I know I watched the show for 3 years with no ship, so why I'm working myself up ahead of time, when I can pretty much just live in the past anyway...I dunno. It's just one of those things.
Possibly because he's a 13-year-old in the body of a 40something Air Force pilot.
And Dean is older than that? I have no problem with him being an eyeroller either. I mean, he's gotta have something to do while Sam bitchfaces. Which, it would be nice to see another way to put it, never mind the fanon adoption of a numbered catalogue of bitchfaces.

Seriously, what is with that?
And it's not so much the eye-rolling as it is the giggling and squealing.
Actually, Dean does strike me as considerably more mature than Sheppard. He cracks wise a lot and takes a lot of pleasure in pop culture (a trait that reads as young even if lots of older people do the same), but he doesn't seem as inherently childish.

Luckily I've been spared those fics to date.

I admit I could have been paying more attention to SGA, but Sheppard only strikes me as young in the same way as Dean, or maybe Colonel O'Neill. As in, not when the pedal hits the metal. Just hoyish. Not particularly immature.
It's probably entirely sexist of me, but it makes me shudder whenever men in fic are described as giggling.
Drunk, stoned, or startled, they can giggle. Otherwise? NSM.
Childish: Tony DiNozzo. The SG guys, not as much.
My God Mrs. Ackles is fit.
Mr. Ackles is no slouch, either. He looks so adorable when he's not!Dean.

Yeah, I'll give you that. Although I might limit it to the first two.
Yeah, I've gotten to the point where all the constant eyerolling in fic is bothering me, as blue collar guys don't often show exasperation that way in my experience, in contrast to sarcastic teens and women with humanities degrees.
Sam's an eyeroller. Dean, not so much. He does more of the raised brow are-you-kidding-me face.
I've also read a lot of "he made a gagging noise" as either brother mocks the other, which always sends me to that scene in The Goonies with Chunk telling his story about the movie theatre. Needless to say, it pulls me right out of the story.
