Castiel spent the next day actively avoiding his brother. He still hadn't said a word to him. But 5.50 that evening found him marching in to the office only to find it empty. He knew his brother hadn't left yet so he guessed he was in the head. With that realisation he made his way over to his brothers chair and plonked himself down in it. When Gabriel didn't return within minutes of Castiel sitting down he found himself getting bored, and as such pulled the appointment book that was open on the desk towards him, and leaning back with his feet up on the desk (cos that would really piss Gabriel off) he started to read. It was a complete coincidence that the book covered his face.

Dean pulled into the parking lot of the airfield still not completely sure he believed he was doing this. But he was here now so he might as well get it over with. As such he pulled himself out of his baby and straightened his new shirt (he had decided he should make some sort of effort for this night out, he had to keep up the pretence after all, and it had nothing to do with the thought at the back of his head that might see Castiel and therefore wanted to look good at all) before he headed to the office of Heavenly Flight Training Company to go collect his 'date'.

Walking into the office Dean saw Gabriel sitting behind his desk with his feet up reading the appointment book. Or at least the quick glance which he afforded in that direction informed him that someone was sitting at the desk and he presumed it was Gabriel as it was his desk.

"Okay lover-boy let's get this done." He said with a confidence he didn't feel.

"I'm not sure that is appropriate Dean. You are after all no doubt here to pick up my brother. And I doubt we have the time." Castiel replied as he lowered the book and smirked at the shocked look on Deans face.

"I... Ur... Um... " Dean tried to answer. Yeah okay he had been subconsciously looking round for the guy but that didn't mean he expected to see him exactly, he just hoped he would, course now he had he couldn't think of anything to say, damn it.

Gabriel had been standing in the bathroom since he heard his brother make his way to the office. He wanted to know what would happen when Dean arrived and saw Castiel in there, how they reacted when he wasn't around, and as such he leaned against the door and waited. And what he heard had he chuckling to himself. God could they be any more obvious? But be that as it may he should probably go out there and rescue Dean from his brother.

"Well hello Dean-o, don't you just look divine." Gabriel interrupted, sauntering into the office from the bathroom where Castiel noted he had obviously been changing his clothes as he was now wearing a smart blue shirt that brought out the gold in his eyes. He was obviously making an effort for Dean, which would have confused (and maybe pissed off) Castiel had he cared. And he didn't, not at all.

"Thanks." Dean murmured for more than just the compliment, he was glad that Gabriel had arrived before he had made an even bigger fool of himself in front of Castiel. Then of course he remembered they were supposed to be on a date. "Um, you look awesome too." He said cringing at the lameness of that sentence.

"Well aren't you just a charmer." Gabriel replied with a chuckle as he went over and patted Dean on the cheek before turning to his brother with a smile which quite clearly stated he was the cat that had got the cream. "We're heading out now. I'll see you tomorrow, but don't worry if I'm late, I have a feeling I'm going to have a good night tonight." And with that Gabriel turned Dean and pushed him out the door leaving Castiel glaring at their backs.

Climbing into Dean's car Gabriel noted how clean and tidy it was. The car was obviously loved, but then didn't Dean call it his baby? He was about to ask when Dean turned the key in the ignition and the rock station he was used to hearing from the hanger came blaring out of the speakers.

"Wow you two really are made for each other." He murmured.

"Sorry." Dean said reaching to turn it down. "Did you say something?"

"Just that you and Cassie seem to have the same taste in music, Dean-o." Gabriel responded sitting back to see where Dean was taking him. He had a plan for this evening, and it involved mentioning his brother as much as possible. Anything he could do to make sure Castiel was never far from Dean-o's mind and hopefully convince the man that Cassie really was into him, though Gabriel had a horrible feeling that that could well be an uphill struggle with Dean Winchester.

Castiel contemplated following his brother and his date once they left but decided against it. He had decided he didn't care and didn't want to get involved. Therefore following them was not on the cards. So instead he stayed in the office a few minutes longer, giving them the chance to leave, before making his way to his car and driving back to his small and depressing one bed apartment. Of course as soon as he walked through the front door all he wanted to do was leave again. Hmm, maybe he should get a pet, you know something to come home to? Perhaps a cat, he liked cats, they were independent and did as the pleased, much as he himself did. But that didn't help right now and Castiel couldn't put his finger on the problem, (well he could if he actually thought about it but he had resolutely put Gabriel and Dean from his mind). What he did know was that he didn't want to be alone, with that he grabbed his keys and wallet and walked back out his door. He needed a beer in calm surroundings where no one would question him, and he knew just the place.
