Chapter 12: Impromptu Proposal pt2

"Sam can we talk?- like super secret brother talk?"

Sam frowned at him "Dean are you okay?" Dean gave Sam a pleading stare and his brother caved "Okay- okay, let's go upstairs"

When they got to Dean and Cas' room Dean didn't say anything, he just..paced, while Sam watched in mild amusement before getting bored "Dean!- what is wrong?- you look really spooked man-"

"I did something bad.." Dean admitted finally slowing down to stand before Sam "Like really bad"

"Woah, Dean- what did you do?"

"I cheated on Cas"

Gabriel watched Sam be pulled upstairs by Dean and scoffed at them "That was weird" He turned back to his brother "So Cassie marriage huh?- are you sure that you're ready for that big a commitment?"

Castle nodded almost instantly "Dean is..different- we are different for each other yet somehow we're perfect..I've never ever felt this way for anyone" Hw shrugged lightly "I don't even think that love is a strong enough word for what we are..what we have"

Gabriel eyed him "How about soulmate?"

Castiel nodded after a while "Yes I think that works better" Gabriel smiled patting Cas on the shoulder "Well I'm all for this whole engaged at eighteen thing but only if I can be the bestman?" He wiggled his brows suggestively

Cas frowned "Actually I was going to ask Lucifer-"

"Cas!" Gabriel gasped dramatically and his brother laughed "I'm kidding- I'm kidding!- of course you're my best man Gabriel"

Gabriel smiled sweetly "Good because I did not want to have to kill Luci"

"Gabriel!"

"I'm just kidding Cassie!"

Cas sat down at the table and Gabriel frowned at him, his grin fading "Why the sad face?"

Cas sighed, tracing small circles in the marble table with the tip of his finger "Do you..do you think that my parents would be proud?..be happy for me?"

Gabriel sat next to him taking Castiel's hand as his brother began to cry a little, his parents were a sore spot for him "Castiel" Gabriel said softly, he rarely if ever called his brother by his full name "Of course, they would be so happy that you found Dean" Gabriel eyed his brother taking a breath "Y'know Luci met them once or twice"

Cas picked up his head "What?" He never knew that, "He was like six years old- they'd come over and your mother was five months along with you, they'd looked so happy, told Lucifer he'd have a little cousin soon"

"Lucifer had gotten into a fight with Mom about him tracking mud in the house and he asked your mother if she'd get mad at you for something like that"

"What'd she say?"

"That having a child was the one thing she never wanted to mess up, that she'd love you unconditionally- no matter what"

Cas' mouth hung open, his adoptive parents always told him how much he looked like his mother but they never talked about how his mother was before she'd given birth to him

"Cassie?"

Cas melted instinctively into his older brothers arms and Gabriel accepted the gesture hugging him back "I know buddy..I know"

Sam's mouth fell open "What the hell do you mean you cheated on Cas?!" He yelled in a hushed tone "You would never cheat on him!"
