Title: Again & Again & Again
Author: OpheliacAngel
Genre: Drama/Angst
Summary: EO Special Challenge: Tag to one of the episodes that Jeremy Carver has writing credit for. I chose Mystery Spot, my favorite episode. Dean sees Loki after each of his deaths, only, he doesn't remember any of this. And the trickster expecting him to doesn't change things. Double Drabble.
A/N: I also give credit to Madd Aless for the idea. I'm not using romance as a genre because although I tend to write a lot of Dean/Gabriel, I'm not labeling this drabble as that. You can call it that if you want to, if you squint, but I just labeled Gabriel's interest in Dean as being bored, feeling unloved and having nothing else better to do with his time. Hope you enjoy, sorry it's late.
Dean picks at the lavish bed beneath him. The room is extravagant, fit for a king but Dean finds no comfort in it, no sense of home.
Where the hell am I?
"Just somewhere I happened to find on short notice."
He turns abruptly, looks Loki up and down, isn't the slightest bit pleased to see him.
"What the hell are you...?"
And then he's gone.
...
"Happy to see me again?"
"What do you mean again?"
Loki crosses his arms, walks closer and Dean scoots back hurriedly. He would rather die than trust a trickster.
"What's the matter?" Loki grins, "Afraid I'm gonna bite?"
Dean asks the question again, a wave of black rushes up on him before the answer.
...
Gabriel stares down at the hunter, knows he'll wake up soon and freak out, try to stab him with something pointy. He doesn't care.
He always brings Dean here after ripping him away from Sam, tries to give Dean peace for just a few hours. There's never any appreciation in his gaze, only mistrust. Hatred.
Is it too much to ask that Dean remember, one time out of the hundreds he's woken up here?
Gabriel sighs and sends him back.
