It was saturday afternoon. Sam, Dean and Jo were standing in front of the impala, waiting for Gabe and the others. Dean was a little nervous because 'others', included Castiel, and only the thought of being around him after the past ... well rather strange days.
Jo was babbling about who will be there and how great it's going to be, she was pretty excited and Dean found it a little cute, while Sam started to get a little annoyed. Dean started to think that he was maybe just as nervous as he was. He could tell that his brother liked Gabe and the other way around. Like, c'mon they actually wanted to go on a date instead of Belas party so things probably started to get serious between those two.
Sams face lit up like a christmas tree when Gabe pulled up next to the impala. Dean laughed and boxed him playfully.
"Easy lover boy.", he said and grinned at his brother who turned red in an instant. Dean started to laugh again and Jo chuckled lightly.
"Heya guys!", Gabe yelled as he got out of his car. He walked towards Sam with a broad grin, wich the taller boy returned happyly. "Hey Gabe."
Dean shook his head and patted his brothers shoulder. "We gonna go now or what?"
"Yeah about that...", Gabe looked back at his car. "They're gonna drive with you, I'll take Sam."
Dean raised an eyebrow at him. "Wait you mean like, Charlie, Alfie, Cas and Jo? And you just take Sam?"
Gabriel crossed his arms in front of his chest, "Yeah, since this is actually supposed to be a date, we deserve a little privacy."
Dean sighed. "You're lucky my car is big enough Novak. C'mon Sammy go with your boyfriend."
Jo started laughing and even Gabe chuckled a little, while Sam glared at his brother. "Dean!"
The older Winchester winked at his brother and pushed him towards Gabe a little. "Tell them they can get in. See ya lover boy."
Sam mumbled somethink like 'jerk' and picked his bag up from the ground. Gabe grinned and walked back to his car.
"Okay out of my car guys.", he said as he opened the door for the others.
Dean heard Charlie laugh as she got out of the car. She was followed by a giggling Samandriel and - well Cas was not exactly laughing or something like that, he looked rather ... nervous, maybe? Dean tried not to look at him for too long, he was still not quite sure what it was that Castiel did to him, but whenever he looked over to the dark haired Boy he wasn't able to look away anymore. He shook his head slightly and got in on the drivers seat. Jo opened the door on the passenger side and attempted to sit next to Dean but he shook his head and nodded towards the back.
She groaned, "Seriously Dean?"
He laughed "Yeah and now get in the back."
She snorted and shut the door again. She sat down in the back and pouted like a five year old. Charlie and Alfie got in the car behind Jo. Cas stood next to the car and frowned a little, trying to figure out what to do. There was no seat left in the back, so technically he could sit up front with Dean, but he wasn't really sure if he should do that. Because a) When Jo had tried to get in on the front seat Dean told her to get in on the back and b) it was a rather long drive to Bela's and he didn't know if he would be okay to stay as that close to Dean for so long. In the last few days he had tried to avoid Dean a little, it was difficult for him to be around him after their 'blind date'. He was really trying to be friends with Dean, but the more they spent time together the more he started to admire Dean. And not only because of his looks.
"Hey, c'mon! Get in.", Deans voice ripped him out of his thoughts. He had wound down the car window and smiled a littlle.
Castiel took a shaky breath and gripped his small bag a little thighter before nodding and getting in on the passenger seat.
"How did you even get Castiel to come with you? I mean, I share a room with him and he's reading most of the time, he actually never leaves- except when he's going on for a run. He just doesn't seem like a party person to me...", Sam said and looked over at Gabe, still not able to remove this big goofy smile from his face. They've been driving for a little while already, just chatting while some music was playing in the background.
Gabe laughed and looked at Sam aswell. "A magician never gives away his secrets Sammy boy. But I guess I can at least tell you one of the tricks I used to get Cassie to come with us.", Gabriel said and smirked before turning his attention back to the street.
"And that would be?", Sam asked and raised an eyebrow.
"Your brother.", Gabriel said with a broad grin.
Sam laughed, "I probably should have expected that. What did you tell him?"
"I told him that Dean would be there and that it was a pool party, wich means shirtless Dean and - what a surprise - he agreed.", Gabriel explained in between laughters.
Sam suddenly stopped laughing. When Gabe turned around to look at him the younger boy looked out of the window. "What?"
"Gabe I guess that's not gonna happen."
"What do you mean?", Gabe asked a little confused.
Sam sighed, "Dean never exposes his chest or arms in public."
The blond boy frowned, "Doesn't he ever go swimming?"
Sam shook his head.
Now that Gabriel thought about it he noticed that Sam was right, Dean always slept with a shirt on and in the morning he always changed when he was in the bathroom. "Why?"
"I can't tell you Gabe.", Sam said. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I trust you, I do, but it's something Dean and I don't talk about. He would kill me if I told anyone."
Gabriel nodded. "Yeah, that's okay..."
He knew that Situation, there were things his family didn't talk about either, even if they probably should.
They fell into silence, the only noise that could be heard was the engine of the car and the soft Sound of music playing. They drove on like that for a while. The song changed and Sam wrinkled his nose. Heat of the moment by Asia.
He and Gabriel groaned in unision. Sam looked at Gabe and the older boy looked right back at him. They broke out into fits of laughter.
"I really hate that song.", Gabe laughed.
Sam nodded, "Yeah, me too. Guess I just heard it way too often."
"Shall I skip it?"
Sam smiled at him, "Yeah, please."
At some point Dean had passed them, so when the arrived at Bela's the Impala was already standing in the driveway of the Talbots mansion. Sams jaw dropped as the huge white building came in sight. Gabe shook his head and laughed a little. It was cute how amazed Sam looked at the mansion.
"She really lives there?", he asked still not taking his eyes off the mansion.
