what we deserved was to see dean teasing cas and calling him an 'old man' because cas is millenia old and cas grumbles and says, "you're almost 50, dean, you're the old man here" and dean sputters and shoots back, "im not almost 50, you take that back" and it's lighthearted and silly but also there's so much genuinely earnest affection in their tones because neither of them thought they'd live this long and yet here they are, growing old together, teasing each other about sore backs and creaky knees and failing eyesight ("i dont need glasses, dean, im an angel" .... "then why are you squinting at that book, cas? here, just borrow my glasses.")
ok but listen, i love the thought of sam being completely done with dean and cas’s aggressive honeymoon phase, but what if sam learned to weaponize it against dean?
like they’re in the library and dean is going on about how sam’s hair products are a crime against humanity and his sense of smell, and sam decides that he’s had enough, and he gives cas The Look. and cas, not saying a word, reaches over and takes dean’s hand in his. and dean’s focus immediately zeroes in on cas and his hand, and his entire rant dies
or as they wrap up a hunt, sam spots a store that serves as a local market, but when he brings it up, dean just scoffs like yeah you can go get that hippie stuff on your own time. and sam makes eye contact with cas through the rearview mirror, and cas rolls his eyes before putting his hand on dean’s thigh and bats his eyelashes and says i’d like to go, dean and dean is immediately like yeah of course, babe
what i’m getting at is this: dean is whipped and sam deserves to weaponize it against his brother for a decade of third-wheeling

cas should’ve attempted to point something out to dean when they were sat stationary waiting in the impala and dean’s like “where? I don’t see it” and cas reaches out and wraps his fingers around dean’s chin and tilts his head in the direction he’s pointing to and says, “over there” but dean’s not paying attention at all because all he can think about is cas’ fingers lingering on his jaw and dean’s brain just short circuits into a mental screaming keysmash
HAPPY DESTIEL ANNIVERSARY!!!!!! pls enjoy this new springsteennatural instalment, unfriendly reminder that the angel is gay and in love and dean loves him back :)
on a sappier note, getting back into supernatural has been a WILD ride but so worth it, sending hugs and kisses to all my mutuals for making tumblr a such a fun space to escape to and make stuff for 🥰
