#dean has a cowboy kink

[drulalovescas]

Dean: learning about a case in Dodge City

Dean: coming up with the idea to dress himself and Cas as cowboys

Cas: realizing this silly human is gonna dress him up as a cowboy

Anyway there was that one pic I couldn't find again on tumblr, but I took a screenshot months ago because I fucking had to draw teen!Dean in this look. If you know the reference I'm talking about please send.

So I accidentally almost got into an argument on Twitter, and now I'm thinking about bad historical costuming tropes. Specifically, Action Hero Leather Pants.

See, I was light-heartedly pointing out the inaccuracies of the costumes in Black Sails, and someone came out of the woodwork to defend the show. The misunderstanding was that they thought I was dismissing the show just for its costumes, which I wasn't - I was simply pointing out that it can't entirely care about material history (meaning specifically physical objects/culture) if it treats its clothes like that.

But this person was slightly offended on behalf of their show - especially, quote, "And from a fan of OFMD, no less!" Which got me thinking - it's true! I can abide a lot more historical costuming inaccuracy from Our Flag than I can Black Sails or Vikings. And I don't think it's just because one has my blorbos in it. But really, when it comes down to it...

What is the difference between this and this?

Here's the thing. Leather pants in period dramas isn't new. You've got your Vikings, Tudors, Outlander, Pirates of the Caribbean, Once Upon a Time, Will, The Musketeers, even Shakespeare in Love - they love to shove people in leather and call it a day. But where does this come from?

Obviously we have the modern connotations. Modern leather clothes developed in a few subcultures: cowboys drew on Native American clothing. (Allegedly. This is a little beyond my purview, I haven't seen any solid evidence, and it sounds like the kind of fact that people repeat a lot but is based on an assumption. I wouldn't know, though.) Leather was used in some WWI and II uniforms.

But the big boom came in the mid-C20th in motorcycle, punk/goth, and gay subcultures, all intertwined with each other and the above. Motorcyclists wear leather as practical protective gear, and it gets picked up by rock and punk artists as a symbol of counterculture, and transferred to movie designs. It gets wrapped up in gay and kink communities, with even more countercultural and taboo meanings. By the late C20th, leather has entered mainstream fashion, but it still carries those references to goths, punks, BDSM, and motorbike gangs, to James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Mick Jagger. This is whence we get our Spikes and Dave Listers in 1980s/90s media, bad boys and working-class punks.

And some of the above "historical" design choices clearly build on these meanings. William Shakespeare is dressed in a black leather doublet to evoke the swaggering bad boy artist heartthrob, probably down on his luck. So is Kit Marlowe.

But the associations get a little fuzzier after that. Hook, with his eyeliner and jewellery, sure. King Henry, yeah, I see it. It's hideously ahistorical, but sure. But what about Jamie and Will and Ragnar, in their browns and shabby, battle-ready chic? Well, here we get the other strain of Bad Period Drama Leather.

See, designers like to point to history, but it's just not true. Leather armour, especially in the western/European world, is very, very rare, and not just because it decays faster than metal. (Yes, even in ancient Greece/Rome, despite many articles claiming that as the start of the leather armour trend!) It simply wasn't used a lot, because it's frankly useless at defending the body compared to metal. Leather was used as a backing for some splint armour pieces, and for belts, sheathes, and buckles, but it simply wasn't worn like the costumes above. It's heavy, uncomfortable, and hard to repair - it's simply not practical for a garment when you have perfectly comfortable, insulating, and widely available linen, wool, and cotton!

As far as I can see, the real influence on leather in period dramas is fantasy. Fantasy media has proliferated the idea of leather armour as the lightweight choice for rangers, elves, and rogues, a natural, quiet, flexible material, less flashy or restrictive than metal. And it is cheaper for a costume department to make, and easier for an actor to wear on set. It's in Dungeons and Dragons and Lord of the Rings, King Arthur, Runescape, and World of Warcraft.

