Sam woke up covered in sweat with Gabriel pushed up against him. It was only seven, but he couldn't get back to sleep when he was this hot. Looking around, Sam saw that there was an extra blanket on the bed and the thermostat was turned up to seventy-five. He peeled himself out of the bed before turning down the temperature and opening a window up. Gabriel shifted before mumbling something that Sam thought was, "Why are you awake?"
"Did you touch the thermostat?"
"What?"
"Last night? And put another blanket on the bed?"
"I was cold."
"It's like a sauna in there oh god. I'm going to take a cold shower."
"Not too cold you don't have work until eleven."
"You would have had a better chance if you didn't turn on the fucking heat." Sam said as he ran a hand through his sweat-soaked hair.
Gabriel pouted, "I was cold."
"And you put off more heat than a furnace does!"
Gabriel looked at his hands before his shoulders slumped.
Sam sighed before saying, "I'll be five minutes. Just- just make breakfast or something."
Grinning, Gabriel threw the covers off of himself. "I'm timing you."
"Make me something too. Not chocolate in a bowl of milk either. Actually, no candy in any type of liquid."
"Why not?"
"Because it's not good! It's not a pleasant surprise!"
"Party pooper." Gabriel called over his shoulder as he strode into the kitchen.
Sam peeled his clothing off of himself before he stepped into the bathroom. Through the thin walls he heard what he prayed wasn't a glass plate falling.
"Fuck!"
Sam rolled his eyes. It was the chocolate bowl. Gabriel wouldn't care if he dropped a glass bowl. He broke one of Cas's before and the only thing that he said was, "It was from Michael." Sam was glad that Gabriel didn't like expensive glasses. He was perfectly content with a paper bowl if he had one. Sam thanked god that Gabriel was like that because he rarely had time to wash the amount of dishes he used alone, so if they threw in the amount of plates and bowls Gabriel used, he would constantly have a pile of dishes in the sink.
After he got out of the shower three minutes later, Sam threw on a pair of sweatpants and exited the bathroom. When he entered the living room, he saw Gabriel sitting on the couch with a bowl of cereal in his lap. There was a bowl of dry cereal out for him and the milk carton was sitting next to it. Sam smirked when he saw they were the plastic bowls with straws. Gabriel claimed that they were better than drinking straight from the bowl, but Sam knew he just enjoyed the fact there was a bowl with a straw attached.
"Thanks."
"No need to thank the chef."
Sam sat on the couch next to Gabriel. "Chef? I've seen Dean prepare better meals and he hasn't had time to cook in a years."
"Then you won't get any of the cake that I made yesterday."
"Hey! I deserve it! I woke up covered in sweat because of you!"
Gabriel put his bowl down. "So you woke up hot and bothered?"
"How old are you?"
Gabriel leaned in, "Hot. And. Bothered."
"Is that the only reason that you turned on the heat? So you could say that?"
Gabriel grinned before turning back to his breakfast.
Rolling his eyes, Sam poured milk into his bowl. "Any plans for today?"
"The New Year's party at the bar."
"Fuck is that today?"
"Yea. That's why you've been practicing your drink making."
"I thought that was tomorrow." Sam shrugged.
"I thought that I might come in early today."
"What? Why?"
Gabriel stood up to put his dishes in the kitchen. "New Year's drinks, duh."
"There's not going to be anything going on until later."
"Really? Are you sure?" Gabriel dropped his bowl into the sink before continuing, "Because I'm almost positive that there are going to be parties all day."
"Fine. I'm going to be serving all day so I won't be able to sneak out with you."
"I'll bring Cas too. Maybe then Dean will be too distracted with him so we could leave."
"Alright, but only if you don't bother him." Sam agreed as he entered the kitchen.
Gabriel smirked as he took the bowl from Sam and put it in the sink. "I'll try."
Sam stood so he was facing Gabriel before lightly kissing him. Gabriel pulled him closer before running a hand through Sam's hair. Sam left a trail of kisses up to Gabriel's ear before he whispered, "I need to shower now."
Gabriel wrapped his arms around his neck. "No you don't. You can do that later."
Gabriel sat on the counter before he pulled Sam closer and wrapped his legs around his waist. Sam began running his hands down Gabriel's back before they stopped at his ass. Sam lightly bit at Gabriel's neck as he tugged the shirt off of him and threw it on the floor. He brushed his hands up Gabriel's chest, which earned a small shiver from Gabriel.
Gabriel palmed himself before looking at Sam. "Do I get what I wanted last night now?"
