Chapter 6

Dean and Cas were surprised when they appeared in a white room. There was nothing in the room, except them and Gabriel. A Gabriel who didn't seem very happy to see them there. They looked around them then to the archangel who had crossed his arms.

"Where are we ?" Dean asked Castiel. The latter shook his head to show he didn't know the asnwer. Gabriel snorted.

"Before following me, you should have known where I was going to. Besides I don't like the fact you clung to me to follow me."

"You know where Sam is so tell us now !" the hunter ordered. Gabriel raised an eyebrown, as to say 'you dare to give an order at an archangel ?'.

"Why would I tell you ? So that you can hurt him once more ? No, sorry, it's not possible. Not when I'm here." Castiel frowned.

"We don't wish to hurt Sam, Gabriel."

"And yet that's what you did !" Castiel tilted his head, like a puppy who didn't understand what someone told him.

"We didn't do anything that would have hurt Sam. I don't understand why you accuse us of such things even though it's not true. Your accusations are misplaced, brother."

Gabriel clenched his fists, the angry obvious in his eyes. Why did they admit what they had done ? Why did they refuse to admit they had hurt Sam ? Because from how Sam was when he had found him, it was enough obvious. The hunter wouldn't have been like that if nothing had happened.

Seeing the archangel didn't answer, Dean spoke. Even if he didn't like to admit it, he knew Gabriel was the only one who could bring him to Sam.

"Listen, I don't know what we did or said for you believe that but I just want to talk with Sam." Gabriel looked at the older Winchester. He didn't really like him and didn't really trust him. Since when did Dean just want to talk ? He knew very well that the latter wasn't the kind guy to talk and to have 'chick-flick moments' as he called them. So why did he want to do it now ? For him, that didn't make any sense.

At his brother's expression, Castiel knew Gabriel wouldn't grant Dean's request. So he decided to speak in hope to persuade him.

"Brother, we don't want to hurt Sam, we just want to talk with him. Dean has very important things to tell him." Gabriel snorted.

"It's funny because at the time whem I tell him Sam is with me, then he has very important things to tell him." He looked at Dean then. "I watched you for a long time, Dean, and I know for your relation with Sam. But even like lovers, you're not very emotional. Your "I love yous" are rare and you don't often show your love for him. So, tell me why you would like to talk to him now whereas you even aren't capable to tell your lover "I love you" sometimes."

"I don't have to justify myself to an archangel who allows himself to poke his nose in other people's business. And then I don't need to say "I love you" so that Sam knows what I feel for him."

"You don't know very well your brother as you claim if you say that." Dean sighed frustrated. All what he wanted it was to talk with Sam and not with an archangel who pokes his nose in other people's business.

"And you think you know him better than me ?"

"I know him enough to say he doesn't want to see you for the moment, let alone talk with you. So just give up."

"Never ! I came here to talk with him and I won't leave before having done it." Gabriel stared to Dean for a long moment before smiling. It was a smile typically worn by the Trickster.

"Fine. If you want to speak with him, you should try to find him. Good luck." The archangel snapped his fingers and disappeared, leaving Castiel and Dean alone in the white room. Suddenly, everything changed.
