Crowley had been busy. He'd had a rather dastardly idea and with a bit of proper nudging of 'influencers' (whatever those were) and a quick trip to Reddit, he had a new viral sensation. It was sort of like the ice bucket challenge, except it didn't benefit any charities and instead involved putting hot sauce up the nose. It worried parents, caused a bit of harmless mayhem, and most of all...it tarnished the souls of all those who laughed at idiots' misfortunes.

Sure, it wasn't tempting a priest, but it was a laugh.

He sat in the autumn sun outside an interesting little tea shop. He had a steaming cup of a lapsang suchong blend that made the air smell like a campfire. A subtle scent under the cigarette smoke. Crowley was watching his mobile and chuckling along as another bloody idiot put hot sauce on a cotton tip and stuffed it up his nose and began to wail.

"People will do anything to be famous," he said to himself.

"Lucky you," he agreed. Amber eyes darted around, studying the fae quite closely. The angles of his face that were just a touch too sharp, the light in his eyes that was quite hypnotic. He could see how men of all stripes, good and bad, would fall for Fin.

Unaware of what Crowley was thinking, Fin simply acted on impulse, leaning in and pressing a light kiss to the demon's lips.

Crowley's forked tongue licked at Fin's lips, tasting the dramatic difference between a fae and, oh, say, an angel.

Fin gasped in surprise, but didn't pull away. It was a strange feeling, but he wasn't against it.

"Oh," he said softly, before moving his lips to the demon's jaw.

Crowley tilted his head back just so. It was rather nice. Like little fishes nibbling his toes, but much warmer and more tender. His mind wandered to a place where he wondered how mankind had ever come up with such a thing as kisses and why touch was so very pleasant...then Fin got to the curve of his jawbone and he gasped softly.

Fin grinned at the sound, and then nipped gently at the tender skin.

"Is that the sweet spot?" he purred.

"Mmm," he murmured affirmatively. He still held his scotch and thought he'd be best if he put it down, but in truth he was just a bit paralyzed.

Fin was desperately curious to see if there really was nothing down there, and he pressed a bit closer, his own arousal pressing against the other man's hip.

"Oh! Hello," the demon said in surprise. It really wasn't the first time he'd been presented with such an opportunity. He'd been around quite a long time, after all. But no one had ever been quite so...this.

"I think I should put my drink down," he said quietly.

"Sorry," Fin said awkwardly, drawing away and looking embarrassed.

He turned and laid his glass aside carefully, then looked back to Fin.

"That's quite a package you have," he remarked, not entirely certain what one said in this instance.

"You're being generous, but thanks, I think?" Fin replied awkwardly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be too forward. I didn't realize this would all be so new for you. ...I'm not really well suited to be anyone's first."

"I think you're doing just fine," Crowley replied. "It's just a bit odd. You're not like a human. And you're definitely not like a demon...so conversely you're not like an angel, either. I'm not sure what to expect out of you, to be honest."

"Well, what do you want?" Fin asked. "That's what I'm best at, giving people what they desire."

Crowley tilted his head and gave Fin a curious look.

"Like some kind of Genie?" he asked. "If you're Jinn I think I should say goodbye now. I've heard nothing but terrible stories about them."

"No," Fin replied, shaking his head. "I'm dryad trooping, a nymph like fae. I don't fully understand it, but my magic is tied to pleasure, and I am at my best when I'm providing pleasure to others- Or in pain while indulging my own."

"I know more about pain than you could ever imagine," Crowley purred seductively.

Fin shivered at that, but for once he had the sense to be somewhat cautious.

"Oh?" he said softly. "Well, I'd be curious to learn."

"I just bet you would be," Crowley said, his lips curving into a slow smile. "What is your particular pleasure when it comes to pain?"

That smile made him a bit uneasy, and the fae took a very slight step back.

"I don't know, just... Pain. Rough touches, aggressive hands... I'm still learning," he admitted.

"So I imagine you wouldn't enjoy the burning pain of a million year fall from Heaven," he drawled. "Fair enough. I didn't like it much either."

"No, no I don't think that would be very sexy- Do you?" the fae asked, frowning slightly.

"Well it wasn't then, I can't think it might be now," he replied.

"And sexy is what we're aiming for, right?" The fae asked, genuinely unsure if they were on the same page. ...Or even reading the same book.

"In theory," Crowley agreed. "I think I'm at a bit of a loss, though. That neck thing was good. I'm just not entirely certain how I can reciprocate. Might do to just...explore a bit. See what works, bin the rest."
