"dean is straight" you say. the same dean who had the biggest bi panic ever when dr sexy walked up to him? the dean who said part of what made dr sexy sexy was the cowboy boots? meaning he was actually into him and the boots were just one reason (so he has a cowboy thing too), and "part" means there was more that attracted him. the dean who got completely flustered when aaron fake-flirted and asked him out, the dean who never said he was straight, only that he was on a federal case, then walked off stuttering and bumping into a table from pure nerves? the dean who looked visibly bummed when he found out the guy didn’t actually want to go out with him? that’s your straight dean? y’all watched the show with your ass to the screen or what

“destiel is semi-canon or unrequited,” no, it isn't. i don't even need to list everything that proves it. i'll just focus on what happened after the confession. dean ignored sam's calls while knowing chuck was killing every single person on earth. he thought sam was going to die too. those calls were sam's last chance to talk to his brother. and yet dean ignored them. the brother he had put first his entire life. that behavior (ignoring sam while the world is ending) only makes sense if dean had just lost the love of his life. period. the lack of verbal reciprocation wasn't because dean didn't love cas back. he was stunned and terrified because cas was saying goodbye to him. during the confession, dean's eyes were filled with tears, and he broke down crying almost immediately after cas said "i love you." the very words dean had wanted to hear so badly but thought he could never hear. it's no wonder he ignored sam's calls. he had just discovered that the man he'd been in love with for years loved him back, only to lose him forever. and let's not forget what dean said in season 13, praying to chuck after losing cas: "we lost everything, and now you're gonna bring HIM back." canonically, dean called castiel his everything. if you disagree, take it up with the writer and showrunner, andrew dabb, who literally wrote that line into the episode. let's also not forget that "despair" (15x18) was literally about people losing the loves of their lives and being completely devastated by it. that can't be a coincidence. it was deliberately written to mirror dean losing cas at the end of the episode, further confirming that cas was the love of his life. period.
