Dean, again, wanted to go foreword to check Sam for himself. Hetrusted Gabriel in a way he normally didn't trust people. It wasn'tthat almost instantaneous trust he had with Castiel but he did trustthe archangel. Maybe it was how similar the archangel was to him, asimilar sense of humor and justice. Still he didn't like the idea ofhim getting too close to his baby brother.


Especially with how strangely clingy the arch angel was being.However Castiel still stopped him from going foreword and though hewas obviously unhappy and the way he looked at Castiel allowing himto see exactly how much he did not like this but remained quiet.


"What the hell Gabe?" Sam asked and Dean smirked as his littlebrother knew how to handle himself, even if his own big brotherinstincts screamed at him to pull Sam away until Gabriel startedacting normal. Who knows what those psychic vampires could have doneto him? How did he know that Sam was safe when Gabriel was actinglike this?


Gabriel sighed and pulled away from Sam, but kept his hand holdinghis forearm, keeping contact up. He didn't know if it was a need orjust a want but Gabriel wasn't one to question himself about sillythings like that and definitely wasn't going to start now.


"I don't take someone hurting you lightly Sammy." Gabrielexplained wrapping his hand around the Angel Scar as Sam had takencalling the mark on Dean's left shoulder and now was wrapped aroundhis wrist. He gasped as he felt a humming at his wrist where Gabrielhad his wrist.


"I can take care of myself." Sam tried to assure but Gabrieldidn't let go and if anything seemed even more protective.


"Moose in danger is not okay." He said and sighed shaking hishead, "have you never seen Cassie react to Deano being in danger?"He asked and Sam nodded.


"What does that have to do with anything? But yes I have," itshowed that he didn't immediately question what that had to do withanything. He instead just continued on talking, telling him what hadhappened. "One time a witch hit Dean with a curse. Cas was likea...a..." Sam wasn't one to struggle for words, having been used tobeing eloquent but he still couldn't describe it. The only reason itdidn't scare him is it was all for Dean and he had to appreciate thatkind of care.


"Like a wild animal?" Gabriel suggested and Sam wanted to nod butas he did he realized, no, that wasn't quiet right.


"Well mostly." Sam explained and Dean looked over to Castiel whowas steadily looking away from him. He remembered when he got thatcurse and had woken up fifteen hours later with Castiel standing overhim watching him, and he would have yelled if he hadn't seen the fearand pain in his blue eyes, and found Sam sleeping his head rested onthe side of his bed.


Dean moved so that he could be faced with Castiel who was stilllooking down. Though he wanted to lean down so that he could seeCastiel's blue eyes but wouldn't move and wait for Castiel to look athim if he wished. He was just about to back away taking it as hisangel not wanting to when the angel of Thursday did look up at him.


Dean's throat went dry as he saw the remembered pain and fear andworry. He had seen how worried that his angel was for him when ithappened but also saw how much it still made him fear. If Dean didn'tknow better it could be that fear that Castiel had that one day hishunter would die.


"Cas acted like...like he was a-forgive the pun-avenging angel. Inever saw him look so human either, so worried. No, not worried.Scared." Sam finished and the ironic part was that bothbrothers were having a conversation with the angel that cared so muchfor them but didn't see their brother. Entrapped by blue and goldeneyes.


"Yes. Exactly their bond."


"Cas mentioned his profound bond." Sam remembered that still, hedidn't care what the angel claimed, that was why he showed up. Therewas no way that he tried to get in contact with the angel so manytimes and Dean called out to him once and suddenly he was there. Heknew when Dean called Castiel came running and though he was annoyedhe was glad with how much the angel cared so much for his brother.


"Profound bond?" Gabriel smirked and Sam wondered what his angelwas getting at. Seemed that he saw the question in Sam's hazel eyesand so answered before he had a chance to voice his question. "Itis a way to describe it. It is hard to give it words. Language is solimiting when it comes to this." He explained and hummed thinking.


"This," he squeezed his wrist, not enough to hurt but to remindSam that his hand was there. Not that Sam did, or could, forget withthe slight pleasant humming on his skin. "Is the physical showingof our own bond, just like the one on your brother." He explainedand it took Sam, who was very intelligent and normally quick on theuptake didn't get it for a while and when he did his eyes widened.


"You mean...?"


"Yes Sammy," he smirked "we have a profound bond." He smiledas Sam felt somehow...accepted hearing that.
