Author's Notes: I own nothing except my OCs.
Gabriel
I skidded to a stop in the front hallway and bellowed, "Food's ready kiddies. We have company so please try to act civilized you animals. And Eva if you're going to say something mean keep it to yourself." Eva popped her head around the left corner at the top of the stairs and pouted, "I wasn't!" I heard Grace scoff from the right side of the stairs. Everyone else peeked out of their rooms, there was a book hanging from Castiel's hand. "Guys there's company, hurry up!" They all started to come out curious as to who was here. It was like a stampede as they all tried to come down at once there was definitely some shoving and I couldn't help but sigh. I was about to reprimand them when I heard something I'd never heard before. The others looked confused as well and I started toward the dining room where the sound was originating and the others followed me. My heart ached when I finally found what the strange noise was, Alondra was laughing and I realized I'd never actually heard her laugh before. I focused on the whole scene and saw Sam was giggling as well and Dean was rolling cups from his shoulder onto the table setting them upright perfectly like one would an apple. He was also humming a tune I noticed and was now spinning the napkins to make them look like they were dancing and letting them fall into an elegant swirl. Alondra started to hum along and I realized what they were humming. "'Be Our Guest' seriously you watch Disney movies?" Dean almost dropped the pitcher he was currently using to fill up the cups and blushed. "Well yeah they're classics," he pushed up his glasses. Sam pouted, "I'm hungry!" Dean shushed him and Sam seemed startled by this as if Dean had never denied him anything. "Sam's right we should eat," Alondra said motioning toward the table walking to a seat next to Dean who picked her up to put her in her seat making her squeal happily. Eva and Grace looked at their respective favorites. Michael firmly shook his head no at Grace and Lucifer ignored Eva completely walking to his seat. I wasn't the only one to notice as Dean came over and asked, "You wanna try?" Grace smiled politely and nodded happily and Eva shrugged trying to look nonchalant. Dean smiled and winked at Grace before swooping up Eva causing her to gasp and then let a giggle bubble out as he twirled her before setting her down next to Lucifer who glared at Dean. Dean ignored Lucifer and repeated the motion with Grace who giggled much more freely than Eva. Michael looked surprised at her laughing and everyone else looked impressed. Castiel was actually staring at Dean rather intently and, when Dean sat down where he could keep an eye on both Alondra and Sam, he sat down next to Dean. Dean smiled politely at him and Castiel quirked up one side of his lip which startled everyone but Alondra and I. That's the moment I realized that Dean was going to change everything.
Castiel
I was intrigued by this stranger in my house although I knew the younger one's name I did not know his. He had green eyes framed by rectangular glasses and a dusting of freckles not too many to be unattractive although he had them everywhere I could see. He had on a baggy Batman shirt and torn jeans although I suspected they had not been acquired in this state. "You are a geek," I stated as to which Gabriel choked on his drink. He just stared at me with amusement and smiled, "Wow tell us what you really think," he seemed to think for a moment before continuing, "Castiel." "Do not take offense," I explained realizing my social blunder, "I myself am an outcast and Alondra is an abomination." He raised an eyebrow at the latter comment. "Socially speaking in environments like a school," I explained farther, "I keep to myself as does Alondra and with her being only six and in second grade she gets a hard time. Eva and Grace are very popular as Eva has a way of humiliating others which many of my peers find amusing and Grace is found to be 'adorable' so even though they also skipped a grade they are accepted. Alondra however is closed off and unnerves many people." "Thanks Castiel." "I do not understand why you are thanking me." The stranger chuckled and Lucifer scoffed, "Thank you Castiel for another of your elightning rants but I doubt our guest understood half of it." "His name is Dean," Alondra spoke up, a rather unheard of thing for her, "and he's our new neighbor as is Sam. I'm telling them now they can come over whenever they want and you're going to be nice," she finished with a tone that held no argument. There was a stunned silence I admit I myself was a bit taken aback but I suppose it is not surprising that the only time she stood up to Lucifer was to defend someone else. "Alondra please," Michael chided, "that is very unlady-like especially since you are only six." "Okay why does everyone talk so weird in this house," Dean interrupted Michael and probably avoiding a fight, "I mean I haven't heard a conjunction in a while. It's freaking me out." "I use conjunctions," Anna boasted and I felt something bubble up inside of me at the way she batted her eyelashes at Dean and it was with no little surprise I realized it was anger a dark possessive anger. "Wow what a rebel," Eva drawled. "Shut it shrimp," Anna snarled. "Make me," Eva challenged eyes flashing dangerously making Grace scoot away. "Holy cra-cow your eyes are red!" Dean blurted out. Eva smiled proudly, "Yes they are. I like to freak people out with them. Although I find Alondra's much creepier they're so dark. Like a black hole just waiting to suck you in." Alondra lowered her eyes though Dean ruffled her hair, "I think they're wonderful. But uh I like your eyes too they match your dress." (They did, the triplets all wore the exact same dress in different colors. Alondra wears a completely black one, Eva red with black trim, and Grace white with gold trim.) Eva rolled her eyes using her fork to behead the Spongebob characters in her food. "Hey," Dean suddenly said looking to Gabriel making that feeling come up again, "you said you all have religious names but I don't see it in the triplets." "Well their names are semi-religious. Grace as in an angel's grace, Eva her real name is Evanna but no one calls her that as she hates it and we fear for our lives but Evanna means God is gracious we also shortened it to Eva so that it would kind of sound like evil, and Alondra isn't really an angel. Daddy dearest picked it out apparently because her eyes were as brown as the dirt of the Earth he thought her to be not only an angel but a defender of mankind which is what Alondra means." Dean nodded and I asked "What were you named after Dean?" He blushed and cleared his throat before saying, "Sammy and I were named after our deceased grandparents. Sam was named after Samuel Campbell and I was name after my grandmother Deanna Campbell," as Lucifer snickered and Gabriel smirked, Dean continued quickly, "so how about you Cas what are you named after?" "Cas?" "Sorry I give people nicknames a lot. Gabriel is Gabe or twixster, Lucifer is Luci, Michael is Mikey, Sam is Sammy, and Alondra is little sister or honey. Eva, Grace, and Anna's names I haven't decided." Some of my family members looked pleased at their nicknames or lack of any while others did not. "Hmm will you already know I am named after an angel." "Yeah but like which one? Gabriel is the messenger, Michael's the first, and Lucifer is… everyone's favorite you know the morning star most beautiful all that sh-stuff until his fall." Lucifer nodded, "I like him keep him." I ignored him and told Dean, "Castiel is the angel of Thursday." Dean raised an eyebrow at this and I felt myself flush. "Cool as is your trench coat even though you're inside. Trench coats rock! So many pockets," he said before continuing to eat making everyone follow suit. I knew Dean would change my life forever.
