Destiel Chronicles

Vol. XLII

It was a love story from the very beginning.

Just You and Me

(9x06)

Hello My Friends!!! How are you? I'm here again with another meta from this series. This time is time for a very Destiel one, episode 9x06 Heaven can't wait.

I know is a very analyzed episode, well known by all the FANDOM, so I will be quick with some scenes, just mentioning things that we all know, and pointing mostly how the characters felt during the different scenes.

I want to say thank you to my friend @agusvedder , she made the gifs for this meta and discussed with me the episode. Thank you girl! 😘💕

Pain-Lost-Depression

I'm gonna start talking about the Rit Zien (in enochian means HANDS OF MERCY), this different class of angels assisted in the battlefield helping angels wounded to heal, and giving peace (by ending with them) to those who were past saving, wounded with emotional damage.

Let's swim now through his victims in this episode and why he chose Castiel like one of them.

The first victim was a man who had lost his wife, so, he was depressed, he couldn't handle his lost, the love of his life. He had a huge pain he even called to suicide line. The Rit Zien appeared a vanished him, into micro molecules, and the color was PINK.

You know pink represents Happiness, so, we could infer this angel tried to give the pain a relief. To transform it into happiness in Heaven.

The second victim was a girl, who had just break up to his boyfriend, and she was saying this exactly words .. pay attention...

GIRL He dumped me, Jace. (pause) In the cafeteria. In front of everyone. It's just like ... who does that, you know? Like, why couldn't he just dump me on Facebook like a normal person? (pause) I've been destroyed. Socially and romantically … totaled. (pause) I know. I'm just so embarrassed, Jace. I could just die.

She's recalling us to Castiel, and how Dean dumped him from the bunker. And she's describing her feelings, so we can think Cas is feeling dumped, destroyed and embarrassed.

So... Then... Cas must be very upset with Dean. As we will see in the next point, he is.

But now, when the Rit Zien heard her asking for death, he just gave her death, and happiness in Heaven, as we could see when he transformed that girl in pink color.

So, two cases about two people in love, one had lost his wife, and was deeply depressed, and the second one was dumped by her boyfriend, feeling embarrassed.

And if you pay attention too to Castiel's singing to the baby, the lyrics are very melancholic... Flying away in a wing and a prayer... He misses being an angel, he said it again while he was trying to calm the baby, touching his forehead...

After talking with the baby about how it felt being a human all of the sudden, he says...

CASTIEL: (...) You know, it wasn't that long ago when all I'd need to do to ease your pain was touch you.

So... This is melancholy, sadness...

But let's come back to the logic of the victims... As I said first one... Two cases related with lover lost, a girl dumped by his boyfriend...

Then... Castiel being the third victim, shouldn't surprise us at all...

CASTIEL: It's a fever, Ephraim. It will pass.

(Cas thought the angel had came for the baby)

ANGEL (EPHRAIM): You remember my name? I was just a nobody when we met, but you – you were a legend. You've been here before. This is my first time, and it's ... intense.

The Rit Zien remarked Cas was a legend, so he felt honored he could remember his name, but also, and this is very interesting, he's talking about being surrounded by humans, and Hyman's feelings SO INTENSE. I'm pointing this, because there's a scene in the car with Dean in which Case says everything is different, about feelings, about being a human. I just want you to keep this in mind for the next points.

CASTIEL: How'd you find me?

EPHRAIM: Because you're warded? The same way I find all my patients – I just followed the sound of your pain. You have no idea how loud it is. I could hear you for miles

This has to caught our attention. Castiel is in pain, huge pain. He's depressed. He lost his grace, he had to for through being homeless, starved, facing our most deep decadency. And then he had to suffered Dean's rejection. Castiel, who had learn now what his feelings were. As a human, he's sure now that strong feeling he had for Dean is LOVE, and being dumped by him, leaving him in the streets again, is a deep pain, a deep wound, just as painful like losing his grace. So, his pain was loud.

Cas is mad at Dean, and Dean wants see him desperately

Okay, now that we talked about the case, let's focus in Destiel.

