[ Crowley's sleeping off another dose of blood quite soundly when he hears the glass shatter. He bolts upright in bed, breath coming up short as he tries to orient his thoughts and figure out where he is and what that could be. When he puzzles out that it's probably Blake, he climbs out of bed quickly and grabs his slippers before heading downstairs to turn on a light. ]
Darling? Everything alright in here?
[ He steps into the kitchen in a pair of worn pajama pants and a T-shirt that he's clearly swiped from Blake. ]
[ It's almost too automatic. He would have rather Crowley not notice at all, especially since he's sleeping (which is an obvious sign of Crowley's blood use in of itself).
Head still dipped, he reaches out and grabs a kitchen towel, quick to wrap it around his hand. ]
[ Crowley walks closer, thankful for the slippers when he kicks a small shard of glass. ]
I'll go back in a bit. Come here.
[ He reaches for Blake's injured hand. Even at full demonic strength, Crowley's not much of a healer, but he can still help. There are human ways to help and he desperately wants to take care of Blake, because he can't help all the emotional hurt that Blake is facing, but he can bandage a wound. ]
[ John's decent at evasion and he practically rolls away to stalk from Crowley, off to get himself a broom and a dustpan, glass crinkling under his boots.
He pumps his fist and he can feel there's still a piece of glass in there, but it offers him a satisfying amount of clarity, brought along with the pain it causes. ]
It's better I clean up own messes.
[ Blake means that in more ways than one, really, though at this point he feels it also reflects strongly on his state of mind at the moment. ]
[ Crowley knows it's not about him, but it still stings a little. He'll blame that on the blood, but there would have been a little sting either way, he thinks. ]
Don't be stupid. You've cleaned up after me. Let me return the favor.
[ He follows after Blake, slow but it's clear that he's not letting Blake just walk away. ]
[ The insistence rubs him the wrong way and John tries to shove past Crowley again, though he doesn't appear to have nearly as much momentum as he probably should.
He's tight and terse and frustrated and he doesn't want to have to take Crowley's help, even if he knows they really are better together.
Pushing into the demon's space, he grinds out a few words. ]
Back off.
[ Or don't. He'll probably react the same either way. ]
[ Crowley doesn't back down that easily, not even for Blake. He can growl as good as the next dog. ]
You told me to keep you grounded, so I'm keeping you grounded here, alright? Stop trying to push me away like I'm going to leave when you know I'm not.
[ John looks momentarily perturbed, his expression tight and showing signs that can easily be mistaken for betrayal. He squeezes his fists, just barely stopping himself from lashing out. ]
Can you just-? We can... talk about this later. Think I just wanna...
[ What? He just doesn't know what he wants to do. ]
[ John considers a compromise, but he doesn't feel much like giving in. With the demon so nearby, he lashes out with a nearly unnatural speed and grabs Crowley by the face, bloodied hand and all, kissing with desperation and heat and upset and nearly every emotion he can muster. ]
[ Crowley's really never been squeamish about a bit of blood. It's hard to be in his line of work. Blake's kissing him like it's a fight and maybe it is, but Crowley doesn't mind that, either.
He hooks his fingers in Blake's belt loops, hauling him closer until they crash together with an almost bruising force. The things Blake does to him are ridiculous, but he loves every second of it, biting at Blake's lips and pushing at him to try to walk his back into the counter. He can feel the wetness of Blake's blood on his face and he can feel Blake's sharp hip bone against his own and his cock twitches in his pajama bottoms. ]
[ It doesn't occur to him to be startled, to care that all of this is taking place in his pristine kitchen, that the glass being ground finer and finer is going to be hell to clean up. This is easier. This is so much easier than talking or thinking of digging glass out of his hand.
Pushed back, he collides with the counter and the cabinets, his whole body jarred, and not painlessly. But it feels good — better than it should — so he encourages Crowley on with leading hips and a forceful kiss, with one gripping hand and one slipping hand doing all they can to make them both feel like they're equal measures of mess.
When he comes up for a breath, it's only good for second of relief from the punishment he's inflicting on them both and then he's got his head back in the game. He claws for the waistband of Crowley's pants and leans forward to sink his teeth into the demon's shoulder, right through the shirt, more bruising pressure than a piercing bite. ]
[ Crowley groans, diving into all of it with biting enthusiasm. Blake is all over him and Crowley eats up every second of it, rocking his hips against Blake without much worry for the pain of the counter at his back.
If this is what Blake needs, Crowley will give it more than willingly, because he always needs Blake any way he can get him. ]
Tell me what you need.
[ He leans his head back, huffing out a heavy breath as one of his hands finds its way down to cup Blake through his pants. ]
[ He almost bites a harsh reminder that he doesn't need Crowley's help, but instead of chastising the demon, he practices what he's hoping to preach. Practiced in making do, he's able to shuffle around Crowley's hand, Blake's hardened cock a sure sign that he's at least somewhat of a sound enough mind to know what he's doing. Silence is the only answer that Crowley receives and he accentuates it by roughly pushing the other man's pants to the floor.
