How often/When do you think Cas watched Dean without him (and us) knowing?

Like I just rewatched episode 4x15 "Death Takes a Holiday" and it made me think about that because when Cas tells Dean:

Just before this scene there is this dialogue:

CASTIEL: What just happened? You and Sam just saved a seal. We captured Alastair. Dean, this was a victory.

DEAN: Well, no thanks to you.

CASTIEL: What makes you say that?

DEAN: You were here the whole time?

CASTIEL: Enough of it.

This means Cas watched them doing all the work without Dean (and us and Sam) knowing, at least until he says it. And of course there is also episode 6x20 "The Man Who Would Be King" with the famous scene of Cas looking at Dean in Bobby's kitchen saying that the worst part was...

Also, every time he watched him sleep (4x03 "In The Beginning" Cas sitting on the edge of the bed / 8x10 "Torn and Frayed" Dean startling on the couch because he sensed a presence and spilling his beer / 8x08 "Hunteri Heroici" Cas suggesting the idea of watching over them while they sleep).

But those scene are the only time Cas watched Dean without him knowing THAT WE KNOW OF. What about those we don't? Do you have some ideas of when this could have happened again? A scene in particular? Let me know because I want my mind to be blown.

Wait, is there a fic about that? I'm sure there is. Like Cas watching over Dean across seasons (at least until he can't fly anymore. But, wait, can he hide from people without his wings? That's a real question. Like can he spy on people without being seen once his wings are broken?) It could be a fic with Cas's POV and dialogues when Dean surprises him. Wait, I need to stop. I'm just writing my thoughts as they come to me but this post wasn't supposed to be this long. Sorry...

4x15, Death Takes a Holiday

Critical theory: Instincts and miracles. Trauma. That bitch. 

Key quotes: Dean, “The pain of losing my father and Sammy. I just… I wish I had gone with you for good.”; Dean, “We’re all scared. That’s the big secret. We’re all scared.”; Tessa, “Trust your instincts, Dean. There’s no such thing as miracles.” 

Discussion: 

Loved the symmetry of Pamela whispering to Sam. 

Love just how bad Sam is with kids (/just with people) compared to Dean. He wil say whatever he has to to achieve his goal. And like, Cole did have to go… but Dean handled it so much more delicately.

Dean’s conversation with Tessa. Like, jesus, Dean has so little hope to begin with, and Tessa just rips that away. But we knew this… The angels are just using Dean for their own agenda, they will say/do whatever they have to. Iga, “The angels and Sam have a lot in common. So it’s interesting that they hate each other.” 

Dean seems to have a romantic connection with death. “I wish I’d gone with you” is such a romantic way to say “I wish I was dead.” Iga, “It feels so much more classy for him to have this romantic connection with death.” We all know that he hates himself, hates his life, wants to die… But from the perspective of death is a beautiful woman, he’s the one that got away, death wants him back… it makes it more soothing, less gritty. He’s in a romantic relationship with the reaper. [I like the description of soothing, that’s really nice.] Tessa is soothing, she’s good at her job—easing the spirits into the next life. It’s a hug. Iga, “It’s flirting with death, but in a very intimate and romantic way.” [YEAH.] Kai, “Dean is flirting with death, but death is flirting with Dean.” Iga, “Dean and death want to be together… death wants him.” Iga is hoping Tessa sticks around, because it might ease the pain of the finale… ie. Tessa is there, they reunite, Dean and death finally get to be together. 

Liked that they were ghosts for a bit, so now they know what it feels like to be shot with salt. It’s fun. A nice flip 

Like Cas. “Guess again.” Iga, “for some reason that made me really attracted to him.” “Insane tism rizz. All he has to do is avoid eye contact and I’m into it.” [For me, yes, it’s the tism rizz. But also… “whatever I ask you seem to do the exact opposite.” Yeah tell him off.] Kai, “ohh, is he being a bit of a brat?” 

Star student: Iga, the Dean/death romance
