Hi Shal!
As a Deangirl, I know what makes Dean all flustered when it comes to Cas. He's embarrassingly easy to read like that lol (He likes it when Cas is strong and praises him and supports him and slams him into walls etc etc). But I can't get an exact read on Cas. I was wondering what you think would be Cas' turn ons or flustered moments? Like, what would he find really lovely about Dean? (Gestures of thanks and care, etc.) What would cause blue screen Cas moments? (Or you can talk about Dean's flustered moments as well. Whatever interests you).
I love your breakdowns of their weird little spousal interactions so any of your ideas are potential fodder for future fics and art in my book.
I have looked at this and looked at this, Jas, but I just don't think I'm Cas-coded enough for this.
I think this is a good one for poll the audience. Except I'm not feeling a poll either. POKE THE AUDIENCE.
We saw Cas get flustered in the Brothel (my pet theory is that was about fear of fathering Nephilim).
I like to think he's the mostest mostest in-love with Home.
His whole thing about liking Pottery Barn home magazine and gazing at Saturday Morning Post magazines is maybe something he likes because they're depictions of idyllic family HOMElife and furnishings.
We've also seen that Cas's kind of a dopey/sweet gift giver.
So I think at all times he's holding himself back from robbing a bank and furnishing the bunker with every tacky and occasionally tasteful thing on Dean's wishlist and fake gift registry.
Aside/// I think Cas looks at his magazines pretty often, that THAT'S what earned his disdain for the era FROM Dean. The script dialogue "that's a time of universal racism" commentary just FEELS like it's from Dean imho. Anyway, Cas has bookmarked the soothing magazine pages that appeal to both him AND Dean because... reasons.
But ANYWAY
Cas likes the homeiness symbols. He'd probably get aroused by a WELCOME HOME mat waiting when he comes through the front bunker door one day. ((That would be a hilarious "BLUE SCREEN" moment, no???))
Other things///
He loves preparing the coffee
Loves seeing his fam go through their nighttime routines
ex. Dean never used to wear pajamas, and the day Cas sees Dean wearing them, Cas puffs up and goes to stand by the door like BUNKER SAFE BECUASE I AM AND THEY ARE COMFY ENOUGH TO BE IN NOVELTY SOCKS AND PJS I FEEL SO!!!
I think he's weird about the robe too.
ALSO
When Dean says things like, "Let's go home," that goes into Cas's metaphorical and/or literal spankbank.
