no but let's revisit this cause this is about why cas wasn't in spnwin and he gets so nervous and giddy when he's like "there's a reason for that" lol just let destiel kiss already
thinking about like season 5 dean slouched against the outside of some motel room with a cigarette drooping in his mouth and this is like pre-dark side of the moon so cas is still looking for god but there’s the rustle of wings and suddenly he’s there, under the flickering “O” of the neon “NO VACANCY” sign and dean doesn’t look up but he knows he’s there. and cas edges closer and OH!! it’s just after abandon all hope — dean is grieving and guilt-loaded and shaken.
and cas does that tracking walk toward him and dean lifts his head and takes a drag and before he can exhale, cas is too close and then he’s taking the cigarette from dean’s fingers. he looks at it, clearly curious, and then he brings it to his lips and inhales slow.
dean can’t look away from the flare of the cherry. maybe they talk a little bit about their mission. maybe they don’t.
cas exhales and when the smoke billows up over his head, there’s the negative space of his halo in it, but there are cracks and fissures so the smoke seeps through the shape of it.
the confession (jensen's version) | the night we met
"In my mind, I was sitting there thinking that... you know, it was like this flashback—you know they say that when you're about to die your life flashes before you. In my mind, I was flashing back to Lazarus Rising and seeing him walk through the barn with the sparks flying and all of the sudden all of these clips in my mind of Castiel and walking into the lake, and all of these things that are ingrained in my memory and seeing this now character have to say goodbye, but also knowing that my friend was in there having to struggle with this as well and I just thought he did such an artful job and such an incredibly nuanced performance in that moment that I was really proud of." x
