This is the last chapter with Adam in it. If you like reading about Adam, cherish it, because he's tired, and after this he's going to go sleep. It's Adam/Gabriel, by the way. A contributing factor to his tiredness is Gabriel being Gabriel. They don't really know each other in this story. They know about each other, but they don't know each other. I hope you like this one!

Chapter 10:Tripped! (Adam/Gabriel)

Shit! Gabriel thought, screeching to a halt in front of a dead end. Where do I go now? He turned and shot right past Dean, who gave him a bewildered glance and almost went to tackle him, before thinking better of it. There was no way he'd risk getting stuck under a mistletoe with the archangel. Gabriel ran out into the library and raced towards the other exit. He noted with a snort that Adam and Samandriel were being very careful not to block the doorway this time.

When he was about two yards away from getting out of the main room, someone stuck out a leg and tripped him. He flew forwards and hit something squishy that groaned and toppled backwards, bringing him with it. A few seconds later, when he got his bearings back, he realized he was staring into pained blue eyes that looked about as shocked with the situation as he was.

Gabriel shoved himself off the youngest Winchester, groaning. "Sorry 'bout that, Adam. Someone," Gabriel turned to give Sam a deadly glare. "Tripped me."

Sam shrugged, holding back a laugh. "I was just trying to give Dean a chance to catch up." He said lightly, before turning and giving Adam an apologetic look as well. "Though yeah, sorry. Didn't mean to make him fall on you." Glancing up at the ceiling above the pair and spotting the inevitable plant, he added a mutter under his breath. "I can't imagine being stuck with him." He gave Gabriel a glare.

Gabriel grinned back cheekily and winked. "Who knows, Sam, maybe by the end of the night, you won't have to!" Sam made a disgusted face and turned back to Jess.

"Adam, could you do me a favor?" Dean started, from where he stood outside of the trap. "Don't let him out until I've convinced one of the other archangels to lend me one of their swords so I can kill this S.O.B. Please. I'll try and be back soon." Dean started to jog off to where he was fairly sure he had last seen Michael and Lucifer.

"You're just gonna leave me trapped here!" Adam called after his older brother's back.

"You'll be fine!" Dean waved a hand unconcernedly, before getting out of earshot.

Adam turned back to Gabriel with trepidation. Being trapped with Michael? Minor annoyance. He had mostly made his peace with Michael. Trapped with Alfie? Whatever. He couldn't care less. But he didn't know Gabriel, except by reputation, and what he'd heard wasn't good. "Uh..." He started, before Gabriel cut him off.

"Look, kid, I don't know you, you don't know me. We have no reason to hate each other, and therefore no reason for you to let your brother kill me. And who knows how long it'll take him to get back? I know for a fact," Gabriel's eyes took on a calculating look that made Adam nervous. "That you don't exactly have the best experience of being in a small, enclosed space with only an archangel." Adam flinched, and Gabriel smirked like he'd won something. "Dean just basically abandoned you, again, and you don't want to be here. But seeing as I don't want to be here either, and we have a very easy way out, why don't we work together. We kiss, and then we're both free. Sound good?"

Adam stared for a minute, and opened his mouth to reply, but was interrupted by Samandriel. "Why can't you just wave your hand and make the mistletoe disappear?"

"Because to do that," Gabriel gave his little brother a winning grin. "Would mean taking away all the other mistletoe as well. The whole setup is basically as though I cursed the place. And I don't want to get rid of all of them. That'd ruin the fun." He turned back to Adam, who looked hopelessly over in the direction Dean had vanished, then gave the archangel a nervous glance.

"Dean's gonna kill me for this." He said under his breath. Gabriel grinned again. "Fine! Let's just get it over with!"

As soon as the words had left his mouth, Gabriel pulled him forward into a far more...intrusive kiss than Adam had been expecting. It went on a bit longer than he would have liked, as well. Finally, the angel pulled away with a wink and a sly smile, then ran off down the corridor behind them.

"You okay?" Samandriel asked, staring at Adam in concern.

"I'm tired, I have a headache, and I was just practically forced to make out with someone who is almost a complete stranger and is definitely a complete dick. So, no, not really." Adam sighed and rubbed his eyes wearily, before turning to leave. "If Dean comes back and wants to kill me for letting Gabe get away, tell him I went to bed."

Adam's pretty tired of the party now. So yeah, bed time.

Next up, we have Castiel making a return with Meg! Yet another canon relationship, even if it was short lived!
