Yay, College Parties
Wow.
Dean really has hit an all time low, how his ex girlfriend and their messed up friends got him to go to this party still confused him, he looked around room; purple and blue lights, young college kids dancing and underage drinking
Man, he needed to find Gabriel "Meg!- yes!- where is Gabriel?" He said when he spotted his friend, She shrugged "I don't know probably playing beer pong" Meg looked him up and down "Un-wind, Dean-O loosen up- you look like you have a stick up your ass"
Dean rolled his eyes "No I don't" She huffed and grabbed his arm and started leading him somewhere "What the hell-" She shoved a cup into his hand "Drink"
Dean looked at the solo cup "What is this?" Meg grinned "Liquid courage"
Dean didn't remember how many cups he had drank before he was going head to head with Gabriel at beer pong while other drunk teens watched "How are you so good at this?!" Gabriel exclaimed as they tied once again
Dean shrugged "A friend taught me" Thank god for Leo's beer pong skills, he was an excellent teacher, "He's not that good" Some voice from behind him said
He turned around "Excuse me?" He was looking at some rich kid and a white sweater sporting a watch that looked like it was worth 2 grand on his wrist "You wanna have a go?" Dean challenge- god he was drunk
The guy shrugged and 30 minutes later they were on their 2nd round of beer pong after Gabriel tagged out, Dean was drunk sure but he may have let the kid and his friends think that he was more drunk than he actually was, Gabriel knew this hence the cups of fruit punch he was giving Dean
He'd suckered the guy into one more round and this time he wasn't gonna fake it, a 2 thousand dollar watch was on the line, the cup was at the end of the long wooden table and Dean had to make the shot
Gabriel laughed as they left the party deeming it enough fun for one nighh "The look on their faces!" He smiled at his drunk ass friend "You're awesome- what are you gonna do with the watch?"
Dean shrugged "I don't know, give it to charity?"
"I still can't believe you drank that much" Gabe said scoffing at Dean, "Hey I'm in college okay?- I'm supposed to make dumb decisions- besides Meg started it" Dean protested though he was a literal mess, a few of the buttons on his shirt were undone and his hair was more messed up then Cas'
The way he looked made Gabriel thankful that he'd only had a few beers and some punch, "You my friend, are an idiot sometimes" Gabriel said as he was trying to get Dean into a proper standing position so that he could get to his phone
"What are you doing?" Dean asked, his words sounding slured but Gabriel could make them out "Calling an uber, neither of us are good to drive"
"Oh," Was all Dean could reply when he started to feel light headed, his body momentarily went limp and he stumbled almost face planting on the ground
"Woah-!" Gabriel spun around fast just as he was putting his phone back into his pocket he caught Dean in his arms, "I'm fine- I'm fine.." Dean insisted though his body was still being held up by Gabriel
They were so close like face to face close, Gabriel could smell the strong scent of alcohol on Dean's breath and he swallowed nervously
Dean looked into Gabriel's eyes and there noses brushed as they leaned in, but Gabriel managed to get back to his senses and stop before their lips touched pushing Dean away "Dean- no, we can't" He reminded Dean "Sam and Cas"
Dean nodded slowly "Right..yeah, sorry" Gabriel's phone buzzed in his pocket, he stepped away from Dean, it was a notification that their uber was around the corner
~
When they got home Gabriel put Dean into bed before going himself passing out cold when he hit the soft mattress
He shot Sam a quick text because he had forgotten to do so the night before and hopped in the shower, when he made it down stared Dean was in the kitchen pouring way too much cereal into his bowl "Morning Dean-O!" He said loudly on purpose "Shhh!-" Dean groaned "Too loud"
Gabriel chuckled "Sorry, my bad" Dean rolled his eyes "Y'know this is your fault, I only went to that party because you and Meg made me"
Gabriel shrugged swiping the cereal from him "Blame whoever you want, Mr hangover" He was happy that Dean wasn't talking about their almost kiss-he probably didn't even remember it, he didn't want to either
Dean's reply was cut short by the doorbell ringing "I'll get it"
Gabriel frowned- he didn't think they had invited anyone over or anything like that "Hey Gabe, some guy just shoved this leash into my hand- says it's your dog?"
Gabriel shot up "Dickie!" He exclaimed; he'd forgotten the dog was arriving "Hey Dickster!" He knelt down to pet him
Dean groaned "Oh don't tell me he's staying here?" He said, first Cas with the cat and now this? "I thought you liked Dickie?" Gabe questioned
Dean shrugged "I did..when I barley saw him- now he's gonna shed everywhere and do all the other annoying things dogs do"
"He doesn't mean that" Gabriel whispered to his dog "Look I'll take care of everything, I promise- Dickie is different, you guys just need to get to know each other"
"He's a dog!"
