Chapter Eight
Christmas morning had never really meant anything to Gabriel. When he was younger, it made him rush downstairs so that he could gather his presents before either of his older brothers tried to break them. As he got older, Christmas morning was spent in a strained silence before their parents left the room, only for that silence to break into shouts and insults. Gabriel had learned not to expect anything from the day, to hide how he was feeling to keep the peace.
Waking up warm and secure wasn't what Gabriel was expecting, nor were the soft kisses he and Dean exchanged before dressing and making their way downstairs hand in hand. Instead of fighting, they teased one another; instead of trying to claim the best present they shared and gave each other gifts that had meaning behind them. It was the kind of Christmas which Gabriel had always thought about having but never could have. Even though the turkey was a bit overdone and the voices were a bit loud, it was perfect, and Gabriel hoped that he was reading the signs right from Dean, that the other man wanted him too because he could find himself wanting to spend every Christmas with his family.
"Are you sure you need to leave?" asked Ellen, watching as Dean loaded their things into the trunk of the Impala. Gabriel nodded, his eyes barely leaving Dean most of the day.
"We would love to stay, but I have some work that needs to be done before I return and didn't bring my laptop with me." It was a white lie; while he did have some work he needed to complete it wouldn't be the end of the world if he did it the morning before work. Still, they needed an excuse to leave, and Dean hadn't wanted to sound like they wanted to go.
"You know I've never seen Dean so happy as he is with you. Don't think for a second that it won't stop me from kicking your ass if you break his heart. That boy has been through enough heartache." Laughing for a moment, Gabriel turned to face Ellen fully, his eyes trailing over Dean one more time before he focused on the woman.
"I promise, I would never intentionally harm Dean in any way. It's him who is going to have to get rid of me, and I'm stubborn as hell."
Ellen searched his expression for a moment before nodding, a smile on her lips while she pulled him into a hug. "Don't let him go breaking your heart either. Four years is too long for anyone to wait to be noticed. Don't let the chance slip through your fingers now that he has." Letting go, Ellen took a couple of steps back so that she was standing beside Bobby who lifted his hat at Gabriel for a moment. "Now you two are welcome here any time, the both of you."
A squeal rang out before Gabriel was wrapped in two pairs of arms, two mouths pressing a kiss to either cheek. Laughing, Gabriel hugged Charlie and Jo back to the best of his ability. He liked the women; while he could connect better with Charlie as they read a lot of the same material, Jo was no less entertaining. "You need to come back sometime, even without Dean… tell you what when he does something to screw up you come to stay with us for a couple of days and we'll binge the hell out of Doctor Who, yeah?" asked Charlie, holding Gabriel at arm's length.
Gabriel nodded, "I will, but only if it's Tenant and Whittaker." Both women agreeing to the plan, Gabriel turned to the last member of the family he had yet to say goodbye to.
Jessica came up and hugged Gabriel, both laughing at Sam's shout as Gabriel lifted the woman and spun her around before setting her back on her feet. Jessica rolled her eyes, giving Gabriel a big kiss to the cheek before he pulled away and went to the car. Dean had already said his goodbyes to his parents and Jessica before packing the vehicle. Once he was close enough, Gabriel held out his hand to the younger brother who quickly took it.
"It was nice meeting you, Samster, and if I can give a little advice? You marry that girl before I come back and sweep her off her feet, yeah?" An arm wrapped around him, pulling Gabriel back into a firm chest he had gotten to know over the past couple days. With a few more shouts of goodbye and a couple more promises for another visit made, Gabriel was ushered into the car by Dean who took the wheel, pulling out the driveway and making their way back home. Gabriel had half expected the man to start talking once they hit the highway but instead Dean remained silent, the radio playing while they drove.
It was over an hour before either said anything, the silence broken by Dean. "My family seems to like you, even Jo. The last time I brought someone for her to meet she nearly scared the woman half to death talking about her gun collection." Dean's right hand left the steering wheel, resting between them and Gabriel took the offer, placing his palm on the taller man's.
"I like your family, and she did pull me aside to tell me about her collection… but I don't think you understand how obsessed Luke can get, although he always preferred knives."
Larger fingers squeezed his own in comfort. "Gabe…" at the tone, the man, was using, Gabriel knew what was coming. Dreading the oncoming conversation, he shook his head and turned pleading eyes on his friend.
"Not here. Take me back to my apartment, Dean, and we can talk there while I unpack, yeah?" Dean hesitated before nodding, his eyes darting between the road and Gabriel for the rest of the trip. It was a long drive, Gabriel couldn't stop himself from worrying, even if the hand that was in his own never left, holding at least part of him in comfort.
