Christmas Short (Supernatural)

Winchester and Angel Christmas

    Sam and Dean hadn't even thought much about Christmas until Cas started talking about it. Sam thought it would be a good idea for them to take a break and celebrate the holiday. Dean disagreed at first but after a few days of Sam and Cas, mostly Cas, bugging him he gave in.

    Sam suggest they cut down a tree to use. They left the bunker late in the afternoon, they took the impala. The car roared down the dirt road as the sunset.

    The two men and angel got out of Baby and walked towards some smaller ever green pine trees. Dean didn't pay much attention to the trees, he watches his brother as he tripped over a tree root. He held in a laugh as he helped him up.

    "Watch your step there." Dean said, as Sam got to his feet. "Jerk." Sam said. "Bitch." Dean replied. They continued walking, noticing that Cas hadn't stopped.

    Cas was walking a couple feet ahead of the brother, when he felt someone grab his shoulder from behind. He quickly drew his angel blade and turned around, holding the blade to the creatures throat.

    "Well hello to you to Cassie." Castiel's brother, Gabriel, said letting go of Cas' shoulder.

    "Gabriel." Cas said, Dean and Sam were now standing with the angel brothers. "What are you three knuckle heads doing here?" Gabriel said, looking up at them.

    "What are you doing here?" Sam asked, looking at the short man that stood beside Castiel. "I came to see you Sammy. Merry Christmas." Gabriel answered, with a wink.

    "We're looking for a tree. Sam's idea." Castiel responded.

    "Have fun." Gabriel said loudly, not wanting to help. "See you later." He said quietly to Sam before snapping his fingers and disappearing.

    They found a tree shortly after Gabriel left. The tree was the perfect height for them to carry. It was about a foot taller than Sam. Sam started swinging the ax at the tree.

    "I can help Sam." Cas said, stepping forward. "No. It's fine Cas, I've got it." Sam answered, taking his outer jacket off.

    It took Sam a little over 5 minutes to get the tree cut down. The whole time Dean tried offering him help, only to be refused everytime. Castiel was helping with out Sam, or Dean, noticing. Everytime Sam hit the tree with the ax he made the tree weaken.

   Dean and Sam dragged the tree back to the impala, Cas didn't bother helping them. When they got to the impala Dean laid a tarp out over the roof, while Sam and Cas tied the tree up. Cas lifted the tree and set it on the tarp that sat on the roof. Sam and Dean tied the tree down on to the roof.

    When they got back to the bunker the tree got set up, this time they let Cas deal with it.

    "What are we suppose to decorate the tree with?" Dean asked, Cas disappeared then reappeared with box's of Christmas decorations. The angel set down two large box's full of decorations.

    Gabriel showed up as they finished with the lights and garlin. The lights lit up red and white, like candy canes, and the garlin was silver.

    "Aww look at you guys setting up a Christmas tree. Just like a little family." Gabriel said, causing Sam to jump around to face him. "It's not very Christmasy in here though..." He snapped his fingers together and the bunker was fully decorated, and the tree was finished. "That's better." He added. The Winchesters looked around noticing Cas was missing.

    "Hey where's Castiel?" Dean asked, looking directly at the arc angel. Gabriel just looked up at the tree. The two brothers followed his gaze.
