A/N: Wow I didn't really honeslty expect the whole flood of opinions that I had from the last chapter. Ok so I think some things need to be adressed though before you carry on reading the story. Now first things first, I do apologize for not putting a warning for those of you who were dissapointed in where the story went in the end for you. I didn't want to give people that saw the story hope that the threesome would happen only to decide later on that it wouldn't. So either way someone was going to be dissapointed, although really those of you that left for that exact reason had a few good chapters of Cass/Dean so really you cant complain about that X)

Now another; please in the future for those of you who are just going to review just to tell me in the end your going to stop reading because of this or that, please don't review at all or don't mention that if you decide to review. You were all very polite and courteous to me about it but I found it kind of a waste for you to do that. I don't mean to be rude about this. I just don't like it when someone reviews just to tell me that thier not reading the story. Also I know people have different tastes in stories so I hope you find the right match for you out there again and maybe we'll meet again in another story :)

Now to those of you who are faithfully sticking by this through thick and thin even some of you anonymous reviewers, and to those of you who are willing to give it a try thanks a billion! It makes me happy to see people that are willing to try it, and thank you for sticking up for this story and for me too as the author; it was very encouraging to see and I thank you all! I don't think anyone was trying to pose their ideas on me, I think maybe like for me it got tiring for some of you to see people saying their going to stop reading because of that, and really truthfully that didn't need to be said and I agree with that. Some people just have different likes and dislikes and theres nothing wrong with that.

Warnings: Threesome Gabe/Dean/Castiel

Ok guys for those of you who waited for this lets ease into this new idea together! :) enjoy!

Dean glanced between the two angels in puzzlement as he looked at them. Both had identical twin looks on their faces, each looked in deep thought and somewhat worried about what they had to tell him yet. Dean glanced at Cass and was surprised to see the angel nervous as he stood there.

Frowning Dean walked closer to the angel, "Cass what's wrong?" he asked him confused.

Castiel rubbed his chin and gestured to the chair sitting at the table, "Please sit Dean."

Frowning Dean walked over to the chair and sat down with no argument. He stared between both of them starting to become worried of their constant glances back and forth, and their worried frown lines marring their faces. Heck even Gabriel looked like he was about to have a nervous breakdown and that was totally unlike the archangel that even Dean felt a sinking sensation in the pit of his stomach.

"What's going on you guys?" he asked them hesitantly.

Castiel sighed and sat down in the chair opposite from Dean and looked at his older brother with his clear blue eyes now clouded with worry and fear.

"You should tell him Gabriel," Castiel said to him gently, "he has a right to know about this, and I know you do not want to tell him yet, but I would rather it be sooner than later."

Dean frowned at the two of them, "Tell me what Cass?"

Gabriel sighed at this, "Dean while you were in the shower I had to tell Cass here something that's going to effect all of us."

Dean stared at the archangel silently for a few seconds, "And what exactly did you have to tell him that was so important you zapped me into the shower directly."

Gabriel sighed as he shuffled nervously, "Dean I'm also your mate just like Cass here. Me and you are destined to be bonded as well."

Dean frowned slightly, "What do you mean destined? And bonded Gabriel? Theirs no such thing as destiny that much I've learned and I'll be damned if I have to be your mate just because you say so!"

Gabriel frowned at this, "It's not because I say so Dean! This is completely out of my hands!"

Dean scoffed and turned to Castiel, "And what exactly do you think of all of this Cass? It's absurd right?"

Castiel bit his lip and shrugged as he didn't look at Dean and did not answer the hunter. Dean frowned in confusion and worry as he looked at the angel.

"Cass?" he asked him quietly.

"I'm not so sure Dean," Castiel replied quietly, "for awhile now I have felt that something was missing in our bond. A piece of a missing puzzle if you will. Late at night when I lie with you and your are sleeping in my arms I can feel it then more pronounced then any other time, and even you can feel it too."

Dean had been shaking his head at this as Castiel slowly explained this. However, when the angel mentioned this Dean stopped and turned his full attention on him again.

