By Their Grace

Cuddle Bug

"What in the world are you doing Dean?" Sam asked as Dean, whowas right now humming the song Cherry Pie to himself looked up.

"Baby needs her bi-weekly tune up."

"Seriously? Bi-weekly?" It hadn't been the first time that Samheard it but he always was shocked to hear it. Sure, cars need to betuned up, but only about once a year, not even monthly, especiallynot twice a month.

"Yeah. But these cougars need a little bit extra TLC, every 10,000miles or year; whichever comes first." He then chuckled, "Babygoes through a lot, we have to take care of her," Dean added with awide smile glancing at Sam. Sam didn't feel the same connection tothe car as Dean did, but he knew that to Dean it was still his homejust as much as their now actual house home.

"I swear Dean, I'm surprised you didn't want to be a mechanic."Sam said as Dean took a deep breath and sighed, putting the wrenchdown, "I used to, do like Bobby, maybe even make a junkyard where Ican remake cars." He shook his head and Sam looked down thinkingback to the man who was an uncle in all ways but blood to them, actedmore like a father than John Winchester did.

"Samshine! Come here!" Sam looked over, his hunter instinctsstill keeping him from jumping.

"I'll be back." Sam promised but Dean chuckled and threw his fistin the air and Sam groaned rolling his eyes he walked away. "Whatis it Gabe?" Sam asked with a smile, seeing Gabriel always broguhta smile to Sam's face. How could it not? Dean and him were veryclose, close in a way where only a hard childhood could forge, closeover years. But with Gabriel it was vastly different, it was adifferent kind of happiness, a different feeling deep inside of him.When Sam looked at Dean it was how he thinks he would feel looking ata older brother, father and mother, calm and accepting love. WithGabriel it was a feeling of something crawling around in his torsobut he liked it, he liked that combination of feeling astrange giddiness but at the same time feeling secure and comfortablein his presence.

"I need my Sam-Cuddles." Gabriel pouted in a way that should notbe cute on an adult man, much less a nearly-ageless angel but it was.It was adorable.

"I'm sorry love," Sam cooed taking his angel's hand leading himback into the house and to their bedroom where was the best place tocuddle. Sam stretched out his body into the perfectly big bed thatallowed him to stretch out his legs without his feet going over theedge.

Sam laid on his back, putting one arm to cushion his head andGabriel, much smaller, climbed onto the side of Sam, laying on hisside to place his head onto Sam's chest, to pillow his head. Hehummed as Sam wrapped his free arm around Gabriel and the archangellaid his own arm over Sam's chest.

"You're comfy~" he whispered happily and Sam let out a chuckle,cooing slightly to him.

"You are quiet the enjoyable cuddle bug to." The hunter teasedand Gabriel pouted and climbed up Sam's body and planted a kiss onhis lips.

"Careful Sam Moose, I am a hot archangel, not one to be messedwith." He grinned however the younger Winchester brother didn'tlook worried or aroused, just rolled his eyes and chuckled grabbingGabriel, flipping him over so that Gabriel was caged under him.Normally Sam wouldn't be able to do that unless Gabriel let him, buthe was able to this time because Gabriel was not expecting it.

"Silly little angel~" Sam teased with a wink, "you realize weare all alone in the house right now?" He cooed rubbing his mate'sface.

"What about the girls and buddy?" He asked with a smile playingit off and Sam chuckled at the thought of the pets that stayed intheir home.

"I meant Dean and Cas, I don't think Buddy, Grace, Bella and Amaraare going to need us for a little while, huh?" Sam cooed to Gabrieland he smirked, the quirking of the short angel's lips downrightscandalous.

"No, I don't think they will, however will we spend our time Sam?~"

"Dean?" The green eyed man stopped what he was doing, cutting offhis acoustic rendition of Eye of the Tiger.

"Yeah babe?" Dean asked with a smile as Castiel sighed, he wasused to Dean calling him by pet names, while babe and baby were oneof his favorite ones. It was something precious.

"I feel the need to hold you in my arms." Castiel said it in hissame almost monotone way, he wasn't being flirtatious, wasn't beingshy. He was just stating it. Dean blinked for a moment, it was so outof the blue that it took him off guard.

"Oh Cas, are you feeling a bit cuddly?" He teased a bit but had ahuge grin on his face. He leaned over to peck his lips, "come onhuggy bear." He took the angel's hand, tugging him over to theImpala's trunk and hopping up on it, tugging Castiel up after him.

This was goingto be a lemon but I actually like it like this more.
