Good morning my shepherdess' and shepherds. The smile of a brand new day is upon us and Metallica is singing so we all know what that's means right? Any who I would like to thank rainystv, nerdchick394, lovely (guest), KnightAngel13 and Mummabro for the most excellent reviews. I would as like to thank those of you who have favoured and followed this story since my last update. I love ya all.

Anyway I think it's time for a bit of brotherly bonding don't you?

Charlie sat in her throne with a frown marring her face. She had thought last night was a slam dunk but it came to nothing. She needed to know what was going on inside those boys' heads. (Don't we all?) With that she turned to her computer.

Gabriel was leaning on the counter of his bakery when he received the email. It read quite simply

Gabriel,

You need to talk to your brother now. Find out what the hell his problem is.

Queen of Moondoor.

Yeah tell me something I don't know, he thought while he read it. He had been trying to come up with a way to do just that all morning. The only approach he could think of was the direct one. Though whether that would work or not he really didn't know. (Only one way to find out.)

Later that afternoon when Kevin came in for his shift he found his boss with his coat on waiting for him.

"Right Kevin. I'm going out. Don't know how long I'll be but if I'm not back lock up would you?" and with that Gabriel left.

Kevin just stood there with his mouth open. First Gabriel had called him by name and then asked him to lock up? What was going on? Gabriel never got him to lock up. With a shake of his head he went to start work. He really didn't want to get involved. (Good choice Kev. So much safer.)

Gabriel practically bust through the doors of Angel Books having run all the way there. He really wanted to see Castiel to sort this out. Though he knew this had started out as a form of entertainment, watching his brother get chased by various men that the Queen of Moondoor set on him, the truth was now he had seen Cassie with Dean he just wanted the thick headed idiots to get together all ready. Cos he was pretty sure that Dean was the only guy in the world who could make his brother happy. And he wanted little Cassie to be happy. He deserved it.

Castiel had been standing at his counter staring into space thinking about the last evening. He had thought it had gone well. He hadn't embarrassed or scared Dean off with his gayness and he thought that maybe they could be friends. He'd like that, though he knew deep down he wanted so much more he knew that wasn't going to happen. Not with Dean being straight. He was also glad that Dean wasn't overtly flirty with Charlie last evening, he didn't think he could have stood to watch that. (Not something you will ever have to worry about Cassie.) When the door to his shop bust open he looked up with surprise to see Gabriel standing there looking slightly wild.

"Hey Cassie." Gabriel shouted the best he could when out of breath.

"Gabriel. Are you all right?" Castiel asked getting a bit worried about his brother.

"What? No I'm fine." Gabriel replied with a wave of his hand as he closed the door much more gently than he'd opened it.

"Very well. What do you want?" Castiel asked. He really would like to go back to his dreaming.

"Thought I'd come over. Discuss last night." Gabriel replied jumping up to sit on the counter.

Castiel just raised his eyebrows at his brother. What happened last night that was so important that Gabriel wanted to discuss it? Then his eyes went wide as a thought came to him. Did he make it obvious he was interested in Dean? (Umm, yeah.) Oh no what if Dean realised? He wouldn't want to be his friend if he thought he had a crush on him. (Don't worry Cas, Dean is a dumbass and completely missed it. Mores the pity.)

"What about last night?" He finally asked his brother cautiously.

"Well Dean-" Gabriel started but before he could continue Castiel cut him off.

"I do not want to discuss Dean Winchester Gabriel." He replied firmly picking up some books that needed to go on the shelf.

Gabriel watched his brother walk away seriously confused. What the hell? With that thought he got of the counter and followed Castiel.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because he is of no interest to me." Castiel lied not looking at Gabriel.

"Oh please. Don't give me that bullshit Cassie. Tell me the truth." Gabriel said planting himself in the middle of the aisle they had walked down so Castiel couldn't get round him before he continued. "You like him. Don't tell me you don't I'm your brother and I'm not blind. So what is the real issue here?" He asked crossing his arms.

Castile looked at Gabriel and debated his options, he could try to push past him but he knew that would end with them fighting. And even if he did get past, Gabriel did not give up easily. His best option to get him to stop talking about Dean was to tell him the truth.

"The fact that I like him is immaterial, Dean is straight Gabriel." He snapped pushing past Gabriel back into the main area of the shop.

Gabriel was so shocked that he just stood there, Cassie thought Dean was straight? The same Dean who couldn't keep his eyes off of him for like a minute last night? What the-

With that Gabriel turned and marched back to Castiel grabbing his arm and turning him to face him.

"Dean Winchester is as straight as you are Cassie. He also has a major jonesing for you." He snapped trying to get it through his brother's thick skull. And here he had always thought that Cassie was the clever one out of the two of them.

"No he likes Charlie." Castiel replied adamantly.

"Charlie?!" Gabriel screeched, where in heavens name did Castiel get that freakin' idea from?

"Yes. He sat opposite her last night so he could-" but Gabriel cut him off with a wave of a hand.

"No Cassie. He. Sat. next. To. You." He said slowly, hoping to get it into his brother head.

"But..." Castiel started.

"No, no buts Cassie." Gabriel said grabbing both of his brother's arms and making him look him in the eye. "Dean Winchester is gay. And Dean Winchester likes you. A lot." He said completely seriously.

Castiel didn't know what to think. He had very rarely ever heard his brother's voice like that. So sure. But if that was true then-

At that point Castiel eyes widened and his jaw dropped open as everything slot into place in his mind. Dean liked him. Dean freaking Winchester liked him. He felt like shouting from the roof tops. But if that was the Case why hadn't he asked him out? Dean didn't give the impression of being the kind of guy who was backwards in coming forwards, so why hadn't he asked him? And why did he go all weird around Charlie? It didn't make sense.

Gabriel stood there and watched the realisation dawn on his brother's face and let out an inward sigh of relief. Finally Castiel was with the program. He had done his part. Next bit was up to Sammy boy. (It seriously is. Though think he might need some help.)

"Why?" Castiel finally turned to Gabriel to ask confusing his brother.

"Why what? Why does he like you? Beats me. Guy obviously has no taste." Gabriel replied smirking at Cassie. He done with being serious.

"No" Castiel replied hitting his brother on the arm before continuing quietly not looking into his brothers eyes as he asked. "Why doesn't he ask me out?"

"I don't know Cassie. But you could always ask him." Gabriel replied smiling at how awkward his brother was behaving

At that thought Castiel just looked at Gabriel with wide eyes. He could ask Dean out? Hell no, He thought terrified by the idea. (Oh well, at least he finally realised Dean-o likes him right?)

That night Charlie received an email from Gabriel.

Hey Queenie,

Seemed little bro was under some crazy assumption that Dean-o was straight and liked Charlie. Think I've corrected him so hopefully it'll all go better next time.

You favourite baker

Gabriel

Having read it she smiled that Gabriel had managed to sort that out, though where Castiel got the impression that Dean liked her from was a complete mystery. Oh well, one down, one to go she thought as she waited anxiously for a reply from Sam Winchester.

(Looks like Gabriel has had some luck. Let's see how Sammy does shall we?)
