It had already been ten days since Gabe had flown back home. Ten days since he had seen Sam. Ten days since he had kissed or touched his boyfriend. Four days until he could go back.
Gabriel missed his young Winchester and resolved to texting him at random hours of the day and night, which Sam always replied to within fifteen minutes. Today had been no different, except tonight Sam rang Gabe, instead of the other way around.
He had been packing away his DVD collection into a huge box, when his cell began to ring. Tripping over boxes to get to it, Gabe finally found it and saw Sam's name on the caller ID before promptly answering "Hello, this is Gabriel in the city of boxes, how may I help you?"
"You always make me laugh, Gabe, still packing then?" Sam responded chuckling.
"You know it, kiddo."
"Remind me when you're coming back again?"
"I leave in two days and will be there in four days, it will take us two days with the truck, I'm just glad I have friends in the removalist business."
"Okay." Sam sighed.
"Hey, I miss you too, Sammy, but don't worry, I'll be there soon, alright?"
"Yeah, I know…"
"Maybe I should text you twice as much?" Gabe suggested.
That made Sam laugh "If you text me any more than you already do, my phone will blow up."
"So I should text you less?"
"Hell no."
Sam and Gabriel both laughed, both feeling a little better. The constant texting, learning about each other and their lives had brought them closer and re-affirmed how they felt about each other. It reassured Gabriel that he was making the right decision and relieved Sam's mind that his choice was also the correct one.
"Well, I better go, Sammy, I've still got a fair bit to get done in the next two days, and there's this very attractive young guy that I must text continuously, lest he forget that I am crazy about him, and that I love him." Gabriel teased his boyfriend.
"Oh, well, sounds like you have your hands full then." Sam teased back.
"Mhmm, my hands full of you…I wish they were full of you." He replied suggestively.
"Four days and they can be, I think I should take a day off work…"
"Just one? You'll need at least three."
Sam chuckled then said "Okay, Gabe, I'll text you, have a good night."
"Yeah, you too, Sammy, love you."
"Love you, too."

Finally the day came for Gabe to move, he helped Lu and Balthazar, his two removalist friends, load their truck and they hit the road. Gabriel drove alone in his car, they stopped every few hours for a toilet and food break, and stayed at a motel overnight.
By three the next afternoon, the trio pulled up in front of Gabriel's new house and quickly began to unpack furniture and boxes. At four they got a visitor; Sam.
As the young Winchester got out of his car, Gabriel stood on his steps and grinned "Hey, kiddo, you miss me?"
Sam lent against his car "Not at all." He replied coolly, also grinning.
"Get up here and kiss me already." Gabe replied suddenly desperate to touch his boyfriend.
Pushing off his car, Sam made it to Gabe in seconds and crushed their mouths together, wrapping his arms around the older man's neck, and one hand in his hair. Sam soon gained access into the shorter man's mouth and they both groaned quietly as their tongues met.
From the doorway Lu wolf whistled and the pair broke apart, with Sam blushing.
"Lu, Balthazar, this is my boyfriend, Sam. Sam these are my friends, Lu and Balthazar, who helped me bring all my crap here." Gabe announced.
They shook hands "Nice to meet you." Said Balthazar in his British accent.
"Yeah, Gabe has been talking about you non-stop for the past two weeks." Lu added.
Sam blushed again "Only good things I hope."
"Of course, though we thought he was exaggerating about your height." Lu informed him.
"Well I told you it was true." Gabe defended.
"Yeah, so said Loki." Balthazar contributed.
"Loki?" Sam asked confused.
"Oh, in high school Gabriel was a big trickster, so we nicknamed him Loki after the god of mischief." Lu said.
"Well we didn't need to nickname you." Gabe laughed.
"He's got a point, babe." Balthazar pointed out.
"I didn't hear you complaining last night." Lu reminded him.
"Mmmm, no, you did not." Was the reply as Balthazar smirked.
"Alright, we better get everything inside before it gets dark." Gabriel said ending that line of conversation.
Everyone agreed and spent the next two hours moving furniture and boxes with room names to where Gabriel directed. Sam ordered them Chinese once everything was inside and they ate, the four of them sitting around Gabe's six seater table.
Luckily he had a spare double bed as Lu and Balthazar were staying for a couple of days, and they went to bed around nine that night, as it had been a long drive. Sam stayed as well, lying next to Gabriel, with the older man's head on his chest. Both of them were content and happy. Gabe knew this was the start of something that would change his life in all the best ways.
As he fell asleep against the rhythmic rise and fall of Sam's chest, Gabriel couldn't help but marvel at how fast Sam had won his heart and how amazing it felt to win, not only Sam's heart, but all of him. He truly had won the lottery.

Hey guys, soooo that was the last chapter of Winning Over Hearts. I'd like to thank you all for your support and reviews and reading it all the way through to the end. I really hope you enjoyed it, please let me know what you thought of the story, anything you liked in particular or something. I should probably mention that Lu was short for Lucifer, and I had to add them at the end, I am kind of obsessed with Balcifer at the moment thanks to L. Greene (she writes really good Superantural fics!) anyway, thanks for reading, much love xox
