AN: Well, I did promise more frequent chapter posts. Oh, and I am still freaking out over the season 10 trailer for SN. It is so awesome! JBTW, the restaurant mentioned in this chapter does exist and the food mentioned is truly amazing!

February 14th

Gabriel opens his eyes. Ah, mornings. There isn't much else like them. Aw, Sammy, you look so cute when you sleep. I wish I knew why you've been so cranky all week. Gabriel smiles as he looks at his partner. He leans over and gives him a quick kiss on his forehead.

Sam groans as he wakes up. He blinks and turns his head toward Gabriel. Sitting up, Sam rubs the sleep out of his eyes. He stretches and then suddenly doubles over in pain.

"Shit!" He exclaims as he puts a hand over his mouth.

He runs to the bathroom, all abilities forgotten, and makes it to the toilet with hardly a second to spare. He dry heaves into the toilet, until his eyes water, and then leans back shaking.

"What the fuck?" Gabriel says worriedly as he appears next to Sam. "Do you still want to go out for Valentine's Day?"

Ugh. Sam thinks. I really do NOT want to go out. I've been such an ass though. Gabe deserves a nice day. Sam takes a deep breath.

"Yeah, Gabe, we can go out," Sam says, trying to keep the exhaustion out of his voice.

As the day goes by, Sam struggles not to snap at Gabe. What has gotten into me? He thinks, as he sits next to Gabriel on the couch. They are leaving for the restaurant in about an hour. Sam shakes his head and a wave of vertigo hits him. He lays back against the couch and takes a deep breath. After a few seconds, his breathing returns to normal and the dizzy spell passes. Sam gets up and drags Gabe with him.

"Come one, we need to get ready," Sam says. He is finally beginning to feel excited for tonight. Even though it would really only take a second for him to get dressed. Sam still enjoys picking out an outfit more conventionally. The only difference being that when he opens his closet it hold at least fifty choices of whatever type of item he is planning on wearing.

At 6:30 pm, Gabe and Sam are ready to leave. The hold hands and Gabe snaps his fingers. They appear outside Wimpy & Dee's, a small restaurant in Pennsylvania, which Gabriel had found on his many travels over the years. Sam loves this dinner. He loves the fifties feel, but most of all he loves their hot apple dumpling dessert with ice cream. It is his absolute favorite dessert.

Sam and Gave walk through the chrome doors into the diner. They sit down and are ready to order their food. The waitress cannot hide her look of shock when Gabriel orders their special brownie ice cream dessert that is made to feed twelve people all for himself. Sam orders the apple dumpling. They sit and talk idly about their latest pranks as they wait for the food. Fifteen minutes later their food has arrived. Gabriel digs right into his meal, but Sam takes a bite and makes a face.

"Gabe? Something's wrong with my food!" Sam says, worry lacing his voice.

"What!" Gabe sits up sharply. He sends his Grace through the room looking for any hint of a supernatural threat. There really shouldn't be any. He and Sam are too powerful for just about any creature out there to try and hurt them. He is still surprised, however, when he senses that nothing is wrong.

Gabriel uses his fork to take a small portion of the food and examine it. Sending a little of his Grace directly to the food, Gabe checks for anything else that could be wrong.

"Sam, it's fine! It isn't spoiled and it isn't poisoned. What has gotten into you lately?"

Sam isn't sure. He knows he has been acting odd, he really has no idea why. Gabriel wakes his hand and the food bags itself. He gets up and walks over to the register. Paying quickly, he grabs his moose, they leave, and, as soon as they are shielded from view, they fly home.

As soon as they land, Sam sways. He feels the vertigo from early engulf him. The world spins and then goes black.

Gabriel barely has time to react. He snaps his fingers and conjures a mattress for Sam to fall onto. What the HELL is wrong with Sam? Gabe is shaking as he sits down next to Sam.

He brushes a hand over Sam's forehead. He freezes. No! This can't be real. This can't be happening. Seriously. Sam? What the fuck!? I can't lose you! Please, don't do this to me! Please! Sammy…

"Surround me, it's easy to fall apart completely/I feel you creeping up again in my head/It's over, no longer I feel it growing colder/I knew this day would come to end, so let this life begin/…/But I will go on until the end"
