OH GOD, TALK ABOUT GLORIOUS FUCKING RETURNS, I CANNOT GET OVER HOW FUCKING WONDERFUL THIS IS.  GAHHHHHH, I MEAN, FUCK.  FUCKING HELL.  

*deep breath*  

OH GOD.  OH GOD.  OKAY.  OKAY, I CAN FUCKING DO IT I PROMISE.  

But like, I can just imagine Sam staring at Gabriel, at the archangel who died for him, because, of course, of course Lucifer would have told him that Gabriel had died, stabbed with his own angel blade, and that has just added to the guilt that Sam feels about this whole thing.  

He’d never wanted anyone to die for him, but the idea that an archangel, one of four creatures that were beyond powerful, had died for him, for him of all fucking people…he just, he wasn’t worth it.  

And now, now everything came rushing to the front, that first initial attraction to Gabriel as the Trickster, the anger and hate for hurting Dean, but the fact that, in the end, Gabriel saved them, and gave them the means to save the world.  

Sam is striding forward and wrapping his arms around Gabriel, pulling him in close and against his chest, pressing his face to his hair and inhaling a scent he couldn’t place, but was so uniquely his that he couldn’t help but want more and more of it.  Gabriel is stiff in his arms for a few minutes, just like Castiel always is, but then, the angel relaxes and sags against him.  

Sam is pretty sure he’s never felt anything as wonderful as Gabriel’s hands tangling in his shirt and pulling him in closer.  In the back of his mind, he noticed Dean and Castiel leaving and he may have tightened his hold on Gabriel just a little bit.  

Gabriel clears his throat and whispers against Sam’s chest.  “So, I take it you missed me, kiddo?”  

Sam’s half-laugh, half-sob makes Gabriel’s Grace ache, and he spares a moment to wonder just what Sam has gone through in the years that have been between this moment and then.  But for right now, for right now, he does nothing but wrap Sam in his wings, and if he doesn’t know any better, Sam relaxes a little further, his soul brightening.  

And later, when they find their way into bed together (and jesus christ the hate sex is glorious, especially when it melts into something far more gentle and worshipful), Sam knows that he’s found something wonderful and maybe even something that he can keep.  

And he wants to keep Gabriel.  The first time he admits it to the agent, oh, Sam wished he had taken a picture of the SMILE Gabriel had given him, even if it will be forever burned into his memory, is absolutely worth anything and everything he ever went through.

No but imagine Gabriel becoming wise to the fact that Sam doesn't think he deserves it. Doesn't deserve his loyalty, his devotion, his adoration. Imagine how Gabriel would go out of his way to treat Sam with kindness and absolutely drown him in affection. It'd get to the point where Dean would just be a crab around the bunker because he can hardly turn a corner without Gabriel either leaning on the younger Winchester, draping himself all over him, smacking his ass as he walks by or trying to plant one on him. Cas starts getting grumpy for entirely different reasons. And Sam would slowly start getting addicted to it. And that's dangerous in their lifestyle. But he just... He can't pull himself away. Not a single time. The smells of lightning and sugar and just a touch of mint blend together perfectly somehow in Gabriel, and there is slowly becoming no part of the archangel that he can go without. So he freaks out a bit. Maybe starts to pull away. Until one day Gabriel just stands in front of him and he's not just 'ally of the Winchesters' or 'the Trickster' anymore He is Gabriel the Archangel and he's not letting this /him go without a fight. And there's yelling and screaming again until Sam is fighting back tears and yelling "WHY WOULD YOU DIE FOR ME?" and Gabriel's throat is /raw as he screams that he LOVES him that he has never loved another creature so /fiercely as he loves Sam Winchester And Sam's incomprehension becomes need And well, there your description of their activities pick right up nicely now don't they ;)
