I'm Broken:
Bobby has to baby sit:
"No one's been there in years. I don't know what to do about all those cars, the keys are left in a little glass box on the desk, I mean no one was using them. I'll run a background check on the license plates and then take them into the garage get some work done on them but - theres not much I can do really. If no one's reported them stolen or anything can either sell 'em or keep 'em" John explained.
"Yeah but do you really think keeping them is a good idea?" Mary questioned. They'd been sitting down stairs on the couch for almost an hour now, discussing it.
"If there not stolen, it can't do no harm as long as they can be fixed, I don't see no issues with it but I might have to get Bobby to take a look and if they work maybe selling them"
"Well, get Bobby to have a look at them and then think of what to do see if he can get a price on how much they're worth" Mary suggested.
"Yeah, well - we should get to bed talk this over in the morning. I got a lock for it. Since after running the post code it showed no one owns it - the boys seem to like it so. Theres no reason to say no to them. It belongs to no one - it looks safe-ish and you've seen how Dean is with Cas, if he even falls over Dean has him take a time out for 5 minutes, the place seems safe you can lock it from the inside so no one can get in while you're in. The glass is smash proof, we tested it bullet proof and everything, theres also alarms and traps the boys will be more than safe it's also got a clock the boys can tell the basic time. It's close so if needs be we can go and get them - that place is so cool, I'm considering moving there."
Mary throw him a glare,
"You know I wouldn't. If the boys want it as a base I say let them. I remember having more risking bases than 'The Bunker' when I was there age, in all honesty they properly have the safest base going" John mentioned. "Gabriel's a little protective with Sam too, you saw him when Sam was ill - he was caring him like a Sam was his kid. Wouldn't let him play until he could keep food down nothing but toast to see if he was keeping things down only water, it was - a nightmare. Maybe getting them phones is a good idea?"
"Yeah. Maybe you're right. Do you notice anything odd with Gabriel lately?" Mary asked, she noticed how distant he'd been.
"He seems a lot more - ambitious"
"That's not ambition, that's not caring at all - I think his depressed"
"He hasn't said anything, a kid wouldn't lie about that thing, kids don't know how to lie"
"How long did he lie to us about what his dad was doing? How long did we buy it? Gabriel is a better liar than any of us but i'm still not sure. He seems to have no emotions in his words and his face has lost all expression. I'm worried about him - again. Cas too I mean, their older brother Micheal, his a mean piece of work. His not hitting them but he does seem, I don't know bossy but more bossy than should be allowed. I don't know, those poor kids. I wish there was something we could do" Mary sighed as she made her way to the bed room, her husband by her side.
...
"We're just going to see my mother for a while. She's not well and I don't want the boys to see her in a state like that, we'll be back at 7. Uh, Cas needs to take his med's after lunch and dinner. If Sam and Gabriel start fighting leave them, getting involved only makes it worse so let them work it out. If Castiel does have a panic attack, Dean and Gabriel know what to do so let them deal with it. Don't let them go in the garage, they'll just mess everything up for you so, try to keep them inside. I did pack a few toys but if they don't want to play with them just put the t.v on. Everyone loves tom and jerry so just put that on if you can find it." Mary sighed.
"Alright, well. I'll see you at 7" Bobby's gruff voice replied as he took the bag from Mary.
"Call if you need anything. Bye boys"
"Bye, mum."
"Bye Mary" Came the voices of the four boys as they all hugged her at once. John next.
"Bye, kids. Behave!"
"These kids can't be at home with their parents?" Bobby quested, obviously referring to Castiel and Gabriel.
"No, unfortunately, both parents are dead and their brother is - well. He works and the other kids are uncapable of caring for them" John said quietly.
"Oh, well. I'm sure it can't be that hard. Tell you mum I give her my best wishes, have a safe trip. See you later."
'Cant be that hard?' Bobby had never looked after Gabriel, Dean, Sam and Castiel all at once. Sam and Gabriel arguing. Castiel's attacks, and he thinks it won't be hard... He has another thing coming to him. "Everyone inside."
"See you at 7" Mary waved goodbye and got back in the car with her husband and they drove away.
"So, kids. What do you want to watch?" Bobby asked, guiding the boys in to his living room/study and turning on his television. "I see, tom and Jerry's on. How 'bout that?"
"Yeah" Castiel screamed jumping up and down.
"Ok, calm down. Sit down. Dean - Dean. Sit down. Gabriel please don't shout in my ear like that" Bobby said putting his head in his hands.
"Dean, sit" Castiel pouted and glanced at the empty seat next to him. Dean rolled his eyes and sat next to Cas, his arms around the boy, holding him close just so he knew he wasn't alone.
"What did you boys want for lunch?" Bobby asked.
"Pop corn" Gabriel called out.
"Pop corn? Not for Lunch. After dinner"
"I want a sandwich" Sam said, "I want a chocolate sandwich."