Arriving at his building, Gabriel took a deep breath as Dean parked the car. His hands were starting to shake, and Gabriel swallowed the lump in his throat before exiting the Impala and making his way to the trunk. It didn't take him long to drag his things out of the car, and as promised Dean remained silent carrying his suit for him, slung over his shoulder while they made their way inside. Sliding his key into the lock, Gabriel took a breath before swinging the door to his apartment open. Tugging his suitcase behind him, Gabriel made his way inside, tossing the keys in the bowl close to the doorway before slipping off his boots and jacket.
"You can hang the suit on the coat rack. I'm going to need to get it cleaned anyway." Not bothering to turn around and see if Dean followed his suggestion, Gabriel made his way to the bedroom. Thankfully he had cleaned up from having to pull everything out to pack before leaving. Hoisting the suitcase on the bed, Gabriel got to work. His dirty laundry was already tied together in a bag and easily deposited in the hamper. Picking up an unused pair of pants, Gabriel tried to gather himself for the conversation that was to come.
Gabriel could feel Dean's eyes on him from the doorway, though he did not indicate it. One article of clothing after the other, he returned his clean outfits to their proper place, leaving the suitcase almost empty except for his shower bag, the bottle of lube and a string of condoms. Having forgotten about the items, Gabriel blushed before trying to shut the suitcase before Dean saw what was inside. The flush of his cheeks alerted Dean to something being wrong, his legs covering the distance between them in long strides before he was standing behind Gabriel.
"What has you blushing?" asked the taller man, his chest pressed against Gabriel's back making his head swim. Without much resistance, Dean opened the suitcase to see what was inside, his other hand coming to rest on Gabriel's waist while he did. "Gabe?" There was so much being asked in the one word that Gabriel shook his head, his hands clenched at his sides while Dean reached forward and pulled out the bottle. It was already opened, though thankfully had a tight seal as not to spill into the suitcase.
Popping open the lid, Dean brought the lube past Gabriel's shoulder and to his nose to inhale, the scent of strawberries hitting him before he closed the lid and tossed it onto the bed. Next to land on the mattress was the string of condoms, Dean's body inching closer until he was standing flush against Gabriel. "I'm going to guess that you weren't planning on picking someone up at your boyfriend's house, Gabe. Can I assume that you had something else in mind when you packed those?"
Shaking his head before Dean finished the question, Gabriel leaned into the body heat behind him, wanting to remember what Dean felt like. The taller man reached around and tugged the empty suitcase off the bed, his hands then resting on Gabriel's hips. "You don't have to say anything if you don't want to, Gabe… but I need to know. What you said to my family when we went out, did you mean that? Have I been blind for so long?"
For a moment Gabriel didn't answer, his body tense while Dean rubbed his thumbs along his hip bones to try and relax the smaller man. When Gabriel nodded the green-eyed man breathed a deep sigh of relief, his head resting against the side of Gabriel's neck and arms wrapping to hold the blond against him. "I thought you didn't see me. For so long I thought you didn't see me, Gabriel, that you weren't interested. How could we have wasted so much time?" It took a minute for the whiskey-eyed man to build up his pride, to believe what Dean was saying. Ever so slowly he turned in the other man's arms, his own coming up to wrap around Dean's neck while their fronts connected.
"Do you mean that? It's okay if you don't, Dean. We can pretend that nothing changed... I swear I can still be your best friend and not let this ruin us." Instead of answering Dean surged forward, his lips claiming Gabriel's in a kiss far more passionate than they had shared before. Gabriel could do little but hold on as the taller man ravished his mouth, a hand cupping the back of his head while another slipped under his shirt to rest against the small of his back.
The kiss didn't break but for air before Dean was capturing his lips again. Gabriel ran his fingers through the other's short hair, arching his back and pressing their groins together. With a growl, Dean's hand left his hair, instead moving to the shorter man's ass and squeezing the flesh there through his jeans. Whimpering, Gabriel tugged them a small step back, wanting to have Dean on top of him, pinning him down. "Dean… please, I want you naked…"
Hands tugged and removed clothing, not caring how hastily they were pulled off before lips once again sought each other. Gabriel could do little more than whimper as he stood there bare, Dean's hands roaming his skin while the other man stepped out of his boxers. Holding the taller man's head in place, Gabriel kept their bodies close, his other hand tugging on Dean's arm while walking beside the bed. "Gabe, fuck, Gabe… too long, we've been waiting too long."
