Stairway to Heaven: 9x22

in which Castiel chooses Dean over his entire army of angels

*p.s: considering how little emotion Dean showed this entire episode, I feel like the last gif has so much emotion in it.

That right there is revelation for Dean. That is Cas sacrificing, Cas losing, Cas shouldering consequences, not just for what he’s done but for DEAN.

This is his best friend, who he abandoned to the mortal world to live alone, who took back grace that is likely killing him after repeated attacks on his person, not only to protect himself but to get Dean vital information.

this is Cas, who pulled Dean out of hell. Who helped him save the world. who he’s yelled at, fought with, and condemned. This is the Angel who saw the Mark of Cain on his arm and still embrace him with arms open the next time they met.

This is Cas. Who loves Dean. Who has forgiven him. Who chose him above anything else and will keep choosing him.

This is Dean getting schooled on unconditional love, and reeling from the impact of the lesson.
