(1/3) Sam and Dean are starting at another new school today, the first day of the new semester. It's January, so it's freezing, so Sam is all bundled up. The day goes ok for Sam, he doesn't play with the other kids much (he's too shy), but most of
(2/3) them were nice enough, at least during class. Unfortunately, that didn't last during recess, which they shared with some of the older grade levels, neither of which were Dean's. A much larger older boy and his friends come up and start bullying
(3/ACTUALLY 4) Sam, including stealing his hat, until a boy from the middle grade comes and stops them. He tells Sam that he was sorry for his brother and that his name was Gabriel and did Sam need anything? When Sam says Lucifer stole his hat
(4/4) GABRIEL TAKES HIS OWN MOOSE BEANIE OFF HIS HEAD AND GIVES IT TO SAM AND THAT'S HOW THEY MEET!!!!!
EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE ME WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO WRITE SUCH AN ADORABLE FUCKING PROMPT THAT NOT ONLY GIVES ME ALL OF THE FEELS, BUT IS SO FUCKING CUTE I NEED SO MANY MORE WORDS OF IT THAN I ACTUALLY HAVE.
Oh god, and I can just picture Sam kinda wandering around the playground, wanting something to do, but really wanting his big brother there, because at least then he wouldn’t be alone, and he doesn’t want to be alone right now.
And when a hand immediately swipes his hat off his head and pushes him down onto the ground, Sam is taken by enough surprise that he doesn’t have time to react the day that Dean and Sam would, before the teacher notices. They’re older, in Dean’s grade, or maybe in fifth grade, and Sam’s just in first grade and he’s biting his lip, because his hand hurts, it got scraped, but he has to be a big boy and not cry.
He gets back to his feet, only to be shoved down all over again, this time his knees hurt, even through the poofy pants he’s supposed to wear on the playground, and he’s just about to ask them to stop (even though he knows they won’t stop, they never do), when another loud voice echoes behind him.
“Back off or I’ll tell them your real name, Luci!”
Sam doesn’t see or hear what gets heard next, but then the taller boys are walking away and he’s struggling to push himself to his feet. He looks up at the boy who ran them off and rubs at his eyes, careful to make sure he sees that he definitely isn’t crying.
“You okay?”
Sam looks up and gasps a little, because it’s an angel that rescued him. His hair is golden and peeking out from under his hat, and his eyes match his hair and he’s beautiful. Sam manages a nod (Dean would want him to nod), and smiles a little.
“Sorry for my brothers, they’re jerks. Are you okay? Did they hurt you?”
Sam bites down on his lip, because his ears are starting to get cold and he hates it. “They took my hat,” he manages quietly, looking up at the angel in front of him.
He gives a little laugh. “Well, that’s easy enough to fix. My name’s Gabriel, what’s yours?”
“Sam,” Sam says and then blinks in surprise when Gabriel takes his hat (and it has moose antlers!!) and puts it on his head. It’s a little bit big for him, and it slips down and over his eyes until he pushes it back and looks up at Gabriel. “But this one is yours?”
“Not anymore,” Gabriel says with a laugh. “Suits you more, I think.”
Sam smiled and nodded, causing the hat to fall into his again. He huffed in frustration. “It’s too big.”
Gabriel leaned down and offered his hand to Sam. “You’ll grow into it.”
Sam gave Gabriel a delighted grin. “Really?”
“You bet,” Gabriel said with a serious nod. “Come on, want to play foursquare with us?”
SPOILERS: SAM TOTALLY KEEPS THE HAT FOREVER, AND DOESN’T CARE THAT DEAN TEASES HIM, AND HE’S SEWN THE ANTLERS BACK ON AT LEAST THREE TIMES, AND HE WILL KEEP IT FOREVER, AND WHEN HE AND GABRIEL HAVE A MASSIVE SNOWBALL FIGHT AND FALL BACK BEHIND THEIR FORT (YEARS LATER), SAM JUST LEANS OVER AND KISSES GABRIEL BECAUSE IT FEELS RIGHT.
GABRIEL JUST TANGLES HIS FINGERS IN SAM’S HAIR AND PULLS HIM IN FOR ANOTHER KISS, MUTTERING THAT IT WAS ABOUT TIME HIS MOOSE FIGURED THINGS OUT.
