"Prom duty?" Gabriel groaned in the teacher's lounge in late April.
"What? You haven't chaperoned anything this year." Chuck lifted one corner of his mouth into a smirk.
"I know, but prom? A bunch of half-drunk kids hoping to get laid?" Chuck shrugged and took a sip of his coffee before walking away. Gabriel was pretty sure this was just punishment. Prom, it just so happened, fell on Sam's birthday this year. He and Gabriel were going to celebrate on Friday night, and then Sam would be escorting Jessica to the prom as friends. Originally, Sam had tried to convince Gabriel that he didn't want to go. That prom was just something kids did and that he didn't need a reason to dress up and go with some girl that he had no romantic interest in. Gabriel called bullshit and told him to ask Jessica just as friends. After a couple of fights about it, Sam agreed and Jessica was excited. Gabriel sighed before packing up his papers and going to his first class.
Halfway through the day, Gabriel glanced at his phone and saw that he had a missed call from California. He hoped, prayed, it was the apartment complex. He and Sam had applied nearly a month ago and hadn't heard anything back.
"Hello, this call for a Mr. Novak and/or Mr. Winchester? This is Ms. Giles from Buena Vista Apartments here in Palo Alto. I am calling to inform you that we received and processed your application and are happy to tell you that your apartment will be ready the first of August, as per your request!" The woman sounded like she was barely in her twenties. "We will be sending the lease to the email provided and would encourage you to read through it before coming here to sign on the aforementioned date or at most two business days before the first of August. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to call or email us! Thank you again!" Gabriel beamed. He was so excited he didn't want to wait to tell Sam, but Sam was sitting in his fourth period history class, almost time to go to lunch. Gabriel had lunch at the same time, so maybe he could just ask Sam to meet him in his office?
Gabriel nonchalantly walked in the halls near Sam's locker. He nodded at students and then he finally saw the floppy haired head of his boyfriend that stood nearly 3 inches above most of the student body.
"Mr. Novak, I didn't expect to see you here." Sam keeps his tone casual, but his eyes are sparkling with mischief.
"Sam, glad I ran into you. I was hoping you could come by my office during your lunch. I just had some questions about that interpretation of Owl Creek you turned in." Gabriel internally patted himself on the back. Yes, good teacher/student dialogue rolling. This was good.
"Oh." Sam looked genuinely surprised for a moment. "Yeah, sure. I have lunch now if that works for you?"
"Sure. Follow me." Sam followed Gabriel to his office, resisting the urge to grab Gabriel's hand that was swinging by his side. Once they were inside Gabriel's office, Sam clucked his tongue.
"My, Mr. Novak, couldn't even wait until the end of the day?" Sam sat in the chair in front of Gabriel's desk. Gabriel leaned against his desk, arms folded, and had a slight frown like a disappointed teacher from some sitcom. Sometimes it was fun to just mess with Sam. Sam looked taken aback for a moment.
"Wait, is this really about my Owl Creek essay? I thought I did a good job." His face fell so much and he pulled out his puppy eyes. Gabriel almost felt bad for the kid. He laughed, but Sam's face didn't change.
"No, your Owl Creek essay was actually very insightful. Sure you don't want to do something more…creative when you get older?" Sam finally smiled.
"Nah, I'm pretty sure being a lawyer is for me. Now, what's this about?"
"I got a call from Buena Vista today. The earliest we can be there is two business days before to sign the lease and move in." Sam smiled wider.
"We got approved?" Gabriel gave a quick nod before his arms were full with Sam. Sam placed a quick kiss to Gabriel's cheek before taking a step back. "That's amazing. I'll have to tell Dean when I get home tonight. He's going to be so happy for us." Gabriel gave Sam a disbelieving look. "Stop that, he will be. So will Cas."
"I just think they'll be happy that you're gone. I've heard rumors that Cassie wants to move in with Dean-o."
"By rumors do you mean you talked about it with Castiel last night?" Gabriel shrugged. Sam was working last night, so Gabriel had decided to go out for drinks with his brother. Something that in about three months' time wasn't going to be an easy task.
"Journalists never reveal their best sources." Sam knitted his eyebrows together.
"I'm not so sure about that."
"I am. So, we'll have much more to celebrate next Friday. Oh, and I'll actually be spending your real birthday with you too." Gabriel smiled, but Sam's eyebrows were still together.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, Sammoose, that I am going to be chaperoning your senior prom. So if you thought that you could sneak some kisses in with Jessica you are dead wrong." Sam's face slowly morphed from confusion into one of pure joy.
"I wouldn't be so worried about that as you attacking me. I mean, I'm going to be in a tux. I'll look damn good."
