Lucifer and Michael had given up trying to get free and were now sitting against one wall, eyes fixed on the ground in front of them. Cas was sitting against the opposite wall, his eyes narrowed at Gabriel.

Gabriel, well he had fallen asleep tucked in against Sam's side, his breathing slow and even as he hugs his moose. Sam had slowly moved back until the two of them were lying back on the lounger, eyes shut.

Castiel was staring mournfully at the phone he'd dropped in fright when the cage had fallen, which now sat just out of arms reach on the other side of the bars. Even from that distance, he could tell Dean had left dozens of texts for him.

"I wanna lollipop Sammy," Gabriel murmurs in his sleep, eyes still shut.

Sam chuckles, shaking his head at his boyfriend as he pulls him closer. He looks up and smirks at the trapped boys. "Hows it going in there?"

Lucifer glares back, "when I get out of here, I'm going to kill you Sam."

Michael just pouts and looks down.

Castiel sighs, looking at Sam sadly. "Why can't you just let me out?"

"Sorry Cas, Gabe and Charlie would kill me."

"What does Charlie have to do with this?" Cas tilts his head, blue eyes making Sam feel slightly guilty, but Charlie the fangirl scared him more. 

"Sup bitches," Charlie pops into view, grinning widely at the cage. "Wow, Gabe has done well, this is awesome."

"This, is kidnapping," Lucifer narrows his eyes at her.

"Please let me out Charles," Castiel pleads her.

"Nope, sorry Cassie but if I unlock the door, michifer may escape before they're cannon, and no one wants that."

Sam was pretty sure he heard Michael mutter the words 'crazy fangirl' under his breath, but when he looked at the boy, Michael was still looking down.

Lucifer wraps a casual arm around Michael's shoulders, "look, you've broken Mikey, please let us out."

"Nope," Charlie grins, shoving Sam's legs off the lounger and taking a seat where they had been.

Sam narrowed his eyes at her, "hey!"

Gabe rubs his eyes tiredly, "has it happened yet?"

"Michifer? Nope," Charlie sighs.

"Can you please stop saying nope?"

"Nope," Charlie pokes her tongue out at Lucifer, who just glares back at her.

"Cas!?" Dean's concerned voice floats into the backyard. Moments later, Dean came running into the yard, phone in hand. 

"What... what the fuck?" He stops in his tracks, staring at the cage.

Gabriel giggles into Sam's shoulder at Dean's confused tone, Sam snorts as he watches Dean stare at the trapped Cas.

"Hello Dean, I would have replied to all of your messages but..." Castiel stares mournfully at his phone once more.

"Why the hell is Cas trapped in there?" Dean asks.

Gabriel plasters an innocent look on his face and shrugs. "I don't know, I mean one minute there isn't a cage, and the next... this happens." Gabe waves his hands at the cage in mock surprise.

Dean narrowed his eyes at the three on the chair. Who all just stare back calmly, and what is clearly fake innocence on their faces.

Dean shakes his head, "I can't believe you guys." He walks over to the cage and Cas stands up with hope.

"Let me out Dean, please," Cas pouts at Dean, pleading him with his bluer than blue eyes.

"I'll try, Cassie babe."

Sam's eyes widen as he hears his brother's words, ew he didn't need to hear that lovey tone coming from Dean's mouth.

Dean rattles the locked cage door with an annoyed expression.
"Charlie where are the keys?"

"Yay Dean's here to save the day!" Lucifer let's out a cheer, leaping up and pulling Michael with him.

Charlie was ignoring Dean, focusing more on her phone as she types furiously.

Sam shook his head, turning  so he was sitting comfortably on the lounger, Gabe curls back into his side. Charlie was still perched on the end of their chair, and seconds later Jo comes running into the yard with a high pitched screech as she sees the cage.

Taking a seat between Charlie and Sam on the now crowded chair and grins.

"How did you get here so fast?" Dean splutters, watching as she casually pulls out a bag of popcorn out of her jacket.

"Never underestimate the power of fangirls, Dean, never." Charlie giggles and grabs a handful of popcorn.

Sam and Gabe grab some, grinning cheekily at the increasingly confused Dean.

"I don't even want know what goes through those puny little brains of yours..." Dean shakes his head.

"You ruined that quote Deano, how dare you."

The four just chuckle and stuff more popcorn in their mouths.

"Uh, hello? Please let us out," Lucifer rattles the door. "I want popcorn too."

Charlie throws popcorn at Lucifer, hitting him square in the head.
"Stay Lucifer, good Lucifer," She snorts.

Lucifer looks down at the piece of popcorn on the ground.

"Don't even think about it Luci, that's... Oh that's just disgusting."
Michael closes his eyes and pinches his nose in despair as Lucifer eats the popcorn.

Lucifer pokes his tongue out at Michael who shakes his head in return with a fond smile.

"Please just kiss already," Jo calls out.

Dean hands Cas his phone, "I'll get you out of here."

"Not just yet Deano," Gabe raises a water gun and starts drenching Dean with what Sam could only hope was water.

Dean splutters and stumbles back, trying to defend himself against the unrelenting spray of red water.

