Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.
Half an hour after returning from his fun and wonderful trip into the sky with his brother, and Gabriel was sitting behind what used to be his desk drinking a cup of coffee and finally feeling like he was going to be okay, and that his stomach had finally decided which way was up and it was stick with it. Which was a good thing considering it was at that exact time that Castiel walked into the office from the hanger having put his angel back to sleep.
"Cassie, can we talk?" He asked in what he hoped was a gentle voice, he still wasn't one hundred percent sure that his brother had forgiven him for what he did.
"Yes, since we were children." Castiel replied dryly raising his eyebrow at his brother. Since when did Gabriel make that sentence a question? Was he still feeling guilty? Well good. Serves him right. Not that Castiel held a grudge at all.
"Castiel." Gabriel said with exasperation colouring his tone. How Cassie could be so flippant after that flight he had no freaking idea, and in truth really didn't want to know.
"What about?" Castiel responded with a sigh flopping himself down in the chair opposite Gabriel's with his arms crossed. He hated talking, and in truth he still wasn't sure about everything. Some things have become clearer, but others were still as murky as they were before he went up in angel.
"The business." Gabriel replied. He needed to know what was going on with it, and now that Castiel seemed to be talking to him, it was probably a good place to start. Though when all Castiel did was stare at him he wasn't so sure he was right on that.
"Have you signed the papers?" He asked hoping to get an idea of where they were.
"No." Castiel said cynically and with no emotion.
"Are you going to?" Gabriel asked hoping that after their talk Cassie would say yes.
"I don't know." Castiel replied honestly, it was one of the things he was still trying to work out. He had decided that he would like to stay here, doing what he had been doing a lot more than flying pretentious idiots around, but he really didn't want to have to be any more polite to people than he was, and if he owned this place he was going to have to do all the nasty paperwork and everything. And well, let's be honest, all Castiel truly wanted to do was fly.
"I don't want you to leave Cassie. You're my brother, I kinda like having you around." Gabriel said in a gentle voice, hoping to persuade Castiel to take the company rather than the other job. But he wasn't going to say any more, he knew if he pressed his brother he would do the opposite to what he wanted just to piss him off. It was Castiel's way.
And so the two Novak brothers sat there just staring at each other, and staring, and a bit more staring, until Castiel rolled his eyes and spoke.
"Fine, I'll stay, but only if you keep the company." He said with a put upon tone to his voice as if he was giving his brother a great concession.
"Excuse me?" Gabriel asked his eyes going wide. He really didn't think his brother would want him anywhere near this place and yet, he wanted them back to working together?
"I can't run this place Gabriel. I fly. That's what I do. It's all I want to do. The rest of the admin stuff I am really not interested in." Castiel responded with feeling. He just wanted to fly his angel and to hell with the rest in all honesty.
"Okay fine. Then I best get to calling our clients and informing them we're back in business." Gabriel said with a chuckle at his brother's heartfelt declaration that he would not be doing anything in the office. Oh well, at least now Gabriel could call up some of his rich friends and get them flying with Cassie without his brother questioning it. He would get this company up and running with major profits in no time. It was what he did after all.
"Good." Castiel replied standing deciding that this conversation was over and making his way into the hanger, if he was coming back he would need to make sure he had everything he needed to teach flying once again. But before he could take two steps Gabriel spoke once more making him stop dead where he was.
"And Dean? Should I call him?" Gabriel asked as casually as he could, but he saw the tensing of his brother's shoulders at the name and he just crossed his fingers and hoped that Castiel would give Dean another chance, just as he was giving him one. What he had done was worse after all.
Castiel on the other hand was thinking. Dean was the murkiest subject in his mind right now, and He had no idea what as going on between them, he didn't even know if he wanted something to be going on, but he did know he needed to sort this out. He couldn't go on with all the questions and feelings going round in his head. He needed clear cut straight forwards answers, and the only way to get them was talk to the guy. So taking a deep breath he turned to his brother and spoke.
"I'll call him." He said turning round to Gabriel with a fire in his eyes making Gabriel supress the smirk that wanted to emerge onto his face.
"Okay. Here's his number." Gabriel replied with a raised eyebrow instead and then watched his brother walk away to the hanger. Oh my god how much did he want to be in on that conversation? To be a fly on the wall and overhear the lot. He was sure it was going to be explosive.
Castiel nodded as Gabriel handed the number and he looked down at the piece of paper in his hand. He then as if in a daze made his way to the hanger, he needed privacy to work out what he was going to say and then make the call. It was time to work out just what he and Dean meant to each other.
