Could Gordon’s actor have played the character more seductively in that first episode? I don’t believe he could have.
YES! His soft tone, the gentle way he panders to everything Dean wants to hear…
Yes, exactly. I knew there was a reason that I looked at that gifset and said “I need to go read some Gordon/Dean now.” Because it is a seduction.
And then, not a few episodes later, he’s got Dean all tied up, using that same soft voice. It’s all ‘I’m doing this for you, Dean, because you can’t.’ I swear he’s one step away from keeping Dean tied up in his trunk until he loves him.
