Note: Hi everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read my story. I hope you like it! I'm not really sure where this is going to go, it's just an idea I had. If you have any suggestions or would like me to write anything specific in this story just let me know! Any reviews would be great!
Gabe had seen Cas run out to say goodbye to Lucifer, however, he hadn't seen where he had gone. Gabe walked with Balthazar through what used to be his home. Heaven had been destroyed by the fighting. The formerly beautiful paradise had been replaced with a new post-apocalyptic land of destruction. Heaven was silent as all the angels had sought solitude to recover from their injuries and process what had happened.
Gabe wandered through the destroyed Heaven, searching for Cas with Balthazar close to his side. Gabe had been the angel who found Cas and he had always felt a fierce sense of protection towards him. Just as Gabe was beginning to lose hope, he heard a muffled cry, which could only belong to one baby angel. He turned to look at his younger brother, Balthazar, who looked older than his young years, with his silver wings folded dejectedly behind him. Balthazar caught Gabe's eyes and together they set off towards the cries.
They soon found Cas tucked up in a nest, with his wings and trench-coat tucked around him. Gabriel's heart broke, seeing his younger brother so upset. He had wanted to protect him from the dangers and heartbreak of the world but he had already failed. "Cas," Gabe asked, "Are you okay?" Upon hearing his older brothers voice Cas flew into Gabe's arms and sobbed into his shirt. "Shhh," Gabe hushed, "It's going to be okay, Cas." Looking at Balthazar, Gabe quietly said, "Let's go back to our nest." Balthazar nodded once and launched into the air. Gabe followed him, clutching Cas tightly.
As they landed in their nest, Gabe prised the now sniffling Cas away from him and laid him gently down. Balthazar laid down next to Cas and Gabe laid on the other side, spreading his great golden wings over his brothers.
Gabe looked at Cas and said, "It's going to be okay Cas. You still have us. But what were you doing in that nest? You know it isn't ours." Cas looked up at Gabe and answered simply, "It was Luci's old nest. I missed him." Gabe sighed and pilled Cas closer. Of course his brother would hide in Lucifer's old nest. Gabe gently murmured, rubbing his hand through Cas' silky hair, "Oh Cas. I miss him too. But it's going to be okay, you still have Balthazar and I. We'll look after you."
Cas closed his eyes and snuggled into his brother, "Okay Gabby," he murmured. Gabe gently smiled and closed his eyes, his heart slowly breaking from the events of the day. He knew it would take time but eventually it would be alright.
God looked down at his angels, upset at what had happened to them. He had known this was coming. It was part of the Great Plan after all, but he had never known that it would cause his children this much heartbreak. His gaze then fell on three of his angels. He smiled as he saw them nestled up against each other. Maybe it would be okay. Maybe these angels would be left with love in their heart. He hoped, for Cas' sake that they were.
