[ There's such a fine line to toe and Blake rides it as best he can, his hand driving one sense of pleasure, Crowley's lips the other. He doesn't mind marks, never has, and when he was a teenager, he wore hickeys like badges of honor. More than once he was sent home for a sweater just to cover up the excessive necklace of purple marks (only to skip out on the rest of the day, anyway). He's never been particularly shy in that regard.
But sometimes it's different, and Blake considers that as he loses himself in this scenario. They're hardly secretive, but there some things better left between two people, and this act feels like one of them. If nothing else, Blake likes the idea of something he can think on without being obvious, something given to him by Crowley and just for him. It's probably the only marker of exclusivity that John appreciates.
He feels oddly pleased, unable to keep himself from grinning widely. Maybe it's taken years, maybe it's been fundamentally detrimental to Blake's initial cause, but this sort of selfish lifestyle feels deserved on some level and he doesn't concern himself over the details so much now that things have evened out, almost gotten good.
It isn't what he expected, but now he can't imagine giving this up. ]
—you're the smartest person I know.
[ Abrupt, yes, but Blake doesn't seem all that surprised to say so. ]
