seems to be against him, because even though he’s plenty tall, he’s not quite tall enough to reach the highest shelf and all of the books he needs seem to be up there, plus none of the ladders are ever nearby or free. So he has to ask Sam a lot, because Sam is almost always in the shelves and nearby. Sam always smiles and grabs the book no problem, and Cas finds himself more than little attracted. He doesn’t ask Sam out or anything though, because he’s ace and he knows he’s ace but his last

partner dumped him because of it, and he’s still a little tender. Sam ends up making the first move, though, through a stumbled, blushing offer to buy coffee, and Cas stutters his way through an explanation of his sexuality, and finds out that Sam is ace too. They become a lot less stutter-y and awkward after that, and go on more coffee dates, and then to movie theaters, and eventually they end up rooming together, glad to find someone they’re happy with.

(also, I just wanted to add that I’ve absolutely loved messaging with you this week!! <3) -QSWA

some time with the puppies. Cas says yes, of course, and the next week he’s back, with the same request. Eventually, Cas offers him a spot as a volunteer because at this point he spends about the same amount of time and so he might as well be doing something useful. It’s then that they’re properly introduced. And Cas may have worked out the shifts so he’s usually there when Sam comes in. They get to know each other, and eventually become roommates when Cas’ lease is up and he can’t find anywhere to stay. Neither of them can think of anybody else they’ve ever been as comfortable with, romantic relationship or no. -QSWA

guest lecturing for each other’s classes and getting coffee in the nearby coffee shop together. Of course, they keep it professional at work, so their students don’t know they’re in a relationship. Instead, the students keep trying to set them up, in more and more elaborate ways. Sam and Cas find it hilarious, and keep a running tally of all the ways the kids have tried. Of course, it’s all ruined when a few students see Sam pecking Cas on the cheek as they get out of their car and start heading for their separate offices. Sam and Cas never hear the end of it after that. -QSWA

his struggles understanding human interaction. And Cas knows all of Sam’s; his triggers, how he’ll forget to eat and sleep when he’s working. They look out for each other, and they never seem to get tired of each other - even Sam, who’s incredibly introverted, finds that being with Cas doesn’t exhaust him the way being with everybody else does. They even have a laundry schedule. And everybody’s always teasing them about being an old married couple, or bugging them to date, (more) but the truth is, they’re happy. Dating’s too hard, and besides, they already feel like they couldn’t get any closer to anybody else. So sure, they’re not married, or dating, but they’re stable. They’re stable and they’re happy and they can’t think of anybody else to spend the rest of their lives with. -QSWA

Sam always introduces Cas as “my friend, Cas,” but it’s more than that. Sam is closer to Cas than he’s ever been with anyone else. Their relationship is more intimate than a friendship, but he doesn’t know what else to call it. And that’s okay with both of them. They know how close they are, and ultimately, that’s what matters. -QSWA

Hey, no worries, it’s totally okay; life happens :)

There, with help from Brady and Jess, he figures out that he’s ace, and bi. And so when he starts hunting with Dean again, it’s one of the first things he tells him. He gets the words out somehow, but he’s terrified that Dean will turn his back and leave him with nothing. He couldn’t have been more wrong. Dean gives Sam a hug, tells Sam he’s proud of him, and Sam finally, finally feels right. -QSWA

he thinks Cas is enjoying it and he doesn’t want to inconvenience him. But Cas realizes that Sam has a pained expression on his face and looks really uncomfortable, so he stops. He asks Sam what’s wrong, and Sam shakily explains, and Cas is like ??? Because, being an angel, he never really realized that it was okay to not like sex. So once Sam is done explaining asexuality, Cas tentatively replies that he thinks he’s asexual as well. (more) And then cuddle together under the covers until they fall asleep, Cas wrapped around Sam like an octopus, and Sam on his back breathing into Cas’ hair. -QSWA
