Hello my dears. I would like to thank Little Cinch for the lovely review.

Here's another chapter for you. I hope you like it.

Castiel had spent the days following his discovery that Gabriel and Dean had broken up watching his brother carefully. He had come to the conclusion that Gabriel was very good at hiding his hurt from him, though he understood that. If he had been in Gabriel's position he would have done the same thing, though he would probably be more belligerent, but that was just his personality. And so he had thought about how to get the truth from Dean rather than his brother. And as such had come up with the best plan ever. Dean's next lesson would be taking place in the air. Once Castiel had him in his control there was no way that Dean could lie to him. Thus the morning of Dean's lesson he came bounding in with a devious smile on his lips at the thought of scaring the shit out of Dean Winchester. Yes today was definitely going to be a good day.


Gabriel didn't think much of his brother's good mood. He put it down to the fact that today Castiel would be seeing Dean for the first time when he could actually flirt with him without the hindrance of him dating his brother. He had forgotten all about his suspicions that Castiel hadn't believed him, and he really didn't think Castiel would have any other reason for being in such a good mood. It fact it had been a while since he had seen his brother so happy when he wasn't flying. He was glad that everything seemed to be working out.


Sam arrived at Dean's garage ready to go with him for his lesson. Dean on the other hand had forgotten about his brother's offer and as such was rather surprised when he came out to his car to find his brother leaning against it.

"What are you doing here?" He asked confused, making Sam roll his eyes at him.

"I'm coming to your lesson remember? Help you sort out the mess you've gotten yourself into?" Sam replied as if talking to a child.

"Oh no need, Gabe and I have come up with a new plan." Dean replied a spring in his step that Sam hadn't seen before. He was extremely confused about why Dean would be so happy, especially as he was going to have a flying lesson, even if he did have the hots for his instructor.

"Do I even want to know?" He asked as he got into the passenger side of baby.

"I don't know do you?" Dean asked with a cheeky grin as he turned the key and the car came to life with 'Danger Zone' by Kenny Loggins screaming out of the speakers.

"You can tell me on the drive." Sam replied moving to turn down the stereo as Dean started to sing off key and pulled out of the garage.

And as they made their way to the airfield Dean did just that. Telling Sam all about the conversation he and Gabriel had had and the solution they had decided on. Sam couldn't quite believe how naive these two men seemed to be. Did they really think that Cas would make a move on his brothers ex? Or for that matter he wouldn't think the break up was all Deans fault? Because Sam knew, if he was in Cas' position he would definitely be blaming Dean. And thinking of ways to fix it all. That was what a younger brother did after all, they could be just as protective as there old counterparts, even if said counterparts never realised it. Oh well, he would see what the situation was when they got to the hanger.


Dean lead the way into the office smiling all the way, or at least he was until he turned to look at Cas, the first thing he always did when he arrived, and caught the predatory look on his face, and when he smiled at him it look to him like Cas was a big cat who had just seen a little mouse walk into his house. That look made his eyes widen in fear.

Sam who had followed him in followed his stare and guessed that that was Castiel. Hmm, he could see his brother's attraction, in an academic way, he wasn't the slightest bit gay. But the guy was attractive. When all his brother did was stare at the guy who stared right back he decided he needed to break the, whatever it was that was going on, and as such coughed, loudly. Of course this course of action gained not just the attention of the two who had been staring but a slight chuckle from none other than Gabriel Novak who had been sitting behind the desk and as such Sam hadn't spotted.

"Hi guys. Um, this is my brother Sam. Sam this is Cas and Gabe." Dean said into the room rubbing the back of his neck embarrassed by his behaviour and going red. Seemed he still hadn't been curled of blushing when he was caught staring at Cas.

At these words Castiel turned to the man with Dean and narrowed his eyes at him, he wondered why on earth Dean would bring his brother with him, unless he wanted lessons, though he didn't seem the type to Castiel. Then the thought came to him that maybe Dean had brought him for moral support. He was after all seeing his ex and his ex's brother, maybe he felt having someone on his side would be good. With that he inclined his head slightly in the taller man's direction not saying a word, making Gabriel rolled his eyes at his brother. He then stood from his desk making his way round and held out his hand.

"Hi Sam, pleasure to meet you." Gabriel said in a friendly tone and a genuine smile on his face. Dean had told him so much about his little brother he felt like he knew him already.

"Yes, um, Gabe. You too." Sam replied in a breathless tone as he hurried to grab his hand and shake it, making Gabriel to narrow his eyes at the younger Winchester. And then-

"Do I know you?" He asked causally as he looked up at him. He looked vaguely familiar. And then when Sam's eyes widened at his words he realised where he had seen this man before. And it was somewhere he didn't want Castiel to know about thank you very much.

"No doubt I've seen you around town at some point. Castiel why don't you take Dean for his lesson and Sam here can keep me company." He said smiling to the room though everyone there heard the tone of command underneath his words.

"Agreed." Castiel growled out and turned to the hanger, but not before he saw the two Winchester brothers exchange a look. That look puzzled him, and wondered once again why Dean would bring Sam here. Unless, maybe Dean didn't want to break up with Gabriel and Sam was here to persuade him to give Dean another chance? That was possible he supposed, after all his brother had been telling the truth that he agreed that he and Dean weren't suited for each other. Maybe Gabriel had been the one to break it off, but if that was the case, why would his brother do that? The only thing Castiel could think of on that brief walk to his angel was that Gabriel had thought that he wanted Dean and therefore didn't want to get in his way. If that was the case then Castiel had to get Dean and Gabriel back together, somehow. It looked like he would have quite a few questions for Dean once they were up in the air. The only thing to think of now was to wonder what maneuverers he would do if he didn't like the answers. A loop the loop sounded like fun to Castiel.
