It was a few days after Gabriel had finally give in. He and Castiel had spent some time thrashing out the new rules and getting used to the new dynamic between them, and Gabriel hadn’t felt comfortable enough to leave his brother alone when he didn’t have classes to attend. Now, however, there was something he needed to do.
He was leaning against the side of a building, arms crossed over his chest and glaring at anyone who got too close. It was a pretty shady area of town, and he wasn’t happy that he had to be here. But this was necessary, especially if he was going to take Castiel out in the future.
Soon enough he recognised a girl hurrying towards the building, and narrowed his eyes at her. He was standing right next to the door she needed to enter, so she stopped a few feet away.
“Can… can I help you with something?” She sounded nervous, and well she should, Gabriel thought to himself.
“Yes, Katie, you can,” he moved forwards. Gabriel might not have been all that tall, but he knew how to move himself - Kali had called him her golden panther a few times - and Katie’s eyes widened. “The party at Kali’s last weekend. You met someone there, a boy of eighteen. Dark hair and bright blue eyes. Goes by Cas.”
“Uh, yeah… listen, dude, if you’re his brother, Kali’s already chewed me out-”
“Shut up,” Gabriel was standing in her personal space now, and heard her whimper. Good. “I’ve never punched a woman. Hell, I’ve rarely hurt guys. But if you come near Cas again, if you send anyone you know to him, if you approach him at a party or contact him at all… I will make you suffer. And I know where you live.”
With that he stepped away and walked off. He heard her whimper and run towards the building, and let out a dark laugh.
He might not be able to actually do anything to Katie, since he had no evidence of her breaking any laws, but he could threaten a lot. And if it came down to it… Gabriel would do whatever it took to protect his brother.
He’d be careful, though - if he did need to hurt someone, he’d make damn sure that he never got caught.
