Drabble: Sentimental

[ellerkay]

Title: Sentimental
Pairing: None, OR, if you have your slash goggles on, unrequited Crowley/Castiel
Characters: Crowley, Castiel
Rating: G
Genre: Angst, bit of humor
Word Count: 100
Disclaimer: All for fun, none for profit.
Summary: Crowley definitely has no affection for Castiel, he is just pragmatic as always, la la la la he can't hear you.
Prompt: Inspired by spn_bigpretzel Drabbles Every Weekend - Character: Crowley; Theme: FEELINGS (it ended up not really being lighthearted enough to be in the spirit of the pretzel, I felt, so I didn't post it to the comm).
A/N: Set in the same universe as my previous drabble, Tainted By Humanity. I love Crowley's feelings for TFW, not gonna lie. This takes place during season 10 episode 3, "Soul Survivor," with some dialogue lifted from the episode.

Read on AO3


***

Crowley absolutely did not feel things for the Winchesters. Even less so for their pet angel. He’d learned after the Purgatory debacle that Good Omens had lied to him about how fun a demon/angel team-up would be.

He looked at Castiel on the ground, bloodied and burning out. He sighed, feeling that ache in his chest which had never totally disappeared, even after he’d kicked human blood.

“Why did you help me?” Castiel asked, after Crowley had fed him the other angel’s grace.

“Purely business,” Crowley told him. “I’m not sentimental.” He walked away.

If only that were true.

A/N: I didn't have room to put it in the drabble, but can we talk about Crowley legit cradling Castiel's head in his lap as he feeds him grace? Boy has it bad.

Oh man, what good timing. Were you inspired by raloria's screencap quiz by any chance? I just reread my review of the ep and was reminded of that scene 😆

No, but it was crazy timing!! I saw that cap and knew immediately what it was from because I'd just been watching scenes from that episode a day or two before. :D

Aw, Crowley does have it bad for Feathers! You should post it on the comm, it may not be lighthearted but it is sweet!

Oh, well if a MOD says it's okay than I must be safe!! Thanks for letting me know, I'll put it up and tell people I got permission. ;)

I'm glad you thought it was sweet! Oh, Crowley. You and your FEELINGS XD

I'm sure it's within the scope of the comm, and that darker stuff has been posted in the past so I'm pleased you are going to share it on there!
