A Choice

"So that's how you end this Sam." Lucifer has never looked quite so smug as he laid out his proposal. "Have sex with my brother and I'll make all of this go away."

"Lu, don't do this."

"He can do this my way Gabriel, or he can watch you die."

Gabriel turned away from the ruined face of his brother's vessel. He was willing to give up ending the world for the sake of breaking his heart, of destroying any chance Gabriel might have had with Sam. Tainting every future interaction with this.

"Sam.. just go. You don't have to do this."

Sam hadn't even really had the chance to catch his breath before he was suddenly back in the Impala, dressed. He blinked in confusion, looking around as he braced a hand on the back of the seat. "Hey--"

For a moment, there was a rush of panic that maybe it was Lucifer's doing, maybe... maybe the whole 'I won't lie to you' had been crap after all. But no, he knew it was Gabriel's doing. Keeps his promises, huh?

He pushed himself to sit up and pushed a hand through his hair. Even the afterglow of what had been... pretty mindblowing sex wasn't enough to keep him from thinking about what had happened, what was going on. He scooted to the door and slipped out, looking around.

Right outside the motel where it should be, but Sam couldn't bring himself to go in yet. "Gabriel?" He started, uncertainly. Had he come with him? Would he pop up soon?

Sam spun when he heard the familiar sound of an angel touching down and Sam kind of hated that he felt he was being torn in too many directions with what he felt. Relief, anger, worry... definitely this awkward feeling of not knowing what he should do. They were both cleaned up in the blink of an eye, almost like they hadn't been having sex moments ago.

But the soreness he felt when he stepped forward was a confirmation that it had happened. "Jesus, what were you thinking? What if he decided to not keep up his end of the bargain, huh. What if he killed you?"

Yeah, it was to go with that than it was to touch on the fact that Gabriel apparently loved him for... whatever reasons that Sam wasn't having an easy time seeing in himself anymore. "What did he do after I left?"

"How was it supposed to end?" Sam frowned slightly, bringing up a hand to push through his hair absently, smoothing it back away from his face. He knows, he thinks. He wanted a fight, he wanted Sam to hurt Gabriel more, but...

How could he do that?

Of all the things to piss him off, this wasn't one of them.

"Forget it," he finally murmured after a moment. It's awkward again and he can't help the way his shoulders slouch a little with how tired he feels all of a sudden.

"Are you... okay?"

[personal profile] worldfelldown 2013-11-05 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm not that tired yet." Also a lie. Maybe he wasn't exhausted physically exactly, but mentally and every other way? Yeah, totally. He let out a sigh and slowly approached the angel. He didn't get too close though, not yet. He didn't think either of them were ready for that.

"You don't have to keep watch. You--" He paused, biting at the inside of his cheek lightly. He wasn't sure what to say here, how to smooth things over again.

"I didn't call you for that. I just wanted to make sure you were alright, that's all."

"I don't understand why you'd choose... me of all people." He shrugged. He could let it go. He knew that. He knew Gabriel wouldn't force the issue, but part of him couldn't let it go. He just wished he knew what to do next.

"I don't feel okay with just leaving this as it is, not after what you showed me back there, man." His jaw tightened briefly.

"And what did you mean, you were going to help me push him back into the Cage? Do you really think it's possible?"

Sam had to look down at that, but he was smiling a little. It caught him off guard, to hear Gabriel say that about him, to hear an angel say he was anything besides some sort of abomination. He appreciated it though. "I don't know... and I realize that's not an answer. I don't want you to leave right now though."

He shifted a little bit, just a bit closer. "You said it's the rings, right? Just help us collect the rest of them... I can do the rest."

"I doubt I can talk him into anything..." Trick him maybe, push him. He doesn't know, but he'll figure some way to drag him back down to Hell where he belongs... where he won't be able to hurt anyone else. He squares his jaw.

