CHAPTER 14: My Date With An Angel: DAY 3 part 2
Sorry if I'm a pain at updating this story, it's kinda tough to make ideas... especially when people keep using my laptop or make too much noise that I can't think, play the PS3 in my room and scream in my ears over a battle in dragon ball z -_-... anyway hope you enjoy the chapter.
...
Sam believed spending time at the library would get his mind off that kiss he shared with Gabriel the other night. Billions of questions haunted his thoughts and it seemed no book in the world can rid the distant feeling of the archangel's lips on his. " What the hell was I thinking?..." he thought. His mind said one thing, yet his heart told another; giving hints of hidden feelings he's had for Gabriel. But how long have they been there? why come out now? At every thought of the kiss his heart fluttered, this was all getting Sam confused; not knowing whether to trust his mind or his body. He sighed in frustration and pinched his nose, closing the book since it fails to help. " What am I gonna do?..." he whispered to himself. He rose from his seat to leave, maybe a walk would help, just anything to stop the thoughts.
" Hey Sam..."
Sam's eyes widen to the familiar voice, slowly turning to gaze into the orbs of the one he could not cease thinking about. " ... "
" ... Um... how are you?" Gabriel smiles softly.
" ... " Sam remained silent. Well, you can say a cat got his tongue instead. " Come on Sam, say something..." his brain tried to get him to speak, but his mouth would not respond its commands. Gabriel caught on to this and chuckles.
" Never took you as the shy type Sammy... I guess you're still spooked about last night, huh?..."
" Am not." he finally forced out. " I mean... yes I'm still a bit freaked out about what happened, but it doesn't mean I'm a shy type." Sam implied. Gabriel only chuckled, moving a bit closer to the hunter. Sam gulped.
" As I recall, it was you who kissed me... not the other way around." he grinned.
" I know... that's the part that freaks me out..." Sam replied. His heart pounded against his chest, ready to burst out at any moment, Sam tried to calm himself by taking slow deep breaths. Gabriel raises a brow as Sam nervously grabs his duffel and walks away, and Gabriel followed behind. " So why are you here anyway?... did you find Pestilence yet?"
" Well I was here to just chat with you but oh well... Bobby has figured out where Pestilence likes to target, mostly hospitals or clinics... In fact he's in South Carolina as we speak."
" What?" Sam halted, grabbing the angel's shoulders in disbelief. " I should tell Dean."
Gabriel suddenly gripped Sam's arm to stop him. " Whoa!... you, Dean and Cas are supposed to be on vacation!... Knowing your brother, he might want to go after the ring..." Sam only stared in his eyes, seeing the worry they held. " Pestilence is nothing like Famine or War, he'd kill you and wouldn't care that you're Lucifer's or Michael's vessels..."
Sam sighed, Gabriel's right in a way. If he were to tell his brother he'd quickly cut the vacation and head for the horseman. Not to mention rushing in unprepared would put them in extreme danger. So Sam decides to keep it between him and Gabriel, for now at least. " Okay..."
" Good..." the archangel smiled in relief. " Hey, you wanna come with me to the fair in town?" he knew he was being straight forward about that request, but he wished to spend the day with the young hunter.
Sam raised a brow, once again his heart sped up. A part of him wanted to say no, though the other part didn't want to upset him. Sam didn't understand why, but that night when Cas nearly died Gabriel was more open towards Sam, more... friendly, which caught the hunter off guard at first. It was then that Sam realized Gabriel had actual emotions and not just the usual sadistic, trickster personality. So maybe hanging out wouldn't be too much trouble... he hoped. " ... Um... sure..."
Gabriel leapt with joy like an excited child. " Alright!... Let's get there quick, we might make it on line first." the angel took hold of Sam's hand and pulled him to run along. " This is gonna be so much fun... We'll go on roller coasters, the ferris wheel... Ooh and I hear they make the best zeppoles!" he cheered. Sam couldn't help but smile at how happy he's made the angel, seeing him like this pleased the hunter.
... Meanwhile ...
" Dean hurry the movie's about to start." Castiel called over his shoulder.
