The door to the two story house was kicked open as Dean Winchester stumbled over the threshold carrying a couple of boxes. Behind him stood his younger brother Sam Winchester who chuckled and followed Dean. Down by the car Castiel Novak was arguing with his brother Gabriel.
"Dammit Gabriel, carry your things! I will not carry everything for you!" Castiel scolded. John Winchester smiled over at the two brothers before carrying another of Dean's boxes into the house. Mary and Eve chuckled as they carried a box each inside.
"Will you two idiots quit arguing already?" Castiel turned around and frowned at his father after both boys had gotten smacked upside the head. "The way I see it, neither one of you are moving anything inside. So get to work." Castiel nodded and rubbed his head before shoving a box into Gabriel's arms and grabbing another.
"Their going to argue whether you tell them to stop or not Chuck. It's how they've been since they were kids, their brothers it's practically mandatory." John smiled and grabbed another of the boxes from Dean's impala, this one had Sam's name on it.
"Yeah but not while I'm around, their getting on my nerves. They've been arguing since we left the house and that was by far the longest two hours of my life." Gabriel shrugged and marched through the front door almost running into Sam.
"Move Gigantor, I need to get this upstairs before I decide to just drop it here." Sam rolled his eyes and moved to the side.
"Gabe my room is on the left you better not get your crap mixed in with mine again!" Gabriel turned back to Sam and smiled widely.
"You do realize half or all of the things in this box are yours after you left them at my house right?" Sam scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"I didn't leave anything at your place, you always stole my things."
"Touche moose." Gabriel smirked and ran up the stairs just as Castiel walked in and gave Sam a soft smile.
"I do apologize about him, if you would like, I will have him return everything he ever took." Castiel was answered with a shrug.
"Don't worry about it Cas, really it's fine, I'm not sure why he takes my shirts though. They never fit him anyways..." Castiel smiled and walked towards the stairs.
"Oh um, Cas your room is just past the stairs. Dean took the last room upstairs so you got stuck downstairs..." Castiel smiled and nodded.
"That's fine. I do not mind in the slightest." Castiel marched towards the back room, finding he had his own restroom and placed the box down, Eve walked in dragging his luggage and looked around.
"Not bad, you guys have a pretty big home and you have your own bathroom. The boys upstairs have to share, lucky you." Castiel smiled and looked around already planning where he would put up pictures.
"It is quite spacious, I'm not sure what I will do with half of this space." Castiel sighed looking at the cushions against the wall and the bed frame that had yet to be assembled.
"Trust me, this might not be enough space for you. You'll grow accustomed to it and besides you still have to buy some furniture and before you know it everything will be crowded in here." Chuck smiled and placed another box by the door as he walked in.
"That's the last of your things by the way." Castiel nodded and looked around again.
"Are the other rooms this big?" Eve shook her head and wrapped an arm around his waist as they started walking out to check the rest of the house.
They walked out of Castiel's room and paused by a door finding it was another closet before walking past the steps into the living room. Castiel kissed his mom's cheek and walked past the staircase towards what he assumed was a dining room that connected to the kitchen with an island in the middle. Cas looked around and found there was a hallway down the right side of the kitchen that had three doors, one led to the backyard, the second one led to a set of stairs going to the basement, and the last one led to a huge laundry room with two washers and two dryers. He smiled and walked back down the hallway and up the stairs to check on the rest of the rooms.
When he reached the top of the staircase he saw a total of six doors, five along the walls and one on the ceiling which he realized must lead to the attic. There were two doors on each side of the hallway and one at the very end. When Castiel opened the first closed door on the left he found another closet, the first door on the right held a medium sized bathroom. With a shrug and smirk he walked towards the three open doors. Sam was unpacking books from his boxes in the second room on the left side of the hallway, Gabriel was laying on the floor digging through a backpack of candy trying to find another lollipop presumably. Dean was in the room at the way end of the hall, when Castiel walked in he smirked and looked around at the small room while Dean stuffed some clothes into a dresser.
