he wants to say that sam’s being stupid —
he’s an archangel, he doesn’t s l e e p ——
but sam’s probably just trying to simplify the
situation for the archangel’s sake ; which is
kind of equally stupid, because he’s dying,
not an idiot. he doesn’t see castiel around,
so there’s not much more that can be done,
& it’s really weird, but somehow gabriel’s a
lot more comfortable with dying this time,
because he knows the face above him, and
knows that it’s lucifer from HOME, from
before, not the lucifer who’d killed him last
time. this lucifer is safe. he knows this lucifer.
as a harsh burn begins to B L O S S O M
in the pit of his stomach, he wonders briefly
if he’s just dreaming.
but he’d have to be ASLEEP to do that.
