Has anyone else seen the S10 gag reel yet? I think I about died when Jensen yelled, "Get it out! Get it out!" and then mouthed 'It's so big!' I swear, Jensen and Misha do half of their touchy-feely stuff just to troll us with Destiel shipper feels -_-
Thanks to noxsoulmate and River for their reviews! :D
2. Friendship
Dean had regarded Cas as a friend for a while. But that didn't mean he'd immediately become besties with him. In the whole year that they'd worked to stop Lucifer from breaking free, he'd barely tolerated the angel who had been Heaven's bitch. And sure, he'd been sad when Cas had died for them after Raphael had smote the crap out of him but he wasn't exactly wailing like if, say, Sam or Bobby had died.
Dean wasn't exactly sure when he'd started to consider Cas as a friend. He knew it was sometime during the year they'd tried to defeat Lucifer, while Cas had literally been falling for him. That alternate future that Zachariah had sent him into had also shocked him to the core when he'd seen that End Cas (as he called him) had willingly walked into a trap and sacrificed himself – all for him. All for Dean.
So yeah, their friendship had had a rocky start. Hell, it had taken a year for Dean to even consider calling Cas more than an acquaintance or an ally. But now they were here and Cas was one of the closest, most important people in Dean's life and he knew that, like with Sam and Bobby, if anyone touched Cas then there would be hell to pay.
After all, what were friends for?
