Do You Love Me?
Author Note: Sorry about the lateness again... :( It took a lot of thinking to come up with this one and I'm hoping that it's not too terrible! Special thanks to CastiellaWinchester94 (they will find out what's going on, they always do), RainyDays-and-DayDreams, doglady.1 and It's Steve Now for the (as always) lovely reviews. I really an sorry about Charlie. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. xx
Day 10 - With Animal Ears
When Castiel appeared in the impala he could feel the tension of unspoken questions. He knew that there would be many after what Raphael had said but he was really hoping he wouldn't have to answer them.
Luckily for him Dean didn't wan to ask them. He wasn't completely happy with the fact that his new boyfriend (that fact still seemed a little odd to him) was keeping secrets from him but he was sure that Castiel would tell him in his own time. He knew that everyone had their secrets and he had plenty so it wasn't right to force Castiel's out of him.
OoO
"Baby Bro, Dean-o, Samsquatch!" Gabriel greeted them as they all wandered through the door.
"Gabriel," they all greeted practically at the same time.
"What's with the formality?" he asked before rising his arms and announcing, "Never mind, I have a game for us to play!"
Everyone froze. Out of experience the Winchesters had many valid reasons to doubt what Gabriel described as a 'game' would be any fun. Many of the archangels 'games' involved the demise of Dean or another party and while the man himself enjoyed it, those caught up in it weren't that keen.
"I'm not so sure-" Dean started before he was quickly cut off by a sharp click form Gabriel that seemed to echo around the house.
For a moment everyone braced themselves for some sort of time warp to appear or an explosion to happen but when it didn't their suspicion increased.
Dean turned to Sam to say something but instead took one look and burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at Ass hat?" Sam asked looking down at his brother before joining him in his laughter, "Dude, what have you got on your head?"
"Why are you both-" Castiel began before tiliting his head and staring at both Winchesters confused, "Why do you both have tails and ears? I wasn't aware of those before now."
They both stopped laughing and looked at Castiel.
"Wait, I have them too," Dean asked moving his hands sowly to the top of his head. Sure enough he felt two soft extra flaps on top of his head nestled in his hair.
"Oh you are so dead!" he yelled turning on the grinning Gabriel with a look of pure hatred.
"Gaberiel, what the fuck man!" Sam shouted looking at him with one of his many famous 'bitch faces'.
"I wanted to make it more realistic and er hello, trickster!" he smiled gesturing to himself with a cocky smirk on his face.
"You dick. I'll get you for this."
"Yeah, I'd like to see you try," he replied waving a hand dismissively in the older Winchester's direction and taking a step away from them, "Do you want to know the rules or not?"
"I'm not sure I understand what is happening," Castiel voiced as he took his eyes off the brown ears on top of Dean's head to turn to his brother.
"I'm glad you asked little Cassie," Gabriel said turning around with his arms outstretched in a gesture of pure showmanship, "I have made the house into a giant game of 'Mouse Trap'."
Everyone's mouths flew open.
"Why in God's name would you want to do that?" Sam asked breathily as he tried to think of a reason why an archangel with the power to do as he pleased, would do this. As he had suspected, nothing came to mind.
"I get bored Sambo but it's mainly because I wanted to humiliate you all, say cheese," he sad as the falsh blinded all three when he took a picture. Their shocked but threatening facial expressions were priceless and that picture could definitely be used for blackmailing later on.
"That's not a valid reason you son of a bitch," Dean said stepping towards the archangel menacingly but getting nowhere near him. He was violently shoved back by an invisible force and right into Castiel causing them to both topple onto the floor.
"Get a room you two!" Gabriel yelled with a small smirk as the two fumbled around on the floor awkwardly trying to get up, "You can't leave your square without rolling the dice!"
Sam looked at Gabriel and raised an unimpressed eyebrow, "And where is Bobby?"
"All in good time dear Sammy! Now who wants to go first?" he beamed at them all.
OoO
"This game makes no fucking sense!" Dean yelled for about the fifth time as he was stood on a part of the flooring that had black numbers on it. The numbers at his feet this time were 2 and 3.
"Dean-o, chop chop we haven't got all day! Built the trap for goodness sake!" Gabriel shouted around his lolly pop as he gazed down at them all from the top of the stairs.
"Shut up dickhead!" he yelled back looking around as he spotted some of the giant pieces of plastic Gabriel had pointed out earlier to be 'pieces of the trap'.
Dean really wasn't sure what was going on. He had just wanted to spend the day with Castiel. As strong as Castiel was, seeing Raphael again after what he had done to him must have been hard. He wanted to just have a day to themselves so Dean could show him that he was there for Castiel and that he was safe. But now, Gabriel had ruined that. He must have been kidding himself to have thought that he was ever going to get to spend time with Castiel when Gabriel was around the house.
