Gabe: Wat time shud I pick u up?
Sam: Um…7:30?
Gabe: Perfect
Sam sighed and put his phone back on his nightstand. It was Tuesday night and he and Gabriel were going on their date. Sam was so nervous. The two of them were going to go out to dinner at a diner not far from school and then they weren't sure. Sam decided to wear his best jeans, a gray t-shirt and a blue/green plaid shirt over the top of it. He was told (by Jessica and Channing) that that shirt brought out his eyes. He glanced at the clock; it was 7:15 so he still had fifteen minutes. He had already taken a shower, so he began to get dressed. Castiel and Dean were in the kitchen, discussing what they still needed to buy for Thursday.
"Bobby and Ellen are bringing the turkey and then Anna and Raphael will," Dean let a slow whistle as Sam came into the kitchen, cutting off Castiel.
"You look good, Sammy. What time will Gabriel be here?"
"7:30."
"Not much of a date in only two hours." Sam rolled his eyes.
"Dean, you told me I could be back by 11 tonight. I don't have school tomorrow."
"How about 10?" Castiel offered as a compromise.
"Thirty." Sam eyed Dean and Castiel. He had never really had to debate a curfew with the two of them before, but this was important. Dean and Castiel looked at each other, once again communicating without speaking.
"Fine. Fine Sammy, 10:30." Sam smiled.
"Is he coming to the door at least?" As if on cue, there was a knock at the door. Dean folded his arms across his chest and looked at Sam expectedly. Sam ignored the look and tried to fix his hair in his reflection in the microwave door. Castiel rolled his eyes.
"Nobody move, I'll get it." Castiel declared and then walked out to the door. Sam heard Castiel say hello to somebody, but was too distracted to hear who by the pounding of his heart in his ears.
"Sam, Gabriel's here." Castiel announced as he and Gabriel came into view. Sam couldn't help himself when the smile slowly spread across his face. Gabriel smiled back and walked towards Sam, but Dean took a step so that he was between them. Sam was just as tall, almost taller actually, than Dean, and peeked over Dean's shoulder with a muddled expression on his face.
"So, what's on the agenda for tonight?" Dean's eyes were locked on Gabriel's. Gabriel swallowed, slightly nervous. This was the most nervous he had ever been for a date. And this was the scariest 'dad' that he had ever come across. Dean was a huge guy. He towered over Gabriel and his frame was practically stuffed with muscle.
"Dinner at Conner's then maybe a movie." Gabriel tried to be his confident self, at least in front of Sam.
"Which movie? What time?"
"Well, there's um…th…that…" Gabriel's mind was a total blank. Movies? What the hell were those things?
"Gabe, he's just trying to get to you. Dean, back off huh?" Castiel's tone was warning, but not nearly as murderous as his eyes. Gabriel looked at Castiel and nodded a 'thanks'. Dean threw his hands up in surrender.
"I just want to make sure they have time to get home by curfew. Which is 9, by the way."
"Dean," Sam and Castiel began.
"Okay, 10…30." Dean added the last part because of the glance he got from Castiel. Sam finally moved from behind his brother and over to his date. He slid his hand down into Gabriel's and intertwined their fingers. Gabriel relaxed instantaneously. Castiel moved over closer to Dean and Dean wrapped an arm around Castiel's waist.
"Have fun you two. Now go, before Dean changes his mind." Castiel smiled and gently elbowed Dean in the ribs.
"Bye, guys." Sam waved with his free hand and gently pulled Gabriel out of the kitchen (ignoring a possible beginning of a protest from Dean). The two were out the front door and Gabriel finally let out a breath that he hadn't realized he had been holding.
"I am so sorry about that. Dean usually doesn't do that he just,"
"Sam, relax. He's your older brother and practically your dad. He wants to protect you. I get it." Gabriel replied as he opened the passenger door to his car. Sam smiled at Gabriel; glad he understood and wasn't offended.
"Thank you." Sam gave Gabriel a quick, gentle kiss on the lips before sliding into the car and shutting the door, leaving Gabriel outside. Sam watched as Gabriel's face went from slightly confused to overjoyed and he swaggered to the other side of the car.
"So, to Conner's?" Gabriel turned his smile to Sam. Sam smiled back and nodded. The two took off. There wasn't any of that awkward silence that came with a first date. Sam and Gabriel talked easily, and Gabriel even reached over and took Sam's hand half way to the diner. Once at the diner, they were sat a booth and the conversation switched to a little deeper.
