The sun had set long ago and the fire was burning merrily, setting the campground in a wonderful golden glow. Both couples sat around the burning logs and passed a bottle of whiskey between them, laughing and joking about at the stories they told. It was a game they played, bastardized Truth or Dare. Since there was nothing they wouldn't do, it now became a game of Truth, and what a game it was.

"Okay okay, here's one. When are you planning to deflower my little brother, Dean? Cause the poor kid has waited long enough!" Gabriel asked and Dean snorted into his drink.

"Bit late there, that ship has sailed." Dean smirked down at his now blushing boyfriend and Gabriel followed the gaze, shock slowly appearing on his face.

"Cassie! You didn't? He didn't?!" He shot the question at Dean.

"Oh he did…what was her name, Cas?" Dean asked, glad to have something to make the Angel squirm. Poor Cas buried his face into Deans side and murmured.

"April…"

"As yes, good ol' April. Nice girl, good Reaper." Dean joked and Gabriel choked on his whiskey, coughing it all over Sam who pushed the Archangel off his lap.

"Dude! Cover your mouth, ergh!" Sam shouted but Gabriel was paying no attention to him. His eyes were on his squirming little brother.

"Cas-ti-el! You dog!" He grinned and Cas groaned, grabbing the bottle from Deans hand and taking a deep gulp. At times he really did hate his older brother. Although right now, his Hunter was looking no better.

"I know, right. Millennia old Virgin and our Cassie gives it up for a Reaper…the same night he met her!" Dean laughed and that was it for Gabriel and Sam, who both collapsed into a pile of shaking limbs. Castiel went bright red and glared at Dean.

"Well at least I didn't get an Amazon woman pregnant…" Cas snapped and the clearing went silent. Deans mouth snapped shut with an audible click and both Sam and Gabe stared open mouthed at the couple. After a few moments they all burst out laughing again, with the exception of Dean who now shot his laughing little brother a hateful look.

"Don't know what you're laughing about Sam, least mine was human. What was the last one…werewolf right?!" Dean snarked and Gabriel turned a shocked gaze on his mate.

"Sammy, you…wait dog or bitch, I can never tell with you!" Gabriel laughed and jumped up quickly to avoid Sam's punch, running away to the other side of the circle. Castiel, who was now rather drunk, gave a small mock howl that had the other two splitting their sides with laughter. Sam growled at them loudly.

"Is that what she said…" Cas asked. Sam snapped and threw a bag of marshmallows at the smaller man, who ducked behind Dean to avoid being hit.

"You guys are assholes!" Sam yelled and snatched the bottle from the pile of laughing bodies.

"Oh lighten up, Sammy. We're just joking…Besides, you're married to Loki the Pagan God. Your sex life is just starting to get interesting, dude." Dean said and Gabriel pretended to tip his hat to him.

"That it is, Deano. Starting tonight…You guys sure you wanna be in the same state as us, tonight?" Gabe asked and Dean tossed a bag of candied fruit at him.

"You keep your sticky fingers off my brother, douchebag!" Dean shouted and Gabe smirked at him.

"I should say the same to you, meathead!" Gabe replied, tipping his head towards Cas. "If I don't get yours, you don't get mine!" Dean stared at him shocked then put his arm around Cas' shoulders.

"Cas back me up here!" He said, so intent on watching Gabriel that he missed Cas' smirk.

"No."

It took a moment for the statement to sink into Deans brain, but when it did he whipped around to look at Cas, stunned into silence.

"…what do you mean, no?!" Dean asked in shock.

"I am curious as to which you would hold in higher value…my virtue of your brothers…So no, I won't 'back you up'…choose." Cas replied and Gabriel began to slowly clap, wiping a tear from his eye.

"Oh, little brother…I have taught you so well!" He cried and stood up, running around the circle to embrace his younger brother. Gabriel wrapped his arms tightly around Cas' middle and suddenly he was being lifted into the air and spun around in a circle.

