Hi! I just want to say sorry in advance if this chapter has particularly bad grammar, I probably could have looked it over better before posting, bit I wanted to get it put up!
Sam turned the steering wheel and the van pulled into a small parking lot that was mostly empty. A large sign was standing up from the cement that read 'Sandstone Motel' and underneath was another that read 'vacancy'. It was 5 o'clock, and the sun was still midway up into the sky, but the letters were glowing a dull blue.
"This place definitely looks 5 star" Gabriel veered sarcastically as he climbed out of the car. Sam didn't bother to respond, he pulled one of his many cell phones out of his pocket and hit a few buttons before pressing the device up to his ear. "I'll go check us in" Gabe offered. Sam nodded, and reached into his back pocket.
"Use this" he handed it to Gabriel and turned his attention back to the phone, which was still ringing. Three tones later Sam pressed the 'end call' button and stuffed the phone back into his pocket. He walked ahead into the motel to find Gabriel at the counter talking to a girl who only looked around 17. She raised a brow when she saw Sam walk in. Sam hung back waiting for Gabriel to come back with a room key.
"Alright Sammy, room 3 here we come!" He held up the old bronze key as if staying in room 3 was some kind of accomplishment.
Turns out room 3 was nothing special at all. A queen bed in the middle of the room, and a small TV sitting on an old wooden entertainment center, a bathroom was off to the side. Gabriel immediately headed towards the bed, which reminded Sam of something. "One bed Gabe?"
"Well it was either this or two twins, and I figured you wouldn't be very comfy in a twin bed considering your" he motioned to all of Sam "size".
"I've slept in many twin beds" Sam snapped. Gabriel looked down as if he was ashamed of himself.
"Sorry, I can go get a different room I just-"
"No it's fine" Sam sighed. "You really have a thing for cuddling don't you?" The archangel blushed. "Alright so what do you want to start with? Dinner or investigation?"
"Investigation!" Gabriel cheered.
"Alright" The hunted chuckled "you're going to have to put that suit on".
"A suit? What for?"
"Well we're FBI agents" Sam laughed "it's kind of part of the job description'.
"Are you sure it's necessary?" Gabe asked "I don't like wearing that thing."
Sam was about to respond when his phone started going off in his pocket, he pulled it out and answered promptly. "Dean?"
"Hey Sammy."
"What's up?"
"Just checking in, you called?"
"Yeah we're at a motel."
"Are you planning on doing anything related to the case tonight?"
"We're going to head to the police station in a few."
"Alright well call me if you need anything."
"Ok, bye Dean" Sam hung up the phone and set it down by the TV. "Now go put on your suit Gabe!"
The police didn't have much to say besides what they already knew, they managed to get into the morgue to view the body, but all they found was that their theory about it being a werewolf correct.
"There's not much to go on here" Gabriel said as they climbed back into the van.
"Yeah I know, but we still have to go to the vic's house. He had a wife."
"What does the wife have to do with anything?"
"She could know more than she was telling the police" Sam responded warily. It was 8 o'clock already and they still hadn't eaten. He pulled the van into the parking lot of the first fast food joint he saw and headed towards the drive thru.
"Hey did you see that?"
"What?"
Gabriel was looking out the window towards a clump of bushes. "I saw something!"
"It was probably just a rabbit" Sam determined, looking back towards the large menu in front of the car.
"It wasn't a rabbit" Gabe insisted.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Sam I seriously think somethings out there!"
"Nothing's out there!" The sound of the car door opening caused Sam to look over, Gabe was climbing out, headed towards the bushes.
"Get back here!" Sam hissed. A car had pulled up behind him and from the look the driver had on his face, he was not very patient. Gabriel didn't respond, instead he snuck even closer to the bushes, cautiously moving forward as if something was going to jump out at him. "You're being ridiculous!" Gabriel looked back towards the van, and then turned back to the bushes. They were tall, tall enough to hide a small person, which was probably Gabriel thought he saw something or someone in them.
