Hello again my dears. Here we are another chapter, enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.
Castiel stayed out for as long as he could and even when he landed his angel he took an inordinate amount of time cleaning her down so she would be ready for his next flight. He knew that when he did go back to the office Gabriel would chew him out for losing them yet another client. And yes okay, he may have over reacted when he flew off leaving Dean to dive out of the way of the wings. But he was pissed, hell he still was pissed. He hoped that jumped up prick had left and wasn't still hanging round the office trying to flirt with Gabriel.
Finally having done everything he possibly could to put it off, he returned to the office. Walking through the door the first thing he noticed was that Gabriel was alone thank god. With that thought he threw himself into the chair opposite his brother ready to be lectured at.
"Bit extreme trying to run him over don't you think?" Gabriel said not looking up from the paper work his was going through. Once he had finished the page he was working on he put his pen down and did look up at his brother then. "You could have dented angel." He said in a humorous voice.
"What, that's it?" Castiel asked in disbelief. Where was the ranting and the disappointed looks.
"Yes. Considering Dean-o has booked another lesson despite that, yes I think that just about covers it." Gabriel replied leaning back in his chair watching his brother.
"Yeah well he probably only did that so he could see you again." Castiel grumbled not sure how he felt knowing that he would be seeing Dean again. Gabriel would probably make him apologise or something.
"Ah yes. The staring. He is extremely attractive don't you think? Hmm maybe I should ask him out for a drink, what do ya reckon?" Gabriel asked trying really hard to keep a straight face at the flash of annoyance that crossed his brother's face at his words.
"You're straight Gabriel." Castiel replied evenly. He had no idea what his brother was up to now.
"There's an exception to every rule Castiel." Gabriel said with complete sincerity on his face, even if he was lying out of his ass. He was a damn good actor when needed.
"And you have a girlfriend." Castiel continued as if Gabriel hadn't spoken.
At that Gabriel chuckled. Yes he did have a long term girlfriend, not that Castiel had ever met her. Hmm, maybe he could - at that his eyes twinkled as he turned to his brother again.
Castiel was watching Gabriel chuckle and crossed his arms he didn't see what was so funny about this. But it was when Gabriel turned to him with twinkling eyes he knew he was in deep shit.
"And how do you know that Cassie?" Gabriel asked smirking at him.
"You told me." Castiel stated with narrow eyes. Just what was his brother getting at now?
"But how do you know I wasn't lying? I could be as free and single as you." Gabriel said with a wave of his hand. He wasn't but he could be.
"Even if you were you're still straight." Castiel argued back though he didn't know why he was bothering, what was it to him what his brother did? Or who he did for that matter?
"Hmm, maybe Dean-o could change my mind?" Gabriel said contemplatively. He found it so hard not to burst out laughing at his brothers glowering face, he wondered if Castiel really was as dense as he was pretending to be. Surely he was aware that he was attracted to Dean-o.
"Do whatever you want I'm not going to stop you, but piece of advice don't date someone just to piss off you brother. Not that it would piss me off." Castiel replied gruffly. It wouldn't piss him off if Gabriel dated Dean, not really. Yeah okay it might get a bit annoying to watch them around the office and - but it didn't matter, it was all academic anyway, Gabriel was straight.
"Liar. Your pissed that he likes me more than you." Gabriel responded smirking at Castiel. Wow this really was fun.
"No I'm not. Why would I care about who Dean Winchester likes?" Was Castiel's snarky response to that.
"That's the question isn't?" and with that Gabriel went back to his paper work while Castiel sat there frowning trying to work out just what the hell Gabriel was trying to get at. And what the hell was going on in his own mind. Which let's be honest wasn't something he spent much time doing. Personal reflection was not one of his strong points.
Sam went round to the Winchester auto-body shop that afternoon on the surface to go see how his brother was doing, though in truth he went to see if 1. His brother had actually gone to his flying lesson and 2. How it had gone.
"Hey Dean." He shouted as he entered the garage but couldn't see his brother.
"Over here." Came a shout from underneath some red car. Sam wasn't very good at knowing what was what when it came to motors. As long as they got him from A to B he didn't really care much.
Walking over he arrived just as Dean pushed himself out.
"Hey what's up?" Dean asked Sam casually as he got up. Oh he was pretty sure he knew exactly why his brother was here. But he would make him work for it before he told him how his stupid idea could have got him killed. Without even leaving the ground.
"I came to see if you went to your lesson this morning." Sam replied he was not going to beat around the bush, they both knew why he was here.
"I went." Was all Dean responded.
"And? Come on Dean what happened?" Sam asked. His brother was behaving rather oddly, well even more oddly than normal that is.
"Well let's see, I made a complete idiot of myself, I insulted the instructor's plane and he then tried to run me over with said plane." Dean answered counting the things off on his hand. He didn't mention that fact that he had a massive crush on said instructor. There were just some things Sammy did not need to know.
"What the hell Dean?" Sam asked completely thrown by Dean's list. Just what in the name of heaven had Dean done now?
"Hey don't go blaming me they are freakin' crazy man." Dean defended himself with. And they were, well at least Castiel was definitely certifiable.
"So I take it you're not going again." Sam's response was resigned. He had tried and failed. Damn it, he needed to make sure he could get Dean in a plane before his wedding.
"Well I might have booked another lesson for next week." Dean mumbled as he quickly turned around and walked away to his office not looking Sam in the eyes. It wasn't his fault that he was going again, the golden eyed guy could be kinda persuasive.
"Really? You are voluntarily going back in a plane?" Sam asked following him. What was he missing here?
"Well I kinda never got as far as getting into the plane this morning." Dean replied turning to look at him with a frown as if he had only just realised that fact for himself.
"Okay just, just start from the beginning." Sam said he couldn't take this story in dibbles and unconnected sentences anymore. He needed Dean to lay it out for him.
And so Dean did. He explained about his meeting with Castiel and yes he may have waxed a little too lyrically about the guy's gorgeous black hair and beautiful blue eyes, and that deep, gravelly voice. And yes okay the only thing he might have said about the other guy (whose name he didn't actually know he realised) was that he had gold eyes, but it meant nothing, not to Dean.
To Sam on the other hand it told him all he needed to know. His brother had the hots for his flight instructor and that was the one and only reason Dean was going back again. Well Sam would take any advantage he could if it got Dean into a plane. He just hoped that this Castiel didn't hurt his emotionally constipated brother in the process.
