take the initiative (when he doesn’t, cas does and leans in slightly further till there’s about an inch between them, pausing to ask “is this okay?” before leaning in and sealing their lips together for a few seconds after dean gives him a slightly shaky nod) and afterwards dean huffs a laugh and when cas tilts his head and looks at him quizzically, all dean can say is “i didn’t see the evening turning out like this” and then laughing again at the dawning comprehension on cas’ face (pt 2/2)

yes oh god please give this to me

and flash forward a few weeks from that. dean and cas could either be still dancing around the issue and just being super flirty or they started dating. either way, cas and dean both have excuses to drop in on the other’s classroom for some reason. sometimes it’s a “i ran out of staplers. could i borrow yours?” other times it’s “i broke my blackboard eraser. do you have a spare one?”

the students are starting to notice something going on. actually, everyone’s starting to notice the undeniable chemistry stirring between the america lit professor and the religious studies professor