"Yeah she does, but it's a little too much if you ask me.", Gabriel said as he parked his own car next to the Impala. "Okay Samster, before we go in there, there are a few things I should tell you about Bela's partys."
Sam turned to look at Gabe and frowned a little. "Uhm okay?"
"First of all, if one of those bitches tries to touch you call me, I'll handle them. Second: Don't - and I really mean don't - drink the punch she'll give you. I swear this stuff is deadly.", Gabriel explained, "Try to stay with me so you wont get lost in there, and stay sober as long as possible, because otherwise things could get a little out of Hand. Trust me."
Sam nodded, "Okay I got that. Was that it?"
"Mhm yeah, yeah that's it.", Gabriel grinned, "Now c'mon let's have fun."
"Gabbyyyyy!", Bela sqealed as she came running out of the house onto the yard straight towards Gabriel and Sam. "Why are you so late? The others were here half a hour ago already!"
She was already slightly slurring, mixed with her british accent it turned into a barely understandable mess of words. The half empty bottle of tequila in her right hand explained a lot. She threw herself at Gabe and giggled like a five year old.
Sam raised his eyebrows and cleared his throat. "Uhm, excuse me?"
Bela looked up at him and giggled again, "Oohhh right, you must be his date."
"Yeah he is.", Gabriel said as he shoved her off of him.
She grinned broadly, exposing two rows of perfect white teeth. "Sam, right? Jess nearly fell off her chair when I said you were comming."
When both of them frowned at her in confusion, she rolled her eyes. "Never mind. Gabby you know where you can get changed, I expect both of you in the backyard in five minutes."
With those words she hopped back inside. Sam looked down at Gabe with a raised eyebrow. Gabe shrugged, "She's always the first to get drunk. Don't mind her, she'll be after your brother all the time anyways."
Sam shook his head and chuckled lightly.
On their way to the guest rooms they were nearly hit by flying bottles a few times and a bunch of girls in bikinis ran into them, they didn't even apollogise they just giggled and continued to run through the house. Things were thrown around, loud music was blasting from every corner and it seemed like the whole house was a mess already - it was not even five pm.
Gabriel laughed at Sams confused expression. "Where are her parents, do they even know what's going on here?"
"Well I think they're in spain at the moment, since Bela is 15 years old they decided to give her a weekend alone. They call it the 'Bermuda weekend', everything that happens on this weekend never leaves this Weekend."
"Oh, wow. Thats kinda cool of them I guess..."
Gabriel shrugged again. "Well if you set aside that it's probably just because her parents got devorced when she was little and her mothers new guy now tries to get her affection by buying her stuff and letting her do what she wants, then yeah it's pretty cool."
They had finally arrived at the third floor where the guestrooms were. Gabe checked two of them and as soon as he was sure that no one was in there he motioned Sam to get in. "You better lock the door, if something's wrong I'm in the room on your right."
Sam nodded and smiled a little before turning around and disappearing into the empty room.
A few minutes later he left the room again with his bag over his shoulder, Gabriel was already waiting for him. He was leaning against the wall and smirking broadly. Gabe was wearing shiny golden trunks, their color was matching his eyes and his hair. Without all those layers of clothing Sam could actually see Gabes body shape for once. He was not skinny, but not what you would call muscular either, rather something in between. His skin was slightly toned and mixed up well with all those different shades of gold. There was something on his shoulder, black and golden... was that a tattoo?
Sam frowned slightly, but then he was ripped out of his thoughts by Gabriel who slightly cleared his throat. Sam looked up quickly and was met with a mischievous smirk.
"Sammy I know that I'm hot, but I think you should continue to stare later when we're in the yard. Bela doesn't like it when people are late.", the smaller boy said smugly.
Sam felt his face heat up in an instant and looked at Gabe with wide eyes, but the only reaction it got from the blond boy was a small laugh. He leaned in a little closer and got on his tiptoes. "You're looking gorgeous too by the way.",he whispered before turning away again and walking down the stairs.
Sams eyes widened even more as he hurried to follow Gabriel down the stairs. Now that he was behind him he could get a better look at the thing on his shoulder. It was a tattoo, a single golden wing on his left shoulder. It was pretty detailed and well shaded.
"You didn't tell me you had a tattoo.", Sam said, still looking at the small wing.
"Hm? Oh you mean my wing?", Gabriel grinned proudly. "Looks cool right? I'm getting my second one this year."
"Yeah it really looks great. How did you get it?", Sam had now caught up with Gabriel again.
"Well it's kind of a really - and I mean, really - old tradition in my fathers family. On your 14th birthday there's a ceremony, were you get to choose, grace or wings.", he looked up at Sam who frowned a little. "Those are two of the features that differ angels from humans. Our forefathers used to believe that, if you carry one of those symbols, their power might affect you too and you'll get closer to perfection. My family has always been religious as fuck, also explains why I'm named after an angel."
"So you chose wings?", Sam asked and raised an eyebrow.
"Well, yeah. When I was little my father explained this stuff to me and showed me his wings, they are beautiful, in a shining light blue. Ever since then I wanted my own, but after your decision you have to wait till you're 16 for your first wing and then til you're 18 for your second one.", Gabe laughed.
Sam chuckled lightly, "What about Cas?"
Gabriel smiled proudly, "My brave little Cassie chose wings. He's getting his tatt' next month."
Sam smiled down at Gabe, whose golden eyes glinted happyly.
"GAAAABBYYYYY!", Belas squeal broke their eyecontact. Gabe groaned. "Great.", he muttered.
"Gabby come over, we're doing belly shots!", Bela shouted from the outside.
Gabe shook his head and sighed before looking up at Sam again, "This is gonna be a long Party."
Sam laughed a little. "Yeah."