" I know, hold your horses." Dean replied, maneuvering towards the couch with a bowl of popcorn and two cups of soda. Cas takes the bowl and places it onto the coffee table, along with the drinks. Dean hops over, flopping next to his lover. " Much better." he smirks. Castiel then moves the bowl onto his lap before cuddling in Dean's embrace. " So what movie have you chose?" Dean asked as he munched on popcorn.
" Well, since you said that horror is best watched at night, I've decided we'd watch Die Hard." Cas replied, knowing it was one of Dean's favorite action films.
Dean gave a pleased smile. " You got good taste Cas.". After the past two days Dean figured his angel was into four to five star films mostly, Cas never liked the boring low budget kind much. Since they've been here and besides going to the beach or going out to dinners, Castiel spent free times watching all sorts of movies. ' He's becoming more human everyday.' Dean thought.
About an hour into the film Dean noticed that Cas would unexpectedly yell at the TV if something happened he didn't like, which the hunter couldn't help but chuckling every time he did. He just found it too funny to hear Castiel yell ' kill him' or ' he deserved it' as if the character hears him. " That FBI guy is such a dick." Cas remarked, " McClane is doing a better job than he is." Dean chortled as his lover ranted on about the film. " And I can't believe tha- what so funny?" Cas peers over to Dean who continued laughing. " What? What I say?"
Dean takes a breath to cease his laughter, " Nothing babe, you're just too cute when you yell... especially at a movie."
... At The Fair ...
A crowd of children's cheers filled the air and the laughs of teenagers talking about their favorite rides as they enjoyed their lunch. Gabriel and Sam strolled pass the crowd, Gabriel would occasionally hold Sam's hand to pull him to where the next ride he wanted to go on was. An hour ago Sam at first thought the physical contact was unnatural, but whenever he let go, the loss of Gabriel's touch made something deep down inside Sam surface, an aching feeling of his body screaming for the contact to return. Sam would think to himself: what's wrong with me?, why do I enjoy it when he holds my hand?. Questions he wanted answered, and fast, but the moment the archangel beamed at him, that same smile he gave back at the library. Sam suddenly felt the corner of his lips twitch into a smile, and at that moment all the thoughts faded like a lost memory.
Gabriel stops in his tracks with a gasp, slightly startling Sam. " ZEPPOLES!" the angel makes a start towards the booth, practically dragging Sam off his own feet. The line seemed a bit long, yet by taking a whiff of frying dough and the sweet sugary scent, it is worth waiting for the tasty treat. Gabriel's mouth watered just staring at the puffy clouds of heaven, staring at the different toppings from the pictures on the booth: plain, honey, powdered sugar and one with Oreos stuffed in the dough. " You smell that Sam?... that's the smell of the greatest dessert known to man... and to me."
Sam too takes in the sweet aroma, his eyes roll back and shut his lids. " Guess I'll give these zeppoles a try... it smells good..." they both were so caught up being tranced by the redolence, they didn't realize the man in the booth was talking to them.
" Helloooo... what can I get you?" he man waves a hand in front of Sam, pulling him out of his trance.
" We'll have the zeppole." Gabriel answered.
" How many pieces?"
" Twenty." the man froze and stared at Gabriel with wide eyes, as well as Sam. ' Damn that's like a walking heart attack or stroke... ' Sam thought. Of course these sweets may be delicious but were very fattening. Well this wouldn't bother the angel in the littlest bit, he can probably stuff himself with as much as he wanted and be perfectly fine.
The man in the booth shrugged. " What topping do you want?"
" Powdered sugar... make it extra sugar..." the angel smirked. Him saying that made the young Winchester's blood scream diabetes and cavities like a broken record. Sam has always been a health nut, he usually avoided fattening foods, and at this point he wished he'd taken back what he said about giving it a try. When the man passed the bag filled with the dessert, Sam paid him then followed Gabriel to an open table next to the booth and they sat down. " Oh sweet zeppoles, how I waited to eat your deliciousness.." Gabriel said in a singing tone. Sam smiled at that. Gabriel then passes one to Sam. " Prepare to be blown away Sammy." he grinned. Sam gazed at the crazily shaped powder covered ball almost in astonishment, his mouth once again watering up. ' here goes nothing...' he thought before taking a small bite. Gabriel observed closely, waiting for a reaction from the hunter.
