Thanks so much to Firgodes7, Larkafree, Kohananinja, LeighAnnWallace, Snowin' You and Madclifton for reviewing chapter one. Each of you gets a replica of Gabriel's "War is Stupid" t-shirt. Also, thanks to the peeps, who subscribed to follow the story. :)
As Castiel slid his tongue inside Erick's opened/moist mouth, all he could think about was that Barbara, the HBO executive had been a little too enthusiastic, when requesting for the two of them to kiss. Cas gave mental kudos to the former model because the man was a kick ass kisser. If he got the gig, Castiel will never complain of the choice for his leading man. Cas started to feel a tad lightheaded and needed to bring the make out session to an end. Luckily, he heard the doors open. Castiel opened his eyes and unwound his legs from around Erick's trim waist. The two of them shared shy smiles.
Cas turned his head to see, who the newcomer was. He was unable to breathe as he observed Dean the master of all dicks Winchester strut cockily across the conference room. Castiel loathed his former co-star's overconfidence with a passion! He couldn't contain his fury and yelled, "What the fuck is he doing here?"
Dean ended up standing in the middle of the room. He gave the present company a toothy grin. "Good morning lady, gentlemen, Gabriela, dude I don't know and Crapstiel." Castiel bit the inside of his left cheek and fisted his hands. Oh how he longed to punch the cocky bastard on the jaw. Castiel swiftly got to his feet and started getting dressed. He glared malevolently at Dean, who had the gall to continue smirking at him.
"Didn't you know Crapstiel? I'm auditioning for the role of Zachiel." Dean performed a visual inventory of Castiel from head to toe. He winked at Cas.
Erick, who put his V-neck back on, offered his hand to Dean. "Hi, I'm Erick and hopefully I will get the role of Magnus." The Swede's eyes landed on Castiel for a second. He returned his gaze to Dean. "There is no need for name calling."
Dean chuckled as he finished shaking hands with Erick. "Me and Crapstiel go way back. Isn't that right, Castiel?"
"Yes, Losechester…we do. Congratulations on posing for the Scotsman Who Ravished Me, by the way. You must have been so proud wearing hair extensions and a skirt; the highlight of your career." Castiel offered an angelic smile. He plopped himself on a chair adjacent to Barbara. Cas even folded his hands together over his lap giving everyone present a choirboy image.
He stole a peek at Dean, whose nostrils were flaring as if Sam had thrown one of his infamous noxious farts after consuming Mexican food. Dean turned to Sam, Chuck and Zar. "You bastards have known for a while Crapstiel was going to be in this and kept it from me!" He narrowed his hazel eyes that were amber at the moment at Sam. "My own flesh and blood kept the truth from me. This is damn low, Sammy."
"I'm sorry, Dean but we all know you would've never agreed to audition if you knew Castiel was involved." Sam gave his big brother sad puppy eyes.
The two execs approached Dean and introduced themselves. Barbara and Ed led him to a corner, where the trio conversed for a while. Castiel continued glaring at the oldest Winchester. "I fucking hate the three of you. How could you do this to me? There are so many talented actors in this town, who can do a much better job portraying Zachiel than that asshole." Castiel was whispering but Dean was watching him. A huge frown adorned his handsome features.
"Listen up, mate. I will only say this once. We want the three of you as the leads. No Dean…no show. We're going to have the three of you act out the last scene of the pilot. Think of it as your final exam. The three of you pass with flying colors…we'll start production the Monday after New Year's." Zar explained to his old friend. He was not going to allow Dean and Castiel's mutual hatred to ruin the show before it began. "The two of you can be professionals on set. I don't care if you castrate each other in the outside world. Am I making myself clear?"
"Crystal"
"Good and don't fucking forget your salary will be nothing to sneeze at. So strap on a pair and stop acting like a fucking spoiled brat."
"I'm sorry, Zar." Cas felt terrible.
Barbara, Ed and Dean returned to the conference table. Barbara winked at Castiel and Erick. Ed handed the three actors their own script. "We want you to re-enact the last scene from the pilot. It's when Remiel and Magnus meet Zachiel for the first time."
Castiel rolled his eyes. Erick was already reading his lines. Dean smirked the entire time he memorized his lines. Cas dreaded to think what the tawny haired man planned on doing. Well if Winchester intended to improvise so would he. Thirty minutes passed and Ed instructed them to get ready.
Gabriel reached from across the table and patted Castiel's left hand. "Break a leg, cuz." Castiel smiled and got up.
