Hello again my angels. So just to give you a heads up there is not much more of this story left, though I will probably be writing some little one shorts at the end to round everything up.

Anyway here we are, at chapter 50. Can't quite believe that but there you go.

Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.

Two weeks later Castiel and Dean were once again heading to the university so they could celebrate there one year anniversary, Dean had suggested that maybe they should go out for a meal or something but Castiel had wanted to go to the place they had had there first date. The place Dean had asked him to move in with him, and in Castiel's mind, the perfect place for him to propose. And so he sat in the passenger seat of the impala, nervously fiddling with the box he had in his pocket. Yes Dean had told him that if he ever asked he would say yes but that didn't make this any easier. What if Dean having lived with him didn't want to marry him any more? (Don't be stupid, of course he wants to marry you, he loves you Castiel.) What if Dean didn't like the ring? (He will love it. It's from you.) What if- no he had to stop thinking what ifs (excellent plan). He was going to ask Dean to marry him and he would say yes and they would live happily ever after and that was that. He would take nothing less.

Dean couldn't believe that he and Cas had been together for a year already. To him it had been perfect, oh it wasn't all sunshine and roses but relationships weren't like that, but it had still been perfect. Because in his mind Castiel was his perfect partner. He had wanted to show Cas that, by taking him somewhere special for there anniversary, but when Cas had asked that they return to the observatory he couldn't say no. And so here he was driving up to the university with the man of his dreams sitting next to him. Looking over at Cas out of the corner of his eye he saw that he looked nervous. Frowning Dean wondered just what he had to be nervous about. It wasn't like anything had changed between them. It briefly crossed his mind that maybe Cas was ready now, that he was going to pop the question, but he soon put that from his mind. He didn't need to marry Cas to be happy. And he doubted that his love had so suddenly changed his mind on the subject (you would be surprised me thinks). Not that it mattered, all that mattered was that he and Cas were together.

The same night that Castiel was preparing to propose to Dean Gabriel was concocting a delicious meal for Kali so he could give her her present. He just hoped she liked it all. And he hoped she understood what he meant by it. What it truly signified in their relationship. Because he had noticed recently that Kali had seemed slightly distant to him and he really didn't know what was going on, or what he had done wrong. But hopefully tonight he would be able to fix whatever was broken between them.

Kali on the other hand had found, after her conversation with Gabriel about engagement rings, that she was having a really hard time pretending that she wouldn't be leaving in less than four months. At forgetting about it. Because with everything that Gabriel said and did, it just made her care for him more, and yet for all she knew, this was all they had, this time together. And truth be told the other option that had occasionally crossed her mind was that she stayed here with him. But if he thought this was it, would he want her here with him forever? (He loves you and wants to be with you Kali.) And if he did want to be with her then why was he not telling her that? (Cos he's an idiot.) Why was he not talking to her about there future if he truly wanted one with her? (Again I'm going with idiot.) So theses questions had been bouncing round in her head for the last two weeks. She had been building up the courage to speak them, and now tonight, the night Gabriel was preparing a special meal for her she knew, was the night she would have to ask. Though it scared her to death, because this could be it. This could be the end of her and Gabriel. (I hope not.)

Castiel and Dean once again walked up the stairs to the roof, with Castiel slightly behind so he could watch the way Deans ass wiggled as he moved. He really did love that sight, and it at least took his mind off what he was planning on doing later.

They got to the roof and Dean laid out the blanket and pulled out the pie, special order from Gabriel of course, and they both sat down to enjoy it. Few words pasted between them, they had no need for them. They had each other and that was enough. But once the pie was eaten and the beers drunk, Dean went to pull Castiel to him so they could lie down together and watch the stars but he was somewhat surprised and not a little hurt when Castiel moved out of his way and sat there holding his knees to his chest and his back to Dean.

"Cas what's wrong?" Dean asked, worry evident in his voice as he suddenly realised that maybe Cas' nervousness earlier had been because he wanted to break it off with him. Oh god what would he do if Cas didn't want him any more? (Not a question you need to answer as he so does not want to break up.)

"I have been told all my life that marriage is the union of a man and a woman in the eyes of god." Castiel said looking up at the stars above there heads.

"Okay." Dean said, he wasn't sure where this was going or what this was about but he wouldn't jump to conclusions, he would wait for Cas to tell him what he wanted to. He just hoped it wasn't that he didn't love him any more. (It's not, the opposite in fact.)

"That a union between two men is blasphemy. Do you believe that?" Castiel asked turning to look Dean in the eye though he was pretty sure he knew exactly what the other man's response to that would be.

"No. Why?" Dean asked. Now he was just confused.

"You remember when I said that I wasn't ready for marriage?" Castiel asked continuing to stare at Dean intently.

"Yes." Dean replied, was this...? (Yes.) Was he...? (YES.) Really? (YES!) No it couldn't be. (I give up.)

