Monday 2: Gentleman
[doing this] (~900 words)
One thing Sam noticed changing after Dean and Cas got together was that sometimes, when they weren’t bickering like an old married couple, Dean would treat Cas like a king. Like the ground should be honored to have the angel walk upon it.  
He’d offer Cas the bigger slice of pie and pull out the chair for Cas to sit on, as if the angel couldn’t manage to sit his butt on it himself. 
He’d let Cas ride shotgun, banishing Sam and his gangly, suffering legs to the backseat. 
He’d let Cas smite doors open when he felt like it, no matter the time and effort it took to repair the damage afterwards, just to see that satisfied smirk grace Cas’ face. 
He’d lay out the library chair with soft pillows so princess Castiel could sit comfortably while Dean fanned him with a palm branch and fed him grapes (only one of those things actually happened, but it might as well have been all three).
The lengths to which Dean would go to please his sweetheart were getting ridiculous. Sam had watched it proceed uncommented for a long while, because at the bottom of his heart, he was happy for his brother and best friend. They were clearly made for each other, like God molded them out of the same frustratingly stubborn piece of clay, one of them just centuries later than the other. And seeing a smile on the face of someone who almost never smiled was always something, Sam thought.
But Sam wasn’t a saint. Even he couldn’t hold back on his commentary forever. It was the little brother genes that commanded him to give Dean a hard time no matter the circumstances.
So one day, when they were digging up a grave to burn a vengeful ghost’s bones before anyone else would be hurt, Sam’s limit was reached.
Because when he wanted to take a break and switch with the physically strongest member of their team, Dean pretty resolutely put a stop to it.
“What,” Sam could only splutter when Dean intercepted the shovel he’d wanted to hand over to Cas. 
“We’re not making him dig, what sort of guy are you?” 
“He can lift an anvil over his head without breaking a sweat, I think he can handle it better than us.” By way of proof and in hopes of getting some sympathy, Sam showed him the callouses that had already appeared on his hands.
“I can–” Cas tried to settle their little dispute, but Dean wouldn’t back down. 
“He’s not gonna do the dirty work, Sam! Have some respect.” With that, he jumped into the hole next to Sam, successfully blocking his way out. 
“What, is it his birthday or something?”
“No,” Dean said, hand coming up to rub against his neck. “There have to be a special occasion for me to treat my man right?”
Sam rolled his eyes too far back to see the surprised and very happy smile Cas directed Dean’s way then.
“Oh, Dean.” The former commander of heavenly armys’ voice was all soft and laced with affection.
At the same time, Sam made fake gagging noises and expressed what everyone in this graveyard knew, remains of long dead people included: “Oh my god, Dean, you’re so whipped.”
“Shut up.” Dean barked, totally not getting a little red in the face, and pretended to shift his focus entirely to the digging.
“No, seriously, man.” Sam wouldn’t be himself if he let his brother get away so easily. “Who'd have thought you can be a real gentleman when you're tryna get laid.”
Dean snorted. "Pfft I don't have to act all gentlemanly to get into Cas' pants. Watch this.” He looked up at Cas to catch his eye. “Hey Cas, wanna have sex?" he called out.
Cas met his gaze evenly, nothing but a faint glint in his eyes revealing the anticipation that rose in him at Dean’s crude suggestion. "Oh. Yes," he agreed pleasantly, before tilting his head to amend, “After we’ve released this vengeful spirit from his restless undead existence and transferred him into the afterlife he deserves, of course.”
“Of course,” Dean winked at Cas. “Motel room, later. It’s a date.” 
“Classy,” commented Sam dryly.
Dean grinned like a cheshire cat. “What can I say, man. It works,” he bragged, and promptly resumed digging.
Releasing a long-suffering sigh, Sam went back to work as well. “You know, that just means you’re being this sickly sweet with Cas for no reason, right.”
Out of the corners of his eyes, he watched out for the blush creeping up on Dean’s face. And it did appear. But instead of brushing off the teasing comments to keep up his very manly facade like Sam expected, Dean just shrugged.
“I just appreciate what I got, man,” he said, staring up at Cas, who stared right back.
“He is very naturally thoughtful and appreciative,” agreed Cas dreamily.