Castiel called Dean for the case... And Dean noticed Cas was kind of... Weird, and maybe mad, this made him anxious, and he decided to go to that case ALONE, and find Cas, just in case...

But really, the conversation they had by the phone is hilarious. First of all, Dean stood up and walked away from Kevin and Sam, when he realized it was Cas. Looking for privacy??

DEAN: Hello?

CASTIEL (calling from the Gas'n'Sip) I may have a case for you. (CASTIEL is cleaning the slurpee machine while he talks.) Four missing in Rexford, Idaho. (DEAN stands up, walking away from the table.) Presumed dead, but no bodies have been released to loved ones. And, there were reports of a strange substance at the scenes.

Okay, we'll just stop here, notice how Dean says HELLO but Castiel doesn't, he just goes straight to the point of his call, this is the first sign that he's mad, he wouldn't call, but he has this case, so he had to. Not a nice thing to do for him, because he would prefer no to pass for this. Not to talk with the one that dumped him.

DEAN: Oh, well, hello to you too, Cas. How are you?

Dean noticed that too, and he insists with the HELLO, and he asks how Cas is doing. He knows Cas must be mad at him.

CASTIEL: I ... am busy.

Cas cut him. He was actually, nervously trying to... Do something with the smoothie machine.

DEAN shakes his head.

DEAN All right. So, how do you want to do this?You want to meet up at the latest scene? You want me to pick you up? What?

Dean is proposing see each other, he wants to work with him, Dean wants to see him.

CASTIEL's efforts with the Slushy machine are not going well. A flood of liquid blue slushy mix spills out over the machine and onto the floor. DEAN hears the trickling sound and looks puzzled.

CASTIEL Um … I've got my hands full over here. I just – um...

And this is when Cas gets flustered and the machine is a mess of blue liquid all over the floor. Is not coincidence that when Dean offered Cas an encounter, the mess with the blue fuold happened. Is a consequence of Castiel feeling nervous, an encounter with Dean is something that gets him flustered. Nervous. Anxious. Now that Castiel is a human, he understands clearly what happens in his heart with Dean. He knows that feeling is LOVE. So, isn't that easy, being dumped, get mad, and now calling him, and now seeing him again? Too intense.

DEAN Cas? Hello?

Dean is convinced now that Cas is mad at him, so he decided to go ALONE to see him.

He invented some excuses because Sam wanted to go with him, he tries to minimize the importance of the case, but that made it more suspicious, so Sam asks...

SAM: So, he said nothing about where he is or – or what he's been doing?

DEAN: This is Cas. In case you forgot, he's not exactly Chatty Cathy.

SAM (incredulously) And you're not even gonna see him when you're in Idaho?

DEAN: Well, like I said, as long as he's catnip for angels, he's keeping his distance.

DEAN turns to continue walking, now leaving the room.

SAM: So then, what's the point, Dean? I mean, it's barely even a case.

Sam couldn't understand why his brother was almost running to that "not case" so fast, answering all his questions with not very truly answers.

DEAN (from a balcony, talking down to the other two) That's why I'm just gonna go have a little look-see, and … we're not gonna waste a whole lot of manpower on a big pile of nada.

And then Kevin gave him the perfect excuse...

Dean must be thinking... Thanks Kevin, over there... Finally alone, just Cas and him.

Jilted Lover and pining boy

We know Misha Collins said producers asked him to play this scene like a jilted Lover, and he did it perfect.

We had this classic Destiel scene... Dean talking with Sam by the phone, outside the Impala, drinking a coffee, we don't see more... Till this happens...

Dean lowered his head, because he had it covered, he doesn't need his brother help, because he has Cas. And he wants to be alone with him, this gesture, he gets a little nervous over there, like... Anxious... Why? Because he's doing this... This is his cover...

This is pining, my friends, no friend stays out of the window CONTEMPLATING his handsome best friend working, like... If this isn't pining what is is then? Why he would stop by Castiel's work, watching him for so long?? He wasn't afraid, because when he finally made his dramatic entrance, he wasn't ashamed, so, he just does it because he wanted to contemplate him. Because he is pining for him. Because he contemplates the man he loves. People that are in love do that. Period.

