A/N: Small time skip to having everyone arriving back Home at the Bunker.
I've decided to give them the Bunker too because I want to.
I don't think I've mentioned the Bunker yet, just a mix of nameless Motels.
I would have Updated sooner however I am currently a Beta Editor for a friend. This Chapter is a little different to how I wanted it - Laptop glitched and I lost my work, Sigh - so I had to work from memory. I tried.
"So what do we do after a Hunt?" Gabriel wondered, taking in the passing scenery towards Sam and Dean's 'home' he was told it was called a 'Men Of Letters Bunker' which Gabriel was clueless to.
Castiel was asleep again, his first transformation from Human to Merman back to Human and rescuing Dean from the watery pit had taken practically every ounce of strength the Youngling had. Castiel barely managed to drag himself to the Impala's backseat.
"We go home and recover, wash clothes, eat proper food, sleep on our actual beds if we need it, watch TV or read a book, search for new cases. That sort of thing" Sam rambled off, nearly drifting off himself.
"Hey, we've only got about ten minutes left. You can sleep in your bed" Dean criticised his Brother
"How are you able to function like this? Drowning took a lot outta me"
"Well Sammy, I'm not you. Plus we both know I'm better at handling situations like that, how do you think I managed to hold my breath so long?"
If Sam's brain was at full capacity he would have lost his collective shit in composure, probably woken up Cas and make Dean pull over just so Sam could rant away at his Brother demanding to know about past encounters with such as experience.
Gabriel took the heads up to wake up Castiel "Baby Bro, time to wake up"
Castiel groaned, nearly stirring in sleep "No..."
Gabriel smiled, Sam caught it in the mirror, Gabriel plugged Castiel's nose forcing the Youngling to burst awake, chortling
"Gabriel!"
Sam laughed with Gabriel "Nice job" Sam complimented in between laughs.
"Think it did the trick"
"Get a room" Dean mocked
Sam pulled a Bitch Face while Gabriel darted his tongue out, scrunching up his nose too.
The Bunker was a pleasant and welcome sight for all. Gabriel made Castiel walk - with aid - so the Youngling could still remember how to move before resting. Sam and Dean didn't interfere, Sam escorted Gabriel and Castiel to a spare bedroom, three went
in and two exited
"Samster, your wiped. Come on" Gabriel was about to take Sam to his room to then suddenly realise he knew nothing about this place "Which way's your room?"
Sam chuckled, lopping his arm over Gabriel who easily accepted it and held Sam's fingers for security and the small desire to simply because he wanted to, it wasn't until they started walk that Sam realised he had bend due to the vast difference in their height "Sorry" Gabriel whispered
"It's fine" Sam was padding his way to his room, having to fight off his sleep "Not like we can help it"
As they were walking they happened to notice Dean enter his room which was suspiciously close to Castiel's but no-one bothered to say anything. Sam staggered to his bed after tripping over his door "Sorry about the mess"
"Room's pretty small for someone like you, Sam" Gabriel mentioned
"It's got a bed, table and room for books, that's all I ask for" Sam plopped himself on his bed making himself warm and cosy
"Mind if I join you and borrow some of your literature?" Gabriel picked through the books
"Sure. You saved me, not like I'm going to say no"
Gabriel made himself comfortable after swiping up his chosen book. The Archangel Fish took guard over Sam, sitting on top of the covers unlike his Human Charge. He used one hand to hold the book while the other was carding through Sam's brunette locks
"Get some rest, Kiddo. You deserve it, I'll be here watching over you"
Dean tried to sleep however flashback and memories of near drowning experiences plagued his mind. Lying still on his bed was doing him no favours so he decided to make himself busy, cleaning out his arsenal and loading them for their next Hunt.
"Dean..." Castiel's voice his Dean's sidewall. The Winchester decided to investigate, letting himself in next door.
"Hey Cas, you any better?"
"Yes. No doubt later Gabriel will have my moving around this place tonight to make sure my legs still work. What were you doing?"
"I was counting sheep" Dean replied, he worried that he had woken Cas up, forgetting Gabriel's words earlier that both he and Cas didn't require sleep because they weren't Human, Cas only needed rest because of the transformation from his Human form to Mer creature back to Human form.
Silent confusion was brought his way "I don't understand"
"It's an expression, Cas. I couldn't sleep so I made myself busy to wear myself out but it didn't work"
"So you don't have sheep to count"
Dean lightly scoffed "No, Cas" The Winchester had to duck his head to avoid yawning in Castiel's face
"You are tired now" Cas mentioned, sitting up a little
"Yeah, Captain Obvious. I am"
"So why are you unable to sleep?"
"That Hunt with the Sea Witch, brought back a few unwanted memories"
"Do you want to discuss it?"
"Not really, Cas" Dean rubbed his face with both hands "I'm going to bed, night Cas"
"Goodnight Dean. I'm here... if you want to talk"
"Don't make this a Chick-Flick moment, Cas. I'll see you in the morning" Dean struggled to get up, his body's exhaustion was too far gone
"Dean," Castiel slipped out of bed, limping over to his friend "Stay here. I'm sure it would be wise to lie down and rest after your Hunt. You did suffer from nearly drowning" The Angel Fish pleaded, gripping Dean's shoulders firmly.
"Fine, you win" Dean submitted, having Castiel drag him to the bed, it wasn't a double but it had enough space to hold two people
"Sleep Dean. I've rested enough. I'll watch over you"
"Don't stare at me all night, it's creepy" Dean muttered fading into sleep.
Extra Note: And I'm stopping here. I have small set ideas for my next Two Chapters. I might add a little filler in between or somewhere necessary, both Destiel and Sabriel.
Please let me know what you all think.
