Having the four archangels assigned to you was something out of this world. Literally. It was special, you were never really alone growing up, because you had them, watching over you, making sure you were safe and happy. It was perfect, especially when you were younger since your parents never really got you.
And even though Raphael never cared for you, having the other three there was amazing. They looked after you.
Michael; the eldest angel, he acted like the eldest. Always bossing the others around, it made you giggle when you were little, you'd call him Mr grumpy some days. Michael was stern, and was always there to remind you of the rules, but most importantly he always reminded you that you were safe, and would forever be safe. He clashed with his brothers often trying to keep you safe.
6 Years Old:
"Faster Gabie!" You giggled as you ran to the swings, it was a rainy miserable day, your favourite to go to the park, it was empty. Gabriel kept up as you ran towards the swings, Gabriel didn't struggle to keep up to your little legs as you ran, but that didn't stop you from always telling him to run faster.
You jumped onto the swing and Gabriel started pushing you.
"Higher!" You squealed, you were going so high, you could almost see over the tops of the houses around the park.
Suddenly the swing came to a halt, and you weren't up high anymore, you frowned and looked behind you, wondering why Gabriel had stopped pushing you, but instead of seeing Gabriel, you saw Michael standing next to Gabriel, looking very grumpy.
You pouted at them and hopped off the swing and skipping towards your angels.
Michael smiled softly at you, and crouched to your level.
"Why are you grumpy Mikey?" You ask.
He brushed your hair gently.
"I'm grumpy because Gabriel wasn't being safe with you" He frowned "He was pushing you too high, you could of been hurt"
"She was having fun" Gabriel grumbled.
"Mikey it was so fun, I was so high, I just wanna fly, like you" You pleaded. Not understanding why you couldn't go high, you weren't breaking any rules, just having fun.
Michael sighed and gave Gabriel a very annoyed look.
"Pleeessee" You pleaded throwing your hands around Michael's neck, hugging him tight.
Michael let go of you, and stood up. He ran his hand through his hair. You pouted at him, and looked up at him with wide eyes, a look that always got you want you wanted.
"Fine, you can go high on the swings but I shall stay here and watch, to make sure you're safe" Michael grumbled, Gabriel rolled his eyes and picked you up, he spun you around and placed you back on the swing, you both giggled as you got what you wanted.
Lucifer wasn't around much as you grew up, you weren't allowed around him, mostly due to him and Michael not getting along, also you once mentioned Lucifer's name in front of your parents and they shipped you off to all kinds of therapies and camps thinking you worshiped the devil.
Lucifer had scared you at first, you last hear of him when you were around seven. And since then you didn't mention him, nor did Michael and Gabriel.
You had heard about the devil, obviously, but he was suppose to be red, and evil, covered in fire and blood, and that was so untrue.
15 Years Old:
You hated it here, your parents had moved once again, which meant another school, people were never nice on the first day of a new school. You had never had an actual human friend before, you were always moving, and your parents liked small towns were everyone knew each other, and they didn't want to befriend the new girl.
So your only friends were the archangels, and a few other angels. Castiel was one of your closet angel friends, he was awkward and you related to that.
Your parents ignored you as you walked into the house, signing you raced upstairs.
"Michael, Gabriel I missed you so much today" You said as you were opening the door, you knew they'd be there waiting. But you froze, there was someone else here. Another archangel maybe? You weren't sure, he didn't look right, he was more built like Michael and Gabriel but his skin was covered in red blotches, they looked painful.
You shuffled over to Michael, standing as close to him as you could, he instantly wrapped his arm around you.
"This is our brother Y/n" Gabriel said, he didn't look happy, which made you feel very unsafe.
"I'm Lucifer" The man smiled, he stepped forward, but you stepped one step back slightly behind Michael now.
"I suppose you don't remember me" He asks, you shake my head.
Remember him from where...?
"I'm going to help you remember princess" Lucifer said reaching his hand to the side of your face, you flinched and held on tighter to Michael's arm.
"It's okay sweet" Gabriel smiles softly at you.
Lucifer touches the side of your head, and suddenly memories came flooding into your mind.
-
Lucifer playing in the garden with you when you were four, him helping every time you cried before the age of seven, him holding your hand every time your parents would yell at you.. When he had to go away...
-
"Luci, I remember you" You smile and let go of Michael's arm, he opened his arms to you and you threw yourself into the hug.
"I missed you princess"
And Gabriel, he was your best friend, the light in your life, he was such a goofball, he always knew how to cheer you up, always helped you when you were stressed out.
18 Years Old:
You ran to your room crying, school wasn't the problem this time, it was college. Problems seemed to follow you wherever you went. You threw yourself onto your bed and sobbed, letting all the pain out through your tears.
"What's up sweet?" You heard a flutter and then the bed dipped as Gabriel sat next to you, his hair soon stroking your hair.
You sat up and he opened his arms for you, and you buried your head int his chest and tried to even out your breathing.
"Wanna tell me what'ts wrong?" He asked
"I still can't make any friends" You whisper
"You have us sweet" He said, kissing your forehead
"Yeah but Gabriel I have no human friends, what if you leave me one day" You whimpered.
"We're never going to leave you" Gabriel said, stroking your hair once more.
You didn't believe him. Michael and Lucifer never stopped fighting, and you knew Gabriel hated his brothers fighting, what if he ran away from it. And what didn't help was Raphael didn't like you, and taunted them for looking after you.
-
You hadn't seen your archangels in years, you couldn't believe it, your parents had been killed and you nearly with them, but two men saved you, and when those men found out you knew Castiel, they brought you home with him, like a stray.
Sam and Dean Winchester.
You liked them well enough, they were a bit hostile at times, you think they only put up with you because Castiel asked.
You were sitting in the bunker, you felt so alone, without your archangels.
Michael and Lucifer were locked in the cage, and Gabriel he was probably dead for all you knew. You had never gone so long without them, thinking of it made tears slip from your eyes.
"Would you like a drink Y/n?" Sam asked you, you shook your head.
You didn't know what to do, you felt so alone.
"Cas I need them" You whimper.
"Who?" Dean asked, both him and Sam were looking at you, they didn't know about the archangels being yours.
"Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer" You said, more tears slipping from your eyes.
"And how exactly do you know them?" Dean asked
"Y/n was assigned the four archangels when she was born, maybe before" Castiel went on to explain your relationship with the archangels. The brothers listened but you could tell they found it odd.
"But they left me" You frown. "They promised me"
They promised you'd never be alone, you'd never be upset. But here you were alone, and in need of your archangels.
