Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.
Dean sat at his desk doing his least favourite thing. Paperwork. He was going through the invoices from a new supplier he had started using when something on the paper caught his eye. It was the name of the owner of the company. One Gabriel Novak. Hmm, Novak, can't be that common a name and so, more because he really didn't want to do the paperwork and anything would be preferable and as such it would be a great form of procrastination, he googled the name. What came up surprised him somewhat (and by somewhat I mean had he been standing he would have had to sit down, as it was he nearly fell of his chair). Because when he googled that name pictures came with the information that the man was a multimillionaire with a list of companies as long as his arm, and those pictures were of the golden eyed man from the flight place. What the hell? If he was this guy then why on earth was he running the flight company? I mean surely he could afford someone else to do that. And some more furniture Dean added as he remembered the spartan office.
Reading on, cos now he was actually interested in what was going on at that place, he discovered that Gabriel had a really hot long term girlfriend who ran her own multimillion dollar business and that he was currently on a sabbatical. Hmm, why take a sabbatical to start up a shitty little flight company with his brother? Well it looked like Dean would have a lot of questions for this Gabriel at his next lesson.
Gabriel was sitting at his desk spining in his chair as he thought. He loved his brother, he really did, and he wanted him to be happy. But Castiel had gone from high school straight to the air force and flying and had as such never (to Gabriel's knowledge at least) had a relationship with anything other than his planes. And Gabriel felt it was a bout time that changed (and not just because Gabriel thought that if Castiel was in a happy relationship he might just be a bit nicer to their clients). He had, in the back of his mind, been trying to think of someone he could set Cassie up with for a while, but all attempts he had made had failed miserably as Castiel seemed to just sleep with the guys and then never contact them again. There was no way his brother could even consider having a relationship with someone if he wasn't going to give them time to get to know him. But now here was Dean-o. In Gabriel's mind he could well be just what Cassie needed, but how to make sure that Castiel actually got to know the guy, and had time to let actual feelings develop between the two of them? That was the question he was currently trying to find the answer to.
Dean walked through the door to the office of Heavenly Wings Flight Training Company wondering just why the hell he had agreed to come back here. I mean why did he book this damn lesson? Then of course there was the other question of why, when he realised that this was a seriously bad idea, he didn't just phone to cancel. Just what was his damn brain playing at now? But that was kinda beside the point now, what with him walking through the door and all.
"I'll be with you in a minute." Came the voice from under the desk that he recognised as Gabriel's, what he was doing under the desk was a mystery and as such Dean just had to walk up and find out.
"Hello Gabriel." He said to the man who was crouched on the floor.
At the sound of his voice Gabriel looked up holding a pen in his hands as he smiled up at one of their very few remaining clients. "Hello Dean-o. so you do know my name." He replied as he stood and moved to sit back in his chair gesturing for Dean to do the same on the other side of the desk.
"I know a lot more than that." Dean said smirking as he sat down.
"Really?" Gabriel asked with the raise of his eyebrow waiting for Dean to reveal just what he had discovered, and how.
"Oh yes. What I don't know is what a guy with your…assets is here, doing this." Dean said waving his hand around vaguely hoping Gabriel understood.
Which of course he did. Gabriel was nothing if not extremely quick thinking. Which explained his answer to Dean's not really asked question.
"Why are you here, doing this Dean-o? Cos we both know you hate flying." He asked linking his hands together and resting his chin on top of them.
"For my brother." Dean replied with a shrug. It was no secret he guessed.
"Ditto." Gabriel replied smiling and leaning froward on his desk.
"So now I know all your secrets." Dean said with a smirk as he copied Gabriel's position and also lent on the desk.
"Not all of them." Gabriel replied lowly, he had just heard the creak of the door as if it was opened a crack and he knew that Castiel was spying on him and Dean. What he didn't know was why, but it did give him an idea of how to get Cassie and Dean-o to become friends. And so with a twinkle in his eye and a sensual smile on his lips he moved his left hand so that his finger was gently stroking the back of Deans hand and with his right he scribbled something on a pad. All the time his eyes never left the eyes of the man opposite him.
Dean watched Gabriel move his finger to stroke his hand and his eyes went wide. What the actual hell? He would put money on the fact that this guy really did not swing that way, so why was he acting as if he was flirting with Dean? Before he could open his mouth and demand to know what Gabriel thought he was doing he also heard the creak from behind him and he realised that this conversation was less private than he thought it was. After a quick evaluation of the pros and cons he closed his mouth once more. If Castiel thought that he liked Gabriel then he would not realise that it was him that he liked and as such his secret would be safe. He really didn't want Castiel to know about his infatuation with the guy. I mean that would just make everything so god damn awkward.
"But I'll happily share some of them with you, maybe over a drink sometime?" Gabriel asked flirtatiously while simultaneously moving the pad so the Dean could read what he had written and gesturing with his eyes for him to take a look.
Which of course Dean did. It was a simple message.
Follow my lead, trust me.
And so against his nature Dean did just that.
"Yeah that sounds good, tomorrow night work?" Dean managed to squeak out. Just what was he doing?
"Tomorrow will work brilliantly Dean-o." Gabriel replied with his best come to bed smile on his face. Damn he should get an Oscar for this performance.
Before Dean could reply there was a cough behind them making Dean jump and turn round while Gabriel just sat back and smirked at Castiel who was now leaning against the door frame glaring at Gabriel as if he could smite him with just a look.
"When you to have quite finished I believe Mr Winchester has a lesson with me." Castiel said his voice dripping sarcasm.
"Um yeah." Dean replied standing eye darting round the room, not settling on any one thing making him look extremely guilty. With that Castiel humped and turned and marched out of the office with Dean following meekly.
Once they had left Gabriel leaned back in his chair and put his feet up on his desk grinning manically. Castiel would have to get to know Dean-o now. And he wouldn't touch the guy if he thought that he was dating Gabriel. Yes, a goods days work so far, he just hoped that Dean wouldn't let the cat out of the bag once those two got into the air.
