No kidding! Not only was Cas peacocking (look at me do human right, Dean!) and totally failing at being nonchalant, but Dean was unconvincingly trying to be stoic in his efforts to push Cas away. Both were overcompensating by miles.
Then we have some interesting End!verse parallels and this scene is heightened from mere Destiel subtext, or Cas seemingly acting OOC again, to something a little more sinister and heartbreaking.
Cas to Dean: “Hey, you once told me you don’t choose what you do, it chooses you.”
This is an interesting statement regarding free will. There’s a difference between being called to do something and having no other choice but to do something. It’s often a confusing issue and herein is highlighted the difference. Cas has a calling to help. He is listening to his heart and in so doing finding a little peace at being human. Dean, is doing the opposite. Denying himself, and Sam, free will. He is noticeably not at peace.
Drunk Cas in the bar was the gayest thing to ever gay. I was very pleased with that scene (the comments about April being the only exception) and also very relieved, considering that this was the same writing team that gave us 9×03 and the most ooc Cas i’ve ever seen (again, aside from him calling April hot.)
