For the first time since he had arrived, Gabe didn't see Sam at all for a whole day. Instead he forced himself to go house hunting as he was going home on Wednesday and needed to find somewhere to live here before he went. After four hours of fruitless searching, Gabriel, Dean and Cas finally pulled up at a place that Gabe liked immediately "This is it!" He exclaimed and got out of the car.
It was two stories high, slightly old looking and had a good sized yard. The house was situated on the outskirts of the town, which made it a ten minute drive to Sam's place. The trio walked up the driveway to the house and peered in the windows at the front, inspecting the inside, and then walking around the side to check out the back of the house. At the back of the house there was a bird bath and a garden bed with roses trying desperately to grow in the dry soil.
"Yep, this is perfect." Gabe announced to the couple.
"Dude, this looks like an old lady's house." Dean told him.
"Well I happen to like old things." He retorted.
"Oh. Okay. Rent will probably be expensive…" Dean thought out loud.
"I'm not renting it, Dean; I'm going to buy it."
Said man looked at him "What? Are you some kind of millionaire or something?"
Gabe laughed "No, I inherited some money from a relative, I offered to split it with Cassie but he said no."
Shock spread on Dean's face and he turned to Cas "Why'd you say no?"
"Because, it is Gabriel's and I don't need it, the only thing I buy is books or things for you." Cas answered then smirked "And Gabe needs it to feed his sugar addiction."
"Now I have a Sam addiction too." He joked. "Anyway, let's go get the wheels turning at the real estate."
They spent another few minutes checking out the house with Gabriel grinning before heading to the real estate, where Mr Crowley helped them seal the deal with the house.

Later that day when the three men returned home, Gabe waited for Sam to finish work then called to tell him the good news.
Sam answered on the third ring "Hey, Gabe."
"Heya, kiddo. Guess what?"
"What?"
"I bought a house today! I can move in after next Monday when everything will be finalised."
"Oh, wow! That's so awesome."
"Yep! So how was work?"
"It was okay, missed you being there though."
"Well maybe I can see you tonight?"
"Sorry, I promised my friend, Jess, that I would go see some chick flick with her."
"Aw, it's okay, go have fun and I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll see you then, bye, love you."
"Bye, Sammy, love you, too." Gabe hung up and made his way out to the living room where Dean and Cas were discussing wedding plans and ideas.
"Do you guys need any help with anything? Sammy's going out tonight so I'm all yours." He asked the couple and sat on the single couch.
"Uh, okay, well we need a date first I think…" Cas said a little unsure, he'd never been involved in a wedding, let alone planned one.
Gabe thought for a moment "Hmm, how about the day you guys met?"
"November fifth? Yeah, what do you think, Cas?" Dean turned to his fiancé, he thought it was fitting and had significance, he liked it.
Cas placed a kiss on his lips "I like it." He smiled.

The next day Gabriel went to the library and spent the day with Sam, asking him about his night with Jess and the chick flick he saw, just listening to his boyfriend talk.
"Gabe…I'm gonna miss you, how long til you can come back?" Sam said completely changing topics.
"It's just two weeks, Sammy, I'll miss you too, but I've got tons to do. I'll text you while you're working so you don't get too bored without me here bugging you."
Sam laughed "Well at least Cas will be back at work, so I'll have him to talk to."
"True, and I'll be back before you know it, for good." Gabriel assured him.
"Sorry I can't come to the airport with you tomorrow."
"Its okay, I'd never get on the plane if you were there, giving me those big puppy dog eyes."
"Okay, fair point."
They spent at least half an hour together after closing just kissing and cuddling before Sam finally took his boyfriend back to Dean and Cas'. Gabe kept saying "Just one more" and Sam would give him another kiss, neither of them wanting to leave the other, even if it was only two weeks.
Eventually Gabe tore himself away and went inside. He could smell something yummy coming from the kitchen and knew Cas must be cooking dinner. Gabriel had been right and when he came back out to the kitchen after changing, there was curry and rice on the table. The three men talked over dinner and for a couple of hours after that, until it started getting late and Gabe bid the couple goodnight.
He got into bed and laid there, thinking about each day he had spent there, wooing Sam and winning his heart, his decision to move here and Dean proposing to Cas. Everything had happened so fast, everything felt so right and he couldn't wait to start this new part of his life.
