Author's Note:
Forever and forever ago, Susangel requested this deleted scene from May Angels Lead You In. Su, I am so sorry I never posted it before now, and also that it's so short, but I didn't really know how to make it any longer. Randomness, yeah, I know.
The conversation (from chapter 28 of MALYI) that inspired the scene:
"We really need to get that stick out of your ass, mate."
"I do not understand that reference."
He laughed quietly. "When we finally kill the Mother, we have really got to work on you. I think you could do with a glass of Craig and some decent modern entertainment."
"I have no desire to bond with an Abomination."
"Hate to break it to you, but I think at some point we already have."
"I still do not understand the purpose of this," Castiel sighed as Crowley handed him a glass of Craig.
"You need to learn some pop culture references," the demon replied.
"Why?"
"Because I said so."
The angel sighed and situated himself on the large couch, taking a hesitant sip of the Scottish liquor. It wasn't nearly as bad as he'd been expecting. Crowley looked through the DVDs lining one of the massive shelves as Cas made himself at home. He was surprised at how at home he felt in the home of a demon.
"Ever seen Seven?"
"Seven what?" Castiel asked.
"The movie is called Seven, you dimwitted twit," Crowley said.
"I have not yet seen that film."
"Alright then, we have a winner," he said, sliding the disc into the elaborate player before joining Castiel on the couch.
Occasionally Cas would drop a small bit of commentary on how the seven deadly sins were portrayed, sometimes a critique and sometimes a compliment, but overall, the angel enjoyed the movie. They ended up in an array of different positions. Once they were sitting next to each other with their shoulders lightly touching, and once Cas rested his head on Crowley's leg while telling a genuinely interesting story of how the seven deadly sins were actually created. Surprisingly they were completely comfortable around each other.
Castiel also found that Morgan Freeman was a brilliant actor, because after Seven went off they proceeded to watch Kiss The Girls and Along Came a Spider. The two of them stayed up long into the night watching movies, bonding even though they should by all means be trying to rip each other's throats out.
"So, what do you want to watch now?" Crowley asked as another movie went off.
When silent air was his reply, he looked down to see Cas asleep against his shoulder, his breathing deep and even. Crowley smiled and made no move to take the angel off of him. At some point Castiel had become as much of a surrogate little brother to Crowley as he was to the Winchesters. And for some reason Cas had a cuddling fetish, but the demon didn't really mind all that much.
For a cloud fluffing sissy, turns out Castiel wasn't so bad after all.
