"Do you think we should tell the boys about merging our hospitals?" Mary looked over to where Bobby, John, and Chuck were watching a game and drinking beer.
"They aren't going to take it well. Especially since Dean and Sam already have girlfriends. I definitely don't see Dean bowing down that easily." Ellen set three cups of tea in front of them before taking a seat by Eve.
"You're right, but they still need to know. Why don't we just tell them this weekend instead?" Chuck nodded and looked over at the women.
"Well at least we know Gabriel and Castiel will have no trouble with it. They've had the biggest crushes on your boys since they were little." John nodded and took a drink from his beer before chuckling.
"At first I thought it was admiration towards my boys, but anyone can see clear as day how much those boys fell and I'm happy for them. Now if only someone would open my children's eyes then maybe we could get somewhere." John took another drink and looked at his watch.
"Now that their all living in the same town as us, maybe I'll see their faces around here more often." Bobby stood up and went to the kitchen for another beer.
"We'll see, depends on how busy their lives become." Mary smiled and looked at the picture of all the boys at the lake, that was set as her screensaver.
Sam woke up at 5:30 and decided to go for a jog, he stumbled around the dark room until he found the light switch and got dressed.
"Sammy! Shut the hell up, it is too freaking early for you to be awake. These walls aren't as thick as you think you know!" Sam chuckled at Dean's complaint and finished getting dressed before walking into his room.
"Now that you're awake, go for a jog with me."
"Are you nuts? It's not even time for the damn sun to be out, why in the hell should I be out running?" Dean pulled the pillow over his head and grumbled when Sam yanked the sheet off of him.
"Dean I didn't want to say anything but you leave me no choice. You're getting fat. You eat too much pie and you don't work out enough. I don't think Lisa is going to like a fat Dean too much." Dean sat up instantly and threw the pillow at Sam.
"I'm not fat, shut the hell up. I'll show you how in shape I still am." Sam chuckled as Dean got up and grabbed some clothes.
"For the love of God, will you shut the hell up and let me sleep?! Ugh I need a candy." Gabriel grumbled as he rolled out of bed and made his way to his dresser filled with lollipops.
"Gaaaaabe! You're awake! Go running with us!" Sam wrapped his arms around Gabriel's shoulders and let his body go limp. Gabriel grunted and held tight to Sam's arms while trying to stay upright.
"Samsquatch as much as I love you, there is nothing you can say that will make me want to go running at hell-thirty in the morning. Also you do realize you're freaking heavy! I can not carry you! Get off!" Gabriel unwrapped Sams arms from around his shoulders and smiled triumphantly when he heard the thud of Sam's body hitting the ground, followed by a loud groan.
"You ass! That hurt!" Gabe shrugged and stuck the lollipop in his mouth.
"Fine, I'll buy you as much candy as you want for the next month but you have to go running with me in the meantime every morning." Sam watched as Gabe pondered the offer and smiled when he saw Gabe sigh and nod.
"As long as I don't have to waste my money let's go." Sam nodded and got up, tossed a pair of Gabriel's sweats at him before walking out to meet Dean in the hallway.
"We'll be downstairs, hurry up." Gabriel groaned and got dressed and made his way downstairs to find Castiel waiting with the other two boys. He shot him a confused look as Castiel shrugged.
"I tried to pretend I was still asleep, kind of hard to do when the Winchesters decide to flip the couch you're sleeping on over." Gabe glanced from Castiel's frowning face to Dean's smirking one and finally to Sam's huge grin.
"So I guess we're all running in the mornings from now on then?" Castiel shrugged and zipped up his jacket before jogging out the door with Dean and Sam in tow.
"Don't worry, I'll lock up." Gabe grumbled before closing the door behind him and followed the boys.
Gabe chuckled as he passed Dean easily, "What's the matter Deano? Too much pie?"
"Shut the hell up" Dean grumbled and huffed following behind Gabriel and Sam as they slowly ran side by side.
"How is Castiel way the hell up there and not winded yet?" Sam questioned after about thirty minutes of silent jogging.
"We're more fit than we look, Samwich." Gabe winked and sped up to catch up with his brother.
Sam looked back over his shoulder and gave Dean an exasperated look before slowing down to jog by his side. "I didn't think Castiel and Gabe could run this long, here I was thinking we were way more fit than them." Dean grunted and looked up seeing the high hill they were coming up on.
"You have got to be kidding me." Dean huffed and pushed himself up the hill with Sam beside him having trouble as well. When they got to the top they were met with Castiel and Gabriel's smiling faces.
"I thought you were in shape Sammy, you're as winded as Deano there." Gabe chuckled and looked to Castiel.
