"Hey there all you gorgeous people!"
Dean is smiling brightly and sitting relaxed in his chair.
"I can honestly say, I am so surprised with the response I got. Apparently, you all had a lot of questions you want to ask me. Who knew? Anyways, I'll be answering as many questions as I can in this video, but for those that don't get answers, I've decided against posting the answers on my FaceBook page. Instead, I decided to get this tumblr thing you've all been telling me about. My url is DWinchesterandAngelOfThursday, 'kay?"
He smiles charmingly at the camera before finally looking down at the stack of cue cards in his hand.
"Now! First question is from Blades of Silver. 'So…Dean…if you had to pick between pie and Cas, (who for this purpose is deathly allergic to pie) what would you do?'"
When he looks up upon having finished reading the question, his eyes are wide, and they have a deer in the headlights look in them.
"Do I have to answer that?" he asks, looking from side to side as if terrified. "Because obviously the answer is that I would give up pie! No question! I mean, it's not like Castiel will do anything terrible to me if I choose the pie! Perish the thought! I just love the dude so much! Next question!"
And with this, he flips to the next cue card with a mock nervous smile.
"Next, I got two questions from MaddieLB, but since we're short on time, I'll answer one of them right now. The other will go on my blog. So, MaddieLB asks, 'So, are you and Cas dating yet? 'Cause seriously, we all know something's going on there.'"
Dean raises an eyebrow at this, seeming unamused.
"Only on the second question, and already, everything is "Cas this" and "Cas that". Don't you guys care at all about me?" he feigns hurt, sniffling and letting a crocodile tear escape his eye. Then, without bothering to wipe the tear away, he points accusingly at the camera. "This is all your fault, Cas! Corrupting all my viewers like this! I will never forgive you for this!"
Then, after he's said all this, Dean coughs self-consciously, and says, "Anyways, back to the question. No, my pretties. Cas may be insanely attractive, and funny and have the voice of a sex God but hey, I have a child to think about now. I can't go rushing into relationships without first thinking of the consequences. So whatever happens between us will happen slowly, and will depend on the level of commitment both of us are willing to put into it. I will admit that there is definitely a mutual attraction between the two of us, but that is all for now. Now. On to the next question."
He smiles a little shyly before moving on.
"Riverdalerider99 asks, 'If you could have any superpower other than flying or invisibility, what would it be?'
"Finally! A question that isn't about Cas! Now, bear with my if my answer is a bit boring, but if I could have any superpower, I think I'd choose the power to heal. Particularly, the ability to heal burns."
He ducks his head, a shy smile on his face and a blush spread across his cheeks.
"Ever since my mom died, I've been deathly afraid of losing those I care for. Silly, isn't it? But if I were able to heal them, I'd feel a bit more at ease."
He's quiet for a moment, still looking down, before shaking his head as if to dislodge all the memories, and continues.
"Now, next question is by DangoAlienSpoon, but before I say anything, I just wanna say that dude, your username is freaking hilarious and I'd love to know the story behind it. Anyways, DangoAlienSpoon and also redmasque both want to know about my celebrity crushes.
"First, my biggest childhood celebrity crush. That would probably be…Samantha Smith."
And this time, his blush is even brighter than it had been when he'd answered the previous question.
"She's not really all that famous, and I wouldn't really say I had a crush on her, but see, I saw her on this episode of Criminal Minds, and umm…"
He trails off, looking down, his face flaming.
"Why did I agree to do this in the first place?" he mutters quietly to himself before looking up and just saying, "She just kind of stuck in my mind because she reminds me a lot of my mom. There. I said it. And I swear to God, Charlie and Jo, if you two tease me for this, I will make you regret it.
"A-anyways," he stammers, "My most recent celebrity crush. That would totally be Chris Pine."
Here, he smiles dazzlingly. "So apparently, ever since I met Cas, I've gained a strong liking for pale blue eyes. Anyways, haven't got much more to say on that topic. Let's move on, shall we?
"Now let's see…MockingFire and 999068 both have questions about angels, so let's answer those next. Why do I know so much about angels, and do I believe in them and other Supernatural beings? And AngelGirl wants to know which tale is my favourite or whatever character I best identify with other than Daniel.
"Gosh, sorry guys for not reading all these out word for word, but I've gotten a lot of repeats on questions, and I'm trying to include as many of you in here as I can, but it seems to be getting a bit messy. If you want more detailed answers to all of these, again, I'll be posting them up at a later date, okay?
"Now, the reason I know so much about angels is that my grandfather is Henry Winchester. He's a pretty famous dude in this field, and you all can easily find his books on ebay or something. Why don't you read them and let me know what you thought? As for whether or not I believe in them, I'm going to have to go with maybe. You'll all be wondering what I mean by that, but the answer will come with a later question. Just be patient, eh? Now, for AngelGirl, I think I'll answer about which tale is my favourite. And for that, it'll definitely have to be the one about a certain male Norse God giving birth to an eight-legged horse. That never gets old."
By the time he finishes his sentence, Dean is quietly chuckling to himself.
"Now hmm…another question by MockingFire. Sorry dear, won't have time for that one. But I do have a very strong opinion about love at first sight. Read it on my blog later, okay? Okay. NEXT!
"Achlys asks, 'If you found out you had a sibling you didn't know about, what would your reaction be?'"
Dean's only reaction right now is to stare at the screen with wide, unblinking eyes.
