Hello my darlings. Well here it is. The final instalment in the 'To' series. The way I am laying this is out will be like a series of one shots or short stories, so the chapters will actually have titles and everything.
I'm hoping that it will give an overview of the happy ever afters of all the characters while all their dreams come true.
Now without further ado, time to enjoy the leaving party.
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.
The music pounded out of the open door of The Roadhouse, not that Dean Winchester would call this racket music. In fact just the thought of even associating it with his classics made him shudder, and even more worryingly, he had even found his body shaking along to some of it. (Yeah Dean-o. come on baby, shake it off.)
But no, definitely not music. No Matter what his future brother-in-law had to say about the matter. In fact the choice of entertainment for Gabriel and Kali's leaving do left Dean with the distinct impression that they were both completely tone death and suicidal, I mean, they were play Taylor Swift. Taylor freakin' Swift, and next, was karaoke for god's sake. Gabriel was even trying to get Dean to sing. Him. No way in hell was he going to do that. He would have to be truly evil to inflect that on the people here. (Oh how I do love slipping supernatural reference into my stories, it keeps me all happy).
Castiel on the other hand was a grand old time drinking too much and partying with his brother one last time. Since Gabriel had found Kali again and they had got engaged he and Castiel had spent more time together, knowing that In a matter of months Gabriel would be leaving the town for good (don't worry he will visit regularly, after all he had to provide Dean with his pie). As such they had been making the most of it. Therefore he was happily dancing in The Roadhouse to whatever music Gabriel put on. Though dancing was probably the wrong word for the movement he was making, Gabriel found them rather entertaining if not a little odd. No that he was any better, his dancing had a definite air of bad dad dancing to it. Ah well hey they were having fun. (I'm sure they were.)
Then it started, the part Gabriel was most looking forwards to, and Kali was dreading if she was honest. It was karaoke time. (Hell's yeah.)
Gabriel made his way up to the stage with his performance partners at his side. He was going to miss Matt and Rob when he moved, but hey, they could always come and visit him, surely he could find a karaoke bar in New York for them to torture. But right now he had a plan. Turning to the boys beside him he smirked as he took one of the microphones and hit play on the sound system.
Once again the intro to One Direction's 'What Makes You Beautiful' sounded out around the room making everyone inside fall silent, for even those who hadn't seen their last rendition on the high street had heard of the display. And they were all very interested in seeing their own version of the boy band live on stage. (Wouldn't we all be?)
Kali on the other hand was tempted to put her hands over her face and run for the door. Did he really have to do this again, here? But of course she knew the answer, he was Gabriel, and this was what he did. So forcing a smile to her face she looked up at the stage and caught the twinkle in her fiancés eyes. What was he up to now?
"Hey people. Now for those of you who don't know, this is a song which is close to my heart, having sung it to the love of my life before asking her to marry me the first. She said no, but I was persistence and she is now mine. So this one is for you Kali-ko. I think it sums you up rather well."
With that Gabriel, Rob and Matt all pulled the collars up on their shirts and rolled up their sleeves making them look like bad extras from the movie 'Grease', before taking up their microphones. (I would say for the last time, but that would be a lie. These boys like any excuse to sing after all.)
"You're insecure, don't know what for,
Turn heads when you walk through the door…"
And with that Gabriel was off, as were the though two. And what was the most worrying about this performance was that Kali (and Dean) had a sneaky suspicion that they had practiced, after all their dance moves were almost in sync and everything.
Then Gabriel jumped of the small makeshift stage and walked up to Kali as he did that day in front of her store and sang straight to her
"You don't know that you're beautiful,
That's what makes you beautiful…"
And as the music faded away Gabriel once more got onto one knew and smiling up at her spoke.
"Kali, my love, marry me and make me the happiest man?" he asked with a cheesy grin on his face and she couldn't help it, Kali laughing, held up her left hand to show the simple but elegant diamond ring that had lived in his draw for 15 years finally on her finger where it belonged.
"Sorry Gabriel, but I'm already taken, and I don't think my fiancé wound like it if I yes." She replied with a mock, serious tone in her voice.
At that Gabriel stood, picking her up and spinning her round with a kiss before putting her back down and speaking.
"I have it on good authority that you future husband will always like it when you say yes to me." He replied with a cheeky grin before his tone and the look in his eyes suddenly turned serious. "I love you Kali, and I'm never letting you go."
And just as soon as if appeared, it was gone. Serious Gabriel morphed back into the trickster that they all knew and loved and turned back to his audience, persuading them to get up onto stage and murder some song for the entertainment of all. And so the evening went on.
Gayety and fun was had by all until they only ones left where Ellen behind the bar cleaning up, Bobby on his stool the permanent fixture, Sam and a pregnant Jess resting in a booth at the back, with Charlie, and Cas and Dean, arm in arm as they murmured drunken sweet nothings into each other's ear. In fact the booth they sat in was the same one that Gabriel had sat in when he had first seen Kali in 15 years.
Grabbing the love of his life Gabriel pulled her to him and started dancing once more, though this time with her in his arms. Not that there was any music, as such he started singing One Direction once more, though slower this time, making Kali laugh and shake her head at him before she spoke.
"Why do I have the horrible feeling that we are going to be dancing to that song on our wedding?" she asked wirily then closed her eyes at the light that appeared in her lover's eyes.
"What a brilliant idea." Gabriel replied with a smile on his lips as he dipped her and bent down to place a gentle kiss on her lips. "Though I think we're going to be dancing to it every day for the rest of our lives." He mumbled before pulling her up and smiling once more, the both of them in their own little world, or at least they were until Deans dulcet tones broke the spell and made them join the rest of them for a last drink.
That night Gabriel stood at the window of his apartment with a glass of water in his hand as he stared out at the dark high street of the small town that had been his home for the last 15 years. The place that he had so many memories, good and bad. The place where his brother was happily settled with his soon-to-be husband. He couldn't believe that in a year and a half both he had Cassie had found their happy ever afters with their perfect partner, Castiel had Dean, and he, Gabriel, he had his Kali. Speaking which…
Gabriel leaned back when he felt Kali's arms come up and around him.
"Hey hon, what you doing up?" He asked as he turned his head to nuzzle into her hair.
"Missing you. What are you doing up Gabe?" Kali replied as she leaned against him counterbalancing his weight and resting her head against his shoulder.
"Just taking one last look at the view." He replied turning back to the darkness outside.
"It's not like your leaving the town forever town Gabriel. We'll be back in two weeks for Castiel and Dean's wedding." Kali replied gently, she understood what he meant despite her words.
"I know, but…" Gabriel said with a shrug, he really couldn't explain it.
"It wouldn't be the same?" She suggested moving so her chin was resting on his shoulder and she could see the view, or lack thereof, for herself.
"No." Gabriel replied with a smile at her words.
"Are you regretting leaving?" She asked, it was a thought that had crossed her mind more than once since she and Gabriel had got together and started to agree the move back home.
"No. I could never regret any decision that means I get to be with you. It's the right time to go. Cassie doesn't need me here anymore. Time for me and you now." Gabriel replied turning in her arms so that they were now face to face and he could pull her to him.
"Good. I love you Gabe." Kali replied in a whisper against his lips.
"I love you too Kali-ko." Gabriel replied before sealing the words with a sweet and deep kiss. They then both turned and went to their room. They had an early start the next day after all. They had to make their way to New York and the start of their new life together.
(Ah, ain't that sweet.)