"What do you mean I've been feeling it too Cass?" he asked the angel with a serious and deadly tone of voice.

"Your soul is calling out to him Dean," Castiel responded quietly.

"No it's not Cass! I feel perfectly fine! You two are losing it…he killed me over and over again!" Dean violently protested as he pointed an accusing finger at the shorter angel.

Castiel shook his head at Dean's denial of this, "Dean when I hold you at night you become restless, you start mumbling violently in your sleep and shifting in discomfort. I have to use my grace to usually calm you down enough so that you can sleep. I've noticed it for myself too but I'm able to tone it down for me more so then you can. Your soul needs him Dean otherwise it's only going to become worse the longer this goes on."

Dean placed his head in between his hands and sighed in defeat. Finally, he looked up at the two angels that still either sat or stood around the table. Gabriel was looking at him with a worried frown creasing his forehead and Dean couldn't help but feel a small shiver run down his spine at the archangels concern and heated gaze. Quickly wiping it away from his mind he stared at both of them equally. Castiel watched him quietly his eyes sad as he witnessed Dean's suffering at this.

"But Cass I didn't choose him, I chose you! How is this happening? Why is my choice being taken away from me now? I can't be destined for anything, this is absolutely ridiculous!" Dean cried out in distress.

Castiel stared at his mate in sadness but there was really nothing he could do to soothe his distraught mate. He knew that he himself needed Gabriel in this relationship as well. In the short amount of time he had been in the room he had felt a incredibly strong bond develop with the archangel that went farther than normal angelic bonds. It tore him up to see Dean in such distress though. He knew that Dean's soul was calling out for Gabriel but his mind was rebelling and refusing to accept what it felt was being forced on it. Castiel knew that if Dean could look into himself properly and read what was so obvious to him he would notice that it wasn't destiny per say but that Dean had actually made a choice albeit self consciously.

There was no way that Castiel could make Dean see reason on this, or talk him into it, Dean needed to understand fully for himself what was happening with all of them.

Dean seemed to see the look of resignation on Castiel's face and sighed in sadness. He dropped his face back into his hands and gulped the lump down that had slightly formed in his throat. It was weird when he thought of it, sure this scene was distressing for him but not to this level. He felt like his soul was writhing in pain if that was even possible and he frowned in confusion at this. Why was he reacting so strongly? If anything he should have been angry but he wasn't even close to that point, he was more disappointed and upset at himself? Why?

Gabriel coughed from his position of standing in front of the table. Dean looked up at him completely forgetting for that short amount of time that he had been there. Wondering what the archangel had to say Dean braced himself for the sharp jab that he was absolutely sure would follow. Instead what the archangel said surprised him more than anything else.

"I may have a solution that could work," Gabriel offered quietly.

Castiel stared at his brother in shock for a few moments then nodded his head, "Go on Gabriel if you have something that may help this situation."

Gabriel nodded as he stepped forward and reached into his pocket. Dean stared in shock at the angel and his gentle tone from earlier and flinched slightly as he reached into his pocket and placed something on the table.

Dean heard a gentle click as something unfolded on the table; leaning over he stared at the object in shock.

"Please don't tell me what I think that is," Dean said to the angels quietly as his eyes bugged in disbelief.

Castiel coughed slightly in embarrassment for Dean as he took in the item. He then looked up at Gabriel questioningly and Gabriel shrugged at him.

"It cant really be helped you two," Gabriel said to them, "either Dean wears this and his mind will have full free choice and his soul wont influence him, or he doesn't and he can keep fighting this and doubting it till the end of time."

Dean looked up at Gabriel and frowned at him, "What does it do exactly?" he asked the archangel suspiciously.

Gabriel explained, "It's a special collar that humans can wear around their necks to remain unclouded from their emotions and allow themselves to make full judgements with all of their rational thinking in place; it also alleviates the more baser instincts of humanity. Sometimes angel mates in the past, the few that happened between humans anyways, they thought that the angels were forcing them into these kinds of unions. In order to pacify them and show them that the decisions they were making were fully their own we created these collars that they could wear as the angels courted them. It worked extremely well in all cases actually. The humans felt at ease with us then and when they were ready they took the collars off and realized that they were making the right decisions in the end."

