For prompt requests how about Dean/Cas/Benny, with coming out shenanigans where it turns out all of them have been slightly dishonest about their queerness? (like, someone is actually trans! Someone else is pan! idek just cute not in a "they've been cruelly misleading" more of a "I was freaked how you'd react")
It kind of turned into a coming out thing with Dean's dishonesty at being how oblivious he is which I think should get dumb of ass, pure of heart points lol. Hope you like it!

"Dean?" Castiel asked one day. "Can we talk?"
Dean's first response was to laugh, "What are you gonna dump me?" Castiel's face remained neutral, and Dean felt his heart speed up. "Are you dumping me?"
"No, I…" Castiel paused and cleared his throat. "Hold on."
Castiel turned and strode back across the room to his coat. He reached inside the pocket and awkwardly fished around until he found a folded square of paper. It was crumbled and the tattered edges were smoothed out as Castiel carefully unfolded it. Frowning, he paused and looked around. "Where's Benjamin?"
"He ran to the store. He'll be back soon." Dean said as knots tied in his stomach. "Cas. What's going on?"
"I have something to tell you." Castiel said again.
He folded the paper back up and placed it back inside the coat pocket. Once he was satisfied, he went back to the couch and sat down, perched on the edge of it as he waited. Try as Dean might, he couldn't get anything else out of him. So, he grabbed another beer from the fridge, and joined him.
Finally, Benny came home. As soon as Benny crossed the threshold, Dean looked at Castiel in anticipation and the routine started over. Castiel stood, strode across the room to his coat, and started to search for the paper in his pocket. Benny looked to Dean with a questioning expression, and Dena simply shrugged and waited patiently for Castiel to come sit back down.
Once the paper was unfolded (again), Castiel cleared his throat. His fingers worried the edges of the paper as he read,
"Dear Benjamin and Dean,
As you both know, I've been reflecting on myself. I've come to the conclusion that I'm agender.
Thank you,
Castiel."
Both of them stared at him for a moment. Thinking they hadn't heard correctly, Castiel started to reread it. Benny quickly stopped him, going over and putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Dude I heard you. Well… not dude." Dean corrected.
"'Dude' is fine," Castiel said.
"Right. Okay. So uh…" Dean looked at Benny. "Anything else?"
Castiel shook his head.
"Okay. You still wanna go by... everything or…?"
"It's fine." Castiel said. "I don't… mind my name or how you refer to me. I'm just…"
"Not a guy. Right." Dean said, nodding a bit. "Great."
"Great?"
Benny smiled and squeezed his shoulder. "Glad you figured it out. Takes time to. It took me a while to figure out I'm pan."
"You're pan?" Dean asked.
"...you didn't know?" Benny asked.
"No…" Dean said slowly. "How…long have you known…?"
"Couple years. Why don't you know?"
"I don't know! Why didn't you tell me?"
"I did."
They bickered back and forth and Castiel slowly smiled as the feeling of contentment and relief washed over him.
