Hello my darlings. I would like to thank ElleLisa22 and Little Cinch for the wonderful reviews. I would also like to thank all the people who have followed and favoured this since my last update.
So here we are, the next chapter I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.
Dean had been gone about half an hour before Castiel did as Gabriel had expected him to and stormed into the office. Rather than throwing himself into a chair as he normally would he moved so he was leaning on Gabriel's desk his face rather close to his brothers as he asked with a low growl "What's your game Gabriel?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Gabriel replied amicably sitting back and linking his hands calmly and smirking at his brothers reaction.
"Don't be an ass." Castiel snapped leaning back and crossing arms so he could glare at his brother once more.
"Well I suppose that is better than assbutt." Gabriel replied conversationally he was not going to rise to his brother, and it really was rather fun seeing Cassie this pissed. Or at least it was as long as the fists didn't start to fly.
"I'm being serious Gabriel." Castiel ground out through gritted teeth.
"So am I. What is it I have done that offends your delicate sensibilities so much this time?" Gabriel asked leaning forwards now. He really didn't want a black eye.
"You are playing with Dean." Castiel spat at him making Gabriel's eyebrow raise.
"Well now, that does bring images into one's mind does it not?" He smirked suggestively to Castiel.
"Gabriel. I want to know why you asked him out." His brother demanded slamming his hands down on the desk in front of Gabriel so there faces where practically touching.
But Gabriel was not going to be intimidated by his younger brother thank you very much.
"I'm pretty sure we've already had this conversation. I think he's hot." He stated clearly so there could be no mistaking his words.
"No you don't." Castiel growled at him.
"Excuse me? Since when could you read my mind?" Gabriel asked with that tone of voice of his that told Castiel he needed to be careful, that he was skating on thin ice right now, making Castiel lean back from the desk and give his brother some space. Gabriel was after all not someone you wanted to piss off, like ever. For all his laid back attitude Castiel was well aware that when angered Gabriel was vicious. Of course that didn't mean Castiel would stop with his questioning.
"You're straight so I ask again what the hell is your game? What's your angle this time? Cos I know you have one." Castiel demanded crossing his arms once more. He would get answers from his brother somehow.
"Really? Well you'll just have to watch and find out then won't you?" Gabriel smirked at him before dismissing his presence and going back to the paper work he had been doing before Castiel had come in.
"Or I could take Dean from you." Castiel threaten, though they both knew it was empty. If there was any chance that Gabriel did actually like Dean, Castiel would not interfere in that respect. He had too much honour to do that and they both knew it.
"Good luck with that." Was Gabriel's only response not looking up from his work.
"I hate you Gabriel Novak." Castiel snapped and Gabriel could almost feel his wish to stamp his foot at his brother's insolence at not doing as he wished him to do. It really did make Gabriel smile, god how he loved pissing his brother off on occasion, and by on occasion we all know he means most the time.
"Yes I'm sure you do right now, the question is Castiel, why do you hate me?" Gabriel asked looking up at Castiel with the raise of his eyebrow once more. At that Castiel could think of no reply because he really didn't understand why he cared about this so much, so instead of responded he stormed out of the office and back to the hanger. Five minutes later Gabriel heard the plane take off, at that point he leant back with a smirk on his face. Yes his plan was going very well.
Castiel stormed back out to his beloved plane and got in preparing her for take-off but he didn't start her for a good few minutes. He knew better than anyone to not fly when angry and as such he took the time to calm down. He had no idea what was going on in his head, why this Gabriel thing bugged him so much, oh academically and logically he knew he was bugged because it made no sense, and he didn't like it when things made no sense, but that didn't explain his emotional reaction to the news. The only reason he could come up with for that was the fact that he himself found Dean rather attractive as well. But even if he wasn't dating his brother Castiel knew nothing could happen between him and Dean. It would be a little awkward to say the least to have to keep seeing each other after a one night stand. No he preferred to never see his sexual conquests again thank you very much. Life was much simpler that way, so no he wouldn't have gone near Dean until the lessons had run the course at any rate. Of course now his brother was dating him he wouldn't go near him full stop. But…
Argh this was getting him nowhere. He needed to calm down and stop thinking about Dean Winchester and Gabriel Novak. With a deep breath Castiel did just that and calm enough he started his angel and flew away. As soon as the wheels lifted from the ground he felt the peace he always craved settle on him. Up here there were no worries, no difficult emotional crap. No, up here there was just him and his angel souring together as one. Everything made sense up here, everything was clear. And fly was as natural to him as breathing. Yes up here he could find his peace and clear his mind. And for the first time since returning Dean to the ground Castiel smiled as he flew, singing the words to 'Danger Zone' by Kenny Loggins under his breath and of key as he executed moves which would have left the most confident of fliers feeling queasy had they been accompanying him. Pushing his angel to her limits as he performed the intricate dance in the sky.
