#he'd grip his hands and squeeze em and talk in a really high-pitched frantic voice and just flutter around trying to fix the problem

i don't know if any of you know this, but dean would absolutely go into full crisis mode if cas cried. like, im talking, the waterworks and trembling chin and not the happy kind of tears but the deep, achy ones that he can't hold back. after the initial frozen moment, dean would be a wreck instantly. a burst of motion and, "no, no, don't do that. please don't do that. come on, man, please don't cry," and half-panicking and half-soothing, or trying to. all reservations dean has would be swept away by cas' tears in a heartbeat. he'd throw it all out the window and touch cas all over, rubbing his shoulders, holding his hands, shamelessly begging cas to stop. he'd be so lost too, like dammit what do i do, who do i fight, how can i make sure this literally never happens again? he'd be like one of those husbands who can get into a screaming match with their spouses until their spouse breaks down into tears, and then the husband is like, ok ok ok i take it all back, you win, please stop, for the love of god please stop, do you want tea, hm? you wanna lay down and cuddle? im sorry, im awful, what do you want? you can have whatever you—
#so basically what im saying is if cas had literally cried in the midst of sorrow anywhere between s4-15 destiel woulda been canon sooner#like. not even necessarily out of manipulation reasons either.#dean would just see cas upset and crying and be like: hm. do not like this. will burn the world down to keep it from ever happening again#cas obviously isnt a huge crier. but just imagine for a second that he had actually broken down and started crying in one of their arguments#like he never would bc he's pissed more often than he's not and he's not an angry crier (like dean lowkey is)#but if he DID dean would have freaked the fuck out immediately#mans would have stumbled over himself so hard to make it stop#and he would have felt awful and shitty and hated himself more too obviously but like.#initially he'd be like: oh jesus christ cas. fuck im sorry. please don't do that. that's not fair please don't—#and dear god if someone ELSE made cas cry. Local Deranged Man Shoots Someone For Making His Spouse Cry—literal headline#im just saying that dean is like. he's a caretaker at the heart of himself. he soothes.#he tells jokes to his little brother to take the sting out of patching up his boo-boos. he tries to feed people he loves and make em laugh#like. he's a caretaker. he wants to be soothing. he wants to be warm and home and never cause pain (and hates himself for doing it so often)#so cas + tears would just send him into crisis mode immediately. he'd bend over backwards to make it better#i just think if cas had cried in like. s12 maybe. just randomly or whatever. dean would have been like#ok ok ok what's wrong come here what can i do what do you want you can have anything you want#like that man is WEAK for cas on a good day. on a day that cas cries??? ajaksks dean would hit his knees fuckin PLEADING for him to stop#he'd grip his hands and squeeze em and talk in a really high-pitched frantic voice and just flutter around trying to fix the problem#im saying that cas only getting to cry in joy in frony of dean—which is DIFFERENT—is a crime actually#gruff dean mindlessly rubbing his hands up and down cas' arms. kinda just holding him and cracking jokes to try and get him to laugh#or jesus. dont imagine cas crying during the divorce arc bc Angry Dean Winchester would have been...#oh he would have been soooo mad oh my god.#like: come the fuck on. cut that shit out. seriously cas just fucking—just stop it. just. cas just. goddAMMIT#or worse. cas crying when they like had their unofficial breakup and he was like. oh im gonna leave and dean was silent#you bet your sweet ass that dean would have opened his mouth then. probably out of anger still. but he would have still told him to stop#bc that man is weak and Cannot handle it#spn rewrite where cas is a crier. dean's whipped by his tears. they're still not dating but dean folds like a lawnchair every time cas cries#anyways. this may or may not be bc of a fic im writing. not very many ppl write cas crying and i know why. but it's founded this time#destiel#sobs says things
