Under the Apple Blossoms
The archangel lay on his back in the apple orchard, staring up through the white spring blossoms into the soft blue sky. It reminded him of heaven with the humming of the bees going on about their business pollinating the virginal blooms.
When had his home lost all this beauty? His brothers' battles damaged more than just the earth; they ripped the peace out of the heavenly realm too. Strange to think that now he could only find this joy on earth. No wonder he had left home behind.
His peace was disturbed by the arrival of another wanderer.
"Gabriel, what are you looking at?" Sam Winchester threw himself down in the grass and Gabriel twitched his wings out of the way.
"Just enjoying spring, Samuel," Gabriel used his softest voice so as to not disturb the work of the bees. "Remember when Cas went nuts and started babbling about the bees?"
Sam laughed. "Yes, that was pretty funny, looking back on it. At the time though, it was just weird. Did you hear about when he showed up on the hood of the Impala dressed in bees? Freaked Dean right out."
Gabriel settled even more comfortably into the soft grass. Sam leaned on an elbow beside him and tried to stick a long blade of grass into Gabe's ear.
"Our Cassy certainly can be original. He's one angel that's never boring." Gabe said then tried to swat Sam's delicate torture device away. "Stop messing with my ear, kid. I'll make you regret it."
"Oh yeah, short stuff?" Sam moved the grass stem to the end of Gabriel's nose. "Just what are you trying to say? You gonna to take me in hand?"
Gabriel gave up and rolled on top of the Hunter. "You just keep forgetting who's in charge, don't you Sasquatch?" Gabe held Sam's hands down in the grass and moved up to steal a kiss. Sam made the orchard ring with his laughter.
"You're such a sucker, Gabe."
