Much of what I wish to say, secondplatypus has already flailed out in her epically amazingly wonderful way. I just want to add one thing:
"You called me Cas," Castiel mutters.
"Yeah, so what? It's short."
"He called me Cas."
Gabriel takes a breath. It's the first Castiel's brought up the Winchesters since they started this foolishness, and all at once Gabriel understands why.
"It really hurt, didn't it?" he says. "Having them turn their backs on you. Especially Dean."
Castiel is silent. A flinch of his brow is the only movement in his suddenly stony face.
"You could have used one good 'I get what you're trying to do here,' " Gabriel goes on. He's guessing now, but he's pretty sure his intuition is right. "Just some validation that you were at least trying to do the right thing. If he'd given you that, maybe you could have trusted him enough to give up the souls at the end."
