it's funny how much more blatantly ROMANTIC Dean and Cas' relationship gets when you compare it to the relationship between Cas and Sam.
Just this simple comparison that highlights the stark difference between these two bonds makes one go: oh...
Because Cas and Sam are FRIENDS. And they are FAMILY. BROTHERS even. And yet...
Can you imagine Castiel being brainwashed into killing THOUSANDS of Sams???
Or Sam fishing Castiel's bloody trenchcoat out of the river and carrying it with him from car to car??????
Or Sam on his knees looking Cas deeeply in the eyes while whispering I NEED YOU and breaking Cas' brainwashing???
Or Sam staying a year in Purgatory FOR Cas and praying to him EVERY NIGHT????
Or Sam gifting Cas a MIXTAPE with the songs from his favourite band his parents fell in love to????
Or Sam on his knees by Castiel's dead body, all speechless, shattered, broken????
Or Sam preparing Castiel's body for the Hunter's Funeral alone???
Or Sam on his knees, sobbing, and praying to Cas for forgiveness????
Can you imagine all that????? No, no you can't.
