"So. Now that the attack dogs are gone..." Crowley started, "Can we finally get down to business?"
Castiel glared, "What do you want Crowley?"
The demon grinned. "I want to be the first demon to... 'escort' an angel to hell you could say."
The trio was silent for a moment, Castiel exchanging disturbed glances with his brother. He turned back to Crowley, his face grim and hesitant, "You want to take one of us to hell then?"
He shrugged, "Preferably both of you, but you know, one will do. So basically, with Gabriel rugged up on demon type-A, he'll be sent down to me when he dies." Crowley grinned at them, "So, I'll take Gabriel down with me or..."
"Or?" Gabriel furrowed his brow.
"Or... I take the Winchester's favorite angel with me." he sang, "The angel that devoured all of Purgatory, who took down platoon after platoon of angelic soldiers all by himself. Oh, baby you're the sweet cherry on the top of the whipped cream." He was at the edge of the circle, making erotic faces towards Cas. "I'd take you over this petty fool any day."
Gabriel, the usual comedy relief, was serious as stone. Glaring at Crowley, "There's no way you're taking my baby brother you arrogant dick."
Crowley just smiled sadistically before turning back to Cas, "You wouldn't want to damn your brother would you?"
"Cas..."
"You wouldn't want to upset not only him, but Sam? I mean... losing his lover..."
"Cas."
"Even Dean doesn't want you! Sam and Gabriel are involved, happy, you're alone and not worth the air you breathe!"
"Cas!"
The demon smirked, "Cut the circle and lets make a deal, make yourself helpful."
Gabriel was to the point of flailing his arms. "Cas, no way in hell are you-"
A finger to the forehead, and Gabriel was gone. Popped right up next to Dean and Sam, still flinging his limbs about and screaming at the top of his lungs. "Cas!-" When Sam finally wrapped his arms around him, he was starting to shed tears.
"Alright." Castiel turned to Crowley, who pointed to the devil's trap. "You'll give Gabriel his grace back?"
"Exactly the way I found it."
"Fine." The angel knelt down, licking his finger lightly.
"Well now," the demon teased, "A bit sensual for the first time don't you think?"
Castiel rubbed the line with his thumb, smearing the paint. Crowley was before him in an instant, smirking with glee. "So then," he grinned, "Shall we seal it with a passionate kiss?"
