Gadreel and Mia were at her apartment, watching Once Upon a Time. It didn't take long for Gadreel to fall in love with the show. He always had a soft spot for fairytales and he also like the Belle and Rumplestiliskin pairing. He also preferred Mia's apartment; it had a more homely feeling compared to his.
But today, Gadreel was quiet than usual, mulling over his thoughts. He was considering if he should tell Mia the reason he was ostracized from his family, but at the same time, was afraid of her reaction.
He then heard a sigh and Mia muted the television. She then looked at Gadreel with a pensive frown.
"Ok, what's the matter?" she asked, "You're quieter than usual. What's up?"
Gadreel bit his lip, suddenly feeling anxious. He sat forward, rubbing his forehead in agitation. He then gave a deep sigh and turned to Mia.
"Mia, you know that…my family and I don't speak to each other."
She nodded in understanding.
"That my family ostracized me."
"Yeah, I remember Cas told me about that."
"Well…the reason is because I have done something when I was younger."
Mia cocked her head in confusion.
"I was four years old when my sister, Hannah, was born. I was very happy and so were my parents. They doted on her, saying she was like a little cat."
Mia smiled at that, but then frowned when a stormy look came over Gadreel's face.
"I was reading about cats and how they land on their feet. And then I was thinking og how everyone compared Hannah to a cat."
Mia cringed, realizing where this was going.
"So, I thought because cats will alnd on her feet, so will Hannah. So, I picked her up and dropped her out of the window."
Gadreel stopped as he glanced at Mia, seeing her frozen with a blank expression. It looked so foreign on her that he wanted to stop talking. But Mia spoke first and asked quietly,
"And?"
"She landed on some bushes safely and one of our relatives saw what I did. You can imagine my parents reaction." He said with a bitter laugh, "They assumed I was jealous of Hannah and when I tried to explain myself, they wouldn't hear me. They already assumed how I felt. They didn't hear me."
Gadreel swallowed down the lump in his throat, remembering his parents face and the disgusted looks on their faces.
"They sent me away to live with a distant relative, who put me in a boarding school as soon I was eligible, where I spent practically half of my life. I banned from home and all my relatives think of me as the jealous child who tried to kill his sister. Everybody looks at me like a monster. Only Castiel, Gabriel and Balthazar treat me kindly."
Gadreel glanced at Mia again, seeing her face pale and stormy, another foreign look on her. Her left eye twitched and she exploded.
" .Fuck?!" she yelled as she suddenly got up and apced around him, "You were a kid, just a kid! How could the blame you like that? What the fuck are they? Fuckin aliens?! My God, how could they do that?"
Gadreel watched with wide eyes as Mia spewed more profanity's and paced around him. He then realized that Mia was angry on his behalf; she was angry over what happened to him. He suddenly felt intense relief ad gratitude towards the young woman, feeling like a great weight has been lifted.
He felt his eyes teared up and he let out a choked out sob. Mia stooped her tirade and looked at Gadreel, quickly coming up to him. He looked at her, almost marveling that though he was sitting down and she was standing, he still towered over her.
"I'm not a monster." He stuttered.
Mia's face crumpled and she threw her arms over him, hugging him fiercely.
"No. No, you're not."
AN: Now we figure out why Gadreels family have ostracized him. I actually read about this as a case and I thought it will be interesting to put it with Gadreel. So, Mia is just furious with his family situation because she knows four year olds will basically believe anything. She curses when she is really mad.
So, comments are loved! I don't own SPN, just Mia!