Dean gazed quietly at the collar, "So umm let me get this straight, I either wear the collar and know that any feelings I feel towards you are genuine and not forced and that its my own decision to have you as a partner as well; or I don't wear the collar and constantly doubt myself in this case with you."

"Yup," Gabriel said popping the p at the end, "that's pretty much how it goes Dean. It's up to you but this collar will also slow down any desire to mate with me as well."

Dean blushed beat red at that, "What do you mean?"

Gabriel shrugged, "Well usually when a human has found their angelic mate they can sometimes pounce on them if the urge is strong enough. You have to remember its more than a physical union it's a union between souls. To prevent this from happening these collars dampen the mating instincts of humans so that they can choose when they want that to happen with a particular angel. The soul is put into a deep sleep on that angel and does not even recognize its own mate standing right beside it. In other words you'll have no temptation to be with me unless you really want to. Then if that day should come we take the collar off and get down to business," Gabriel said as he winked lewdly at the hunter.

Dean rolled his eyes at him, "Ok but how does it know to only affect me when it comes to you? I don't want it effecting me and Cass."

Gabriel picked the collar up again from the table and showed Dean a tiny vial that was embedded in the leather that made up the collar. Pointing to it Gabriel explained.

"This right here is a vial of my blood Dean," Gabriel explained, "whoever's blood is in it will make the wearer of the collar able to resist the call and pull of that particular person. Right now my blood is in the collar so you don't have to worry about that. We just need to put it on you."

Dean nodded as he licked his lips in thought, "And if I choose never to accept you what happens then?"

Gabriel's eyes clouded with sorrow at Dean's question, "Then you have to wear the collar for the rest of your life I'm afraid Dean otherwise the bond will grow and become strong again to where there will come a time where you wont be able to resist it anymore," Gabriel explained.

Dean stared in shock at the small piece of leather that Gabriel held in his hands. His mind was running a thousand miles a minute he swore. The implications that came with all of this mind boggled him and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to cope in the end.

Looking over at Cass sitting directly across from him Dean took in the angels worried stare as he watched his mate. Dean could see worry and grief clouding Cass's eyes. He had a feeling that he knew what Cass was thinking.

Castiel stared at Dean with a sad frown on his features. He was furious that there was no way that he could change the predicament that the three of them were in; but as the seconds ticked by and Castiel came to realize that Gabriel was their missing link he started to wonder if he could ever actually lay a finger on the archangel. He knew that he could never defeat him in battle but to protect Dean he would do anything. His grief came from watching Dean as he fretted with this decision and the mounting possibilities it could mean.

Dean bit his bottom lip as he tossed and turned ideas around in his head. Suddenly, he jumped and looked down at his hands clasped on the table top, but now another hand was covering them. Dean looked up and saw Castiel watching him intently. His clear blue eyes were trained on him steadily as he seemed to read his mind.

Dean swallowed as he felt his stomach twist and turn. Castiel sighed.

"Dean regardless you need the collar so that you do not feel forced into anything," Castiel said to the hunter gently, "I would never allow Gabriel to force you into any unwanted union but I need you to know that for yourself that the decision in the end is yours."

Dean nodded his head, "I think your right Cass."

Standing up from the table he walked over to Gabriel who still stood holding the collar, "Ok how do we do this? Do I attach it?"

Gabriel shook his head negatively, "No it has to be an angel for starters, and at that, one that is the human in questions mate or a possible mate."

Dean nodded at this as he felt a flurry of butterflies seem to go off in his stomach. Swallowing nervously he shook off the feeling and turned his back on the archangel.

"Ok lets get this puppy on then and get this show on the road," Dean said impatiently.