"I agree, you eat healthy and run every morning. I fail to see why you are that worn out." Sam shrugged and took a few deep breaths and laughed when he saw Dean give up and drop on his back.
"Screw all of you and being in shape. Cas we never see you running how the hell are you perfectly fine? Even you Gabriel...I don't understand it. What is this sorcery?!" Cas smiled down at Dean and shrugged.
"I don't run but it felt good, I should do it more often. The look on your faces is payment enough for this hard work." Castiel wiped the sweat off his face and stretched a bit.
After a few minutes of Dean's complaints, Gabriel's whining to Sam about candy, and Sam holding the lollipops above his head away from Gabriel they finally decided it was time to head back down the hill. Castiel and Sam decided to race to the house. Castiel smiled in victory when he ran the last few feet in front of Sam and touched the door first.
"Damn, I thought I had you!" Sam panted and leaned against the door as Castiel chuckled and unlocked it.
"I wasn't even going full speed, you're slacking Winchester." Sam rolled his eyes and followed Castiel into the house after seeing Gabe and Dean jogging side by side a ways away.
"You better run upstairs and shower before they beat you to it." Sam nodded and took off, Castiel smiled and went to his room to shower as well.
Castiel set his clothes on his bed and walked into the bathroom. After peeling the jacket, shirt, sweats, and underwear from his sweaty body he wrapped a towel around his waist and looked up at the shower. He couldn't for the life of him, understand what was so amazing about having three shower heads. He just found it plain weird.
When he stepped in the shower and turned on the water he gasped in awe. Water pelted his skin all around as he closed his eyes and dropped his head under the showers. He smiled at the feel of water cascading over every inch of his body.
"I love having this bathroom." Castiel smiled and reached for the shampoo. He froze when he saw Dean opening the shower door and stepping inside in all his glorious nudity.
"W-what are you d-doing?" Castiel's eyes widened as he turned away from Dean, a blush forming on his cheeks.
"I'm showering. Dude you have the biggest bathroom in the whole house. Not to mention the fact that it has three freaking shower heads. So scoot over, by the time Sam and Gabriel are done showering there won't be any hot water. So I'd rather shower now, before that happens." Castiel nodded facing away and scooted closer to the wall on the opposite side from Dean.
"C-can you pass me the shampoo please..." Castiel stretched out his hand and took it from Dean.
"Cas, relax. This isn't the first time we've showered together. You have nothing to be embarrassed of." Castiel nodded and quickly washed his hair while sneaking glances at Dean's back every few seconds. He watched as the water ran along the tight muscles and bit his lip before turning away and washing his body.
"You can have the rest of the shower, I'm done. I'm going to go make breakfast." Dean grunted in response and looked over at Castiel.
"Hey Cas...thanks for grocery shopping and um not forgetting the pie." Cas stopped midway out of the shower and smiled back.
"Thank you for fixing my bed." He wrapped the towel tighter around his waist and looked to his room. He looked back through the shower's glass doors, letting his eyes slide down Dean's body one last time before walking out of the bathroom. He quickly got dressed and went to the kitchen where he ran into a blushing Sam.
"Are you alright?" Cas quirked an eyebrow before reaching up to feel Sam's forehead. Sam smiled and nodded and pushed his hand away gently.
"Yeah, Gabe just stormed into the bathroom naked and shoved me out while I was getting dressed." Castiel chuckled and shook his head.
"Dean stormed into the shower with me." His face flushed as he ducked his head and rummaged through the fridge.
"Sorry about him." Sam took his coffee and went to the table. Castiel took out almost all the ingredients he had bought the day before and set to work on making breakfast for everyone. While he was cooking Gabriel walked into the kitchen and danced under Castiel's arm to grab the cup of coffee his brother had already poured for him.
"Extra-" Gabe was cut off when Castiel pulled out a bag of chocolate chips and smiled.
"Extra chocolate chips, I know. You have always had a major sweet tooth." Gabriel placed a huge sloppy kiss on Castiel's cheek before walking to where Sam was smiling amused and sitting next to him. Castiel groaned and rubbed his cheek before grabbing Dean's coffee and placing it on the bar in front of him so Dean would have an easy access to it.
Dean walked in not even a second later and smiled at Cas as he grabbed the coffee and sat across from Gabriel and Sam.
"Sam can you come help me please?" Cas looked over to Sam who nodded and stood up coming to the counter and collecting the plates Castiel had set out.
"Cas, you didn't have to make us all different meals you know..."
"No you didn't but thank you it's delicious!" Dean said behind a mouthful of bacon.
