Castiel had been having a bad day the entire morning. First it had started raining making it impossible to go to the park. Then he had snapped at Sam the other day and had gotten his toys taken away. And then he had put his beloved stuffed platypus down and couldn't remember where he had set it down at. And now Dean was hogging the TV therefore making it near impossible to watch his new movie.
The small angel, already in a bad mood, looked around for something to do. His eyes landed on the paper covered table and his small box of crayons. He knew that he probably shouldn't have, but there was nothing they could do to punish him for doing so. Silently he walked over to the table, pulled himself up into the chair, grabbed his box of crayons, and began drawing on the poster board of research without a care in the world.
Sam looked up from whatever it was he had been doing on his laptop when he noticed the silence, the unnatural silence, what with them housing a small child angel. Speaking of child angel, he wasn't sure what had been going on with their resident angel, but he had been acting differently.
The hunters eyes widened when he saw what Castiel was doing. Setting his laptop down on the table the hunter quickly stood up and made his way across the room to be at the baby angel's side.
"Just what are you doing!"
He grabbed the crayon out of the child's hand. Castiel looked up at him, glaring, and reached for his crayon box. Sam reached it before he could and pulled it up out of his reach.
"I thought that Michael told you not to draw on our research anymore!"
The small angel glared at him, but with the glare came the silence that proved his words to be true.
"Give me my crayons back!"
Sam frowned, unsure as to what he should do. He remembered when he had been younger and he had disobeyed his dad, he'd been sent to the corner. Making his mind up, Sam pulled the box of crayons up out of reach and pointed at a corner.
"Time out corner"
Castiel looked shocked that he would dare try to chastise him. His eyes growing dark in anger at his audacity. The cup of juice Sam had been drinking exploded over on the table in response to the angels temper flipping. But Sam stood his ground pointing at the corner.
The light in the lamp exploded next, and the one next to it. Castiel clenched his hands into fists and the papers on the table began to sizzle and steam. Sam's eyes widened when he saw this, immediately figuring that he was way out of his league with this one. He backed up slowly. The hunter wasn't sure who had called for back up; him or Dean.
"That is enough Castiel"
Gabriel's voice cut through the room. Attention turned to the Archangel. His arms crossed across his chest, eyes stern as he looked across the room at his baby brother. With a snap of his fingers, the papers on the table righted themselves. He pointed towards the corner Sam had been moments ago.
"Corner"
Castiel turned his glare on his older brother, the archangel raised an eye brow at the child, said child stomped his foot on the seat of the chair as a whine broke from his mouth.
"Buuut Gaaaabrieeeel!"
However, the messenger angel simply shook his head.
"You will not be told again Castiel, Corner. Now"
Castiel stomped his feet, whining as he jumped down from the chair and stomped across the room to the corner. This wasn't fair, all he wanted to do was play with someone cause he was bored and now he was being punished! And, to top that off, Gabriel had taken their side! They were all just being big fat j-.
"Finish that thought child, and we can thoroughly discuss your use of curse words after your time out is over"
Castiel looked over at them all, not particularly happy that Gabriel could hear his thoughts. His big brother had since walked over to sit next to Dean as they watched whatever it was that was playing on the television. Without looking up at him, Gabriel's reprimanding voice carried throughout the room.
"Nose in the corner"
The child huffed but did as he was told. He wasn't sure how long he had stood in that corner with his forehead pressed against the wall. All he knew was that he stood there long enough to cool down in his anger and to realize that none of these meanies wanted to have any fun. After a few more minutes of boredom and reflection his big brothers voice traveled across the room again.
"Come here Cassie"
Castiel pushed himself off the wall, dragging his feet across the floor until he was standing in front of his big brother. Gabriel looked back up at him with the eyes of a big brother.
"Why were you in time out?"
Castiel kicked at the rug with his small foot for a moment, his big brother eyes never leaving his, before he looked up to meet Gabriel's golden gaze.
"Cause I was bad"
"And?"
"And I disobeyed"
"And?"
"And cause I didn't listen"
Gabriel nodded, "Don't you have something you should say to Sammy?"
Castiel kicked at the carpet again before he looked over at the large hunter with big blue eyes.
"I'm sorry for drawin on your board Sam"
The bigger Winchester nodded his head, smiling, indicating that he was forgiven. Castiel turned back towards his big brother, letting out a small squeak when arms wrapped around him and he was pulled up into Gabriel's lap. He was settled back up against his brothers chest and could feel his hair and breath when he leaned down to talk.
"Now, what's gotcha acting like such a grump?"
Castiel was silent, wiggling when he felt fingers walk across his tummy. Gabriel smiled over his shoulder, his little baby brother could be so adorable.
"Come on Cassie! Talk to me!'
"...I just wants to play with someone...I's bored"
Gabriel smiled. He was a trickster, and a big brother. He knew how to cure boredom.
"Your bored? Well we can't have that can we?"
The fingers were walking across his tummy again making him wiggle around in Gabriel's lap, and giggle. Those mean fingers walked up under his shirt and wiggled across the soft skin of his tummy. His giggles intensified when a finger found its way into his belly button, his tiny hands flew down to try and pull his big brothers hand and his mean wiggling fingers free from his ticklish tummy. Gabriel smiled over his shoulder.
"Gahahaby! Stohop!"
"What? But I thought you wanted to play?"
Even Sam and Dean had to smile when the small angel child let out a cute little squeal when those tickly fingers found a sensitive spot on the right side of his belly button.
"What's wrong little one? Ticklish tummy?"
"Gabey no tickles! Noho tihickles!"
Gabriel laughed with him when a small giggle filled whine snuck into his voice. The archangel only stopped when he felt the youngster was no longer a grumpy grouch and wrapped him up in a cuddle hug. Placing a kiss to his temple, Gabriel nuzzled his soft hair with his chin.
"Feeling better kiddo?"
Cassie nodded, snuggling into his big brother chest, content to simply lay there until he fell asleep (and Gabriel looked content to let him do as such). The messenger smiled, placed one more kiss on his soft hair, and turned back towards the movie they'd been watching.
So I hope the ending was ok! And I hope you liked it!
Happy thanksgiving by the way! Gobble Gobble!