"So, did you talk to Michael today?" Gabriel choked slightly on his Cherry Coke (with extra Grenadine). Once he could breathe again, he looked at Sam.
"Uh…no. I didn't. He actually um…he avoided me pretty much all day." Gabriel sighed. Crowley was the go between for the two of them, and Gabriel felt bad about it. He knew that Crowley was trying to be a good friend to both of them and it was going to take some time for Gabriel and Michael to get back on speaking terms.
"I'm sorry. He'll come around." Sam reached across the table and gently stroked Gabriel's knuckles. The waitress brought over their food, a burger and fries for Gabriel and a grilled chicken sandwich for Sam, and Gabriel wanted a subject change.
"Why didn't you order a burger? This place is famous for 'em."
"Yeah, I know, but I've just always liked chicken better." Sam shrugged.
"Okay, weirdo." Gabriel smiled and tore into his burger. The two ate mostly in silence, just focusing on the butterflies in their stomachs not throwing up. Once they were finished, Gabriel ordered an ice cream sundae with extra chocolate syrup, and two spoons. Sam rolled his eyes, but smiled.
"So, are you guys ready for Thanksgiving?" Gabriel asked once the waitress had left.
"Well, Dean's not. He's trying to figure out how he's going to cook for everybody and where the food is going to go and where everybody will sit and blah blah blah. Me and Cas think it'll be fine, but he worries a lot. Especially when family is involved."
"So, I'm considered family?" Gabriel raised an eyebrow.
"Well, there's an application process and a wait list." Sam smiled. He had wanted to say 'yeah, maybe someday we could be family,' but he would've meant it in like a house, with a dog. Sam would be a lawyer, just coming home with dinner on the table, and there was his devoted house-husband. Waiting for him. Holding his…their son in his arms. Smiling. Sam was brought out of his fantasy by the waitress dropping off the sundae and the check.
"So, did you want to go see a movie tonight or would you rather just head home?" Gabriel was secretly hoping that Sam to choose the former as he took a bite of the sundae.
"Which movie? And it can't be that one about the ghost hunting brothers because Jess wants to go see that one on Friday."
"Just the two of you?" Sam had forgotten that he hadn't officially asked Gabriel to go see that movie yet. Then again, they were still only half way done with their first date.
"Well, actually, it was going to be her, Brady, Kevin, Channing and then me and you if you want to come. I mean you don't have to if you don't want to. It was just going to be something fun we all do and…" Gabriel thought it was adorable that Sam was all nervous and talked fast like that.
"So, are you asking me on a second date?" Gabriel inquired, complete with a smirk.
"I…I suppose I am."
"I would love to." Gabriel took the last spoonful of ice cream as Sam smiled at him. The two then discussed which movie they would go see tonight. They decided on the newest action movie. They had been so into the discussion that Sam didn't even notice that Gabriel had paid until the waitress brought back his change.
"Well, the movie starts soon. We better get going." Gabriel stood up and Sam did too. They walked out of the diner hand in hand to Gabriel's car. The two left for the movie theater. Once there, Sam insisted on paying for the tickets, but Gabriel practically bought the whole candy counter. The two found their seats all the way in the back corner and waited for the movie to begin. Once the lights shut off, Sam slowly put his arm around the back of Gabriel's seat and Gabriel rested his head on Sam's shoulder. The theater was rather empty; there was actually only one other couple there and they were two rows away from the screen. It didn't take long for the boys to realize that the movie was going to be horrible. Gabriel knew how to make it more enjoyable.
Gabriel lifted his head and turned more towards Sam. Sam noticed it out of the corner of his eye, but was trying his hardest to keep his eyes on the screen until he felt Gabriel's hand on his thigh. Sam jumped slightly and then looked at Gabriel. Gabriel had a mischievous smile on his face that Sam could see even in the shadowy theater. Sam tried to smile back, but he wasn't sure it came out right. Gabriel leaned in and found Sam's lips in the dark. Gabriel slid his hand up to Sam's inner thigh and Sam gasped. Gabriel took that opportunity to slip his tongue inside Sam's mouth. Sam and Gabriel's lips and tongues moved in sync with each other. Gabriel slid his hand up even more and Sam groaned slightly then put his hand on Gabriel's chest and gently pushed him away.
