"Gabriel I'm curious, why does Castiel still believe in God?" Dean dried his hair in the kitchen above there were occasional thumps of Castiel venting out his anger on whatever was in his path. Gabriel sat down winces when a curse and crash filled the house. "Wow he's pissed before you speak to him you might want to let him calm down." Dean half smiled as it went silent as Gabriel gave him his full attention. "You know I wonder that sometimes as well Dean, I think it has something to do with when he had nothing for comfort he sought out God." Dean could openly admit he didn't believe in the Guy in the sky and he could tell Gabriel had little faith in Him as well. "Right so your Dad beat the living crap out of Cas and he would pray?" Gabriel nodded his eyes glued to the ceiling. "Every night but he thought if he prayed enough God would hear him."
"Sound like a load of crap."
"For us maybe Dean but when someone doesn't have much their Faith gives them hope. And believe me my Little Brother has a strong Faith but is also the paranoid type." He picked at the table taking some of the paint off with his nail. "When you two were… systematically avoiding each other, Cas spent a lot of time at the local Church. He doesn't know but that Priest there is a very open-minded guy and kept me in a loop of what they spoke about. It really does still surprise me how little I really know about my Brother." Dean opened his mouth to reply but he realised that even though Castiel and Gabriel had a strong bond probably stronger than his and Sammy's. There was still so much either of them did not know about each other. "Yeah surprising right? I mean I have no idea how he survived all those years in Pontiac and it took me asking him straight out about his feelings for you. Last thing a Big Brother expects is his Little Brother to say he's fallen for a guy. And that that guy is the one person he trusts enough to bare his soul too." Gabriel leaned down picking up Jimmy who had been curling himself around Gabriel's legs. "You might not realise Dean but you truly are a special person. I can't think of anyone other than me who cares about Cas like you do. You two share a more profound bond than I ever will."
"Profound bond? Don't you think that's exaggerating a little?" Gabriel shook his head a small smile on his lips. "Nope, it's as accurate as it comes why do you think Cas got so angry?"
"You lost me."
Gabriel rolled his eyes. "He's dealing with feelings and emotions he's never experienced before and I bet the anger side has something to do with you and Jo."
"But that wasn't what it looked like." Gabriel shrugged. "It probably didn't help that you said you wouldn't even be here if this Lisa girl had not involved herself." Dean rubbed his neck when he realised Gabriel had a point. "But I think you're lucky she did involve herself because who knows what could have happened to Cas," he put Jimmy on the table while creeping quietly upstairs for a moment before returning. "I think he's calmed down enough, why don't you go try speak to him."
As Dean made his way upstairs, Gabriel grabbed his coat closing the door so not disrupt anything. He walked down the street towards the Winchester House. He knocked on the door as Sam pulled it open. "Did it work?" Sam looked at Gabriel waiting for the answer. "That it did, although I might need to replace so furniture but let's hope it was worth it. The things we do for family right?" Sam smiled laughed and grinned broadly. "They'll thank us in the long run," Sam glanced down the dark street for a moment. "Do you think they'll do anything?" Gabriel repressed his laughter. "Probably, might check into a hotel for the night so I don't kill the mood. Well have a good night Sammy." He turned to leave but was pulled back. "You can crash here tonight if you want… Dad's out on business and it's pretty lonely here by myself." Sam blushed a little. Gabriel had been instantly smitten with Sam when they had started to devise the plan to bring Dean and Castiel together. "Got any decent movies?" Sam's eyes lit up. "Of course! And loads of junk food and stuff!"
"That's an offer not even I can't resist Sammy."
Dean sat outside Castiel's bedroom door he had heard Gabriel leave as he lifted his hand to knock for the tenth time. He leaned his head on the door trying to listen into any potential movement. "Dean I know you are there, go away."
"No Cas if I have to sit here all night and explain I will."
He heard the sound of Cas moving on his bed he could almost guess a pillow would have found it's way in Castiel's grip.
Castiel gripped his pillow tightly hiding his face as tears fell down his face. "Cas I'll admit I didn't handle the love thing as well as I could've." He snorted into his pillow as Dean continued. "But believe me, I've never felt like this. I'm used to being able to control everything I feel and when you told me that… it turned my world upside down. Actually that happened when I first met you." His heart literally felt like it skipped a beat. "When you saw me with Jo… I had to speak to someone about everything can you imagine me going to Bobby and telling him I've basically fallen for a dude?" Castiel chewed on his lip as he silently agreed that Dean had a point. "Okay. What I'm trying to say Cas is that I'm sorry and I-I love you."
