Really short chapter this time. From Castiel's point of view, just because. I thought it might be fun to try out. I dunno how I feel about it though. I'm just gonna stick with Dean from now on, I think.


Castiel followed Dean into his apartment.

"So, this is the place," Dean said. "Uh, as you already know." He threw his keys on the table by the door and turned around. "You can put your things in the bedroom, and I'll get some sheets for the couch."

Castiel smiled and signed as best as he could with his left hand. There is no need for that Dean. Your bed is large enough for the both of us. We know that well enough by now.

"Yeah." Dean grinned. "That is true..." He cleared his throat and pulled something out of his pocket. "These are for you."

It was a set of two keys. "One for the building, and one for the apartment," Dean said.

Thank you, Castiel signed, and slipped the keys into his own pocket. Then he went to put his bag away. When he rejoined Dean, he was picking his keys up again.

"I totally forgot that I had to work today," he said. "Do you wanna grab something to do?"

Castiel nodded and thought to himself that it was a good thing that the cafe had free wifi.


Dean was around thirty minutes into his shift when Sam came in and spotted Castiel.

"Hey, Cas," he said, taking a seat next to him. "How are you?"

Castiel pulled up a blank document on his laptop and began typing.

I'm fine, Sam. Thank you for your concern.

"So what are you working on?" Sam asked. "Anything important?"

Castiel minimized the document and showed Sam his game of solitaire. He burst out laughing.

"I'll let you get back to that. Want me to get you anything?"

Nodding, Castiel held up his empty cup and resumed searching for a place to put that stupid seven. By the time Sam returned, he'd won that game and started a new one.

Sam hesitated before setting his own coffee down. "Do you mind if I sit here? I've got a test that I need to study for."

Castiel gestured for him to go ahead and they sat there, in relative silence, for nearly an hour.

Then Gabriel showed up.

He plopped down at the table and slammed Castiel's laptop shut, startling them both.

"You two looked so focused over here," he said. "I had to come ruin it."

"You must be Gabriel," Sam said. "I'm Sam."

"Well, Sam, do you think you could get my baby brother a refill while we have a brotherly chat?"

Sam rolled his eyes, but obliged.

What do you want Gabriel?

Gabriel winked. "I want to talk about Dean's scrumptious brother. Then I want to climb him like a tree."

Now Castiel rolled his eyes. In case you have forgotten you are both in relationships already.

"Nah," Gabriel said, "me and Kali are off again. She's staying with this douchebag, Baldur something."

Castiel sighed. Gabriel and Kali were off almost as often as they were on. At least this time he wouldn't be kicked out while they made up. There were some things about his brother that he didn't want to know.

"Do you think Sam and his girlfriend will go for a threesome?"

Although sometimes he didn't have much of a choice in the matter. They are expecting a baby, Castiel signed. So probably not.

Gabriel shrugged and put his chin in his hands, watching Sam at the counter. "A girl can dream," he said wistfully.

Luckily, Sam finished up at the counter and came back to the table.

"How do you feel about threesomes?" Gabriel asked.

Perhaps not so luckily after all.


To the person who, way back when, asked whether there would be Sabriel in this story (you know who you are), that was for you.

Also, it will never be relevant, but Castiel's sign name is angel, Dean's is pie, Gabe's is candy, and Sam's is moose. Because I'm creative like that.
