I can never, ever look at whipped cream again without blushing. That Archangel has a very active imagination! It was the third day after we got the bunker to ourselves, and I was diligently washing my hair. Having an angelic boyfriend with a sweettooth is a challenge. You get sticky in all sorts of ways and places. The front door to the bunker slammed shut and Cas' voice called out. "Gabriel! We need to talk!" I bit my lip and made sure I got dressed in no time. "Cassie! Boys! Everything go ok?" Gabe was his usual, chipper self and even I knew it was a farce. "Why, Gabriel?" Was all Cas asked, his voice dull in resignation. "Why what, brother dearest?" The door slammed again and a heavy footfall tromped down the metal staircase. "Why the Hell did you mess with us like that, asshat?" Dean... I grinned. "Dean-o! What language..." More footsteps on the stairs. "Really, Gabriel?" I hurried towards the main area. "Sam-a-lam! You all seem grouchy. What gives?" I stepped next to Gabe and he winked at me. That did it. I whacked the back of his head with my wing, causing Cas to bite his lip amusedly, Dean to grin and Sam to snort. "Apologise, Gabe. And explain. Now." I said sternly. He looked at me, faux-hurt expression in place. I just raised an eyebrow. "Or I will." He crossed his arms, daring me. I tilted my head. "Your call, angel." I turned to the others. "Hi guys. Sorry about that. It seems Gabe thought he and I needed some 'alonetime'." Gabriel rolled his eyes and his head back.

"HAH!" Dean burst out. "See Sammy? Told you!" Sam rolled his eyes. "Gabe, next time, ask." Cas glared at his brother. "Politely, Gabriel. Ask politely. You want us to be polite, do us the same courtesy. I swear, you're a child at times." Then he turned to me, his cerulean eyes serious yet soft. "Did he treat you right, Gwen?" I smiled and draped my wing over Gabe's shoulder. "Yeah he's great." Cas quirked his mouth in a quick smile. "Hm." he mused. "Guess I have a sister-in-law now..." Whoa! That statement made me blink. "Cassie..." Gabe actually sounded pleading, which... Hello uncalled for tingles. Cas smirked. "What? You cannot tell me that you are not 100% into this. You act jealous if she gets friendly with Sam or Dean, you fly off as soon as you think she needs you... Besides, when she's near, you try and fold her into your wings, every. time." Sam chuckled as Dean full on grinned. "Busted, Trickster..." Dean rumbled. "Well, I... ehm..." Gabe turned to me. "Gwenny..." I blinked. "Is that true?" He swallowed, ducking his head. I could still see the blush though. "Yes..." he almost whispered, not looking up. I couldn't. I wanted to tease him, but he looked so adorable... I pulled him into a hug and wrapped my wings around him too. "Good, 'cause I feel the same way." Cas looked away, as the Winchesters chuckled.

After a bit, Dean pointedly coughed. "As nice as all this fluff is, we got news, so settle down and buckle up." Curious, I parted with my Archangel. "News? What news?" Gabriel suddenly was all business too. He swung a chair around and sat in it, his arms on the back and his eyes alert. "I hope it's good news, 'cause I'm not in the mood for darkness and gloom." Cas ducked his head. "I'm sorry, Gabriel. It's about Gwen." Alertness shifted into full on alarm. "What about her?" I cocked my head in disbelief. Was he Seriously forgetting I was there? "We drove past her house on the way back. It's swarmed with demons." Gabe jumped up. "Crap!" I put my hands on his shoulders. "Calm down, Gabey. We all knew this was coming. It's why we trained so hard, isn't it?" Gabriel relaxed marginally. "Yeah, and you're in great shape." He leaned his head back against me. "I should know..." he added suggestively, wiggling his eyebrows. Dean chuckled. "You're back on track allright." Cas rolled his eyes. "Good. Now, can we get to planning?"