"Jesus Gabe.... Stop!" Dean glares at Gabe, still using his hands to try and deflect the water.

Sam chuckles, "join us Dean." Then his expression saddens for a moment, "before it's too late."
Dean's expression falters for a moment at the reminder of their deadline here.

"Fine, just stop firing at me, okay?"

Gabe slowly lowers the gun, shifting onto Sam's lap to give Dean room to sit. Sam automatically wraps his arms around his boyfriend, resting his chin on Gabe's soft hair.

Dean reluctantly sits beside them, shooting Cas an apologetic look.

Another hour passes, and in that time the group of five watching the cage turned into 12. The seven to join them were; Balthazar, Anna, Garth, Kevin, Adam, Samandriel, and Meg.

Lucifer was resting his head on Michael's, eyes closed as Michael takes to glaring at the group.
Cas was still sitting sullenly by the door.

Lucifer opened his eyes in time to see the group grow in numbers once more.
"Mum? Dad?" He exclaims in disbelief as Chuck and Becky take seats on the ground in front of the lounger that the original five still hogged.

Chuck shrugs, "sorry son, but even we were getting sick of the tension between you two."

Lucifer narrows his eyes at his parents, "I can't believe you guys."

Gabe had dozed off on Sam's lap, head resting on Sam's chest as he wraps his arms around Sam's torso. Sam tightens his grip on the shorter boy, keeping his chin on Gabe's head.

He committed the warm feeling of Gabe sleeping on him to memory, knowing it wasn't long until moments like this would be just that, a memory.

The sun had gone down by now and the boys in the cage were only just visible by the light on the back porch. Michael was curled up against Lucifer, his eyes half closed. Lucifer would keep looking down at him, his eyes full of longing and love.

"How have they not kissed yet?" Charlie groans.

Then, finally, Lucifer leans in and presses a light, loving kiss on Michael's nose. Michael wakes up suddenly from his light sleep and stares at Lucifer in shock.

Then two seemed to have momentarily forgotten their situation, but Cas hadn't and he was now watching with a hopeful expression, no doubt praying for his freedom.

Michael and Lucifer keep staring at each other, noses brushing and hearts racing. (Now in Lucifer's POV)

Lucifer leans in closer, so close that his breath mingled with Mikey's. He had never felt this way before, he had never had someone who made him feel like he belonged before. And it felt nice, not being so isolated from people, he actually had friends now and it was all due to Michael.

Of course those friends had now shut him in a cage, so he may need to kill them after, but even so he could see where they were coming from. He'd been hiding his feelings for Michael for too long.

Sure, lately he had been busy trying to think of ways to keep the Winchester's here so his ships could stay together, but he still should have spent more time accepting his feelings for Mikey.

"Hey, Mikey?" He asks softly, still too lost in his friends eyes to think about their audience.

"Mm?"

"As much as I hate our friends for doing this, they.... Have a point."

Michael creased his brows in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Lucifer blushes, not being the type to confess feelings easily. "Uh you see, well, oh my dad I can't speak."

Michael's expression grew more confused.

Lucifer sighed in frustration and quickly closed the gap between them. He presses his lips against Michael's, lingering long enough for Michael to start to respond before he pulled back.

A cocky smile spreads across his face as he realised Mikey was pouting at the loss. It was then that the group let our cheers and 'finally' cries.

Michael blushes, ducking his head in embarrassment and burying himself into Lucifer's chest.

Lucifer smiled at his shy angel before looking up at his extremely weird friends.

Gabe was also looking around at their odd, yet close, family with fondness. He also realised that he wasn't ready to lose it, and he definitely wasn't ready to lose his amazing moose.

Sam was holding Gabriel tight, a small smile on his face as he tries to enjoy the night without letting the depressing thoughts in.

Dean was finally able to get Cas out of the cage, and they sat together on the outside table, arms around each other as they look up at the star filled night sky.

And, unknowingly to one another, they all made the similar wish on a shooting star that flashed across the sky above them.

'Please don't let us lose this.'
'Please don't make them go.'
'Please keep this new family together.'

Then the fireflies started appearing, little dancing lights across the dark backyard. It was as if, having heard their prayers, the universe had sent them a sign saying it would be alright.

Charlie, deciding they needed this night of happiness to keep on going, did two things. First, she snapped a photo of the group all together. Then, she plugs her phone into a speaker and starts playing music quietly.

As the night wears on, the group dance, laugh and simply hang out until the early hours of the morning.
Gabe, unable to help himself, pulled several small pranks on others.

To put it simply, it was one of the best nights in their lives.

A/N:

Hey guys! So this one was a bit later than I'd planned, but I've been pulling extra shifts at work to cover someone's shifts while they're sick and I've been very busy with NaNo and also had a touch of the writer's block as I tried to figure out where I was taking this fic.

I wrote 90% of this on my phone, at midnight, after finishing a late shift at work, so I apologise for any typos.

How are you guys liking season 13 so far?

Which character do you want to be brought back, if they could come back? Personally I want Gabriel back 😃

Peace out, wayward readers 🌈😇🌈
