Sam kept him grounded in so many ways. It was more than giving him a home on Earth, more than giving him a place in his life and in his bed, more than even the calming weight of cool silver around his neck that reminded him that he was wanted. That he belonged.
Gadreel was his, he would always be his.
But on days when it grew difficult to think, when an angel visiting Castiel reacted to him in disgust and anger, those were the days he needed Sam the most. He needed that firm hand reminding him that he was cared for. That he was wanted.
His body is radiating tension in the doorway, hating himself for the weakness, hating his own brethren for making him feel that way. Instinct drove him to the one human who could quiet the chaos in his mind and his grace.
Gadreel's steps carried none of their usual grace as he stumbled forward, pitching to his knees beside Sam and dropping his eyes to the floor.
He doesn't know what he needs - he only knows that he needs Sam.
