Hello again my dears. Have another chapter, I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.
Castiel woke the next morning just as confused as he had been before he had gone to sleep, and he knew of only one solution to when he felt this way. He needed to fly. With that thought he grabbed his keys and left his apartment, not once looking at the papers on his coffee table.
He arrived at the airfield and went straight to the hanger, he needed to be in the air like, yesterday.
Gabriel was sitting at his breakfast table reading through some work when his phone went alerting him to a text message. See being the man he was he had spies everywhere, and it was one of them, texting to inform him that his brother had just arrived at the airfield. Jumping up he grabbed the keys to his Lamborghini and was out the door. He didn't know what he was going to do or say, all he knew was he needed to see his brother.
Castiel was busy doing the preflight check, however much he wanted to be up in the air he couldn't cut that down, when he heard the door to the office go. He ignored it, along with the voice calling his name.
Gabriel entered the office to find it empty, but that didn't really surprise him, if his brother was still here he would be with his angel. Making his way to the hanger he saw his brother walking around the plane doing god only knows what.
"Castiel." He called as he entered, hoping for something, even if it was just his brother telling him to get lost. But all he got was silence. Castiel didn't even turn round. Running his hand through his hair in frustration Gabriel had no idea what to do or say to get his brother acknowledge him but he knew he had to try something, as such he opened his mouth without thinking about what was going to come out of it.
"I'm sorry Cassie."
At those words Castiel stopped what he was doing in surprise. Had his brother really just said the S word? Turning he looked at Gabriel to see the same look of shock on his face as Castiel felt on his own. Seemed his brother hadn't planed to say it then. For some reason that made Castiel feel even better about the words. It wasn't one of Gabriel's ploys to get him to do what he wanted. Tilting his head he stood there staring at his brother thinking.
Gabriel just stared back. He refused to take it back or back down. Yes he may never apologise, but now he had he wasn't going to expand on it, or grovel. Hell no. Gabriel Novak did not grovel to anyone.
With a nod Castiel turned back to his angel before he spoke.
"Want to come for a flight?" He asked in an offhand manor but Gabriel knew it was his attempt at an olive branch and he was not about to throw that away.
"Sure." He replied letting out the breath he hadn't known he had been holding before making his way round to the passenger side of the plane and getting in.
They didn't speak again until they were up in the air.
"What are you sorry for?" Castiel asked once he had got the plane at a good cruising altitude.
"Everything. The lying, the plots, all of it." Gabriel answered, that wasn't grovelling, it was explaining.
"Including Dean?" Castiel pressed, his hands tightening on the stick. If he didn't like his brothers answers, then his brother would not enjoy this flight so much. Or though, maybe he wouldn't anyway.
"Definitely including Dean. I just got carried away at the idea that you and he were perfect for each other," at that Castiel turned to Gabriel with a glare and sharply moved the plane causing Gabriel's arms to automatically grab at the side of the plane. "But I'll keep my nose out of your business from now on." Gabriel rushed to continue. Maybe having this conversation in the air with a pissed off expert pilot wasn't the best idea he had ever had.
"Good." Castiel nodded. Suddenly he pulled back on the stick making the plane go straight up into the air and over in a perfect loop the loop. Of course, he had given his passenger no warning that it was coming.
"What the hell Cassie?" Gabriel screeched at him making Castiel smile in a predatory way. His brother was in his domain now.
"Sorry, did I forget to mention I'm practising my aeronautical manoeuvres today?" He asked Gabriel innocently before turning the plane so it was plunging towards the ground.
"Son of a bitch, you just want to make me puke my guts up." Gabriel growled as Castiel leveled off with a manic grin.
"If you are sick in angel, Gabriel, you are cleaning her up." Castiel replied cheerfully. Oh yes this was definitely fun.
"I'm sure I can find someone to pay to do it." Gabriel muttered causing Castiel to sharply turn so they were horizontal with the earth. "Will you stop that." he demanded. Gabriel really wasn't sure how much of this he could take, damn his little freaking brother.
"No." Castiel replied simply before turning once more.
"I hate you Cassie." Gabriel uttered through gritted teeth. He was going to have to keep his mouth closed if his brother continued.
"You know what they say Gabriel." Castiel replied causally pulling the plane up for another loop the loop. "Revenge is oh so sweet."
Gabriel had no response to that. Not just because yes okay Castiel might just have a point with that one, but mainly he was worried that if he opened his mouth he really would puke. Instead he sat there with his eyes closed tight holding onto the sides of the plane for dear life hoping his brother felt he had punished him enough as soon as possible. He just really wanted to get back onto solid ground.
And when they did get back down Gabriel actually got down on his hands and knees and kissed the floor, making Castiel laugh loudly, seemed he had found Gabriel's weakness now. And it was something he was definitely going to remember for the next time his brother pissed him off.
