David was always a smart boy, gifted in many ways from his multiple fathers. So it didn't take him long to figure out that his mother and his Uncle were finally together. Growing up he had never questioned why the two raised him but weren't mom and dad like all the other kids had. But with school, and puberty, and a sudden flooding of his grace David began to question everything. It made him sad that he couldn't talk about his fathers when the kids in school asked. It made him mad when they laughed at him for his "uncle" who they all thought was just Mom's new boyfriend. They teased him and tested his patience daily. But David took it all with a solemn patience that his mother assured him came from his father Castiel. So when he watched his mother and Gabriel working together in the kitchen he caught the gentle hand Gabe placed on his mother's waist before removing it quickly. He saw the blush that rushed to her face when he leaned over to whisper something in her ear. And he saw the way they looked at each other over the table when they thought his head was down. David went to bed that night very happy and wondering how long it would take the adults to give him "the talk".
