Bobby sighed as he listened to Dean rant over the phone. They had been hunting a demon and once they showed up to exercise it, it left. A cloud of smoke and it was gone.
"It can't be normal. Demons aren't scared of us. Something is going on Bobby!" Dean insisted.
"What does Sam have to say about this?" Bobby asked. His voice sounded calm and never wavered even as Crowley nipped at his neck. Bobby was sitting in his chair at his desk with a book on lore resting open. Crowley had come in with a plate of spaghetti for dinner. He put it down in front of Bobby and was waiting for praise on his perfect cooking when the phone rang. He resisted the urge to smash it and demand Bobby eat and be amazed by his awesome cooking. Bobby answered the phone and, much to Crowley's displeasure it was the two idiots Bobby practically raised. Knowing Bobby looked after the boys Crowley had ordered all his demons to lay off them. He listened in as Dean ranted and was tempted to show up in their dumpy apartment and lay out the facts. Crowley and Bobby were in a committed relationship. Crowley had his demons lay off because he loved his lover. Shut the fuck up and deal with your own problems. Instead he decided to try to get Bobby to hand up. He nipped at his neck, licked his earlobe, and even sat on his lap so they were face to face but nothing happened. Bobby didn't hang up or even show any signs that he noticed Crowley's efforts.
"Hey Bobby! Personally I think Dean is just freaking out over nothing. We should be happy the thing skipped town. It means some other hunter will have to deal with it so less work for us." Sam said over the phone. Bobby's eyes flickered to Crowley's face when Sam called the demon a thing but he seemed not to notice.
"Hey why don't you boys come down to visit me? We have some important stuff to talk about." Bobby said earning consent over the phone before clicking it off. He turned to Crowley who was pacing the living room floor.
"Eat your dinner. Praise me on my cooking." Crowley said simply as he stared at his hunter with an intense gaze. Bobby signed and began eating. He had to admit, not to Crowley, that it was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten.
"You did good." He said gruffly. Crowley broke into a grin and flopped down on Bobby's lap, wrapping his arms around Bobby's neck.
"You know it's the best meal you've ever eaten." Crowley insisted. Bobby looked down at the demon on his lap and took another bite watching the gleeful smile light up his face.
"Hello Bobby." Came a sudden voice from the middle of the room. Bobby sighed and shoved Crowley off his lap. The demon pouted but went back to the kitchen to begin washing the dishes.
"What do you want Cas?" Bobby asked gruffly as he picked up his book.
"I was with the boys. They said I should meet them here." Castiel said looking around the room airily.
"So I guess you saw that." Bobby said looking over the top of his book at Castiel.
"To what are you referring?" Castiel asked directing his penetrating blue stare on Bobby.
"Crowley and me." Bobby said sighing at Castiel's ignorance.
"I saw the two of you together. You seemed happy." Castiel responded simply.
"We're boyfriends Cas." Bobby said irritated at Castiel's slowness.
"I see." Castiel said simply. There was a long awkward silence while Bobby stared at Castiel and the angel looked around the room casually. "I am pleased you found happiness although your taste in men is questionable." The angel spoke at last.
"What do you mean by that feather head?" Crowley demanded poking his head around the door to glare at the angel who seemed oblivious to the hurt feelings.
"You are a demon. He is a hunter. He hunts demons." Castiel responded turning his gaze on Crowley's head. "In any case, congratulations." Castiel said before Crowley had a chance to say anything. He turned his stare on Bobby.
"Thanks Cas." Bobby said sighing. One down two to go.
The next day Dean and Sam arrived at the run down little house. Bobby had asked Castiel not to tell them of the relationship so that he could. Castiel consented.
"Boys, I have always thought of you as adopted sons. When your mom died I took on the position of supporting you and caring for you when your dad was busy. I guess you could say I'm your mom but I would prefer you didn't call me that." Bobby said as the boys sat on the couch looking at him as he sat in his chair.
"Where're you going with this?" Dean asked.
"How would you two feel about me dating?" Bobby asked hesitantly.
"You and dating never seems to work out honestly. What with the woodchopper and the axe and the whole hunter thing." Dean said honestly.
"Just be careful." Sam said trying to soften Dean's words.
"Well I'm in a relationship. Between us, I think he's the one." Bobby said smiling at their shock.
"Who?" Sam asked at the same time Dean asked "When?"
"Hello boys." Crowley said entering the room with a platter of food. It was breakfast time; the boys had driven all night. There were eggs, bacon, waffles, pancakes, sausage, French toast, omelets, milk and orange juice. He smiled as he put the tray of food down in front of them.
"Oh Fuck No!" Dean said backing away.
"What the hell?" Sam asked looking to Bobby for clarification.
"Crowley and I are boyfriends." Bobby said, his eyes yearning for them to understand.
"Come on Sam, it's time for us to go." Dean said grabbing his coat and heading to the door. Bobby bit his tongue and watched them leave.
"I'm sure they'll rethink it and see what I see." Castiel said before following them.
"Yah. I'm sure Cas's right. They'll come around." Bobby said more to convince himself than anything else. He looked at Crowley who was sporting a very displeased frown.
"Now all this food is going to go to waste." He mumbled irritably.
"I'm sure you can find some friends of yours that are interested." Bobby said sliding up to his lover. He put an arm around his waist and pecked him on the lips.
"I thought demon company was unwelcome." Crowley said raising an eyebrow.