When Dean appears in front of Cas, Castiel's fav is priceless. He's surprised, but it seems like of his heart just gave a jump! Like OMG! HE'S HERE! WHY?

Look at the deception in Dean's face, again Cas is not saying him hello. And he was waiting for a better response. But, okay, Cas is mad, some maybe not a good response, but at least a HI.

After this, Castiel gets mad again because Dean is disappointed to find him working there and not hunting. Cas names the whole situations he had to go through, because he can't believe Dean shows up as if dumping him from the bunker was nothing...

CASTIEL: My Grace is gone. What did you expect? Do you have any idea how hard it was? When I fell to earth, I didn't just lose my powers. I – I had nothing. Now... I'm a sales associate (proudly)

Castiel is proud, he's showing Dean LOOK HOW I GOT THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP. I DID IT BY MYSELF.

But Dean doesn't want this for Cas and mostly, he needs him back with him, even if it has to be just for one case. So he will try to convince him, just like the old times.

Then... Nora enters in the scene. At first Dean made his wtf and jealous face when he sees the heart eyes. And then he plays the NO HOMO BUDDY right there.

Trying to get some info, and the result is Cas has a date!

Flirting

After recognize the case was about a Rit Zien, Dean wants him to be aboard with him to stop the angel... But Castiel says this...

CASTIEL: But he just got here. The ebb and flow of human emotion – Dean, I've been on earth for a few years, and I've only begun to grasp it. To him, pain is pain.

And then this...

That's why I said before keep in mind the INTENSE word about Human's feelings. Cas is getting now what is this all about. He's getting know the intensity of the feelings... Love, hate, pain, depression, sadness, joy. He is experiencing all of them. That's why I truly believe he understood what he felt for Dean.

I readed once @amwritingmeta post about this scene here, and the second meaning of I NEED A RIDE and the face Dean made... And I laughed so hard, because she showed in that post the wishfully and lustful face Dean showed. Priceless. Pay attention... When Cas says I NEED A RIDE, Dean's imagination was... To... Where? Cas having a good ride? By whom? Him? Okay. Too hilarious, but Jensen did it. Jensen made that face in Dean's skin... Dirty pining boy for his ex hot angel.

Then he turned to Cas to see if he realized what he had just Sayed, and of course he doesn't!

So... Second meaning for flirting... Is not gonna work Dean...

Tony Manero

When Cas and Dean were in the car, and Castiel was about to get out on his date, Dean says this words that generally are used when someone who's in love with the person is about to having a date with a third one, says to stop him. And our hearts stopped right there... But Dean Winchester made it NO HOMO again, talking about the wardrobe.

Even Cas has a hint of hopes in his eyes, why Dean would choose those words right there? Because he was feeling like that, he was still flirting with him, he was jealous, and he didn't want to let the angel go. But his repressed feelings won't let him verbalize it. So... He plays it...

DEAN: Okay. Uh, lose the vest.

CASTIEL: What are you –

Even Cas doesn't get what Dean wants, not even Dean knows it either...

Okay this was very gay, very. And Dean drooling face calling his friend TONY MANERO like the pining boy he is for his gorgeous and hot ex angel friend.

Comparing Castiel with Tony Manero, Made us go to that movie immediately, and to one scene in the car between John Travolta (Tony Manero) and his friend, Stephanie. (Thanks to Agus for show me the scene and discuss with me this). And I know this had been talked largely in the fandom, the frames and the position of the actors were the same like Dean with Cas, but is very interesting the dialogue. Tony was helping Stephanie to move on into a new house with a married man who was using her. When Tony detects this, they both had a conversation in the car and Tony made a jealous scene. Asking for that man, saying her he was using her, and she breaks talking about how that man helped her, that she was alone. You don't know what I had to go through. Is a huge Cas parallel, when Dean starts to recriminate him about his job in the Gas'n sip. And a Jealous Tony is compared with jealous!Dean about Nora. And don't forget, Nora was using Castiel like baby-sitter.

So because Dean was jealous... He was acting like the best friend giving his buddy advices about the date. But he was being ambiguous, like half flirting and acting gay and half giving advices and no homo. The truth was, he was drooling for Cas, pining for him... Even my mom saw that!

