Erotically Profound Dependency

wordsinhaled:

oh, omg, anonnnn don’t get me started

let me try to remember some

(I guess I sort of live in a happy universe in my head where they are as mushily settled in with each other as they can be while still being in character… but I don’t necessarily see any of these headcanons as AU so IDEK)

also, sorry if these are incoherent because it’s like 5am omg

• clothesharing. ALL THE CLOTHESHARING. because Sam likes seeing Dean and Cas wear his clothes, okay, you cannot convince me otherwise. (it pretty much already happened with Dean, considering how closely he & Sam’ve always shared space, but with Cas it just… falls into place). he ends up with mostly Dean’s clothes because they’re closest in size, but he borrows Sam’s buttondowns and jackets and has to roll up the sleeves 
• when Cas first starts needing to sleep he keeps forgetting to do it, because he never needed to before, and basically unless Sam ‘n’ Dean remind him to sleep he’ll just… insist he doesn’t need to, and run himself into the ground until he crashes? so they’ll be like “Cas, you need to sleep,” and he’ll be like “NO, really, I’m fine.” and then they’ll drag him to bed with them under the pretense of “well, we need to sleep” and cuddle on either side of him until he gives in to his tiredness 
• CUDDLES! Sam tends to be the big spoon because obviously he is huge and can wrap around everybody, but sometimes it varies, sometimes Cas is in the middle and sometimes Dean is in the middle—mostly they just cuddle every which way
• Cas has trouble actually falling asleep so he talks about things—he just can’t settle down and rambles… about what’s going on in Heaven, or the next stage in their plans, or what he thinks could help Sam and Dean on the hunt, etc. Sam humors him so they talk quietly as they’re falling asleep, and Dean’s like OMG GUYS WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY, except goodnaturedly
• spontaneous makeouts??? morning sex 
• IN THE SAME VEIN AS CLOTHES-SHARING: one time they went clothes-shopping with Castiel just after he started falling because Dean was like “you need some new clothes, dude. the trench is great but so is variety!” except it went terribly because Cas said something really blunt to one of the store employees and she had a fit and quit her job and after that they decided clothes-sharing was just the best option
• when Sam or Dean is having a nightmare, Cas soothes their sleep. he just sort of… touches their cheeks, and they stop thrashing or sleep-talking. he still keeps doing it, even when technically he’s getting low on mojo—even though Sam would give him a LOOK for ‘wasting’ it on calming them and Dean would be like “c’mon, Cas, they’re just nightmares”—because at least they’re sleeping
• also sometimes he sings to them in Enochian, like… in the middle of the night… he wasn’t ever one of the angels whose forte was singing or anything, but it just ends up devolving to this gravelly sort of humming, IDEK
• so when it comes to takeout, to figure out what kind of Chinese food Cas likes (he would just order whatever they were ordering at first), Sam and Dean just kind of order ALL THE FOOD and share all of it on one of the motel beds and then they go into a Chinese food coma and two hours later Castiel is like, “how is it possible that I’m hungry?” and Sam is like “that’s normal” and Dean’s like “NBD THERE ARE LEFTOVERS” and they just lounge around eating leftovers
• Dean teaches Castiel how to drive (at first disastrous, eventually passably successful); Sam teaches Castiel how to use a laptop
• and they end up on NASA’s Picture of the Day website and Castiel gets really sentimental about the nebulas and things because when an angel dies they become a part of space (a constellation or a new star or a nebula or something) so he recognizes them 
• Sam radiates heat like a fucking furnace so Cas ends up leaching heat off him a lot when he starts needing to regulate his own body temperature when his mojo is gone (Dean does this too and they’re both like SAM YOU ARE A SPACE HEATER)
• spreading the trenchcoat out as a blanket 
• introducing Castiel to music (Dean tries to get him into Metallica and Zeppelin and Aerosmith and Sam thinks he would prefer classical and then it turns out Cas actually likes random easy listening radio stations or talk shows or something best, because they’re easy to turn into white noise subconsciously, to substitute how he always used to hear his family talking in the background)
• all the feels about them celebrating Christmas together that I described in this post
