Shore me a leave

Call it head cannon or fanfic... whichever you prefer. The sun is cracking and I present a post coital moment between Dean and Cass. With extra angst.

For some reason it occured to me recently to treat every time cass and Dean are alone in the car as postcoital and see how it tracks. Tbh... it tracks well, even on some level for (plug your ears: wincest) everything (at least on a metaphoric level), pretty much. Because the car scenes are usually tending towards soft, open and vulnurable, or ie... how men often are mainly after their arousal has been sated🤷🏼‍♀️. In any event... back on track. To literally treat Dean/Cass in the car as "after sex" whenever possible.

So here I am, watching 11X23. God is dying, the sun is cracked and Dean has taken Cass on a beer run cuz hes not in tbe mood to die sober...

Now it just kinda makes sense, the world is ending and Cass has just come back from being Lucifer's vessel for the failed plan against Amara. So... if we are assuming that Dean and Cass are sexually involved (some do, some don't), either fornourpose of head cannon or fan fiction... then of course they've just done it in the back seat of the impalla. There is no way that they wouldnt have. The world is gonna end and your love just came back to you... time to say your intimate goodbyes.

So let's hop on tbe dialogue...

DEAN: *looks over at cas, back and over again* how you doing, ya good? (Checking in after sex)...*Cass doesnt respond* I mean... the whole Lucifer thing.

Cass: I was just so stupid.

Dean: No.. no..no.. you weren't stupid. You were right to let Lucifer ride shotgun. (It's ok, I'm not mad at you for 'hooking up' with Lucifer, it had to be done)... me and Sam wouldnt done that... *gives cass doe eyes*

Cass: yeah well it didnt work

Dean: no but it was our best shot. And you stepped up.

Cass: Well, I was just trying to help.

Dean: And you do help Cas. (Now dean kinda pours his heart out, showing Cass the appreciation he rarely does.) Ya know i- sometimes me and sam, we got so much going on, we forget about everyone else. (Yeah I realize I take you for granted, but i want you to know i do appreciate you, even if it doesn't seem like it.)

Cass: well you do live exciting lives (maybe feeling a bit uncomfortable with the gushiness, or just wanting to let dean off the hook.)

Dean chuckes: yeah that's one word for it. *But your always there, you know.* (and at this point he turns to look at cass. Cass glances over a bit uncomfortsbly)... Your the best friend we've ever had. You're our brother cass, I want you to know that. (Eye contact now)

Cass looks deeply touched but at the same time, maybe uncertain. Dean has been extremely intimate, but at the same time, kept some space between them. Reaffirmed him as *a brother* (now we're assuming remeber that they've just had sex, and it's not an incestuous thing. It's "you're family" but not that full acknowledgment of being the beloved.

It's a really poignant moment, and Cass looks at him a few times. And ten of course the phone rings and Sam has some news...

Moment over.

And... its season 11. We know that misha has been playing cass as *in love* with Dean for at least 2 years (cuz he said that), but likely longer. Very likely he is in love with dean (whether or not they are having sex)... the world is ending and dean has handed him this double bladed knife. The greatest compliment... but also some distancing at the same time... the push the pull...

*oh my angsty heart*
