Returning to Dean, his eternal mate, made Gabriel feel better after what he had done in Heaven. the memories that had been brought back by being in his old home. Appearing in Dean's 'personal space' Gabriel wrapped an arm tightly around him and just held him even as Dean startled. Even as Castiel moved to intervene before he saw who it was and he relaxed slightly while he moved to their side and touched his brother lightly. Happy to see Gabriel alive and well after Lucifer had killed him. Sure Dean had told him that Gabriel had been returned by their Father but hearing it and seeing it were different things.
"I am glad to see you are well, Brother...I was saddened to hear of your death."Gabriel looked at his littlest brother and couldn't help but to be deeply touched. Here was a brother that truly cared, after all the greetings in Heaven by endless siblings who probably hadn't noticed he was gone for centuries, here was Castiel actually caring. Even after what he had done to him,perhaps his..wants were not so misplaced. So while still holding Dean, Gabriel pulled Castiel to him and hugged him tightly. Castiel was rather stiff for a while until finally he relaxed and returned it. Gabriel moved his wings around them all and was shocked to not have wings answering his embrace. His little brother was basically a human now, why would his Father allow this to happen when he had spoke of having plans. So why was Castiel allowed to Fall so quickly and completely.
"Well, well, little bro. Aren't you a surprise. I've missed you too. And don't worry about it, we'll fix you right up. Can't very well leave my youngest bro to a life of boring mortality, now can we."Dean hit him in the arm and Gabriel turned to him with a smirk and leaned into him. Nipping at his bottom lip while letting his hands run over his mate's body. Once Dean moaned, Gabriel pulled away to the frustration of Dean, who tried to pull him back but as no one can move an angel let alone an Arch unless they want you to, Dean had no luck."Now then, how long have I been gone?Heaven is son dreadfully boring it feels like years but since your as lovely as always, it obviously ain't so."Dean rolled his eyes at Gabriel's antics but was to happy to have him returned to him that he let it go.
"You've been gone for two weeks and if you ever go that long again without getting in touch with me again, I will lock you in Holy Fire so I always know where you are. Understand,you feathery bastard." Dean wouldn't admit it but he had been terrified that the angels had taken Gabriel hostage, that they were unwilling to allow him to leave again after so long. Dean had even been thinking of getting himself killed so he could attempt a rescue mission, Heaven style. SO far Sam, Bobby and Cas had managed to prevent it but he had been getting desperate. At Gabriel's gasp,he looked up and saw his shocked face and Dean knew that he had been reading his mind. Which caused him to wince, that was not something he wanted his lover to know.. Wanted no one to know how...how much Gabriel means to him and how terrified he is to losing him. Be it to Heaven, to death again or to simple lose him because soon he will be killing his brother.
Gabriel cupped Dean's face,"I would never allow them to keep you from me, nor would my Father but if you ever think about or even have a brief contemplation of taking your own life then I will lock you away in another of my realities until you learn. Your life is mine, your soul is mine, your heart is mine, even your body is mine, not Michael's. Everything that is you is MINE. God himself said so and any who dare argue that fact shall suffer the consequence. Even you, my Dean. Never forget that or I will be forced to remind you of it. Over and over again until its in your thick head.."
Castiel jerked at the knowledge that Dean had been planning his own death,that he loved Gabriel enough to do thus. It hurt. Both the thought of Dean dying again, with no way for him to help him and at how deeply Dean loved his brother. And oddly enough it hurt Castiel how caring and loving Gabriel was being to Dean. When before Castiel had only ever seen that side of Gabriel when it came to Michael and Lucifer. Never anyone else and Castiel wished that he could experience that side of his brother for himself and he knew he never would. Why would the Archangel Gabriel, God's Messenger, the Angel of Judgment and Revenge show any true interest in a Fallen seraph, a nothing. When Gabriel had Dean, beautiful Righteous Dean who's soul had sung to him when he still had the ability to hear it.
"I...I can't lose you again, may make me a girl to admit but I just can't, I need you just as I need air. So if you do that again don't expect anything good to come after ward."Gabriel smiled and nuzzled Dean's neck."Don't worry, Deano. Dad intends our union to be permanent. I'm never going anywhere ever again. You and I are it...It's not like before..Not like with...I won't lose you and you won't lose me. The time of lose is over with, I will see to that even if it means..losing Luc. You and I are here to stay."Dean pulled Gabriel's face to him and kissed him, putting all of himself into it to express with the physical what he wasn't willing to in words. It worked, sorta as Gabriel had the ability to read his thoughts so technically he got what the physical meant and what he was thinking.
"Now then, Heaven is preparing for what we came up with. Soon we will meet up with the ones I sent to Earth and we will begin to cleanse the Earth of all that is evil...Well, all that is supernaturally evil. We're not going for Paradise after all and will thus still have human evil."Gabriel smirked viciously,"I can take care of them after this is all over. Gotta have my fun after all...Anyway, Michael is going to start coming to us and I need you to brace yourself for it, Dean. I know that the fact he's in your brother won't make you happy but it is the only Vessel he can be in outside of you. And you are off limits to all angels but me...and Cassie here obviously. So, will you try to work with him for the greater good?"
Dean really wanted to say no, wanted to say Hell no actually but he knew that he couldn't. Saving the planet mattered more than who Michael was riding in and while Adam had been tricked, in the end he had said Yes so there was no true choice about any of it. Not to mention that Michael was Gabriel's brother no matter what else and Dean was already going to kill one brother, he wasn't going to throw a fit and drive another one away. After all, maybe Gabriel would pick Michael over him. Especially after Lucifer's death, Gabriel might just decided to leave Dean behind and return to Heaven now that he was welcomed. Pushing Michael might just drive Gabriel further away then the murder of Lucifer. Michael hadn't killed him after all.
"I will. Adam let him in so I will be civil as possible to him...Just try to keep it brief." Gabriel let out a breath he didn't need in relief, having feared the explosion about to occur. Dean had handled the situation remarkable well, of course he didn't know that Michael had once been his lover and had just tried to Be with him again. So once he found out the truth he may not react quite so well."Thank you, Dean. And I will keep him away from you as often as I can." Before he could continue a voice came from behind them and it was not happy.
"Where the Hell have you been, you asshole? Dean has worried himself sick over you once again disappearing."Was how Sam announced his presence to the room. Dean turned swiftly to his brother, about to yell at him when there was a snap sound and then Sam was gone. Dean turned so quickly back to Gabriel that it was a miracle he didn't give himself whiplash.
"Gabe, where'd you send him?"Dean was not at all reassure by the smirk sent his way, not one bit but he was distracted by the kiss sent his way. Gabriel was one hell of a kiss and always had been. Though Dean supposed that made sense as he had been doing it for thousands of years and was thus expected to be great. Hell, Dean was a great kisser after only thirty years of experience so Gabriel was phenomenal. So it was understandable that it took a while to pull himself together enough to pull away."Gabriel,
where is Sam?"
