~*~*~*~

Sam sat on the bed, watching Gabriel put together a trumpet. He had wanted to hear Gabriel play the actual trumpet, but he was told it would cause another apocalypse, so he had agreed to hear him play a normal one. Cas and Dean had come back, and Dean was looking happy, really, really happy and Cas was looking very proud of himself.

They were like one huge multi-species family.

Sam watched as Gabriel inspected it, like it was some fine wine or something, while Dean and Cas- Cas had really wanted to hear this too- curled up on their own bed, arms wrapped tightly around each other. Sam couldn’t help but smile and feel glad for his brother and his angel, they had all been through hell and back, it was nice to see some good come out of the-end-of-the-world.

Once Gabriel looked content with the trumpet he brought the instrument to his lips and played a note. The sound ran through the room and made the hair on Sam’s arm stick up, but in a pleasant way.

When Gabriel started doing the scales, or what he could amount to call scales, Sam watched Cas’ brow furrow. Gabriel was mixing them up, randomly placing each note in a random order, instead of the regular scales. Sam couldn’t help but grin at his angel as he knew Gabriel was doing this on purpose. Still, the sound was beautiful and hung in the air like fog.

He continued this, till Cas’ face lightened as he realised what Gabriel was doing. Gabriel grinned at his younger brother before tilted his head, eyes locking on Dean. Sam raised an eyebrow and was about to ask Gabriel what he was going to do, when he heard the opening to one of Dean’s many ACDC songs. Sam chuckled and rolled his eyes.

Then Gabriel switched the tempo, keeping the rhythm and notes, he made them all a bit higher, giving the tune a more ‘popish’ feel then mullet rock. Dean made soft choking sounds and stared at Gabriel a look that said he was going to disown the angel. Sam couldn’t help by double over with laughter, and he didn’t miss the grin on Gabriel’s lips as he continued.

“Gabriel, you can not just play a simple tune; Can you?” Castiel spoke in a serious tone. “Must you make a game out of everything?”

Gabriel lowered the trumpet from his lips.

“Yup.” He brought it back to his lips before turning to Sam, and lowering it again. “So, anything you want to hear specifically?”

Sam shook his head and Gabriel nodded, bringing the trumpet back to his lips, he played a soft tune. Sam blinked and listened intently as Gabriel continued. He’d never heard this song before, but the way Gabriel played it was beautiful; he was really good with the instrument.

Sam was dazed by the time Gabriel was done, and leaning slightly against him, eyes half closed and content. Gabriel smiled and wrapped an arm around his waist, pulling him closer before placing a kiss on the top of his forehead before leaning down to whisper in Sam ear.

“That was called Candy, forget who it is by.”

Candy; figures.

The End
