Also some of it IDK why just randomly disappeared. So, it is basically reuploaded with edits. Enjoy!

"Bonsoir, mademoiselle!" Balthazar chimed in at 8:45 am in Angelica's room, who was drying her hair, fresh out of the shower. She turned to smile at him.

"Bonsoir, Balthazar." He looked at her as if she was a precious flower. Admiring her, he heaved a small sigh and came close to her. He took one of her hands in his. "What are you doing ma cherie?"

"I'm drying my hair." She said in a quizzical tone, puzzled by the question the answer to which was very obvious.

"No, I'm serious, Angela." Gabriel flew outside Angelica's room and was about to knock on her door, when he heard the familiar voice of his brother and realised the door was open. He did not knock, and did not go inside either. He just stood outside the door quietly, eavesdropping.

"You're clearly not seeing Gabriel. And as you claim, you're not courting Castiel either. Then why not me? I really like you Angelica, and you know it."

"Balthazar, I—" Angelica couldn't go on. Gabriel's heart was pounding against his chest so loudly, he was afraid the two inside might suspect his presence.

"I'm sorry. You know, I really appreciate everything you've done for me so far. But being in a relationship, is really not what I want right now." He heard Angelica say, much to his relief.

"Well, there goes another try. You know, nothing I've done for you so far has been solely because I like you. It's because you're an entrepreneurial, intelligent young woman, and I ardently adore that about you." Balthazar went on to conclude.

"You see, flattery gets you so far, Balthazar." She laughed. "It's not for nothing that I haven't told my brothers that you have proposed to me over three times and got a restraining order against you." She smiled. Gabriel was so envious right now; he could bet his face looked green. He wanted to barge inside and declare to Balthazar, after chiding him, that he could not lay as much as a finger on Angelica, till he was alive, until of course she wanted him to. He was so mad at both of his brothers, he wanted a confrontation, but he was torn between saving his relationship with his brothers and his relationship with Angelica. And confrontation would jeopardize both of those relationships. He was so lost in his thoughts, he did not hear the conversation progress, and suddenly the wooden door banged in his face.

"Oh my Dad!" He exclaimed loudly in pain.

"Gabriel! What the hell were you even?—Never mind, show me where does it hurt?" She asked him as she gently removed his hands from his face that were masking the area that had gotten hurt. He was still sighing due to the sudden pain. To his surprise, Balthazar did not come out.

"Wait, I'll call Balthazar or Cas to heal you." She said quickly, trying to calm him down. Instead, of relaxing him, it did quite the opposite.

"No! Don't call any of those—I'll heal myself." Light radiated out of his hands and he healed himself. Angelica stood a little away from him. She looked a little... scared? Shocked? Gabriel couldn't exactly make out. To say he was angry, was an understatement. He could not think straight.

"Let's go downstairs." Even though Angelica had said no to Balthazar, he wasn't calm or composed. He was fuming as he strode downstairs. Angelica just observed him and followed him slowly.

When she reached to Bobby's living room, she saw Dean, Sam, Castiel, Bobby and Balthazar were already there.

Dean was speaking. "So, screw destiny right in the face. I say we take the fight to them, do it our way." He looked at Angelica, as if seeking approval.
