(A/N) I have no words for this... to be honest... I just, the feels will kill.

I'm Gabriel, Skykes is Sam and we're both additional characters.

Enjoy and I'm sorry... ~AidaMae


Sam stared angrily at the screen of his laptop, trying his best to ignore the pestering angel whom he knew to be a figment of imagination. He wanted to scream at Lucifer, punch him, kill him. But you can't kill someone who isn't alive. He slammed the laptop shut and burried his face in his hands, covering his ears as he tried desperately not to scream. Shut up, shut up, shut up!

The sound of another voice made him open his eyes, a familiar voice. He wondered if it's a hallucination as he slowly lifted gaze.

"Congratulations Sammy boy! You are now in possession of a very bored archangel!" The short, brown haired archangel with whiskey brown eyes was laying on the bed being propped up by his hands. "So what are you going to do with your prize?" He added with a smirk and a wink.

Sam looked at the archangel with a kicked puppy-look, his jaw clenched shut tightly as he envisioned Lucifer sitting beside the quirky Gabriel. "Gabriel?" he stuttered quietly.

"No its Castiel. Of course its me kiddo!" He smiled at the moose in front of him. "Now I know, 'Oh Gabriel, what the hell are you doing alive?'" Gabriel mocked Sam's voice. "You see, my brother thought he stabbed the real me but it turns out, that was really the fake me!" The holy being explained, obviously proud of himself.

"Well that son of a bitch." Lucifer hissed, as he started to frown as to where his brother was sitting.

Sam, unsure if whether he believed it or not, sat in stunned silence for a few minutes. "You... You're alive," he breathed quietly, followed by a scoff. "Or is it another trick?"

"Would that not be a redundant question? I am the only trickster alive who would do such a thing to you." Gabriel said as he looked to his favorite hunter. He saw the disbelief on his eyes and he frowned. He sat up on the bed. "Sam, its me. I promise, angels can't lie remember?" His worried little frown never swaying.

Sam took a shaky breath as he glanced again at Lucifer. His eyes squinted just so slightly as he asked a slightly choked, "You're really here?"

"Well, he's not my doing!" Lucifer finally exclaimed. "He's not a part of your imagination, Sammy. Happy?"

"Is everything alright there Sammy?" Gabriel asked, his face full of concern.

"One of the few times my brother has ever said that and it had to be to you. A broken, demonic, stupid child who can't do a single thing without his older brother." Lucifer spat his words poisonous, against his vessel's mind.

"Shut up!" Sam finally snapped, glaring at Lucifer with alarming intensity. "Nobody cares about you daddy issues, and you're not..." He trailed off, his eyes returning to the now slightly frightned archangel sitting on the bed. "I-I wasn't talking to..." He cringed, grinding his teeth together in a way that couldn't have been good for them, and sighed.

"I made Sammy cracked! I made Sammy cracked!" Lucifer chanted in a sing a song voice.

"Uh... Sam? Are you okay? Not having a fight with the devil are 'ya?" Gabriel asked, trying to figure out was wrong. The moment those words flew out of his mouth he wish he didn't say a single word. The sight he saw next, broke his heart.

Sam, in a fit of pure frustration stood up and walked forward to smack Gabriel, as hard as his large arms could. He immediately retracted his hand and stumbled back, sitting back down in his chair. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean-" He drew his hands to his face as tears started to run down his cheeks. He could still hear Lucifer taunting, victorious yet again in making Sam do something horrible.

He hated having the archangel- anyone else for that matter- see him like that, but he couldn't help it as he choked back sobs that caused him to tremble.

The archangel walked over to Sam, sitting on his knees in front of him. "Hey, Sammy, shhh. Take a breath, okay? It was only a joke kiddo." He took the humans' hand and cradled them in his. The hunter still shook trying to fight back the tears. "Sammy, its okay. I'm not mad, I promise. Just take a breath, please? What's going on inside that head of yours." He asked again, whispering as he started pushing Sam's hair out of his face.

Sam took a few shakey breaths and looked up at Gabriel, his cheeks were streaked with tears and his eyes had gone red. He glanced at Lucifer, who had added a dance to his little chant. "It's the hallucinations," he said in a still-shakey voice. "I keep seeing him and they keep getting stronger-it's driving me crazy... And..." He looked back into Gabriel's beautiful golden eyes. "I'm never sure if something's real or not." I'm not even sure if you're real.

"Sam, listen to me. I am real. Please believe that." Gabriel asked, cupping Sam's face. "Sam I would never lie to you. I can't lie to you. Please believe that I am real." If you didn't it'd probably kill me for real.

"Tsk tsk tsk, sssuch a dilemma huh Sammy?" The fallen angel hissed, "Oh, I have an idea. Let's play a game. What's real, and what's fake?" Lucifer asked, then pointed to Gabriel. Soon enough there was blood streaming down from the golden eyes of the angel.

