I always thought both of them were jerks to each other in S6. Cas buried his humanity and became a dick with wings, just like his siblings, and Dean used Cas and acted like a stubborn idiot sometimes. Neither of which is surprising. Cas has only learned about "humanity" from the Winchesters, and when he was observing them, Dean and Sam were going through their roughest time, ever. So not only did he learn some shitty ways to treat people you "care about" from them, he also had his ingrained angel dickishness. And, honestly, there's nobody to tell him what's right and wrong, especially in S6, because he again sees himself as better than Dean and no longer relates to Dean's cause. He really does act like a child, which isn't all that surprising. Also, he fucking hurt Sam. People have died from doing that. But, yeah. I mean, no relationship on this show is perfect by a long shot, but it is kinda interesting how a lot of people seem to set up Cas as the one who's long-suffering of Dean's problem, when, in reality, they're both pretty pissy to each other. As much as I love their...unique relationship, I don't want all Cas' wrongdoings to be glossed over. I read a pretty awesome 'verse that went AU after 6x21 where Cas became blind after loosing the souls, but Dean couldn't forgive him for, like, a year and a half, and even then, it wasn't instant or anything and it took Cas getting into some serious trouble before Dean would even see him. That's the kinda thing I want. I do want redemption, because I can't help it, I like all the boys and I want them all happy and at least willing to talk to each other, but I don't want it easy.
Though, with Dean's emotional state, I can see it going either way, a) Dean's just too burnt out to hold a grudge and he just doesn't care anymore, and even what Cas did can't isn't enough to break him outta it (which is possible, but I hope by the time they bring him back Dean's over this funk), or b) Dean being furious and unwilling to forgive Cas. For a long time, at least.
I totally didn't know all the feelings I had on the subject 'till now. I guess I know why it always bugs me in fic/meta when it's all "CAS DIED FOR DEAN AND DEAN WAS AN ASS TO HIM SO DEAN NEEDS TO FUCKING APOLOGIZE ALREADY"
