Take The Heart I Never Wanted to Give

7

Gabriel groaned sleepily when a sudden influx of sunlight beat mercilessly against his eyelids. He barely peeked open one of his eyes but immediately closed them with a hiss of pain when sunlight assaulted his sensitive eyes. He turned around in the soft bed, facing away from the sunlight and rubbed eyes to get some of the sleep crust out of them.

'Wait. How the hell did I get in a bed?' He thought suddenly.

"You fell asleep so I just moved you to my bed. I opted to sleep on the floor." A voice said behind him.

Gabriel turned back over to see Sam standing a couple feet away from the bed with a small smile on his face. He had no shirt on which gave Gabriel a perfect view of his washboard abs which Gabriel somewhat shamelessly admired. His eyes unconsciously traveled down to his waist, which, to Gabriel's hidden disappointment, was covered by sweat pants that were slung low around his hips. There was a towel wrapped around his neck, catching the water droplets that fell from the ends of his long hair.

'Good God, he's a fucking genetic freak,' Gabriel thought somewhat angrily, 'Respects omegas as human beings AND he's hot?'

"You think I'm hot?" Sam said with a small chuckle.

Gabriel looked up incredulously at Sam, "Are you fucking psychic too?"

Sam shook his head with a smirk, "Nope. You said all that out loud."

Gabriel's face heated up in embarrassment when he realized his sleep addled brain must have forgotten to keep his inner thoughts private, "S-Sorry, I didn't mean to—"

"It's fine, Gabe," Sam chuckled, "I appreciate the compliment."

Gabriel chuckled nervously with him, his hand going to run the back of his neck, "You're welcome, I guess."

"Well, um, I'll let you get showered and dressed. I moved your trunks to my closet so you can find your clothes in there. We gotta be downstairs in like half an hour to prepare for...for the ceremony." Sam said, murmuring the last few words.

"Oh. Right," Gabriel said quietly, "Totally forgot."

Sam forced a tight smile, "Yeah. Um, breakfast is in the dining hall when you come down. So, I'll see you then," With that, he quickly left the room to give Gabriel some privacy.

In all honesty, Gabriel had completely forgotten about the bonding ceremony. The conversation he had with Sam had pushed all thoughts of the ceremony to the very back burner of his mind. Now all his concerns and worries about the ceremony had come flooding back to the front of his mind at once.

'But would it really be as bad as you claim it to be?' A voice asked him in his mind.

Gabriel really didn't know how to answer that question. Would it? Sam didn't seem like an abusive and cold hearted alpha. In fact, Sam had seemed like the kind of alpha he believed to not exist outside of Castiel: kind, gentle, genuine, and loving. Then again, Gabriel knew just how deceiving an alpha could be. He learned that the hard way with his mother; the seemingly poise and gentle faced woman who actually had the venom and bite of a snake. Gabriel wanted so badly to believe that Sam was a good and true alpha. He wanted so badly not to listen to the other nagging voice in his head telling him that Sam would change once they were officially mated, that he would become abusive just like every alpha he's ever encountered outside of Castiel. Gabriel shook his head and made his way to the bathroom to shower. It wasn't like he could stop this from happening if he wanted to. All he could do now was trust what his heart was telling him; and right now his heart was telling him to trust in Sam.

"GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!" An obnoxious voice boomed through the dining hall.

Dean, Sam, Castiel, and Michael all looked up from their breakfast in annoyance to see Lucifer strutting into the dining hall with a shit eating grin plastered on his face, Crevan following closely behind him.
