[ Crowley makes quick work of sweeping the glass away, even checking the bottom of his slippers to make sure he's not going to track glass anywhere else. He checks Blake's path to the bathroom, too, before he starts to slip out of his clothes.
After what they've just done, he could use at least a thorough rinsing and, if he's truthful, he doesn't want to leave Blake alone for too long, either, so he slips into the shower behind Blake. ]
[ It's taken this long, but he's started to feel a bit more human. Noting Crowley's presence far later than he should, John reaches up and adjusts the temperature of the water to something a little warmer. ]
Not sure they're worth that much, even.
[ He feels raw and burdened, off-center in a way that's uncommon. Honestly, he can remember one other time feeling this shaky, and that had been after a considerable number of murders and one famous rooftop blowjob. ]
[ Crowley sighs and moves closer until he can wrap his arms around Blake and gather him closer. This is worth protecting. It will always be worth protecting, he reminds himself. No matter what future Wonderland brings them, he's going to stay right where he is with Blake. ]
[ Really, it's not so much the worth as the quality of the thoughts John's worried about. Leaning back against the comfort of his companion, he closes his eyes and allows the moment to feel justified, not like he's being selfish at all. ]
You always take good care of me.
[ How long has he been maintaining that now? Years, it seems. ]
I like taking care of you, you know. I want you to be safe and happy, as much as you can be in this place.
[ He lets the water wash over them and he just presses his face into Blake's wet skin. Everything he needs is right here in this apartment. Blake and the animals could make up his whole world and he thinks he would be happy. ]
And any other place we might wind up after we leave Wonderland. Together.

Your thoughts are worth a lot more to me.
[ He leans in to kiss Blake's temple. ]
And I'll always come.