Nodding, Gabriel removed himself from his soon to be lover, crawling onto the bed and laying down, legs and arms spread in the middle of the mattress waiting for Dean. The taller man scooped up the lube and condoms, ripping one of the small foil packages apart from the others and setting it beside Gabriel on the bed before moving between his legs. The smaller man wrapped his legs around Dean's hips, their naked groins pressing together and caused both to moan at the sensation.
"I've wanted you forever, Gabe; you have no idea the list of things I want to do to you, if you'll let me?" Before he could answer, Gabriel's neck was assaulted by Dean's mouth, causing the shorter man to lose his train of thought.
"Dean, please, Dean… next time, I promise you can do whatever you want to me next time. I need to feel you inside me, Dean, please." Teeth bit down on his neck, making the blond squirm before the contact was lost, Dean sitting up and away from him.
Eyes shooting open, Gabriel watched as the taller man grabbed the lube, slicking his fingers and lifting Gabriel's left leg to his shoulder to better open him. Nodding at the unasked question, Gabriel's eyes slid shut for a moment as a finger breached his hole. "Yes," whispered Gabriel, rocking his hips to take the digit deeper. A bit more lube and another finger was added, and though it burned slightly, Gabriel didn't hesitate to continue moving his hips lightly into the touch, encouraging his lover.
"Fuck, Gabe, you're so damn eager for it." Gabriel whimpered and moaned as slowly a third finger was worked in, stretching him and preparing him for what was to come. Once Dean could work three fingers inside, he removed his hand, leaning back to reach for the condom and opening the foil package. Gabriel glared at the item making Dean laugh before leaning forward and slotting their mouths together again. Licking his lips as Dean adjusted himself and slid the rubber over his aching cock, Gabriel's eyes locked with the green ones above him.
"Tomorrow we're booking an appointment. I want nothing between us as soon as possible." The comment earned a groan from Dean who slicked his condom-covered shaft in lube. With both legs up on Dean's shoulders, Gabriel could do little more than run his hands up Dean's strong arms while the other positioned himself and slowly sunk into his entrance. Hissing at the burn, Gabriel relaxed around his lover, reaching beside his head to grab a pillow and shove it under himself as Dean lifted his hips in the air for a moment.
The slide was slow, Dean not wanting to harm him while Gabriel tried to accept his endowed lover into his body. By the time he could feel the course pubic hair of his lover against the soft flesh of his cheeks, Gabriel could hardly breathe, both panting together. Shifting ever so slightly, the smaller man adjusted his position while Dean remained still, not wanting to rush him. Dean lowered Gabriel's legs to his waist, the smaller man opening his eyes to look up at his lover. It was only a moment before Gabriel had his hands grasping at the body above his, holding Dean to him while the taller man brought their lips together.
Slowly, Dean began to move. Gabriel had never had someone take him so gently, to make love to him despite the need he could feel in Dean's kisses. Gasping and whimpering under the man, Gabriel could hardly keep still, wanting to have his lover take him deeper and harder. Pleading his case, Gabriel tried to buck into Dean's thrusts, only to be held down by the stronger man, making him cry out against his lover's lips. "Dean, Dean, please."
Locking his whiskey eyes with green, Gabriel arched up against Dean who kept his pace. Feeling his impending orgasm about to claim him, Gabriel once again brought their lips together. "Gabriel," Dean whispered against the smaller man's mouth, keeping their gazes fixed on one another while his hips pumped out of rhythm. "I love you, Gabe. I love you." With a particularly hard thrust against his prostate, Gabriel came, his hands tightly gripping Dean's hair as his lover buried his head into Gabriel's neck, groaning as he found his release.
They lay there, both coming together after their climax, sweat-slick bodies held close. Gabriel was the first to move, his lips placing soft kisses along Dean's neck. "I love you too, you oblivious idiot."
Dean laughed, pulling back enough to smile at Gabriel, ignoring how their bodies were sticking together. "So, any chance I could convince you to come home with me next Christmas?"
Gabriel shook his head, hands hooked behind Dean's head. "Don't know, I guess that depends on if I can stand living with you for that long." Eyes widening, Dean hissed as his dick slipped out of Gabriel. Leaning back enough to tie off the condom, Dean then returned to the mattress, lying beside Gabriel on his side facing his lover.
"Living together?" he questioned, his eyebrow raised while Gabriel turned toward him.
"What can I say, if we're going to make a go of this, I'm going to need to see if I can handle being more than your holiday boyfriend."
Dean laughed, his green eyes brightening before leaning in for another kiss. "I'll get Sammy to help pack my things next weekend." The two smiled, each relishing the feeling of after four years finally being able to hold the one they loved close.
