[Even if Boots can't quite get himself off the ground yet, his wings are hardly harmless. They're far enough away that it doesn't make a different at the moment, but a strong flap with those wings could easily knock one of them over.
Not that Boots would ever intentionally hurt them. Ever since that incident with Castiel's hand getting burned (and he still has a nasty scar from that, covering his palm), Boots has been as gentle as possible. Sometimes he still doesn't know his own strength, though.
Honestly, Castiel's comfortable where he's standing next to Dean, as it is cold out and body warmth is helping to keep him from shivering.
But then Boots starts bounding back toward them, wings flapping and looking even more excitable than usual. Castiel shoots Dean a weary look before stepping forward and crouching down to brace for Boots' tackle.]
