Our love is only as strong as each other.

Visiting Heaven

As the three of us talked, I kept glancing at my phone. I wanted Gabe to call or to just show up. I haven't seen him in a couple days. I missed him. 

"You sure are antsy." Dean said with a laugh. I glared at him and scrambled to grab my phone when it started to ring.

"Hello." I said breathless. It wasn't Gabe though.

"Hello Ms. This is the Sheriff. We have a new kill. I can text you the address." The sheriff said. I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Of course. Be right there. Thank you for your call." I sighed as soon as I hung up and started to dress into my professional wear once again. 

"Dean why don't you put on your monkey suit and join me. There is a new kill and I am pretty sure this is a witch that is collecting body parts." I yelled out of the bathroom door. I heard him grumble but get into his bag. 

"Cas if Gabe shows up will you tell him I had to work." I muttered as we left. Cas was reading on the bed but he glanced up and nodded. I sighed and got into the Impala. 

We rode to the address in relative silence. I say relative because Dean had his music playing. When we pulled up I saw the amount of police and immediately entered my investigative mode. I stepped out and went straight to the trunk and lightly knocked so Dean knew to open it. I heard the pop and pulled open the trunk and grabbed my gun and notepad. Along with my badge and Deans stuff. I slammed the trunk shut getting a glare from Dean. 

"Here are your creds and you gun. Looks like something changes again." I muttered as I handed all Dean's stuff to him. He took them without another word.

"Hello Ms. Who is this?" the sheriff asked. 

"This is my partner. He just got into town today from some training seminar in Virginia." I lied expertly. 

Dean shook the sheriffs hand and we walked into the gruesome crime scene. I was having a hard time concentrating on what the sheriff was telling me and not what I was seeing. The body was mangled with the intestines pulled apart and spread around him. 

"What was missing?" I asked while I wrote down the things I smelt and the color of the candle wax on the leaves. 

"Actually we found the rest of the body parts here. Plus a finger." The sheriff said. I whirled around and despite my churning stomach I took a closer look at the decaying body. I saw the old marks of lipstick on his eyes and after very carefully moving the skin so I could see the marks of protection on the body. I very lightly drew them in my book with some lines not quite connected. I haven't seen marks like these since I was being tortured in hell.

"I think I need to do some research. If you find anything else please text me the details sheriff." I muttered. Dean was a little surprised but went along with it. I had to take a deep breath when we started to drive away and when Dean turned on the music I turned down the volume slightly. I rubbed my head hoping Dean would not ask about it and would just think I had a headache. 

"Lex, what the hell is wrong?" he asked. I closed my eyes and just shook my head. When Crowley found out about the torture he healed me and took away the scars to help me forget. It did not help. 

"Look. I am not going to drop it so just tell me." He insisted. I glanced over at him before making a point of turning away. I did not want to talk about it. Dean just grumbled and pulled into the parking lot of the motel. 

"Fine. Whatever. I am taking Cas out to dinner. Want anything?" Dean asked. I shook my head and stepped out of the Impala. Dean grumbled behind me and then mentioned having to make a call. I just dismissively waved. 

When I stepped inside I smiled to Gabe before heading straight to a shower. I played some music while I attempted to take a quick shower using the songs as my time keeper. Only three played before I was stepping out and drying off. I quickly dressed so I could go see Gabe. 

When I stepped out of the bathroom I glanced around the room to see three pairs of eyes staring at me. I could tell they were just talking about me and I tried so hard not to groan out loud. 

"Gabe, I missed you." I whispered, suddenly very self conscious. He smiled and shooed Dean and Cas out to dinner. It actually made me laugh a little to see Deans annoyed expression.  

"I am glad to see you smile.I heard you had a rough day today. Do you want to talk about it? he asked. Immediately i could feel tears fill my eyes. I did not want to let them fall so I closed my eyes and pushed against the tight feeling in my throat.  

"Okay. I am going to take that as a huge no. So on a completely different note can we go somewhere. I do not want to spend my night with you in some dingy motel." he asked. I opened my eyes and thought about it. I could leave for the night. I slowly nodded mulling it over in my head. Gabe watched waiting for the silent battle going on in my head to end. 

"You know what. Fuck it. Yes. Lets do something tonight. Just let me text Dean so he knows." I said. Gabe chuckled and waited while I sent a text to Dean. 

Hey. Me and Gabe are going out tonight. Do not be alarmed 

I got a response almost immediately. 

Okay. Be safe and use protection :)

I looked up at Gabe and sighed. 

"Why does Dean relate everything to sex. Seriously." I said shaking my head. Gabe just laughed before grabbing my hand and us disappearing. When my feet touched ground I squeezed Gabe's hand and paused before moving. I needed to take a second to focus on keeping my food down for the second time today. I had my eyes closed and was trying to breath without throwing up when I felt arms encircle me. 

"I know you hate flying. Although this time it is worth it I promise." he whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes and looked up into his beautiful honey eyes. 

"I am just tired of feeling like I am going to lose my lunch. Most times when you take me somewhere it is worth it." I whispered back. His smell surrounded me and I was felt like I was in heaven. Gabe smiled and his eyes flicked to my lips causing my heart rate to jump to an incredible rate. 

"You know you are absolutely beautiful." Gabe muttered before closing the gap. Our lips met and he placed his hands on my hip and very gently pulled me closer to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and tangled my fingers in his golden hair. When we did pull away for air I managed to look around and notice how nice of a place we were standing in. 

"Where are we?" I muttered. Gabe chuckled and replied with a simple sentence. 

"Welcome to my home in Heaven."