"You always look damn good." Sam gave Gabriel another quick kiss, this one on his lips. He pulled away but still stayed close.
"Good answer, now, I should probably get to lunch before people start asking where I am." Gabriel hummed.
"I suppose you're right. I'll see you in class."
"Of course." Sam leaned over one more time and pressed his lips to Gabriel's before leaving. Gabriel sighed and watched Sam leave and went to the teacher's lounge for his own lunch.
"Happy birthday, Dear Sammy! Happy birthday to you!" Dean placed the caked in front of Sam and smiled widely on Friday night. Sam looked slightly embarrassed, even though it was just himself, Dean, Castiel, Bobby, and Gabriel. He was going to see his friends the following night, so tonight was just family. Dean had made Sam's favorite meal and had ordered some carrot cake, since it was Sam's favorite. Sam blew out the candles and everybody applauded.
"So, the big one-eight." Bobby slapped Sam on the shoulder. "Seems like not long ago I was with your mama and daddy up at the hospital." Bobby gave a sad smile. "Only time I'd seen your daddy that proud was when the other idjit was born."
"Hey!" Dean shot a look to Bobby as he pulled the candles out of the cake.
"Not that I don't love a family argument, but can we get to the cake please?" Gabriel piped up. Sam rolled his eyes, but smiled at his boyfriend. Dean gave everyone a piece of cake and then sat back down next to Castiel. There were a few moments of silence where everybody enjoyed their cake.
"So, Sammy, did you tell everybody about the tradition?" Sam and Bobby laughed.
"No, did you tell Castiel?"
"Tell us what?" Castiel and Gabriel spoke at the same time. Sam took a bite of cake and nodded at Dean, indicating to him that he could tell the Novaks.
"We started this tradition a few years ago. We can only watch movies that were released in the eighties. Last year we watched Vacation, what do you want to watch this year?"" Sam thought for a minute, even though he knew.
"Christine." Dean stared at his brother.
"Really?"
"Yeah, your worst nightmare. A car getting taken over by evil spirits." Sam smiled. He really wanted to watch it because he and Gabriel could actually cuddle without judgment. He knew that Gabriel wasn't the biggest fan of horror movies.
"That is not my worst nightmare." Dean rolled his eyes, but stood up and walked into the living room. He started getting the TV set up for the movie when Bobby stood.
"Well, as fun as it'd be seeing ya'll get scared by a car, I think it's time for me to head home. Boy," Bobby looked at Dean. "Don't be late tomorrow. And you," Bobby turned his gaze to Sam. "Just because you're eighteen doesn't mean that I won't slap you silly if you do something stupid." Sam nodded and stood up, giving Bobby a hug.
"Thanks, Uncle Bobby." Castiel leaned across the table to his brother.
"Um…is that something Sam should be thanking him for?" Gabriel shrugged.
"I think that's as close as they get to saying 'I love you'."
"Movie's almost ready!" Dean called. Bobby showed himself out with another wave and the four sat down. Dean and Castiel sat on the couch while Sam and Gabriel sat on the loveseat. These had unofficially become the couple's designated seats when all four of them were in the Winchester's apartment. Dean pressed play on the menu, and the movie began. Sam wrapped his arm around Gabriel and Gabriel rested his head on Sam's shoulder, already preparing to hide his face.
"Hands to yourselves over there."
"I should say the same thing to you." Gabriel smirked over at Dean. Dean rolled his eyes.
"Shut up and watch the movie."
The four watched the movie. Every time Sam felt Gabriel jump, he would pull him closer. By the end of the movie, Gabriel was practically in his lap. Castiel wasn't much better off. The only difference was that Dean would whisper to Castiel that he was okay.
"It's midnight, Sammy!" Dean announced when the movie was over.
"Yes, it is. So that means that I am officially eighteen, and as an eighteen-year-old, I am going to go over and spend the night at my boyfriend's house." Sam stood up and took Gabriel's hand.
"Whoa! What? Like hell you are!" Dean jumped up, almost knocking Castiel to the floor. Sam looked at his brother and smiled.
"Dean, I'm eighteen. I am legally an adult. I've been grounded for nearly my entire senior year. Please, let me have this." Dean opened his mouth to reply, but Sam cut him off. "Or I'll just go anyway. Up to you." Sam shrugged. Dean stared at Sam for a while, then sighed.
"Fine. I guess I can't really do anything about it since you're eighteen now." Dean practically spat the word eighteen. Gabriel thought it was kind of funny.
"So, Dean, I'll see you tomorrow." Sam pulled Gabriel to his feet and the two walked out of the apartment.