But let's return again to Cas in his "date"...

We saw how Dean contemplates Castiel again while he was walking towards that door, collecting a rose, smiling like a dummie because Cas looks so cute doing that. And the writers showed us Cas sucking his finger because one spine hurted him? Like? Why show something so sexy while Dean is watching? Do I need to add more here?

This was a huge romantic Destiel scene, with reference to a romantic movie, and we were witness of that!

Good Bye

Another Destiel scene, and this will be the last, sorry for the extension of this meta, is the goodbye scene. We had Dean with a half I'm sorry (because he couldn't say the truth, and Cas being so sad.

Pay attention when Cas is leaving, Dean's painful expression, the guilt and the repressed feelings... He really wants to tell Cas everything and bring him home with him, desperately... But he can't, and is so painful to him. Castiel is sad too, their faces are... Just sadness and pain. They don't like to be apart from each other... Damn...

To Conclude:

Episode 9x06 was a very Destiel chapter. We had the reference to Castiel's depression for lost his grace and being dumped by Dean.

We had a desperate Dean to fix things with his angel, running at his first call, insisting for his help, desperate for having a hint just the two of them. Being jealous, flirty, and very in love with his ex angel buddy.

The car scene with the reference to Tony Manero (a bi vives character in one of the most famous romantic movies), and the two CONTEMPLATING THE LOVE OF MY LIFE scenes, marked this episode like one of the most romantic episode in the whole show.

I hope you like this meta, see you in the next!

líra vol. XLII

Kinézetem elefántcsonttornyom lőrésén, de csak elsuhanó határidőket és felhőket láttam. Megdöbbenésemre aznap nyugaton kelt a nap, de aztán rájöttem, hogy csak a szemközti ablakok tükröződése miatt van így. Kár, gondoltam. Aztán a jövőt és a látóhatárt kémleltem, de szokás szerint csak sűrű, szürkésfehér ködöt láttam.

Elmerengtem azon amit a guru mondott valamelyik este a fehér és fekete farkasról. Akkor nem figyeltem, mert még volt elég vörösborom, és ennek következtében gondolatom meg nem.

Valami ilyesmit mondhatott: minden ember lelkében lakik két farkas. Egy fehér, és egy fekete. A fekete a düh, az önsajnálat, a bűntudat, és a hamis büszkeség. A fehér az öröm, a béke, az igazság, a nyugalom. Ezek a fakasok harcolnak a lelkedért, és az kerekedik felül amelyiket eteted.

Ekkora faszságot életemben nem hallottam,  - csak a volt feleségeimtől, mikor búcsúzóul, az ajtóból visszafordulva még egyszer kiosztottak - , gondoltam akkor.

A te fekete farkasod annyira kövér baszdmeg, mondta a guru, hogy járni sem bír, fejezte be a mondanivalót, és elkezdett nyúlkálni a vörösborom felé.

Távolabb tettem tőle a palackot, és megkérdeztem.

Te guru, győzhet valamelyik farkas, úgy értem véglegesen?

Nem.- válaszolta.

— Lin Yutang I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its leaves are a little yellow, its tone mellower, its colours richer, and it is tinged a little with sorrow and a premonition of death. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor of the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and is content. From a knowledge of those limitations and its richness of experience emerges a symphony of colours, richer than all, its green speaking of life and strength, its orange speaking of golden content and its purple of resignation and death. — Lin Yutang ‘The Fruits of the Earth’ (1911) watercolor by Edward J.

Destiel Chronicles

Vol. L

It was a love story, from the very beginning.

Love Story (Part II)

(9x22b/9x23)

Hi my friends! How are you? We arrived to the last meta from season 9! I can't believe we are here! Okay okay... Getting emotional...

I want to say thank you to my dearest friend, @agusvedder , she made the gifs for this analysis!! 💕💕

Cas Will always choose Dean

When Metatron's trap for Castiel was settled, he confronted him in front of his soldiers.

HANNAH: Why would we follow you?

METATRON: Well, look around. You've seen earth. You've had a taste of free will. I got to ask you -- do you like it? I mean, the way you've flocked off to follow Castiel tells me you need to follow someone. It's in your DNA.