Sam's eyes shot open wide, suddenly stuffing the rest of it in his mouth, his eyes rolled to the back of his head. " Mmmhh..."
" Good isn't it?"
Sam only nodded in response, taking another that Gabriel offered and took a bite. " SO good..." it was heaven, how the sugar dissolved once it touched his tongue, how the warm fried dough made his taste buds sing with delight. While Sam was busy having a food orgasm over the zeppole, Gabriel could not help but watch as the hunter licked away the powder around his lips, the angel had to forcibly hold himself back from leaping across this table and kiss Sam. " Can I have another please."
" Ease down Sam." Gabriel chuckled.
...
Sam's time with the archangel wasn't bad at all, in fact, it was almost too much fun. Sam had enjoyed playing games with Gabriel, like tag-you're-it in the hall of mirrors, to which the angel cheated at most times. Then Sam was forced to take a picture with a clown, his worse nightmare since he was a kid, while Gabriel laughed hysterically at how Sam's face looked after buying their photo. After that, Gabriel begged Sam to play some shooting game, you know those booths were you have to hit the middle of a tiny piece of paper with the star on it, and the hunter had little to no trouble at all of winning then picking out a giant stuffed bear that was practically the size of Gabriel. But the fun is soon to end as nightfall made its way, so it was enough time to finally go on the ferris wheel before heading back to their temporary home.
The crowd had died down a bit at this time so the line was pretty short. They got in one of the seats and were soon going up, the whole time Sam observed the angel next to him who was staring at the distant ocean. Gabriel felt his gaze, peering to the hunter with a warm smile. " I had a great time, thanks for coming with me."
" No problem... I had fun too... well except for the clown ordeal." Sam replied happily. It's been very long since he's been this carefree, and he thought to himself, is this the feeling Dean feels everyday with Castiel? no worries in the world, no thoughts on the apocalypse, just free from all the troubles that lurked in the world. Sam began to understand it all, why his body so direly wanted to be near the archangel... Because deep in his mind he really liked Gabriel, and more than just a friend too. Sam's smile grew wider hearing the angel laugh.
" That was funny, you should've seen your face."
Sam continued staring, it's just something about seeing Gabriel smile or laugh made Sam enjoy his company. I mean, spending almost five years with no relationship since Jess died, Sam began to believe it was time to make a new start, and it was to be with this angel next to him. Sam suddenly seen time go still as he inched closer to the angel, in some part of his brain told him not to, that it's not right, that this was a man and an angel of god, but he only ignored it.
Gabriel's laughs immediately ceased, his eyes locked with the taller man's. He somehow couldn't breathe, which was because he was holding his breath. Not once but twice now Sam made the first move. His gaze drifted to the hunter's lips as they approached closer, his heart pounding so loud he can hear it in his ears. When Sam halted just an inch away, Gabriel looked up into those green orbs that searched his own. They stared for what seemed like hours, not a word was spoken, the clamor of the crowd went silent to them.
Sam finally broke the silence, " Can I kiss you?" his cheek flushed slightly asking that.
Gabriel let his hand rest behind Sam's neck, fingers sliding in his silk like hair. " About time you asked that." he purred, and at long last the gap between them closed. Their kiss was just like their first, soft, slow, passionate. Sam rests his hand on the angel's shoulder, tugging him closer. His tongue slid across Gabriel's lower lip, requesting an invitation to go further. Gabriel smiled between the kiss, then partially parted his lips, feeling the man's tongue slide in, touching his own. Gabriel then felt a hand wrap around him, then a warmth drew near him, he knew Sam had moved himself closer. The kiss slowly grew more hungry, a battle for dominance which Sam easily won, hands soon joined the search. They pulled away for a short moment to catch their breaths, eyes hazed with desire, bodies heated and crying out for more. " ... Wow... that was great..." Gabriel implied with half lidded eyes.
" Yeah... it was..." Sam chimed. They stood holding one another as they came down to solid ground, several people stared but they gave no notice... hell, they didn't really care.
" The rides over already?" the angel suddenly realized, Sam chuckled.
