Dean has a love of pop culture, women and having something to do and has a fear of flying. Under all of his goof-off and show-off façade, Dean has a deeper and more emotional side. He puts on a strong face for his brother as not to worry him. In actuality, he hurts quite a bit and has stronger and more real emotions than he shows. There is also a sense of denial in Dean, that at times he cannot handle his own emotions, so he plays off as a jerk and jokes about things. He had a fondness for children and probably would make a good father one day. PB: Jensen Ackles All you need is love?: ‘Yeah, MySpace, what the hell is that? Seriously, is that like some sort of porn site?’ - Dean, Supernatural (Season 2 Episode 8: Crossroad Blues)
Writing sample: Even if the road wasn’t as straight as everyone thought it would be, Dean always found something humorous in the dark hours. Well, as long as neither one of them were close to death. For now the road had been silent. Neither one had said anything to the other within the last two…maybe three hours. Dean couldn’t tell if Sam was angry at him or just tired.
Whatever it was, Sammy wasn’t sharing. Dean flicked on the radio, humming along with ‘One’ by Metallica and casting a look to Sam every now and again. There was something bitter on his face, mostly in the eyes and it didn’t suit Sam.
‘Ok, Sammy…what’s bothering you? Share and share alike,’ he said in a fairly light tone. ‘You tell me what’s bothering you and I’ll tell you what’s bothering me…sound good?’
After a moment’s pause with no sign of an answer, Dean prodded, ‘Did ya hear me? It’s time to share and care, Sammy. Out with it.’
