Another Gabriel imagine, this one requested by Stealing_Gabriel. Thanks! I hope you like it 🙂 (and sorry for the delay once again! I'm not usually this late with requests)

______________

You walked into the library, more cheery than you usually are... Though you didn't know why. The boys were happy as well, looking at you with grins.

"Guys what's-"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY [y/n]!" The Winchesters exclaimed in unison and you smiled at them widely. "You guys!" You ran to them and pulled both for a hug at the same time. They wrapped their arms around you then kissed you on the cheek.

"So... I assume you guys have a great day planned," You had a michevious smirk on your lips and they shrugged.

"Well it won't be like last time-"

"We're just going to have early dinner at this new place in town. The burgers are to die for!" Dean told and your mouth salivated for a good meat-and-bun combo.

"And then we'll go for a few drinks, whatever you want on us," Sam continued, "Sound good?" You nodded your head happily, "Sounds great! Can't wait!"

"Oh and we'll open your presents when we get back!" Dean added and you smiled smugly.

You love getting presents. It was one of the things about birthdays that made it special. Well, everyone loves getting new things for their birthday but especially you because you never had the birthdays a child would have when you were younger. Your family was always on the move, busy working.

You made yourself a cup of coffee then sat with the boys in the library while Dean out on some tunes. You got up, feeling the beat, and started moving to the music, bringing Dean along with you. He laughed and you smiled.

"You should be like this everyday," He stated and you stuck your tongue out at him. Sam looked at you both with a soft smile.

"Hello Dean, Sam and [y/n]," A monotone voice greeted and you looked back, excitement crept into your face when you saw who it was.

Castiel, the Angel of the Lord.

"CAS!" You ran towards him and jumped onto him, wrapping your arms around his neck. A bit surprised at first, he then hugged you back and smiled softly.

"Happy birthday dear [y/n]," He wished and you kissed his cheek, thanking him. You swore that his cheeks turned a little red.

"I'm so happy to see you! Today's become so much better with you around now, meeting after so long!" You said, still unable to believe that Cas was standing in front of you.

You're extremely close to Castiel, and the other Angels as well. Soon after you were acquainted with the life of hunting, you were introduced to the Angels. You instantly became attached to them, feeling as though their closer to you than many humans.

You held Castiel's hand and brought him to the table, sitting him down then you sat opposite him, waiting to hear all the details.

He was in Heaven, sorting out a civil war going on between the opposing ideology of the different Angels. He was away for months, only visiting for an hour or so then disappearing without any word of return. You were so glad to see him finally.

"Now no more running off okay? At least for today and tomorrow," You requested and he thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement with a smile.

*****

Team Free Will and you went out to have some tasty food. You loved it, constantly thanking Dean for finding and taking you all to this diner.

You then went to a bar close by, had drinks and played a little pool with Sam and Dean. Cas was pretty confused at the concept of hitting a ball with another ball, with a stick. He commented that in some weird way, it seemed like golf.

After having a great evening, everyone drove home and you all sat in the library talking and laughing, and snacking on the double large portion of spicy fries that Dean had ordered for takeaway.

Castiel shared stories of Heaven, and of his brothers and sisters. They were quite fascinating, you loved hearing stories about these kinds of things.

Once the boys went out of the library all of a sudden, without saying something, leaving you and Cas alone.

"Hey Cas, um... Do you know where Gabriel is?" You asked and bit your lip, hoping that Cas would say yes.

"Well I-"

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!" Sam and Dean sang, which startled you, and you looked backed. You widened your eyes when you saw that they had a cake with candles in their hands.

They placed it on the table and concluded the song and you grinned. "Okay make a wish then blow the candles!" Dean said and you smiled. You shut your eyes and thought about a wish.

I wish for a better...

No, I have a great life with these guys.

I wish... I wish that Gab-

Someone covered your eyes and you jerked a little.

Hands covered your face, you felt them to help you guess who it was. They were soft but masculine... It had to be one of the guys by you never really pay attention to hands.

You tried to pull them away but they wouldn't budge. You reached back in attempt to push the person behind but that didn't work either.

"Guess who?"

You raised your eyebrows, realising who it was. You could never forget that voice. You couldn't believe your ears, you were convinced that it was some sort of trick... Coming from this person, it's normal.

You turned around in your seat and the hands moved away, uncovering your eyes. You jumped up when you saw that it was Gabriel, and hugged him tightly.

"Gabe! I can't believe you're here!" You exclaimed with excitement and he kissed your head. "Happy birthday, by the way," He wished and you smiled widely.

You both stared at each other for the next few moments, completely in awe of the other's presence.

"Um guys, there are candles to be blown out and cake to be cut," Dean said and poked your shoulder. You looked back to the table, a chocolate fudge cake covered in M&M's and three candles was waiting to be eaten.

"I can believe it. You are truly a hero," You looked at him, completely impressed and fascinated at Gabriel. He smirked and shrugged, "Well... I may be better at the story telling side than reporting it in it's proper form but yeah, I am pretty heroic."

You nudged him and chuckled. He smiled and looked at you with his head resting on his hand, "So, what's my girl been up to lately?"

You frown, unable to sound the least bit interesting. Gabriel notices and sighs, "I'm so sorry [y/n], I should have been here for you. I left you with these guys... Bored out of your mind and I should have been there at least for the past week till your birthday. I didn't even bring a present!"

You held his hand and squeezed it a bit, "Hey, Gabe... It's okay. You being here right now is enough for me. I wouldn't ask for anything more... But I won't deny that it was really boring with just me and the Winchesters in this huge place."

You both stay silent for the next few moments, staring at each other deeply till he moves closer and breaks the gaze. "Hey, I may actually have a present for you, at least I hope you take it as one."

You looked at him eagerly, curious to hear what he had to say. "I... I've been meaning to say that for a while [y/n] and I think now, on your birthday, is the best moment to," He said and took a deep breath, "I... I-I love you."

You blinked a few times, trying to read the expressions on his face to see if he was playing a trick on you... He's known for that.

"Gabriel... Y-You lo-love me?" You stuttered and he bit his lip. "Yeah I'm afraid I do," He replied and you swallowed hard.

You just... Stared at him without responding with anything in particular.

"I think... I think I'm supposed to kiss you now," He stated and you shook your head a bit to knock you out of your trance. Without saying anything else, he planted his lips ok yours and you immediately gripped his hands tightly.

You didn't realise it but at a moment, deep in the heated make out, you both stood up and he lifted and placed you on top of the table.

You felt moan at the back of your throat and you didn't try to lower it down. He kissed you harder when he realised that you were unconsciously asking for more. At the moment, you had forgotten that Angels can read minds. But you didn't care, he was giving you what you wanted.

You pulled away, gasping for air and gripping his shirt. "F!@# Gabriel, you're making me hot!" You said breathlessly and he smirked, rubbing your thighs slowly.

You groaned and he laughed. You smacked his chest, "Why are you laughing?! Don't ruin this moment!"

He kissed your neck softly, whispering, "Would this qualify as a birthday present? Me, you and a night in your bedroom?"

You looked into his eyes and licked your lips lustfully, "You know me so well Gabe."
