Part 33

Sam woke up to a cold cloth on his forehead and a full water bottle next to him. He hazily opened his eyes to see Gabriel dabbing the towel on his forehead, "What're you doing?" Sam mumbled.

"Trying to make you feel better. Here drink this water," Gabriel removed the cap and handed his friend the bottle. Sam chugged basically the entire thing down.

Sam asked, "What happened? Why do I feel like shit?"

"You got that drunk that you can't even remember? How fantastic. It was bad enough finding you blacked out in some alley."

"Wait, what?"

"Yea, your drinking buddy lost you. After you treated me like shit, I ended up being the one finding you. I never knew you drank this much."

"I don't. What did I do yesterday? You seem pissed."

"You left me a voicemail where you talked about me not caring about you and being an asshole. I came and tried to help you but you shoved me away. You were too focused on making out with that girl."

"I'm sorry, Gabe," is all Sam could mutter, eyes trained on the floor.

"Apology not accepted but I'm glad you're okay. I do care about you, you know? A lot actually." Gabe admitted.

"Then why didn't you let me talk at the pier? Why did you treat me like that? I had something to say." Sam rubbed the side of his head, really feeling the hangover.

"So, you're still angry at me, huh? I thought I was doing what you wanted." Gabe sighed, "I don't want things awkward between us, Sammy. You're my best friend and I can't lose you."

"But we could be mo-" Gabe placed a finger to his lips.

"Get some rest, Sammy," Gabriel gently said before standing up to leave.

"There you go! Cutting me off again!" Sam to object but just ended up leaving.

Dean entered the room to check on his brother, "You okay, croaked before turning over. Gabriel wantedSammy?"

Sam shot up and faced Dean, "Do I look okay? Everyone keeps asking me that but look at me!" Tears started staining his face.

Dean quickly accompanied the other Winchester, sitting down next to him, "You know you can tell me anything, right? What's going on?"

"I'm fucking in love with Gabe! And every time I try to tell him, he doesn't let me speak!"

"Wait, really? You're in love with Gabriel? As in Cas' brother, Gabriel? Your best friend?" Dean asked, baffled by Sam's outburst.

"Did I stutter?"

"No, I'm sorry. I'm just shocked. I didn't know you swung that way," he chuckled under his breath.

"I'm bisexual, actually," Sam corrected, rolling his eyes.

Dean placed a hand on his brother's shoulder, "Please know I am here for you. I fully support you and everything and if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here. I mean hey, I'm bisexual too." Dean didn't mean for that last part to slip out.

"Wait, really?"

"Did I stutter?" Sam just laughed.

"I had no clue. We really haven't talked much lately have we?"

Dean shook his head, "Nope and we should start." Sam agreed. "Well, I'm gonna let you rest," Dean patted Sam's shoulder, "but please let me know if you need anything."

"Thanks, Dean," Sam smiled.
