So here is the next chapter. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.

Castiel panicked. Dean had seen him use his powers which was a big no, no, for angels. But what was he supposed to do? That man had held a gun to Dean. He had not thought he had just reacted, moving so he was in-between the gun and Dean was instinctual to him. The man was lucky that Castiel was not a vengeful angel otherwise he would have been dead rather than unconscious. But Dean, when he had taken him to Sam's house he had looked so lost and scared. Castiel wished he could have explained it all to him. But he couldn't, he still had no idea how he was going to make it so they could stay together, and now that Dean had seen him use his powers he had no idea what the consequences would be. From heaven or from Dean himself. His human may not want any more to do with him when he realised what he truly was.

So Castiel was in a panic as all these thoughts went through his head. In the end he realised that the course of action he was going to take before the mugger had attacked them was the only one open to him. With that he landed in the parking lot of the motel he and Dean had a room in and called Gabriel, he just hoped his brother came promptly.

Gabriel was relaxing, wondering what to do with his time when he heard Castiel's panicked call for him. Without thought he was gone to where his brother was. He had no idea what had happened or what was going on but it was obvious to him that Castiel needed help, and that was reason enough to move for him. Arriving he found his brother pacing as if he couldn't stand still if his life depended on it. But what caught Gabriel's attention more than anything else was the fact that he couldn't feel Dean anywhere close to them. What on earth-?

"Castiel, what's going on?" He asked in an unusually serious voice.

"I have made so many mistakes Gabriel. So many." Castiel ranted at him and when he turned Gabriel could see the crazy look of someone completely at a loss in his eyes. This alarmed Gabriel even more.

"Like what?" He asked in a steadying voice hoping to get Castiel to talk to him rationally as Castiel usually did.

"I… I love Dean." Castiel said calming slightly though he still had that lost look in his eyes.

At that sentence Gabriel eyebrows rose, had Cassie only just figured that out or something? Was that was this was all about?

"And?" He asked when Castiel said nothing more. He needed the whole story.

"And he loves me." Castiel replied with a frown, why was Gabriel not more worried about this information?

"And?" Gabriel asked again, because there was no way that that was what had upset Castiel so much.

"I have created a soulmate bond between us, Gabriel. I have broken the laws of heaven, how can you be so blasé about that?" Castiel snapped out at him. Why wasn't Gabriel panicking like he was?

"Weeell technically you haven't broken any laws, and I am well aware of you're and Deans feeling for each other. What I want to know is why you're wound up like a clockwork toy." Gabriel replied crossing his arms and leaning against Dean's car. It seemed Cassie needed to panic so he would let him, for now. If nothing else it was rather amusing to watch, Gabriel had never seen his brother like this before it was enlightening.

"What? What are you talking about? Angels and humans can't have relationships or feelings for the other. The other angels will destroy Dean and re-educate me." Castiel ranted in disbelief.

"There's technicalities that you don't need to worry about Cassie, you leave the other angels to me. They wouldn't touch you and Dean you have my word. Now what else has happened, and don't tell me nothing cos there is no way I will believe you." Gabriel replied not taking his eyes from Castiel's until the other angel lowered his and mumbled out an answer, though Gabriel could hear it as clear as day.

"I used my powers this evening and Dean saw me."

At those words Gabriel closed his eyes and leaned his head back. Castiel certainly didn't make it easy did he? "Okay, tell me everything, from the being." Gabriel commanded bringing his head back and opening his eyes.

And so Castiel did just that. At the end Gabriel was staring at him in disbelief.

"You took him to his brothers and just left him there?" Gabriel screaked, because really? That was the dumbest thing he had ever heard.

"Yes." Castiel nodded wondering why it was that this seemed to be the thing that upset Gabriel. Having told the whole story, he was feeling much calmer himself now.

"Are you completely insane?" Gabriel demanded still not able to get his head around what Castiel had done.

"I doubt Dean or Sam will work out the truth, and even if they do they won't tell anyone." Castiel responded thinking that it was this that had Gabriel so worked up. But Castiel trusted Dean and Sam not to talk.

"That's not what I'm talking about Cassie. I talking about you doing crazy shit in front of Dean, who loves you, and then rather than staying to explain you display leaving him to wonder if any of what you two had was real." Gabriel snapped because it seemed that it hadn't even crossed Castiel's head how Dean would be feeling right about now.

"So what do I do?" Castiel asked when it dawned on him that he had left Dean. He had left the man without a word, and Dean Winchester was fragile enough, this could destroy him.

"You get your feathery ass back there, you explain everything to him and you get on your knees and beg him for forgiveness. Love isn't a right for us Cassie as it is for them. If we are lucky enough to find we need to grab a hold of it with everything we have and never let it go." Gabriel replied in his voice of command. He wanted Castiel to be happy and for that he needed to be a Dean's side.

"But… humans aren't supposed to know about angels, Gabriel." Castiel ventured to say, he wasn't sure what was going on, but it certainly wasn't anything he had expected.

"Yeah well, it looks to me as if the Winchesters are becoming an exception to all the rules. Now go Cassie, be with the man you love, you leave the rest to me." Gabriel replied his voice returning to his usual calm level and he even had a twinkle in his eye, though what that was about Castiel had no idea but he wasn't really paying much attention, because it was at that point he heard a prayer, addressed to him, from Dean.

At that Castiel's eyes widened as he realised what that meant. Turning he was going to tell Gabriel but then he thought otherwise. Gabriel, his supervisor, was telling him it was okay to be with Dean, in fact he was actively encouraging it. And he wanted Castiel to tell Dean the truth, to keep no secrets from the one he loved. He had somehow managed to gain Gabriel's approval of his love and as such he had no need to share private prayers with him. That approval was a gift he had never expected to receive from his brother, and it was a gift that he didn't know how to ever repay.

"Thank you Gabriel." He whispered with all the sincerity he could muster before with a flutter of wings he disappeared leaving Gabriel shaking his head at the position Castiel had got them both into. It was a good thing he had been thinking of a way to make sure Cassie and Dean got to stay together, it looked like he was going to need it very soon. Well at least he wouldn't be bored when he was pitting his wits against the rest of the angels, in fact this sounding like great fun in Gabriel's mind. With that he flew back to heaven to await for the others to realise what was going on down on earth.
