Ugh...okay, so I was finishing this chapter at like 3:30 in the morning and for some reason I changed Ruby to Meg...which if you read A Little Piece of Heaven, Meg got married to Bathlazar. I forgot that for whatever reason, but! That has been changed now! Thanks to lenail125 for catching that!
Saturday Night
"I don't know about this, Sam." Kevin said. He was trying to flatten his hair, but it wasn't working. Sam was ready to go to the party, but Kevin was still reluctant. Sam really just wanted to go to see Gabriel. It had been months since they hung out, so maybe they could spend some time together just the two of them.
"Come on, Kevin. It'll be fun; plus don't you have a crush on that Channing girl? I think she's going to be there." Sam straightened his black t-shirt for what felt like the hundredth time. Kevin looked over at Sam and a smile slowly spread across his face.
"Really? She will be?"
"That's what I heard today in my P.E. class. That Crowley guy was there and I heard him talking about it with Lucifer."
"Who names a kid that? Like, why would you want your son to be named after the frikken devil?" Kevin looked at himself in the mirror one more time before he turned and looked at Sam.
"Well, Lucifer actually…"
"Means light bringer, yeah yeah, I know. Now come on." Kevin seemed suddenly very excited.
"Are you boys…oh." Mrs. Tran almost yelled upstairs.
"Thanks again for letting me spend the night, Mrs. Tran." Sam said when they reached the bottom of the steps.
"Of course, Sam. Your brother will be picking you up and bringing Kevin home, right?"
"Yes, ma'am. It should be around ten."
"I still don't understand why you two want to go hang out with them, but okay. Let's go, boys." Mrs. Tran then led the way out of the house and into the garage. She got into her white Escalade and the boys got into the back seat. She started up the car and the three took off for Gabriel's house. They pulled up to Gabriel's just ten minutes later.
"Thanks for the ride, Mrs. Tran." Sam said as he got out of the car.
"Kevin, no later than ten-thirty, when Dean shows up, you go."
"I know, Mom." Kevin rolled his eyes. Mrs. Tran started to say something else, but Kevin shut the door and he and Sam started walking towards the door.
"You'll pay for that later, won't you?"
"Oh probably. Hopefully tonight will be worth it."
"You just want to make out with Channing." Sam smiled at Kevin and, when they finally got to the porch, knocked on the door. Saraqeal answered the door and smiled wide at Sam.
"Sam! Oh Gabriel said you were coming! I'm so excited that you actually came!" She pulled Sam into a hug. Sam, slightly embarrassed, hugged her back.
"Hi, Sara, how are you?"
"I'm good; miss seeing you around here though." Sam pulled away and she released him. She turned towards Kevin. "Oh, I'm Saraqeal, Gabriel's mother."
"Nice to meet you, ma'am."
"Well, everybody is down stairs. I'm sure Gabriel will be excited to see you." Saraqeal moved away from the door and the boys walked into the house. They could hear loud, bass bumping music coming from the basement. Sam led to the stairs and walked down them. There was barely any light in the basement; there was some coming from the TV, which was playing the music and a couple of lamps that Sam knew had been changed to neon colored bulbs. Sam looked around and tried to find Gabriel. He could see a lot of people from his class, but not the person he was really looking for. Kevin pushed past Sam and went to talk to Channing. Sam followed him, still looking for Gabriel.
"Hey, Channing." Kevin stood awkwardly next to her so he could be heard over the music.
"Kevin!" Channing gave him a hug and Sam was pretty sure that Kevin could've gone home right then. They broke apart and Channing eyed Sam. She smiled. "Hey, Sam." Sam smiled back.
"Hey Channing, have you seen…?"
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Sam turned around at the British voice. There was standing Crowley, Michael and… The smile that Sam had on his face grew even more. Gabriel matched his smile.
"Gabe." Sam hugged his friend without thinking and Gabriel hugged him back. Gabriel was excited that Sam had actually shown up.
"Well, is everybody here then?" Crowley said when Gabriel and Sam broke apart. Gabriel nodded. He looked at who else was there. Jessica Moore and Jody Mills were talking by the table with the food. Lucifer was talking to some girl that Sam wasn't sure who she was. She had long brown hair. Jessica and Jody came over and talked to Sam for a while. Sam looked at Jessica more so than Jody. Her blonde hair, which was normally curly, was perfectly straight. She was wearing a low cut shirt and tight jeans. Sam walked around and talked to a few more people, but he never could get Gabriel alone.
"Well, let's get started." Crowley announced around 9:30.
"Started with what?" Sam asked.
"The main event." Michael smiled and Gabriel grabbed an empty bottle of pop (or soda, whatever you call it) and about eleven of the kids sat in a circle, but a few more decided to watch from the sidelines.
"Come on, Sam." Jessica pulled on Sam's hand and he took a seat in the circle, still a little confused as to what was happening.
"What are we doing, Jess?" Jessica giggled.
"We're playing spin the bottle. Duh." Sam felt a blush creep on his cheeks.
"Uh…I'm not sure that I want to play this."
"Oh come on, it won't be bad." She elbowed him slightly and winked. Sam shot a look over to Gabriel, who appeared to be watching him pretty closely. Gabriel smiled and winked at Sam. Sam decided to play.
