Castiel hid under the bed, covering his mouth and breathing as quite as possible. Gabriel was in his arms, the little infant looking gleefully at Castiel's face. Castiel covered his mouth gently and his little brother bit down on his fingers.

Castiel heard the footsteps run up the stairs and hugged Gabriel closer, curling up around him.

His mother was dead, probably; his father too. He tried to get the phone but Gabriel was more important, if those people had gotten to him first he would surely be slaughtered just like his parents. The only thing he can pray for now is that his older siblings, Anna and Lucifer, stay at their dates home for the night.

The footsteps rumbled as Castiel's bedroom door breaks and he can see the military boots of the Intruder. He holds his breath, looking down at his brother and seeing him on the brink of tears; the sound must have startled him. Castiel tries to, quietly as possible, sooth Gabriel; running his hand over his stomach and head.

"Where the fuck is that little brat" said one of the Intruders, he circled around the room, checking the closet the rounding up to the bed Castiel was under. He held his breath and prayed to God that he doesn't check.

"Milo!" Shouted the other Intruder, seemingly downstairs by how faint the shout was "We have to get out of here, the police are coming!"

"Fuck!" Yelled Milo, his footsteps fading "We're just going to let the kid live? He saw our faces, Gorge!"

"We came for the parents and we finished! It's Ralph's problem for not saying the kid didn't go to the birthday party, and besides, he's just a kid. We have five minutes to go, come on!" Gorge said, and then there was a flurry of footsteps and silence. Castiel peaked from under his bed and looked at Gabriel, his eyes shining under the moonlight seeping through Castiel's half opened curtains.

"We'll be okay, Gabe. I promise." He whispered to the baby, who cooed and showed his toothless gums. Castiel smiled lightly, climbing from under the bed as he heard the loud siren on the police followed by the breaking of his front door. He held Gabriel close to his chest and ran towards the police officer.

"Freeze!" He yelled and Castiel obligated, Feeling as if his thin cotton pyjamas won't really help him against a bullet.

"My mom and dad! They killed them" he yelled, and pointed down to where his parents bedroom is. The police officer called for a medic and put down his gun.

"Who killed them, Kid?" He asked, now noticing that Castiel was only an eight year old, holding his one year old brother. "Did they hurt any of you?" Castiel shook his head.

"They just tried to punch me but I ran, they were two people; one was called Milo and the other Gorge. I saw them, that's why they wanted to kill me too; but I hid under the bed with Gabriel so they wouldn't hurt any of us." Castiel explained, feeling as if he's in the one in trouble.

"It's alright, My name's Connor, What's your name?"

"Castiel" He replied, and the police officer put a hand on his shoulder.

"Come on, Castiel's, we'll get you out of here. Do you have any other siblings?"

"Yes!" Castiel answered "Luci and Anna, they're out on dates." He adds as Gabriel fusses in his arms, his mouth opening and closing routinely "I don't know how to feed him" Castiel said, his face scrunching with sadness and fear. Connor nodded.

"We'll figure out a way, we just need you to go get a check up alright?" Castiel obliged and let himself and Gabriel be lead out.

"Rise and shine, Princess" Gabriel yelled, Throwing the stuffing of his pillow at his older brother's face. Castiel whined, taking a fist full of the stuffing that had just hit his face and throwing it blindly at his brother "Come on, it's your big day!" He cheered and Castiel raised him the middle finger "Okay wow, I'm out here trying to be a supportive little bro and I'm feeling so attacked right now"

"Ten more minutes" Castiel said, yawning and stretching. Gabriel let out a animal-like sound and grabbed Castiel by the shirt.

"Okay, Come on; Sir drink-alot" He groaned as he lifted Castiel and slung his arm around his shoulder "I'm giving you the Lucifer treatment" he whispered as Castiel walked in zombie-like fashion, His sixteen years old carrying him to the bathroom after another night with his good old friend Johnnie Walker.

"I don't wanna go" Castiel moaned as Gabriel pushed him into the bathtub and helped him out of his shirt.

"Well the people have been waiting long enough, it was your idea anyway" Gabriel mummers as he strips Castiel's pants and throws them over his shoulder "Alright, last chance." Castiel groaned in response and Gabriel sighed "okay, trooper; guess we're going that way, huh. I always liked seeing you suffer anyway" He said as he opened the shower on cold and let Castiel get soaked.

For a second Castiel didn't react, but then his eyes full opened and he tried to sit up "Fuck that's cold" He gasped as he clumsily reached for the handel and closed it "Asshole" he says, panting and feeling the up most discomfort in being in his soaking wet boxers only in front of his older brother, like he's vulnerable.

"Well come on, The opening is in an hour and you still need to go down to the hair stylist; she insists you have hair longer than three centimeters or something." He rambles and grabs Castiel, heaving him out the tub and grabbing the neatly folded suit and extending it for him.

"Fine, but this is the last time your bossing me around" Castiel warns as he puts on the dress pants and white dress shirt. Gabriel rolls his eyes and crossed his arms "What?"

"Until you find an assistant you don't sleep with to avoid confrontation about your drinking problem then I will stop being your guardian angel" Castiel made a whining noise as he straightened down his shirt and put on his jacket.

"You will?" Castiel asked, hopeful but Gabriel smirked and he let his head drop.

"Nope," he replied, pooping the P and patting Castiel's shoulder "You always need a guidance counselor you know? But it's becoming a problem, Cassie. You're being a stereotypical rich white cis male and fucking every assistant you get. I thought Amanda was just, you know, an attraction you needed to screw out but them you got on with Todd and Alice and even the bitch we all hated. She wasn't even that good looking!"

"But she wanted to, So I didn't see the problem. Still don't"

"Alright, Womanizer, if you'd just go through a month with no hanky panky then you'd make us all happy." Gabriel raised a hand as Castiel ran a few fingers through his hair "Angelina's gonna be pissed if you go out looking like you just got some" He notes, helping Castiel by pushing a brush at him "At least make it look like it was vanilla okay?"

"Wow Gabe, you're 15, you shouldn't know what sex is" Castiel says as he pushes his hair back as good as possible.

"First off, I'm sixteen and turning 17 in a month. Second of all, blame 7ths grade biology for making me curious about why people make babies" Gabriel rolls his eyes as Castiel gives him a stern look, often called 'the daddy's mad' look between the siblings.

"You aren't doing anything, right? I know I'm not the best role model but I don't want you to go through anything too early" Castiel crosses his arms and Gabriel softens a bit.

"No, Castiel, I'm not having sex, or doing drugs. You caught me smoking and that was the most rebellious thing I've done," Gabriel replies, patting Castiel on the back "don't worry, you and Luci would know if I did anything 'cuz I'll be quite so you don't know I'm high. Now, off you go; opening's in thirty minutes. CHOP CHOP BROTHER"