He hadn't exactly expected agreement here, but the fact was... "It's my mess to clean up. I'm not letting anyone else take the fall for me, you know? Not you, not Dean... no one can protect me from this."
worldfelldown: (neutral } look down)

[personal profile] worldfelldown 2013-11-05 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"You're helping enough with the rings." He smiles sadly. He didn't exactly want to do what he was planning and if there was a way to get him in without sacrificing anyone... Sam was all ears. He didn't think that was going to be the case though.

But there was one thing he could do, he figured. One thing for Gabriel and one thing to maybe help himself figure out some things. Loving someone else, having someone love him... it hadn't even been on his list of things that might happen before the end. He didn't know how to deal with it now, not when he pretty much figured he wasn't getting out alive.

"You can, uh... if you want, you can stick around awhile? Keep me company. I'm not... really ready to go talk to Dean yet." This might be a horrifically bad idea after the coercion earlier, but... part of him stubbornly didn't want the devil to win this one too. "We kind of had to skip dinner and go straight to bed anyway."

"Yeah... let's go." He slipped his hands into his pockets and moved to Gabriel's side to start walking. Driving meant he had to go grab the keys and a walk didn't really bother him all that much anyway. He had no idea what to say all of a sudden. There was tension just underneath the surface and he wasn't going to lie and tell himself it was all just because of what Lucifer made them do earlier. He knew he was at least partly to blame with what he brought up earlier.

Might've been better to save the ring talk for later.

Shaking those thoughts off for now, he gave a brief look over. "Look... I'm sorry. I wish things could be different."

"I'm not talking about the... way you feel or the way I feel, you know." Despite being the brother more open to talking, Sam felt like he was kind of at a loss here. He didn't know how to go about this conversation, but leaving it hanging wasn't doing them any good either.

Besides, it kind of tied into what Gabriel was asking him to do anyway. "I'm sorry because I don't think we'll get the time to really work on anything or... or explore this, whatever it is. You can look, but I really don't think you'll find anything."

Because they weren't ever that lucky, were they? "And I'm not letting anyone else die because of me. No one else is handling Lucifer."

"I'm not doing anything," He sighed as he settled into the booth across from Gabriel, hands absently resting against the table. He waited until the waitress who brought their menus and took their drink order left before he even thought about speaking. Sam wasn't entirely sure how much privacy they were going to get here, but it was late and there weren't too many people around them right now, so there was that.

"You're putting words into my mouth. I don't tend to really let myself think about stuff like that anymore, you know? I mean, my relationships don't last and it's too easy for me to get people hurt." His expression saddened a little. as he met the angel's eyes. "Look, we aren't even technically together and you still got dragged into something horrible."
worldfelldown: (surprise } caught offguard)

Sam's expression softened. He wasn't a stranger to that... how easy it was for brothers to hurt one another. When you knew someone so well... you knew which parts to hit that would hurt the worse. Sam still didn't like that it had to be him that was used in all of this... didn't enjoy being the one to hurt Gabriel. It was... difficult to picture too, Lucifer being anything other than what he was now.

Actually joking, caring about someone other than himself, his own ends.

"See?" he huffed out a laugh that was so far from amused. "It's just... the guy who came up with the platypus is the same guy telling me he loves me. I mean, you're an angel. I used to pray to you guys, pray to God-- before I knew what a lot of you are like." Before he realized most of them probably weren't listening to him anyway, because he's been tainted since his crib, set on one destiny.

He shook his head and cradled his coffee cup in his hands, not quite drinking from it yet. "I'm not doing anything yet. We don't even have all the rings."

"But still... most humans don't get this and yeah, I know my life isn't exactly normal. It's still... I don't know." But it was good to hear the vote of confidence in humans as a whole, to know that Gabriel was really on their side this time and not insisting they play their roles. They were roles Sam didn't want to play. He didn't want to fight Dean, didn't want any more death on his hands than necessary... certainly not half the earth.

"Maybe after all this... maybe they can change too." Sam wasn't as hopeful, but he'd seen Cas change for the better. He'd seen Gabriel change as well. Maybe they could help them or maybe it was a fool's hope. Either way, if they really locked Lucifer back up and God really didn't care enough to come back? They were going to be lost.

"What do you think you'll do after all this is over?"
