One day, Dean finds out that cas sometimes reads his mind. He knows that the angel can do it, just never fully realized that he actually would.
At first, he feels slightly awkward. Cas can read his friggin’ mind, and that place ain’t always sunshine and rainbows. Or, in fact, it’s actually a bit too much rainbow at times. But then he realizes he can easily manipulate what Cas catches up from his thoughts. He’d started to notice similarities in the angel’s mannerisms every time he read Dean’s mind; he would pretend to be busy, get quiet and squeeze his left hand into a fist, or casually drag a finger across his chin.
He didn’t do it often, and Dean had started to learn to catch up on what Cas would do beforehand. Dean started to imagine giving Cas access to only a certain part of his thoughts. He wasn’t really sure how he did it and would never be able to explain it to anyone—but it worked. It went on like that for a while. Dean never spoke about it, and Cas didn’t either. Dean would make Cas believe that he thought about the case, the Impala, Sam, food, some deeper stuff to make sure Cas didn’t think he was entirely numb inside. Once, Dean intentionally thought about an ice cold beer. A moment later, Cas suddenly got up to get him one.
“Funny,” he’d said, giving Cas one of his charming smiles. “As if you can read my mind.”
Then, on a specifically boring day, Dean has the urge to play around with it. It had been going on for so long, and Cas still didn’t seem to realize that Dean was aware of it. He never stayed around in Dean’s brain for long, just enough to see what he was thinking of. It felt like checking up, as if he was worried, and Dean couldn’t blame him for that. In fact, he would do the same to Cas if he was able to. But he was ready for some fun.
HE’S SO HAPPY CAS IS BACK OMG HE LITERALLY JUST INCLUDES JACK WITHOUT A THOUGHT LIKE YES OBVIOUS HE’S PART OF THE TEAM, WHEN DID I SAY HE WASN’T? WHAT? yESTERDAY? THAT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE ME.
And Sam is just so relieved he doesn’t even mind his brother is basically embarrassing himself with giddiness.
From ‘the devil’/’Lucifer’s son’ to ‘half-angel kid’, that’s a pretty significant shift in terminology. Of course angel doesn’t necessarily mean good – pretty far from that – but it’s still a concept that has positive connotations for Dean because of reasons.
Dean a few days ago: I WILL KILL YOU YOU HELL SPAWN
Dean now: whatever nevermind we’re all monsters welcome to the family
Like…. honey. You’re so in love with the dude who just came back from the dead, it’s sickening.
-Dean making Cas watch Western Movies AKA his favourite things of all time
– Cas showing up naked and covered in bees
– Dean buying and managing to convince Castiel the billions of years old celestial Seraphim to wear an “absurd” cowboy hat
– Cas having personal experience that Dean is ‘an angry sleeper’
– Dean talking to Cas about personal space (Season 5 but pfft they don’t seem to care anymore about that they’re always standing so close to each other)
Which means, they argued about watching Tombstone. And then Castiel gave in because it’s one of Dean’s favorite movies in his favorite genre.
Which means, Castiel humored Dean to end the argument that pretty much millions of couples have every weekend when picking movies.
I love this show.
Can you just imagine Dean being like “look, look, look, this is the best part!” and telling all kinds of nerdy trivia the entire movie, and Cas being 500% done but watching anyways because he loves this dork.