"Hey Cas, how's the house?" Dean looked over his shoulder at Castiel and smiled.
"Uh sorry for y'know sending you downstairs while the rest of us are up here..." Dean rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably while leaning against the dresser behind him.
"Oh no, it is perfectly fine. My room is way bigger anyways and I get a whole bathroom to myself. So thank you Dean." Castiel smirked as Dean's eyes widened.
"Oh hell no! There is no way you have the biggest room!" Dean shoved past Cas who was still smirking and watched as the other two boys heard Dean and followed him downstairs. Castiel walked calmly and smugly downstairs following them and smiled at their parents who were busy talking about their business' in the living room before following the other three boys.
"Son of a bitch! I knew I should have looked through the house before choosing a room!" Cas chuckled softly at Dean as he walked in seeing all three boys looking around the room with wide eyes.
"No kidding, Cas you can fit both mine and Gabe's room into this room. It's freaking huge!" Sam looked over jealously at Cas and crossed his arms.
"Not to mention the bathroom is half the size of Dean's room. It even has one of those showers with three different shower heads." Castiel watched as the three boys pouted and admired the size of the room.
"Cas switch with me!" Dean pleaded.
"No way, you chose your room and now this one is mine, however you three are more than welcome to come down and visit me whenever you please." Dean rolled his eyes and walked out to complain to his parents, of course with Sam and Gabriel tailing him. Castiel chuckled and followed behind.
"Shut up Cas we get it your room is practically like a mini house all to yourself." Gabriel mumbled before sitting next to their mom who instantly wrapped her arms around him.
"So not fair! He hardly has anything anyways, why does he get the big room?!" John chuckled at Dean's complaints and rolled his eyes.
"You chose Dean, now hush that mouth of yours already." Dean groaned loudly and nodded towards his mother before they all sat on the couches.
"I can't believe our babies are all grown up already, Mary, just look at them. It seems like only yesterday your boy Dean came to Castiel's rescue against a dog." Eve smiled looking at the two boys who were busy having a thumb war.
"Not to mention when your son Gabriel distracted my Sammy in preschool from crying when I had to leave by offering him some of his candy." Mary smiled and ran her fingers through Sam's hair before reaching over and squeezing Gabriel's hand softly.
"Oh don't forget the time we got stuck babysitting all these brats while you two decided to have your women's night out every other Wednesday!" John grumbled and yawned before wrapping an arm around Mary and smiling as Chuck took Eve's hand.
"So when are you guys heading home?" Dean looked at both parents who shrugged and smirked.
"Want us out that bad, even after we gave you such an amazing life and even had the four of you grow up together. I am genuinely hurt Dean." Chuck wiped away his nonexistent tears and smiled.
"No, of course not , we were just wondering is all." Sam gave a small smile and glared at Dean.
"Well we were planning on stopping by Bobby's to see how their doing and then heading home afterwards and for the hundredth time Sam, I have known you since you paraded around in diapers. Drop the ' ' already." Sam nodded as a blush crept along his cheeks and John looked down at his watch and stood up.
"If we're planning on getting home before it gets way too late then we should be heading out now." Mary nodded and stood up along with everyone else.
"Don't forget to eat boys, I know how all of you get when you become too focused on one thing. If I find out that you boys are starving I will personally drive up here to beat some sense into all of you. You hear?" Mary placed her hands on her hips and glared at the boys, who all nodded and smiled.
"Good, now come and give me a hug." Mary opened her arms and pulled her sons in for a huge hug while Eve did the same, before the boys were pulled to their fathers.
"Well let's be on our way then." Chuck walked towards the open door with John and turned back to see the women still standing their with their hands on their hips.
"I am not going anywhere until I have gotten a hug from my boys!" Mary crossed her arms and looked at John.
"My thoughts exactly Mary." Eve nodded and looked back at the men all by the door.
"Have you women gone senile? You just hugged your boys." Dean and Gabriel chuckled softly as Sam and Castiel rolled their eyes.
