Summary: Written for 50 first dates - Arguing.
Date 36
“We can go dutch,” Sam offers with a nod like he’s solved the problem.
“Who the hell even says that anymore,” Gabriel huffs. “Besides, it’s not a date if we both pay for our own meals. It’s just two guys going out to eat together.”
“I can’t afford it this week,” Sam’s coming close to whining and he knows it.
“So just let me pay,” Gabriel complains. “Why are you being so difficult about this?”
“Because I ask you out, not the other way around,” Sam sighs. “I should pay. Maybe we can just reschedule or something.”
“NO!” Gabriel blinks wide eyes like the vehemence of his disagreement to Sam’s latest insane idea surprises even him. He settles his shoulders with a little less tension before admitting, “I don’t want to wait another week.”
“You haven’t waited this week yet,” Sam snorts. “I just asked you out ten minutes ago and we’ve been fighting ever since.”
“I’m not hard to get along with,” Gabriel snaps. “I’m not. You’re just being unreasonable and if you could just be less rigid then you wouldn’t think I was the one with the problem.”
“You think I’m being rigid?” Sam gasps. “You’re the one being an idiot about this. I’m trying to be realistic. Not everyone in the world lives in a castle by the sea, Gabriel.”
“It’s not a castle,” Gabriel corrects with his finger pointing into the center of Sam’s chest. “It’s just a really big house. Besides it’s not like it’s my house. I can’t help what my parents do for a living”
“Maybe this isn’t going to work,” Sam groans. “We just come from two totally different places.”
“We’re in the same home room,” Gabriel barks. “How different can our worlds be? You’re just too sensitive about it.”
“First I’m rigid, now I’m overly sensitive,” Sam growls as he glares at the other boy. “Why did I ask you out in the first place?”
“I don’t know,” Gabriel murmurs. “But I’m really glad you did.”
“Oh,” Sam breathes as they stare at each other. “Oh…”
Gabriel’s touch against Sam’s chest is hesitant. It’s like he’s not sure if Sam really wants him there, that close. Gabriel’s an idiot, Sam would love him a lot closer he just needs to prove he can pull his own weight.
He wants to be an equal.
“Can you drive me home?” Gabriel asks after he presses his fingertips against Sam’s shirt unmoving. “I missed my ride meeting you here.”
“Where’s your car?” Sam asks.
“I don’t have one,” Gabriel admits with a blush. “It’s sort of a communal vehicle that we all share. Today’s not my day.”
“I have a car,” Sam says with a smile. Dean gave him the Honda when he bought the beat-up Impala to rebuild.
“That’s why I’m asking for a ride,” Gabriel says with a grin.
Sam has a car and Gabriel doesn’t….this evens the playing field a lot between them.
“How about this,” Gabriel offers. “You drive me home and in return I’ll make us dinner. We call it even and this can be our first date. We can spend the time trying to make a plan for the next one.”
“You want a second date with me?” Sam’s not going to be able to wipe the grin off his face for a year.
“I want a lot of things with you,” Gabriel says with a wink.
They hold hands while Sam drives him home.
