Ugh sorry, but this is the line that slays me every SINGLE TIME.

Because Cas has known the Winchesters for, what, four/five years? And, as viewers, we’ve barley even cracked the surface of their time spent together. Most of what we’ve seen has been what’s fuelled the plot etc, right? But what about all the other times that Cas dropped in on the Winchesters just to see them for the sake of company, or all the times the boys called Cas down to have a beer with them after a hunt. 

Think about all these extra scenes and conversations they must have had together that we don’t see! That’s why I hate it when people underestimate these guys. Because what we’re shown in the show is only a snapshot of their relationship- Dean/Cas are canonically best friends. And although it definitely helps (lol), saving each others lives and going through drama together isn’t really all that builds a friendship. It’s also all of the getting to know each other that you do, all of the time you spend doing nothing together or something menial or stupid.

And Dean’s relationships, platonic or not, don’t last very long. Because they either die or he pushes them away. But he’s known Cas for years. YEARS.

YEARS.

CRIES.
