Castiel’s first instinct is to cover Dean and protect him from the glass, which isn’t a big shock to us. What’s really surprising is how Dean’s first instinct is to just go with it and let Castiel protect him, which is a big deal. Dean isn’t the kind of guy to admit that he needs protection or help. He’s stubborn and likes to do things on his own. So when Dean admits that he needs your help it’s a big deal. Sure Dean doesn’t turn to Castiel when the glass is about to blow and say, “Hey can you protect me from Raphael because the guy is a son of a bitch and I have a feeling he’ll try to pull something.” But the fact that Dean leans into Castiel and lets him cover him means an awful lot.
No one’s gonna hurt you,
No one’s gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I’ll be there.
I’ve never been too proud to sin.
Why don’t you rub my face in it?
»For some reason, I can’t help but think that Cas still has a little part of him that can read minds. Maybe it’s just a little sliver that lets him feel raw emotions radiating off the bodies that surrounds him, or just clues him in, like a little nudge.
Either way, I think he still had it then and he followed Dean right into the fire, knowing exactly what was going to happen. Because Dean thought he was going to die, and really…they only had each other, so why fight anymore?«