"Alright, is everybody in?" Crowley looked around, and everybody nodded. Gabriel put the bottle in the middle and gave it a spin. It landed on the girl that Lucifer had been talking to earlier.
"Ruby and Gabriel!" Lucifer shot a hard look at Gabriel, as though it was his fault, before they kissed. They got up, crawled towards the middle of the circle, they kissed, broke apart and sat back down. Seeing Gabriel kiss Ruby made Sam a little more upset than he would have liked to admit.
Gabriel thought it felt wrong kissing Ruby. Maybe he should tell Lucifer that she was a bad kisser before he tried to kiss her. Crowley was next and his landed on Jody. Jody and Crowley kissed. The kids kept going around in a circle until it was Jessica's turn. She spun and it landed on…Lucifer. Sam sighed with relief. Jessica and Lucifer both looked disappointed with what happened. They kissed, regardless, and then it was Sam's turn. Sam took a deep breath and then spun the bottle. It landed on Gabriel. Blue and gold met across the circle and everybody laughed.
"Well boys, you know the rules." Crowley smiled and pushed Gabriel towards the middle of the circle. Sam moved into the middle and the two looked at each other.
"Come on, guys, just get it over with." Jessica hissed. Sam took a deep breath and kissed Gabriel. Sam felt like a thousand bolts of lightning were going though his veins. He didn't want it end. Their kiss lasted longer than the others had, but then Gabriel pulled away. Sam tried to look at Gabriel, but Gabriel wouldn't look at him. They both sat back down and Sam wouldn't take his eyes off Gabriel. Gabriel's eyes were glued to the floor. They were about to another round when Saraqeal yelled down.
"Jessica! Your mother is here!" Jessica sighed and looked at Jody.
"We have to go." Everybody stood up and there were hugs given around.
"So, Sam, I'm sorry that neither of our bottles ended up on each other, but maybe next time." Jessica smiled and gave Sam a hug. Sam hugged her back, but his mind was still on Gabriel. Jessica and Jody ran upstairs and then Sam looked around, trying to find Gabriel so maybe they could talk about what had happened. Sam saw him facing the wall, and then Sam realized that Gabriel had somebody pinned up against the wall. Sam's stomach dropped. It was Ruby, and she and Gabriel were attached at the lips. Sam looked down at the floor, his eyes tearing up. Sam wiped his eyes and walked over to Kevin, who was still talking to Channing.
"Kevin, I'm ready to go."
"Why? Sam, what's the matter?" Sam shook his head.
"I'm going to go and call Dean. He'll probably be here in like ten minutes." Sam ran upstairs and almost ran into Remiel.
"Oh, hello Sam. I was just about to come get you." Sam heard Dean laughing from the doorway.
"Thanks, I'll go grab Kevin." Sam ran down the steps and walked over to Kevin.
"Kevin, let's go. Dean's here." Kevin sighed.
"Oh…um…well, I'll see you in class on Monday, right? " Channing smiled. Kevin smiled back and nodded.
"Yeah, you will." Kevin turned towards Sam. "So, should we say good-bye to Gabriel?" Kevin looked around to find him. Sam looked over at him again and he was still kissing Ruby.
"No, let's just go." Sam ran back up the stairs, he heard Kevin follow. The two walked into the foyer, where Dean and Saraqeal were.
"Hey, Sammy, Kevin, you ready to go?" Sam nodded, not looking at his brother.
"Thanks a lot, Sara." Sam walked out and towards the Impala that was in the driveway. Sam took his seat in the passenger seat and waited. Dean and Kevin came out quickly and Sam avoided eye contact with both of them.
"So, do you want to tell me what happened?" Dean asked when he got in the car. Sam shook his head and just stared out the window. They sat in silence back to Kevin's, and once Kevin was out of the car, Dean looked at Sam.
"Sammy, what happened?"
"Nothing, Dean. Can we just go home?" Sam continued to stare out the window and kept wiping away the tears that were coming to his eyes. He wished that he had never gone to the stupid party. He wished he hadn't realized he was in love with Gabriel.
Gabriel sighed. He looked around his basement, which was a total mess. He was sitting on the couch, watching some stupid show on TV, all alone. What was he doing? He should call Sam. Sam never said goodbye. He had just left. It probably didn't help that Ruby had grabbed Gabriel after the game had ended and started making out with him. Gabriel hadn't felt a thing, especially after the kiss with Sam. The way it felt when their lips touched, and the how his heart sped up when he even felt Sam's eyes on him…no. Gabriel hadn't just thought that. He hadn't thought of Sam like that. He wasn't gay. Popular kids weren't gay, especially for nerdy guys like Sam Winchester. No, no way. Maybe it was just because Ruby was a bad kisser. Yeah, that had to be it. Gabriel thought about asking that girl Madison out, maybe. Hopefully she would be a better kisser than Ruby. Whatever, the main thing that Gabriel learned tonight was that he was most definitely NOT gay.
Okay, so I know I said only 3 middle school chapters, but the way this chapter took me, it seems to be calling for a shorter, filler chapter to kind of explain how they start acting towards each other. Just so you guys are aware! By the way, thank you SO SO SO much for your reviews, follows, and favorites. You guys are amazing!