And I think this is how we get to characters like Ragnar and Vane. This idea of leather as practical gear and light armour, it's fantasy, but it has this lineage, behind which sits cowboy chaps and bomber/flight jackets. It's usually brown compared to the punk bad boy's black, less shiny, and more often piecemeal or decorated. In fact, there's a great distinction between the two Period Leather Modes within the same piece of media: Robin Hood (2006)! Compare the brooding, fascist-coded villain Guy of Gisborne with the shabby, bow-wielding, forest-dwelling Robin:

So, back to the original question: What's the difference between Charles Vane in Black Sails, and Edward Teach in Our Flag Means Death?

Simply put, it's intention. There is nothing intentional about Vane's leather in Black Sails. It's not the only leather in the show, and it only says what all shabby period leather says, relying on the same tropes as fantasy armour: he's a bad boy and a fighter in workaday leather, poor, flexible, and practical. None of these connotations are based in reality or history, and they've been done countless times before. It's boring design, neither historically accurate nor particularly creative, but much the same as all the other shabby chic fighters on our screens. He has a broad lineage in Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean and such, but that's it.

In Our Flag, however, the lineage is much, much more intentional. Ed is a direct homage to Mad Max, the costuming in which is both practical (Max is an ex-cop and road warrior), and draws on punk and kink designs to evoke a counterculture gone mad to the point of social breakdown, exploiting the thrill of the taboo to frighten and titillate the audience.

In particular, Ed is styled after Max in the second movie, having lost his family, been badly injured, and watched the world turn into an apocalypse. He's a broken man, withdrawn, violent, and deliberately cutting himself off from others to avoid getting hurt again. The plot of Mad Max 2 is him learning to open up and help others, making himself vulnerable to more loss, but more human in the process.

This ties directly into the themes of Our Flag - it's a deliberate intertext. Ed's emotional journey is also one from isolation and pain to vulnerability, community, and love. Mad Max (intentionally and unintentionally) explores themes of masculinity, violence, and power, while Max has become simplified in the popular imagination as a stoic, badass action hero rather than the more complex character he is, struggling with loss and humanity. Similarly, Our Flag explores masculinity, both textually (Stede is trying to build a less abusive pirate culture) and metatextually (the show champions complex, banal, and tender masculinities, especially when we're used to only seeing pirates in either gritty action movies or childish comedies).

Our Flag also draws on the specific countercultures of motorcycles, rockers, and gay/BDSM culture in its design and themes. Naturally, in such a queer show, one can't help but make the connection between leather pirates and leather daddies, and the design certainly nods at this, with its vests and studs. I always think about this guy, with his flat cap so reminiscient of gay leather fashions.

More overtly, though, Blackbeard and his crew are styled as both violent gangsters and countercultural rockstars. They rove the seas like a bikie gang, free and violent, and are seen as icons, bad boys and celebrities. Other pirates revere Blackbeard and wish they could be on his crew, while civilians are awed by his reputation, desperate for juicy, gory details.

This isn't all of why I like the costuming in Our Flag Means Death (especially season 1). Stede's outfits are by no means accurate, but they're a lot more accurate than most pirate media, and they're bright and colourful, with accurate and delightful silks, lace, velvets, and brocades, and lovely, puffy skirts on his jackets. Many of the Revenge crew wear recognisable sailor's trousers, and practical but bright, varied gear that easily conveys personality and flair. There is a surprising dedication to little details, like changing Ed's trousers to fall-fronts for a historical feel, Izzy's puffy sleeves, the handmade fringe on Lucius's red jacket, or the increasing absurdity of navy uniform cuffs between Nigel and Chauncey.

A really big one is the fact that they don't shy away from historical footwear! In almost every example above, we see the period drama's obsession with putting men in skinny jeans and bucket-top boots, but not only does Stede wear his little red-heeled shoes with stockings, but most of his crew, and the ordinary people of Barbados, wear low boots or pumps, and even rough, masculine characters like Pete wear knee breeches and bright colours. It's inaccurate, but at least it's a new kind of inaccuracy, that builds much more on actual historical fashions, and eschews the shortcuts of other, grittier period dramas in favour of colour and personality.

But also. At least it fucking says something with its leather.

Kinks/fetishes/sexual interests/what have you that Dean Winchester has that we learned about even if against our will:

Cowboys

Doctors

"Sexy rules"

Panties

Tentacles

[thevioletcaptain]

Day two of the @spnficrecfest is all about kink!