Metatron needs to discredit Castiel in front of his followers, he needs to cover with mud all the brightness Castiel was offering: Earth/Free Will/Their innate mission to protect Humans. That's why he wants to tear down the Castle in the air, presenting them the inevitability of their lore. They're condemned to follow. And this recalls me what Michael had said in season 5 FREE WILL IS AN ILLUSION. The huge lie to keep the angel quiet and obedient.

METATRON: (...) But Cas -- he's not what you think he is. He sends angels out to die. Have you told them about your stolen Grace, Castiel? How it's fading away, and when it burns out, so will you?

Several things in this part of the speech, first of all, here is the discredit of the Great Castiel, he is showing them one only truth, the stolen grace, because is the only thing Cas can't deny, because is real. He stole grace, and is burning. But that's not the focus, the focus are the bomber angels. Is very smart from Metatron to use one only truth to plant a huge lie. And he is successful with that.

METATRON: (...) So...No, then. I'm not the best, but I'm the best you've got. You want to stay with Castiel, fine, but he's playing you, because at the end of the day, the only thing he cares about is himself and the Hardy boys there. You've got a choice to make. Make the right one

Playing the role of victim, saying "I'm not the best", to drag the angel by his side, and then, saying Sam and Dean is the only two persons he cares about (knowing the angel's were experiencing how Cas was always by the Winchesters side), was the last stab. Cas is in troubles now.

Hannah took the leadership, and defied Castiel, making him choose between them and the Winchesters. But not Sam and Dean... They threatened jus DEAN, why? Because the angels knew Dean was Castiel's weakness.

HANNAH: You gave us order, Castiel, and we gave you our trust. Don't lose it over one man. [She hands a blade to CASTIEL] This is justice.

Hannah is determinant here, she is testing Cas' loyalty... And she lost, because Castiel will always choose Dean...

Revealing Castiel's weakness

While settling down the trap, Metatron discovered Castiel true weakness...

You would say HE IS IN LOVE WITH HUMANITY, is a call to each human, because Castiel loves humans, he always had said he loves his father's creations.

But Metatron will certified in the last episode what he was talking about with HUMANITY. We will see in my next point.

When they come back to the bunker, Cas is desolated because he thinks he had lost every opportunity to defeat Metatron.

But someone is happy there: Dean.

Dean was kind of jealous of Castiel being a Commander again, leading angels. He had always hated when Cas shows any hint of interest in coming back to Heaven with his brothers. So... He leading an entire army of angel? It wasn't a good sign to keep Cas safe and with him.

There was a hint of melancholy in this scene, like... Destiel in the old times... But the weight of Dean's words here... He acknowledged Cas had chosen him, because Castiel loves him. And because his loyalty to him is intact. And Cas asks again his fears... Does Dean still believe he was capable to use angels as bombs? Because that was the fear he had in his now very human heart. But with this proof of love, Dean has not doubts. Cas is back, and with him, just for him.

That's why he settles again TFW speech...

He did it in the same episode in which Michael said that nefarious quote about TFW, remember? With the ONE COMATOSE CASTIEL on the bed.

I see a huge connection between that episode in season 5, this season 9 entirely, and season 15 about TFW and God/Metatron trying to control the will.

But concluding Dean is Cas' weakness ( as we will see textually in episode 12x10 too).

Cas did everything because of Dean

In episode 9x23 we had the confirmation of what Metatron wanted to say when he concluded that Cas was in love with humanity.

NEIL: Is that the new Angel handbook you're working on, or, uh...?

METATRON: No, no, this is a story, Neil, a marvelous story, full of love and heartbreak and...love.

NEIL: Sort of like "The Notebook."

Okay, Metatron is writing a love and love story here ... He mentions a heartbroken... Basically, he is inspired by Castiel's feelings for Dean, because that's the big secret he had just discovered. So is a story of love... (Family love, humanity love) and love with a heartbroken and that's Destiel. Because of what Metatron is about to do: KILL DEAN WINCHESTER. That way, by killing Castiel's weakness, he will defeat him completely.

