-Present-
Somewhere in the middle of Miami where it was night, was a motel. In that motel lay two brothers, one asleep; shaking, crying and heartbroken and the other awake and he was praying to his archangel to come.
"Gabriel get down here please, I need you." Sam whispered knowing that the archangel would hear.
"Sam what's wrong?" Gabriel asked appearing right behind Sam sitting on the same bed as the hunter. Normally there would have been some humorous witty comments passed between them until either one backed down. However as much as that was the typical Modus Operandi of the couple, Gabriel could see that Sam needed him to be serious. He could also see the anger, the hurt, the worry and the sadness in his lover's eyes.
"What's happening to him? He's been like that since he came to find me after he left Cas." Sam asked looking over at the sleeping form of his older brother.
"It's the bond. It's broken." Gabriel said without even having to look into Dean's head. He stood up and pulled Sam out of the room so they were stood on the balcony outside the motel room. The moon was bright above them as they stood leaning against the balcony looking over it.
"When an angel falls in love a bond forms between the two people involved. The angel starts to feel more possessive of their lover and it leads to jealousy. Sometimes the jealousy can be so bad that it can cause the bond to break. If it does both of the people in the relationship are in both physical and mental pain from it. It's literally like your heart becomes tied together with theirs." He explained to the younger Winchester brother, there was something in his voice that hinted that he wasn't just talking about Castiel and Dean.
"Jealous like you coming on every hunt I go on?" Sam asked scowling into the night. As much as he didn't want to admit it, he understood what had happened; especially now he knew of the bond in its entirety.
"Yes, exactly like that." Gabriel nodded, his hand ghosting across the barrier of the balcony and resting on Sam's. Sam moved his hand away staring over the balcony trying to process the information. Some Angel magic was screwing with his brother and it was happening to him too. A part of him was pissed off because with the bond he couldn't deny it, but another part of him was shocked, if the bond was because the angel was deeply in love then it wasn't fate or anything, it was true feelings. He was so confused, but then he remembered the state Dean was in.
"You said something about the bond being broken for Dean and Cas. Is that what it does? Makes you like that?" Sam asked managing to keep composed, but just barely. Gabriel couldn't speak, so he just nodded, he knew that Sam was struggling with everything.
"Can a bond be reformed?" Sam asked suddenly, he had a plan, but he wondered if it would actually work, after all his last brilliant plan hadn't. He killed Lilith for revenge after Dean had gone to hell, but instead jump starts the apocalypse.