Erick walked gingerly with his glacier eyes half closed while holding the side of his neck. His character, Magnus had just saved Remiel from two vampires, who wanted to drink him like a Capri Sun. The master vampire almost had a side of his neck ripped out. He falls on the ground trembling. His body will take time to heal itself due to the fact he hasn't fed on human blood for half a year. Remiel removes his own t-shirt to cover the flow of crimson blood.
Remiel and Magnus for some weird reason had a mutual magnetic attraction towards one another since they met. The dark haired man is terrified Magnus will die and it is his entire fault. Magnus closes his eyes. Remiel feels for his pulse and his eyes widen, when he doesn't feel a heartbeat. Castiel stiffens as he prepares himself for Dean's entrance into the scene.
An evil chuckle is heard coming from behind. Remiel quickly stands up on shaky legs. He narrows his eyes at a cocky man, whose vibrant eyes turn completely ebony. Remiel takes a few steps back and leans against a tree. The stranger approaches him until their bodies touch. Dean licks his lips and whispers in Castiel's ear, "This is how it's done. Take notes, Crapstiel." He takes his time sniffing Cas' neck. Dean licks Castiel's cheek. He feels gratification upon feeling Castiel's entire body shiver.
"Take your dirty hands away from me. I don't even know what the hell you are!" He turns his face away as Dean kisses the corner of his mouth.
Dean gently traces Cas' jaw with two knuckles. "That's not how you feel with that disgrace for a vampire over there. I could smell your arousal a mile away. You're gagging for the fanged wonder to fuck you." Dean gripped Cas' biceps hard.
"You're lying! Let me go so I can save him please."
"I will release you but under one condition." Dean cupped Cas' chin. "Look at me!"
Castiel's electric blue eyes clashed with Dean's amber orbs. "What?"
"One kiss…all I ask is one kiss from a fallen angel."
Remiel shakes his head. "You're fucking stoned or crazy!"
"After you save your lover, I will tell you the truth about who you really are."
"Hurry up and let's get this over with," Remiel says through grinding teeth.
Dean takes his time leaning his head down. He rubs his nose with Castiel's before his mouth lands on Cas'. Dean rubs his groin against Castiel's cock. Castiel tries kneeing Dean's family jewels but the taller man was a step ahead. Cas closed his eyes and opened his mouth. The trick worked because he baited Dean and got him exactly to do what he wanted. The Winchester didn't waste any time and slid his tongue inside Castiel's inviting mouth. All of a sudden, he winced in intense pain as the sneaky bug eyed bastard's teeth chomped down on his tongue.
Dean released Castiel, who resumed the scene. He scurried over to an unconscious Magnus. Remiel stood astounded as he witnessed the large wound on the fallen man's neck disappear. So the strange creature, who just mauled him, was telling the truth?
The spectators erupted in applause. Gabe even gave the trio a standing ovation. A bag of Skittles scattered on the floor. Castiel assisted Erick in standing up. "That was fucking amazing!" Zar bellowed. Sam and Chuck nodded in agreement.
A thunderous Dean walked to the conference table and yanked a Kleenex from the box. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His tongue still hurt like crazy. His eyes shot daggers at Castiel. Barbara broke the tension. "That was the best audition I've ever witnessed. Gentlemen, thank you so much for coming. We'll get back to you within a week." Ed and Barbara shook hands with the actors, who vacated the office. Gabriel followed them.
"Gabe, hold on!" Zar yelled.
Gabriel turned around. "Are you going to make another joke about my ensemble?"
"Actually I want to offer you the catering job? I know you're a magician in the kitchen. What do you say? Are you in?"
"Yes, of course. I'd be honored! Thanks, Zar." Gabriel blushed.
"I'll call you tomorrow so we can draw out the contract."
A gorgeous brunette with a killer bod and almond shaped grey eyes waited for Erick outside the building. He introduced her as Lauren, his fiancée to Castiel and Gabriel. The wheels of Dean's beloved '67 Impala could be heard burning rubber on the corner. Castiel smirked.
"Cassie, let's celebrate and take a little trip to the Pleasure Chest." Gabriel wiggled his eyebrows.
"I still have to wait for the executives' decision. I think I blew it by biting a small chunk out of Dean's tongue. They probably think I'm a fucking liability now. It's just that fraker always manages to get a rise out of me!" Castiel's grip on the Jeep's steering wheel intensified. His knuckles were turning white.
"Cassie, can we talk about something else? I don't want to die with the car's hood wrapped around my pretty little neck. I want to see you on the TV screen acting in the True Blood rip off. " Gabriel buckled his seatbelt tightly.
Cas turned on the radio and left the Howard Stern Show on. "You're right. I shouldn't waste my valuable time talking about that has been…ugh scratch that…never was!"