Given that Dean has several established kinks in canon, I've decided to list one fic for each! Which kinks in particular? I'm talking cowboys, tentacles, satiny panties, doctors, and being dominated by his partners -- whether that means being slapped around, or just being given some sexy rules to follow.

Some of these fics are set in the canon universe and some are AU, but all of them feature or explore some aspect of one of Dean's canonically established kinks. Enjoy!

boy leave your boots by the bed by an_ardent_rain Explicit | 9.8k | 🤠

I've had this fic on my to-read list since it was published last September, and I'm so mad at myself for leaving it so long. It's post-canon, set in the open-world Heaven 2.0 that Jack and Cas made, and Dean's cowboy kink not only features heavily throughout, it also serves a catalyst for change in Dean and Cas' relationship. It's hot and sweet in equal measure, and just a really beautifully written fic.

Dean and Castiel's Lagoon of Love by almaasi Explicit | 12.5k | 🐙

This one is described by the author as "Tentacle Porn For People Who Don't Usually Enjoy Tentacle Porn." While I can't speak to how true that might be, this enjoyer of tentacles had a great time. Set in an alternate canon where Cas remained human, the fic opens with Team Free Will arriving back at the bunker after a witch turned Cas into an octopus from the waist down. Dean's desire to have him act out the story of "Sweet Princess Asuka Meets the Tentacles of Pleasure" cannot be repressed, and Cas is more than willing to play along. Just normal boy bestie things!

Satin and Sawdust by Ltleflrt Explicit | 159k | 🩲

If you haven't already read Satin and Sawdust, let this be the day you check it out -- and if you have already read it, here's a sign that it's time to read it again. For the uninitiated, this AU is a rare treat in which Cas is the one having a sexuality crisis, all thanks to his neighbor (and handyman) Dean, whose low-riding waistband and extensive collection of lacy underwear is rapidly driving him out of his mind. It's been a while since I read this fic, but I was just thinking of it earlier this week, so it's definitely time to dive back in. (Side note, the fact that I can't change the color of the underwear emoji is an attack on my freedom of expression or whatever.)

Gimme the News by robotsnchicks Explicit | 1.9k | 🥼

This AU oneshot leans into Dean's medical kink, as he goes to see Doctor!Cas about a potentially "lost" sex toy, and requests a thorough examination. It's tightly written, packing plenty into 1,960 words, and also has some really great characterization -- from Dean's blend of humor and horniness to Cas' exasperation... and horniness. If you're worried about potential dubcon, check the author's end notes for some spoilers left out of the main fic tags :)

dying to let you know by bisexualsage Explicit | 4.7k | 🙇‍♂️

One of my absolute favorite things is when authors use kink as a vehicle for character exploration, and this established relationship post-canon ficlet delivers -- digging into why both Dean and Cas enjoy the dynamics they've found themselves playing out in the bedroom. This fic does have a dash of daddy kink, so beware of that if it's a squick!

Check under the cut for links to all of the rec lists I make for this fest! I'll update with new links as I post them :)

[flowergirlie7]

I dont understand people who hate dean winchester because how can you? He loves to wear silly little outfits, make mixtapes for his boyfriend, wanted to be a rockstar as a kid (though he never got to be), who is so fond of cowboys and old movies, is an absolute nerd, someone who loves with his entire heart??? (and maybe has a bit of a doctor kink but it's okay)

[dianawinchester03]

⭒what i write and what i don’t write⭒

hi lovers!✨as said in the title, this post is just a explaination of what i write and what i don’t. feel free to skip if you’re not up to reading all of this but i’d suggest reading it if you are planning on sending any reqs/asks in my inbox. thanks again for supporting me!!🫶

for starters, i DO write smut and i write almost any kink. i’m very sex positive and am open to writing the world of kinks because i’m kinda twisted in my head lol. i only write for dean winchester right now but soon i will write about other jackles characters. my requests are ALWAYS open, so feel free to suggest anything for any one shots. i do daddy/mommy kinks, dom/sub/switch, praise, degradation (to an extent), bdsm, roleplay within sexual intercourse (eg, cowboy/cowgirl cosplays, nurse/doctor cosplays, prisoner/prison guard cosplays etc). i write a lot more but these are just what i can think off the top of my head

