It turned out making the child take a bath wasn't easy as well. "Would you just stay still!?" The bothers hear Gabriel shriek. More screaming and splashing was heard instead of calmness. "Man, am I glad I'm not dealing with that." Dean mutters. Sam nods in agreement, he preferred non-screaming children.
"Don't you even- "a bunch of water gushed out from under the door. Some giggling was heard shortly after, "That's it." Both brother brace themselves for more screaming, or cursing; the only thing however they heard was more giggling and flaps of wings.
"Oh, is that funny to you? My wings are all wet because of you." Gabriel says in a light playful tone. More laughter was heard, as well as splashing. Sam chuckles slightly, "You can't deny he's good with Cas." He muses. Dean scowls slightly, "Yeah… still don't like him." He mumbles to himself more than to Sam.
Sure, the archangel took a fall for them a few years back, but that didn't make him less of an asshole. "HA, he's clean!" Gabriel cheers triumphantly, holding a towel bundled Cas. "Congrats, you cleaned a child." Dean says rolling his eyes. "You try washing this little nightmare! He splashes, squirms and has the nerve to even spit water at you!" Gabriel says as if it was the most horrible thing he could think of.
This of course sent Cas into a fit of giggles, again. "Oo are unny Abey!" he says giggling. Gabriel grins, looking at Dean smugly. "What?" The Winchester as irritated. Was that supposed to make him feel jealous? Gabriel was Cas's brother after all, he knew his friend would pick family… even if said family was a dick.
Dean knew how it worked. Sam always picked him over dad, Gabriel and Cas probably had that relationship after everything went hang wire. "DE!" A happy squeal brought him back from his thoughts. "Old me De old me!" Cas basically demanded the hunter.
"Are you su-" Cas interrupted again, grabbing for Dean. "Deeeeeee old me old Cassie!" the child wines. "You heard the kid, take him." Gabriel says shoving Cas into Dean's arms. "Really?" Sam asks sighing. This was going to be fun.
"Ack Gabriel!" Dean hisses out, "You son of a-" "Ah ah aaahh no cursing near Cassie." Gabriel cuts of Dean. The hunter scowling in response, "Don't want him having a potty mouth." He says. Cas giggles and looks up at Dean, who sighs in defeat. "Fine." He growls out.
After silence and Cas either babbling or giggling Sam spoke up. "Cas still needs some stuff." He says. Sam regretted the words after seeing Gabriel's face light up with a smirk. "I know just the place." He says all ready to zap, "No we are driving." Dean cuts in firmly.
Sam groans, there was no way there were going anywhere with these two. "Let's have Cassie decide then." Gabriel says frowning. Dean looked down at the child expectantly, Cas was currently sucking on his thumb. When he realized that they wanted his opinion he looked at Sam, pointed and squealed, "Moose!"
Sam chuckles slightly at the answer. "I'm going to take that as he wants to drive." Dean says smugly. Gabriel frowns and crosses his arms, "Fine we'll take that human contraction." He grumbles. Cas, obviously to the two, giggles. "Onna et ore of da lothes?" Cas asks tilting his head.
"We're getting more than that this time." Dean says. He couldn't contain a smile. "Wait, you just got him clothes?" Gabriel asks. "I'm surprised he didn't pee on you." He says with a small snicker. "It was two when we finally got back, I didn't think of it." Dean says scowling.
"Yeah yeah, anyway let's get this kid things he need." Gabriel says rolling his eyes. "At least you got him clothes." He mumbles to himself. They all went to the impala. Dean tried wrangling Cas into his car seat. "Come on Cas." He groans. The child shrieks in response as he squirmed. "Gabriel, you can't sit in the front, I don't fit back there." Sam argues with the archangel. "Then I'll sit up front." Gabriel says crossing his arms.
"There's no room for you." Sam grumbles. How childish was Gabriel. He was seriously having this conversation with an archangel?
"Fine then I'll sit on your lap." Gabriel says as if that would solve everything. Sam's cheeks went pink at how serious Gabriel sounded. "You can't sit on my lap!" He says scowling. The archangel opened his mouth, probably to say something either offensive or flirtatious.
"I have no idea what you're talking about but get into the car." Dean says. He had finally gotten Cas into the car seat, only to the extent of getting kicked in the face once. Sam quickly got into the front seat, he smiles slightly smugly at Gabriel, the smugness fading when the archangel very seriously sat on Sam's lap.
Dean took one look at this and just drove. "Seriously!?" Sam hisses out, his face going red when Gabriel wiggled on his lap. "There's a kid in the car, and it's my car, don't." Dean cuts in. Sam sighs heavily in relief when Gabriel went still. It was quiet for a heavenly five minutes, then Cas spoke.
"De ee onna et da dandy?" Gabriel answered before Dean could even process what Cas had said. "Course we're going to get candy." He says grinning. Both Winchesters glared at the archangel, who just shrugged.
"Yay! Dandy dandy dandy!" Cas cheers. Honestly Dean didn't know how mothers did it. Sammy was a somewhat decent child, sure he was stubborn, but at least he was quiet. Dean pulled into a parking spot in the nearest mall, not sure how long he could listen to Cas's happy chants of getting candy.
"We're here now Cas." Dean says, the cheering instantly stopped. Small giggles were heard instead now. "Get off." Sam says attempting to push the archangel off, "Fine, you don't have to be so commanding." Gabriel complains. He gets out of the car, Sam sighing in relief.
"Let's go shopping." Dean says. It must have been a strange sight, three grown men, and a small giggling child. Well some ladies totally gave them strange looks. None of them were bothered by it really. They walked into the mall, ready to shop for Cas.