Castiel had made Sam a plate of eggs with spinach, bacon, a small bowl of fruit, wheat toast and a small side salad. Gabriel had scrambled eggs with cheese melted on top, sausage, bacon, and extra chocolate chip pancakes. Castiel made Dean an omelette stuffed with bacon, sausage, and ham. He also made Dean extra strips of bacon, and cut him a slice of pie.
"Cas you are an angel sent from heaven." Dean mumbles and shoves another forkful of food in his mouth.
"You're exaggerating but I will take that compliment." Castiel quickly washes the dishes and looks up to see three sets of eyes on him.
"You're not going to eat?" Cas looks at Gabriel and gives a small smile wiping his hands on the towel by the counter before picking up his coffee in a to go cup and grabbing his backpack from the side of the counter. While throwing it over one shoulder he makes his way to the table and steals a piece of Sam's toast. Sam smiles when Cas gives him a half hug and walks around to Gabriel and kisses his cheek. Castiel takes the piece of toast and takes a bit before ruffling Dean's hair and walking towards the door.
"This is enough for my breakfast, I have class at 8:30, which is in 15 minutes so I will see you guys later." Cas waves leaving the three boys staring at the door.
"Who the hell applies for classes at 8 in the morning?" Dean turns back to his plate and takes another bite.
"Apparently my brother." Gabe finishes his food and walks to the kitchen to wash his dish. After all the boys finished their food and grabbed their things, they made their way to class.
Castiel took courses fully based on medicine and becoming a doctor. Gabriel did the same but decided to take the courses during the afternoon. Dean took classes to become a mechanic and Sam studied to become a lawyer. They all agreed to make sure they would eat dinner together so they made sure not to get night courses.
When everyone had finished classes and met up at the center of the courtyard, Castiel was practically jumping in excitement. As he rounded the corner he saw Gabriel first and he felt his smile slip away at Gabriel's annoyed look.
"Gabriel? What's wrong?" Gabriel looked up at Castiel and tossed a thumb over his shoulder in the direction that Sam and Dean were coming. Castiel immediately knew why Gabriel looked annoyed. Attached to both of the boys hips were none other than Lisa and Jessica. Castiel met Gabriel's eyes and bit his lip. Both boys knew they each had feelings for the Winchester brothers.
"Hey guys!" Castiel forced a smile on his face and looked up to Sam.
"Hello Sam, Jessica." He nodded towards the pair.
"Um what's wrong with Gabe?" Castiel looked back to see his brother pouting and gave him a look.
"Er...he...ran out of candy.. during class.." Castiel smiled back at the confused boy.
"That's weird...Gabe always packs enough-"
"Hey Cas, listen Sammy and I want to take the girls to the movies. We'll see you guys later at home alright?" Dean cut Sam off and pulled Lisa close.
"What about the furniture?" Cas clenched his fists and shoved his hands into his trench coat.
"Cas we could do that any other day, better yet why don't you two go and do it. We'll meet you guys back at the house." Without another word said Sam, Dean, Lisa and Jessica turned and walked off towards the impala. Gabriel sighed and threw an arm over Castiel's shoulders before walking towards the store.
Castiel pulled out his phone after it started ringing and held up a finger to silence Gabriel who was talking about how fat Jessica looked.
"Hello mother, how are you?"
"Castiel, we just saw each other yesterday and I'm the same as I was then, perfectly fine. Listen, we want you and the boys to come down here for dinner this Saturday. Around 6:00, we won't take no for an answer. We'll see you boys then. Mary is already talking on the phone with Sam as we speak. I love you sweetheart, bye for now. Give Gabriel a kiss for me!"
Castiel looked at his phone and sighed shoving it in his pocket. "We have dinner with the Winchesters on Saturday at 6 back home." Gabe nodded and went about choosing what couch should be in Castiels room.
By the time the Novak brothers had finished choosing, paying, and carrying the furniture from the store back to the house it was already time for dinner. Castiel decided on spaghetti and made a plate for everyone. The brothers waited for Sam and Dean for half an hour before finally digging into their food.
While Gabriel washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, Castiel covered Sam and Dean's plates and left them on the stove. He then proceeded to put the leftovers in the refrigerator. Gabriel smiled at his brother and they both went into Castiel's room to set up the rest of the furniture.
By the time the boys finished moving things around and connecting wires it was half past 11. They stood at the doorway to Castiel's room and admired their work. On the wall by the door the boys had assembled a huge bookshelf already filled with Castiel's books. Against the left wall was the full sized bed with nightstands on each side. On the wall to the right the brothers had set up Castiel's flatscreen and racks for games on the sides. Underneath the flatscreen there was a table with the PS4 and XBOX One. In front of that there was a couch and coffee table. On almost every open surface on the walls, Castiel and Gabriel hung up pictures of the whole family, Dean's whole family, and every moment ever caught on camera.