Feeling the leather of the collar be looped around, Dean bunched his hands as he felt Gabriel's hands touching his neck and then the slight tightening of the collar around his throat. He heard the faint clicking of the buckle as it cinched closed and then he felt the most particular sensation. It felt as if the sudden fire that had been swirling deep in his belly get whooshed out of him and he calmed down instantly. He didn't feel any butterflies rolling around, no nervous tension around the angel, and in particular, although he would never admit it to the two angels, he didn't feel an insane desire to jump in bed with the archangel.

He could still feel his bond with Cass and that it was still churning below the surface, becoming stronger after the poison incident. His mark on his shoulder from the angel still tingled and slightly burned when the collar settled but it died off relatively quickly.

The collar itself as well cooled instantly after ten seconds of being clasped around his throat. As soon as Gabriel had fastened it, it had grown white hot to the point where he had winced thinking that it had left a scar; now however he could only feel the cool leather against him as it slowly heated up from his body temperature.

Walking over to the mirror he looked at his reflection. Instantly his eyes were drawn to the black band that encircled his neck. Touching it lightly he took it in. The black leather gleamed even in the muted lighting of the room. It appeared oily as he stared at it but as his he ran his fingers across it, it was smooth as polished leather and even more supple. He could see stitched in the collar was a vial that looked about the size of pill capsule. Inside it was dark with blood and Dean gulped as he realized that this was Gabriel's blood.

Turning back to the angels Dean looked at them. He swallowed again as he noticed them watching him closely. As he swallowed he felt the slight constricting of the collar around his throat but shrugged it off; it was just another thing that he had to become used to over time.

Gabriel stared at him intently, "Well how do you feel?"

Dean shrugged, "Pretty good I suppose," Dean replied nonchalantly.

Gabriel nodded at this as if expecting nothing less. Castiel stood from his chair, "Dean I know this is the only way but are you sure about this?"

Dean just stared at the angel, "Jee Cass I hope that wasn't supposed to make me feel any better because it didn't work."

Castiel nodded, "My apologies Dean."

Dean sighed at this, "It's fine Cass."

He couldn't handle it when his partner was upset, and besides, it was better if just one of them was upset never mind two of them.

Gabriel nodded, "Well since that's all taken care of I think we should move on to the main issue here!"

"Hang on a sec!" Dean shouted over the archangels jubilant cries, "you still have to tell me, how this effects you and Cass? Like you guys aren't going to get all Godzilla on each other over me are you?"

Gabriel pffed at him, "Don't flatter yourself Deano, as if I would get all macho over you."

Dean glared at the shrimp of an archangel standing in front of him.

Castiel looked up at the ceiling and mumbled, "Why me?"

"But in answer to your question the answer is no, we won't get all macho over you Dean," Gabriel began to explain, "see the bond is quirky like that, it actually creates a bond between me and Cass as well, were more in tune with one another now and we share the same feelings for you."

Dean stared at the angel suspiciously, "And when you say you share the same feelings for me Gabriel what does that exactly mean between you and me?"

Gabriel glared at Dean, "It means I hate your guts kid so this could be rocky."

Castiel sighed in frustration at the two of them displaying such bitter animosity especially when he knew the two of them were linked closer than anything in all of creation, which included him in that as well. Castiel knew that currently since Dean was wearing the collar he couldn't feel the things him and Gabriel were experiencing but Gabriel still could. He was only playing this role with Dean to make it as easy for the hunter as he could. Dean could relate to this hostility when it came to Gabriel, but any other kinds of emotions would leave him confused and in desperate need of guidance. With this he could slowly sift through his feelings on his own time.

Castiel knew in time and with a little patience these two could become incredibly close, or more accurately the three of them could. Only time would tell and Castiel was willing to help the both of them.

Castiel finally queued back into the arguing pair in front of him. With a weary sigh he brushed some of his grace out towards the both of them and they both immediately stopped and turned to him. Castiel raised his eyebrows at this and placed his hand on his chin.

"Huh I didn't actually expect that to work," Castiel mumbled to himself.

Dean frowned at him, "What the hell Cass? What was that?"

Castiel shrugged, "I just brushed you both with my grace somewhat and you seemed to sense it and stopped. Apparently I have a strong enough bond with the both of you for my grace to make some kind of an impression. Something tells me this will come in handy later," Castiel mused.

