"I have to go, Sam. I will be back tomorrow." Gabriel quietly muttered, his hand on Sam's thigh, again.
Sam's face fell, hoping for another kiss, this time a longer one. His eyes dropped down to his fidgeting hands in his lap.
Gabriel caressed Sam's cheek with his warm fingertips.
"Sam. I will be back." Sam studied Gabriel, anticipation in his eyes.
With a compassionate kiss on Sam's forehead, the Archangel was gone. For the first time, Sam felt morbidly alone.
Taking off his shoes and pants, he climbed underneath the soft, warm covers and fell quickly asleep.
Sam stirred and groaned, opening his eyes. He noticed Dean was sound asleep and snoring in the bed next to his. He was apprehensive to face his brother after what he walked in on last night. It was sure to be awkward for the both of them.
Sam decided to grab a shower while Dean slept, hoping to avoid him for the time being. Also, in case Gabriel happened to pop in, like he promised he didn't want to smell like a sweaty Neanderthal.
After his shower, Sam slipped into his boxers and attempted to dry off his soaking wet hair.
He heard Dean stir in the next room. Sam's stomach dropped. He took a deep breath and opened the door that led to the other room. Dean's eyes met Sam's as he slipped into his army boots.
"Hey... Dean." Sam anxiously began.
"Hey, Sam." Dean smiled, casually.
"Listen, about you and Gabriel," He started. Sam gulped, this is what he had been waiting for.
This is gonna be awkward. Thought Sam, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink. He looked down at his lap.
"I'm happy for you two." Sam's head snapped up because of his surprising response.
"Thanks, bro." Dean furrowed his brow, pondering.
"So, when did you realize you had feelings for him?" Questioned Dean. Sam cleared his throat roughly.
"For a while now, I've just been remarkably confused about my feelings. As you know, I've never done or even thought about this kind of thing before... You really are okay with it?" Sam asked.
Dean nodded, a smile forming at the corners of his lips.
"Sammy, if you're happy, I'm happy and that's all that matters to me." Sam smiled with great relief.
