Sophomore Year- December

Sam was sitting in the library, as usual, during his study hall on a Friday afternoon. He was waiting for Jessica and Kevin so they could study for their finals. They had two on Monday, two on Tuesday, and three on Wednesday and then they were finally done with the semester. Studying was the only thing that could distract Sam from his thoughts about Gabriel. Their lockers were even closer than they had been last year and it was driving Sam crazy. He felt like every other week there was a new girl at the locker.

"Hey, Sam." Jessica sat down next to him and pulled out her biology book. She blew her blonde bangs out of her face.

"Hey, Jess. Where's Kevin?" Jessica and Kevin had their literature class just before their sixth hour study hall.

"He walked Channing to her locker. It's weird that the two of them are dating now, huh?" Jessica shot a look at Sam. Sam shrugged. He still wasn't about to tell Jess or Kevin, whom he considered his best friends, that he was gay. Castiel and Dean were supportive, but they were practically his parents. Aunt Ellen and Uncle Bobby were the same way.

"Sam, why don't you date?" Jessica asked. Sam looked up from his notebook.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I've known you for years, and I've barely seen you talk to girls."

"Um…well…I just think that I shouldn't date until I can take them out on my own, ya know? I mean how romantic can it been when Dean is dropping me off and picking me up?"

"I guess that's a good point, but promise I'll be that them when it happens?" Jessica batted her eyelashes at him. Sam felt a blush creep up on his cheeks.

"Well, that might ruin our friendship."

"Don't give me that crap, Sam." Sam sighed.

"Look, Jess, it's complicated okay?"

"Are you the guy or the girl in this situation?"

"Shut up. I just, think it would just be better if we didn't risk it." Jessica sighed and slammed her textbook shut.

"I swear to God, Samuel Winchester, you are the worst." Jessica gathered her textbooks and huffed out of the library. Kevin and Channing walked in, almost bumping into Jessica. Jessica and Channing talked. Kevin came to sit next to Sam while Channing walked out of the library.

"Dude, what did you do?" Sam sighed.

"I didn't do anything. She just…wanted me to ask her out on a date."

"Why don't you? You and Jess, Channing and I could go on a double date."

"I just, don't want to I guess. Jess is more like a sister than somebody that I would be interested in."

"What about Ruby? I heard that she and Lucifer aren't together anymore."

"I just don't want to date right now. It's almost time for finals. Can we study?" Sam looked back down at his notebook.

"Sam, we're fifteen year old guys. All we want to do is be with girls." Sam sighed again then looked at Kevin.

"We really aren't going to have this conversation right now. I want to study."

"Why don't we have this conversation? You've never seem interested in girls. I think the last time you even mentioned a crush was Ruby. Come on, Sam. I thought I was your best friend."

"Don't pull that card. You know you are."

"Then tell me what the hell is the matter with you."

"We aren't studying are we?"

"Not until you tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing is wrong! Dammit Kevin, I just don't want to talk about it okay? Why is this a big deal to you?"

"Because, Channing is chirping in my ear that Jess wants to go out with you. I told her I would try and get you to ask her out."

"I don't want to ask her out. I don't want to ask any girl out. Look, can we talk about this later? Study hall is almost over."

"Channing and I are going to a movie. You and Jess could come."

"Kevin," Sam sighed. "I…I need to tell you something."

"Well, tell me."

"Not here. After school." Kevin glared, but dropped the subject with a simple head nod. Channing walked back in the library and sat across from Kevin.

"Sam," Channing began. Kevin silenced her with a look. The three sat in silence for the rest of the period.


"Hey, hey Michael." Gabe whispered in their biology class. They were sitting in the back row. Michael was actually filling out his study guide for his biology final, but Gabriel was exempting. Biology was oddly Gabriel's favorite subject. He didn't know why, but it all made sense.

"What?"

"Are you actually working?" Michael nodded, still not looking up from his paper.

"Talk to me. I'm bored."

"I'm sorry you actually have an A for once and don't have to do this." Gabriel laughed.

