Friday night the clouds had rolled in and it rained the entire weekend. Gabe and Cas stayed with Sam and Dean like they told Bobby they would, keeping them entertained and comforted while the rain poured outside.
The first night they settled in, ordered pizza and watched movies until midnight when Sam woke up cuddled against Gabriel, to find everyone had fallen asleep. He proceeded to awaken Gabe and they woke their brothers, everyone trekking off to their/their partner's bedrooms and collapsing into bed, falling back asleep almost immediately.
After a good night's sleep Dean's mood seemed to improve a bit, he was speaking in full sentences instead of grunting a word here and there. He even rolled over and kissed Castiel good morning, much to the younger boy's delight. Dean's mood increased even more so when Cas gave him a sly look and slid under the sheets to give him a very hot and much needed, stress-relieving blowjob.
Sandwiches were made for lunch and afterwards the four of them attempted to play scrabble, it was going okay, until Dean and Gabriel starting having an inappropriate words war. Sam declared the game over when the words got a bit too graphic and misspelt, Dean and Gabe just rolled around on the floor laughing.
Sam and Cas gave their boyfriends/brothers stern looks, and they were supposed to be the more mature ones. Sam and Gabe were packing up the game when Dean stole a few choice letters, he arranged them and held up the little stand to show Cas. Castiel went bright red as Dean held up his little stand and turned it around to show the words 'I LOVE YOU' made up. Dean's cheesy grin turned into a slightly surprised blush as Cas dug into the letter bag and pulled out three letters, he arranged them next to Dean's words and motioned for him to look, the stand now held the words 'I LOVE YOU TOO'. Dean put down the stand, placed his hand on the back of Castiel's neck and kissed the younger boy passionately.
They spent the rest of the afternoon in Dean's room, just talking, cuddling and making out occasionally. Dean had never done that with anyone before, it was…nice. When they finally made it back out to the kitchen, Gabriel was tossing a stir-fry over the stove and Sam was setting the table. Sam looked up at Castiel and grinned, Cas just stuck his tongue out and they both giggled. Dean caught Gabriel's eyes but he shrugged, Gabe had no idea either.
Later Dean and Gabriel were entranced in some war videogame so Sam and Cas went off to Sam's room and just chilled out, chatting and laughing like they normally did when Cas came over. Sam started to tell Cas about how great his birthday outing with Gabe was and what they got up to in the picnic area.
"Dude. I do not need to know what you do with my brother, that's like me telling you I gave Dean a blowjob this morning."
"Eww, okay, point taken."
In the living room Dean and Gabe were having a similar conversation.
"I know our brothers are probably swapping gory details of our sex lives but we can just leave it at we're doing each other's brother and as long as it's consensual, there's nothing we need to discuss, agreed?"
"Agreed…Shit! Stop talking about sex with my brother, you're putting me off."

Sunday followed the same sort of routine as Saturday and before they knew it they were driving to school on Monday morning. A carefree weekend with Cas, Sam and Gabe was exactly what Dean had needed, it had uplifted him and he could accept their father walking out a lot more now.
Monday and Tuesday passed by easily, Sam and Cas hung out with Balthazar, while Gabe invited Dean to hang out with himself, Crowley and Lucifer.
Wednesday night Bobby called. He said that he had spoken to John and given him quite a few things to think about, now it was up to John what happened next.
Thursday came and went, Dean picked up the suits he and Sam had hired for Friday's dance and Cas stayed the night while Sam stayed with Gabe.
School on Friday was chaos, with last minute announcements being made about the dance and the committee running around with streamers, balloons and signs, trying to get everything done in time.
That afternoon Cas gave Dean a shy kiss on the cheek before running off to get in Gabriel's car. Dean grinned as he watched Cas go. He waited for them to drive off before pulling out his phone and texting Cas 'You're so adorable, Cas'. Just before Dean turned the key to start the Impala he got a reply of an embarrassed face, it just made him grin wider, damn, he was a lucky guy.

Once they got home Dean and Sam took turns showering and got into the suits they had hired, checking each other over once they were decent.
At five past five there was a knock on the door, Gabe and Cas weren't supposed to be there for another twenty five minutes. Dean went to the door anyway and opened it to the one person he really didn't want to see tonight.
"Dad." Dean said his voice cold and flat.
"Hi, son." John replied meekly.
"Nice to know you still think of us as sons."
"I'm sorry about just walking out like that, Dean, I just-I didn't…can I come in and talk about this?"
"Fine but make it quick, we've got places to be."
"Right, your big dance is tonight, you look good."
"Yeah." Dean was not looking for compliments from his father, not tonight.
"Can I speak to you and Sam?"
Dean eyed his father for a moment before yelling "SAM!"
"Are Gabe and Cas here al-" Sam dropped his sentence as he rounded the corner into the living room and laid eyes on his father "Dean?" he asked.
"He wants to talk to both of us." He said, and then addressed John "So talk…"
"Um, okay. Look boys, Bobby has had a few words to me and he has opened my eyes, so to speak. We haven't really spent a lot of time together over the past ten years and I see now that I buried myself in my work when I should have been looking after the both of you. Maybe if I had I would've known about your…preferences and this would have gone so much different. I just want to apologise for everything I have missed over the years and for not being a better, more accepting father. And if it's alright, I would like to apologise to your, um, boyfriends too." There it was, he put it out there, and he hoped his boys could find it in their hearts to forgive him.
Sam looked at Dean and Dean looked at Sam, silent words being shared between them, then they both nodded once and John knew his verdict had been made.
"You can stay." They said in unison both turning to look at John.
"But, I want to see what Cas and Gabe say about it all." Dean added.
"I guess that's all I can ask for. The four of you seem really close, have you, um, been together long?"
"Actually no, it's a long story, but Sam and Cas have been best friends for years, so I've kinda known him for ages, and being Cas' brother, Sam has known Gabe for ages as well, so yeah." Dean explained.
Dean texted Cas telling him about the situation so they didn't freak out when they got to the house, and then the Winchesters made small talk for another ten minutes until the Novaks arrived. Dean opened the door when they knocked and the first thing he saw was Castiel standing shyly on the step. He was in a new pair of tight black skinny-leg jeans, black converse, a white undershirt and a well-fitting black suit jacket, left open, with a black and white tie, his dark hair was messed in that way that made Dean's blood drain south and his blue eyes were shining. Dean licked his lips slowly as his eyes dragged up and down Castiel's body, not wanting to look away, he finally met Cas' eyes and the younger boy blushed.
He heard someone behind him cough "Um, are you going to let them in, Dean?" Sam asked.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, right, of course." Dean replied coming back to his senses.
As he passed the threshold, Cas whispered to Dean "You look good too." Then he grinned and winked at his boyfriend. Dean felt himself go weak at the knees from desire, how the hell was he going to get through tonight with Cas looking that good?
Once all the greetings had taken place, John cleared his throat and the four boys looked at him, waiting.
"Thanks for agreeing to talk to me. I know it was beyond rude to walk out on guests, and I know my behaviour will have affected both of you also, not just my sons. I would like to apologise for my actions, I would also like to lessen my work load and spend more time here getting to know you and forming a better relationship with my sons. I would like to start on a clean slate with all of you, if you'll allow me to."
There were a lot of silent conversations going on between the four boys in front of him, how did they do that? Was it because they were all so close? He really had no clue.
Finally Dean spoke "We'd like that, dad."
John smiled, he knew he'd made the right decision, maybe they could be a real family again, it would take a long time, but here's to hoping.