Dean rolled his eyes, "This doesn't change anything you," he pointed an accusing finger at Gabriel to which he rolled his eyes, "I'm still pissed at you."

Gabriel just crossed his arms and smirked at him, "No your not."

Dean opened his mouth to shout an angry retort when Castiel said quite loudly, "Dean enough! Lets get this all straightened out alright?"

Dean took a large breath, "Fine."

Gabriel gave Dean one of his goofy grins, "It's alright Dean I'll make sure to keep a very careful eye on you," Gabriel replied lewdly as he eyed Dean up and down slowly.

Dean frowned at this blatant display of lust and crossed his arms in front of his chest, "You are such a perv-"

"Dean, Gabriel enough!" Castiel exclaimed in exasperation.

Dean and Gabriel immediately shut up at hearing Cass shout and stared at the angel in silence. Castiel could almost laugh at the looks on each of their faces as they waited tensely for him to say something to them.

"Dean finish asking your question; I have a feeling your not quite done yet," Castiel said gesturing at his mate.

Dean nodded his head, "Well what kind of bond will you two have? Like will you just be more in tune with one another or will it be deeper, like physical?"

Castiel and Gabriel looked at one another and frowned. They did not even know where this bond would exactly take the two of them. Only more time would tell but Castiel knew one thing for certain.

"Well Dean we do not know for sure where this bond will go," Castiel began, "but I do know one thing, nothing will happen with me and Gabriel unless you want him with us."

Dean stared in shock at his angel, "You mean if I don't agree to be with him, you won't either?"

Castiel nodded his head at this, "That is precisely what I mean."

Dean couldn't help but stare in shock at the level of devotion that his angel was showing him.

"But won't that affect you?" asked Dean hesitantly.

Castiel shrugged, "It may; but angels are more adept at controlling this kind of bond. Me and Gabriel can still feel each other but we can shut ourselves out to one another if we so choose to right now."

"Why can you two do that?" asked Dean as he looked between the two of them.

Gabriel looked at the hunter standing beside him, "It's because we have not fully recognized the other as part of our little threesome here. As long as that doesn't happen we can fully control how much we choose to feel when it comes to the other."

Castiel nodded in agreement at this, "Unfortunately for you Dean the bond doesn't work that way for you. Since your human you don't have a switch that you can adjust or turn off completely; hence the collar that you are now wearing. I cannot turn off my psychic bond from you like I can with Gabriel here, but I can mitigate it if I choose to. Gabriel is the same way; he will be drawn to you too but you two will not share the same psychic link for the time being or ever."

"What's the difference?" asked Dean.

"It's cause you two already screwed Deano, hence the bond. We haven't done that yet so me and you will not be that close," Gabriel explained as he gazed at the hunter with dark amber eyes.

Dean gulped again, "Well lets hope that that day doesn't come."

Gabriel just smirked at the hunter, "Never say never big boy."

Dean rolled his eyes again and that's when Castiel stood and walked closer to the two, "Dean for the time being me and Gabriel will take you somewhere we can properly court you."

Dean just stared in shock at Cass, "Umm Cass? Where are we going? And what do you mean by court?"

Castiel sighed, "Dean we need to give you time for your bond to solidify with me, once that happens me and Gabriel will be more at ease if we have some kind of stronger mental bond with you. There are also some things that you'll need to get used to as time goes on and the relationships between angel and human mates are very secretive; no other human will no of the procedures except the three of us. Even Sam must be kept in the dark about this."

Dean frowned as Castiel told him all of this, "But where are you two going to take me?"

Gabriel looked at him, "That's for us to know Dean and you to find out. For all we know as well there could be other aspects to this whole bond then either of us know. We need to be away from the world at large until things cool down with you."

"But I feel fine," Dean insisted to both angels.

Castiel shook his head, "Dean tomorrow you may not be, we have to specifically watch over you until our bond firmly cements itself; and like Gabriel has already pointed out, there may be things that happen with this bond that we may not know about or could shock us so we need to prepare."