"Last time I checked we raised the boys together. Castiel and Gabriel are as much of my boys as Dean and Sam are Eve's" Mary looked at the boys who were all smiling at their mothers.
"So I for one am not leaving until I get a hug from my sons" Eve opened her arms wide as Dean and Sam made their way to her. Gabriel smiled and walked towards Mary's outstretched arms as Castiel wiped his eyes and followed suit.
"You do not know how much hearing that means to all of us, thank you." Castiel hugged Mary tightly while John and Chuck shook their heads smiling.
"Awwww little baby Cas is crying!" Dean reached over and pinched Castiel's cheek and was rewarded with a glare.
"Oh for the love of...Can we go now? I think we've all had enough chick flick moments today." John groaned and walked out the door with Chuck, Eve, and Mary in tow.
After the boys all said goodbye to their parents they each went their separate ways to finish unpacking with promises to go out for pizza and beer at dinner. Dean was the first to finish and spent a few hours talking with his girlfriend Lisa on the phone. Sam spent the next couple of hours before dinner reading and texting his girlfriend Jessica, while Gabriel sorted all his candy into different spots and unpacked a few boxes of Sam's shirts he had stolen over the years. Castiel finished unpacking all the boxes in his room and was struggling to fix the bed frame before he finally gave up and went upstairs to Dean, he hesitated at Dean's door knowing how his best friends mood changes completely when he was talking to his girlfriend. With a sigh Castiel knocked on the open door and waited until he looked up.
"Hey Dean, I can't seem to fix that trap made in hell that we call a bed frame...I require some assistance..." Castiel rubbed his arm uncomfortably and watched as Dean placed his hand over the phone and glared.
"Cas I'm on the phone, I'm busy, go ask Gabe or Sam. I can't keep taking care of you every time. It's exhausting, I have my own life too you know. You need to start learning how to do things on your own and stop relying on others." Cas bit his lip and nodded before turning around and closing the door behind him. Dean's words hurt him more than they probably should have and he wiped his eyes before looking up to see Sam and Gabe standing in their doorways with pitiful looks on their faces, having heard the conversation.
"Hey uh...Cas I can...you know help you..if you want.." Sam gave a small smile trying his hardest not to make it seem even more awkward and embarrassing for the blue eyed boy.
"Yeah bro, come on let us help. We'll fix it for you." Cas glanced at the two boys and gave a small smile before shaking his head and walking past them.
"I'm grateful for the offer but Dean was right...I need to learn how to do things on my own...I'll um...I'll meet you guys at the pizza place down the street once I'm done." Sam watched and looked over to Gabe before sighing and rubbing his neck.
"Sorry, Dean is a total dick when it comes to being interrupted on the phone with Lisa." Gabe smiled and rolled his eyes.
"Samwich I grew up with you guys, I know. We both do, I just think it's harder on Castiel because they were closer to each other than they were to us. Just like how we grew up closer to each other than we did to them." Sam nodded and glanced at Gabriel's clothing before sighing again.
"Why are you wearing my shirt again Gabe?! I just bought it last week!"
Gabe looked down at the shirt and smiled, "It's more comfortable. Besides it smells like you and reminds me of home so it's fine right Sammy?" Sam rolled his eyes and nodded before retreating into his room to grab his phone and wallet.
"Let's go then shall we?" Gabe nodded and grabbed his things before walking into Dean's room.
"Get off the phone already we're starving, let's go eat!" Dean rolled his eyes as his stomach grumbled and nodded before hanging up on Lisa and grabbing his leather jacket.
"Fine, but only because I'm hungry right now, otherwise I would have kicked you out of my room like I did with Cas." Gabe rolled his eyes and followed Dean downstairs where Sam was waiting.
"Yeah yeah, whatever you say Deano. Besides why would you need to talk to her so much if you have her in almost every freaking class this semester?!" Dean shrugged and looked down the hall towards Castiel's closed door.
"He's not coming?" Dean looked over at Sam who merely shrugged.