"Well you're here aren't you?" Bobby said letting go and moving to the food. "And I'm fine s'long as they're not killin people."
"I'm sure I can invite a few." Crowley said moving to the phone. Soon there were four more demons in the house. Frank, Milton, Ari, and Maggie were all digging into the food. They seemed civilized enough, for now. Crowley came back into the room and pecked Bobby on the forehead.
"I have to go. Business." Crowley said and shot a glare to the demons before he disappeared.
"Daddy's finally out of the house." Milton said with an evil smile directed at Bobby.
"Now we don't have to be on our best behavior." Ari growled with a toothy grin.
"Mommy can't do anything to stop us." Maggie snarled as she moved closer to him.
"Be respectful." Frank said glaring at his friends in mock reprimand. "He is, after all, the queen of hell." He finished and the three burst out laughing.
"A human." Maggie said over her fit of giggles.
"A hunter." Ari growled though his laughter as they all moved closer.
"Bait." Milton snarled as he grabbed Bobby by the front of his shirt and dragged him to his feet.
"You see as our Queen, we were asked to give you company. We were not told to protect you. We were not told to take care of you." Frank said as if her were having a conversation with an old friend.
"Those boys of yours though, they're protected. King Crowley said not to touch them. They're off limits." Maggie said with a roll of her eyes.
"You on the other hand..." Milton snarled into Bobby's face. Suddenly they were in a convenience store. There were people milling around and then suddenly all seven people in the store turned to glare at him with black eyes. They all made their way over.
"These guys aren't under Crowley's thumb." Frank said smiling viciously.
"See, we ran out of food and you went out to the store to buy more. Some rogue demons roughed you up." Ari said smiling.
"We turned up just in time to save the life of our dearest queen." Milton said letting go of Bobby and stepping back as the new crowd of demons closed in on the gruff hunter. What they didn't know was that the entire time Bobby was praying to Cas. He asked him to get Crowley and get to him. Bobby only hoped the boys would let him come. He would just have to fend off the demons who looked close to foaming at the mouth for the chance to rough up the new "queen of hell" until help arrived.
"Where should we cut him first?" The cashier asked producing a knife.
"We should hit him some first." Another growled holding a wood bat.
"How about both at the same time boys?" The girl said smiling as she grabbed Bobby's head and leaned him back to give them better access. She held him in a choke hold as the nails on her other hand dug into his throat. It was tight enough to restrict movement but loose enough for him to breath. He decided an elbow to the ribs would be a good start at fending them off. He smashed an elbow into her delicate ribs cracking at least three. She cackled and backed away. "Feisty." She remarked mockingly.
"Is that a requirement for the queen of hell position?" The demon with the knife asked condescendingly.
"I think the face fuzz is part of it." Another said.
"I've always found beards to be a bit of a turn off." The woman said.
"Let's start here." The demon with the knife said as he slashed at Bobby's arm. It cut the fabric of his coat easily and pierced flesh. Bobby grunted as blood began soaking his arm and dripping from his hand.
"You ruined my favorite jacket." Bobby stated calmly, he had suffered much worse.
"Swing batter batter swing!" The demon with the bat made a swing at Bobby's other arm but the wood was stopped short by a hand. Bobby traced the hand up to a perfectly hemmed sleeve of a black blazer. He continued up until his eyes happened upon dark hair and the pale flesh of his neck. He watched as Castiel and Crowley took out the demons as if they were ants being crushed under a boot.
"Is that all?" Castiel asked turning to Bobby as the body of the last demon crumpled to the ground.
"Yeah sorry bout this Cas. If I had something, anything I could'a taken them but without anything to use as a weapon..." Bobby trailed off angry at himself for being so helpless. "Shoulda salted their food." He remarked disdainfully.
"Let's go home." Crowley said lacing his hand into Bobby's and the two were gone. Castiel really hoped that Dean and Sam would see the love they shared and accept it. With one last glance around at the bodies he too was gone.
"I hate that." Bobby snarled back at his house. He wanted to punch something but that was a stupid response to frustration.
"Helplessness?" Crowley asked hesitantly.
"Yeah." Bobby said sighing. He needed to let go of this anger but somehow he couldn't. He felt so stupid for letting them in his home, for allowing this to happen. "Sorry to call you away from business."
"It was wrapping up anyways." Crowley said remembering the torture he was inflicting on the demon when the angel showed up. He had been making an example, follow orders but don't be obvious about it and don't be stupid about it. He was making known the mistake the lowly demon made by fleeing from the Winchester boys.
"They called me the queen of hell." Bobby said more to himself than to Crowley.
"I think that we should-" Crowley began before being interrupted by Bobby.
"Can I have some time alone?" Bobby asked looking at Crowley pleadingly.
"Of course love." Crowley said and with one last glance at Bobby he was gone.
Bobby replaced all the traps around the house. Angel wards along with demon traps. There was something for everything and anything. Then he cleaned up the plates left from the demons. After all that was clear he was about so sew up the cut on his arm when phone rang.
"Hey is this Bobby?" A masculine voice asked.
"Depends on who's asking." Bobby responded.
"We're here at the roadhouse listening to some interesting things bout you." The voice responded.
"And I give a shit why?" Bobby said gruffly.
"We want you to come down here and prove yourself." The male voice responded before the phone was clicked off. Bobby, being a hunter, knew it was a trap. He also knew they would know he knew it was a trap. After some internal debate he decided he had to go. He packed up some stuff and began the long drive out there.
