"Stop moving so much Sammy!"

"You're the one taking so long!"

Dean set the scissors down, "Do you want me to shave your head?" Sam just crossed his arms with a pout and Dean nodded, picking the scissors back up. "That's what I thought."

He chuckled to himself as he cut some more of Sam's hair, "Y'know for a kid who wanted me to do this to impress his new crush you sure are making it hard."

"She's not my crush.."

"Uh huh sure." He chuckled again, "Who is this chick anyway?"

"She's not a 'chick' Dean. She's a girl.. a really pretty girl who probably doesn't even know I exist."

"No way, of course she does Sammy you're a Winchester- we might not be the best at a lot of things but charm? That's easy."

"I don't know Dean.. it's stupid."

"No you're being stupid- you seriously need to get some confidence Sammy." He snipped a couple more times and then he was done. He set the scissors back down and patted Sam on the shoulders, turning him to face the mirror. "What do ya think? Not bad huh?"

Sam admired his new hair and met his brothers eyes in the mirror, "Yeah.. thanks Dean."

"Don't mention it. Now c'mon you're learning how to make pasta tonight."

Sam paced around Gabriel's bedroom. Gabriel was the only person he wanted to see after Dean ran off from their house. "Ugh Gabe! I feel like the worst brother in history of brothers!"

"Don't you think that's going a bit far Sam-a-lam? I mean you didn't even do anything wrong."

"That isn't the point Gabe!" Sam exclaimed, "Some old skeeve touched my brother when I was in the same house and I didn't even know! He's been suffering in silence for years!"

"Look Sam you said Dean was ten when it happened right?"

"Well yeah.."

"Which means you were like five- you couldn't of done anything."

"Wow really making me feel better here Gabe."

Gabriel sighed, "You know that's not what I mean." Sam sat with him, "Yeah I know I'm sorry Gabriel. It's just he's still gone and I have no clue where he is which just makes me feel worse."

"I'm sure he's okay Sam."

"Yeah.. I'm sorry Gabe."

"For what?"

"Coming over here and just dumping all of this on you."

Gabriel shrugged, "It's fine trust me, I could listen to you just talk for hours about anything and I'd be just fine." A moment of silence passed before he realised what he'd just said and slapped a hand over his mouth while Sam awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry.."

Sam chuckled, "It's alright." He was suddenly reminded of the other dilemma that he was going through. He still hadn't told Gabriel or anyone for that matter about Sarah yet. Which was weird because it wasn't like he and Gabe were dating or had even talked about having feelings for each other but it still felt well.. weird.

But maybe now was a better time than ever. "I actually wanted to tell you about something crazy that happened to me a few days ago."

"Oh yeah?"

Sam nodded, "Y'know Sarah Blake?"

"Yeah I know her, she's in my chess club."

"Well we're in the same class and so we kinda got paired together for a project and she came over to my house and we kinda sorta kissed..?" Well that and made out after 'working' but he didn't feel like Gabe had to know that.

"You and Sarah Blake?" Gabriel tried to ignore the feeling of his heart squeezing. "Are you two dating?"

"No! It- it was just the kiss- well I think.. she asked me out next weekend. I said yes."

Gabriel stood up trying to subtly distance himself from Sam. "That's.. wow. Good for you."

"Gabe-"

"Sam it's not like we're anything- you can like who you want I don't get to be jealous." Gabriel tried to really mean it. He was disappointed hell yeah but Sam sounded excited that a cute girl liked him, and he wasn't going to get in the way of that.

"Really? You're not?" Why was Sam disappointed? Why did he kind of want Gabriel to be upset? "Yeah I'm not, Sarah's a really nice girl." Gabriel cleared his throat. "So where are you taking her?"

Sam shrugged, "She said she wanted to plan it but I dunno, I'm a bit nervous- I don't want her to go all out, I've never been on a date before and I'm not really good around rich people." 

"Just be yourself Sam, she likes you for that right?"

"Yeah.. yeah you're right I'm being crazy." He gave Gabriel a soft smile. "Thanks for being so cool about this Gabe."

"Yeah.. anytime Sam."