what i DON’T write is scat play, piss play, wincest, dub-con/rape, underage coitus, age gaps more than five years, cheating tropes, reverse harem, threesomes, mxm or fxf/wlw (no hate! i am a bisexual woman of color but i feel as though i wouldn’t be able to do the genre justice, but I do very much enjoy reading them), A/B/O verse - omegaverse (no hate, just not my cup of tea and i don’t know much about the verse) there are more that i don’t do but i can’t remember them all at this very moment, feel free to ask!

yes, i write reader inserts. no, i don’t write in second person pov. i know, i know…it’s kind of the whole point of reader inserts but it’s just a personal preference. i’ve attempted to do it in the past and it just never felt right to me because i never really did it much. i do absolutely loveeeee reading another authors fic in second person because i’ve read a lot of amazing ones so i’m not discriminating anyone who does. but every writer is different and i’m one of those who chooses to write in third person, sorry if that’s not what you prefer!

all of my reader inserts are female readers and i tend to give the reader a little more personality because i don’t like the idea of an empty shell of a reader (another preference of mine, i prefer to read xreaders where y/n has more personality, even if it’s slightly unlike me) what I DONT do is give descriptions of the readers physique or appearance. i keep it vague and simple so anyone could read and enjoy😊

Okay, that should be all! Feel free to message me at any point with any questions incase I missed something and I’ll be happy to answer <3 xoxo

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤

Thank you, friend! I’m excited for my upcoming post-season 15 curtain fic AU, but until that comes out, see the following:

A Cowboy Ghost Story—When Mary Winchester is killed by arson in 1880, her husband John takes his sons on the back trails of Colorado seeking revenge. Sam just wants stability, and Dean wants to please everybody. When John is killed, Dean tries to do right by Sam, even if that means putting their father's mission aside. But what to do about this thing between them that just doesn't fit in anyone's definition of an "apple pie life?" Old west AU with some supernatural stuff, but it’s the human drama that matters here.

The Winchester Boys and the Mystery of the Gold Pocketwatch—Sam is settling into his latest new school in McCall, Idaho, and he’s been promised a whole semester this time. He wasn’t expecting to be drawn into a mystery involving his neighbor, a brazen theft, and a hidden treasure, but he can’t just let it go when the family business is saving people and hunting things. My take on a Hardy Boys mystery. Plus incest.

Sam Teaches Dean How to "Meditate"—Dean is feeling neglected; all Sam wants to do is "meditate" and read on his own. But what is this smoothie that Sam's always drinking? One of my early works, but I like their dynamic.

Supernatural Ficlets—I write these drabbles and ficlets every week based on prompts, and I actually love the short form. I have put them in order so they make a kind of narrative of their relationship over time.

Demons Have Bad Manners—Sam finally tracks down the demon who's been using Dean's body, but Sam is surprised to discover that the demon is Dean. Also: Demon Dean has some strange desires, and he's not afraid to act on them. For the kinks!

He's a Little Bit Country

He's a Little Bit Country by JessJesstheBest (@saywhatjessie) Rating: Teen Word count: 8,5k

"Tell me what we’re doing here today, Clarence.” Castiel shifted on his feet, moodily, but answered her in a grumble. “We’re putting on a concert benefit for Planned Parenthood.” “Right! And why is that?” “Because this country is run by a monster who is trying to take away the reproductive rights of women and we need to raise money to continue to fund our program which helps women have agency in their own bodies." Or the one where Castiel, as part of planned parenthood, puts on a joint punk and country benefit concert where he meets Dean Winchester, the handsome country enthusiast who is also an asshole.

As one of the tags informs us even before we get to the actual story, Cas has tattoos, piercings and wears make-up. He also wears galaxy leggings, and he is a bit punk. As one can imagine, when he meets Dean Winchester - flannel wearing, country music loving, cowboy hat enthusiast, Dean Winchester - Castiel is not impressed. Quite the opposite actually. He can't for the life of him think of a single reason why Dean would attend a Planned Parenthood concert. Oh, wait. It's a country concert - the main reason Cas is in a pissy mood. What a perfect opportunity to take his annoyance out on Mr. country-music-personified. Unfortunately for Cas, Dean is not one to go down without a fight.

