There will be Sabriel along with the Destiel in here later, just saying.
Why?
Because I ship it.
Sam is kind of bitchy in this chapter... Oops
XXXXXXXX
"Who are we finding again?"
"My brother."
They were on the road again.
"Was...he...?" Cas shook his head.
" He was not sold. He was older. He was smart, good with science. I particularly remember chemistry being his favorite, as he could make small bombs with the chemicals." Dean winced. That had been Sam with geology at one school in Arizona. The kid had been picking up rocks for weeks afterwards.
"And his name is Gabriel, right?" Sam asked tentatively. Castiel nodded.
"As of last year, he was stationed in Maine."
Sam had finished the case, a quick salt-and-burn, and had come off with only a few bruises. Plus, they were in Massachusetts, which was pretty close to Maine. So they had decided to look for Castiel's sibling, as Cas had wanted to find him.
They drove up to Maine.
Not much happened. A few scathing statements about how Sam drove Dean's 'baby'. A few threats to put on Celine Dion. Dean asking Cas questions. Castiel not knowing how to answer. Patching up wounds. Sleeping in the car. Eating junk food.
The only sacred topic was Cas', Dean's, and Sam's pasts. It was too much of a touchy topic.
Sam had known something was up with Cas, though he hadn't asked. Dean and Cas were absolutely inseparable, and Sam knew that it was a personal issue. It was still annoying. Where one went, the other was close behind. And Sam didn't want to be the third wheel in whatever the hell those two had going on. But he was dragged along anyways.
So they drove, and drove, and drove some more.
Until they made it.
It was an abandoned back road when Cas told them to pull over.
"Cas? What is it?"
"He... Is here." Sam turned the wheel and veered off the road.
"How can you tell, Cas?"
"I have visited once." the way he said it made Dean worried, but he didn't ask.
Sam looked at Dean, and the older brother shrugged. Sam shook his head, but they got out of the car. Cas led the way into an old car lot.
It was disgusting. Shacks had been built, then left to rot. The whole place seemed to teem with rust and contagion. Dean and Sam exchanged wary glances, and shivered. Dean walked by Cas, supporting him as they called out for Gabriel.
For long minutes there was no reply, and Sam Was about to call it off, when they saw a man stumbled out of one of the shadows. They all turned to see the short, brown-haired man limp out. He had a pink lollipop, which he pointed at Castiel.
"Hey there, little brother! Long time, no see!"
Castiel made a sharp noise, and walked slowly towards him.
"Gabriel." he breathed, as the shorter man grinned and pulled Castiel into an embrace.
They looked nothing alike. Where Cas was tall and lanky, this man had a thicker build. Castiel's eyes were big and blue, while Gabriel's amber eyes were almond shaped.
"Heya, Cassy." Even their voices were different; Gabriel's laid back drawl had a hint of a Southern accent, while Castiel's growl was lower pitched, with no real accent.
"Are you even related?" Sam couldn't help it.
The brothers broke their hug. Gabriel stepped closer to Sam, standing on tiptoes to even out their height difference a little.
It didn't work.
"What, Gigantor, ya can't see the family resemblance?" Sam made a bitchface at him. Dean smiled as the shorter man cracked up. He whirled around slowly to face Cas.
"Caaaaaaaaaassy, these guys have no sense of humor!" Dean snorted, watching Sam fidgit. Sam's hulking 6'4 frame hid a pacifist. Gabriel's 5'3 clearly concealed a sassy joker.
Cas saw Dean's amusement and smiled. Gabriel followed Castiel's gaze to him.
"Hola, Prettyboy!" Dean looked at Cas, internally screaming.
"My name's Dean." Gabriel nodded.
"Good. You're not pretty, anyways, Deano. Gigantor here's more of a catch, I should call him Prettyboy!" Sam turned beet red, and Gabriel winked.
Cas shook his head, watching the interaction. Dean stepped closer to him.
"He doesn't know, does he?" Castiel shook his head.
"I...I can't." Castiel whispered. " he's all for revenge, he would murder if he knew he could get away with it." A shiver went down Dean's spine as he glanced towards Sam and Gabriel having some sort of animated argument/flirtation thing. "I...I can't." he was shaking, and Dean stood even closer, so their arms were touching.
"It's okay."
