~*~Dean's POV~*~
Dean didn't believe Sam for a second. Sam obviously has the feather with him. He's probably just scared of how I'll react. But Dean wouldn't overreact. Not again. He was just upset and frustrated that Sammy, His Sammy, didn't tell him what was up.
Sammy likes Gabriel. Dean doesn't like it, but it's true. Gabriel likes Sam, too. It's obvious with the way he acts around Sam.
But Sammy wasn't ready to tell Dean, and that was okay with him. Dean got into the car, Sam came to the passenger's side after a minute. Cas sat in the back, like always.
"Alright, where we off to, Cas?" Dean asked once they were situated.
"Oklahoma." Cas answered.
"City?" Dean implored.
"Oklahoma City." Cas told him.
Dean sent a wink to his angel before turning on the engine and barreling down the road. He glanced in the rear-view mirror to see Cas' facing burning a bright red. Dean chuckled. Cas is adorable. Dean glanced at Sam who was stock-still and pale-white, and still hadn't said a word since entering the car.
"Are you good, Sam?" Sam didn't respond. "Heeeeelllllllllllllooooooooooooo, SAMMY?!" Dean waved a hand in front of Sam, who jerked backwards and glared at Dean.
"Dude, what?" Sam asked, irritated.
"...Nothing." Dean muttered, confused by Sam's response.
~*~Sam's POV~*~
Dean wanted Sam's attention. Sam was trying to think and was very upset when a hand jerked him from his thoughts.
After that, Dean fell silent, the tension in between them was palpable. If Gabriel were here...No! STOP THINKING OF GABE! And his Golden eyes and hair softer than silk and, oh god, that Smirk! No stop. No thinking of Gabe. Quit we're on a case. But he's so cute! "Stop!"
Dean veered off the road and asked "What?" Sam didn't respond "Dammit Sammy, talk! What's up with you lately?" Dean asked.
"Hmm? I didn't sat anything!" Sam said defensively.
"Yeah, you said 'stop'" Dean replied,now confused and angry.
Shit. Shitshitshitshitshit! I didn't mean to say that out loud!
"Oh... I did?" Samwas blushing slightly and Dean just sighed.
"You did. What were you thinking about?" Dean asked.
"Umm, I shouldn't have lied this morning." Sam lied, that being his best excuse.
"I KNEW IT! You have his feather!" Dean said.
"Cas why didn't you tell me?" Dean asked Cas.
He shifted uncomfortably and said "Sam did not want me to. He asked me not to tell." Cas explained.
"I did?" Sam asked as Dean asked "He did?"
"Err, well, he was thinking , and I heard him." Cas said like it was nothing.
"Dude, you went inside my brain without my permission?!" Sam asked, annoyed.
Cas nodded, and they fell silent again. The feather was still warm against Sam's chest, the warmth spreading around his whole body. It felt like he was sitting on clouds, basking in the sun.
~*~Gabe's POV~*~
He heard Sam's prayer. Of course he heard Sam's prayer. Gabriel always heard Sam's prayers. Always. A thousand people pray to him every day, but he can spot Sam's whispering voice in a crowd. A sea of people shouting and Sam's whisper is all he'll hear.
*BEEP—BEEP*
Gabe's phone buzzed. It was a text. From Sam.
Hey! We're in Oklahoma City, come if you want! -Sam
Gabe texted back, I'll come by tomorrow, maybe! See you soon? -Gabe
*BEEP—BEEP*
Okay, great!
Gabriel smiled and sucked on a cherry lollipop. Sam, he thought I can see Sam tomorrow. Gabe took a nap, even though technically angels don't need sleep. He dreamed of Sam, with his longish brown hair and gorgeous loving hazel eyes.
He woke up, still smiling. I'm heading over right now. -Gabe he texted Sam, smiling madly like a fool.
Great! See you in five! :) -Sam
Hey what does :) mean?-Gabe He'd only recently gotten a phone at Sam's request, and he was still new to all the slang.
It's a smiley face.-Sam
Okay, Thanks :-P -Gabe
Wait, so you don't know :), but you do know :-P? -Sam
Yep -Gabe
See ya in a few? -Sam
Mmhmm. -Gabe
~*~Sam's POV~*~
"Dude who you texting?" Dean asked as he came into the living area.
"No one." Sam replied evenly.
Gabriel had just texted him.
Mmhmm. -Gabe
Great! We're in room 42." -Sam
"Seriously, Sam, you've been texting for like ten minutes now. Who is it?" Dean pried, but Sam refused to tell him.
"Just a friend. It's no one."
