Hello you wonderful people. I am so so sorry that I haven't updated recently, but my ex-boyfriend is a stupid piece of shit that thinks it's really fun to play with my emotions, so I haven't been in a 'date writing' kind of mood recently. Sorry, but! I hope that this chapter makes up for it and I have most of the next chapter written so I plan on getting that up by Tuesday at the latest. Anyway, thank you guys so much for your reviews (VonZenhousen and KawaiiSwen), favs, and follows! Love you guys!


Sam ran some gel through his hair and backed up from the sink to straighten out his navy blue plaid shirt. Why he had actually agreed to go on this date with this guy was beyond him. Yeah, he was attractive, and charming, and funny, and…okay, maybe it wasn't too far beyond him, but still, it wasn't like Sam to go out with guys (or girls for that matter) that left their numbers for him at the diner. Dean was already out on his date, so Sam was left alone to get ready for his date without ridicule or a million questions. He wasn't sure what Gabriel really had planned, but Sam was hoping it was something that was mostly low-key.

Gabriel sat outside Sam's apartment building, waiting for the clock to turn to seven, the time he was supposed to pick up Sam. He was planning on a movie, maybe some dinner at a bar if Sam was up to it after, but he did have school the next night so maybe not that. The clock struck seven and Gabriel was out of his car and walked very quickly (ran) up to Sam's door. He pulled the wrinkles out of his Kelley green shirt and ran a hand through his hair, and then knocked. He waited all of five seconds (not that he was counting) for Sam to pull the door open.

"Well hey there, Samsquatch. You look," Gabriel looked the younger man over. "You look pretty good." He wasn't lying either. Sam looked amazing. Gabriel saw the blush creep up on Sam's face and smiled.

"Thanks, you don't look bad yourself. So, where are we going?" Sam figured with somebody like Gabriel they would be going to some sort of club, and Sam would have to think of an excuse to not go since there was no way he would be able to get in.

"Actually, I was thinking that we could go on a picnic. My brother told me about this park that he's been to." Gabriel had thought about taking Sam downtown, but school was starting the day after tomorrow so Gabriel needed to get his sleep schedule in order.

"Yeah, that sounds great." Sam smiled and closed the door to the apartment and locked it.

"Ready to go?" Gabriel led the way down to his car and opened the door to the car for Sam.

"And a gentleman? Wow, who would've thought?" Sam quipped before getting into the passenger seat.

Gabriel was a little hurt that Sam thought he wouldn't be a gentleman, but he guessed that he would just have to show him that he could be (in the right situations). Gabriel shut Sam's door, walked to the driver's side of the car, and got in.

"So, what park are we going to?" Gabriel shrugged.

"My younger brother, you remember him right?"

"I uh…I recall." Gabriel glanced at the guilty look on Sam's face then back to the road. The smirk that appeared was totally justified.

"He told me about it." Now Gabriel had to know. "Were you jealous that I brought him there?"

"What?! No, of course not, I…"

"Look Sammy, shouldn't we start this relationship with honesty?" Sam heard the smugness in Gabriel's voice, but realized that his heart had sped up when the word 'relationship' came out of his mouth.

"I…thought that maybe you brought him in for a morning after breakfast, and yes, maybe I was the tiniest bit jealous." Gabriel chuckled low and Sam looked over at him. "What?"

"Nothing, just kinda cute that you thought Cassie was a morning after thing. Cassie isn't really a one night stand kinda guy."

"Are you?" Sam didn't want to say it. He really didn't, but at seventeen, he had his share of heartbreaks and guys and girls that thought he was only good for one night in the back of a car and then they were done with him. He was hoping that Gabriel wouldn't do that to him.

Gabriel didn't answer for a minute because to be honest, normally, he was that kind of guy. With Sam though, it felt that it would be different.

"I used to be, but I think the right person can change anyone." Sam leaned back against the seat, relaxing. He let out a breath that he hadn't known that he had been holding. The two made small talk about the town until they made it to the park. Gabriel parked his car and Sam reached for the door handle.

"Hey, I thought we were going to pretend that I was a gentleman tonight?" Gabriel smiled and got out of the car. He ran to Sam's door and opened it for him. Sam got out of the car and towered over Gabriel. Gabriel wasn't sure how much younger Sam was than him, but it was just downright unfair that he was that much taller than him. He stepped away and grabbed the picnic basket out of the backseat of the car.

"Ready?"

"Sure." Sam wasn't sure if he was actually ready or not. He'd never been on a date with somebody so much older than him. When they had texted and talked on the phone for the time between they had exchanged numbers and the actual date, it didn't seem to matter, but now they were going to be face to face for longer than when Gabriel came to visit him at the restaurant.

