"What the fuck." Cas breathed out, staring at the television. Dean and him were lazing on the bed, Dean playing with the other man's hair when Cas had glanced at the tv left on and gasped.

Dean sat up quickly, staring surprised at Cas. He wasn't used to the innocent little angel freely cursing. But then again, there was a part of Dean in him now.

"What? What is it?" Dean stared at the tv, only to see a Pepsi commercial airing. The song "Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)" was playing, and the Pepsi Max and Coke Zero man were fighting, attempting to build the best tower out of 12-packs. Dean had seen this commercial tons of times, and kinda enjoyed the humor.

"I-it's Gabriel!" Cas exclaimed, scooting closer to the tv to analyze the Pepsi Max guy.

"Like, the fucking archangel Gabriel?" Dean asked, incredulous.

"Yes, that is my elder brother Gabriel in this television!" Cas cried out, eyes wide with wonder.

Dean burst out laughing, falling onto the bed and clutching at his sides. "Oh you've gotta be fucking kidding me! All-powerful, and he's in a fucking Pepsi ad!" He wiped the tears of laughter from his eyes at sat up, still chuckling at Cas.

But Cas hadn't moved. He was sitting only inches away from the television, hand placed gently on the screen where his brother's face had been only minutes before.

"Cas?" Dean's voice was soft now as he tapped Cas on the shoulder. The angel turned around, eyes brimming with tears.

"Cas, baby." Dean frowned, holding Cas close to him. Cas curled up in his lap, face pressed into the demon's chest.

"I miss him so much." Cas choked out, voice muffled by Dean's shirt. Dean stroked his hair, sadness filling him. He could only imagine being separated from Sam for that long.

"Shh shh, it's okay baby, I know." He sent soothing and calm feelings through the grace, halting the tears from Cas's eyes. Dean grabbed Cas by the chin lightly and moved the angel's head to face him, planting a soft chaste kiss against his lips. "Hey! Why don't we go visit him, hmm? Nothing is keeping you from seeing him. Plus, as your new husband, I think I deserve to meet your family!" Dean grinned, earning a small smile from Cas.

"I.. I suppose I could make preparations for that." Cas said, voice small like a child's.

"Great! We can go tomorrow, if he's not too busy with Pepsi." Dean smirked, winking at Cas. Cas curled up closer to him, nuzzling him.

The door opened and Sam walked in rather glumly, stopping as he saw the scene in front of him. "Um. What?"

Cas and Dean broke apart, Dean standing up quickly. He threw his arm around Cas's shoulder and smiled a big goofy smile. "Hey Sammy! We're married! Meet your new brother-in-law."

Sam's eyes widened and he looked as if a truck had just hit him hard. "What the fuck Dean?! I'm gone for like a fucking day and you get hitched to an angel? What the hell did I miss?!"

"Samuel, you may want to sit down." Cas frowned, staring intently at the younger demon. Sam sat down on the edge of his bed with a loud huff, staring at Dean expectantly with a huge bitchface on.

"Well, it's really not all that hard to explain, but I feel it'll be a lot funnier if I let Cas do it." Dean chuckled, gesturing towards the awkward-looking angel.

Cas shook his head quickly, eyes wide as saucers. "C'mon baby, you got this." Dean encouraged, nudging him. Dean realized he was getting nicer, and it slightly frustrated him. He's a frikkin badass! Baddest of the crossroad demons, terror of virgins and the devout! It must be the grace in him.

Cas cleared his throat unnecessarily. "You're brother and I, as I'm sure you know, copulated. Being my first time, and him getting my oils upon his skin," Sam blanched at this, confused and grossed out at the mention of oils. Dean grinned wider, thoroughly enjoying this. Cas continued, "We began an ancient angel mating ritual, causing the pain and illness we felt when separated. Tonight we completed this ritual, making us mates for life."

Sam just looked at him for a while, absorbing all of this in. He then looked at Dean, who was staring affectionately at Cas.

"Well.. ah.. Congrats man!" Sam smiled awkwardly, picking up Dean in a hug in his massive arms.

"Sam you're crushing me!" Dean gasped jokingly, patting Sam on the back. "Thanks man. This is... This is good." He glanced happily at Cas, who tilted his head back in a loving manner.

