This chapter doesn't go with what I was originally planning and I'm not sure how good it is. Please review! Good or bad
Gabriel and Castiel ended up sleeping over, since they had arrived so late. Dean and Sam made room for their friends and soon all four of them were asleep in the living room. It was the first time in a while they all slept peacefully.
Sam was nervous when he woke up about Gabriel and what would happen, but all thoughts flew out the window when Gabe grabbed Sam's hand. Cas smiled and Dean raised his eyebrows and patted Sam on the back. Gabriel laughed at Sam's red face and ruffled his hair. They all headed off to school, and the Novaks had to borrow clothes, much to Dean's dismay. Since Gabriel was so much shorter than everyone else, he only took a shirt from Sam that had been outgrown last year, but Dean and Cas were practically the same size.
News travelled fast about Gabriel and Sam, and the two of them noticed they were being referred to as "Sabriel" which amused Gabe to no end. Sam was annoyed people were talking about them.
"Aww, come on Sammy, lighten up."
"I just want people to focus on something else."
"Like another couple?"
"Sure, I guess."
"Because I'm pretty sure our brothers are hot for each other."
Sam started coughing into his drink, and Gabriel threw his head back in laughter. "Did you not know?"
"I knew but..." Sam shook his head and glared at his boyfriend. "Did not need to hear it like that."
"Aw, Sam." Gabe smiled and gave Sam a quick kiss before they headed off to their separate classes.
Sam could feel eyes on him as he walked through the hall. He knew that not everyone in his school was okay with gays, and while Gabriel was well liked, Sam had no friends outside Dean, Gabe, and Cas. He could hear the harsh words whispered behind his back, and while he was mostly free of John, the students around him hurt almost as much. He sure as hell wasn't telling anyone though, because his friends had just stopped looking at him like he was going to break any second. Besides, he could handle it.
Later, Dean stopped by the bookstore where Cas worked afternoons, and Dean had an important question to ask.
"Hello, Dean," Cas greeted.
"Hey, Cas." Dean walked up to where Cas was pulling books from the shelves. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Of course Dean. I do not know why you sound so nervous."
"I'm nervous because I want to know if you'd like to go outonadatesometime?" Dean's voice rose a pitch and sped up by the end of the sentence, and was honestly surprised Cas understood.
He smiled at Dean and nodded, and Dean visibly relaxed into the shelf behind him, knocking a few books to the floor. Cas laughed and helped Dean pick them up.
Dean and Cas went out on their date a few days after that, and Sam and Gabe were Gabriel's apartment, trying to pick something to watch on Netflix. No surprise, Sam had already seen a lot of the geeky shows and movies, and finally Gabriel picked a romantic comedy to annoy Sam with.
A few minutes into the movie, the younger Winchester's phone buzzed, and he looked at his screen, puzzled. It was Dean. He excused himself and picked up the phone.
"Dean? What's wrong?"
"Where are you?"
"Gabiel''s apartment."
"Okay. Good. Stay there, please don't leave."
"Why? Dean, what's going on?"
"WIll you stay?"
"Not unless you tell me what's going on!"
Gabriel could hear the worry in Sam's voice, and approached him, silently asking what was happening.
"They found dad."
Sam froze. "What do you mean, they found him?"
"Sammy," Dean's voice was filled with pain. "They found his body."
The phone slipped through Sam's grasp as he hear Dean and Gabriel calling out his name. After a second, he picked up the phone again. "Dean?"
"Yeah?"
"Do they know the cause?"
"Yeah."
"What was it?"
"It wasn't you, Sammy. It was alcohol poisoning."
Sam breathed into the phone and then hung up, Gabriel's eyes searching.
Dad was drunk that night, and Sam and Dean were sitting in their cramped room, praying that they would be left alone, although they doubted it. Sure enough, soon John was calling for Sam, and after telling Dean he'd be alright, the youngest Winchester was tense as he went to meet his father.
John was laughing and he offered Sam a beer, who took it, too afraid to say no. John patted the spot next to him, and Sam sat down and sipped at the beer.
"You're in a good mood." Sam said softly.
John chuckled and grabbed onto Sam with one hand and grabbed a knife with another. Sam let out a small yelp and tried to back away, but John's grip was tight. John slapped Sam into silence, an drew the blade over Sam's stomach. Sam fought back, knocking John off the couch and wrestling for the knife. Dean still couldn't hear them. Sam finally got a good grip on the knife, but before John let it go he slashed Sam across his stomach, deeper than the first cut. Sam finally cried out, and this time Dean heard. He rushed down just in time to see Sam plunge the knife into John's leg, and the eldest Winchester stumbled out of the house as Dean ran to a horrified Sam. It was the last time they say John, and vowed not to tell. So when John went missing, Sam assumed the worst, and soon John was pronounced dead, with Sam thinking he killed his father.
He spiraled down after that.
Sam was aware of Gabriel staring at him, and Sam considered telling Gabe, but decided against it. He did however tell that they found the body.
After all, some things were better as a secret.
