Sal and Dean

Dean Moriarity is truly the holy con man. His crimes never once have been malicious in intent, because he has not an evil bone in his body. when it comes down to his core, Dean is a child, unwilling to harm anyone, even though he does so so very often by mistake. His mind does not work in the way it is supposed to, it flys, unrestricted across taboos and laws. Sal is merely an observer, flying along in Dean's trail, because he is happy to be along for the ride. in so many ways, the two complete each other, and neither of the duo have any distance they would not go for the other. when dean is stealing or driving or tripping, Sal never stops him, because he trusts him with his life.
