Yes! Exactly why I made this! 

Well…

I actually wanted to gif the FIRST gif as the reason for making this, just because I feel like I don’t see gifs of the whole “Dean reacting in pure alarm to have Cas invading his personal space because he’s so weirded out to have him back like this” moment just because I realised Cas was slotting into his “space” at Dean’s side (so I was feeling really happy about Cas having that little subliminaly possessive moment – this is right before 8×08 where they’re GLUED to each other and it’s both their faults) and Dean – who has only just spent a scene freaking out about Cas being back – reacts like that. 

It’s like the infamous moment just before, where Dean is talking to Sam about how something is “deeply wrong” with the fact Cas has popped back into their lives like “hello, Dean” like nothing ever changed, but then the moment Cas comes out the bathroom, Dean just totally loses his train of thought and however you’re reading it (…) he’s totally overwhelmed at the sight of Cas, all his concern from the conversation with Sam dropped in favour of just reacting to Cas.

And then here, their next “physical” interaction (kinda) after that, Dean recoils from Cas, like he’s still trying to figure everything out and then just… looks at Cas (tbh I think I cut those gifs really sloppily but it wasn’t my focus and probably 90% of all gifs made of this episode are either the boner moment or Dean looking Cas up and down like that…) And Dean just totally loses himself for a moment, even leans back into Cas’s space, and then like you say, chastises himself for looking… 

So as much as the boner moment, it comes across so much as Dean having a series of totally involuntary reactions to Cas’s presence up until the last gif where, because Sam’s phone rings and sort of drags Dean back to the real world, he manages to look away and STOP reacting to Cas’s physical presence…

Anyway I figured because we see this moment most often in general Destiel gifsets just focusing on that little moment where Dean’s eyes go up and down Cas, having the context either side of the look was really interesting so I decided to gif the whole sequence from the moment the camera landed on Dean til the moment it cut away. 😀

(I meant to write a (shorter :P) caption based on the first gif, but I stuck this in my queue to borrow the first gif for my rewatch and then because I’ve had a really patchy last few days and taken 3 days to get 25 minutes into 8×07, this posted before I had a say in it >.>)