Sam groaned and pulled the van over so he was out of line. He got of the car and headed over to the angel who was currently crouched over slightly, peering into the shrubs. "Gabriel if something was there it would have left already."
"I'm an angel Sam, I know when I see something. Now if you'll excuse me" He pushed forward into the bushes "I'm going to hunt down this thing."
"What?" Sam asked confusedly.
"It was the werewolf, Sam!"
"Gabe, come on let's go back to the car." Gabriel's gaze turned up towards the sky, where the full moon was glowing brightly,
"I'm going to find this thing!"
"You don't even have a weapon!" Gabriel responded to Sam's protest by pulling a silver knife out of a pocket inside his coat.
"Look Gabe there's nothing here. Watch" Sam pushed into the bushes and took a quick look around "see noth-" his words were cut of by a figure suddenly coming into view.
"Do you see something?"
"Ye- yeah" Sam reached back and Gabriel pressed the handle of knife into Sam's hand.
"I'll grab another one out of the trunk" the archangel assured. Sam was looking around quickly in every direction.
The werewolf came out of seemingly nowhere, he was small for a man, which explained why he was able to hide in the bushes. His fangs were bared and the glare on his face was menacing. Sam pulled his knife forward and the werewolf pounced at him. Even though the man was small, he was extremely strong, and Sam was on his back in the grass within seconds.
He managed to squeeze his arm in between himself and the werewolf, and was using all of his strength to spin the knife around so the blade was to the thing's throat. The werewolf noticed and ripped the knife out of his hand. Next thing he knew the thing collapsed on top of him.
"Sorry I took so long Sammy" Gabriel said as he pulled the body off of him. "There was so much stuff in that trunk I couldn't find a knife.
"Thanks Gabe" Sam panted as he sat up.
"Can we get food now?"
"Dean, don't you think it's a little late to be going to buy food?" Castiel watched in confusion as Dean slipped on his shoes and picked up the keys to the Impala from off the counter.
"It's never too late for a burger" Dean responded.
"Dean I wanted to talk about-"
"Yeah, yeah I know."
"Well can we talk about it then?"
"Yeah Cas I just- I don't know what to say about it. It was kind of an impulse thing."
"Was it a good impulse or a bad impulse?"
Dean bit his lip and looked down on the counter. "It was just an impulse, not good or bad."
Cas seemed to understand because he nodded thoughtfully. "Can I come with you to get food?"
Dean smiled "Sure Cas."
Gabriel used his foot to push open the door to the motel even though his hands were free. Sam was carrying a bag of fast food and two drinks. it was past 9 o'clock once they finally got back. Gabriel threw himself down on the bed and groaned "finally I can rest! Toss me my burger!"
Sam sighed, but complied, Gabriel must've still had some sort of super senses because he reached up and caught the food expertly without even looking. Sam took out his own food and sat down at a small desk to eat.
"So I guess we get to leave tomorrow right? Since we killed the werewolf?"
"Well yeah" Sam nodded "unless another one turns up."
"I hope that doesn't happen."
They ate in a comfortable silence, and after both of them were done, Gabriel let out a yawn that made it seem like he hadn't slept in days. "I think it's bedtime for me, kiddo" he stood up and pulled down the comforter and other blankets on the bed. "How many pillows do you want?"
Sam looked down on the bed and it dawned on him that they were going to be sleeping together. Not that he hadn't slept with Gabe before, but something about being in an actual bed made it feel different somehow. "Ok, yeah I will too, and one's fine" he decided, wandering towards the bathroom.
He came back to find Gabe curled up on the bed in a t-shirt and boxers, he looked down on his own old grey wife beater and plaid pajama pants and slid into the other side of the bed. He found himself face to face with the angel. Gabriel smiled, he couldn't help how happy Sam made him, even if he wasn't trying to.
Sam offered a small smile in return, and tried to find a position in the bed that was comfortable. It wasn't surprising when he found himself wrapped around Gabe like the archangel was an oversized teddy bear. Gabe fell asleep first, cuddling Sam's arm. Sam fell asleep minutes later, with his face pressed into Gabriel's neck.
