I followed the angel brothers down to the kitchen. "Hey guys! Look who's up again!" Gabe called and the brothers whooped and cleared a space for me. "Allright then! Come on, Gwen, show us!" Dean pleaded. A bit, no a lot, selfconcious, I stepped through the doorway. Sam and Dean both stood with wide eyes and open mouths. "Oh my god, Gwen! They are just gorgeous!" Sam breathed and he reached out for them. Gabe cleared his throat noisily and Sam's hand stopped, midair. "Right... Sensitive." he said meekly. Cas raised an eyebrow at his brother before stepping in. "Not only that, pretty ehm... Private parts too." Sam blanched. "Oh my god! So sorry, Gwen... I didn't know!" I rolled my eyes at Gabe. 'Really? You couldn't tell me that before? I was more than willing to let them touch. You asshat.' Gabe looked a bit abashed. "It's ok, Sam. I didn't know either, until Cas just opened his mouth. I think that is a thing angels learn, and we don't." I cast a glare at Gabe. 'I'm sorry, Gwenny. I forgot, and I got jealous, again.' It sounded so regretfull, I almost smiled. 'Then get a hold of yourself, or get out. I'm going to let them touch, just this once. It's a once in a lifetime for them.' I felt his shock, his resolve and his acceptance.

I turned a chair around at the table, sat down and spread my wings full span. "Come on then boys. Have at me. It's ok, just this once." I crossed my arms over the back of the chair and let my head rest on them. "Are you sure, Gwen?" Sam asked carefully. I hummed in assent. "Really sure?" Dean piped up, sounding even a bit more nervous. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He cast a nervous glance at Gabe. "Don't worry, Dean. It's ok. I say it is, so no-one can say otherwise." Cas blinked surprised and shot a quick look at his brother, who was determinedly looking at the stove. Dean breathed deeply. "Ok then... If you're sure..." And he carefully put a hand on my righthand wing. "Oh my god! Those are super soft!" He carefully carded his fingers through the plumage, making little shivers run up my spine. Nothing arousing, but very relaxing, like a good massage. I heard Sam clear his throat. "Yes, Sammy... You too." I mumbled. "Go ahead." I felt his hand lightly land on my other wing. "Oh wow..." he breathed softly, and he started mimicking Dean's actions.

I folded my wings a tiny bit, to let them feel the movement and both bothers gasped in awe. "That's amazing!" they said in unison. I smiled. I loved when they did that in the books, but to hear it was even more amazing. "You guys..." I mumbled affectionately. "... you are just great!" I felt sleepy, but Sam let his hand venture to the point where the wing joined my back, and that gave an unexpected reaction, even for me. I shot up, almost whacking the Winchesters with my wings. "Ehm, guys..." Cas said, a tad too late. "The point where the back and wings meet, is quite sensitive, since the uropygial glands are situated there." Dean cleared his throat. "Uhm, we got that, Cas. Thanks." Sam put a hand on my shoulder. "You ok there, Gwen?" I blinked. "Yeah... Yeah, I'm good." I carefully glanced around at Gabe, but he was gone. "He left when you told Sam it was ok." Cas said in a low whisper. "I think you might want to check on him." I smiled at him. "Thanks, Cas. Am I wrong on assuming you were a bit late telling the boys to be careful, because you were keeping an eye out for Gabriel?" A warm smile graced his cute face. "That, and I had my back turned... It's not usual to watch people touch wings. Intimacy..." I felt a surge of affection for Cas and I hugged him, taking care to not include my wings this time. "Thanks Cas! You're the greatest!"
