Crowley watched on in sleepy amusement as Sam tried to squeeze the life out of Gabriel.
"We're not children, Bobby", Sam pouted. "We'll figure it out."
"Like hell!" Bobby snorted. "I'll tell ya what's gonna end up happening..."
Crowley snickered from his position curled up on Dean's chest. Bobby and Sam had been going at it for the better part of half an hour with Gabriel stuck in Sam's death grip.
"Please let it end", Gabriel whined, "Crowley! Do something!"
"I have no idea what you think I can do, mate.", Crowley mumbled. "Nip at Gigantor's toes?"
"I don't care! Just get him to unhand me!"
Crowley huffed in amusement before shifting slightly as Dean turned his head to take in the ongoing conversation.
"-then I'll be left to deal with them!", Bobby ranted. Sam's face was set in a frown as he cuddled the brown Chihuahua. It was really rather pathetic the way the tallest Winchester held on for dear life to an animal as big as one of his misshapen hands. Bobby gave glaring another shot, but it seemed like neither Winchester was budging and he finally threw his hands up with a sigh.
"Fine, ya idjits, keep em and see how that turns out for ya."
Dean snorted, causing Crowley to bounce and growl threateningly as he rearranged himself.
"Sam put the dog down before you crush it", Dean said as he settled back down on the couch and patted Crowley.
"Never thought I'd be saved from a crushing death by Dean Winchester", Gabriel scoffed as he skittered away into the lounge and looked up to where Crowley was lying.
"Tell me about it", Crowley snorted, "Embarrassing, isn't it?"
"Well, perhaps not as bad as letting said Winchester fondle me..." Gabriel snickered as Crowley glared down at him.
"Get bent, Angel" Crowley barked. "I let him pet me. It's an honour"
"Zeppelin!" Dean tapped Crowley on the nose. "No barking."
While Crowley spluttered in shocked rage, he could hear Gabriel laughing for all he was worth on the floor.
"Shut up!" Crowley launched off Dean's chest and landed on Gabriel just as he rolled over with laughter and proceeded to try inflicting as much damage as possible. Dean and Sam squawked in surprise and, before Crowley could cause any serious injuries, he was lifted and Dean held him against his chest.
"Bad!", Sam growled, glaring at Crowley while cuddling Gabriel.
"Oh bugger off, moose", Crowley muttered sulkily from Dean's restricting embrace. Dean laughed, received his own glare from Gigantor.
"Chill, Sam" Dean chuckled and lightened his grip, "I'm sure they were just playing"
"I hate you so very much right now" Gabriel wheezed from where he was being crushed in Sam's arms.
"Feeling's mutual, bastard" Crowley growled and huffed out a sigh. "Stay the hell away from me."
"Fine! Go be best buddies with your Master Winchester", Gabriel barked. Crowley didn't even dignify that with an answer. In fact, Crowley hoped Gigantor squeezed Gabriel till he popped.
"What are you gonna feed them?", Bobby called from the library. "I ain't got any dog food"
Oh, sweet Lucifer. There's no way he's going to ingest anything he can't identify. From 5 star chefs to Eukanuba?
No way in hell.
"We'll go into town", Dean shrugged.
"Get hoppin then. Pick up something for dinner, too"
"Yeah, yeah." Dean popped Crowley down on the couch before he grabbed his keys and ambled towards the door. Crowley jumped down from the couch and skittered after Dean, running right into Gabriel.
"Watch it!", Crowley snapped.
"You watch it!" Gabriel growled and bumped Crowley.
"Stop being such a child, Gabriel!" Crowley nipped Gabriel's flank and chuckled when the Archangel jumped.
"Be good, boys!" Sam called as he shut the door. Crowley barked in frustration.
