Hello again. Are you sick of me yet? Just a quick not to thank Mummabro and Valice for their great reviews. I love you guys. Anyway here we go again.
Disclaimer: Nope it's still not mine.
Monday night Dean was working behind the bar wondering if it would be okay to go round to Cas' tonight. They had spent the weekend together when he wasn't working after all. But…he missed seeing him. (Ah Dean. It's never wrong to go see Cas.)
Just then he heard the door open and close and looking up he saw Gabriel walk in.
"Hello Dean-o." Gabriel said popping himself on a bar stool. He had left Cassie this afternoon finishing his painting and he thought that he should be busy for a while which gave him time to 'get to know' his brothers boyfriend.
"Gabriel. What can I get you?" Dean asked. He had already heard from Cas that about their conversation this afternoon. Cas calling him as soon as his brother had left, in fact he was still on the phone behind the bar.
"Beer please. And a moment of your time if you have it." Gabriel replied with a smile on his lips. It was the smile that made Dean wary. It wasn't exaggerated but honest. And that scared him.
"Sure." He replied grabbing two bottles and coming round the bar giving Gabriel a look asking where he wanted to sit.
Gabriel was about to say at the bar was fine when he noticed the phone and smirking he suggested to Dean they move to one of the booths.
"So Gabriel. What can I do for you?" Dean asked wanting to cut to the chase.
Gabriel smiled at this. "Well Dean-o it's not so much that you can do anything for me more I just wanted to talk, you know?" he responded putting heavy emphasis on the last words.
Dean put his head down on the table with a groan then looked up at Gabriel. "This is the big brother speech isn't it?" he said weakly.
"Yeap." Gabriel replied with a smirk.
"Okay fine. Let's get it over with." Dean replied taking a long swig of his beer. He really didn't want to have this conversation now. (Or ever if given the choice.)
"Oaky. So you and I both know that Cassie is special-" Gabriel started only to be interrupted by Dean smiling goofily and saying "Yeah."
"Okay Dean-o stay with me here. Cassie is special. I love him and would do anything for him. Now you are making him happy and making…changes which are good things." Gabriel went from smiling friendly guy to scary hard eyed serious mother fucker in the blink of an eye. "But you ever hurt my little brother and I will punish you so badly you will wish you were never born. Do I make myself clear?"
Dean gulped when he looked into Gabriel's eyes and realised for all his playful prankster persona this was one guy you really didn't want to mess with. Ever. "Perfectly."
With that word Gabriel went back to being his affable self and smiled at Dean. "Good." Was all he said.
"Gabriel can I ask you a question?" Dean asked cautiously. After the display he just witnessed there was something he really wanted to know.
"You can ask but I might not answer." Gabriel replied with a shrug, wondering where Dean was going with this.
"Fair enough." Dean said, looking round the bar to check no one was within listening distance before turning back to Gabriel and asking "When was the last time you spoke to your dad?"
At this Gabriel just looked at Dean. Trying to work out if he knew. Looking into the man's eyes he realised that yes he did know what happened between Cassie and their father. He was surprised and pleased that Cas had trusted him enough to tell him. With that he decided he should let him know the rest. "The night he kicked Cassie out." Was all he said as he took a sip of his beer watching Dean over the bottom of the bottle.
Dean nodded when he heard Gabriel's reply. In all honesty from his previous behaviour he would have expected nothing less. And it was nothing less than he would do for Sammy. With that he looked up and Dean and Gabriel's eyes locked as they came to the silent understanding that in some respects they were very alike. And clinking their bottles together they both nodded at the other and drank.
Castiel was sitting in his studio working when down the phone line he heard his brother. He thought nothing of it until he heard the words 'a moment of your time' from him directed at Dean. At that Cas looked up in horror at the thought of whatever his brother was doing. Forgetting all about his painting he was out the door in seconds, stopping only to grab his coat and phone. He did not trust Gabriel alone with Dean.
When Cas arrived at The Roadhouse he looked around with fear in his eyes only to find Dean and Gabriel sitting in a booth laughing so hard they were crying. At the scene he narrowed his eyes. How dare his brother scare him like that and drag him from his painting. With this thought in mind he stormed over to their table in righteous fury only to stop dead when Dean looked up and saw him.
Dean looked so happy to see him, he couldn't be cross with his brother when Dean looked at him like that. The next thing he knew he was in Dean's arms as the man got up and grabbed him holding him tight.
"Hey Cas." Dean whispered almost reverently to the man in his arms.
"Hello Dean." Castiel replied with equal awe in his voice and there eyes locking together.
"Aaaaand that's my cue to leave." Gabriel said to no one in particular (mainly cos no one was listening) and made his way over to the bar to talk to Bobby and Benny who were standing there.
"I thought you were working." Dean said still not letting go of his 'angel'.
"I was. Then I heard my brother saying he wanted to talk to you and I don't trust Gabriel." Castiel replied with complete honesty.
"It's okay Cas. Your bros not going to hurt me…or at least not at the moment." Dean corrected as he remembered Gabriel's warning.
"Why would he hurt you Dean?" Cas asked tilting his head. He was very confused.
"Don't worry about it Cas. It's not going to happen." Dean replied not really wanting to explain to him about big brother conversations.
"Okay." Cas nodded. He really didn't want to talk about Gabriel when he had Dean in his arms. "I missed you." He whispered against his lovers lips.
"I missed you too Cas." Dean responded with barely any breath as they both moved to close the distance and let their lips met in a desperate yet soft kiss.
And across the bar Gabriel put his hands around his mouth and yelled "get a room would you?" at his baby bro and his man, smiling as he said it. (See Gabriel Dean is good for your little bro.)