"G…Gabe," Sam whispered breathlessly. It wasn't so much that he wanted Gabriel to stop. He just didn't want this to happen so quickly.
"Hm?" Gabriel responded, moving his lips to Sam's neck. He softly bit and nipped at Sam's neck and collarbone. Sam closed his eyes and bit his lip to keep from groaning again.
"I…I think...c…can we maybe just, slow down a little?" Gabriel stopped and looked up at Sam. He looked nervous, but Gabriel wasn't sure if that's because he was nervous about what Gabriel was doing or because of what he was asking.
"I…I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, Sam. I just…"
"No! I mean, no I liked it. I just," Sam paused, not sure how to say how he felt. "I don't want this to go too fast. I want us to take our time." Sam didn't quite meet Gabriel's eyes, but he meant it. He didn't want to make their relationship a totally physical one. He wanted them to take their time, but he really didn't want Gabriel to stop. Gabriel smiled.
"Well, Sam, that's downright respectable."
"I…I'm sorry. If you don't…" Gabriel cut Sam off with a long, chaste kiss. When they broke apart, Sam looked a Gabriel with a bemused expression on his face.
"Sam, I want you to be just as happy in this relationship as I am. If taking it slow is what you want to do, then let's take it slow. Plus, the buildup is half the fun." Sam couldn't believe what he had just heard. Sam grabbed Gabriel's shirt and pulled him closer into a more passionate kiss. Gabriel was caught slightly off guard, but kissed Sam back anyway. When he felt like his lungs were going to explode, Sam pulled away and looked at Gabriel. Gabriel looked back, smiled and then rested his head back on Sam's shoulder. He slid his hand down to Sam's knee and kept his eyes on the screen.
"Thank you." Sam whispered in Gabriel's ear and gently kissed his temple. Gabriel simply squeezed Sam's knee in response. If this had been anybody else, Gabriel might have protested a little bit, but he wanted this relationship to work. Once the movie was over, the two left the theater and got back into Gabriel's car. Sam still felt like Gabriel wasn't totally okay with them taking things slow, so he brought it up.
"Look, Gabe, if…"
"Sam, listen to me. It's a lot easier for me to slow down to make you comfortable than the other way around. I promise you I'm okay with it, as long as you are." Gabriel glanced over to see Sam's face. Sam had a smile on his face. Gabriel reached over and stroked Sam's hand with his. Sam smiled even wider and intertwined his fingers with Gabriel's. The two sat in a comfortable silence back to Sam's house. Once in the driveway, at 10:25, Gabriel put the car in park and got out. Sam was a little confused, until he heard his car door open. Gabriel smiled as Sam got out of the car and the two walked onto the porch. They were just inches from each other when they got to the door.
"Thanks for tonight. It was amazing." Sam smiled. Gabriel returned it.
"Yeah it was. I'll see you Thursday, right?"
"Of course." Gabriel began to lean in for a goodnight kiss when the door opened. The boys jumped apart and looked. Dean was standing there, his eyes hard, staring at Gabriel.
"Well hello, boys." Dean smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.
"Dean, we were just saying goodnight." Sam had never wished looks could kill, until now.
"Well, goodnight Gabriel." Dean offered. Sam rolled his eyes and turned back to Gabriel, who had pure terror in his eyes. Sam gave Gabriel a kiss on the cheek.
"Let me know when you get home, okay?" Gabriel nodded.
"Night, Sam." Gabriel glanced quickly over at him before retreating to his car.
"Dean, you can't just…crap. I forgot my phone in Gabe's car." Sam said before running over to Gabriel by his car. Gabriel was leaning against the driver's door with his eyes closed. He was just breathing. The two were out of Dean's sight, so Sam snuck up and kissed Gabriel on the lips. Gabriel opened his eyes, but then wrapped his fingers in Sam's hair and kissed him back. The two shared their goodnight kiss until Dean shouted.
"How long does it take to find a damn phone?!" They broke apart and grinned at each other.
"See you Thursday." Sam whispered before quickly kissing Gabriel again and then walking into the house with his brother.
Gabriel, meanwhile, still couldn't believe what had just happened. He had gone out on a date with, not just a boy, but Sam Winchester. Sexy, smart, funny, kind and amazing Sam. If Gabriel was being honest with himself, it was the best first date he had ever been on.