His hands quickly fumble with his belt and trousers and he knows this is wrong — this isn't the right way to deal with anything — but he's in no mood to stop himself, just as Crowley's in no mood to argue against it.
Halfway through his task, he shoves a hand at Crowley's shoulder, pressing him toward the corner junction of the counter, pushing him away, turning him around. ]
[ Or Blake can just show him. Crowley's used to his lack of verbosity as it is. This might be a new height to Blake's lack of words, but Crowley will take it.
Sex has always been the easiest way for Crowley to express his feelings to Blake, anyway, so he's hardly going to throw stones here. Blake pushes at him, directing with his hands, and Crowley goes where he's put, parts around his ankles as he turns and braces his hands on the counter top.
His breaths are coming more ragged now as he bends over for Blake. Maybe this isn't the most appropriate course of action, but it's clear they're on the same page here about it and that's what matters. ]
[ John's not interested in hesitating. He doesn't think about any half-sincere announcements over the network about wearing a condom or being careful about sex. He spits into the palm of his hand and rubs a mixture of too many bodily fluids on his dick, lost in the intensity of the moment and oddly focused.
He'd be better off if Crowley hadn't turned on the light, but in the stark brightness of the kitchen all he can think about is how he'll give Crowley blood if he wants it, though maybe not in the expected manner.
There's hardly a pause before he's pressing forward, finding no time for preparation, but expecting Crowley will come (quite literally) out the other side just fine. ]
[ Crowley's closer to human now than normal, but he's still not human. He can take a lot and he enjoys rough sex. This is hardly the first time there's been blood involved, either. Maybe this is what they both need right now.
He groans and braces himself, letting Blake set the pace. His breath is already getting rough as he bows his head. ]
[ There's no real finesse, none of the markers that suggest Blake's skilled in the bedroom. He doesn't spare moments for the details because he doesn't want to think about anything except— except nothing, and since that's not possible, he'll make this work.
Crowley gives him a lot by doing nothing at all, and before long John's head's dropped back and he's following an ever-increasing rhythm. His breath hitches with exertion, with each powerful thrust. By all rights, this shouldn't take long. ]
[ Crowley's breath hitches with each thrust until he's moaning. It's so good, even when it feels wrong like this, and he thinks he couldn't possibly want anyone else the way he wants Blake, because it's not about force or lust or blood, but something so human that it practically skips past humanity and moves onto something else. ]
Th-that's right. Come on.
[ He rocks back against Blake, afraid to move either of his hands to his cock and lose his balance. ]
[ It's not all that likely that Blake's going to offer a reach-around here, but he is spurred on by the demon's words. His breath turns almost ragged as he does what he's told and pushes through to the other side.
The release is like a dam breaking, like he's had blue balls for months. He grunts, the last several thrusts practically punishment in their own right. For several seconds he stands there, cock buried, motion stopped, hangs gripped tight, and he just breathes.
This might be what he needed, but John's not sure he feels any better. ]
[ Crowley's just at the edge when Blake finally finishes and with that he's able to move his hand down and it only takes a few strokes to push him over the edge, himself.
His knees buckle and he almost falls against the counter. With labored breaths, he wipes his hand on the counter--something to deal with later--and reaches back for Blake's thigh to squeeze it. Crowley's of the opinion that everyone needs a rough fuck sometimes. He's happy to supply Blake with a rough fuck if it keeps him out of a rough fight. ]
[ It's kept Blake out of this particular fight, but he's not as close to done with the tension in the pit of his stomach as he'd like to be. He releases Crowley a moment later and moves to collect up his pants. Silent. Maybe a bit ashamed he got so carried away.
Tugging up his trousers, he buttons them and leaves his belt hang. There's blood and glass and more mussing up his perfect kitchen, but John's head hangs low and he ignores it as he leans heavily against the island to catch his breath, fingers picking carelessly at the small pieces of glass still in his hand. ]
[ Crowley takes a moment to catch his breath before he turns around. ]
Will you at least let me get you tweezers for that?
[ He sounds admonishing as he reaches for his own pajama pants, pulling them back up and checking that his slippers are still secure before he steps back into the glass towards Blake. It's as if this has all been perfectly standard for him. ]
[ It's muttered and for whatever reason Blake feels it's appropriate to ignore Crowley's offer, even after all of this. He pushes off the counter and crunches back through the glass. Nevertheless, their fingers brush as he passes. ]
[ Of course, Crowley will clean this while Blake showers. He doesn't mind doing it and Blake deserves to be taken care of. It's the one thing Crowley knows for sure. ]
