This time when Dean blinked awake, he didn't have a headache, he wasn't in a hospital or random bed and he didn't have any memory loss.

Dean knew exactly what was going on and how he ended up getting knocked out and thrown into alternative universes.

"So Tricksters back to his tricks huh?" Dean called out, sitting up slowly and looking the abandoned building. Sam and Dean had been tracking weird happenings in the area. They were both lead to two different places. Dean had been knocked out the moment he stepped inside this building, waking up with Cas sleeping on top of him and having to recollection of what happened.

A laugh filled up the space before Gabriel appeared before Dean. "Hello Dean."

Dean wished he had an angel blade with him at that moment to wipe the smirk right off of the angel's face.

"So what was the lesson this time you dick?" Dean growled.

Gabriel shook his finger at Dean. "Now now, no need to be so hostile."

"Seriously, cut the shit."

Gabriel sighed a huge sigh. "Fine, but you should really learn how to not ruin all the fun."

Dean just stared at him, his fist shaking at his sides.

"The way I see it buddy boy is you got two choices. Option One: Live the apple pie you've always wanted with dear ol' Castiel. Option Two: Instead be miserable while Sam lives the happily ever after you've always wanted. Sure him and Castiel would never end up together, but Castiel will find someone else and Sam will also have a life, one that doesn't involve hunting with you."

"So hunt or be happy?" I sneered. "That's why when I went on that hunt you sent me into another alternative universe and then when I hunted again you what? Gave up on teaching me a lesson and sent me back to reality?"

"Ding, ding, ding! Give the man a prize!" Gabriel exclaimed, smirking. "Look Deano, I like you. It's why I picked you to, well, pick on while I was bored. All I wanted was to hit you with a dose of reality. You could have option A or option B. Which will it be? Hm?" The angel was seriously starting to tick Dean off.

None of it had been real. Sex with Cas. Cas looking at him with love. Being married and spending the best year of his life with Cas. The torment the second time around when he woke up from his fake coma to find Sam and Cas married. It had felt like he spent a whole real year doing nothing but drowning in booze, women and men and in his own sorrow. All of it had been a lie.

"Well not quite all of it," Gabriel spoke up, having read Dean's thoughts. "Your feelings and actions were all your own. With Castiel you were happy. Without him you were miserable."

"Why do I have the feeling this isn't about me hunting at all and more about Cas?" Dean growled out.

He couldn't believe he was once again being played and mindfucked by an angel.

"And while you're at it, give me one good reason why I shouldn't gank your ass," Dean added.

Gabriel held his stomach as he laughed. "Bitch please!" He held up a hand. "Look, you may have forgotten, but Castiel is family and before I go off to enjoy a long life," Gabriel sneered at Dean. "I would like to see him happy. And if you insist on being stubborn then I'll make you live Part Two of your little coma over and over until you realize you were meant to be with him."

"That is quite enough Gabe," a deep voice interrupted them.

Dean knew it was Cas by the way his heartbeat spiked the moment he heard Castiel's voice.


This of course isn't the last chapter, the next one is, this was supposed to be, but I only got around to writing part of it and I didn't want to keep anyone waiting for this part. Honestly this story was supposed to just be a whole lot of smut so sorry if this was disappointing as I tried giving it a plot. Next chapter will mostly be smut.
