On the Cusp of Becoming Part 12
“Do I need to start charging you rent?” Gabriel huffs as he finds Dean digging through his fridge at eight in the morning.
He has to give the kid some credit. Dean stiffens but he doesn’t run or jerk his way back out of the fridge. He just shrugs and keeps looking for whatever it is that he’s looking for in there.
“I slept over,” Dean mutters. “Sam spent the night with his little exchange student buddy. I’m looking for something that might resemble breakfast.”
“There’s cereal in the cabinet and the milk is on the left,” Gabriel offers.
Dean sighs before shooting him a dirty look and saying, “I was hoping for something a little more high class.”
“You’re too good for my cereal?” Gabriel asks while he’s digging out his coffee.
“No I was just looking for something to make for Cas,” Dean mumbles while he scratches at his neck and kicks his foot into the kitchen table. “He’s looking a little thin.”
Gabriel rolls his eyes as he drops his coffee cup back onto the counter and turns his full attention to the other guy in the room. “Look.” He rumbles, “I’m not his dad or anything but he lives here and he’s my brother. What’s the deal with the two of you?”
Dean blinks and his mouth opens and shuts for a minute before he deflates and whispers, “Cas and I are complicated.”
“Complicated like rubik’s cube complicated or complicated like he’s the love of my life complicated?” Gabriel presses.
“Ummm, I’m thinking like the second one?” Dean mutters crossing his arms and leaning backward like he thinks Gabriel’s going to hit him in the face.
“Are you guys together?” Gabriel figures, as weird as this is he’s responsible for his brother so he needs to swallow his horror and at least attempt to act like an adult.
“Umm yeah.” Dean nods, “For a few weeks now.”
“You using protection?” Gabriel manages to grind out through clenched teeth. He can feel himself sweating. This is like his worst nightmare. He should still be having these conversations with his dates’ parents not being the grown up here.
“Dude!” Dean exclaims. “We’re not even having sex!”
“You slept here last night,” Gabriel comments likes that is the answer to everything.
“Yeah, and there was a lot of actual sleeping involved.” Dean starts standing up straighter as he adds, “I don’t get to see him as much with school out for the holidays.”
“If I skip over the rest of this threatening conversation will you just act like we had it?” Gabriel sighs.
“Hurt him and I’ll kill you, no being in his room with the door shut, use condoms, wear your seatbelt, and have him home before eleven on school nights.” Dean rattles off with rolling eyes.
“Fabulous!” Gabriel exclaims as he goes to get the paper. “Oatmeal’s in the pantry; it’ the best I got to offer you. Try the cinnamon swirl it’s like candy. Get Sam and come over for Christmas dinner if your dad is still going to be out of town.”
He leaves the kid slamming around in the kitchen, grabs the paper and heads back to his room. Gabriel needs to get a life. His kid brother’s starting to outshine him. At least Cas has good taste.