And that fast, they’d drifted off into their own world again, completely forgetting the rest of the world and the fact that they came here to finish a goddamn hunt and not make mooneyes at each other for fuck’s sake.
Sam sighed again, shaking his head to the heavens. Thrusting the shovel blade into the dirt, he resigned himself to having to dig up these bones all by himself.

would you like to expand on your he/him joana thoughts?
oh hell yess! this headcanon is pretty self-indulgent so i don't have like a deep analysis of it (tho maybe one day i'll be inspired to do that too 👀) it's mostly based on the fact that i simply like it but i absolutely have more thoughts on it!
i feel like out of all the isaks & evens (minus shay) joana is the most likely to have a v complicated relationship w gender but in a way that he has fun w it u know? like i think joana has the potential to actually identify as nonbinary but in my own headcanons he doesn't rly pick a descriptive lable for his gender expression n rather defines it by feelings & experiences
like for example dating cris he would adore to be her girlfriend or wife or "my girl" bc they're in love so he would identify w womanhood & even love being a woman via that but like on his own terms. i feel like joana's presentation is already pretty gnc in the canon universe (if i'm not just projecting slfjkd) so i like to think that he would assert that by going by he/him pronouns
as we know joana is v artistic so i think he'd definitely apply that kind of artistic experimenting on his own fashion/style to also physically appear more as a gnc woman. if u've ever seen that post/tiktok that's like "do u ever wanna dress feminine but in the way men dress feminine?" i think joana would rly relate to that n use femininity as just another form of fashion that he could balance out w the fact that he's socially gnc (mostly the pronouns but also the way he experiences/lives through life by a complicated identity) n just!! the idea of joana using gender expressions as a form of art makes me so happy n i feel like cris would be v excited to see that too n would always introduce joana like "here's my girlfriend i love him so much" to quickly n casually state joana's pronouns while making her gf feel understood & appreciated 😌
i usually just keep this hc to myself n often use she/her when making public posts abt joana but it's actually nice to ramble abt it bc i love this hc so much n it's rly important to me so thank u for asking! :) 💌

Im in love with your vision of Infinite and Rookie and i want to hear some of your sweet headcanons about their time together. If anyone asked something similar, refer me to this post, please. Thanks!
alskdjnsjklnljkls tysm!!!! yeah sure ill share some headcanons. i did a post on a similar topic about a month ago but that’s more their individual personalities/aesthetics than actual relationship material so ill go ahead and add on some stuff here.
i should note that portions of this are based heavily off of the idea that they grew up together so prepare for some au territory at this point. my backstory for them is becoming so intricate jfc;;;;;; i really hope ur not disappointed with this answer i have like an entire pre-forces narrative planned out in my head at this point OTL if u were hoping for more general stuff just lemme know i can give you some more hcs for that (there’s already some but there’s also Backstory stuff that i can’t really explore through oneshot format)
this is entirely self indulgent tbhhhh anyways click that mf Keep reading button
there’s a lot of like. casual touch. lotsa hugs and leaning on each other and resting their chin on the other’s shoulder (or top of head depending on who’s who bc height difference) while looking over them at what they’re doing and its really rooted in their learning early on how much Gadget loves that sweet sweet Physical Contact (if u scratch behind his ears he will melt, guaranteed, you’ll have yourself a Boneless Gadget with a two-liter coke)
if it’s raining out gadget will insist on doing something that’s not just sitting inside all day but snugglin w/ infinite ends up tempting him into doing Exactly That lol
there’s a lot of companionable silence between them when it’s just Them Alone in a Room. sure they talk and chat and joke but there are so many times where it’s just,,, being Together,,, and enjoying being in the other’s presence as they each do their own thing
sorta going into childhood/backstory stuff but uhhhh:
starting freshman year of highschool they started just bein each other’s dates to school dances even though they were “just friends” for like half of that timespan . i love cheesy stuff like that im sorry bro i had to include that tidbit i know it’s super specific and particular to my own backstory for them but just, they’re best buds and they gonna have a good time at homecoming lol