"What?"
"You. Naked. Bed. Now."
It was an hour before the ball dropped, and Dean could say that at least half of the bar was too wasted to order another drink. People began coming in as soon as the bar opened this morning and some of them were still there. Dean was impressed. He doubted that he would have been able to stay in the bar this long. There were at least three booths of people kissing, which pissed Dean off because Cas was right there but he couldn't do anything.
It didn't help that Cas did a shot competition earlier and won. He was sitting at the bar with wide eyes and slightly parted lips. A small blush was over his cheeks as he continued laughing at a joke that Gabriel told.
He turned to look at Dean before asking, "Can I have a beer?"
"No."
Cas pouted. Fuck.
"Dude, you are already drunk and I don't need you praying to the porcelain god in the bar. Why do you want another?"
"It is not of import." Cas waved it off before he turned back to Gabriel.
Dean rolled his eyes before he walked down to a group of girls. "Hello ladies. Can I get you another drink?"
One of the girls, who appeared the most sober of the group smiled, "Yea, three from the tap and a bottle."
Dean nodded, "They aren't driving tonight correct?"
"No, I'm driver. Not much of a drinker."
"But you decided that you were going to go to a bar New Year's eve?" Dean asked as he got glasses from the shelves. They were running low, maybe he could get Jo to wash some.
She shrugged, "Nothing better to do."
Dean placed a glass on the counter as he filled up another. "Do you go to college out here?"
"Yea. Senior year. I transferred at the beginning of the year to Stanford."
"Where did you go before?"
"Out in Boston."
Dean raised his eyebrows. "Why did you transfer."
"Family issues." The girl shrugged.
"I can drink to that." Dean mumbled.
He put the remaining drinks on the counter. "By the way, name's Dean. Holler if you need anything."
"Name's Meg. Meg Masters." The girl reached her hand across the bar to shake Dean's.
"Nice to meet you, Meg."
"Pleasure's all mine." She winked back.
Dean grinned before he walked away, leaving Meg and her friends at the bar. He made sure that everyone had drinks before he went back to Cas and Gabriel.
"Have either of you two seen Jo and Benny? I thought they were going to work out here."
Gabriel shrugged, "I saw them go into the kitchen about thirty minutes ago."
Dean looked at the door before deciding that he didn't want to walk in. "Great. Hey, do either of you two know who Meg Masters is?"
"A whore." Cas said as he continued staring at Dean.
"Take it easy."
"She's known as the Whore of Babylon on campus. Dooms professors to hell by sleeping with them. And by hell I mean they're caught and fired. I'm sure that she's friends with Ruby, who is rumored to deal drugs, and Lilith, who also deals, but I don't know who the other is."
Dean stared at Cas before asking. "What the hell Cas?"
"What?"
"Why do you know that?"
"I teach there."
Gabriel rolled his eyes. "I like sober you better."
Cas squinted at Gabriel.
"Great. Whatever. What time's it?" Dean shouted over the bar.
"Eleven thirty four!" The bar slurred back.
Dean looked back at Cas. "Where are you going after this?"
"With you I presumed. Why?"
"I was just asking."
"Worried that I'm going out or something?"
"What does that mean?" Dean raised an eyebrow at Cas before continuing, "You can walk home."
Cas smirked before he continued to look around the bar. "Sure."
"I will leave you to walk."
Cas turned so he was facing Dean again, "I bet you'll leave me here, especially with the way that you've been eyeing me up all evening."
Dean felt his face flush.
"Seriously? I am sitting right here!" Gabriel exclaimed.
"You do that with Sam too!" Dean pointed out.
Gabriel shrugged, "And Cas is my little brother so I don't like when you do that."
"It was him! And Sam is my brother!"
They were interrupted by Jo and Benny coming out of the kitchen. They looked around the crowded bar before walking over so they could sit next to Gabriel and Cas.
"I hope everyone is getting along out here." Benny asked in his southern drawl after he noticed Dean's blush.
"Peachy." Dean mumbled.
"Isn't it New Year's soon?" Jo said as she glanced at the pool game that was going on.
"Like, twenty minutes." Dean responded.
"Thank god."
"You haven't even done anything lately!"
Shrugging, Jo answered, "It's either leave soon or watch you and Cas eye fuck for the rest of the goddamn night."
"Excuse me?"
Laughing, Jo said, "Dean really? It's like you two don't even see anyone else at the bar. At lease Gabriel and Sam can function when they're out together."
