Unknown Colours (Destiel/Sabriel)

26 - Reenactment

Gabriel woke up. Woah.

The day before he had been looking for Cassie to figure out a science equation. He'd sent Dean to find him...but hadn't seen either of them since. He figured they just forgot about him and went to hang out at the Winchester's house.

Gabe had eventually asked Michael for the science thing. Which Michael had figured out. Which was good because Gabriel needed it today for something very important.

Gabe jumped out of the bed and got ready for school in record time, grabbing a sucker as he did.

"Gabriel?" Becky asked. "You're up early."

"No I'm up at normal time, I'm just usually late," Gabriel said, noting that his other siblings were already up. "Where's Cassie?"

"Haven't seen him since yesterday, he's at the Winchester's right?"

Gabriel shrugged. "I saw him going home with Meg actually."

Becky narrowed her eyes. "Suspicious."

"Don't worry Mum, you've seen the two of them. They wouldn't do anything to hurt each other."

It was later that Gabriel actually started getting suspicious. Balthazar drove him to school, and while Sam was there, Dean wasn't.

"Hey Gabriel," Sam said awkwardly as he stood waiting for the Novak's. Gabriel...ignored him. "Gabe?"

Gabe just kept walking, as much as it pained him to do so, heading off to his first class, art. The same class he had those few weeks ago the day his life changed. And he had to do this perfectly, or it wouldn't work.

Sam gave him a weird and sad look as he watched him walk away and Gabe swallowed the lump in his throat, rounding a corner so he wouldn't have to see Sam anymore.

Oh and then he remembered Sam was in his art class.

Gabriel talked to the teacher, asking for a favour, and then sat down in his usual seat. Sam walked in a few minutes later, and walked over to his normal seat. Gabriel didn't glance his way, but could tell Sam was watching him curiously.

The class went on, and Gabriel stood up and left five minutes before the end, thanking the teacher as he did. He glanced and saw Sam watching him with confusion, but didn't respond in any way. It was hurting him not to do anything, but it had to be done.

Bobby had helped Gabriel out with this part, giving them a substitute teacher, Ellen, in science as an excuse for needing to do the same prac again. And Gabriel had offered to help set up.

He knew where everyone in the class usually worked, and at Sam's usual desk he switched out one of the chemicals. Ellen however saw, but he quickly explained why and she agreed with him, smiling as he said he just wanted his soulmate back.

As the bell actually went, Gabriel sat back at his desk, feet up on the table, and pulled out a sucker. Mirroring his actions from the last time. Except this time, the pranks were reversed.

Some people complained about having already done the prac, but Ellen ignored them. And then, Gabriel watched as Sam went to mix the chemicals...only to have it explode in his face.

"Sam Winchester, what did you do?" Ellen said as she looked at the mess Sam had made. Sam just looked in shock, and immediately glanced over to Gabriel. "You used the wrong chemical, where did you even get this?"

"I..."

"Sorry, that might be my fault," Gabriel said, and the entire class looked shocked at him owning up to a prank. "I must've put the wrong one out. I'm sorry."
