[ As Blake says this, he tears the paper from his notebook and steps back over, sitting on the edge of the bed near Crowley once more. He doesn't hand it over, though, not yet. ]
But you're not gonna judge me based on how the entirety of my work only fits on one page, are you?
[ With a rueful smile, Blake offers over the notes. They're mostly half thoughts and tenuous leads, but he's certainly managed to stretch that riddle far. ]
Didn't even want to do this, y'know? Just... put it off an' put it off that first day or so.
[ Crowley takes the paper in one hand, wrapping the other around Blake without a thought. ]
Yeah? I jumped right on it when I saw that stupid thing. Figured someone has to solve it. Might as well be me. Kevin's a smart kid, too. We were covering twice as much ground that way.

Sure. Share an' share alike.

[ Call it a momentary lapse in whatever faith he has, but he seems too be righting himself again.
He places a hand on Crowley's thigh. ]
Sure I can't convince you to sleep with me instead?
[ So purposely worded. John should be ashamed of himself, but he's not. ]
action;
Once we have the sword, we'll do a lot of that.
[ He kisses Blake again, this time more insistent. ]
A lot.
action;
Mm. Now I know you're serious 'cause you're turnin' down sex. Guess that means I'd better get to work.
action;
[ He smiles against Blake's lips, staying close. ]
But yes, I'm serious about keeping us safe.
action;
[ And he can't help but go in for one last kiss, something he holds Crowley to with a hand in his hair. ]
Now get outta here. Don't forget to let Kevin sleep.
action;
[ Oh, does he looks self-satisfied? Because he feels it. ]
