I sometimes try to consider shipping Salthazar but I honestly don't think my poor wittle virgin brain could handle it because there would be so. Much. Sex. Furniture would need replaced on a regular basis, keeping the place clean would become so much more important, and Sam would spend half his time wondering when his life became a porno. I mean, I respect Balthazar as a more complicated character than what he wants others to see, but I don't think it was ALL an act.
also dude right? balthazar would be such a little fucking shit, man. he’d tease sam and taunt him until sam just snapped and threw him down and the harder sam went the more balthazar would love it
and balthazar getting attached to sam because he’s got all these emotions with his free will and he has literally no fucking clue what he’s supposed to do with this, he’s spent so much time avoiding his goddamn emotions that now he’s getting pleasant ones he doesn’t know how to deal
and sam finds all these gifts just left in random places, like a jacket or something with a note that says, just happened to be your size, and sam’s pretty sure bal’s not paying for any of this shit, but when he gets a car to replace the one cas fucking broke when he and the other angel fell on it he doesn’t think he minds so much
and plus, there’s quite a bit of street cred in it for balthazar when he says he’s fucking sam winchester and living through it
