(This is the thing about Dean. He’s fine—or at least he can pretend to be—until he actually has to express himself. That’s when he falls to pieces. That’s when Cas’s heart breaks; as he watches Dean struggle to hold himself together enough to simply put six words together without choking on his own vulnerability.)
