you can really only avoid something in new york for so long. as big as the city was , you’d run into anything you were avoiding if you weren’t careful. it’s not that gabriel didn’t miss his siblings sometimes but the idea of seeing his family as a whole didn’t exactly excite him considering how he left. for the few years he’d been back he’d managed keeping his head down from any novaks but his luck was coming to an end . he shoulder clips someone on the way to sam’s office and faint recognition holds him from apologizing at first. he has to pause, squint, think. the last gabriel had seen his brother they were teens but there’s always been something distinct about that blue eyed stare.
“hey castiel!” a grin spreads across his face. it’s forced in a way that gabriel truly does not what else to do in the situation. he probably, truthfully, should have just kept his head down and kept walking. too late for that now. “---- well this is awkward.” / closed for @heartsfm feat. castiel
