Music Wars (Destiel, Sabriel, Michifer)

(3) The Trickster and His Bro

The Novaks

"Finished!" Cas shouted from his room. For the past twelve hours, he had been editing their cover video to make sure that it was absolutely perfect. There was no room for mistakes.

He waited about a minute, but there was no reply to his declaration. He got up and looked around the apartment to find that he was the only one there. Gabe and Luce had left him. Assbutts.

Cas whipped out his phone and texted them instead.

Castiel: I finished editing the video. Where are you guys?

Trixter: nice cassie! we told you two hours ago that we were going to get some food before luci's shift at the diner.

Castiel: His shift isn't until 8:00...

S8n: dude look at the time

Cas glanced at the top of his phone screen to check the time. It was 7:45?! Where had all the time gone?

Castiel: Can you at least bring me home some food?

Trixter: i already got the pb&j sandwich off the kid's menu to go

Castiel: Thank youuuu!

It was 2 am. Lucifer had finally gotten home from work and the Novaks were gathered around Castiel's laptop watching the video they had made. By the time the credits rolled at the end, there was a grin on every one of their faces.

"So what do you guys think?" Cas asked. Honestly, he was just fishing for compliments. He already knew that it was great.

Gabe spoke first, "Cassie, you really outdid yourself with this one. Great job!" He patted his younger brother on the back.

"Dude, that was freaking awesome!" Lucifer encouraged. "You could really make this a career."

That last comment made Cas blush. He knew he was good, but he wouldn't guess he was that good. There were so many small flaws that he kept pointing out to himself. He shook these thoughts out of his mind and pulled the contest website up on the computer. "So, are we ready to submit it?"

"Wait," Gabe interjected. "We still need a fake name. It'll make us cooler."

Lucifer rolled his eyes playfully, "Seriously?"

"I insist."

"Okay..." Cas was skeptical but went along with it. "Any ideas?"

"Well, Gabe said these guys are like 'monster hunters'" Lucifer made quotation marks with his fingers. "Or whatever. We could be the Monsters?"

Gabe made a face and then proceeded to mime violently puking everywhere. "That is the worst idea I've ever heard!"

"Fine, you come up with something better!"

"The Trickster and His Bro. It's simple and tells the audience who we are."

Cas piped up, "Do you just want a title for a group? Or do you want to have stage names too?"

"Stage names sounds fun."

"Yeah, it gives it a bit of mystery."

Happy that he got approval, Cas pitched his own idea. "Okay, both of you have archangel names, so the group name is easy. 'Archangels Wings' duh. So, you're stage names have to relate to this." He was speaking so quickly, almost like he was Sherlock making a deduction. "Lucifer is often referred to in the Bible as 'light-bringer', so your name has to be bright. Light. But it still has to represent your personality. There's this whole thing with the planet Venus that I won't go into right now, but you'll be known as 'Morning Star'."
