[ Crowley's jaw tightens. How does he even begin to answer that? Hadn't Dean just accused him of using Blake or playing games with him? ]
What do you think?
[ Truthfully, the only reason Dean isn't on the receiving end of Crowley's most creative torture is because Blake asked him not to retaliate, because he's quite sure that if he tried, he would be successful. ]
I don't really know what to think when it comes to you and him, alright? If you're here to-- to throw some you touch him again and I'll kill you spiel at me, then get on with it. Or whatever else.
[ Crowley looks at Dean like he's a piece of gum on an expensive pair of shoes and, really, that's exactly how Crowley sees him right now. ]
You're going to be nicer to Blake from now on. You're going to treat him with respect and if the situation presents itself, you're going to keep him safe and do you want to know why you're going to do that?
[ He doesn't miss a beat or give Dean a chance to answer. ]
Because between the two of us, you're the bigger monster here.
[ nicer to blake? respect him? keep him safe? dean wants to scoff, but crowley's words cut him off. immediately, his own attempt at denial starts to bubble up, ready to be lashed out, but a breath passes with dean realizing that what crowley says, accuses him of, it's true.
between the two of them, he really is the monster.
fingers curl into fists at his sides, jaw setting as he struggles with the concept... but it still ends with dean shrugging, the movement stiff though he goes for nonchalance. ]
Fine, whatever. Be nicer and protect him if it comes down to it. Sure. [ pause. ] But don't think for a moment that I ain't gonna still keep an eye on you. I might've been a demon for a weekend, but you've always been one.
And yet I haven't killed a single person in over a year that I've been here.
[ No, if anything, he's saved a few lives, half of them Blake's, sure, but that still counts for something.
If Dean wants to watch, that's just fine, because Crowley's been behaving himself. If he's made mistakes, they haven't been the sort that are any of Dean's concern. ]
You want to watch me? Go ahead. I'll be sure to send you selfies on the regular.
Great, you deserve an award-- or should we start counting bodies from back home, too?
[ though it says something when dean isn't entirely sure which one of them would still come out on top even if they did start counting deaths back home.

I did. Are you here to play knight in shining armor for him?

Awesome. Are we done now?
