That night I got home with that dumb smile still stuck to my face. Castiel was prodding a grilled cheese with a spatula in the kitchen. When I closed the door behind me he looked up and hummed an acknowledgment for a greeting.

"Hello, Gabriel. How was your date with Sam?" He asked when I made my way into the kitchen.

"It was awesome, Cas. He's so kind and understanding and...God, he's just...amazing. So, so amazing." I sighed leaning against the fridge and hugging my shoulders. Cas looked at me with his intense azure stare and squinted curiously.

"You really like him, don't you?" he asked rhetorically.

I closed my eyes and sighed, "Oh God, yes. I'm going to meet his brother and everything." I huffed a little laugh to myself, I hadn't been this serious about anyone in a long time.

"His...brother?" Cas asked clearly puzzled as to why I wasn't meeting his parents.

"Yeah, Sam doesn't have parents so his older brother gives the stamp of approval for him." I explained. I'd done the whole 'meet the family' 'get permission' ordeal back in highschool so this wasn't anything new, but I really wanted to impress this guy. Sam really looked up to him, so if Dean disapproved of me, I was basically screwed.

"I see," Cas said finally, "So, tell me about your date." I opened my eyes and thought about what an awesome little brother Cas was.

On Monday at work Kali and I were hanging on the words of the local weather man, "This week we're expecting a cold front along the west coast in the San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Jose area..."

I breathed a huge sigh of relief as Kali closed her eyes and whispered a thanks to her Hindu gods. I looked down at her from my position on the countertop.

"Put in a good word from Gabe." She looked up at me with a bitchface and hit my knee but ended up smiling.

"I should move back to India, at least there it rains once in a while." I gaped and clutched my chest in mock offense.

"You wouldn't leave me behind, would you?" she rolled her eyes and shoved me. I chuckled and took a bite out of my Hershey's bar.

"I'm just glad it's over." I said as I hopped off the counter and muted the TV.

"It's too bad you won't be able to oogle Winchester in those skin tight clothes anymore, though." She teased from the desk chair. I felt myself turn scarlett and I glared hard at her. She just raised an eyebrow like I had just proved her point.

"Shut up." I grumbled at her, more embarrased that she was right than annoyed.

I was locking The Bunker doors that night at closing when I heard someone jogging up the side walk. I turned to tell them we were closed when Sam stopped and grinned crookedly at me.

"Hey Gabe." He panted.

"Heya Sam-a-lamb, sorry we just closed." I apologized, but he shook his head and laughed, "No, no, I wanted to see you."

Now, if I had any say in the matter, I would be saying something cute or funny, but seeing as my brain turns to shit whenever I'm in close proximity to this giant puppy, I just blushed and beamed up at him.

"I came to ask if you were free Friday night." he told me. Since I never have anything going on ever I didn't even have to think about my answer.

"Nope, I'm all yours." I replied, which made him bounce happily.

"Perfect, do you want to have dinner at my brother's place, then? I'll cook." He asked hopefully. God, this man was too cute, how can someone this amazing even exist among people.

"That," I emphasized, "sounds marvelous, Sam. Wanna meet me here after work?" I said pointing to the curb we were standing on.

"Oh, yeah sure, great." He nodded, grinning.

"It's a date." I confirmed. He gave me a thumbs up as he jogged away down the street. I watched him go (not admiring his ass) before heading home.
