film nerd!dean who loves to share his interests.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ dean watches Jeopardy! every night and had always wanted to ask if you could watch it with him. when you finally accepted to give it a try, it felt like a small victory. after a few weeks, your movie sessions became a routine, some sort of ritual neither of you is allowed to skip.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ every time he quotes a movie you've both seen, he looks at you with a silly smile on his face, waiting to see if you caught the reference. when you don't pay attention to it, or just can't remember which movie it's from, he makes you watch it again. when you reach the timestamp of the quoted scene he'll get kind of too excited and start talking so loud you can't even hear what's happening. "see! that's what i was talking about!"
⊹ ࣪ ˖ when you first watched godzilla vs. mothra, he kept repeating how much it's better than the original, maybe too much for your own sake. "told ya, this is the best godzilla movie ever. i can't believe sammy prefers the remake over this masterpiece."
⊹ ࣪ ˖ dean's favorite movie is Untouchables, he's seen it so many times and it always feels like the first. he made you watch it once and was almost offended by your reluctant frown. unfortunately for you, he couldn't take no for an answer, not when it comes to his favorite movie. so, he made you watch it again before giving a complete analysis on why it's the best movie ever. the undying excitement in his voice as he talked about it for an hour and a half conviced you to love it, just for him.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ dean absolutely loves horror movies, especially the very unsettling ones that are either too gory to have an interesting plot, or those that are so weird and poorly made it makes them terrifying. he secretly uses them as an excuse to have you sit closer to him, hoping you'll be scared enough to hold onto his shirt.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ if you're watching a movie that both sam and dean like, he'll always mention it. "oh sammy loves this one, we used to watch it a lot when we were kids. should i tell him to come watch it with us?" in this case, there's a ninety-nine percent chance you're going to end up sitting in the middle of your small couch, squished between the two brothers as they argue over who's favorite character is better than the other's.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ dean enjoys binge-watching entire series, even though his busy life doesn’t allow him to do it often. he first introduced you to the star-wars franchise when revenge of the siths came out. dean made you watch the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy in one sitting, starting from sunrise until sunset.
having you around for a whole day, and knowing you enjoy sharing those moments with him, just watching movies together, was everything he needed in that specific moment.
of course, he was more than thrilled when you suggested the idea of dressing as his favorite characters for your friend's upcoming themed party.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ dean's always loved all genres of movies, and could basically watch anything if it looks intertaining enough. but as you grew closer, he, to his surprise, felt more interested in your favorite movies and genres. he’d often ask you why you love them so much when you make him watch something new.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ romance movies quickly became his go-to for when he needs to cheer you up. being able to witness you wearing the cutest smile ever on your face when the main characters fell in love always brought the happiest grin to his lips.
but let’s be real, most of the times it actually turns into dean trying to take advantage of the movie's romantic build-up, or even intimate scenes to steal a soft peck from you. sometimes he’d forget entirely about the film as he can't get you, and the way you lay so comfortably in his arms, out of his mind.
this is so nothingburger but i needed to get it out of my drafts.