And is hilarious angel Neil talking about a very romantic movie The Netbook, talks about a true love between a girl and a young man from different social class. Practically, a Destiel mirror.

Jumping to the confrontation between Metatron and Castiel at the end of the episode... He face our angel with the Truth he had just revealed...

That's it there's HUMANITY for Metatron. That's the humanity he was talking when he mentioned Castiel's weakness... He is in love with Humanity -> you did everything to save just one human : DEAN.

The equation is complete.

And now that he talked about LOVE, Is time to talk about HEARTBROKEN...

He breaks Castiel's heart by revealing he is dead. The Love Story had come to it's end.

To Conclude:

Castiel's weakness is revealed in these two episodes. Cas will always choose Dean (and Sam) over any circumstances.

Destiel Chronicles

Vol. XLIV

It was a love story from the very beginning.

Comfort Me

(9x10)

Hello my friends!!!! How are you? Happy New Year!

This is another meta from this series. This time I will dedicate the entire meta to episode 9x10 Road Trip, it was a very Destiel one, and we could see how Castiel was comforting Dean the whole time, it was so sweet and romantic.

I want to say thank you to my friend @agusvedder , she made the first for this meta and discussed with me the episode! Thank you girl!

Now, let's start...

You Are my Oasis

Okay, this sounds very romantic, because it is...

When Castiel went to see Dean, because he called him (!!!) at the beginning of episode 9x10 Road Trip, we knew he had to burn Kevin's body, he was tremendously sad, but when he saw Cas... He smiled and... He complimented him, he checked him out, he was really enjoying the sight of Castiel. Cas is Dean's Oasis in this episode, is Dean's comfort. He called him because he needed his help, and because he needed his friend. He needed someone to be there for him. So this episode showed us how Dean relayed on Cas, but not like friends... If you rewatch it, is like seeing one man comforting his boyfriend. Is the sensation that it left me while I was paying attention to the Destiel scenes.

So Dean talks with Cas ... Remember when they talked with honesty? 😭💔

Well, Dean is feeling too much guilt, and Cas is trying to shove that out from him. He is comforting Dean the whole time! He is saying the exact words Dean needs to hear.

And then...

Cas can't let Dean call himself stupid, he stands up to point his position, to remark to Dean his words. To have Dean security with it. And because he understands him... Cas felt he was a dumb too, when he thought he will save Heaven by trusting in Metatron, and that costed him his grace.

And because Cas is beautiful, inside and outside, is delightful for Dean, is his Oasis, is his comfort...

Talking with the eyes

Really, this episode is breathtaking. First we had Dean smiling, checking out his gorgeous angel even when he was so destroyed. And now...

While they were interrogating Crowley, they were looking at each other almost constantly, and is perfect, because, their crossed gazes, being so so close to each other, when Crowley was talking about Dean... About what torments Dean...

CASTIEL: Kevin is dead.

First topic that is carving in Dean's soul, the guilt of Kevin's dead is on the table now, and Crowley made a fest with it

CROWLEY: Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.

CASTIEL [harshly] Don't pretend you care. You tried to kill him.

CROWLEY: I told him this was gonna happen. I was the only person who tried to warn him. I told him to run.

Crowley is trying to drag the conversation to the fact that Dean is dangerous. Everyone who gets bear him, dies.

DEAN: From what?

CROWLEY: You. How many times am I gonna have to say this? People in your general vicinity don't have much in the way of a life-span.

When Crowley exposed Dean's fears and guilt, Castiel reached for his eyes, to comfort him, he is saying DON'T LISTEN TO HIM. LOOK AT ME, YOU ARE NOT THAT. YOU ARE NOT DANGEROUS. I KNOW.

This glare is so beautiful, is so comforting, Crowley is trying to hurt Dean and Cas is protecting him for that harm, with just one look, because they talk like this. With the eyes. And this is very very romantic.

CROWLEY: Now, I can't teach you how to crack open an angel. It's more... art than science. But I can do it for you. All I ask in return is a little field trip. Dying for some fresh air. Chains on, naturally.

DEAN: No.

CROWLEY: No? Of course not. Because if I'm plan "A," I'm sure you have a totally viable, much better plan "B."