Sam walked over to Cas, staring at him intently until the angel fidgeted. Sam took Cas into a big hug, surprising both Cas and Dean. "Y'know if you hurt him, I'll have to kill you." Sam joked, eyes warm.

"I have no intention of hurting anyone, Samuel." Cas said this more sincere than necessary as he looked at Sam.

"That's.. er.. good." Sam said awkwardly.

"If you will excuse me, I must make preparations for tomorrow." Cas said politely, leaning over to kiss Dean before disappearing.

"What's happening tomorrow?" Sam inquired.

"Dude, you are not gonna believe this. I'm going to meet his brother Gabriel. Oh, shit! Pull up YouTube, you gotta see this commercial!"

Castiel appeared in an extravagant mansion, walls covered in art and beautiful expensive furniture everywhere. After some searching, he had finally found the whereabouts of his brother, and was extremely nervous.

He quietly walked through the house, passing a kitchen filled with sweets and rooms filled with odd electronic devices that Castiel had never seen. Finally, he came to the door of what was clearly a bedroom. He opened it timidly, peering inside.

Gabriel was on his bed, surrounded by four very attractive women in their underwear, laughing and joking.

Castiel cleared his throat awkwardly, causing Gabriel to whip around. His eyes went wide, shocked and awed to see the man in his doorway.

"Ladies, I'm going to have to reschedule this, okay?" Gabriel grinned at the women as they aww'ed in disappointment. "I know ladies, but that man over there is my brother."

Gabriel walked out, slinging his arm around Castiel as he passed him. "Let's go to my study, shall we?" Gabriel said, voice sarcastic. Gabriel led him there as Castiel stared at him. Gabriel had long hair, nearly as long as Sam's, and hazel eyes that sparkled with mischief.

"Cassy, long time no see." Gabriel said, sitting in the big chair of the study. Castiel politely sat across from him, folding his hands on the desk.

"Gabriel, I have missed you very much." Castiel lowered his head, trying to compose himself. Seeing Gabriel had broken his heart more than he liked. He sent these feelings towards Dean, hoping to make himself feel better and was greeted with a feeling of comfort. "You.. you left me."

Gabriel's usual grin faltered as he looked at his younger brother, the pain evident in his blue eyes. He went around the desk and took Castiel in a big hug. "I'm so sorry Cassy. I couldn't do it anymore, I couldn't take them, but I never wanted to hurt you." He kissed Castiel on the forehead, a frown on his usual happy face.

"I..." Castiel paused, bringing himself together. "I have come here to ask you a favor, Gabriel."

"I'm all ears, bro." Gabriel sat back down, making ears appear all over his face. "Get it? All ears!" He chuckled to himself before bringing his face back together.

"Erm yes, amusing. I am in a rather large predicament Gabriel."

"I'd say! You're not in Heaven, I'm surprised."

"The Elders sent me on a mission to destroy the demon Sam Winchester. However..." He fidgeted, making Gabriel lean in closer, face resting in his hand. "However, I have mated for eternity with his brother Dean. I cannot kill Sam now. Dean and Sam know nothing of what I was sent here to do. They believe I left Heaven with you. My.. husband, as he puts it.. wants to meet you tomorrow." Castiel rushed this out, face turning a deep red.

Gabriel mock-gasped. "Cassy you dirty boy! Mating for life? And with a demon no less! I have never been prouder of you man!" He grinned wickedly, eyeing his brother with a new respect.

"Gabriel this entire situation is very stressing. I am happy with Dean, and I do not want him to know that I was the angel sent to kill his brother, the most important person to him in the world."

Gabriel nodded sympathetically. "Okay, I get that. So, I get to meet the husband tomorrow, huh? I'll go along with your little charade, but I'm still gonna tease him like crazy. I had no clue you were into the men, Cas." Gabriel winked at him, now eating an ice cream cone he had made appear from nowhere.

"I.. I believe I am gay, Gabriel." Cas blushed deeply, averting his eyes.

"No shame, man! I personally enjoy the ladies. Wow, I can't believe little virgin Cassy is mated. Hey, how's the sex?" Gabriel grinned at Castiel's shocked look.

"Gabriel! That is personal information!" He spluttered, face extremely heated now with embarrassment.

"C'mon, whose the alpha?" Gabriel's face had a wide grin on it, prodding his younger brother for information.

"I believe I am." Castiel whispered, staring intently at his folded hands.

