Gadreel arrives at the house, suddenly feeling very nervous. He looks up at Mia's father home, feeling like a stone is on his chest. He doesn't do well around a lot of people, always feeling like he's going to panic. But he pushed that down and immediately a burly Italian man opened the door.
"Are you Gadreel?" he asked, making him nod.
"Y-yes, sir."
"Oh please, sir is for when I'm 60." He laughed, "My name is Darius, I'm Mia's stepfather. "
Before Gadreel could respond, Darius lead him to the backyard, where he saw many people he didn't recognize. He stood there not knowing what to do, until he heard a loud voice called his name.
"Gadreel!"
Mia ran up to him, her hair this time in black and red pigtails, and star glitter on her cheeks. She grabbed his arm and smiled.
"Wanna meet everyone?" she asked, with him nodding yes.
Over the next hour, Mia introduced him to the guests.
He met Garth and his wife, Bess. Garth was a very energetic man who hugged him as a greeting. He also chattered how Dean is just a giant teddy bear and he thinks his wife is the most beautiful woman in the world to him. Gadreel couldn't help but think that Garth is happiness personified.
He also met Bobby and Ellen a couple that knew the Dean and his brother since they were in diapers. The both seemed like gruff people, especially Bobby, but they were very kind towards him. Their children, Ash and Jo were also kind to them. He found Ash's hairstyle peculiar and when he questioned it, Ash just shrugged and said, "All business upfront, party in the back." Mia snorted loudly at that.
He also met Dean's family. He met his parents, Mary and John; Mary was very kind to him, while John seemed to be just as gruff as Bobby. They both though seem very happy that Dean and Castiel are getting married. He also met Dean's younger brother, Sam, who wasn't little at all. He introduced his wife, Jessica, who was very beautiful. He learned Sam is a lawyer and very happy over his brother's nuptials.
He also met Dean's best friends, Benny Lafitte and Charlie Bradbury. Benny reminded him of a bear; a very cuddly bear. He was with his wife, Andrea, and he was just glad that his friend was finally getting married and to the loved of his life. Charlie was just as enthusiastic, comparing Dean and Castiel love to other "OTP", which he didn't understand.
Mia was leading him to the barbeque when he noticed he didn't Dean and Castiel anywhere. When he mentioned it to Mia, she just shrugged.
"They are probably making out somewhere." She said, then burst into raucous laughter when she saw him blush. When they got to the grill, Gadreel saw a middle aged bearded man flipping the steaks and Mia smiled at him.
"Hey, Dad!"
Gadreel's head snapped up and looked closer at the man, seeing the same brown eyes as Mia, realizing this is Richard, her father. He couldn't help but be warmed by the love that Richard had for his daughter. He suddenly had a deep ache in his chest, but he forced it down as he held out a hand.
"Hello, . I am-"
"Oh I know exactly who you are." Richard said with a smirk. "You're the guy who stole my girls' heart."
"Dad!"
Richard just laughed as he took Gadreel's hand and gave out a firm shake, which then turned into a hard squeeze.
"You hurt her, I will break your neck." He said with the same smile on his face. Mia rolled her eyes at her father, excusing herself as she pushed him away. Gadreel watched the Songs walk away with amusement, taking a soda from the cooler for himself. He then saw Castiel walking up to him and nod at him.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" Castiel asked.
"Very much, cousin. Richard and Darius are excellent hosts." Gadreel smiled, "I met your future in-laws, your marrying well, Castiel."
"Thank you."
The two cousins stood in comfortable silence, until Castiel broke it.
"Gadreel…does Mia know why you were expelled from the family?"
Gadreel's breath hitched as he shook his head.
"No, I…don't think i should"
"Gadreel, I think you should. Dean and I learned early on that such secrets should not be kept to ourselves." Castiel said gravely, "Mia is more open-minded then you know. I think she will understand."
Castiel then left Gadreel alone with his thoughts as he mulled over his cousins words. He then looked at Mia, who was enthusiastically eating a rib and talking to her father.
Yes, he should tell her; he only hoped that she will understand.
AN: Barbeques, everyone's favorite family gathering.
So, Gadreel meets everyone and finally meets Mia's father, who is a nice guy, but protective of his daughter. The guy I was thinking for Darius is Billy Santoro, who is also a gay pornstar.
So, Gadreel will tell Mia his family secret, what could it be?
Enjoy and comments are loved! I don't own SPN, just Mia and her dads!
