He had to. He had to do it. He HAD to leave. There was no other option or way to go about it. Michael and Lucifer were starting to get way out of hand and Gabriel had no other choice. No one could try and talk him out of it either, not that anyone knew of this decision of course, but still he was pretty sure that no one would be able to.
If there was one thing in all of heaven that could have, if gone about the right way, gotten him to stay it would have to have been his baby brother; Castiel.
Castiel.
That very name alone could proven to have been the one hitch in his plans to skip out of heaven. His baby brother looked up to him, idolized him in a sort of way even. Leaving all so suddenly would just crush the young angel.
Though as much as it would Castiel, as well as Gabriel, it had to be done.
Part of him wished, just wished, that he could take the youngest of the angels with him but he knew better. Castiel would be better off here with their brothers and sisters; not on Earth among the humans and pagan gods.
"Gabe?" A soft voice had asked only but a few nights ago. "Where are you going big brother?"
He might have been able to hide his thoughts from Michael, Lucifer, and ever one else but, for some reason, Castiel had seen right through that. "No where Cas, don't you have training to do?"
There was a pause. "You'll come back right?"
Gabriel bit his lower lip before answering. "I dunno Cas..."
Another pause as the two angels stood there still, neither of them moving. "I love you Gabe..." was barely just heard for it came out in a whisper.
The archangel froze, having been caught a bit off guard by that. "I love you too Cas..."
A while after he was sure that their 'I love you's' had come to mean two different things but it still made his heartache, or the angel equivalent to one at least. "I'm sorry Cas..." He muttered before snapping his fingers, leaving his brother there.
