Take The Heart I Never Wanted to Give

25

It was almost night and the sun had begun to retreat behind the horizon, the moon taking its place to watch over the Winchester kingdom, it's soft beams of light filtering in through the castle's windows.

The group all sat quietly in the study of Mary Winchester, allowing themselves to relax and let a comfortable feeling of ease settle in their bones. Sam sat near the large desk, Gabriel tucked under his arm, slits of honey-colored irises peeking out between half closed eyes. Dean was laying down on his uninjured side, head pillowed in Cas' lap who sat just next to him, Dean's eyes fluttering open and shut as Cas raked gentle fingers through Dean's hair. Kevin, Charlie, Adonis, Crevan, and Valerie all sat in one area, staying as close to their newfound family as they could.

"I think we should all sleep for a month." Gabriel murmured, breaking the calm silence with a small, tired puff of laughter.

"Agreed," Dean said, eyes fluttering open to give Gabriel weary but genuine smile, the others giving him a genuine laugh or smile as well.

"It is getting pretty late though," Sam pointed out, fingers lightly tracing patterns on Gabriel's ribs.

"Yeah," Charlie said getting up to stretch. "As much as I would love to celebrate, I'm beat. I'm sure everyone else is too."

The others nodded sluggishly in agreement.

"Alrighty then," Kevin said, clapping his hands together a bit too loudly. "We're gonna hit the sack. See you guys tomorrow." Kevin turned his attention to Valerie, Crevan, and Adonis. "Y'all wanna bunk with us for the night? We got plenty of room."

The three omegas smiled and nodded, moving to follow the other two resident omegas.

"Goodnight ya'll," Charlie and Kevin said tiredly.

"Good night," Valerie said to the two couples, a kind smile on her lips. "And...and thank you."

"You gave us a family," Crevan said quietly, eyes sparkling brightly.

"We can't ever thank you enough for that," Adonis added.

Dean and Sam grinned at three omegas and nodded.

"You're welcome," Sam said sincerely.

"Family don't always gotta end with blood. You three are part of us now," Dean added. "G'night you guys."

The rest of them exchanged a few more good nights before the five omegas exited the study.

The couples remained, comfortable silence lingering between them. Sam stifled a yawn, his head resting on top of Gabriel's. Gabriel chuckled softly and lightly patted the larger man's cheek, startling him awake.

"I think we're gonna head to bed." Gabriel said quietly to his brother and Dean.

"Go ahead. We'll be up there soon." Dean replied.

"Come on, ya giant goof. Let's go to bed, huh?" Gabriel murmured. Sam nodded and stood up, grasping Gabriel's hand and walking tiredly toward the door.

"G'night," Sam and Gabriel both said.

"G'night," Dean and Castiel replied.

Sam and Gabriel eventually made it to Sam's room, both flopping ungracefully onto the large king size bed, Gabriel crawling on top of Sam to lay spread out over lost of his torso and waist.

"I'm exhausted and I never wanna leave this bed. Ever." Gabriel said with a loud exhale.

"We might have to." Sam said with a small laugh. "I don't know about you but I stink. Bad."
