Standing at the motels doorway Dean glared angrily at the woman in the bed. He had finally forced his brother to leave the room and go for a run or whatever it was he had decided to do. The point was he had left the motel for the first time in four days.

In the back of his mind the hunter knew that it wasn't Gabriel's fault. Well, at least it wasn't truly his fault. The way Sam reacted to him was nothing short of... A lover. He had known it during the first case and this just proved that he'd been right.

Not that Dean ever thought that hard about it, especially since the blond died. There wasn't a way to come back from an archangels blade. Whatever it was that was going on between Sam and Gabriel should have ended with his death, but of course it didn't.

The hunter could see the sadness in his brothers eyes whenever he stopped to think. It was the exact same look he had after Jessica had died. Almost as if a part of him had died along with them and there was nothing that Dean hated more.

He had tried so hard to keep his little brother safe, but there was nothing he could do when it came to feelings. Demons and bullies and so much more and Dean was perfectly okay, but there was nothing he could do about emotions and he had tried.

The kid wore his heart on his sleeve though. Both Dean and John had tried to teach him better. They tried to show him how dangerous it was to let his emotions run him in their line of work, but, as with everything else, it went in one ear and out the other.

There were more tims than he cared to admit that he wanted to take Sam away from the hunter life when they were younger. If only to keep his heart safe. Though that would have just left the younger man vulnerable to everything that went bump in the night.

It was not something that Dean liked to think about, but one that he was reminded of everyday. He just wanted his brother safe. Was that too much to ask for? Just a little time where he wasn't concerned with the world falling apart around the younger man.

No matter how hard he tried though that never happened. It was almost as if both of them were cursed to live their lives watching the world they tried so hard to keep safe destroy them slowly, but surely.

"Dean?" Cas questioned resting a hand on the other mans shoulder.

"We need to talk," Dean growled turning to glare at the angel.

The blue eyes squinted in confusion but nodded anyway allowing the hunter to drag him out of the motel room. The men moved to the window so Dean could keep his promise to his brother to keep his eyes on the blond. Not that the wanted to, but even all this time he wasn't immune to the 'puppy' eyes.

"Tell me about them," Dean demanded.

"Tell you about who?" Cas questioned still confused by what was going on.

"Sam and Gabriel. You know something about them."

"Dean, I don't..."

"You've seen the way Sam is acting. Do you really want to do this now?"

The angel looked through the window at the archangel before sighing. When he looked back there was a sadness in his eyes that Dean hated. Something much larger was going on then the hunter had thought. It also made the man want to stop the conversation before it started.

"I once told you that I have been watching you for many years," Cas finally spoke looking back at Dean.

"Yeah," the green eyed man nodded his head not liking where he was going.

"Gabriel was the one that watched Sam. Only..."

Cas looked away for a moment as if the was trying to gather his thoughts. By the time he looked back at Dean the older mans stomach was churning as his mind ran through all the different things that could have happened. There was no way he would like what was said next.

"Gabriel has always been curious about humanity," the angel said softly, "It was something that concerned many angels. They thought that he was going to leave and they wanted to stop it before it started."

"This isn't going to end well, is it?" Dean asked running a hand through his hair.

"They attempted to stop him from leaving Heaven completely. There was one problem though."

"What?"

"Gabriel had begun to visit one of his charges. He never talked with him or allowed the man to even see him, but he'd spend all the time he could following the man. Simply watching him live his life."

Dean stared through the window at the archangel as Castiel spoke. It was as if the angel was telling him a cheap romance story that people spent too much money on. Only he knew that the man didn't even realize just how cheesy he sounded as he spoke.

"Cas," Dean cocked his eyebrow, "Please tell me that you're not about to say that this person Gabriel was following was Sam."

"It was not Sam," Castiel answered instantly.

"But...?"

"It was a version of Sam. Someone that Sam was many years ago."

"What? Like reincarnation?"

"It is...Similar to that. Every soul has something it must accomplish in its time before its allowed to go to Heaven. It very rarely takes only one life time to complete this task so the soul continues on until they succeed or something interferes."

"Like angels and demons."

"Yes, angels do our best not to do anything to change the future of their charges. We are never supposed to get too close."

"Gabriel got too close to Sam's soul."

"He did."

Shaking his head Dean turned away and took a deep breath. Nothing good would come if he turned around and punched something. Especially since the person that he wanted to hit was in a coma. What he wouldn't give to smack some sense into the archangel.

"Dean," Cas tried to start.

"Don't," the hunter cut him off.

The blue eyed man nodded his head knowing by now that pushing Dean when it came to his brother didn't end well. It was something that drew him into helping the two hunters. It was also something that had the angel questioning the world that he had thought he knew.

"I need you to tell me the truth," Dean spoke after a moment.

"I have told you the truth," Castiel responded confused.

"I meant... Nevermind. This thing between Sam and Gabriel how...How much is in Gabriel's head?"

"I don't understand."

"Does Sam feel the same connection Gabriel feels?"

"That question can only be answered by Sam, but if the rumors are true than Sam did return his feelings."

Cas watched his friend pace in front of the motel room getting more agitated as he moved. It was clear to see that the more the hunter thought about the more he hated the archangel. Though Castiel couldn't figure out why he was as angry as he was.

"I don't..." Dean tried to start only to hear the Impala pull up.

Taking a deep breath the older man looked over at his brother noticing how he looked. Even being out of the motel did nothing to change the look of the world completely crushing him. Of course he did Sam was too much of a good guy. Too damn caring to people who didn't deserve it.

"Hey," Sam said his eyes darting between the men, "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah," Dean liked with a smile, "Perfectly fine."
