So ya'll remember when I went on a rant about what kind of Uni Professor Castiel would be?
I need ya'll to hear me out again:
Dean, a firefighter, has been trying to score a date with Sam's Quantum Physics professor for MONTHS
The reason? When an earthquake hit the university, causing a building collapse, Dean, as a first responder, was there to witness Castiel saving his brother's life
He came into the half-collapsed building to find this professor somehow holding up a large slab of wall all on his own, using some kind of physics-based contraption he clearly cobbled together in the heat of the moment. Sam knocked out underneath it, the only thing stopping him from getting crushed to death was Castiel
At first, Dean just wanted to formally thank the man for saving his brother. Then he witnesses Castiel actually giving his lecture and falls in love with the crazy passion the man has
Like, CRAZY passion. Castiel gives his lectures like he's giving a sermon to the faithless. Like every word coming out of his mouth was a frantic babble of shit Dean could barely understand. He talks like it's the word of God and he's pissed off that he was the chosen one to speak His truth. Sammy even tells Dean that Professor Castiel (Last name unknown, and he keeps it that way) may have a God Complex that's actively ruining his life
And Dean can't help but be drawn to that passion. Castiel wasn't putting on an act. It was raw. He wore a trench coat that was too big for him, his suit looked like it was never ironed, and Dean was sure the man didn't know how to tie a tie. He looked crazed, constantly. And he was GOOD at his job, at least that's what Sam tells Dean, since every student in Castiel's class has passed with flying colors
Castiel was also very open about his indifference to gender and sexuality after a student commended, "No wonder you can't get a girlfriend". Which is great for Dean cause it means he's on the market
Bad news is that Castiel keeps dodging every shot Dean shoots at him. Like, at first, Dean thought it was just Castiel not knowing Dean was flirting with him, which Dean thought he could work with
Then, on attempt number 7, when Dean ran into Cas at a grocery store, did it really sink in
"Mr. Winchester, I understand you are infatuated with me for reasons I don't understand, but I am married to my job. I would rather set myself on fire than do anything that takes time away from what I love. Please leave me alone."
And yeah, that fucking hurt, so Dean stops trying
A month later, Dean goes to pick up Sam from Uni since his car broke down and Dean had a day off. He walks into Castiel's classroom because that's where Sam told him to wait (his stuff was there) and was lucky to find it empty.
Dean gets bored after 2 minutes of just sitting and decides to check out the weird numbers and symbols on the whiteboard, along with what looked like a conspiracy corkboard next to it. He thinks it's probably a lecture and is surprised to find he kinda understands parts of it in his own way
He notices a mistake in the numbers and, thinking it wasn't a big deal, grabs a marker and makes a quick correction
Then the door opens and Prof Castiel is there, looking frazzled and utterly pissed off to high heavens. Castiel sees Dean messing with his thesis and is about to tell him off when he actually takes a second to look at what Dean did
Dean's apologizing, babbling on about not knowing what it was for and that he'll write it back to before
Then Castiel says, "... you solved it"
"You solved my equation."
"Uh yeah, man. Saw some numbers in the wrong place and just-"
And Dean thinks he's about to get kicked out, "I don't know.. kinda just.. I understood it."
"You understood... my work"
The next thing Dean knows, he's sitting in Castiel's chair with a lap full of crazy professor. Castiel has his shirt gripped tight, practically choking him, while staring Dean down with the biggest crazed blue eyes you ever did see
Dean starts fearing for his life
But then Castiel says, "Date me," like it was a demand, not a suggestion
And Dean has no fucking idea what to do with himself
