“....thank you.”

It had only been a few days since Michael had been rescued from The Cage by Lucifer and Dean Winchester. Or at least that’s what his senses told him had happened but he wasn’t entirely sure he trusted them. It wasn’t the first time The Cage had given him hope just to plunge him into an empty abyss as soon he started to believe he might finally be free.

Still, there was something different about this. Either The Cage had learned some new tricks or this was real because nowhere in his remotest dreams did Dean Winchester feature, especially not as one of his saviors. Lucifer yes, but not Dean. Never Dean.

And despite all of that here he was, in the care of his brother and his very stubborn vessel. He’d spent the past few days sleeping only waking up when his stomach demanded attention. Finally feeling somewhat rested he went looking for Dean and Lucifer, hoping to get some answers.

Gabriel had had the idea for the bakery since he was a kid. He loved baked goods, loved sweets, and loved making people smile. The idea for a biblical theme came from the fact that his parents were extremely religious, and he knew they would hate him for it. Which was a bonus. Going with the darker theme of sins and Hell had been Lucifer’s idea, but Gabriel loved it. He also loved getting to work with his older brother every day.

Gabriel and Lucifer had always been close, ever since Gabriel was a toddler trailing after his big brother. They both shared the same love of mischief and chaos, both loved playing pranks (especially on their eldest brother Michael), and were both the black sheep of the family in their parents’ eyes (mostly because neither of them particularly cared about the gender of their dates and the more their mom complained the more they flaunted it).

They shared the bakery, running it together and using it to play pranks on each other. Their favorite prank was rearranging the entire shop on their days off and blaming it on bakery faeries.

But then the Winchesters started coming in. Gabriel didn’t think he had ever seen a better looking specimen than the older one, Dean. Luckily, he had a reputation for flirting with everyone so when his mouth got away from him, it didn’t utterly embarrass him as much as it could have.

Besides, he was much more interested in the way Lucifer looked at the younger brother, Sam. Gabriel had had one or two serious relationships over the years, but he didn’t think Lucifer had ever had any.