Sam followed Gabriel to a small, clear area and waited for Gabriel to spread the blanket out before sitting down.

"So, what have you prepared for this auspicious picnic?"

"My specialty," Gabriel knelt down in front of Sam and began pulling out cans of pop, chips, and finally, two sandwiches. "PB and J." Sam laughed and Gabriel was pretty sure he was already in love with that sound.

"Good thing I'm not that hard to impress."

"That is good, because I'm not that impressive." Gabriel muttered to his sandwich.

"I find that hard to believe." Sam replied as he took a bite of his own meal. "I mean, you've obviously impressed me somehow. I don't go out with just anybody that leaves me their number at the diner."

"Hm, never thought of it like that, Sammy." Sam rolled his eyes at the nickname, but decided not to say anything. Apparently being with Gabriel meant having to put up with nicknames. "So why did you decide to go out with me? I mean, I ate pancakes and left you my number then came back to bug you the next day."

"Well, you made me laugh, and you're not horrible looking, so there's that." Sam shrugged and took another bite of his sandwich and looked over at Gabriel. Gabriel put his hand on his chest and sniffed.

"That may be the nicest thing anybody's ever said to me." Sam laughed.

"So what was it about me that drew you in?" Gabriel looked over at Sam and noticed the setting sun was reflecting in his eyes. It was breathtaking and suddenly Gabriel forgot how to make a coherent thought.

"Well, honestly, it was that smile. Those dimples are just too damn adorable." Sam grinned and looked away, trying to hide his smile from Gabriel.

"Wow, you really know how to lay it on thick don't you?"

Throughout the rest of dinner, the two fell into easy conversations about their families and books they had read. Sam tried to avoid letting it slip that he was still in high school and wasn't quite eighteen yet. After all, what was the difference in ten months? Sam was more than old enough to know who he wanted to be with.

At one point, Gabriel laid back and looked up at the stars, and Sam joined him. Gabriel considered scooting over and placing his head on Sam's chest, but he settled for just reaching for and finding his hand. He noticed Sam smile from the corner of his eye.

"Do you know anything about astronomy?" Sam asked quietly. He knew a few constellations from his Boy Scout days, but nothing too major.

"No, not really. How about you?" Gabriel felt Sam begin to draw circles with his thumb on his hand.

"A little bit." Sam pointed up the sky. "I'm pretty sure that's Pegasus, but who knows if I'm right."

"I'll take your word for it." The two continued staring up at the stars in silence, until Sam, unintentionally, let out a yawn.

"Am I boring you, Sammy?" Gabriel looked over and was met with a tired smile from Sam.

"Nah, just had a long day at work and it's so calming here."

"I do tend to have that effect on people. Come on, let's get you home." Gabriel stood up and offered his hand to Sam. Sam took it and tried to pull himself up, but Gabriel ended up falling on top of Sam with and 'oof!' They both looked at each other for a moment before a fit of laughter escaped both of them.

"Are you okay?" Sam asked once he could breathe again.

"Me?! I'm the one that landed on you! Are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Sam suddenly realized how close his lips were to Gabriel's. Gabriel noticed the same thing, and decided to close the gap, touching their lips together. Sam wrapped his fingers in Gabriel's hair and deepened the kiss. Gabriel's tongue swiped across Sam's bottom lip and Sam allowed him entrance. The two's tongues danced together in their mouths until Gabriel reluctantly pulled away.

"Come on, Samsquatch, you don't seem like the kind of guy that puts out on the first date and if you don't want that to happen, we should probably get you home." Gabriel grinned and stood up. He offered his hand to Sam again and Sam pulled himself up this time. The two packed the basket back up, walked towards Gabriel's car and Gabriel again opened the door for Sam.

"Thank you," Sam gave Gabriel a kiss on top of his head and then got into the car. Gabriel shut the door and made his way over to the driver's side.

"So, now that the first date is done, when can the next one be?" Gabriel inquired as he started the car and began to drive back towards Sam's apartment.

"Soon, maybe this weekend?" Gabriel smiled.

"Sounds perfect."

As they pulled into the parking lot, Sam saw his brother's car so, figured it would be better if Gabriel didn't walk him to the door.

"Well, I'll text you later then." Gabriel was sure that the only reason Sam didn't want him to walk him to the door was so that Sam's brother, Dean, didn't bother them. Gabriel could respect that, he guessed.

"Alright, I'll be waiting." Sam leaned over and Gabriel one more kiss before he got out of the car and up to his apartment.

Gabriel watched as Sam walked over to the building of the door. He couldn't believe a man like Sam wanted to be with a man like him. And that he thought a crappy picnic date had been not only okay, but good enough to warrant a second date. Gabriel sighed happily to himself before driving back to his apartment.
