Hi! I wanted to ask you a few questions about 91w since I can't ask the author and you've just finished reading the story.
Spoilers for the people who haven't read "91 whiskey"
How do you think did I get it correctly that Cas wanted to see how Dean would look with a hairstyle from the photograph in the sophomore year?
"Cas kisses him again, kisses him harder. His fingers sweep into Dean’s hair—and then tighten into fists, pulling upwards and—
“Hey!”
“Please,” Cas says. “Just for a moment—just let me see what it would—”
“No way. No way! Get off. Hey—quit it. I swear to—”"
And I didn't get about Cas' job. In the second part when this thing happened with the interviewer:"“Disagreements, huh?”
Castiel opens his mouth, but finds the words struggling soundlessly in his throat. He swallows, tries again.
“He wouldn’t say what the disagreement was, exactly,” the interviewer says. “You mind filling me in?”
Did Cas panic and left because he had to talk about his time in the army? His previous job was it, right? Or maybe it was about smth else that wasn't in the story...
aahhh thanks for asking <33 thanks for giving me a reason to talk about it more since i apparently can't shut up about this fic lol
so the first question, yeah you got that right! cas tried to part dean's hair in the middle like dean had it in the high school picture! so the pulling upwards thing cas does, i think, is that he takes the ends and try to make them flick up, like doorhandles as komodobits describes it.
the second one, about the disagreement at work. my initial thought was that it was about his ptsd. but then i talked with my sis a bit (who hasn't read 91w, but has heard enough about it for a lifetime haha) and she suggested that it was because cas is queer. which makes a lot of sense. idk how usual it was to directly out a queer person back in 53, but it seems likely that cas being queer was spoken about as a "disagreement" between him and his previous workplace. and the previous boss is warning the interviewer about who cas really is.
if anyone thought something else, please share <3 im actually wondering about the last one too. and if you have more questions, feel free to ask! <33
