Snow Never Falls Alone | Sabriel Highschool AU

So Close

"What the hell are you doing?" Gabriel heard Sam say just a moment before he tumbled the rest of the way into Sam's room through the window. His head popped up, looking at the teen standing by the door and giving a shrug, motioning towards his house with a slightly wrinkled nose.

"Dean told me to get out. He and Cas are having a "date"," Gabriel replied, helpfully using air quotations for extra measure before pulling himself to his feet, "Wanna have a Netflix marathon?"

"The last time we had a Netflix marathon, we ended up watching every Sharknado," Sam retorted with a roll of his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest when Gabriel gave an apologetic chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck.

"In my defense, you just told me to put something on," Gabriel answered, grabbing Sam's hand and pulling him into the living room, "Besides, only the fourth one was too bad to actually watch. We had a lot of fun criticizing the first three."

Sam rolled his eyes at Gabriel's comment, but he didn't argue, propping beside Gabriel on the couch and throwing his feet onto the coffee table. Gabriel opted for curling up with his legs crossed, leaning against Sam's larger frame. Once they found themselves comfortable enough, Sam pulled up Netflix, scrolling through before settling on Lie to Me, a series they started a few weeks ago but never got around to watching past the second season quite yet.

They were a part of the way through their second episode when Mary walked by, a slight huff on her face as she dug through her purse for her keys, "Hey, Sam, I'm going out for a while with some friends," She mentioned, glancing up and narrowing her eyes a little when she saw that Gabriel was there, "I'll be back in a few hours."

"Sure, have fun, Mom," Sam replied, not even looking at her as he kept his eyes on the show in front of them. Gabriel glanced between them a couple times, moving a little closer to Sam before focusing on the episode, though he listened to the steps that Mary made moving through the hallway before the front door opened and then closed.

"I'm going to rewind it since I didn't get to hear a single thing they said," Sam grumbled, annoyance written on his features as he pulled up the video menu, scrolling back to the appropriate time before pushing play and letting it load again. Gabriel sat in silence, staring at the screen before glancing around the house.

"Your mom left," Gabriel observed, earning a strange look from Sam when he turned back to the taller teen.

"Yeah, she did..." Sam answered warily, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion as he watched Gabriel.

"So we're alone?" Gabriel prompted, keeping his voice casual despite the way his heart was beginning to beat faster, a small smile reaching his face at the thought of being alone with Sam.

"Yeah, I thought that was obvious," Sam replied, obviously not getting what Gabriel was thinking. When Gabriel didn't answer, he just shook his head, looking back to the screen and rewinding it for the second time when he realized that he had missed the entire conversation again.

Gabriel took the opportunity to shift a little, pretending to get comfortable in his seat. His innocent ploy might have been a bit strained in performance by the way he was beginning to blush as he brushed against Sam a little more, but Sam didn't seem to even notice as he kept focused on the show, smiling when the main character sassed another character.
