I mean.
I just want to put this out there:
By accepting Sam’s declaration that there would be no new King of Hell and by not challenging it, the demons acknowledged his authority. Sam may not be the king of Hell in name, but the hand-selected followers of the most recent contender to the throne literally would not dare to face him and fight for it.
Sam is, unofficially, the Actual Ruler of Hell.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

If it meant saving Dean, I’d work with anyone. I’d do anything.
There will be no new King of Hell. Not today. Not ever. […And if anyone wants the job,] they can come through me.
From my 9 year old daughter: Sam should have said HAHA QUIT STABBING YOURSELF STUPID right then,
Sam’s tearful confession to Mary of the things he fears Dean might be experiencing is all the more poignant because Sam has experienced both possession by and the wrath of archangels. He knows probably better than any living being—human or otherwise—what Dean might be going through.
Just FYI: I AM GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT MICHAEL SAYING LOVE FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT I CANNOT HELP IT I AM OVERWHELMED
Anael: Why would Dean say yes?
Michael: Love.
FUNNY THAT’S THE SAME REASON HE SAID NO IN SEASON 5: HIS LOVE FOR SAM.

LOVE
this is gonna be a real stupid question but i stopped watching spn a long time ago and where did dean go?
He let himself be possessed by an AU version of Michael to save Sam at the end of last season. Of course Michael double crossed him, took control, and took off with Dean’s vessel.
Sam: I’m good. No, really. I’m good. Soooo good.
*narrator’s voice*: HE WAS NOT GOOD.
