[ Blake's given up on fighting the way all of this has come to be easy. He almost expects this sort of even keel provided by their steady relationship, and when he indulges in these quiet moments with Crowley, he doesn't even feel guilty anymore.
His weight presses against the demon. ]
How many favors you think I owe you by now? Haven't really been keepin' count.
[ At least in part because Crowley will keep doing things for Blake simply because he wants to. He likes keeping Blake safe and he likes pulling smiles out of him. ]
I have to collect them so that you can't go anywhere.
Something tells me you don't gotta worry too much about that. Some days I hardly leave the room.
[ Not that he's blaming you, Crowley. Not at all, nope. ]
Course, I blame you for that. Didn't I used to be a principled, ambitious, active member of this community?

[ And Crowley will take all the credit for than, thanks. He's rubbed off in multiple spectacular ways on one John Blake. ]

[ But how can he complain? Without Crowley around, he'd have certainly made it to his fifth death by now. ]
