Fin

[sauntereddownward]

Things were going swimmingly with Aziraphale. The things he'd learned from Fin about feelings had helped to ease his discomfort in this troubling time. The counsel had helped so much that Crowley felt uncharacteristically grateful.

He should do something. That's what humans did. He could get Fin a gift.

Yes, he decided, a gift.

Crowley knocked on Fin's door, having sauntered right into the building and into the lift as if there wasn't any reason he shouldn't. He simply headed straight for the door, knocked, then waited. It would be terribly rude to try to walk right in.

"No, we best not," Fin smiled.

Luna began to fuss a bit, reaching for her dad, and the fae leaned over to take her back, bouncing her lightly on his knee.

"So, are you and your lover living together?" he asked curiously.

[sauntereddownward]

"Sort...of?" Crowley answered. "We're looking for a place together, because neither of us likes the other's place. But it seems Aziraphale sleeps in my bed."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"You two will figure it all out," Fin promised.

[sauntereddownward]

"I fear we two may both be too set in our ways," he said. Luna kicked her foot and Crowley lightly caught her toe and gave it a wiggle. "We do have plenty of time to work it out now, though."

"True, you have all the time in the world," Fin smiled. "What do you want though? Just you, personally? What's your dream scenario, Crowley?"

[sauntereddownward]

"I tend not to think that far ahead. People always undo my plans if I try too hard," he admitted, basically saying that at his core he was fundamentally lazy.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Not asking you to plan, just wondering what demons daydream about when they're in love," Fin shrugged.

[sauntereddownward]

"Sushi," he replied simply. "And wine. And books."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Sushi?" Fin asked, bouncing Luna when she started to fuss again.

[sauntereddownward]

"You know, the fish and rice things," he said, sure Fin couldn't be so stupid as to not know what sushi was. "Aziraphale thinks it's nice so we have it often."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I know what sushi is, Crowley. I just didn't understand why you'd daydream about it," Fin replied.

[sauntereddownward]

Crowley was silent for a moment, choosing his words carefully.

"All the things I enjoy the most, I enjoy because they make him happy."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"That's sweet," Fin smiled. "Really, Crowley."

[sauntereddownward]

Crowley wrinkled his nose.

"I'll kindly thank you to never say that to anyone else as long as you live," he replied.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Your secret's safe with me," Fin promised with a grin.

[sauntereddownward]

"Reassuring," the demon said. He leaned in and booped Luna's nose one more time, then got to his feet. "Don't expect another gift," he said then. "I think our deal is square."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Leaving already?" Fin asked, picking up Luna to see Crowley out.

[sauntereddownward]

"I need to," he said. "The world's going to Hell and someone has to drive."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"You're weird," Fin laughed. "We'll see you out though, wont we Luna?"

Luna gurgled and squealed.

[sauntereddownward]

The babe did bring a smile to Crowley's face. He opened the door and turned to the pair.

"You be very good for your daddy," he told Luna, then bent and kissed her soft hair. He looked at Fin then and his smile faded. "I'm not kissing you," he told him, then ducked out the door.