The boys smiled at each other and collapsed into the couch when they heard the front door open.
"WE'RE HOME!" Cas sighed hearing Dean yell and looked over to Gabe who stood up with him and walked out into the dark hallway, stopping by the light switch.
"Dean shut up! They might be asleep already its almost midnight, and all the lights are off." Sam tried to hush his brother and bit his lip when the light flicked on.
"No we're not asleep. We just finished fixing Castiel's room. Where were you boys?" Gabriel crossed his arms and Castiel leaned against the wall watching the two boys who were smiling sheepishly.
"We went to the movies with Lisa and Jessica. You knew this already." Dean shrugged off his jacket and laid it along the back of the living room couch.
"That was at 4:45, it is now currently 11:52pm" Gabriel glared at Sam and Dean.
"What does it matter Gabe, we were spending time with our girlfriends. Give us a break." Sam yawned and watched the Novak brothers warily.
"No Samuel, you give us a break. You two assholes have been on a break since 4:45." Cas pushed off the wall and shoved past the Winchesters, who looked at the blue eyed male surprise written in their expressions.
"Geez Cas, what's up your ass?" Dean was the first to recover and walked to the counter with Gabe and Sam following. Dean and Sam leaned against the counter while Gabe watched from the dining room.
"Nothing is up my ass Dean Winchester. Next time you two want to break a promise it would be nice if you would inform us first." Cas grabbed the plates from the stove and walked to the dining room.
Dean and Sam shared a confused look while Castiel and Gabriel shared one of annoyance. "Cas, we didn't break any promises, what do you mean?" Sam questioned while rubbing his eyes and yawning.
Castiel lost his patience and slammed the plates onto the table, causing the three boys to jump. "Thank you Dean and Samuel Winchester for missing dinner. We tried waiting for you but obviously it was wise not to. I hope it's to your tastes. I made sure to add just a pinch of you're both an asshole and a dash of kiss my ass and don't speak to us for awhile."
Gabe chuckled softly at the outburst and shook his head as Castiel stormed past him into the room. They all waited until they heard the door slam to speak.
"Dude what the hell? It was just one freaking dinner."Dean looked over at Sam who shrugged confused as well and looked at Gabe.
"It wasn't just a dinner Deano. Cas always missed first dinners in a new house whenever we moved because he either had something to do or was sick. He was looking forward to going furniture shopping with all of us, fixing his room and the rest of the house together, and then making dinner for all of us to enjoy together. Cas was looking forward to it and you both let him down." Gabe shook his head disappointed and looked up at Sam.
"Well how the hell were we supposed to know?" Dean sat in front of the plate with Sam next to him.
"We grew up with him Dean...we should have known, we made sure we always lived next to their family. He's your best friend how did we not know? I saw the way he looked at school when we left...I should have said something." Sam looked down at the table and then apologetically at Gabriel.
"Oh no you don't, not this time Samuel. Your apologies won't be accepted this easily...I'm with Cas on this one. Next time you two want to break a promise, a little bit of a notice would be appreciated." Gabe shook his head at the two boys and sighed. "I'm staying in Castiel's room tonight have a good night gentlemen" Gabriel turned and slipped into Castiel's room.
"We messed up big time didn't we?" Sam looked over to Dean who simply nodded and bit his lip.
"Yeah Sammy...we did, Gabe hates when we break our promises but no one hates it more than Castiel...shit." Dean sighed and rubbed his face before looking down at the food in front of him.
"Well we better make peace before Saturday." Dean nodded and stood up.
"I'm turning in early we'll plan something out to apologize with tomorrow, night Sammy." Sam nodded and put the food away before turning in also.
Gabriel ruffled Castiel's hair and borrowed some shorts before taking over the couch. Castiel smiled at his brother and shrugged, "Do you think I was a little harsh with them? I mean obviously they didn't realize their mistake..."
"Cas, I love Sam...you love Dean...we have since we were kids, I think seeing them with their girlfriends actually made us more pissed off but that doesn't mean they can go and say one thing and do the complete opposite. So no, I think you did great." Castiel smiled and turned out the light before sliding under the covers of his bed.
"Night Gabriel."
"Goodnight Castiel, let's go for a run earlier than them."
"Yeah how's 4:30 sound?" Gabriel groaned before agreeing and slipping into dreamland with Castiel close behind.