"Ok, Sandwich's it is" Bobby walked over to the kitchen. Why did he agree to this? He didn't know a thing about looking after kids. Especially not kids that had been through things that Gabriel and Castiel had been through.
The next thing he knew Sam was crying.
"What's the matter with you?" Bobby asked putting down his butter knife.
"Gabriel stole my toy"
"Gabriel give it back!"
"But Sam-"
"Give it back!"
"But he-"
"No. Give it back!"
Gabriel dropped the toy dragon onto Sam lap and turned away.
"Stop crying. You got it back" Bobby let out a sigh and wondered back over to the counter in the kitchen where he was making sandwich.
Dean was watching Castiel, laugh at the program they were watching. It was fascinating to him how Castiel could have gone through so much but still find beauty and fairness in the world. How can a boy still smile knowing that his dad died hating him? How can he laugh knowing almost everyone he knew blamed him for the death of his mother? But he did have a beautiful smile and a laugh that made Dean feel like he could fly. When Castiel was holding Dean in his arms, Dean swore he would be able to move mountains for him. What Dean felt for Cas, it was more than love but he couldn't describe it, there were no words. Seeing Castiel's smile always made Dean happy, seeing Castiel cry made Dean sad and seeing Castiel hurt made Dean angry beyond belief. Castiel did things to Dean neither of them could explain but it comforted him to know that he could never be with another. Castiel was the only one for Dean and he was lucky to have found the love of his life so soon. Him and Castiel would be together forever there was no doubt about it.
Gabriel was just sitting there. He didn't even know if he was paying attention to the television or not. He'd been unsure on a lot of things lately. He didn't know why he did some of the things he'd done. He often sat there, people would ask him how he felt and he'd reply fine but the truth is, he didn't know. Gabriel didn't know how he felt anymore. As if he was dead inside. He didn't know if he was happy, sad, good or bad. He didn't feel anything anymore. If you pricked him with a pin he'd cry out in pain but if you insult him he wouldn't feel angry or sad, he'd just shrug it of and walk away. He was cold inside and out. He was attacked from his soul, if he still had one. Maybe, after everything he'd been through Gabriel had lost contact with his soul and it had gone on holiday, away from all the pain it had been caused. Gabriel hoped it would come back one day but until that day, if it ever came, there was nothing he could do. Nothing he wanted to do. Live, die, sit, stand. Sleep, stay awake. It didn't bother him anymore. He was just, numb inside. As if there really was nothing there to feel.
Bobby held a sandwich in front of him,
"if you're not hungry leave it. Don't force it down you but you should eat it really. You are skinny for a kid, you know. Need more meat on you're bones"
Gabriel took the plate and began to eat, he acted as if he hadn't even heard Bobby speak. He had he just - he just didn't care. At all. Not even a little bit.
"Thank you" Castiel smiled taking the plate from Bobby's hands and stuffing the sandwich in his mouth.
"You had breakfast today?" Dean asked as he watched Castiel devourer the bread in front of him.
"Yes"
"Promise?"
"Yes" Castiel moaned putting the empty plate on the table and leaning his head on Dean's shoulder.
"Ok, if you say so"
"You think I'm lying?"
"No. I know you're not. I just - I'm not sure you're telling the truth" Dean looked into Castiel's big, round blue eyes and felt he was going to melt. Castiel was beautiful and there was no denying it.
...
"Get off me" Gabriel shouted pushing Sam off the couch.
"I just wanted you to pass me my toys over there" Sam said teary eyes.
"Gabriel, there was no need to push him off like that" Bobby got down and helped Sam get back up, "give him his toys!"
"Why can't he get them himself?"
"Gabriel, it would be a nice thing to do, if you just handed the toys to him."
"No" Gabriel kept protesting until,
"Gabriel, please give Sam back his toys" Castiel looked sorrowful and it broke Gabriel's black, cold heart. He threw the toys towards Sam and crossed his arms. He'd been defeated by his younger brother, how shameful?
...
"How were they?" Mary asked, when the time came to pick the boys up from Bobby's.
"Well, Castiel was like an angel. Very well behaved. Dean too. His fine. My main complaint is Gabriel. He, seemed to pick on Sam a lot and he seems a little"
"Cold hearted?" John questioned, "yeah we've been meaning to talk to him about that but we're still trying to figure out how to say it. After everything they went through I'm not really surprised that he went a little bit - you know. Thank you for having them. It really mean's a lot."
"No problem but ask me to do it again and I'll have to charge ya" Bobby joked waving goodbye to everyone as they all got in the car and drove away.
Castiel asleep, his head on Dean's shoulder, snoring lightly. Dean's cheek resting on the top of his head, snoring also. Sam also asleep, the back of his head leaning on the seat behind him, since he didn't have a shoulder to lean on. Gabriel, however was awake.
"So, Gabriel" Mary began, "Me and John have been meaning to talk to you about something"...
