't want the hunter to become confused on what he was asking. Turning to partially block Dean, Gabriel made certain Sam knew it was him he was asking about and not the two of them. "Cause there's a place not too far from here who has the best stakes this side of the country. If you're interested, that is." Gabriel tried to play it off like he didn't care about the answer however his heart was pounding in his ribcage.

"Best stake? This I have to try, where is the place?" asked Dean, seemingly not taking in the posture Gabriel was displaying for what it was. Gabriel saw the slight flush in Sam's cheeks though, could tell that the man was embarrassed. If it was from Dean ruining the offer or the fact that Gabriel was trying to ask him out in the first place, he didn't know. Trying not to sigh, Gabriel forced a smile on his face before turning to look at Dean.

"Yeah, it's on Hampton Street, just off Main. Parking is a bitch but the food more than makes up for it." Answered Gabriel before turning back to Sam. "How about it Gigantor? You wanna grab a bite after work? My treat." Dean seemed to have gotten that Gabriel was asked Sam out on a date as Gabriel could hear the choked cough from the other man. Not turning around, Gabriel focused his attention on Sam who was blushing a bit deeper than before.

When Sam spoke, his voice was hesitant like he didn't know what to do with Gabriel asking him out. "I ummm... I'm flattered really but..." Gabriel's smile fell for a second before he plastered it back on his face, though he could tell but the softening of Sam's expression that the taller man caught the change. It didn't make sense, it was one thing for his Father to challenge him to change things with giving him Sam as his soulmate. It was another for Sam to not even be interested.

"Straight?" asked Gabriel, hopeful that wasn't the answer. While he could change his vessel into a female one, he preferred the one he had now. It had been hard to make his own meatsuit one that wouldn't take away someone else's life and could hold his grace. Gabriel watched as Sam's eyes darted to Dean before looking back at Gabriel. Okay, so not straight but probably in the closet from his big bro.

Shrugging his shoulders, Gabriel saved Sam from answering. He could work with in the closet. "Hey no big deal, just thought we had something going as all. No harm done." Gabriel could see the way Sam was holding himself slightly toward him, and though he couldn't see Dean it was easy to tell when his back was turned as Sam shot Gabriel a grateful smile. Returning the smile, Gabriel chanced a quick look to Dean before reaching into his pocket and holding out a card which Sam easily took.

"Just in case you change your mind." Gabriel spoke softly as not to draw the attention of the other hunter. Sam slipped the card in his pocket while giving Gabriel a small smile. Once the hunters were done, Gabriel locked up behind them, watching as they walked out of the building. Keeping his eye on Sam while he walked away, Gabriel couldn't help but hope that he would be able to figure this out before drastic measures would need to be taken.

Even if he had to lock Sam away from the rest of the world, Gabriel had decided while looking at the slight flush on the other's cheeks and the hesitant smile, that if he couldn't have Sam then nobody else could… especially Luci. "I hope you know what you're doing Dad," Gabriel whispered under his breath while looking out the window to see Dean take off with Sam in the passenger seat of the classic car.

"I gave up my home, but I'll be damned if I give up my mate."