"Gabriel! Let me down, you lunatic!" Cas cried out in shock as Gabriel laughed. Finally he put him back on his feet, shaking. "I always hated it when you did that!" He pouted and crawled back into Deans lap, glaring at his brother. Gabriel laughed and ruffled Cas' hair, much to his displeasure. The clearing was quiet for a time as the men lay around and stared at the sky for awhile, taking in the peacefulness of the evening. Cas found himself lying curled up beside Dean, with his head over the Hunters heart. He had not felt this content in a long time and he sighed happily. Dean brought a hand up to stroke through his hair and Cas looked up at him.

"You're still gonna get it for being such a bitch today…" Dean laughed softly and Cas smiled at him, kissing his cheek and putting his lips up at Deans ear.

"Is that a promise…" Cas whispered as he nip lightly at his ear then kissed down his neck and along his collar bone. Dean had finally had enough of teasing and jumped up, gathering a giggling Cas up into his arms and carrying him bridal style from the clearing, much to the shock of his brother and friend.

"See you guys in the morning!" He called back as they disappeared inside their now shared tent, whistles and catcalls following behind them.

"You think they'll be okay, Gabe?" Sam asked when he had finally managed to calm down. Gabriel looked serious for a moment and Sam became worried.

"I don't know Sammy, honestly I don't…maybe we should go keep an eye on them" He said cheekily as he got to his feet and started walking towards Cas and Deans tent. Sam launched himself up after him, just barely managing to tackle him to the ground before he could reach the opening in the tent. He slapped a hand over Gabes mouth before the Archangel could shout out something obscene and for a few minutes the two battled it out on the ground, before the fell silent and panting with laughter into a pile of loose and drunken limbs. Sam rearranged them so they were lying side by side and for a few minutes they were silent and content.

"Seriously though, Gabe…they'll be okay?" Sam asked again and this time Gabriel was serious. He wrapped an arm around the bigger mans shoulders and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Trust me, Sammy, they'll be fine. They have each other, its all they really need." He replied, smiling as Sam relaxed into his hold. "I just wish Cas still had some Grace then he could…" Sam looked up interested but Gabe just shook his head and sighed. "Never mind, forget it…stupid…"

"No, what Gabe, I wanna know…Cas could what?" Sam asked, and Gabe knew he would not let it go now. He sighed again and closed his eyes, thinking of how best to say it.

"Just say it like it is…" Sam answered his inner thoughts and Gabe laughed softly, forgetting that Sam could now read his mind.

"Well…if Cas still had his Grace he would be able to take a mate." Gabe explained. Sam suddenly looked pissed off and Gabriel wondered what he had said to piss the hunter off so much.

"So what, he goes all Full Metal Angel on us and just takes off on Dean for some Angel…cause I gotta say Gabe that's pretty low!" Sam raged and Gabriel suddenly grinned and started to laugh again. "What is so funny?!"

"You are, Sammich! You really think Cas is gonna take off with some Angel chick? I mean our Cas? Seriously! Dean's his mate!" Gabriel said and Sam suddenly looked shamed, lowering his head.

"Oh…" He said and Gabe grinned at him, lifting his head up so he could look in his eyes.

"I swear, Sam, you are lucky you're so pretty. I thought you were meant to be the brains in this dynamic duo…" Gabriel joked and Sam punched him lightly on the arm. But the moment ended quickly and the conversation turned serious again.

"So…Cas can't mate with Dean now he doesn't have his Grace?" Sam asked sadly and Gabriel nodded slowly. "And there's nothing you can do?" He shook his head and sam sighed, worrying his lip. Gabe brought a hand up to smooth Sam's hair and kissed him on the forehead.

"Don't worry about it tonight, okay Sam? We'll think on it more tomorrow…just try and get some sleep, sweetheart." Gabe said, bringing Sam closer to him. Sam rested his head on Gabes chest and closed his eyes.

"Night Gabe…I love you…" Sam smiled in his half sleep and Gabriel kissed the top of his head.

"I love you too, Sam."
