Alive (Gabriel x Angel!reader)

After finishing your rounds in Heaven, you fly to a place your little brother Castiel showed you before he was basically exiled from heaven. It was the Heaven of an autistic man, a sunny peaceful day with him at his favorite park.

You aren't an archangel, but you were one of the first to be created after the youngest, Gabriel. He automatically took you under his wing and made it his job to teach you what's what. He was friendly to everyone else but the two of you were inseparable. Closer than other angels but Father didn't seem to mind too much. The human loving, carefree angel was your best friend.

After Lucifer was cast down and father left, Michael and Raphael began arguing which caused havoc among the others. Gabriel more than anyone couldn't stand to see his brothers fight like that. He begged you to come with him, to leave heaven and live among the humans. You almost did, but you couldn't bring yourself to leave your brothers and sisters. Not when they would need you most.

After that he disappeared, and left you to deal with the mess that was left. He didn't tell you where he was going and never contacted anyone. For a while you resented him, for leaving you to reason with the others and do his job. But now, even to this day you miss him. Everyone figured he was dead and it was difficult not to.

You find yourself missing him, it almost physically hurt when you thought about him being gone. You're not sure why it hurt, angels aren't used to intense emotions. You just always figured it was a part of grief. You watch the sky, lost in thought when you hear Castiel calling for you.

(Y/N), I know it has been a while since we last spoke but I need your help, if anyone can do anything it would be you.

You immediately stood, wondering what he's gotten himself into this time. In seconds you're standing in front of a bunker, the largest of the old Men of Letters bunkers.

"(Y/N), thank you." You hear as Castiel lands beside you.

You smile, turning to him "of course brother."

He gives you a faint smile before motioning for you to follow him inside. You look around, noting the dated machinery that lines the walls. A long haired man, walks up to meet Cas looking stressed.

Sam Winchester I presume,

"Sam, this is (Y/N)," Cas nods to you, and to smile stiffly.

"Here about...?" Sam asks quietly.

Castiel nods, "yes. This way,"

You follow Your brother and the Winchester through a series of hallways, stopping at room 32. Cas turns to you, looking suddenly concerned "(Y/N), Gabriel Is alive."

You freeze, processing what was just said. Centuries, of being missing. Hearing he was killed by Lucifer, and he's still alive. You take in a breath "W-What?" You manage.

"All we know is that he was captured by Asmodeus, who's been torturing and draining him of his grace for years." Sam explains.

"We have a bit of his grace but he won't let anyone get near him, we were hoping you could..." Cas trailing off, stepping back so you can reach the door.

You take in a deep breath, as he places the small glass bottle into your hand. You look at it, watching the blue energy swirl around. You rest your hand on the handle, turning it slowly.

You push the door open slowly, revealing a pitch black room. You pocket the bottle and flip the light on carefully.

You are greeted immediately with Enochian covering the walls, you walk in slowly reading it. "This was him?" You ask looking back to Castiel.

"It must have been," He looks around at the writing, "it's, it's his story," he finishes quietly.

It talks about his supposed death, and how he escaped. Of course half of it talked about strippers, and how he'd escaped. He was sold out to the youngest prince of hell, and locked away for years.

You feel anger rise up in you, looking around you find the archangel. Your face falls when you see him, sadness and remorse is what humans would call it. Hidden in he far corner of the room, almost invisible behind the dresser. "Gabriel," you say silently.

You walk towards him slowly, his face scarred and still bloody from deep gashes that run the length of his face. His white shirt and pants stained with years of dirt and blood.

You kneel down in front of him, feeling a few stray tears roll down your cheek. You back to Castiel "we've tried to talk to him but in his current condition I'm not even sure he knows how to respond." He says softly.

"Gabriel, I'm so sorry.." you say softly, slowly reaching your hand out towards him. He looks up slowly, curling up tighter against the wall. "I'm not going to hurt you, just let me see Gabriel," you say quietly but firmly reaching out and touching his arm. He makes a whimpering sound but doesn't move away, you move your hand to his cheek bringing his face up even with yours.

You gasp seeing the marks around his mouth. Still inflamed and bloody from where his mouth was sewn shut. "Let me help you," you whisper, pulling out the bottle of grace from your pocket. The archangel's eyes go wide and he starts shaking his head no, and backing away from you into the corner.

"You're safe now Gabriel.." His posture relaxes a little, watching you move closer. You watch as he timidly reaches his hand out, touching your face. He runs his hand along your cheek. "Real..." he whispers, looking you in the eyes. You undo the cap from the bottle, moving it closer to him slowly. He reaches his hand out putting it around yours as he opens his mouth.

You hear the two behind you sigh in relief as his grace flows back through his vessel. Slowly you watch his wounds heal, his eyes closed. After a minute, he blinks his eyes open, glowing blue for a moment. "(Y/N)?...how did you..?" He asks a hint of fear still in his voice. You smile at him, pointing back to Cas and Sam " because you're stubborn."

He laughs silently, pulling you in for a desperate hug. It takes you by surprise, but you hug him back after a second. You smile, hugging him tight finally feeling whole again.

He leans out of the hug, quickly mashing his lips against yours. Taking you by surprise once again, but even more when you feel your grace intertwining with his. You smile leaning into the kiss, because that only happens when an angel finds their forever.