This is a delight to read. It's hilarious and filled with all the good tension of enemies to lovers without actually giving us enemies to lovers. Dean and Castiel's back and forth is just *chef's kiss* and captures their most endearing traits perfectly - namely, Cas' adorable awkwardness and Dean's charming rudeness. Bonus points for all the music/kink/protest facts the author managed to include in less than 10K. This is what I call dedication.

Also, this fic gets the ace!Cas stamp of approval (which I just made up), so definitely give it a try if you're looking for fics including asexual characters and check out the author's other works, too.

S2: E3 "Bloodlust"

Brought to you by I PROMISED Kayla yesterday I would watch more when I finished my essay so here I am

This episode featuring: Yet another member of the hunting community, veganism in a fashion, deep discussion on Dean and cowboys, and great fuckin music

Oh whats this song I think I know it

Is that Journey

Is that. Wheel in the Sky?

IT IS FUCK YEAAAA

Jammin I fuckin love this song. Great start

Oh look a scared woman in the woods. Seems standard

Is that the Benadryl Hat Man

Crepe: The What Kayla: probably

Why are you moving around the tree like that

OFF WITH HER HEAD!

OHHHH YEAH FUCK YEAH I LOVE THE SOUNDTRACK ON THIS EP! BACK IN BLACK AC/DC!!

[ Kayla reiterates that the SPN soundtrack is good. I like 70's ans 80's rock so I agree so far. ]

Dean: Woo car! Decapitated heads! Helllll yea!

Kayla: man's two true loves

Lmaoooo

I love them being terrible fake journalists

The cop: SATANISTS? LMAOOOO

Crepe: Everyone loves a Satanist Kayla: title of a black sabbath song Crepe: Really? Kayla: no just a joke Crepe: Oh

Wooo funky impersonations we're goin fast this episode

"Open it" "You open it" Lmaoooo

EWWW TOOTH? FANG???

VAMPIRE??

Whats goin on heeeere are the cowboy vampires back

[ Crepe replies saying it's worse, but at least has the kindness to spoiler hide the rest of the message. It just hid the word Vegan though. ]

[ Then Melon pops in, stating the time in his zone and expressing a worry for my sleep schedule. I told her it's fine, and that I actually am the furthest behind in terms of timezones amongst the group, as it was only a quarter til 9 pm at the time of that message. Not that xey shouldn't worry about my sleep schedule, because it is horrendous, but that's besides the point. ]

"So we're lookin for some people" "Sure it's hard to be lonely"

Ok so that guys gone. Watching them for sure

Yep

They're waiting for him?

Whshshs ok ok whats he want anyways

[ It is about this point where Melon, Crepe, and Kayla digress into some conversation regarding cowboys, vampires, and the resulting combination being a dilemma for Dean and his sexuality. Fascinating stuff, but I wasn't really paying attention as I was engrossed in whatever the Winchesters were doing onscreen. I will, however, transcribe it as well, because I think it's funnier that way. ]

Melon: Do you think cowboy vampires act as a paradox for deans concept of reality. One is something he desperately craves to be, and the other he hates some of the time. It’s like, the taping a piece of toast with jam to a shoe and throwing it. Which overrides the other? Crepe: That would be a very interesting take to explore Kayla: one of them is a kink and the other is vampiress

OHHH yeah hes a hunter?

Ok. Ok he's a little. Seems neat but. Idk. Brushes them off pretty fast. Hm.

Sure of himself? Or something else?

