Honestly, his "you're family" to Kevin sounded just like his "you're family" to Cas last season when Cas was mind-controlled into bashing his face in :/
As in, "you're family because I need something from you" but then as soon as you piss me off, I'm gonna cold shoulder you until you can't take it anymore and run off straight into the clutches of the bad guys :/ *sigh*
That's *slightly* extreme, and I do think Dean cares about Cas, and even about Kevin. Still, he *does* have this tendency to use and manipulate people, and then forget about them when they're the ones needing help (unless they're Sam). Kevin's all traumatized in the beginning of this episode, and Dean just kind of blows it off, and therefore we get the mess at the *end* of the episode with Kevin about to flee :( Even after his speech to Kevin, Dean seems flippant about it: "He's a strong kid, he'll be fine"
Just like he's assuming Cas will be fine, on this long road trip on his own. Sam seemed more concerned than Dean was, and really surprised by that.
I wasn't :/ *sigh*
Don't get me wrong, I ADORE Dean with all his issues and there are reasons for this... he never got the affirmation and support he needed as a child, doesn't really know *how* to give it like he probably wishes he could... still, it gets frustrating :/ *sigh* lol