"Just do it Dean!" Sam shouted at him from his space a little further back in the kitchen.
Dean sighed loudly and looked at all the pieces in front of him. He picked one up and looked at it confused. He could fix cars with no instructions in the slightest by just using his common sense and knowledge of how machinery works but this was just impossible.
"Where on earth does this go?" he mummbled under his breath before making an unattractive noise of surprise when it was lifted out of his grasp and into place by Gabriel.
"You're welcome but next time move it along!" Gabriel shouted with a smirk as Dean stuck his middle finger up at the sandy haired angel, "Take this cheese!"
Gabriel clicked his fingers and dropped a block of plastic cheese on Dean's head.
"You DICK!" Dean yelled rubbing his head and glaring at the currently laughing angel eating a toffee and balanced on the banister.
OoO
"How do I free Dean from the cage?" Castiel asked looking worriedly at Dean who was sat pouting slightly underneath a bright yellow, plastic cage.
Sam had managed to spring the trap on Dean who was now sat sulking in it but due to his lack of cheese pieces, Sam had been unable to trap Castiel along with him. The youngest angel was now trying to reason with the archangel to get his love freed.
"Cassie, you aren't meant to free him!" Gabriel shouted once more, "The aim of the game is to trap everyone in the cage."
"But I don't see why I can't free him," Castiel called back, glacing at Dean again.
"This sentiment is too sweet even for me. Shut up Castiel and just get on with the game!" Gabriel shouted.
With another click of his fingers the trap reset and Dean was lifted out of the cage, by his tail, and into another that Gabriel had fabricated for storing him while the other two played the game to it's end.
"Hey Cass!" Dean called out to the sad looking angel, "Just beat my bitch of a brother and then I can get out of here!"
"Jerk!" Sam called back with a small smile. He had to admit that seeing his older brother stuck in a small yellow cage with drooping ears and tail did make him chuckle a little.
"Okay Dean," Castiel replied smiling at him slightly before turning all his attention to the task at hand. Beating Sam and setting Dean free.
OoO
"Damit!" Sam shouted as the cage came crashing down millimetres from the tip of his deilcate pink tail.
Castiel had finally managed to succeed and had finally trapped Sam.
"Well done baby brother. You win and for that victory I will set the love of your life free!" he said overexaggeratedly and with a click of his fingers Dean was in Castiel's arms bridal style.
The two blushed bright red before Dean jumped out of his arms and coughed loudly and gruffly trying to retain some of his manhood.
With another click of his fingers the plastic trap they had constructed disappeared along with the cheese they had collected and the house returned to normal.
"And Bobby?" Sam asked stretching out his limbs (that included his tail) and looking around himself for Bobby.
"Oh him," Gabriel said as he appeared beside him in chains that soon vanished.
"YA IDJIT!" Bobby yelled at the archangel beside him, "What ya been doing with my house."
"Calm in old man. Just some harmless fun, it's exactly how you left it."
"And now us. Take these damn things off. They're begin to freak me out," Dean said gesturing to his head where the ears were twitching slightly and his tail wrapped around one of his legs.
Gabriel looked away quickly, running his hand through the front of his hair, "About the... costume," he started, "It's a little harder to get rid of than it was to give you. I borrowed those on a strict 2 day basis!"
The glares that the previously cocky and confident archangel got could reduce weaker men to slush just with the pure heated rage eminatting from them.
"Gabriel!" They all yelled through gritted teeth as they ran at him. Mice don't normally do the chasing do they?
Author Note: There you go. I hope you enjoyed that and I'm really sorry about it being a little late again but one of my friends was having a problem that I wanted to get sorted out before I continued to write this.
Not one of my best I feel but I was struggling to come up with a reason for animal ears and this was something that I came up with. It took me so long to learn the rules (ish) to 'Mouse Trap' before I even started writing the chapter! XD There was only a small mention of 'the secret' that Raphael told them existed but don't fret I shall get back to that. Maybe next time, maybe not but it will get discussed!
Next chapter is during a festive holiday and since there aren't any coming up and on one of their birthdays is an entirely different prompt what holiday do you think I should do? I could do fathers day, easter... anything really. Give me suggestions and I'll pick one to use.
I just want to say thank you again for reading. I would love to read what you think so leave a review telling me and I'll love you a load more (if that's even possible!). If you like this story then follow and/or favourite. Thank you so much for reading again again and I can't wait to upload tomorrow (today really) Byeeeeee xx