Ok garage guy. You gonna get murked orrrr

Crepe: Why is Dean into cowboys tho? Kayla: have you seen him interact with one heterosexually ever

What are you even looking for

Oh its a bird

Melon: But if faced with something you’re technically supposed to kill but is literally every kink you could ever want besides that one thing, what would dean do Kayla: fuck and kill probably. thats how they seem to usually operate Melon: Ok yeah you’re right Crepe: Monsterfucker and Monsterhunter

OOHHG FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Why is a vampire working a garage

[ Kayla says its a capitalist hellscape, even vampires need the money. Which. Fair. Gotta pay for those replacement clothes when you get blood on them I guess. ]

AAAAAAAA

Oh hey theres the Winchesters

Ewwwww chainsaw blood spatter. Kinda a look for Dean tho

[ Kayla and Melon both agree with this statement. ]

Sam whats up with that look. Problem that your brother chainsawed a vampire's head off

Melon: Dean at peak is covered in blood, holding a shotgun chainsaw, and in full cowboy outfit Kayla: sharknado 6 Melon: I mean we were all thinking it Crepe: I wasn't

Cmon Sam. Its about the murder and blood spatters. Get down with it

Kayla: sharknado but everything is the same except dean is fin Melon: That really changes nothing besides that the wife would be a dude instead Kayla: cas Melon: That’s what I said

[ They then discuss something about Cas that I apparently won't understand for like 8 and a half more seasons. C'mon guys, I haven't even met the guy yet. ]

What is going on over drinks here

Oh. So a vampire killed this guy's sister. :(

Right makes sense as hunter backstory

Dean finally admitting somethin abt how he feels abt their dad passing. And its to some guy they JUST MET INSTEAD OF HIS BROTHER

[ Melon says it's because it's easier to admit to a stranger than someone you know. Kayla adds that he has to be strong for Sam. Ah, yes, the constipated older brother syndrome. I get it. ]

I don't think this hunter guy is handling his emotions well gonna say

Gordon Walker? That's his name? K

Oh ok so this guy's just fuckin nuts. Got it.

[ They now discuss telling strangers about trauma with no warning. They come to the conclusion that this is just Tumblr. ]

"Yknow what I love about this life? It's all black and white." Hmmmmmmmm

Yeah this guy's more than a bit off his rocker and you both should leave!

Uh oh Sammy

Why does Sam keep getting stalked and/or jumped by shit huh

Don't breathe a sufg of relief you idiot

[ I meant to type "sigh", not whatever happened there. Add that to the list of Ink typos. ]

Oh look! Vampire! Of course

??

VEGAN VAMPIRES?

[ Crepe goes on a tangent about said Vegan Vampires, of which I follow maybe half of. ]

Ohhhh cattle blood. Funky

Vegan Vampires just living their lives I guess. Good for them! Unfortunately Sam and Gordon won't listen to him probably

Dean is too murder happy and Sam is not quite murder happy enough and they yell at each other about it

[ Apparently, they say, this is the plot of season 10. What the hell does that mean. ]

HE STOLE THE CAR!! THEY HAVE TO HOTWIRE THEIR OWN CAR!!!

*keys not the car

Somethin about this chick's delivery. Weird. Not like in a suspicious way just in a What is this Acting way

Sam and his sad, sad eyebrow scrunch

Eww stabby

Gordon u got issues homie

Weird fuckin guy. Weeeird fuckin guy.

Shes trying her best leave her alone

Hunter fight! Hunter fight! Get his ass Dean!

WHSHSHSH screaming. Dean telling Sam to punch him. Bc he was a dick.

[ Kayla and Crepe both say they're going to bed, not even waiting 3 minutes for me to finish the episode. Rude. ]

DEAN ADMITTED THEIR DAD WASN'T PERFECT!!! HOLY SHIT!!!

Man now they have to deal with more Moral Quandries. Have fun with that boys!

And away they go. Into the sunrise.

---

I cannot emphasize enough how much I was not paying attention to whatever the hell my friends were talking about in the moment. Absolutely wild to go back and read all that. What the fuck are they on about

Anyways. Vegan Vampires I guess! That's a thing! Wild.

In which: Charlie helps Castiel get his head out of his ass and confess his feelings for his best friend, just days before they graduate college. Will everything go as planned?

Castiel grimaces at the cap and gown hanging on the inside of his closet door as he reaches in to grab a hoodie. Graduation is a week away, and while for most college seniors that means excitement about the future, relief that finals are over, and frenzied dorm room packing, for him it’s just a looming black cloud. 