"Gabriel, can you come up here for a second?" Their teacher, Mr. Devereaux, spoke up from his desk. Gabriel sighed and walked up to his teacher's desk.

"Yes, sir?"

"I have an idea. Next semester, why don't you take advanced biology?" Gabriel looked at his teacher.

"Really?"

"Yeah, why the hell not? You've been working really hard this semester and I think that you can handle it." Mr. Deveraux was one of Gabriel's favorite teachers. He treated them more like adults.

"What if I can't?"

"Then we'll drop you back down. No harm, no foul."

"Well, um, yeah. Let's try it." Gabriel smiled. He knew that Sam was in advanced biology, so maybe they would be in the same class. Gabriel hoped that would happen. Being in the same class as Sam again would make Gabriel's entire sophomore year. It sounded crazy, but Gabriel really missed Sam. He kept trying to get the courage up to talk to him about something, anything, but it never happened. Watching Sam only a few lockers down laughing with Kevin, Jody, Jessica and Channing made him jealous. Maybe he could actually go and talk to him between classes. Gabriel was sitting back in his desk when the bell rang. He walked out with Michael, but Michael walked away to his own locker. Gabriel saw Sam at his locker. Alone. Gabriel walked to his own locker, glancing down at Sam a few times before he finally took a deep breath, shut his locker and walked towards Sam.

"H…Hey, uh…Sam?" Sam heard his name barely above the rumble of the other students. He turned around and saw Gabriel standing there. His heart sped up and his palms started to sweat.

"Gabe, wow, how are you?" Gabriel smiled. Sam was actually talking to him. Sam wasn't blowing him off.

"I'm…"

"Gabriel! I've been looking all over for you, mate." Crowley walked up and looked between Sam and Gabriel.

'Just go away, Crowley.' Gabriel was hoping that maybe he would get the hint, which of course he didn't.

"We need to go and…" Crowley looked up at Sam. "'Scuse us, moose." Crowley took Gabriel by the arm and led him away. Gabriel saw the sad look on Sam's face.

"Crowley, Sam and I were talking."

"For what? He's fine. Now, next weekend we're going to have a huge party. My place, yeah?" Gabriel looked back at Sam, but he was already gone. Gabriel sighed.

"Yeah, sure. I gotta go to class." Gabriel walked away. He didn't even want to talk to anybody but Sam, but after that, Sam probably wouldn't want to talk to him. Someday, Gabriel would have another conversation with Sam Winchester.


"Sam, come on. Channing wants to get to this movie." Kevin had ridden to Sam's house with him and Dean. Channing's mother would pick him up after he heard what Sam had to say. Sam and Kevin were up in Sam's bed room. "What do you want to tell me?"

"Don't freak out, okay? I just need you to know this. I've been hiding it for a while, too." Sam was standing in front of Kevin, and he was sitting on the bed.

"Okay, buddy. Shoot." Sam sighed.

"I'm still the same guy, okay? What I'm about to tell you doesn't change who I am or our friendship, got that?" Kevin looked confused, but nodded.

"Sure, Sam."

"I…I'm…" Sam couldn't get it out. "I'm gay." Sam barely said above a whisper. Kevin started laughing. Sam looked up at him, and oddly a small smile came on to Sam's face. "What the hell is so funny?"

"You, being gay. I mean, do you know how many girls want to be with you at school?" Sam gave a small chuckle.

"Really?"

"Channing comes to me all the time about girls that want to be with you, but I guess I can tell her to stop that now, huh? I mean, you're really gay?" Sam nodded.

"Yeah, I am. I…I've been in love with Gabriel since seventh grade."

"Gabriel? Are you serious?"

"Yeah, Gabriel. I just, I can't describe it. Just seeing him makes my heart beat faster. I remember that kiss from his party…"

"In seventh grade?"

"Yeah."

"Damn dude, that's a long time to be in love with a guy. And hide it from your best friend."

"I'm sorry, Kevin. I just wasn't ready, I mean I just told Dean and Castiel last year."

"Well, I'm glad you actually told me, and I'm here for you, Sam, but you know who's next to be told?"

"Who's that?"

"Jessica."
