Supernatural in Real Life 5

Chapter 47

*Casually starts writing this chapter two weeks after I published the last one*
A/N So I legit have nothing to write for the next month or so in story time so... Giant time skips so I can start writing for real.

"Why not?" Alexus whines like a child. Well, she kind of is a child, so that would make sense.
"Because," Rob explains for the umpteenth time that day, "Michael doesn't trust me. He wouldn't hear me out like you did. It would be a kill-or-be-killed type of thing, and I guarantee I would make it out alive."
"But I don't wanna have to keep meeting you in secret!" Alexis complains.
They've been doing so once or twice a week for the last few weeks, and though Michael hasn't found out yet, he may start to get suspicious eventually. Alexis wants to introduce them in a friendly way before they meet in a more hostile setting, but Rob has been very vocal in his disagreement.
"Just give it time," Rob replies. "Eventually, I will be able to see your friends again, when things are... less tense between us. Hopefully, we will all be friends as well."
"Even Lucifer?" she asks skeptically, recalling all the things Rob has said about him.
Rob hesitates, a brief moment that she almost can't process, before saying cautiously, "Lucifer and I have a troubled past, that's true. But I believe we will be able to put that behind us one day."
"You really think the devil is capable of forgiveness?" Alexis asks dubiously.
"Honestly, no," he admits. "I don't think he will ever forget it, just as he will never forget how much more powerful I am than him. If nothing else works, I'm sure I can... persuade him to change his mind."
"You're not going to hurt him, are you?" she asks. As much as she doesn't trust him after hearing what Rob has told her, she still knows he's capable of being kind, and doesn't want him to get hurt too much.
"Only in self defense," Rob assures her.
"Good," she replies. But is she ever going to see him again, anyway? She hasn't seen anyone from the bunker besides Michael in weeks. Maybe she shouldn't have to worry about reintroducing Rob to the Scooby gang at all.

A/N Just a friendly reminder that anything in the show after season 11 ended is irrelevant in this fic.

Meanwhile, in Bailey's world...
I'm currently snuggled up with Gabriel on the couch, watching the new episode of Supernatural. I'm done with filming for a week or so, (which I'm sure you totally forgot I was doing) but my character is just now being introduced. Or should I say reintroduced? I'm playing Michael, freed from the cage at last.
It's interesting, to say the least, filming with these weirdos. Jared made it virtually impossible not to burst out laughing during the middle of a scene, though I expected nothing less from him. Lucifer is back as well, played by ghost Mark because Lucifer is still MIA, so he was joking around throughout the days I spent on set. It was fun, though. I can't wait to go back next week.
It's been a month and a half since Lucifer disappeared, and I honestly don't care anymore. Maybe at first it was strange, not having Lucifer, Michael, or Alexis nearby; not knowing whether they were safe. But now, it's just become normal.
It's almost better, in a way. Things with Gabriel are easier than they were with Lucifer. I don't have to worry about setting Gabriel off by saying the wrong thing. He never seems to get mad. Even seeing Jared and Gen together, which happens more and more frequently as their relationship becomes more serious, doesn't seem to bother him anymore.
We aren't as serious as Jared and Gen, but that's understandable. The two of them spend a lot of their time being just freaking adorable, whereas Gabriel and I barely share a kiss every now and then. I guess it's because unlike Jared and Gen, and even Sabriel and Baicifer, Gabriel and I were kind of forced into this. Those ships got together out of love, or what we thought was love. Gabriel and I just know it's going to happen eventually.
Don't get me wrong; I love hanging out with Gabriel. I love snuggling with Gabriel and watching tv. I love having witty, playful arguments with Gabriel. I just don't love Gabriel. Not really. I mean, I try to. I just... don't. And I don't think Gabriel really loves me, either. It's not like Sabriel/Baicifer love, at least. But it's not quite friendship, either. It's somewhere in between, a relationship built not on love but not on platonic friendship. It's impossible to define, but it doesn't need a definition. It makes me happy, and that's enough.
A/N Short chapter but I wanted to get an update up. I'm thinking next chapter will be the one with an actual plot.
