Okay, I'm gonna start this off by saying this is NOT a chapter that carries any weight in the story. It's simply an intermission chapter because my beta hasn't gotten back to me on the next real chapter of this, so I haven't posted it yet. (Sorry about that). But, if there's anyone who'd like to go over it for me, I'd be eternally grateful.

If I get anything wrong in this, please let me know and I'll change it immediately. This is all just a short, funny chapter I wrote and everything in it is headcannon.


When Sam first saw Gabriel, he was sure he was hallucinating. Castiel on the other hand, seemed utterly nonplussed about his brother's new attire.

"Mornin' Samshine," the Archangel says, walking into the kitchen. He notices Sam's wide eyes and gives him a confused look. "What? There somethin' on my face?"

Sam shakes his head. "Uh, what are you wearing?" he asks incredulously.

Gabriel glances down at his bright pink, yellow, and blue shirt. "What?"

Sam vaguely gestures to his clothes.

"Oh, this. It's June."

Sam gives him a confused look.

Gabriel's eyes widen. "You don't know?"

Sam shakes his head. "Um, know what?"

"It's only the greatest month ever. Don't you know what's being celebrated?"

Sam pauses. "I'm pretty sure you're not getting this exited for Father's Day, so no, I don't know what this is about."

Gabriel looks at Castiel, a shocked look on his face. "Please tell me you know what I'm talking about."

Castiel shrugs. "I don't typically follow most human traditions. The only thing I've noted is that in recent years, a select part of them have begun draping themselves in clothing similar to your own. Although, I'm sure there were other colors and shades as well."

Gabriel lets out a horrified gasp and Sam's eyes widen.

"Wait," the younger Winchester starts, "are you dressed up because of pride month?"

"Of course," Gabriel says, feeling confused by Sam's reaction.

Sam glances around. "It's only us here."

"I know. So?"

Sam sighs. "Nevermind. Wear whatever you want, I don't really care."

Castiel gives them a confused look. "What is this 'pride month' you two are talking about?"

Gabriel's eyes widen. "You don't know?"

"Considering my reaction earlier, I was sure you were aware."

"Come with me Cassy, and I shall show you the joys of the month of June."

Sam watches in vague concern as Gabriel practically drags Castiel back to his room. He shakes his head. "I'll check on them later," he says to himself, going back to his coffee.

. . .

A few hours later, Castiel emerged from the room. Sam eyes his new shirt. "I guess you're getting into the spirit too?"

Castiel nods, proudly looking down at his new black, grey, white, and purple clothing. "Yes. Me and Gabriel browsed the internet and found what I best identify as."

Sam nods. "That's great." He studies the colors. "I'm pretty sure that's the ace flag, right? Or is it demi?"

"Both, actually. I debated for a while between them, but I decided on asexuality."

"Nice," he says approvingly, going back to his book.

Castiel gives Sam an odd look. "Do you know your sexuality?"

Sam's eyes widen and he clears his throat. "Um, y-yeah."

Castiel smiles. "Wonderful. Would you like to join us in the wearing of colorful clothing?"

"Uh, no, Cas. I-I'm good."

"Oh. That's alright, you don't have to."

"Thanks, Cas."

"It's no problem. What are you working on?"

" 'M just reading."

Castiel nods. "Sounds fun. May I join you?"

"Sure," Sam says, gesturing to the chair in front of him.

Castiel picks out a book and sits down.

. . .

"Are you guys gonna wear those all month?" Sam asks the next day, noticing they still hadn't changed clothes.

"Why my dear Sasquatch, of course we are," Gabriel says. "Do you just expect us to walk around in dull clothes like heathens?"

Sam chuckles. "No, I guess not. So long as you two are having fun."

Castiel nods. "It is a nice feeling to drape myself in the colors of the flag that best identifies how I feel towards other people. Especially considering I was unaware of it until yesterday."

"Well, then by all means, drape away."

"I intend to. You may join us at any time you wish."

Gabriel perks up and Sam flushes.

"Got it, Cas."

Gabriel grins. "Why Sammy, you're not hiding something are you?"

Sam gulps. "No. I-it's nothing."

"It is not nothing, Sam," Castiel says. "But you do not have to share with us if you don't wish to." He shoots a glare at Gabriel, who shrugs.

"Alright, alright. Jeez, I won't pry."

Sam nods. "Yeah, thanks."

Gabriel smirks. "I'd still like to know, Sammich."

He glances away, a mildly uncomfortable look on his face.

Castiel hits Gabriel in the shoulder and the Archangel lets out an indignant noise.

. . .

"What do you think about blue and purple?" Gabriel asks Sam the next day. "And pink, of course."

Sam shakes his head. It wasn't really aimed at the question, but rather the being asking it. He sighs. "Why do you care so much?" he asks tiredly.

Gabriel gets an offended look on his face. "Is it a crime to want to know the most I can about my friend?"

"I guess not. It's not that important, so I don't see why you care."

Gabriel lets out a horrified gasp. "Not important? This is a part of your identity we're talkin' here. Unless the topic suddenly shifted and I wasn't aware."

"Do you really wanna know?"

"Yes."

Sam sighs. "Same as you. Unless I've got my flag colors mixed up."

Gabriel grins. "Nice. And here I thought you'd be more like Cassy."

Sam shrugs, looking mildly uncomfortable. "Well, I'm also demi, so kinda."

"Even better. If you want some commemorative clothing, just say the word."

Sam chuckles. "I'll think about it."

"Great. Now that that's settled, I think I'll go hang out with Rowena."

Sam gives him an odd look. "You're not gonna interrogate her either?"

Gabriel gets an offended look on his face. "I was not interrogating you."

Sam shakes his head. "Whatever. Go have our fun."

Gabriel grins and walks out of the room.

. . .

The next day, Sam sees Rowena wearing a shirt with two different shades of green along with black and white.

. . .

A little bit after that, he takes Gabriel's offer and also gets himself a bright pink, yellow, and blue shirt.
