Chapter Text
"Dean. Get up. Made breakfast." Sam hissed to his older brother. Dean sat up and rubbed his eyes, "Wha' time's it?"
"Four thirty. If we're lucky we can get out before Dad gets up." Sam said. He was completely dressed and Dean was still in his pajamas. He grabbed an AC/DC tee and some jeans, his leather jacket and the Samulet, throwing it all on over his Batman boxers.
"'Kay, bitch, let's go." Dean whispered to his brother, grabbing some bacon and toast for the road. The two settled into the roar of the Impala's engine and drove off towards the school.
.o0o.
"UP UP UP UP UP!" Lucifer nearly screamed, dancing around the room. Cas and Gabe groaned into their pillows. Anna- ever the ray of sunshine- threw her pillow in Lucifer's general direction. Diri and Hael just slept through it, they'd sleep through anything.
"Why?" Cas asked in what he assumed was God's general direction, before reluctantly hopping up and getting dressed in a button-up shirt and slacks, not forgetting his trench coat.
"Because." Luci grinned, "If it makes you feel better, Dad's making breakfast."
"He makes breakfast every day." Cas pointed out. Diri and Hael took that opportunity to bolt awake and scramble into t-shirts and jeans.
"WOULD YOU KIDS STOP BICKERING AND COME EAT?" Chuck called from the bottom floor. The kids eventually made their way down the stairs- Anna being the last one.
"Waffles. Eat up." Chuck placed a delicious-smelling treat in front of each of his kids.
"Thanks, Dad." Cas was the only one to properly thank his adoptive father before wolfing down the waffle. Trickster- Gabriel's dog- seemed to have the most impeccable timing and trotted into the room, looking around for food. The Jack Russell settled for laying his head on Gabriel's lap and giving him the most desperate puppy dog eyes Gabriel had ever seen.
"Fine, Trick, you little shit." Gabriel rolled his eyes and gave Trickster some of his waffle. Trickster swallowed it whole and resumed the behavior.
"Can somebody tell him I can't give him any more?" Gabriel sighed, placing his dish in the sink.
"No can do, but I will drive you to school for your first day." Chuck said, "Now get in the hippie van."
"Can't I drive my own car?" Cas asked.
"No. You don't want to drive that thing to school on the first day." Lucifer rolled his eyes.
"Oh, like your van's any better!" Cas rebutted.
"Now, now, I'm driving. Get in the car, you whores." Chuck chided. All of the children clambered into the van- Hael and Diri destined for Kindergarten, Gabe for middle school, Cas, Anna, and Lucifer being delivered to the high-school.
"Off we go!" Chuck said, pulling out. They found three adjoined schools and Diri and Hael were dropped off first.
"G'dbye munchkins." Luci pulled the two into a Satan-sized hug, and pecking Hael on the top of her head.
"Bye, Satan!" Diri said the response Luci had kept them up forever trying to teach them. Chuck smacked Luci lightly on the top of the head for that on when he got back from dropping the little kids off.
"Hey," Luci looked slightly offended, but climbed back into the passenger's seat (he definitely wasn't crying, and he definitely wasn't going to miss the little shits).
"Why don't you just walk?" Chuck sighed, "Gas ain't cheap, y'know."
"We're lazy." the remaining kids chorused back to him. Thankfully, the middle and high-school drop-off zones were shared, so Chuck only had to stop one more time.
"Remember, don't impregnate any women," Chuck gave his annual start-of-year speech, "And if you are bullied tell Luci, he's the only one I know who's not afraid to physically pry their souls from their bodies." Lucifer nodded proudly.
"Bye, Dad." the children said happily, Anna kissing their father on the cheek before the four of them went in to get their schedules and locker combinations.
"Hey, Lose-chester!" a voice called out for another boy. The other boy was up against the wall and sporting a bloody nose. Gabriel felt the blood rushing in his veins.
"Luci. Find Luci." Gabriel muttered to himself, turning around to do just that, but another man- Cassie would like him, Gabriel decided- appeared, almost more terrifying than Luci. Almost.
"You get away from my baby brother!" he snarled in the bully's face. The bully turned to face the shorter of the two- the younger one, by the looks of him- and said, "One day, little nerd, your precious Dean won't be around, and on that day, you're gonna taste dirt."
"Get away." Dean- the taller one- said, quite calmly. His eyes, on the other hand, were shining with a familiar fire. It certainly sent the other man running.
"You okay, Sammy?" Dean asked as Gabriel stalked away, plotting the bully's downfall.