"Look at you, Cassy! You're just full of delicious surprises today! Is it mellow or totally crazy?"

"It is rather wild." Castiel muttered, hardly audible.

"Whoo!" Gabriel wolf whistled.

"I will see you tomorrow then, say at 2?"

"Sounds good to me! And Cas?"

"Yes Gabriel?"

"I've missed you too."

Castiel stared at Gabriel's now-solemn face, nodded softly with understanding, and disappeared.

The rest of the day had passed uneventful, the three men relaxing in the hotel room, occasionally going out for something to eat, though unnecessary. Dean had been extremely happy to find that Cas loved burgers as much as he did, if not more.

Then it was the next day, and time to meet Gabriel. Sam had gone off, mumbling something about important business. Dean was much too stressed to notice. He wouldn't admit it, but he really wanted to make a good impression on Cas's family.

At 1:45 Cas gripped Dean tightly and transferred them to the front door of a huge ass mansion.

"Fucking Hell, this is awesome!" Dean stared at the mansion in awe, admiring it. He reached down and twined his fingers into Cas's, giving it a soft reassuring squeeze.

"This is gonna be great, I know it." Dean whispered to Cas, kissing him gently before the door opened.

A smug man stood there, about the same height as Dean, with long light brown hair and hazel eyes. He looked as if he would be the pranking and mischievous type and he was sucking on a lollipop.

"Hey bro! Boytoy." He grinned over at Dean who huffed.

"Gabriel, this is my mate, Dean Winchester." Cas said, his forehead creasing.

"It's nice to meet you Dean-O." He extended a hand, and Dean shook it grumpily.

"It's Dean."

"Whatever you say, Dean-O." Gabriel grinned, unphased.

They entered and Gabriel lead them to the kitchen, Dean eyeing the house in amazement behind him. The kitchen was filled with food, mostly baked goods and candy. Dean thought that it was lucky angels couldn't be diabetic or gain weight, or Gabriel would be fucked.

"So here ya go, I prepared a nice little meal for us." He drawled, waving a hand at the food. There was everything Dean could imagine. Fuck there was every meat possible! His mouth watered as he looked over at a tray of burgers.

"I know we don't eat, but I personally enjoy it." He glanced over at Dean. "Considering that you're drooling, I'd say you do too." He grinned. "Go on then, help yourself."

Dean needed no more invitation as he dove towards the plate, grabbing a burger and taking a big bite, a low appreciative moan escaping his throat.

Cas stood still, blushing at the sight as Gabriel smirked at him. "Um, Dean." He poked Dean lightly, who opened his eyes to stare at Cas.

"Cas, it's a burger. A damn good burger. Now get yourself one and chill." He smiled at Cas, who reached over to grab a burger, taking a large bite out of it. His face turned blissful at the taste.

"You sure you're the dominant one, Cas?" Gabriel asked, his face sarcastic. Cas blushed even deeper, averting his eyes from Dean.

Dean choked on his burger, coughing and hacking. "Y-you told him?!" He gasped out angrily.

"He is my brother Dean, and he is rather persuasive." Cas looked down, ashamed slightly.

Dean grumbled to himself, taking another bite of his burger. Gabriel was chuckling in the corner.

The rest of the day went pretty well, despite a few supernatural pranks set on Dean by Gabriel. There was a lot of chatting and Gabriel told Dean stories of Cas's youth. Dean laughed loudly as Gabriel recounted Cas's first attempt at flying. Gabriel had had to put a leash on him to keep him from flying away completely in a very reckless manner.

"Oh oh! One time," Gabriel recounted. "He got stuck in a tree, and we couldn't get him to come down! He just sat in the tree for three days straight until I could finally lure him down." Gabriel chuckled at this.

"There are trees in Heaven?" Dean inquired, interested by this information. He had pictured fluffy white clouds and shit like that. Then again, Hell wasn't all that hot.

"Heaven looks different for everyone, the way they want it to look. I enjoy a forest I once stumbled upon with a pond as blue as the sky in the center, surrounded by flowers and blackberry bushes. It calms me." He blushed.

Dean squeezed his hand at this, gaining kissy sounds from Gabriel.

Overall, it was a fantastic day and Dean really enjoyed himself.

When they retired to the motel room that night, Dean was happy to see how much Castiel was smiling.
