Online Ties (Destiel/Sabriel)

13 - Closer

Sam was woken to the sound of his phone going off. He grabbed it from where it sat and saw that it was a call from Gabriel, and smiled softly to himself.

"Hey Gabe," he said, answering the Skype call. There was silence for a moment.

"Did you...just wake up?"

"Yeah, why?" Sam tilted the camera so he could see Gabe on screen. Gabe was looking at the camera with wide eyes.

"Uh...your um...your voice goes all..." Gabe trailed off, and Sam noticed that he was blushing. Sam smirked.

"That's what you get for waking me up," Sam said.

"Hey I'm not complaining," Gabe said, smirking. "Any other way I could get your voice to sound like that?"

"Oh my god," Sam said, putting a hand over his face while smiling. Gabe just laughed.

"You know your screen is darkness, any chance I could actually see you?"

"Fiine," Sam muttered, standing up to go put a light on. Gabe's eyes lit up as he saw Sam on screen. "What time is it?"

"Showtime!"

"Was that...a Hamilton reference?"

"Yes!" Gabe was smiling widely. "Hamilton and Laurens were so gay for each other."

"Really?"

"Have you read the damn letters they wrote to each other?"

"No..."

"Oh my god go and read these right now."

Sam was smiling as he went and got his laptop, searching up a certain John Laurens while Gabe started singing Hurricane quietly. Sam glanced at him as he sang.

"You can sing," Sam stated.

"I guess," Gabe said, shrugging. "Maybe in another universe I could've been in a band."

(Totally not foreshadowing my next fic)

Sam got onto John Laurens wikipedia page and read the letter that Hamilton wrote to Laurens. "Oh my god. That's gay. That's like, more gay than us."

"I know right!" Gabe said. "Wait go back, you know Hamilton?"

"It's a great musical, of course I do," Sam said, smiling.

"Hey Sammy, be the Laurens to my Hamilton?"

"Yes," Sam said, smiling as he looked at Gabe. Gabe just smiled back at him.

They talked for a while longer, and at some point Gabe ended up just lying on his bed while Sam was sitting at his laptop writing. Because he did still have school assignments but meh.

"You know," Gabe said. "I really wish I could hug you."

"You'll be able to," Sam said, looking at Gabe.

"Yeah but...you're so far away Sammy." Gabe was frowning slightly, not looking at the camera. "I just..."

"I know how you feel," Sam said softly. "It's not that much longer."

"Will it be this year?"

"Well...no, but probably around January next year."

"That's next year."

"I mean, it is currently November."

Gabe went silent for a second. "Crap that's two months away. That's not that long." He sat up abruptly. "Sammy that's only two months away!" Sam smiled as he watched Gabe's growing excitement. "Oh my god I'll get to see you in two months..." Sam just smiled at Gabe on the screen, wishing he had the ability to pull him into his arms right now.