Gotta go now, Dean's bugging me -Sam
I can fix that. -Gabe
Gabriel don't you DARE send Dean ANYWHERE! -Sam
Relax, Samsquatch, I was just kidding! -Gabe
...Ok, but I still gotta go. Bye. -Sam
Seeya. -Gabe
"C'mon, man! Who was it?" Dean was still trying to figure it out.
"No one. On a completely unrelated note, Gabe's gonna help us with this case." Sam said, biting back a smile.
"Okay, so that's who you were texting." Dean said "Sammy's got a boyfriend! Sammy's got a boyfriend!" Sam turned bright red,
"He isn't my boyfriend!" Sam muttered, annoyed.
"Who isn't your boyfriend?" Gabe asked curious. Sam and Dean jumped, the angel had surprised them.
"No one!" Sam said, blush turning to an impossibly darker shade of red. Gabe wiggled his eyebrows, but shrugged. He turned to Dean while Sam was regaining the ability to breathe and talk.
"What's the case?" He asked
"Vamps nest." Dean answered
"Where's Cas?" Gabriel suddenly implored.
"Food run." Dean said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
***Later that day***
"You and Cas go to the bar and try to find a vampire and track it down to the nest." Sam instructed "Gabe and I will check the victims' houses. Any questions?"
They all shook their heads. "Meet back at the bar at 7 o'clock?" Dean asked and they all nodded.
They went their separate ways.
~*~Sam's POV~*~
They went to the first victim's house and asked to see her room and investigate, because the information would help track her down.
"Alright," Sam said "She's got emails from someone who's email is EdwardvsJacob . Not on her contacts, they didn't know each other in real life,met on a website called ." He opened a new tab and typed that into the search bar.
"Okay, so it's a website where fans role-play and write something called 'fan fictions'. EdwardvsJacob is a popular person apparently."
"So you think he's a vamp looking for gullible innocent teenage girls?" Gabe asked.
"Yeah. Possible. Let's check out the others' houses before jumping to conclusions." Sam replied decisively.
After checking out a few more, they decided this EdwardvsJacob person was probably a vamp, because all of them had emailed him/her and they were all planning to meet in real life. At the bar! After this they just went to the Motel to hang out until 7.
~*~Dean's POV~*~
The bar was a dud. Not one vampire was there, so they decided to have a few beers and talk. So they talked for awhile. But Dean got drunk, and Cas had to zap them to the motel.
When they landed in their motel room, the first thing Dean saw was Sammy and Gabriel talking. They shouldn't be here. They should be working!
"Whdder ooo dunin er?" Dean slurred. Luckily Sam was fluent in Dean so he understood that meant 'What are you doing here?' and while both Game and Cas stared at Dean like he had sprouted another head, Sam said
"We found what was needed from the houses so we came back here. What are you two doing back early?" Sam answered.
"There weren't any vampires at the bar, and Dean had some drinks, and now he is what I believe you call 'drunk'" Cas told them
"Ye..." Dean agreed nodding up and down like crazy.
"So, how many drinks are 'some', Cas?" Sam asked, concerned as his brother nearly fell.
"I lost count." Cas said.
Gabe put earmuffs on, preparing for Sam's 'What the hell did you just do?!' rant, and it came soon after.
~*~Sam's POV~*~
"WHAT?! YOU LOST COUNT?! OH MY GOD CAS! WHY DID YOU GIVE DEAN SO MUCH ALCOHOL?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW BAD IT IS IF A HUMAN CONSUMES TOO MUCH?!" Sam yelled at Cas, who looked perplexed.
"It's bad for humans to have too much? I didn't know. Next time I won't let Dean drink so much, then." Cas said, looking upset and sincere.
Dean stumbled and nearly fell, but Sam caught him, and put him on top of his bed, putting the blanket on Dean. Sam got a glass of ice water and set it on the bedside with a bottle of Advil next to it. Dean was going to need it next morning. Then, Sam wet a washcloth with cold water and put it on his forehead. In two seconds flat, Dean was out like a light, and Cas had left. It was just Sam and Gabe now.
The silence was awkward. God, Gabe looks so adorable right now, the light of the setting sun catches on his eyes perfectly. The feather still in Sam's pocket glowed with a golden warmth, making his body tingle from the strange feeling.
Unable to take the tension and awkwardness, Sam said "Um... I-I'm gonna go to bed now... See you tomorrow?"
"Definitely, Moose." Gabe said.
Sam laughed "Moose? Don't call me that in front of Dean!" He laughed and Gabriel joined in before saying "Bye Sam. Tomorrow?" when Sam nodded, Gabe took off, and the feather stopped glowing, but still felt warm to his chest. Sam went to bed in his clothes, not bothering to change.