"If I had another sibling I didn't know about, it could mean one of two things. Either my dad was cheating on my mom, or he had a thing with some lady during one of the many weeks he abandoned Sammy and me before he got arrested. And to be honest, in both cases, I would be furious with him not sure how I'd feel about my sibling though. Depends on what kind of person he or she would be like. But I am not proud to say I would resent them at least a little bit for what their existence would mean."
"Now, some more questions about crushes and Castiel. You know, I think I'll answer these ones together, if you guys don't mind. These answers all go out to SheWhoShallNotBeNamed – your username makes my inner fanboy go crazy – HelloAlienz, and Call me Roxy.
"No, I am not dating anyone. My feelings towards Castiel are those of someone who is considering a potential boyfriend, and thank you, I agree that Cas and I are super cute together, and I would love to do a collaboration with the guy if possible, whether it be a YouTube video, or a collaboration with our bodies."
As he says this last part, Dean wiggles his eyes suggestively, and barks out a laugh.
Once he's stopped laughing, Dean takes a deep breath and says, "Whoo. This video is getting pretty long, isn't it? Got a few more questions left though. Now, destiell wants to know if I have a special someone. Judging from your username I guess you're hoping the answer is Cas? Eh, you all know my feelings about him. Would Emma count as a special someone? Because she's special to me…
"Well, either way, I should probably move on. The user Ayabb has written this super long essay thing, and basically wants to know if I believe in reincarnation and whether or not I'd date Cas if I was given the opportunity to. I think you all know my answer to the second one, right? As for the first one, I'll let you all in on a little secret."
He leans forward, as if ready to share a secret, and his eyes are glinting with mischief.
"So," he says, "I'm not too sure about my stance on reincarnation, but I did a little bit of researching into my family tree, and you'll never guess what I found! Apparently my mom's family is especially fond of the name Dean in all its incarnations. Whether it be Dean, Deanna, Dinah, Danielle, Daniel, and et cetera. Coincidence, my dear viewers? I think not!"
He sits back, satisfied with himself, a huge grin on his face.
"Well, let's go to a question about GuiltyBystanders next, okay? I've got three to choose from so eenie meenie miny- first memory! Ugh, I'm actually debating with myself on whether I should tell the truth for this one. I wonder how much teasing I'll get from my friends? I'm not sure if this is my first memory, but it's definitely my strongest from before the fire."
He pauses, smiles shyly.
"I remember the smell of milk, and golden hair, and my mom's voice singing me to sleep with Hey Jude, because it was her favourite Beatles song."
He looks down, smiling sadly, a hint of nostalgia on his face before finally shaking himself out of it.
"Now, three more questions to go before the end! Next one is from DraekTsuna! 'Just how did you manage Sammy?"
There's a pause after he says this, and a smug grin makes its way onto his face.
"See, Sammy?" he says, looking at the screen. "Even my viewers know what a pain in the ass you are. And let me tell you guys, it was not easy, raising that little shit. He had this tendency to run away. And believe it or not, he was actually a pretty chubby kid. Didn't outgrow all that baby fat until around fifteen. Anyways, the answer to your question? Even I have no idea how the hell I did it, and I don't think I'd be able to do it again.
"Next up is insomnia1999 asking me about my funniest childhood memory! And dude, that is a tough one, considering I'm friends with some of the biggest clowns in this world. Although…I'm going to have to go with the time Sammy and I pranked these two guys who'd been pissing us the hell off. See, they had this ghost-hunting site, and I don't know man, maybe they were jealous that we were the grandsons of the Henry Winchester or maybe it had to do with all the times we'd proved them wrong about anything related to the supernatural, but they absolutely hated us, so as payback, one day, Sammy and I called up their number, telling them this bullshit story about how we were Hollywood directors, and how we wanted to make a movie based on some of their 'adventures' which they'd posted on their site.
"It was freaking hilarious, man!" says Dean, and he's almost dying with laughter. "Like, they were so freaking excited! Packed up their bags and practically ran away from home! Their parents actually reported them as missing persons, and when they were finally found a week later, stuck in the middle of freaking nowhere with an empty tank of gas, no money, and running low on food – apparently they'd gotten lost on the way – you have no idea how much trouble they were in! It was pure gold!"
Dean takes a few more moments to laugh at his own story, and when he's finally able to stifle his laughter, he has to wipe tears out of his eyes from laughing so much.
"A-anyways, that's the funniest story I could think of at the moment. Now, on to the last question! User iamnopsycho wants to know what I plan to do with my life in the long run.
"And honestly, I have no idea. I'm actually pretty content with my life at the moment. I am definitely hoping to maybe open my own garage one day, instead of just working for Bobby for the rest of my life, and I know I also want to find a nice girl or guy to settle down with, but those are pretty much the only things I can think of that I want to change. I mean, why fix what isn't broken, am I right?"
"Anyways guys, that's the end to this super long video! I hope I didn't bore you to death! Once again, I am sorry I didn't get to answer everyone's questions, on here, I hope you'll forgive me!
"So, stay beautiful, stay lively, stay safe! See you all next time!"
SkyGem: Wow that was a long one. I hope you all weren't too disappointed with how I handled this chapter. It's a bit messy and hasn't seen any proofreading, but I wanted to get this up tonight. I'll do the proofreading tomorrow, okay? And what do you think about the tumblr thing? Should I actually do it? Run an ask blog about these two adorable idiots? Please let me know! Anyways, hope you enjoyed, and I'll see you all next time!
P.S. SPNAngelGirl - Sorry I had to adjust your username a bit, seeing as it had SPN in it...and DangoAlienSpoon, sorry to you too. FFN wouldn't allow me to put the dots in...apparently it thought your username was a link or something...sorry.