CASTIEL [and DEAN pull aside] You can't be considering this.

DEAN: With the chains on, he can't do anything.

CASTIEL: It's Crowley. He can always do something.

CROWLEY: Looks like we need a tiebreaker. Go get Moose, squirrel. [DEAN's mask slips and you can see his guilt]

Unless... Unless, of course, you can't. That's why you're here, isn't it? The poor giant baby's in trouble again, isn't he?

Another Guilt exposition from Crowley: Sam, possessed by Gadreel, now are gone and that's a huge problem now. So...

Second exposition of guilt, and Cas is searching for his eyes again. Another comforting glare to Dean. WE WILL FIND HIM, WE HAVE A PLAN. EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE OKAY. SAM IS GONNA BE OKAY.

If this isn't romantic, I don't know what it is. Complicity and comfort on those gazes, so much love and understanding. Cas is there to be Dean's Oasis.

Comfort Me

It was very comic watching Cas and Crowley fighting like children, it was really a sit com right in front of our eyes.

And don't forget the fact that Cecily, the demon , mentioned angel Castiel was hot, and she called him too Capitan Sexy, like... Castiel's sex appeal is well known between angels and demons.

But let's focus now in that important scene when Crowley tried to get Gadreel's name in Sam's body.

Watching Sam's vessel suffering was too much for Dean, and he had to leave for a moment. If you recall that time when they had to lock Sam because he was having this demon drinking issue again, and Dean left, and Castiel saw him but he didn't follow him? Well, this time is totally different, because, Cas was the whole episode paying special attention to Dean, and when he saw he left, he followed him...

CASTIEL: Hey.

DEAN: I can't watch that anymore.

CASTIEL: I understand. It's not Sam, but... It's still Sam.

Castiel is comforting him again.

DEAN [voice cracking with emotion] Pretty much, yeah. How are you doing?

CASTIEL [kind of surprised] You want to talk about me now?

DEAN: I want to talk about anything that's not a demon sticking needles into my brother's brain.

[DEAN looks out a window trying to control his emotions but we see tears pooling in his eyes]

Yeah, humor me, man. How you doing?

CASTIEL: Uh... I'm okay.

Dean asks Castiel to distract him, maybe is something Cas didn't know how to send or how to response, so Dean shows him how.

DEAN: Good. Good. That's, uh... So, what, you just change the batteries out, power back up? It's that easy?

CASTIEL: It wasn't easy, but I didn't have a choice.

DEAN: Yeah. Well, that's usually how it goes.

Dean takes Castiel's quote to elaborate his apologies, because that time when he kicked Cas out from the bunker, it wasn't easy, but he thought he didn't have a choice. That's why he says THAT'S USUALLY HOW IT GOES.

DEAN: Cas... I'm sorry.

CASTIEL: About what?

DEAN: Kickin' you out of the bunker. That's, uh... You know, not telling you about Sam.

Remember when Dean could say I'm sorry to Cas?? Damn... But really... He couldn't even give a description to what was kicking Cas out from the bunker... Because it was horrible, and friends don't do that.

CASTIEL: You thought his life was at stake.

Castiel keeps comforting him, he doesn't want Dean feels more guilt.

DEAN: Yeah, I got played.

CASTIEL: I thought I was saving Heaven. I got played, too.

Cas is saying here SEE? I MADE MISTAKES TOO. DON'T BE SO HARD WITH YOURSELF.

This is perfect, how Cas steals another smile from Dean, how Cas comforts him again, all the time, trying to make Dean's weight less painfully to carry.

When they had to decide to enter inside Sam, Dean trusted in Castiel, but that wasn't possible and they had to let Crowley to go inside.

After this, and by the end of the episode, when Sam and Dean fought and they got separated, Cas watches Dean one more time, again comforting him...

To conclude:

Cas behaves in this episode like Dean's support, not just as a friend, because he does it with a dedication and a sweetness of a couple. Dean looks for that in him, and he finds it. The dedication and the support that Castiel gives him goes beyond a simple friendship, because there is intimacy and confidence in their eyes. Love and devotion.

I hope you enjoy this Chronicles, see you in the next ones!
