Random ask, what’re your favorite sambenny headcannons? 😙❤️
well these are mine and so therefore they are my favorite!
for pretty much any of these to "work" I think benny would have to live in the bunker with sam and dean for a while
both sam and benny are very well read. benny is impressed with how well read sam is for being only 30 and sam is impressed that benny still remembers much of what he read before dying and being in purgatory for several decades. books are one the first things they realize they have in common and opens the door for a relationship of any kind. in fact, benny has sam recommend him anything good that was published in the last 50 or so years, which is really an innocent way to get closer to sam. he also likes watching sam as he bends down and reaches up to get books
benny starts feeding from sam, usually before or after sex. aside from it being extremely hot to me, it's "logical." but benny would be quite hesitant at first because he hasn't been drinking blood from the tap in a long time (even before purgatory) and he would be worried about not being able to control himself. sam is insistent, in no small part because by that point in s8 his guilt complex is back with a vengeance, mostly because of dean raking him over the coals for both quitting hunting and "not looking for him," and I think it's a not a leap that sam would wrap up his earlier treatment of benny in that too
part two of above but the trials would complicate things considerably. for one, sam would be a lot physically weaker. and relating to sam's belief that the trials are "purifying" him, maybe he starts to believe his blood is no good until the trials are done and he's "clean." but benny would point out the obvious that he had been feeding from sam before with no issues, and that from a vampiric standpoint there's absolutely nothing "wrong" with his blood. but whether they stop the erotic blood drinking out of concern for sam's health or not, what the two of them do not do is tell dean about any of it
speaking of the trials, benny sees dean serve sam one jerky/three peanut butter cups/half-drunk beer meal and decides then and there he's personally overseeing sam's nutrition. it's mainly just broth/soup and tea and maybe some homemade bread because sam can't keep a lot down, but benny is very accommodating and, unlike dean, knows when he should be a little pushy about sam eating and when he should back off
sometimes they fall asleep with benny lying on sam's bare chest. benny likes the firm yet supple muscle and the fact that he can feel a heartbeat (something he doesn't have) and the soothing way sam pets his face and hair
speaking of hair, benny is very fond of sam's hair. he likes running his fingers through it and smelling it, especially when it's still a little damp and the scent of sam's conditioner is strong
they switch. benny gives me a gentle dom vibe in both scenarios
benny enjoys teasing sam and getting him to blush and stammer and clear his throat in that cute way he does. benny is also heavy on the pet names, my favorite being "doll." dean thinks benny is being mostly sarcastic at first, until he notices sam's reaction. then he starts suspecting and watching the two of them more closely
similarly, benny starts to think differently of dean once he has more time to observe the way he treats sam. unfortunately, and this part is very sexy to me, dean would ruin these two eventually. it would be a betrayal to him (benny "letting him down" in a way he was certain benny never could!) and we know he views sam as an extension of himself. I mean he managed to wear sam down in the first half of season 8, when sam was exhibiting too much independence and calling dean out for his bullshit in a way he hasn't done in years, until he gave up his relationship with amelia and recommitted to hunting. dean could definitely do it with the sam in the latter half of s8
thank you for this ask, my esteemed colleague in sambenny!!