"So, you're officially an adult." Gabriel said casually when they got to his car.
"Yes, I am." Gabriel pinned Sam against the passenger side car door, grabbed a fist full of his shirt, and pulled him down so they were eyelevel with each other.
"Want to prove it?" Gabriel smirked.
In the hotel lobby, Gabriel was staring. Blatantly staring. If he got caught he could always say he was simply spacing off, not paying attention, but he was. He was staring at Sam. He'd seen Sam the night before with nothing on, but him dressed like this? Holy. Fucking. Hell. His tux and undershirt were white, with a rose red tie, matching Jessica's tie perfectly. If Gabriel didn't know any better, he'd think they were a beautiful couple. And no, Gabriel wasn't the tiniest bit jealous. Not even a little. Shut up.
They were at the end of the line to get into the dance. Gabriel was working the breathalyzer, talking to the students as they told him their plans for after post-prom (which was back at the school gym). Most of them were 'going home and resting, Mr. Novak. It's a long night', but Gabriel knew better. He had been in high school once. On prom night. Dear God, what had he let Sam agree to? He watched the foursome (Sam, Jessica, Kevin, and Channing) slowly creep their way up the line. Then they, of course, came through Gabriel's line.
"Hey, Mr. Novak!" Jessica said cheerily, holding on to Sam's arm. Sam gave him a small smile.
"Don't you all look wonderful?" Gabriel replied, trying (and failing) to keep his eyes off of Sam. They all made small talk while getting through everything. Sam was the last person to come to Gabriel.
"So how do I do this?"
"You suck, then blow." Gabriel watched Sam wrap his lips around the tube, never breaking eye contact with Gabriel and doing what he was told. Gabriel's throat suddenly felt tight. The machine beeped and Gabriel pulled it away from Sam with a quick shake of his head (mostly so that he could get the images out of his head from last night).
"A…alright! You guys are good! Have fun!" Sam smirked at Gabriel as if he could read his thoughts.
"Thanks, Mr. Novak." Sam whispered with a sultry voice. He even threw in a wink. Damn it. What the hell was Sam trying to do to him.
Once all the students were inside, Gabriel and the rest of the teachers followed. Gabriel kept his eyes on Sam nearly the entire night. He seemed to be enjoying himself. Whenever they locked eyes, Sam would smile or wink or give him a small wave, which Gabriel would return with just a smile. Gabriel kept thinking about getting Sam back to his apartment, and suddenly, he couldn't take it anymore. Near the end of the night, Gabriel looked over at Sam and nodded towards the bathroom. Gabriel excused himself from some of the other teachers and walked into the bathroom. He waited for Sam. Sam walked in and Gabriel quickly locked the door.
"Sorry, I know this is insanely risky and I should be able to contain myself, but fuck." Gabriel grabbed Sam by his tie and crushed their lips together. Sam kissed Gabriel back and pushed him back until they were against a wall. Sam ground his hips into Gabriel, earning him a moan from the shorter man. Gabriel bit at Sam's lip and
"You have no idea," Sam kissed and bit down Gabriel's neck as he spoke. "How much I've been waiting for you to come get me." Sam started undoing Gabriel's shirt until Gabriel gently pushed him off and pinned Sam to the wall.
"Ah ah, no. It's your birthday. I'm taking care of you." Gabriel gave Sam another kiss before dropping to his knees in front of Sam. He looked up to Sam and unbuttoned his pants.
"Gabriel, I really…"
"Sh…relax. And be quiet." Gabriel unzipped and slipped Sam's pants and boxers down. He took Sam's half hard cock in his hands. Sam bit his bottom lip, growing harder as Gabriel stroked him. When he was aching, Gabriel licked along the vein on the underside. Sam groaned.
"Now, Samuel, we can't get caught." Gabriel whispered before taking Sam into his mouth. Sam gasped and threw his head back against the wall. Gabriel took as much of Sam as he could and then began to gently swirl his tongue near the tip. Sam dug has fingers into Gabriel's hair and bit his lip harder.
"Gabe. Gabe. I…" Sam's breathing became more and more shallow. He was trying not to buck his hips into Gabriel's mouth. Sam groaned when he came in Gabriel's mouth. Gabriel let off Sam with a loud, wet pop. "Jesus, Gabe." Sam slid down the wall. Gabriel smiled.
"Happy birthday, baby. Now you better get out there before people start getting suspicious."
"I think I need a minute. And tonight, we need to switch." Sam gave a Gabriel a kiss before standing up and fixing himself.
"You got yourself a deal, Samsquatch." Gabriel stood up and grabbed Sam for one more kiss before sneaking out before Sam.
