I was sitting at the table with Lilith, she was drawing something. Dean was back at the hospital, he had received a call to come quickly.
I took care of Lilith, I had grown very fond of her over the past few weeks.
"Can you give me the red pen?"
I smiled and handed it to her.
"What are you drawing?"
She immediately pulled the picture away, holding it in front of her belly and turned away slightly.
"You mustn't see that yet"
"Then you mustn't see mine either"
I quickly pulled my picture away as well.
"You idiot, I've already seen it."
I scowled and we both laughed very loudly.
A knock came from the bunker door.
At first I thought I was imagining it, but it repeated and Lilith stared there.
I stayed seated, not expecting anyone.
But the knocking was getting louder and more dominant.
"Sam, open it up"
She looked at me confused and played with her long brown hair. Finally I got up and walked in the direction of the loud, annoying knock.
Annoyed, I jerked open the door and looked into it the face of a smiling man.
"Oh, Finally."
He scurried past me and went down the stairs.
I just stood there, mouth open, following him hesitantly.
"What-Why-"
There was no answer, he sat down and he saw the picture which I painted.
He laughed and rolled his eyes.
"You're such a softie"

Lilith glared at him and picked up the pens that were standing next to him.
"Who are you? You weren't invited in"
I immediately waved to get her attention to reassure her that it was okay.
I didn't succeed, she continued to look at him as if she were looking into his soul.
He leaned back a bit and looked at me helplessly.
I loved seeing him so overwhelmed with his usual brilliant performance, so I crossed my arms and just watched. Before I could get my popcorn, the bunker door opened again and Dean entered.
Dean stopped and hesitated before running down and pulling Gabriel up.

"I didn't think you two would live together,"
Gabriel mocked.
"I know you."
Confused, he pulled himself out of the grip and looked at Dean.
"From?"
"From the performance, you were there"
Dean looked skeptical and showed Lilith a
go-now-rather-in-your-room movement.
"Once"
"The first and last time and now you get out of here right now"
Dean sounded very upset, what kind of problem did he have again?
But before anyone could say anything, Dean went out again. Surprised, Gabriel looked at me and pointed in the direction of Dean,
„pretty brave"
I excused Dean and we sat down again.
He explained to me that we hadn't made an appointment and that he wanted to clarify that.

A few hours passed, we talked and laughed a lot.
I had fun. More than the past few months with Dean and the others.
We were about to go eat something with Lilith when suddenly Dean and someone else stood in front of us. I hadn't even seen them.
Lilith jumped into the arms of the guy wearing a light colored trench coat, was that Castiel?
There was a loud bang as Dean threw the apparently ton-heavy bags on the floor, he had carried them all alone.
Gabriel came out of the bathroom, before I could warn him he walked to me.
And I looked straight into horrified blue eyes.
The dark haired one letting go of Lilith.
Before I knew it, Dean yelled,
"I said when I'm back, he should be gone"
Gabriel winced and then saw the two.
He took a step back and looked back and forth in disbelief.
"I thought you were dead"
I didn't expect that, Dean knew him and he knew Dean too?
What was this?
Dean suddenly struck and I tried to squeeze between the two.
I yelled at Dean and pulled Gabriel to me,
I immediately placed myself in front of him and walked a few steps away from Dean.
Castiel hadn't moved a bit.
Dean pointed to Gabriel and said uncomfortably calmly,
"He wanted to kill him, he fucking wanted to kill him."
I immediately backed away from Gabriel, now I was completely overwhelmed.
They continued to argue for a while and I couldn't help but just to stand by.
Good thing Lilith ran away earlier.

The discussion came to an end, Castiel said something and they both looked at him.
Gabriel replied really spitefully, I never thought he was such an ass. We all just stood there, nobody said anything, obviously overwhelmed with the situation. Finally Castiel turned and went to the door.
Dean followed him and they both went back out of the bunker.
The silence was unbearable, nobody said anything.
The tension was already visible.
"I should go"
I quickly grabbed his arm.
"You explain this to me, now."
He looked at me desperately, but finally sat down. He put his hands in front of his face and took a deep breath.
"Castiel is my brother, I got a call sometime ago, as mentioned earlier"
I had already thought so, but I saved myself a stupid saying.
"We had a lot of fights, since it happened he's a different person. He- He used to be full of life and talked like a waterfall. It hurts to see what has become of him, he can't let go and it's driving me crazy."
he looked me straight in the eyes.
I had to look away quickly, but I still had a question. "Why are you being so mean to him?"
Silence.
"I don't know, it just makes me so mad, he gave up painting and writing, I'm desperate Sam. I thought
I lost him. I wanted to arouse his anger with my sayings so that he could get over his trauma"
I immediately burst out laughing sarcastically.
"You know it just does the opposite? He looked pretty hurt"
Gabriel got up and wiped his pants smooth, that was probably a quirk of him.
"I gotta go now"
„Wait"
I stood in front of him and smiled, he sure was an ass but I still liked him.
I put a hand on his shoulder.
,,Your jacket"
He quickly grabbed it and just walked out.
We hadn't made a new appointment again.
It probably wasn't as bad as it made it out to be.
But i wondered what happened that castiel changed so much.
I went to dinner with Lilith, just the two of us.
She was shy and asked me what was going on.
She was too young.
So I lied to her.
It wasn't that bad anyway.
Right ?
