Notice: Romantic/hero music starts up when Cas and Dean see each other. Hugs with Jack, but no hugs for Cas. Silence for Cas and Dean, except for the music. Which ends when Dean leaves. The music speaks when Dean and Cas can’t.

Yep… I mean not only was Dean jarringly caught off guard by the absolute hive of activity in what he thought of as his own personal living room, you know? Like… ALL THESE PEOPLE? 

I think if they weren’t there, if Dean hadn’t felt so wrong-footed in his own home there, that reunion could’ve gone a little differently.

But even when they were packing to leave on the hunt, Cas was just… packing a bag alongside Dean like they were back to business as usual, and that just… :’)

That said SO MUCH to me, that there was just no longer even a question of whether or not Cas would hunt with them. And honestly I AM GLAD for exactly how everything has played out.

Because even if Cas had gone with them, he would’ve been in the back seat, you know? All that conversation with Sam? Sure he got some of those answers he was looking for about how Dean’s really doing, but I’m glad Cas wasn’t a literal back seat passenger for that talk, because Cas deserves to have that one face to face, you know?

Not only that but the space where they should have hugged was so idk if emotional is the word but… Like they just clearly had this silent convo like, yeah we can’t have our moment right now because we’re in “public” but we both know how we feel.

It was so personal and somehow intimate considering they never touched.

THERE WAS A VOID THERE. There was that silent moment and that chasm of space with the pillar dividing it keeping them apart. And yet, Jack and Sam stayed silent through that moment too…

Okay but Dean and Cas DIDN’T hug!! 

like my mom and aunt both wondered out loud why not??

I did too. Because Jack got a hug, presumably Sam did off screen. Then Jody got a hug. 

and well Dean and Cas should have hugged. So what happened to make Dean  not go for it…  and then be so eager to leave Cas behind???

I am eager for more of this!
