So Dean had been comparing Jessie and Cesar’s relationship to his and Sam’s, as one of brothers. He originally identified with them believing that their “bickering” and obvious closeness was because they were like him and Sam. When Cesar corrected him, and gruffly said “More like an old married couple,” I think Cesar was half-expecting a negative reaction to that. He was giving Dean A Significant Look, sort of daring him to make some kind of bigoted remark.

Of course Dean wouldn’t do that, but I’m sure a gay couple hunting together have had their share of run-ins with intolerant people.

But Dean’s reaction was really interesting. He gives a little, oh OH! and then he realizes that HE’S the one who’s sort of put his own foot in his mouth. He’s not weirded out by THEIR relationship, but at the inadvertent implication that he and Sam have that kind of relationship, as well.

Ever since Dean’s “Ew, don’t they know we’re brothers?” “I don’t think it matters to them,” “That’s sick!” judgment on his own relationship with Sam, even on top of all the early seasons jokes that they were “together together,” and Dean’s resolute insistence at every turn that no, they’re just brothers, I can’t help but see this any other way.

Dean’s discomfort had zero to do with the happy married gay couple. It had 100% to do with the fact that he’d accidentally implied that he and Sam were also a happy married gay couple. Which they’re not.

I mean, otherwise what would the point be of ASKING THEM SPECIFICALLY what it’s like to “settle down with another hunter,” because obviously Dean’s been hunting with Sam for ages, but they’re not now, nor will they ever be, “settled down” together. So clearly, he’s inquiring what it might be like to actually settle down with someone.

Now that I’ve typed this all out, I kinda feel like I already made this post?

*checks to make sure I really haven’t actually made this post yet*

Nah, I’ve just been dwelling on it for the last 3 hours. hahaha oh my.

Dude, you can make this post every day and twice on Sundays, because HOLY SHIT YES THIS.