Gabriel stood "A dog that you will learn to love" He watched Dickie trott over to his little dog pillow that Gabriel used to keep in his old bedroom that he'd unpacked just days prior
"Fine, just keep him away from my stuff" He groaned and went back to his cereal
"Your prayers have been answered!"
Gabriel frowned looking up at the ceiling "God?"
"No you idiots" Meg said and Lisa closed the door behind her "It's us, by the way you should really lock your door more"
"Noted" Dean chimed in, and Meg grimaced at him "Who pissed in your coffee?"
'Hangover' Gabriel mouthed and she nodded in understanding "Why are you guys here anyway?"
Lisa shrugged making herself comfortable as she put their bags down "To study- it's Saturday remember?" She smiled at Dickie "Cute dog"
Gabriel smiled proudly "Thank you- see Dean dogs aren't terrible"
"Bite me"
"I just might Dean-O" Gabe shot back with a wink and Dean rolled his eyes ignoring him "What dumb test is this random intrusion for again?"
"Professer Abbadon- the really mean one?- she's super strict" Meg and Dean shared a class so he knew all about their evil physics professer, her real name wasn't Abbadon but they called her that as homage to the knight of hell
Yeah that's how bad she was
It's like she always had a stick shoved up her ass but everyone in their class had their own theories, Dean gave a long groan "Ugh- fuck, I hate her"
Meg sighed "You and me both buddy" Dean shook his head "I never would've majored in engineering if I knew it was this hard"
Meg scoffed "It's not she just makes it" Gabriel clapped his hands together "Well-you guys have fun-"
"Where do you think you're going?" Lisa looked at him "You're not leaving we all have to study" They were both majoring in business
Gabriel slumped his shoulders as he sighed "I know enough to just wing it Lis- I spent 3 years working with my dad"
Lisa nodded "And your parents must be proud of youyour for that" Gabriel nodded back with a grin shaking off her sarcasm "Very"
After getting Gabriel to join in on the study session by offering candy and snacks they actually all got work done and manged to cure Dean's hangover before late and spent the rest of the night watching movies until 9
Dean tossed in bed, he couldn't sleep so he went downstairs to get a drink of water and found Gabriel in the darkly lit kitchen
"Gabe?" He was usually asleep at this time of night, but his hair was a mess and judging by the fact he was only wearing boxers Dean assumed he'd probably just rolled out of bed as well "You okay?"
Gabriel gave a weak nod- god he looked like shit warmed over "You taking your meds Gabe?" Dean questioned carefully and Gabriel scoffed "My meds are the reason I'm here, I can barley close my eyes"
"So you're taking them?"
Gabriel rolled his eyes "Yes I'm taking them" He sighed rubbing at his eyes with the palm of his hand "This was so much easier when Sam was around.."
"Why?"
Gabriel shrugged "Because..he always knew what to do.. how to handle it better than I did" He sighed "I'm gonna try that sleep thing again..night"
Dean waited for Gabriel's door to close before he followed him upstairs into his own room
He grabbed his phone off the nightstand "Please pick up" He whispered
"Dean?..I was studying what do you want?"
"At this time of night?"
"Different time zones Dean"
"Whatever look it's Gabriel man, I think you need to talk to him now, he's not doing so good- and I don't think I can help him"
Suddenly Sam was less annoyed "It's his meds isn't it?"
"Yeah"
"Okay" Sam hung up and called Gabriel
~
Gabriel was staring up at the ceiling when his phone started to ring, it was late so he was confused as to who it could be
He frowned when he saw caller ID 'Sam?' "Hello?"
"Hey Gabe"
"You sound..gentle why?" Gabriel said carefully "Dean called me said weren't doing good" Sam said truthfully "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because..you aren't here Sam- I didn't see how you could help" Gabriel said "Gabriel you're hurting"
"No I'm dealing" Gabriel insisted "..You can't help because you can't hold me and tell me everything's gonna be okay"
"..but Dean's there"
Gabriel grimaced slightly taken back
"-I'm not gonna cuddle with your brother Sam"
"But you could..find somebody else to help you like I can't"
"If you're talking about sex- I don't need it, or want it unless it's with you" Gabriel paused a thought suddenly popping into his head "Do you trust me Sam?"
"Of course I do"
"..do trust me not to cheat on you?"
"Yes" Sam said truthfully "But..I can't help but think that someday you might want someone else"
"I won't" Gabriel said "I love you Sam, you're the first person I've ever said it to and trust me you're gonna be the last"
"Do you still have my shirt?"
"Yeah why?"
"Put it on maybe it'll help, night Gabe, talk in the morning?"
"Yeah..night" He put his phone the nightstand and sighed before he rolled out of bed reaching into the bottom dresser, he pulled out one of Sam's shirts that Sam had let him keep and he put it on smiling faintly at the familiar smell of his boyfriend
He slept great for the rest of the night sending a silent thanks to Dean for caring