Graduation means moving out, and moving out means leaving the apartment that he and Dean have shared for the last six years, all through undergrad and grad school. 

It means leaving Dean. 

Castiel shuts the closet door with more force than necessary. He slips into his hoodie and heads out to the living room, where Charlie is waiting with coffees in hand. It’s Monday, which means they walk to class together, since the computer engineering building is right next door to the astrophysics cluster. Dean leaves much earlier in the morning so he can put in a shift at Singer Salvage before his classes.

“Hey, Doc!” Charlie sing-songs. “Five more days!”

“We’re getting our Masters’, not our PhDs,” Castiel grumbles. “And don’t remind me.”

“Still feeling blue?” Charlie waits while he tugs on his custom black high-top vans with the yellow bumblebee pattern — a gag gift from Dean that Castiel wears every day anyway. He slings his messenger bag over his shoulder, then takes the coffee from Charlie with a grateful smile.

“You know I can’t be excited,” he says, locking the door behind them. “More is ending than is beginning.”

Charlie rolls her eyes. “You’re so dramatic. Neither of you even know what you’re doing after graduation yet. You could just keep living together. Literally nothing is stopping you.”

“He’s given me no indication that he wants that.” The words hurt to say, but Castiel has to acknowledge the truth. 

Dean — brilliant, charismatic, handsome Dean — might not know right now what he wants to do with his Master’s in Education, but never once has he mentioned Castiel in any of his ideas. They quietly let their lease expire, Castiel began looking into research institutions on the coasts, and Dean talked about picking up some more shifts at the garage over the summer. So it goes, Castiel supposes. 

It’s a chilly, overcast June day, which Castiel finds fitting. He and Charlie start off in the direction of campus. 

“Well, have you ‘given him an indication?’” Charlie asks, imitating Castiel’s deeper voice. 

Castiel sips his coffee — a perfect honey latte. “There’s no point. He wouldn’t leave his family, and I wouldn’t ask.”

“Well, if you’re so sure , then what the hell do you have to lose by nutting up and telling him how you feel?”

“Other than my dignity?” Castiel huffs an exasperated sigh. “Listen, I appreciate you wanting to help. But it’s nearly graduation and Dean hasn’t asked me to stay. I have to assume that’s for a reason.”

Charlie frowns. “For an astrophysicist, you’re pretty short-sighted.” 

“Yes, well, the galaxy is infinitely less complicated than Dean Winchester.”

They arrive at the campus quad, lush green this time of year, and pause between their buildings. Charlie reaches out to adjust the shooting star pin on his bag — another gift from Dean. “You know I just want you two to be happy, right?”

“I know,” Castiel replies quietly. 

“So please believe me, as someone who knows both of you very well , that you’re shooting yourself in the foot here.” She locks eyes with him, as if to ensure he’s listening. “Don’t make yourself live in regret forever.” And with that, she flashes a grin and a Vulcan salute, and marches off to class. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Castiel drags himself through the day. He can’t get Charlie’s warning of regret out of his head. He sits on the couch that evening, watching Dean make dinner and sing along to one of his odd playlists of classic rock, Taylor Swift, and show tunes. Occasionally Dean will glance over and flash him a smile, or sing a line at him into the spatula, or point at him as he slides across the tile in his socks. Castiel laughs and claps for him, and at one point, as he watches Dean’s green eyes focus on the vegetables he’s chopping, something clicks.

He pulls out his phone and texts Charlie.

CAS: I don’t want to lose him. 

CHARLIE: :’) Finally

CAS: What do I do? I can’t just spring this on him over lasagna.

CHARLIE: Maybe plan an outing or sth? Set the scene? Grand gesture?

CAS: How do you ‘set the scene’ to announce something like that

CHARLIE: You know Dean better than anyone. Think about what he likes!

“Food’s ready,” Dean calls, carrying two steaming plates over to the coffee table. 

CAS: gotta go. But thank you, Charlie

CHARLIE: Get your man!! I believe in you!!!! <3 

Castiel hastily shoves his phone away as Dean plops down next to him. As they banter over dinner, he starts devising his plan.