please imagine: those cute pre-dance pictures that parents take at the stairwell or front porch or somethin right before their kids leave, but with gadget and infinite. gadget’s got braces and they dont really fit in his mouth and his lenses reflect the light in the photo and oops infinite blinked and his shirt is too big and tbh their suits in gen just don’t really fit them right, gadget’s shirt is untucked and infinite’s tie is crooked but it’s okay, they’re both smilin reeeeaaaal big (and besides they figure out how to look Aesthetically Pleasing by junior year)
summers were hot in their hometown (note: i grew up in the north so i know nothing of True Heat, bear with me on this one.) most evenings were spent out on gadget’s fam’s back porch, cold towels resting on the backs of their necks, sweat in and under their fur, and they’re melting into the wood of the deck, fan plugged into that one weird outlet on the outside of the house that’s really more a fire hazard than anything else but the cool air is nice. they’re just lounging around reading comic books and listening to music on infinite’s old zune (lots of mid-2000s punk rock bands bc what else were u expecting) and in later years when they’re in that teen puppy love stage they’re trying to cuddle but it’s TOO DAMN HOT OUTSIDE so they resort to like, gentle hand holding, infinite reading some pretentious literary work or whatever and gadget spacing tf out next to him
when they graduate and are assigned a partner to walk down the aisle with they still end up w/ each other even though technically the partners are chosen according to alphabetical order and they’re on opposite ends of that list whOOPS how’d they do that? (hint: last minute shuffling in line)
when they move outta their small lil home town and into The Big City (im gonna say that would be Sunset Heights to tie in some canon plot relevance) they move in together and share a flat. a) its more financially manageable to just split housing costs like that and b) it’s been a dream their entire lives to live together when they’re older so oh!!! they’re older now!!!!! time to live together
(okay that’s all for backstory stuff back to reg hcs)
neither can cook but its ok
it may seem like they bicker a lot but it’s usually either the like, joke argue of “what do you mean craft mac n cheese is gross take that back” or reprimands like “it’s one a.m. time to sleep u Fool” (self-care is important, lads). they actually communicate really well so high-stakes arguments aren’t super common (and when they do happen they dont tend to explode. i wanted to have them be the type that argue for understanding and not to prove they’re right, so that greatly affects the outcomes of their disputes.)
infinite loves to hum while he’s doing things, or just in gen, and his voice is very low and smooth and gadget looooooves it, so much. they’ll be, i dunno, doing some mundane thing, like maybe they’re out getting groceries or doin dishes or something (i love me that domestic content) and he’ll start humming quietly and it just, it really grounds gadget in a way that sometimes he doesn’t even know he needs till infinite does it.
anyone here ever played bayonetta? any a yall remember those bits where there’s a woman in bayo’s memories singing and/or humming ‘fly me to the moon’ all quiet and low? think that but just,,,, pitched down,,,, yeah,,,
the tunes are usually very slow and while not so much melancholy theyre just? i dunno melodic in the same lax, smooth-tempo’d way a lot of melancholy songs are? i dunno i like quiet, introspective infinite and aesthetics that reflect that
here’s a long one: about a month before infinite “goes missing” and forces happens, infinite lands a job at a local news outlet as one of the column writers and even tho he’s more into prose than journalism he’s so fuckin pumped. it’s mostly just excitement over not doing cashier work and having a money-makin outlet he’s at least somewhat interested in lol …aaaaaand the way ship headcanon works into this bullet is that when he finds out that he landed the job he so excited that when gadget walks into the room (it’s morning and gadget literally was just gonna get some coffee, he’s still in his pajamas, he’s got bedhead) infinite sees him and whoops he tackle-hugs him and then whoops he knocked them both onto the floor but its cool gadget kinda let it happen and when infinite tells him what happened and apologizes he’s now also super excited and happy for him so now there’s two (2) people screaming inside (and out) about this awesome development
here’s a short one: they wear each other’s clothes a lot
gadget’s v cuddly in his sleep so he gets really clingy w/ infinite when a) it’s early morning and they’re just waking up b) it’s Late o’ clock at night and they’re chillin at home or c) he’s Actually asleep and within like three feet of infinite
i dont really know how to end this lol i dont really wanna just start repeating myself and i might think of other stuff later but for now pls consider the following: when they sleep whoever’s big spoon ends up resting one hand over the other’s heart and it’s super sweet
oh and they smooch a lot (i told you this response was self indulgent)
