"So Sugar Cube, what's been bothering you?" Gabriel asked Sam ashe stroked through the long brown hair. Three of his six wings werecradling Sam but it was way too hot right now for extreme cuddlinglike Gabriel wanted to do. But instead his grace was stroking alongSam's body and it was like a phantom limb was petting his mate.
Sam was only in a pair of boxer shorts that reached his knees andGabriel was enjoying the view of his mate unblemished and tonedexcept for the tattoo on the left side of his chest of ananti-possession symbol. Gabriel was dressed similarly to his hunterand his other three wings were gently beating to give Sam a lightbreeze who gave a gentle humming at the nice breeze.
"Why do you think something is wrong?" He asked and whimperedwhen Gabriel's wings stopped beating and his grace stopped strokingalong his chest, arms, shoulders, neck, face and hair in a languidpace. He hadn't realized how enjoyable it was, and how strongGabriel's wings really were. He was supporting him, a full grown man,on his wings as if he weighed nothing so despite how soft and silkythe golden feathers looked. They were far more substantial then theylooked.
"You and I both know I know you better then that Sammy." Samsighed looking away but Gabriel waited for him to speak and after afew moments he did.
"It's just...as different as Dean and I are we always wanted thesame thing. It took me a long time to realize that we did and what itwas. A home." Sam shook his head, "I thought at Stanford I couldget it; become a lawyer and become a prosecutor, get a house, marrysomeone, and maybe even have some kids. Have uncle Dean come around."He chuckled and looked over at Gabriel and smirked, "Dean wantedthe same thing, since we were kids. Just that all he wanted wassomeone who would accept him for who he is. The good the bad and theugly."
"You know you can trust Cassie."
"Yeah I know, Cas was for Dean even...even when I wasn't." Samsighed remembering how easily he had been manipulated by Ruby asGabriel moved his hand to stroke across Sam's forehead. "It is nowthat we both have this it's strange. We have what we need." Samsmiled and Gabriel raised a single eyebrow.
"Is a 'and' or a 'but' coming?"
"A but...no an and. A little bit of both." Sam shook his head butthere was no judgment coming from Gabriel. "It's just now...I don'tknow where to go from here."
"Who says you have to go anywhere?" Gabriel asked and nuzzled hisface against Sam's neck. "Just continue to be you and I'll continueto be me. Sound good honey?"
"Sounds good." Sam easily agreed.

"Hey bro, ready?" Gabriel asked as Castiel nodded slipping awayfrom Dean's sleeping arms. He leaned down and ran his lips overDean's forehead. Then in a flash and some beating wings both angelswere gone, leaving Sam and Dean asleep in Gabriel's house inWashington right outside of Seattle. In the kitchen there was a noteassuring him that they were fine and that they'd be back in time fordinner. There was also a handful of papers for them from differentparts of the country. Of course they were reasonably sure that thebrothers would at least tell them before checking out a gig.
They hoped.
If not well...then they'd see how possessive and protective angelscould be of their mates.
The most important part of this was location, location, location. Thepoint was Kansas. The brothers were originally from Kansas and thoughthey thought about going to Lawrence they knew there would be toomany memories so instead chose Lebanon. Kansas was the exact middleof the country and would be easiest to go wherever they needed to. Ofcourse the angels could fly them there but neither brother likedbeing flown too much.
"Are you ready Cassie?" Gabriel asked smiling at the youngerangel who nodded.
"Yes. I never imagined having a mate would be like this." Castielsmiled as he didn't think his mate would be human, only four or fiveof his brothers and sisters had a human mate it was so rare.
"Do you regret it?" Gabriel asked shocked, having his moose nowhe couldn't ever not be happy with that.
"Of course not. Do not be daft Gabriel." Castiel looked at him asif he had grown a second head was the human saying that Gabriel knewwhich he knew that the younger angel wouldn't understand. Especiallysince technically angels had three heads.
"Good. I thought for a second-"
"No. Never." Castiel shook his head the very idea of not beingwith his sweet and precious Dean.
"Good." Gabriel smiled and reached out to ruffle Castiel's hair,the black wings swatted at one of his golden wings which he swattedback good naturedly.
