"S'mmy, you're one sexy hamster," Gabriel mumbled drunkenly and leaned against his partner with his entire body weight. That he couldn't stand upright and was having difficulties putting his thoughts into words, or figuring out what his thoughts were in the first place, didn't keep him from groping every bit of Sam he could reach, however.

"And you're out of your mind," the brown hamster replied with a deep sigh. He had stopped trying to keep the golden hamster from feeling him up to his heart's content, because it was a waste of time, anyway. Not to mention that Gabriel couldn't do anything even more stupid while his hands were busy like that, so it was the preferable option.

Sam felt that he had to keep an eye on the two little humans, too. They had eaten the same stuff his fellow hamster had, after all. He didn't really know what he was supposed to do if they tried to do something dangerous, but maybe he could come up with something spontaneous when the moment came. Besides, the point was that someone should be watching the two kids.

"Nah," Gabriel protested, stretching the sound as much as he could which was a lot in the state he was in, "Your very pr… pr… presence is just in… in… intoxicating!"

The golden hamster looked overly proud with himself just because he had gotten the words out, but it was adorable to watch how his face lit up. Sam didn't get to watch that long before his partner threw himself at him and started to pepper kisses all over the taller hamster's face, though.

"I love you, Sammy," the smaller hamster mumbled over and over as he tried to get ever closer to his partner, "I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you."

It was a good thing that Gabriel always was quick to point that out when he was as much in his right mind as the golden hamster would ever be, as well. Otherwise Sam would have had to doubt the sincerity of his mate's words.

It wasn't good that the golden hamster seemed to have forgotten everything about the 'not in front of the humans and especially the children' rule they had been able to agree on after some serious and hard discussing and bargaining on Sam's side, however.

In the end, the taller hamster managed to roll Gabriel on his back and scratch his tummy with both of his front paws until the golden hamster was nothing more but a puddle of vaguely hamster shaped but highly satisfied goo. His left hind leg was twitching every time the brown hamster kneaded a spot he particularly enjoyed, but other than that the golden hamster seemed to be completely boneless.

That way Sam could at least look over to their two little humans, as well. The hamsters hadn't moved from their place at the intended exit of the makeshift labyrinth and the two boys were lying on the floor on the other side of it. Castiel let his head rest on Dean's chest and giggled uncontrollably, because the other boy was tickling his side. It didn't occur to the black haired boy that he could just move away or tickle back, though.

"'M telling you, Cas, that Meg's not good for you," Dean rambled, slurring his words, but speaking with a lot of conviction, "What do we even know 'bout her, huh? She just – like – shows up some day and is all like 'Oh Cas, can you show me how you colored that so pretty?'. 'M telling you, she's bad news, she is. Bitch."

Castiel just giggled some more, gasped slightly when he heard the swearword and then giggled all the more because of it.

"'Nd you're too nice to tell her to fuck off," the other preschooler mumbled on. He had stopped tickling Cas and had instead thrown his one arm around his friend protectively while he gestured wildly with his other hand while talking on. "But you totally were my friend first 'nd she's no good, she isn't!"

Castiel lifted his head with great effort and looked at his friend with wide blue eyes. "You said a bad word, again!" Of course, he immediately broke into another fit of giggles after pointing that out.

"'S not bad when it's true!" Dean argued and wrapped his second arm around the other boy, too. "You 'n me, Cas, we don't need girls. We've got each other and stuff."

Strangely enough, Castiel stopped to giggle when he heard that and just nodded with all the seriousness a rather tipsy five year old possessed. Considering that that five year old was still Castiel, there was a lot of seriousness in the nod.

"You're Batman and I'm your Catwoman," Castiel mumbled sleepily.

"Damn right! And don't you forget that!" Dean exclaimed hotly and smiled in a very dorky manner when he felt his friend nod against his chest.

Both boys were getting very tired very quickly, however. Before they knew it they both were fast asleep with Castiel's head still against Dean's chest and Dean's arms still around Castiel.

"And you thought romance was dead," Sam told Gabriel with a slightly amused smile. The two kids were freaking adorable, after all. It wasn't like they had hurt themselves or each other or had done anything all too stupid, so the taller hamster was very willing to count that as a success. Thank the heavenly hamster for small mercies!

"That's so beautiful," Gabriel murmured and sniffed loudly, "Hold me, Sammy!"

Sam did not point out that he was already holding his partner and just squeezed him a little more which seemed to satisfy him.

"If we were humans, would you still love me?" Gabriel suddenly asked much more serious than the brown hamster was used to from his partner.

"Sure, honey, I'd still love you," he replied without having to think about it. Why wouldn't he love Gabriel, if they were another species?

"What if you were a platypus and I was a kangaroo?"

"Gabe, no matter what species we were, I'd always love you," Sam answered seriously and planted a firm kiss against his partner's head, "But you'd be the platypus!"
