Unknown Colours (Destiel/Sabriel)

6 - Gabe and Cas Aren't Idiots

Gabriel met up with Castiel at school the next day. Castiel looked tired but had a slight smile none the less.

"Sleep well with Deano?" Gabe asked and Castiel looked at him shocked. "Jo showed me the picture."

Castiel sighed. "How many people know?"

"Not too many, just enough to annoy you," Gabriel replied. Castiel suddenly pulled something out of one of his pockets, passing it to Gabriel. "What's this?"

"It's from the person pranking you," Castiel said.

"Do you know who it is?" Gabriel asked quickly, his eyes lighting up with hope.

"Yes, but I'm going to let you figure it out for yourself," Castiel said, smiling slightly. Gabriel glared at him and then looked at the ping pong ball.

"What's the point in this?" he asked.

"No idea," Castiel said. "He just told me to give it to you." Gabriel sighed, then noticed the ping pong ball had a crack going through it, obviously glued back together. He tried to pull it apart but couldn't. He tried harder and yet still couldn't. Eventually he just threw it as hard as he could at the locker opposite him, and it broke as it made contact.

Gabriel ran over to it and picked up the two pieces, as well as the paper that had fallen.

"Just more notes?" Castiel asked.

"And something else," Gabe said. He held out the small origami moose on his palm, showing it to Castiel. Castiel smiled.

"It's a hint," he said. And then walked off, leaving Gabriel confused.

Gabriel unfolded the note. 'I've been at every prank. And come on, how many people around here get called moose a lot?'

"No one?" Gabriel muttered to himself. He pocketed the note and carefully placed the tiny moose inside his locker, then headed off to his first class.

Sam watched as Gabriel got the ping pong ball from Castiel and inspected it. It took him a few minutes to figure out he had to open it, and then several more to actually open the thing. Gabriel found the note and the moose, talked to Castiel for a bit and then walked off. As Gabriel turned though, Sam thought for a second that he saw a flash of something, something not as grey as the rest of his surroundings. Maybe something a little bit golden.

He shrugged it off as a trick of the light and went off to his first class.

"Hey Dean."

Dean turned to see Lisa standing behind him. He smiled up at her then pulled out the chair beside him for her.

"Hey Lisa," he replied.

"So you said you'd think about that whole soulmate thing," Lisa said slowly. "Any conclusion yet?"

"Not really," Dean said. "I mean, you could be lying. But you could be telling the truth. I have no way of telling."

"Wow you really were drunk weren't you?" Lisa said, chuckling a bit. "You don't remember a thing?"

"I remember blue," Dean said. "But that's it."

"I had a blue dress on," Lisa said. "Could that've been it?"

"Maybe. Charlie said eye colour but it could've been anything."

"Well, when you make up your mind, I'll be waiting," Lisa said, winking at Dean before walking off, swinging her hips as she walked. Dean watched her go, totally not focusing on a certain area, and turned back to see Charlie giving him the death stare.
