The show would be completely different. They’d have to do romantic story-lines like Dean refusing to leave purgatory without Cas and Cas being brainwashed until the power of Dean’s love for him overcomes it. And instead of Dean always using straight rock aliases he’d sometimes use a queer rocker like Freddie Mercury. Clearly there is no room in this show for Dean and Cas to be in that kind of relationship.
Seriously, can you imagine Dean giving Cas a mixtape of his favorite zeppelin songs? Or Cas saying “I love you” followed by “I love all of you” to make it clear that the first one was meant for Dean? Dean calling cas sunshine? No this is ridiculous, the change would be drastic , they can’t do that.
I just can’t imagine it. Picture Cas killing a reaper just because he didn’t want Dean and his family to die. Just the thought of Dean searching for Cas day in and day out when he’s missing and Dean all worried and leaving messages in Cas’s phone… It just seems a little too much, ya know
And Dean would be angry every time Cas puts himself in danger (because he would be so scared to lose him), so much that it makes Sam uncomfortable. Maybe even it would be so obvious that OTHER characters would notice their affection, and use it against them! (Can you imagine something like that?!)
No, this is the kind of romantic silliness that can’t happen in SPN, it’s not that kind of a TV show! smh
Not to forget that if Cas ever got killed Dean would completely break down and forget everything, even imminent threats that could vanquish the whole world – instead just falling on his knees next to Cas’ corpse, unable to do anything else.
Man, that would be so disgusting.
Guys, I just found this manip of Dean with tears in his eyes asking CAS to stay with him and Sam.
No, this is not ok, stop it guys, we are just hurting ourselves, we won’t see this kind of scene in spn,forget it.
But if Destiel did become canon it would seem so out of the blue ya know?
We would have really needed some good build up first…
Maybe two seasons where the undercurrent revolves around Dean’s love for Cas being romantic and not fraternal, having half the episodes starting and finishing with Dean increasingly worrying about Cas and Sam being put in the supportive brother role, maybe even having the whole plot line of the big bad making no sense at all if Cas is not in love with Dean and vice-versa and them being used to supernaturally contact each other through their hearts and being used against each other as bait.
Maybe as Dean’s facade starts to come down towards his endgame things between them start to appear more romantic, meanwhile we would need some kind of reason why Cas has never acted on his feelings before now, perhaps he is forbidden by Heaven or something?
Then maybe just to hammer it home after a one sided love declaration an exchange of a mixtape in return or something just as tropey and notice-worthy to ensure it’s shown as a romantic relationship…
But until we get that it wouldn’t really make sense!
Dean wakes to the feeling of a warm body in his arms.
He blinks his eyes slowly. In front of him, he sees a head of dark, messy hair.
Oh. He’s had this dream before.
Dean closes his eyes again and wraps his arms tighter around Cas. He shifts closer and blindly presses his mouth to the back of Cas’s head.
“Mornin’, Cas,” Dean says, voice hoarse from sleep. Cas is stirring, Dean can feel it. He waits expectantly, wondering if his subconscious had decided to bless him with sleepily affectionate Cas or perhaps something a little… hotter.
Cas tensing up in his hold though… that was new.
“Dean?”
That wasn’t Cas’s voice.
Dean blinks again and lifts his head to find Sam staring at him in wide-eyed shock. Sam is standing in the kitchenette of the extended stay motel room, a bowl of oatmeal forgotten in his hands.
For a moment, nothing makes sense. Then, abruptly, it does.
The endless string of ‘no vacancy’ signs until they’d finally found a single room open. Finding out that room only had two queen beds. Drawing lots to see who was sharing their bunk.
Being too aware of Cas’s even breathing next to him to fall asleep. Blowing years of carefully concealed longing and buried feelings because Dean Winchester can’t fucking tell the difference between dreams and reality when he’s half-asleep.
Fuck.
“Dean?” And that is Cas, awake and twisting in Dean’s arms.
Dean looks back at Cas, feeling a bit like he’s staring down an oncoming train. There’s no way to play this off, no way to claim he’d been dreaming of… of Lisa or Cassie or someone, and he’s still holding Cas, shit-
Cas’s hand comes up and Dean flinches, almost expecting to get punched, but the hand that cups his cheek is gentle. Dean opens his eyes again just in time to see Cas close the last of the distance between them and lay a gentle kiss on the corner of Dean’s mouth.
It’s a running theme that Cas has a hot female lieutenant and Dean is jealous.
The second one is actually full on portrayed as jealousy in 9×22 and the Cas/Hannah relationship is romantically coded with fake kisses and an attempt at seduction as well as using the exactsame feelings of worrying and focus to portray romantic feelings between Hannah towards Cas as Cas is portraying towards Dean.
