Summary: Sam’s dealt with his problems fine on his own. He just can’t seem to make Gabriel understand that.
There’s breakfast the next morning, pastries with coffee, and Gabriel is watching the home and garden channel with terrifying focus. Sam eats, because Gabriel will give him dirty looks if he doesn’t, leaning against the headboard. He knows better to interrupt Gabriel during Holmes on Homes.
Gabriel doesn’t look like an angel. Not the ones Sam’s imagined. Tall and majestic with their marks glowing like a halo behind their wings. Gabriel is short and he’s kind of a sarcastic bastard once you get to know him. He’s got a sword, but Sam’s only seen it once, the first time he met Gabriel and thought the angel was going to kill him.
That had been a strange night.
Drunkenly weaving home from the bar when he gets shoved in an alley. If they had been regular muggers he would have just beat the shit out of them and went on his way. But he punched Gabriel in the face and his hand had flared in pain. By the time he was done blinking in surprise he was against a wall, held with enough force to make his stomach churn in fear, with a sword at his throat.
He hadn’t believed them at first. Two rumpled looking guys demanding to know where his brother was? Yeah, fuck that. Then Gabriel had closed his eyes and brought his wings out.
Bright, shining golden wings that seemed to soak up all the light in the alley and reflect it back brighter and more pure.
That sobers a person up real fast.
These were angels, real angels, and they were here for Abdiel. It was all he could do to stammer Dean’s address before the other one, Castiel, was gone. He’d fumbled for his phone as Gabriel cussed and vanished as well.
Then Sam had gone back to the motel and paced until he finally got through to Dean. Only his brother could make it sound like two more angels living with him was gonna be no problem. Sam had spent hours on the phone with the Hunter Council trying to get the paperwork Dean would need to not have this turn into a shit storm.
Finally he’d called his dad which was the last thing he’d ever wanted to but he had pull on the Council and Dean could never ask for anything he needed.
It all worked out because Gabriel popped in on him three days later all apologetic and beaming because they found Abdiel and Dean was sharing his nest and Earth was so interesting!
He’d wrapped his arms around Sam from behind and then asked what he was reading and it had been so out of the blue that Sam just let him while he stammered the name of his book.
The commercials come on and Gabriel rolls over to smile at Sam. “I’m free all day.”
“There’s a poltergeist in Rushville,” Sam says offhandedly and sees Gabriel’s eyes light up.
The archangel is a warrior. Sam’s not gonna waste that.