"Said he'll meet us there once he finishes fixing the bed frame. Douche move by the way, you hurt his feelings Dean. Try to be nicer next time he's our best friend, you didn't have to say it the way you did."
"Yes mother, now are we going to stand around here all night or are we going to go get some grub? Because my stomach is eating itself over here." Sam sighed and walked out with the other two boys in tow.
The walk to the Tony's pizza parlor was a short five minute walk in which Sam and Dean argued about who's girlfriend was better and why. Gabriel tuned them out and spent the walk playing a game on his phone. Once they got there they ordered a large meat lover's pizza for Gabe, Castiel, and Dean. Sam went to the salad bar and filled up on what Dean liked to call rabbit food.
Half an hour passed since they got their food and Castiel still hadn't shown up. Gabe looked at the almost completely devoured pizza in front of him and Dean and looked over to Sam.
"Shouldn't he be here by now?" Sam looked at his watch and nodded.
"Yeah, but maybe he's on his way as we speak?" Gabe nodded and looked down at his phone, not before noticing Dean's constant glance at the door and out the window towards the direction of the house as he bounced his leg impatiently.
Sam exchanged a look with Gabe and smiled softly at his brothers worried expression. "Dean, why don't you just call him?" Sam questioned before shoving a forkful of salad in his mouth.
"I'll give him 10 minutes and then I'll call." Gabe smiled and went back to playing his game, satisfied with the answer Dean had given. That happiness was short lived when 10 minutes had come and gone and Dean never called. There was no sign of Cas either.
"Maybe we should head back?" Gabe offered and Sam nodded before grabbing a box and putting the remains of the pizza inside for Cas.
"It's been over an hour and a half, I think that's a good idea." Dean got up and quickly walked to the door looking to make sure the other two were behind him. At the speed they were walking they ended up home in two and a half minutes.
Sam unlocked the door and stepped inside before being shoved aside by a worried Dean, he couldn't help but share a smile with Gabe as they watched him.
"CAS?! WE'RE HOME!" Dean yelled out while making his way to Castiel's room. Sam placed the leftover pizza in the fridge and raised an eyebrow before following Gabriel and Dean to Castiel's room.
Sam smiled watching Dean fidget in front of the closed door with his hand floating just above the doorknob. "Dean just open the door already for fucks sake." Gabe growled and smirked at Dean's glare before he opened the door.
Sam smiled at the sight before them. "He's been here this whole fucking time?! And I was worrying for nothing? You've gotta be shitting me!" Dean sighed and ran his fingers through his hair as Gabriel stepped over the sleeping boy and grabbed a couple of pillows and a sheet. Sam slowly knelt next to Cas and pulled the tools out of his hands before gently lifting him up and carrying him out towards the living room.
"I'm going to stay here and fix this damn thing, I swear he can't do anything for himself." Dean picked up the tools and set to work on fixing Cas' bed.
"That's not true Dean, he knows how to cook, clean, and take care of us when were injured. Hell he even went grocery shopping, that fridge is filled with pie, salad, and chocolates. Not to mention the milk, cereal, eggs, and other things he picked up for us. He went shopping and got us all things we love while we were out eating. So be nicer and apologize tomorrow understand?" Sam and Gabriel glared at Dean until he finally raised both hands and conceded defeat.
"Good, don't stay up too late. We have class tomorrow and then we have to go furniture shopping with Cas. I'm turning in early so goodnight my annoying dirtbag of a best friend/unrelated brother." Gabe ruffled Dean's hair and gave Sam a hug before walking out and covering Castiel with the sheet and heading to bed.
"Night Dean, like Gabe said don't stay up too long." Sam reached over and patted Dean's shoulder before going to bed.
"I am so not looking forward to tomorrow. Stupid school, stupid shopping, ugh and stupid apologizing... whatever sooner I finish the sooner I can go to sleep." Dean mumbled and continued to work while thinking of all the things they needed to buy the following day, that they could put in Castiel's room when they wanted to hang out.
