Well hello people. Okay is this a sequel sort of to 'To Relieve Boredom'. It will be Gabriel centric but being as it's me writing it there will be the odd chapter or two of Destiel thrown in for fun.

I hope you enjoy this little prologue, it kinda sets the scene. So have fun.

Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.

On the night of his eighteenth birthday Gabriel Novak packed his bags and left the Novak mansion without looking back once. He was not going to follow the path his brothers had laid out for him. No he was going to go his own road, do his own thing, go his own way. With that thought he got on a bus to New York City, ready to make his fame and fortune doing what he loved best. Cooking. He was going to be the best chef that the city had ever seen.

At 22 Gabriel Novak was a rising star in the culinary world. He had started at the bottom, getting a menial job in an exclusive restaurant, but he soon moved up through the ranks. What he could do with basic ingredients astounded the executive chef and he soon took him under his wing. Teaching him all he knew. Gabriel could combine flavours better than anyone, his dishes where master pieces. But it was in pastry where his skill truly shone. The things he could create with just butter, flour and eggs was without a doubt unrivalled. His attention to detail amazed. It was universally agreed that not too far in the future the name Gabriel Novak would be uttered with the same reverence as the top cake designers. His name would become known throughout the world. And he would have people and celebrities begging him to make there cakes. For every ocCasion.

This was known by all, but it was known even better by Kali. His boss's daughter and the love of his life. And she loved him too, and not just for what he could create but for who he truly was inside.

Now on his 21st birthday he had gained access to his inheritance, which was nothing to sniff at, yet he had yet to spend a penny of it. You see he had a plan. Once he had learnt all he could he was going to open his own pastry business and call it Heaven's Delights. It had always been his plan. From the day he first watched there cook make fairy cakes for them all. And he knew that that day was drawing close. Soon he would have his own business. Soon he would have everything he ever wanted, he already had Kali after all.

But then it happened. The one thing that changed his plan. His priorities shifted overnight. You see it was that night that his little brother Castiel turned up on his doorstep, bedraggled and bewildered. Hurt and upset. You see that was the night their brothers had discovered that Castiel was gay. And they had not approved.

Now Gabriel knew his brothers well. He knew that they would not let something like this go. With that thought all ideas of becoming a star and proving himself to his family left his head. Instead he searched and found a bakery for sale in a town where the name Novak had never been heard. Buying it over the phone, he packed up his stuff and he and Castiel left. Leaving the apartment empty expect for a piece of folded white paper left on the bed. It only had three words written on it, but they said it all.

I'm sorry Kali.

They settled into their new life well. The Bakery, as Gabriel had called it, refusing to use the name he had devised for his dream, was going well and Castiel had got a job at the local book store, while attending the local university studying history and literature. He graduated with the highest honours in his class and once his own inheritance came through opened his own book store which specialised in finding rare books, and gaining a name for himself as an appraiser. He never thought much about how they had ended up in this town. Gabriel refused to ever tell him what he had left behind in New York and Castiel never asked. Just the way Gabriel liked it. That was of course until Dean. But we're not there yet.

First Gabriel had to help his brother find love. He wanted him to be as happy as he himself had once been. Not that he thought of that time much, he had started to become the carefree fun loving brother mask that he wore. And he was that guy. He really was. But he was also something more.

A decade went by from Cassie graduation and her name very rarely crossed his mind. That was until the faithful night he helped get his brother back with the love of his life.

"Because what you two have is a once in a lifetime thing. You need to grab it with both hands and never let go."

As soon as those fateful words had left his lips an image of her appeared in his mind. And with it her name resonated inside him. Kali. Not that he could let his brother know. He had made his decisions. He had let her go. But he just couldn't let his brother make the same mistakes he did.

It seemed to work. Castiel seemed to forget all about his advice, or more accurately that the advice had come from him as Castiel and Dean were how happily living the life of riley together. Which Gabriel was glad of. He'd dodged a bullet there, a bullet he would continue to dodge if he could help it.

Everything settled back down to how it had been before. With Dean and Cas all loved up. Charlie an amusing friend and occasional co-conspirator against his brother and his boyfriend. Sam being, well just Sam really. And his little helper Kevin working hard. His life was calm and uneventful, apart from when he came up with his latest scheme of course. But that was part of the course with Gabriel being Gabriel. He needed some excitement in his life. He really didn't like being bored.

He finally let Dean have his pie back, mainly because he couldn't stand the puppy dog eyes Castiel gave him whenever he saw him alone, though he managed to hold out for four months which to be honest was longer than either of them expected. Then everything was once again the same.

Until the day it wasn't.
