Melancholy - Gabriel x Friend!Reader

A/N: Just a short one to get us back in the swing. 

***

You and the Winchesters had just returned from a hunt. It had gone well, no one had been hurt and you'd wrapped it up in a day. There had been no further victims and you got to sleep in your own bed tonight. All things considered it had gone about as well as any hunt could go. 

Still, you found yourself feeling melancholy, sad. Blah would be the best word you could think of to describe your general demeanor. While you didn't get this way often, it also wasn't uncommon. The brothers and their angel were all aware of how you could get so they left you alone after making certain there was nothing they could do. 

You drove your old beat up car out to a field with an unobstructed view of the sky. After tossing a blanket on the hood, you crawled up and leaned against the windshield, hands behind your head. A little stargazing along with contemplating your place in the universe and you'd feel better in no time.  

The fact that you neither startled nor attempted to kill the angel that was suddenly laying beside you spoke volumes as to how often one of the feathered fiends popped in or out. You shot a quick glance out of the corner of your eye unsurprised to find it was the trickster that had come to visit. 

"Hey, Gabe," you said in a low tone, not wanting to disrupt the peace of the night.

"Y/N," he responded. His position mirrored your own, right down to the hands behind his head. "So are we looking for anything in particular?"

You huffed a laugh. "The meaning of life."

"The answer to that is always 42, sweet cheeks." He grinned. "Thought you knew that."

You merely hummed and gave a small smile before returning to your contemplation of the stars. Gabe, however was never one to just enjoy the peace. You felt his gaze on you several times until he cracked. "What's going on with you, Y/N? You're usually much more verbose."

You shrugged. "Just a little down today, Gabe. No big deal."

He sat up and frowned at you. "It is a big deal, Y/N. Why are you sad? What did the Winchesters do this time?"

That had you chuckling again. "Nothing."

The angel's eyebrows shot up. "Was it Cassie?"

You pulled a hand from under your head to reach out and pat him. "No one did anything, Gabe. It's just one of those days. People don't have to be happy all the time you know."

"You do!" he exclaimed. 

You simply arched a brow as you looked at him. "Calm down, Gabe. There's nothing wrong."

His eyes ran over you from top to bottom before he shook his head. "I don't believe you. Come on, tell your favorite angel what's wrong, sweet cheeks."

You furrowed your brow and tilted your head in confusion. "But Cas already knows though."

It took every ounce of your willpower not to start laughing at the horrified look on Gabe's face.  When he just continued to stare at you in offense, you finally couldn't take it any more and started giggling. Your hands pressed against your belly as the muscles ached from your laughter. "Your face," you gasped out.

"Hurtful," he exclaimed with a hand to his chest which only made you laugh harder. It wasn't long before Gabriel was laughing with you. As giggles subsided he laid back down and wrapped his arms around you to pull you to his chest. You snuggled against him and sighed in contentment as he pressed a kiss to your head. 

"There's my happy, Y/N. Let's stare at the universe a while longer then I'll escort you home," Gabe said. 

You made a sound of agreement but didn't move to look back at the stars. As you laid in your friend's arms, and thought about the three back at the bunker, you were pretty sure you'd already found your place in the universe.