"I am now." Castiel stated a smile breaking over his face as he watched Deans eyes widen.

"What are you saying Cas?" Dean asked, he really needed this clarified, cos he was pretty sure that Cas had just said he wanted to marry him. (He did.)

At that Castiel moved so he was on one knee in front of Dean and pulled the velvet jewellery box from his pocket, opening it to show Dean the ring as he spoke.

"I'm asking you Dean Winchester if you will do me the honour of becoming my husband."

Dean sat there for half a second, his mouth having fallen open. Because not only had Cas just asked him to marry him, he had gone to the trouble of getting him a ring and everything. Suddenly he realised he hadn't replied, hmm, he should probably do that now. (Yeah I think so don't you?)

"Yes, Cas, oh god yes."

At that both Castiel and Dean got the goofy loved up smiles on there faces as Castiel took the ring from the box and slid it onto Deans finger. It was a perfect fit. Once the ring was in place Dean pulled Castiel into his arms and gave him a love filled kiss, pulling them both so they were lying down in each others arms, neither could think of any place they would rather be. (So sweet.)

Gabriel evening on the other hand didn't seem to be going as well as his brothers. Kali had been quiet and fidgety all evening yet whenever he asked her what was wrong she would just force a smile on to her lips and say nothing. He was starting to worry. Cos he was pretty sure that there was nothing wrong at work or with her family which only left them. Did Kali not want to be with him any more or something? (No. God your as bad as each other you know that?) He needed to know. So it was with this uncomfortable atmosphere that they ate the meal Gabriel had prepared. He had been going to give her the hair combs after dinner, but the feel of the evening was such that he did not think that was a very good idea. So instead he cleared away there plates and grabbed a bottle of wine, taking it unopened into the livingroom and sitting down on the couch, not right next to Kali but still within arms reach.

Kali had felt the atmosphere and it had sent her heart to the floor and when Gabriel had not sat down next to her she knew. This was it.

"Okay Kali. I can't take this any more-" Gabriel started only for Kali to interrupt him.

"You're breaking up with me aren't you?" She asked in a quite voice, she couldn't believe she had let this happen again. She had gone and fallen in love with Gabriel Novak once more, and once more he was breaking her heart.

"What? No. I love you Kali, I could never not be with you. I want to know what's wrong so I can fix it." Gabriel rushed to say, grabbing her hands and making her look into his eyes. His eyes which were a mix of so many emotions, there was fear and confusion, love and protectiveness. But the over riding thing they seemed to be saying was please trust me, help me help you. And so taking a deep breath Kali did just that. She gave Gabriel her trust and asked the question that had been plaguing her.

"What are you going to do when I leave here Gabriel?" She asked making sure that she didn't take her eyes of his so she could read the truth of his words there.

"I'm coming with you of course." Gabriel replied confused about what that had to do with anything.

Kali looking into his eyes saw the confusion. And closed hers in response.

"Of course? Of course." she muttered eyes still tightly closed. It was so like Gabriel, to make a decision and forget to bloody well mention it to her.

"Yeah of course. What is this about? I thought we had decided this." Gabriel replied, he was still really confused here.

At that Kali opened her eyes once more to look at him with disbelief. "Really? Because I don't remember that conversation."

"Don't you want me to come? Is that what you're saying?" Gabriel asked going on the defensive at her tone of disbelief. Was this her way to telling him that? (Oh for gods sake, NO.)

"What? No. I love you Gabriel and I want to be with you." Kali reassured.

"Why can I here a but in that." Gabriel asked looking at her trying to work out exactly what was going on in her head.

"There is no but." Kali replied, even if at the back of her mind there was indeed a little voice screaming at her for giving him her trust. Telling her that he would only destroy her once again, and this time she would not be able to pick herself up from it. No there was no but, she loved Gabriel and she trusted him, and that was the end of it.

"Good, cos I got you a present." Gabriel replied smiling at her, completely unaware of the voices in her head as he turned and pulled the jewellery box out from under the side table where he had hidden it and presenting it to Kali.

Taking the box Kali was puzzled. Gabriel had got her a present? (Yes.) For what reason? (He loves you?) Not that he needed one of course but still, it did make her a bit suspicious. Opening the box cautiously she found nestled inside two perfect gold hair combs, each a wing, which when put together made a set.

"There beautiful Gabriel." She whispered, because they truly were.

"See now I can't leave you, you have my wings as well as my heart." Gabriel replied as he gently took the combs from the box and placed one in each side of her hair before turning to her with love shining from his smile and eyes and placing a kiss on her lips. And Kali, well she was just so happy, after all the time she had been worried that he would leave her once again to have him tell her he would never do so helped ease her mind. Though it didn't stop the voice in the back of her head, it did drown it out, for now.
