So, first published story on this site! Yay! It's going to be multi-chapter, but I have no idea how to end it, so... yeah. We'll see how it goes.

Enjoy the story!

Sam Winchester let out a sigh of relief. Finals were over, at least for this semester. A sudden wind picked up, causing his thick brown hair to rustle slightly. He grinned slightly, glad it wasn't too long. A little wind wouldn't hurt.

His eyes scanned the campus grounds, sure someone was watching him. A girl on the opposite end was looking the other direction, but he couldn't help but hover his gaze there for a minute. She was pretty, with her blonde hair pulled into that side ponytail. He had been finding himself staring at her a lot lately. If he had the guts, he'd ask her out. But not yet. It wasn't the right time.

Shaking his head, he resumed looking for his "stalker".

There. About twenty feet away, behind the tree. A man, maybe a year older then him, staring intently at him. His green jacket wasn't very noteworthy, but Sam felt like there was something significant about it. The man's dirty-blond hair just brushed his shoulders, his strange, golden eyes never breaking contact.

Sam furrowed his brow, not sure what the man could want, but found himself walking over to him.

"Um... Hi."

The man was now grinning slightly. "Hey."

Sam cleared his throat. "Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked, getting straight to the point.

"Is it a crime to gaze upon such magnificent, tall grace and beauty?" The man replied, still grinning.

"What?"

The man chuckled. "Too intimate for the first date, huh?"

"What?"

The man reached up, just barely able to ruffle Sam's hair. "You gotta stop saying that."

Sam raised an eyebrow. "Did one of the guys send you over? Is this a joke?"

The man shook his head. "Nope." He held out his hand. "The name's Gabriel."

Sam shook it hesitantly. "Sam."

Gabriel nodded. "So, Sam... You busy tonight?"

He shook his head. "No... Why?"

Gabriel shrugged. "I've been kinda lonely lately, hoping to make some new friends."

Sam looked Gabriel over again. "You... Are you a student here?"

"Well..." He waved his hand. "I'm just joining this coming semester, checking out the place."

"Ah." Sam shifted his backpack to the other shoulder. "Well, if you want, I can show you around. Maybe..." He shrugged. "You can come hang at my place later."

Gabriel nodded. "Sounds great. I'll bring pizza."

Sam chuckled. "As long as you also bring salad, too."

Gabriel chuckled. "Even now, into the rabbit food, Samsquatch?"

"What do you mean...?"

Gabriel waved his hand. "Never mind. I talk to myself a lot."

Sam nodded, finally smiling. "Well, come on, then. I'll show you around."

Gabriel grinned. "Thanks, Samsquatch."

Sam shook his head. "I suppose you like making up weird nicknames for people, too?"

Gabriel shrugged. "It depends on the person."

As they left the tree, Gabriel muttered, "Only if I really like them."

"That actually was... amazing."

Gabriel grinned. "Better than the salad?"

Sam shrugged. "I mean, the salad was pretty good, too."

He riffled through his pocket. "How much do I owe you?"

Gabriel shook his head. "No, it's okay."

"Come on, how much was it?" Sam insisted.

"Nothing," Gabriel replied. "I made it."

Sam's eyes widened. "You made it?"

Gabriel chuckled. "Don't look so surprised. I can make pizza if I want."

Sam narrowed his eyes. "It tasted a lot like CiCi's to me."

Gabriel rolled his eyes. "Who's to say I didn't used to work there?"

Sam grinned. "Fair enough."

They were sitting on the edge of Sam's bed, a laptop open in front of them. Gabriel yawned.

"It's getting late. I should probably get out of your hair."

Sam shook his head. "You don't have to leave. I mean..." He smiled sheepishly. "I am looking for a roommate."

"Really?"

Sam nodded. "My last one graduated last year, and this place really needs two people."

Gabriel grinned. "I'm flattered, Moose."

Sam closed the laptop, shifting positions. "Okay, what's with the 'Moose' and 'Sasquatch' thing?"

Gabriel chuckled. "It's 'Samsquatch'." He shrugged. "I think it fits you. I mean, your name is Sam and you're way taller than anyone I know."

"And 'Moose'?"

Gabriel ruffled his hair. "I dunno. You've just always been 'Moose'."

Sam raised an eyebrow. "There you go again. Am I supposed to know you from somewhere, or...?"

Gabriel shook his head. "I just talk like that."

"Huh." Sam shrugged, letting it drop.

"So, about moving in..."

Sam nodded. "I understand if you don't want to, at least not right now. With the holidays and everything, you probably want to be with your family."

Gabriel shook his head. "Not a chance. Haven't seen them in forever; pretty sure they hate me."

Sam smiled faintly. "Yeah. Know what you mean."

"You would, wouldn't you?" Gabriel muttered. "I forgot that's common ground."

Sam coughed. "Okay, now I'm freaked. What the hell are you talking about?"

Gabriel sighed. "Never mind."

"No, seriously."

"You okay, Sammy?" He suddenly asked. Sam blinked.

"Um..."

Gabriel gently pushed him into the bed. "I think you've had a little too much to drink."

"No, I..." He shook his head, eyes unfocused. "I'm just tired..."

Gabriel nodded. "I'll bring my stuff over while you rest."

Sam nodded sleepily as Gabriel pulled the covers up over him. "Okay..."

"Sweet dreams, big guy," He whispered as he closed the door softly.

Gabriel sighed. "That was a close one, idiot."

He went into the other room, and with a snap of his fingers an arsenal of furniture, toiletries, and clothes appeared. He sank into the new couch as the clothes flew across the room and into the dresser; hands on his face.

"I'm never going to make this work. I should go back."

There was a loud rumbling sound coming from the other room. Gabriel started for a second, then relaxed. He chuckled.

"My little moose sure can snore," He said fondly.

He felt something warm settle in his chest, and found he couldn't stop smiling. "Heh. My moose," He repeated. "My moose."

He shook his head. "Nope. Still totally worth it." He absentmindedly summoned a chocolate bar and began munching away.

"I just have to be patient."

Okay, Gabe. Quit freaking Sam out. I hope you'll be more careful in later chapters...

Anyways, please review!