Sam jumped slightly, pulling away from his blood-soaked fantasy. "Stop," he breathed, shutting his eyes. "Please, just, stop." A few more tears streaked down his face before he opened his eyes again, afraid of seeing a dead archangel in front of him, or none. But Gabriel was still there, still alive, still concerned. Sam hoped to Heaven that Gabriel was real, that he was alive and well and in front of him. But how could he? Despite his doubt, Sam collapsed out of the chair and into the arms of the angel to lean his head against his chest, an odd sight since he had a good foot and a half of height on the small angel. "Please be real," he whispered, closing his eyes again.

Gabriel, slowly wrapped his arms around the tall hunter. He pressed his lips to the top of his head. Followed by a hushed, "I am real." then another kiss. At Sam's trembling body, Gabriel hugged the human even tighter. "Hey Sammy, don't worry now, I'm here. Nothing will happen to you, I promise okay? I won't let my brother hurt you anymore." He said, running a hand through his hair, before kissing his forehead.

Sam curled tighter into the angel's grasp, seeking comfort in his touch as Lucifer's voice became more distant and quiet. He looked up at Gabriel, into his bright copper eyes, and believed him. "Don't... Don't leave me again," he demanded quietly, gripping his shirt with his still shaking hands. "I don't think I could take it again..."

The shorter angel cupped the hunter's cheek once again, tipping his head up to look at him "I won't, Sammy. I'll never leave you." He said, looking straight to into Sam's soul through his eyes.

"He's lying, Sammy. Everyone leaves you. Bobby, Dean, Helen, Jo, and even Jessica. He's just going to leave as well as everyone else." Lucifer whispered into Sam's ear.

Sam closed his eyes tightly, trying to ignore Lucifer. "Everyone leaves," he repeated quietly.

Gabriel couldn't take it anymore, seeing Sam like this was killing him. He brought his hand from Sam's cheek to his chin tipping his head up and brought his lips onto the hunters'. As he pulled away, he sensed a presence that he hadn't felt in years. He looked behind Sam, and practically jumped at the sight.

"Brother?" Lucifer asked, also not believing that Gabriel could sense his presence. Gabriel bit his lip, and dropped his arms back around his little hunter. Holding him tighter, hoping to protect him. "Brother," the devil began gritting his teeth, "that is my hunter. He is my vessel. My bitch. Mine. So back away, and no one gets hurt."

"You... You see him?" Sam asked, glancing at Lucifer then back at Gabriel. "And... You..." A light blush colored the hunter's cheeks. "You kissed me." he observed, as though the realization had only just dawned on him.

Gabriel looked back to Sam. "Uh, yeah, I did." A blush creeping onto his cheeks.

"No he didn't." Lucifer stated causing the younger Winchester to look at him. Once he looked back in font of him, Gabriel was still looking up at Sam who looked like he was just been shot. He saw his face masked with worry, bitterness, anger, and the thought of betrayal. This earned a victorious laugh from Lucifer. He looked straight at Gabriel, and gave a satisfy look.

"What did you do?" He growled, teeth clenched, but his comment to no avail. Lucifer was blaring other nosies, causing Sam to get up and start panicking. Gabriel was about to strangle his brother when he suddenly faded as well as the noise. Only for himself did the hallucination disappear.

Sam backed away from the spot he had been sitting, clutched in the now-gone archangel's arms. He clamped his hands over his ears as the room filled with noises, all imaginary of course. "Stop it," he whispered, shutting his eyes. "Stop!"

Lucifer started to cackle loudly as he lit the room ablaze, the hallucinations were growing stronger and Sam was growing weaker, his head throbbing painfully as he tried to block out the sounds and ignore the sulfuric burning smells. He could hear the pounding of his own heart, resounding in his ears while Lucifer continued to conjure more and more sounds that pushed Sam to the edge, making him near the brink of insanity.

Gabriel felt tears escacping and rolling down his cheek. He took a deep breath and prepared for the worst. He placed his hands over Sam's. They felt dead cold and he resisted a shiver. Holding Sam's head still he reached up to his hunter and pressed his lips against the other one. Gentle and loving at first, before pushing slightly harder. Sam's lips stop quivering and Gabriel pulled away before hovering over them. They're lips millimeters apart. "Shhh, Sammy. I'm still here, see?" The angel asked, kissing the hunter once again. "I never left, it was only Lucifer."

"Shut up, brother!" Lucifer spoke the last word like it was a disease. Gabriel refused to move even though Lucifer was shouting into his ear.

"Sammy, please, please, please, please, look at me." Gabriel asked, kissing him after every 'please'. "Look at me, I'm begging you. Just look at me, please." He begged, kissing him one more time. Seeing the human he fell in love with hurting like this, killed him.

Sam squeezed his eyes shut harder. "I can't. You'll just disappear again," he said, tears slipping down his cheeks. "Don't disappear again."

"I won't Sammy, I promise I won't. Don't listen to my brother. You open your eyes, please?" Gabriel asked again, wiping the tears off the hunter's cheek. "Just, please look. For me? For your archangel?" The Angel asked again, pressing their foreheads together. I love you. He thought.

