"I can't believe you told him!" Jimmy hissed to Gabriel.
"Have you ever tried saying no to the guy when Castiel isn't around to tell him to back off? He's annoying as fuck!" Gabriel hissed back. "I swear that he had two guns and a knife on me!"
"One gun and three knives, midget man," Balthazar called idly from across the room, not looking up from the book he was reading. "You two aren't exactly quiet, you know." Jimmy flushed and Gabriel rolled his eyes, giving Jimmy a third once-over. Jimmy sighed.
"I'm not dying, Gabe," Jimmy said. "And I can't believe you compromised my cover because he's annoying as fuck!"
"Hello, I am still in the room," Balthazar said but he was ignored.
"Did you miss the part about the knives and the guns? Balthazar doesn't have a bounty on his head because he's annoying!" Gabriel hissed. Jimmy glared at Gabriel and Gabriel glared back.
"Why'd he have to get me?" Jimmy demanded.
"Now sweetheart, you say it like it was a chore. Really, it was my pleasure," Balthazar winked.
"I sent him because I don't trust short stuff, Cas," Dean said, coming into the room. Your Jimmy jumped and Balthazar rolled his eyes. Dean strutted up to Jimmy, wrapping an arm around his waist. "You coming down with something? Your voice is getting high." His arm tightened around Jimmy's waist in warning to everyone else- what Jimmy recognized to be possession.
"I remain in good health, Dean," Jimmy said in Castiel's voice, wondering how his twin's voice could be so deep and have it not kill his throat.
"Well, Cas, I will see you later. I have some tracks to cover," Balthazar said, giving Dean a pointed look and the winked at Jimmy before he left. Jimmy frowned at Gabriel who shook his head and mouthed 'later.'
"We have another deal in a few nights. You're staying in the shadows this time and covering me with a sniper rifle," Dean said to Jimmy. Jimmy turned his head when Dean tilted his chin and pressed a kiss to his lips but as soon as he turned his back, Gabriel saw both men wiping their lips as Dean walked out.
"Okay, what the hell happened?" Gabriel asked.
"He knows," Jimmy said.
"He knows?" Gabriel demanded. "You're blaming me for blowing your cover and you already blew your cover? What the hell did he do?" Color flooded into Jimmy's cheeks and Gabriel gaped at him.
"You two had sex, didn't you?"
"No!" Jimmy protested. "Sort of… almost!"
"How many bases did he score?"
"Um… I think two," Jimmy blushed.
"He gave you a hand job?" Gabriel asked.
"No!"
"He fingered you?" Gabriel shrieked.
"Yes, happy now? Now if we're done acting like two teenage girls…" Jimmy said.
"Alright, what happened during the deal? Think we're any closer?" Gabriel asked.
"Any closer to what? Cas wasn't exactly brimming with the specifics," Jimmy said, annoyed. "What's the deal with Balthazar?"
"Loyal only to Castiel. He's only here because of Cas. He'd be doing Cas if Cas wasn't loyal as hell to Dean. He didn't try to come on to you, did he? He'd probably tap your ass since you're Castiel's exact replica and all that," Gabriel said.
"Nothing happened," Jimmy lied. "So Dean doesn't know Balthazar knows and Balthazar doesn't know Dean knows I'm not Castiel?"
"I know. It's a conundrum," Gabriel nodded seriously.
Jimmy walked through the halls of the hideout, trying to find out what Castiel had died trying to find. He shook his dying flashlight and then cursed when the light began flickering. He searched the trench coat for extra batteries, finding two pocket knives, a handkerchief, a pen, and a coupon for a burger before the light went dead.
"Damn it!" Jimmy cursed and then the lights flicked on.
"Light switch is on the wall," Balthazar said. "What are you doing down here?"
"None of your business," Jimmy said.
"Well since your brother is my best friend, I think it is in my best interests to protect my best friend's brother… especially since I'm so keen about his body," Balthazar practically purred, looking Jimmy up and down.
"My body or Castiel's?" Jimmy asked, not paying Balthazar much attention as he continued walking in the now lit place.
"It matters?" Balthazar asked, following Jimmy.
"No," Jimmy said shortly.
"You know Jimmy, you might want to start telling me the truth," Balthazar drawled.
"You know the truth, Balthazar," Jimmy said.
"Hmm, yes but I mean the truth about how I make you feel," Balthazar said.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Jimmy said.
"I think you do… and if you do happen to come around, I might just know where your brother's body is, assuming he got there," Balthazar said. Jimmy spun around, pressing Balthazar against a wall and flipping open a switch blade and holding it against Balthazar's throat.
"Are you saying my brother's dead or alive?" Jimmy demanded.
"Well you see-" Balthazar shifted his weight and then the two fell backwards, tumbling into each other. Jimmy lost his knife as he strugged to get a balance but the trap wall that had given out spun around again and hit Jimmy in the back of the head, knocking him out cold.
