Entanglements
Handcuffed Together

Summary: Gabriel pokes his nose where it doesn't belong.

Authors Note: I think the timeline is after Castiel's decline but well before Gabe's "Death".

The brothers had been in the middle of the biggest prank war in the history of the Winchesters, it wasn't that shocking with all of the stress they were currently under. What was a little surprising is that Castiel wasn't picking a side to help. He was just watching everything explode around him. The three of them land at Bobby's for some R&R when Gabriel finally has had enough watching and wants to have some fun of his own.

The next morning all four human's in the Singer house woke with a new addition. A new piece of jewelry attached to their wrists and connecting them to another member of the household. Gabriel had been expecting entertainment but instead all he got was an eye roll and a shake of a head from Bobby who set forth to pick them. Only when he couldn't unlock them did his cursing wake up Sam who was attached to the man. They really shouldn't fall asleep together while researching, its important to get sleep.

Feeling the two others wake he chuckled and popped into the bedroom they were located in. He created a chair and took a seat knowing the freak-out would be of epic proportions. Gabe was worried he was losing his touch when Dean slowly woke and instead of screaming and falling out of the bed like Gabriel had envisioned, the hunter smiled softly and move a few inches closer to Castiel and closed his eyes again, drifting back into his dreamland.

Gabriel just blinked and wondered what rabbit hole he had felt down and when this got flopped onto his head, he knew that they didn't know what was happening but he figured the brothers would blame the other and he wondered if he had to kick it up a notch. Already having gotten some form of reaction from the other two hunters Gabriel focused his attention on the two sleeping 'men' in front of him.

Knowing Dean wasn't completely asleep he grinned and snapped his fingers another chain appearing between their two ankles and that woke the hunter with a grunt of confusion, forcing him to only raise on his left side as the right was strapped to a falling Angel. The movement woke said Angel and he blinked a few times looking at his human and around the room unable to see Gabriel until he wanted to be seen. Arch-Angels did have its pluses.

"Cass?" the hunter asked softly shaking the attached parts of themselves.

"I am unclear at this moment but it does not feel threating." The falling Angel told his human and Gabe shrugged he wasn't going for wrathful god, just playful trickster. Bored god if you must. It was funny really, but he still wasn't getting the reaction, snapping his fingers the length on the chains shortened by half and the two males noses brushed. A light blush pulling over the human hunters face as Castiel stars into his eyes now that they were so much closer.

"Really, not threating, what are we able to do right now Cass?" Dean whined and Gabriel held back the need to roll his eyes.

"A great number of things Dean, let me show you." The Angel told him closing the space before Gabriel could leave he witnessed their first kiss and his eyes widened. That was so not the lesson he wanted to teach! He blinked out and snapped his fingers undoing all his work wondering just what had happened.

Castiel felt the spirit or entity leave and the chains fell as he pulled back from the kiss and smiled at Dean again. It had been way too easy to make the thing want to leave and he wondered who it had been.

"What was that for?"

"Besides you being you, it freed us." Castiel told him with a smirk showing him his now free arm and leg. Dean just nodded and blushed slightly and he pushed out of the bed and into the bathroom. He looked back as he half closed the doors taking in the still half asleep falling Angel, his Angel that was stretched out on the bed.

"Joining me?" a grin answered for him as the other man if he could be called that moved over to the smaller room stripping as he went.

"Always."