Sam's eyes fluttered open. "How can I believe that?" he sighed. "I don't even know if you're real. I don't know what's real at all anymore. And how could you be?" He lowered his hands from his ears and turned them over so that he was hand in hand with the archangel, he scoffed sadly, looking at their hands. "I want to believe it... Gabriel. I really do." He closed his eyes again, but more in the way of sadness and tire than stress and fear. "I want you to be real, I want it so badly... And that's why I can't believe you."

"Shut up, please, just shut up. I am the real deal, okay? I will do anything, anything, for you to believe me. Sammy, please, I lo- I need you to believe that this real. Do it for me?" Gabriel leaned in again, giving his hunter another kiss. "Please." He begged, letting a few tears roll down his cheek.

Sam released one of Gabriel's hands and lifted his own to touch the archangel's face. He choked on a sob and nodded, wanting so badly to believe it.

"Bleh," Lucifer whined from the other side of the room. "All this mushy stuff is gonna make me sick."

"Shut up, Lucifer!" Sam shouted, tears slipping down his face again. "Just leave me alone..." He opened his eyes again and glared at the hallucination. "Please," his voice sounded resigned, like he had given up trying to force Lucifer to stop and was ready to resort to begging. "Just... Please."

"Then say that your mine, Sammy. Say you belong to me and no one else." Lucifer asked, moving behind to Sam. He pushed the archangels hands off of his vessel. He then placed his hands down the hunter shirt. Rubbing his hands over his chest. He started slowly bitting and kissing Sam's neck. "Say it, Sammy. Let me claim you." Lucifer whispered, sliding his forked tongue up and down the hunter's neck.

This cause Gabriel to clench his jaw and fits. "Stay. Back. You. Sick. Bastard." Gabriel growled, but slightly too afraid to act. "Stay. Away."

Sam shoved the fallen angel away quickly, shock and confusion written over his pain on his face. "I-I... I can't do that," he breathed, his eyes glancing almost imperceptibly quickly to the archangel and back. "Please, Lucifer, there's gotta be something else." His eyes locked with Gabriel's, he didn't want to give himself to Lucifer, but he wanted the hallucinations to stop. Unless Gabriel was one of them...

"Sam, stop that. I'm real, please, let me prove that to you, please!" Gabriel started to move before Lucifer stopped him.

"Brother, Sam, come on now. This is childish. Sam can't tell what's real or fake. He thinks this is because of me, so therefore, I must be the real thing. Which means, my brother is still dead, where he belongs." The fallen angel gave his little speech. Gabriel took a deep breath, before walking over to Sam. He took the taller mans' hands into his.

"Look at me." Gabriel instructed, as the younger hunter looked down. "Think of your favorite place, and tell me what it is."

"Uh, I don't know, Bobby's old house, I guess," he answered, confusedly. "Wha-why?"

Gabriel closed his eyes, and with a woosh they were both with in front of the worn out house. Sam blinked for a few minutes, still not sure that this was real. Gabriel stood on his tiptoes and kissed him again. When he pulled away from his hunter he buried his head into the giant's chest. "Sammy, what else do I have to do to prove that I'm really." Gabriel wrapped his arms around the waist of his giant. "I'll do anything for you, I missed you so much. Did you know I was always looking over you and your brother? I asked my daddy to bring me back. I also asked if he didn't, if he would look over you and asked you to keep fighting for me. I didn't want anything to happen to you, and look what happened, the one thing I had no control over hurts you the most. I messed up and I'm so sorry, Sam. So sorry." At this point Gabriel couldn't stop the waterfall of tears that escaped him.

Sam, at a loss for words, wrapped his strong arms around the small, trembling archangel. "It-it's not your fault," he promised. "Gabriel, I..." he sighed quietly. "It's not you I'm upset with. I just can never tell..." He closed his eyes, wanting to return to when he was cradled against the archangel's chest, being comforted and hushed.

"I'm sorry... we're both pretty broken huh? Maybe that's why I love..." Gabriel, shushed himself before finishing his sentence. He pulled away from his hunter, then taking his hands again, bringing them to some random motel room. No, it was a hotel room. A really fancy one too. The archangel pulled the hunter to a bed, making him sit down. The angel, sat on the hunters lap. Wrapping his arms around his neck. "Sammy, make me a promise." The Angel said, half demanding half asking.

Sam blinked a moment, his thoughts catching up after the sudden change in location. "Okay- sure I guess. What is it..?" he asked with a slight frown.

"Promise me, whenever you see me, no matter what, you will believe that's it me?" Gabriel asked, looking straight into Sam's hazel brown eyes. They were so beautiful.

"I-I..." Sam took a deep breath and relaxed for a moment, he rested his hands on Gabriel's waist. "I promise," he said sincerely. "And Gabriel?"

"Yeah?"

"I... I love you, too."
