It was beginning to become a disturbing pattern for them; something would happen the previous night, followed by an awkward 'morning after' conversation. Even after a night of mind blowing sex, Dean wasn't exactly in the best mood this morning. Memories of what he walked in on last night came rushing back the moment he woke up. When he realized that Cas still let them have sex, even after what they had seen, it bothered him. To be fair, he pushed for sex but that was because he didn't remember what he had witnessed. Part of him still wished he didn't remember anything about what happened.
At the diner, both Dean and Sam drank their coffee in silence. As uncomfortable as it was for them to sit across from each other, it was better for both of them like this. It allowed them to be somewhat open about what they felt without anyone else being involved. When it came down to it, they were still brothers and they needed to work things out by themselves.
"So here we are again," said Sam.
"We've really got to stop letting this kind of stuff happen," replied Dean.
"Tell me about it."
"Why him Sam? You've never showed any interest in ..."
Dean stopped himself from continuing. He wasn't really into guys until he had met Cas.
"I mean he's an …"
Dean stopped again.
He couldn't exactly criticize his brother getting involved with an angel since he was already doing that himself. There was still one thing that confused him about what had happened.
"Of all people why him? Ruby was bad enough, but him, seriously?"
"Look it just sort of happened. It wasn't like we planned it. I mean you didn't exactly plan on hooking up with Cas, but it's been how long now? Let's not forget how I found out about it."
Dean's face flushed. He had hoped Sam wouldn't mention that last part. They had been careless and got caught in a similar position.
"That's different."
"How Dean? They're both angels."
Dean frowned. There wasn't much he could say to that statement. Castiel may be loyal to them now, but in the past there were external factors to take into account. However since the moment they met him, Gabriel had been causing them nothing but problems. Sam had told him in great detail about all the different ways he apparently died during their time at the Mystery Spot. But given Gabriel's angelic powers, if he had really wanted them dead he could have killed them a long time ago, regardless of the Apocalypse. Even Castiel wasn't a match for an arch-angel in terms of raw power. Given who Sam was with now, compared to who he used to be with, Dean didn't know whether it was an improvement or not. After all, they had been screwed over by both demons and angels over the years.
However before Dean could question Sam any further about the events of last night, two men appeared out of nowhere, joining them in the booth. Dean groaned. They were the last two people on Earth he wanted to see right now. Castiel was his usual solemn self, while Gabriel put his arm confidently around Sam's shoulder.
"Hello boys," Gabriel grinned. "Missed me?"
When Sam felt a hand running down his thigh, he jumped in his seat, hitting his knee on the table. He cursed from the pain.
"Hands on the table, now!" Dean growled.
Quickly Sam removed the angel's hands from his body and placed them firmly on the table. He tried awkwardly to scoot away from the angel as much as the booth would allow him. He didn't want to get groped in front of his own brother.
"I'm just having a little fun. Besides I did a lot more than that just last night," said Gabriel smirking at Sam.
Furious, Dean clenched his fists in anger. He wanted nothing more than to punch that smirk right off of his face.
"Gabriel…," Castiel warned.
The arch-angel with a self-satisfied smile looked towards Dean, like he knew what he was thinking. They both knew he couldn't hurt him but Dean wished he could more than ever before. Castiel's hand on his shoulder was the only thing keeping him relatively calm.
"You slept with my little brother."
"So what? You're sleeping with mine."
Dean glared at him. As much as he didn't want to admit it, the angel had a point. It still didn't change the fact that Gabriel had defiled his little brother. Dean shuddered at the memory of what he had walked in on last night. He was almost tempted to get Castiel to make him forget again.
Since neither brother knew what to say, Gabriel decided to be the one who would break the silence, and in his own way, help break the tension between the brothers.
"I've got to admit I'm a bit impressed with you Dean. It's not every day I hear one of my brothers make that kind of sound with a human. That's some technique you have. Though Sammy here isn't too bad himself."
Sam looked away embarrassed while Dean continued glaring. The last thing he needed was a compliment from that dick after what he did.
"I don't need to listen to any of this," said Dean angrily.
"Gabriel…," Castiel warned again.
The arch-angel smiled at his little brother.
"Relax, I'm just praising him. Honestly you've always acted like you had a stick up your butt, but now I know you just needed somewhere to put it."
The look on Castiel's face told him that he had crossed the line.
"Got to go!" Gabriel said before vanishing.
Immediately Castiel disappeared.
With the two angels gone, once again the two brothers were alone. After what they just went through, it made things even more awkward for them to continue their previous conversation. There wasn't much else left to say that hadn't been said already. They both wanted to pretend the previous night had never even happened.
"I really wish you'd pick better fuck buddies in the future."
"Yeah...I'm going to keep that in mind," replied Sam.
As their waitress set down their breakfast on the table the two brothers drank their coffee in silence. Each lost in their own thoughts, yet both were thinking about angels.
Author's Note
Special thanks once again to Ventorum for editing this chapter.
This is probably going to be the last chapter of Bedroom Battles. I have thought about doing a bonus (involving Dean and Castiel and what happened) but I don't know if I will.
For those of you who wanted more of a story involving the 'making babies' part I have written a story that takes place right after this one called Baby on Board.
This story is part of a series of Supernatural fics. If you want to check out this series or other fics I've written check out my profile. It has all the stories listed in order.