Gabe changed the topic. "What a shame Erick is engaged to that gorgeous Victoria Secret model cuz the two of you have sizzling chemistry." The short man pouted before popping a Sour Patch Kid inside his mouth.
"Do you want to have lunch before hitting the Pleasure Chest?" Cas inquired while they waited for a red light to turn green?"
"We can shop first and then eat at Cantina Grill." Gabriel stuffed the remnants of the small pack inside his mouth. Castiel winced.
"One day you're going to go into a diabetic coma."
"And you'll perform CPR on me and be my own Florence Nightingale." Gabriel batted his golden eyes at his cousin.
"Don't make me barf inside my car."
The two men entered the Pleasure Chest and were greeted by Hector. "Gabriel, I was beginning to think you jumped to another ship!" He gave Gabe two air kisses.
"You kidding…they will have to remove my corpse from this place. You guys will never get rid of me! Any new merchandise, Hector?" Hector nodded. "Lead the way, gorgeous!"
Castiel remained by the porn section. His eyes wandered to where Hector led his cousin and he rolled them. The tall bronzed man was showing Gabe the latest penis pumps and extensions. Fortunately, he didn't need any help in that department.
An hour later the cousins exited the sex shop with Gabe carrying two large bags. Castiel purchased a porno for the hell of it. As they headed to Cantina Grill, Gabe removed a small box from one of his bags. "Here, Cassie…this is for you. I can't wait to see your reaction, when you open it!" Gabriel clapped his hands.
Castiel waited for a red light to open Gabe's present. He was afraid to see what was inside. Cas opened the lid and retrieved a Cyber skin Cyber Sex Buddy. He tossed it at Gabe's head. "Gross! Dude, I am not that desperate!"
"You're such a fucking prude! It's just a masturbation sleeve…jeez Castiel grow up! You need to start dating. When was the last time you got some?" Gabriel grabbed the gift and gently placed it inside the box.
Castiel hit the accelerator a little too hard. They sped up on the left lane. "I dated Meg for three months earlier this year and we had sex regularly."
Gabe gagged. "Whatever…you need to settle down. I'm going to make sure you find the love of your life soon."
"I'm a big boy and can find the right one on my own. Speaking of hooking up…are you going to spill your heart out to lover boy?"
Gabriel actually blushed. Castiel did a double take. Gabriel Novak never blushed. He must really like this mystery man. "I'm going over to his place and surprise him."
"That's great, Gabe. Good for you, man. You can borrow the Jeep if you want."
"Nah, I'll take the train. I'll probably spend the night over at his crib."
Later that evening, Castiel was about to head over to a local Irish pub, when his cell rang. Barbara called to let him know the role of Remiel was officially his. The three of them had blown her and Ed over earlier that day. She was excited to start filming in January. Castiel thanked her and she told him her assistant would contact him later in the week to set up an appointment for the contract negotiation. Gabriel heard the entire conversation since Cas had Barbara on speaker. Gabe performed the Carlton Dance. He kissed Cas hard on the cheek and whispered congratulations in his ear. Castiel was ecstatic but at the same time was dreading working with Dean again.
Gabriel kissed his reflection in the mirror while he applied mascara on his long lashes. He moved on to his lips and lightly tapped lip gloss on them. Gabe placed his favorite black fedora over his head before exiting the apartment he shared with Castiel. Tonight he donned a silk leopard print long sleeved shirt with tight black skinny jeans and black boots. In one hand he held a bag of goodies from the sex shop and in the other a homemade Italian meal he'd personally made for him and his crush. Tonight he would finally tell his crush he was gaga over him.
An hour later, a nervous Gabriel calmed himself as he knocked on his crush's penthouse door. After waiting for two minutes, he heard his voice scream for whoever was at the door to hold their horses. Gabriel smiled. His heartbeat accelerated and for the first time since he was an adolescent, Gabriel Novak felt butterflies in his stomach.
The door was opened revealing a shirtless and barefoot Balthazar. The Brit donned tight faded blue jeans and nothing else. Gabe's eyes landed on Zar's chiseled chest. His smile lessened as he noticed two dark love bites adorning the man's upper torso.
"Gabe, what brings you here, darling?" Zar moved aside inviting his friend in.
Gabriel was about to open his mouth, when he received the shock of a lifetime. Sam Winchester, the fucking giraffe was descending the stairs pulling a t-shirt over his head. "Zar, is the pizza here?" He finally saw Gabriel. "Oh hey there, man. I thought you were the pizza man."
So the fucking Sasquatch was the one, who'd given Zar the hickeys. Gabriel was trying extremely hard not to cry in front of the two men. "What brings you here?" Sam inquired. Gabe wanted the ground to open up and swallow him.