"Is everyone forgetting that I am sitting right here?" Gabriel asked.
Dean grinned before he left the group to check on the other customers. Sam was still serving drinks at the far end of the bar. Unlike Dean, Sam could entertain for hours. He had a natural charm for it really. Dean nodded in his direction when Sam looked up. Sam smiled back before he continued filling up glasses. Deciding that no one needed him at the moment, Dean went down to him.
"Hey."
Sam looked up from the counter where he was placing beers in front of a group. "Oh, hey."
"Everything alright down here?"
"Yea. Most people are saving their last drink for midnight, so it's starting to slow down. If that's what you want to call it anyway. Tons of people are still ordering."
"I noticed."
"Everything alright with Gabriel and Cas?"
"Yea. Jo and Benny are over there too."
"Is Cas still standing?"
"What does that mean?"
"Dude, you were serving him and another guy shots for a competition. Cas won."
"He's a tough guy." Dean shrugged.
"He said 'I think I'm starting to feel something' after his twentieth shot." Sam pointed out.
"It's going to be hell in the morning. Fuck."
Sam laughed, "Glad you got that now." He put the glasses on the bar before moving up the bar. Dean followed behind him while he took glasses off the counter and put them out of the way.
"Any plans for the week?" Sam asked as he grabbed beer bottles from under the counter.
"Not that I know of. Why?"
"No reason. I was just wondering."
"Do you want to do something?"
"It's my last week of Winter break and Gabriel wants to do something. I figured that I would check with you first."
"No, you're good. Don't worry about missing work either."
"Thanks Dean."
Dean nodded before he looked at the clock that was above the pool table. "Ten minutes!"
The bar erupted in cheers as a swarm of people came up to the bar. Dean, Sam, and Jo served drinks to the impatient crowd while Benny, Cas, and Gabriel sat and watched. The bar grew with noise as people began celebrating. They watched as everyone got their drinks before joining their friends.
"Ten!" The bar shouted.
"Nine!"
Cas looked at Dean as he finished serving the last person at the bar.
"Eight!"
Dean was grabbing beer bottles with Jo and Sam.
"Seven!"
Jo, Sam, and Dean walked over so they were standing in a group, the only thing separating them being the counter.
"Six!"
The drinks were placed in front of them.
"Five!"
Cas smiled at Dean as Dean lifted a beer bottle to his lips.
"Four!"
Cas reached for a beer bottle.
"Three!"
Dean moved the bottle away.
"Two!"
Dean grabbed the front of Cas's shirt and pulled him so he was partly over the bar.
"One!"
Cas and Dean's lips crashed together. They momentarily forgot about the crowded bar around them. They didn't hear the shouts of "Happy New Year!". They didn't hear the sounds of Jo shouting as she noticed what was going on. They were only thinking about the way that their lips seemed to fit perfectly together.
After Dean released Cas from the kiss, he leaned against the bar. Cas slid back into his seat as he stared at him.
"Are you two kidding me?" Jo was shouting.
"Happy New Year." Dean smirked.
"A bit late." Cas responded.
Dean nodded before he saw that Gabriel and Sam were gone. "Hey."
Jo rolled her eyes. "They left as the ball dropped."
"You were a little occupied." Benny teased.
"More than a little are you kidding me?" Jo asked.
"Whatever." Dean scoffed.
"You have drinks that you need to take care of anyway." Jo pointed out, "And being the great friend that I am, I'll help."
"I don't know if I want that."
"Shut up."
Dean smiled as he made his way down the bar. He grabbed glassed before yelling "Benny! I have a job for you!"
Benny nodded as he left Cas alone at the bar to go to Dean, "I'll get them."
"Thanks dude."
Dean gave the glasses to Benny. "Awesome."
Cas watched as the bar began to slowly empty for the night. Dean was still taking last orders and cleaning up with the help of Jo and Benny after it was nearly empty. He could feel a splitting headache starting to come from the shots that he did.
"Dean." He groaned.
"When was the last time that you got drunk?" Dean asked.
"A few months maybe."
"Months?"
"Close to a year."
"Why?"
"I don't like it."
Dean glanced at the clock. "Bar's about to close. Give me thirty minutes." He turned so he was facing Benny and Jo, "Is it alright if I leave early?"
"Sure." They said in unison.
"Thanks." Dean sighed before looking back at Cas. "You better be grateful."
"When I have a fine piece of ass like that to look at all the time I am."
Dean sighed. It was going to be a long night.