"So here?" Castiel asked after they had finished playing around abit, looking at the spot of open land that was just outside of thecity limits. Far enough away that no one would question the goings-onin the house that would be built. Gabriel had already set to workusing his alias of Gabriel Hesslinger. Having been on earth for solong and the ability to magic things into existence he had more thenenough money to buy things several times over if he wished. Of coursemost of it went to helping the innocents he could along with homesfor him to stay no matter where he went throughout the world. He wasa master at hiding from his siblings after all, even if most thoughthim dead. And he made sure this time they would fully believe it somuch that even if they someday got a hint he wasn't they wouldn'tbelieve it.
"Yeah, so lets get to work."
And so they did.
The first and foremost was what would be underground. A bunker. Onethat would protect their precious hunters. A weapons vault with morethen enough room for them to have all their weapons and then some, alibrary meant just to hold their hunting books and resources, apantry to fill with water and nonperishable items. They added a placeto sit around and plan out what they would do as well as a trainingroom complete with training dummies, exercise machines and weights,and finally bedrooms for them to stay in. They then proceeded to thewards.
Castiel and Gabriel were both acting on pure instinct as they didthat. They were making sure that their mates were safe. They wardedit against every single thing they could think of. And that includedwhat Gabriel, the third ever angel to exist who would always try toplay mediator to Micheal and Lucifer even if they never listened.
They were even able to set it so that no one who meant harm to theWinchester brothers could get in.
Then they moved onto the next important part. The home on top. Theyhad decided on something simple, it was what the brothers would want.It wouldn't be a good idea either for in case monsters followed themit would make it even easier. It wasn't as if they wouldn't putprotective measures on the home itself, just not as in depth as thebunker. Besides, neither brother was one to want a very fancy house.
It was a two story home, a nice little dollhouse style home. Thefirst floor would have a porch, a hallway to come into, a livingroom, kitchen, dining room, a little breakfast nook, a half bathroomand a den. Of course they built in places where plenty of weaponscould be stored for easy access just in case as well as threepossible entrances to the bunker. These were warded the most heavilyand the only people who could possibly get through those would be thebeloved hunters as well as anyone they wanted to come in, only thosethey wanted so none could threaten them in.
The top floor had five bedrooms, two master bedrooms that were facingthe back of the house that had a balcony as well, one for each of thebrothers, and three bedrooms which could hold anyone they wished tohouse, as they knew that they were so embroiled in the hunterlifestyle to never turn their back on it. They would be able to notdo it so there would be somewhere for the boys to house any otherhunters. There were also a guest bathroom for the possible guests anda master bath for both the boys rooms.
It was exhausting and when they showed up sixty two hours later theywere as exhausted as angels could be. They looked over and found anote, the same place where they had left their own.
Guys,
We got a callabout a hunt in Maryland, be back soon.
-Sam and Dean
Gabriel growled worried. Why couldn't they have waited? Even being aarchangel making so much from almost nothing was exhausting even withthe help of Castiel who while in name was but a Seraph was in poweran archangel.
He handed the paper to Castiel who instantly looked worried andturned ready to find them, with the runes he had carved into thehunters ribs meant that only he and thanks to his own bond to SamGabriel could as well.
However they jumped as the door was opened and then came in theirbeloved hunters. They looked a bit banged up and worse for ware butdidn't seem to be injured. They were barely shut and locked the doorbefore their angels were on them gripping their brand making surethat they could feel the bond.
"Are you two crazy?! You could have been hurt and we couldn't feelyou!" Gabriel pulled Sam to his chest holding him tightly, hiswings wrapping tightly around his mate. "We were building, ourenergy..." he whispered and closing his eyes flew Sam to where hehad. Castiel was back a few moments later.
"Where are we?" Sam asked shocked looking around as Dean got hisbearings.
"Kansas." Gabriel answered and Dean looked between the house andhim before staring into Castiel's eyes in his normal eye sex thing."You two need a base of operations."
"Wait...you built us a house?" Sam asked and that got Dean'sattention but he still didn't look away from Castiel's blue eyes.
"A...home?" He asked and Castiel gave an impeccable nod. A home.The one thing he ever wanted. The thing he always wanted but was surehe would never have. A home. A family. Sam, Castiel, and newly addedbut he was a part of the family to, Gabriel.
This is verylong for my normal writing, but I loved it. This is mostly brotherlylove for the angel boys and Sabriel. But I love it and this might bemy favorite chapter I've written for this story so far.
