#dean as

- Cas finally takes it off and Dean immediately puts it on with some comment about how he didn’t know Cas was even capable of taking it off. (Same energy as a kid trying on their friends glasses)

- Caught in the rain on a case and Cas doesn’t want Dean to get sick.

(“Oh, so it’s not okay if I get sick but it’s okay if you do?” Dean grumbles. “No dice, buddy. I’m not making you chicken soup when you get sick from this.”

“I’m an angel, Dean. I can’t get sick.” Cas replies with a roll of his eyes as he shoves the coat against Dean’s chest. “And since you wouldn’t let me make you chicken soup, you should probably just wear this.”)

- Dean has been driving for too long and can barely keep his eyes open, so Cas forces them to trade and when Dean falls asleep in the passenger seat, Cas briefly pulls over to drape the coat over him like a blanket

- Dean’s shirt gets ripped to shreds on some hunt so Cas simply offers him the coat to cover him up.

- Some creature they’re hunting has gotten a whiff of Dean’s scent and is tracking him so he has to wear the coat to cover his own scent and give them a chance of escaping or at least enough time to form a plan

Cas learns about the tongue kissing. It makes people happy when they what it. And sometimes people don’t know they want it.

But he knows when someone wants it because he can hear thoughts of one specific man. And he’s always tuned in to listen.

The first time Cas leans across a motel table to seal his lips to Dean’s with a warm glide of tongue, he hears as Dean’s inner voice goes from ‘his lips look soft, I wonder how angels taste’ to utter and complete static silence.

Castiel pulled away and went back to reading through whatever book Dean had assigned him. Dean silence felt good on Castiel’s soul.

Dean never mentioned it.

When Cas pulled Dean into a searing tongue filled kiss, one that was reciprocated with veracity that made the air heat up, right in the middle of the bunker after everything had turned out okay, after it was all finally okay, Dean’s inner voice wasn’t silent.