Dean nodded as he listened to the two angels before him, "Ok but what about Sammy?"

Gabriel and Castiel glanced at each other quickly. Then Castiel turned to Dean, "Like I said Dean, Sam cannot know about these procedures. Or at least not in detail and besides angels and their mates usually have what humans call a honeymoon period where they bond more intimately. I am sure that Samuel will be fine here by himself until we return."

Dean was hesitant to agree with all of this but he had a feeling that the two standing in front of him wouldn't take no for an answer. Sighing he nodded his head as he accepted what the two angels said. Then he raised his head and looked at Gabriel.

"Cass and me on a honeymoon period I can understand but then why the hell are you coming with us? Planning on ruining the mood?" asked Dean acidly.

Gabriel shrugged his shoulders, "Well I am like that."

Before Dean could lose his temper again for what felt the hundredth time since they all started talking Castiel stepped in between them.

"Dean, Gabriel is accompanying us in order for you to fully understand if you want him as another mate," Castiel explained gently to his furious mate.

Dean huffed out a breath from his nostrils in frustration, "Fine, but I don't have to like it."

"And I can live with that," Gabriel replied cheerily.

Walking over to the bed he sprawled on it and took out a chocolate bar as he pealed off the wrapper and started to chew on the chocolate, moaning as it melted on his tongue.

Dean gave Castiel a look of "Really?" Castiel merely shrugged at this.

"So who exactly wants to break the news to Samsquatch?" Gabriel asked from his same position on the bed.

Dean groaned as he realized that he had to go through this next and smacked his forehead.

Gabriel merely chuckled at this and took another bite of the chocolate.

~x~

One Hour Later

~x~

An hour had passed since Dean had first began to break the story to his brother. Castiel had zapped him into the room with the blink of an eye. Sam had jolted awake and promptly fell off the bed smacking his head with a loud bang on the end table. Gabriel had burst out laughing at his poor brother's misfortune to which Dean had started a loud arguing match with him about. Castiel had merely rolled his eyes again and helped the younger Winchester while he waited for Dean and Gabriel to sort themselves out.

After ten minutes of intense arguing Dean had been ready to sit down and tell his brother what the angels had told him….well almost everything. Sam had sat in silence as he listened to Dean, nodding frequently at times to show he still was listening.

Finally, silence lapsed into the room as Dean finished and clasped his hands on top of the table; waiting for Sam to say something.

Sam took a few minutes to think over everything that he had been told. Soon enough he nodded, "Ok then I guess this is so long for a little while."

Dean stared at his brother in bafflement, "You mean that's it? No temper tantrum, no talking me out of it? Not even a tear for me!" he exclaimed in outrage.

Sam chuckled quietly, "Nah Dean; I mean don't get me wrong I am gonna miss you but I think it would be more helpful if you all sorted this stuff out and then we go hunting. You could be unstable man. Better to be safe rather than sorry."

Dean shrugged his shoulders, "I guess that's truthful."

Sam nodded, "Yeah go with them, Cass will take care of you, and when everything's good you know how to find me. Umm good luck with that one though."

At that Sam pointed a finger at Gabriel, to which he let out an indignant "Hey what's everyone's problem with me today?"

Dean chuckled at this, "Don't worry Sammy I can handle him."

Gabriel merely rolled his eyes and Sam laughed as he nodded to his brother happily, a twinkle burning in his eyes.

"Alright Dean ready to go?" asked Castiel from behind him.

Dean turned and nodded to the angel, "Yeah Cass I am."

Gabriel clapped his hands together, "Awesome lets boogie then!"

Standing up he came to stand on the other side of Dean as Castiel stood on the other. Sam looked at the three of them and had to wonder if they would ever work out fully. Smiling at them he nodded to Dean. Dean gave him the thumbs up and within the blink of an eye the three of them were gone from the room; only a faint whistling of wind showed that they had been here to begin with in the first place.

A/N: Ok so obviously not rushing into anything yet guys! I hope this was alright for you all and personally I'm pretty excited so I hope some of your are too! Chow for now :)
