The Devil in the Details (Sterek)(Destiel)(Sabriel)

You Winchesters

Sam looked between his brother and Cas. They looked nervous.

"Why aren't you more excited about this?" Sam frowned.

"How do you even know it was him?" Dean asked skirting the question. He didn't know what to say.

"I got a text from Darren and then a few minutes later I got one from Brandon. They both saw him in L.A. separately." Sam answered holding out his phone.

"If it was really him, don't you think he would have reached out?" Dean answered ignoring the phone.

Sam looked thoughtful, "You're right, I should try calling him."

"No."
"Wait."
"Don't."

Dean, Cas, and Derek spoke up at the same time.

Sam looked at them suspiciously, "What's going on?"

Cas and Derek looked at Dean. He knew how to handle Sam better than any of them.

"Nothing, I just think you shouldn't get your hopes up, ya know?" Dean shrugged.

Sam narrowed his eyes at his brother, "Dean, you know I can tell when you're lying right?" Sam huffed, "I'm calling him."

"Damnit Sam, would you just wait until we know for sure?" Dean snapped.

Sam looked at his brother with raised brows, "Why don't you want to find him? I know he's not your favorite person but, I love him Dean."

"You know I don't mind him. I'm glad you're happy with him, I just think we need to be careful," Dean felt guilt creep in as he lied to Sam. He just didn't know how to tell him about what happened when Cas called him.

"A phone call isn't going to hurt, Dean," Sam rolled his eyes as he hit the call button on his phone. Little did he know.

Dean pinched the bridge of his nose as Sam put the call on speaker.

"Yello," Gabriel's voice answered.

"Gabe," Sam sighed in relief.

"Uh, who is this?" Gabriel asked, confused.

"It's Sam," The hunter frowned.

Dean glanced at Cas uncertainly.

"Of course it is," Gabriel sounded annoyed, "Look, I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told Castiel, I'm not interested in getting involved with you Winchesters, I don't care what problems you are dealing with."

Sam looked taken a back, "What? Gabriel, what are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about you bothering me, now if you'll excuse me, I have to go." With that the call ended.

Sam looked equally hurt and confused, as he stared down at the phone.

"Sam," Dean said sympathetically taking a step towards his brother.

"What was he talking about, Cas?" Sam demanded looking up at the angel.

Cas sighed, "I heard about his location via angel radio earlier. I called him and he said the same thing he said just now," Cas answered sadly.

"You knew where he was?" Sam asked, betrayal thick in his tone.

Cas looked guilty.

"You all knew didn't you? That's why you didn't want me to call him."

Derek dropped his eyes to his hands. None of them responded.

"How long have you known?" Sam demanded, the hurt turning to anger.
