Chapter 18: Break up Blues

Dean stared blankly at his brother when he entered Sam's room to check on him "Is that your second tub of icecream?"

Sam shook his head lazily "Third." He muttered with a mouth full of chocolate chip, Dean rolled his eyes "Sammy come on!- it's been three days since you broke up at least talk to the guy- he's miserable!"

Sam looked up for a moment "Really?"

Dean nodded thinking that maybe if Sam knew how heartbroken Gabe was he'd talk to him but Sam just shrugged "Good." He said and continued eating "Dean- you're my brother I thought you'd be on my side." He mumbled.

"I am it's just..Gabe isn't that bad of a guy- and as much as it pains me to be helping you keep him- you should at least hear him out."

Sam paused.

So remember how he'd agreed to hear Gabe out?- he'd really tried but he was too scared so instead he just told himself that he was letting Gabriel stew and freak out for some time- which was totally not the case.

"..Nope."

Dean groaned.

-

Gabriel was moping in his bedroom stuffing his face with candy- he was utterly and completely miserable. Castiel had apologised for letting his secret slip but Gabriel didn't blame him, it was his own fault- Sam was just protecting his heart- and rightfully so.

His dog made a sound almost like sad bark as he stared at Gabriel accusingly and Gabriel stared right back "What are you looking at?"

Dickie trotted over to his clothes hamper and pulled out Sam's sock that he'd left over once from it, giving it to Gabriel, he sighed sadly, petting Dickie "I know- I know.. I miss him too." He looked up with hope in his eyes when he heard a knock at the window it was pulled open but Dean was the one to climb through "Ugh it's you."

His friend sighed "Good to see you to." Then Gabriel realised "Shit Dean- I swear I wasn't trying to hurt Sam-"

"I know." Dean said cutting him off from his apology "I know- you wouldn't care so much if you didn’t really love my brother Gabe." He nodded "We're cool."

"Really?- you're not going to hit me?" Dean shrugged "Not unless you give me a reason to." He sighed, "Look Sammy hasn't been great since the move but you made him feel better, you didn't do what you did to hurt him, you guys love each other."

Gabriel nodded, he really did love Sam
"..How's Sam?"

"Moping in his bedroom at stuffing his face with icecream.." Gabriel winced "I really hurt him didn't I?"

"He just needs time."

"..yeah 'time'." Gabriel scoffed at that, time isn't going to change anything "Cas still feels bad..he shouldn't." Dean frowned he hadn't spoken to Cas in awhile except for on their phones "Is he here?" Gabe nodded "In his room."

"You wouldn't mind if I-"

Gabriel chuckled, with a wave of is hand "Go, at least one of us has a working relationship." 

Dean beamed "Thanks." He said appreciatively and left to go find Castiel. He knocked on when he finally got to the door hoping Castiel would answer "Who is it?"

"Dean."

There was a short pause and Dean thought he was going to be turned away when Castiel spoke up "..Come in." Dean smiled in relief and opened the door, he found Cas sitting at his desk on his laptop "..Hey- you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." Castiel sighed "How's 'Sabriel' doing?"

"Sam still refuses to speak to Gabe." Cas slumped in his chair "..Yeah and it's all my fault."

"No it isn't."

"-If I'd just kept my mouth shut- god I am such a lazy drunk"

"Cas come on, you can't think like that- you told Gabe not to do it he chose to ignore you."

"I still feel bad."

Dean's eyes fell to Cas' desk "..Who are those people?" He asked looking at a picture frame, there were two adults in the picture a man a woman smiling, they both had dark hair like Cas', the man had light blue eyes but the womans were darker.

Castiel answered, glancing at the photo himself "My parents." Dean frowned raising a brow "Biological parents." Cas elaborated "..They died when I was a baby..-car crash- they were friends with Chuck and Becky- who happen to be my god parents." He stared at the picture "I don't talk about them much..I mean I barley even knew them" Castiel said "Becky says they really loved me"

"I'm sure they did Cas" Dean said noticing that Castiel seemed a little skeptical of his mom's words, Cas nodded "Yeah" He shook it off "..Can we go somewhere?"

"Sure, where did you have in mind?"

Castiel grabbed his jacket with a huff "Anywhere but here."

"You reallly fucked up."

Gabriel looked up from his bed, "Alfie?- aren't you supposed to be in school?"  Alfie rolled his eyes "It's summer break." He looked his brother over stepping into the room, "Cas told me what happened."

"Oh- of course he did."

"You know I liked Sam- now you're gonna go back to Meg," Alfie shivered for affect "She scares me."

"She scares everyone." Gabe retorted, truthfully "And I haven't lost Sam- I'm just giving him some space..and time."

Alfie sighed "Look Gabe I know that you're..emotionally constipated or whatever- but Sam brings out the best in you."

"The best in me?"

"He makes you a better person- and keeps you in check..and you probably won't admit it but c'mon Gabe- the guy makes you happy." Gabriel toyed with his lip, "..Okay yoda..what do you suggest I do?" Alfie looked around the room grimacing at the candy wrappers everywhere, his brother really let himself go "Clean yourself up and get your guy back."

Alfie left and about an hour later Gabriel was in the middle of taking his younger brothers advice and cleaning up his room when his phone started to ring, He turned around to grab it answering immediately "Hey, mom- aren't you supposed to be on a flight?"

"Not yet- we have some time."

"Is your better half there?-i spoke to Alfie and he said something happened with you two." She said and Gabriel raised a confused brow "Huh?" so she alaborated "Sam, that nice boy with the fantasic voice?"

Gabriel pouted "Oh..he's..I don't know."

"What's wrong?"

"I may have messed up big time with Sam."

"Well what did you do?" She asked gently, Gabriel scoffed "I can't tell you 'cause if I do you'd come back here just to hit me upside the head for being a complete idiot."

"Possibly but tell me anyways." Gabriel sighed "I manipulated his feelings- for my own personal gain." He rushed his words a little "I didn't mean to- but then it got serious and he found out about what I did and I'm not really sure I can fix it."

There was a little silence before Becky spoke "..You know me and your father try to do the best we can to understand you kids and for the most part we do- but..you Gabriel- you're something else, you have a big heart and this amazing personality and we could never understand why you didn't want to share it with anyone." He could hear her smile "But after you met Sam..he changed you for the better..and if he loves you too you can fix it."

"Yeah okay..thanks." He smiled, feeling more determined than ever "Have a safe flight mom."

He dumped his phone on his bed and plopped down next to it "..I can fix it."
