It all went down the way Sam expected. John had freaked out "Why the fuck did you do it?! There's no way this was all on you! Tell me this Novak guy seduced you or threatened you or something!" Sam shook his head "This was all on me Dad... It was nothing serious! Just a little bit of cuddling, there was no kissing, nothing under the covers! Just harmless cuddling." he said. John sighed "This isn't serious?! Tell that to the principle! Two weeks out of school!" he shouted, he was tempted to strike Sam, he had his hand raised when Dean stepped in. "Dad.. calm down, just.. take his phone off him and ground him." he said. John lowered his hand and took a deep breath "Sam, phone on the table, and you're grounded until I say otherwise, go to your room" he said, a bit calmer than previous. Sam nodded and placed his phone on the table, heading up the stairs, "oh, and by the way, Dad, I'm gay." he muttered as he made his way to his room.
It wasn't until he was back at school that he even got to talk to Gabriel, or even Cas. It was on the way home from school when Sam met Gabriel. Gabriel was leaning against a wall in an alley, a lit cigarette in his hand. "Gabriel?" Sam said in disbelief. Gabriel looked over, "Hey kiddo, how's it going?" he asked. He looked scruffy, like he hadn't shaved in days, a week even, his normally bright eyes were dull and lifeless. "Gabe.. What the hell happened?" he asked. Gabriel just shrugged "When my folks found out what happened on the trip, they flipped.. kicked me out. Been staying with a friend since then, and I can't afford shit." Sam sighed and turned out his pockets, he still had his lunch money, $10. "It's not much, but, it'll help you a little." He said, handing it over to Gabriel. "Thanks Sammy.." He said with a soft smile. "You.. you want to meet up sometime like we used to? You're probably still grounded, but I can walk you home from school tomorrow?" he offered. Sam nodded "Yeah.. yeah, I'd like that." He smiled "see you then" he said, continuing his walk home.
Gabriel was waiting at the gate when Sam left school the next day. He looked a little better, no more scruff, eyes bright again and no more cigarette. Sam smiled brightly "That's better! You look more like you now." He commented as he hugged him. "Well you helped out, that $10 helped, got me razors and a toothbrush and toothpaste." He said, flashing his usual smirk. Sam took his hand "Come on, if I'm late home my dad will freak, he's still pissed about the trip, not to mention he knows I'm gay now.". "Sorry to hear that I got you in trouble" Gabriel said with sigh. Sam shook his head "it's fine, I mean, it was bound to happen at some point." He said.
It took all of 20 minutes to get to Sam's house, and Sam decided to take matters into his own hands, he leaned down and pulled Gabriel into a gentle kiss, "Thanks for walking me home." He smiled, before he walked into the house.
Gabriel was left stunned at the curb, a goofy smile on his face.
