It was Bobby's turn to get dinner this week, which put even more pressure on him. He had no idea what kind of food his demon liked, he didn't even know if his demon ate. He was literally on the edge of his seat all day.

Finally he decided to pull Cas over. "Dodemonseat?" He asked.

"Dode mon seat?" Cas asked, his face scrunched.

" .Eat." Bobby whispered quietly.

Cas smirked. "Oh. I believe so."

"What am I supposed to get?" Bobby asked. He sorted of wished Gabriel had heard him and Crowley at this point, there would be a little more jokes but he might know how to help better.

Castiel shrugged. "Something warm?"

Bobby sighed, "Idjit."

Bobby wound up picking up chicken and sides from one of the local restaurants. He wished he had asked Crowley what he liked to eat. The closer it got to 6 the more nervous Bobby got. He would have almost preferred a second apocalypse.

Which he might be getting tonight at dinner.

At 5:30 Sam went downstairs to get the extra chair and set it right next to where Bobby usually sat.

At 5:34 Gabriel came, proclaiming he wasn't going to miss Bobby's date for anything. Even if all of Heaven fell apart.

At 5:42 Samandriel and Adam showed up, big goofy smirks on their faces.

At 5:49 Dean had made everyone sit at the table.

At 5:58 Bobby was about to send everyone home, or kill himself.

Castiel was trying to give him reassuring glances. Or at least that is what Bobby thought Cas was trying to do. He wound up looking someone who was looking directly into the sun. Bobby was trying not to jitter as the boys practically stared at him.

"So you don't want to tell us a bit about your special friend before we meet them?" Gabriel asked. "Do we have to avoid the angels and demons thing?"

"No." Bobby said. "They know."

"Gender neutral noun." Sam noted.

"Well then its not a woman." Adam said. "Good that would be awkward."

Gabriel laughed.

"Come on Bobby. Its not like any of us are going to care if you are picking up twigs in the springtime." Dean said. "Or are you feeding the kitty?"

"I can assure you that he is not feeding the kitty." Crowley said appearing in the kitchen.

Bobby felt like the moment of silence before everyone erupted would last forever.

"CROWLEY?!" Dean exclaimed.

"Bobby you can't be serious." Sam deadpanned.

Gabriel sat there, jaw slack, speechless for once.

"A demon?" Samandriel asked.

"What?" Adam added. Adam hadn't met Crowley, if it wasn't for Dean and Sam freaking out he wouldn't even know it was a big deal.

Castiel jumped up to keep Dean from moving towards the demon. "That's wonderful, Bobby. I'm so glad you are happy even if it is with a demon." Cas tried.

Dean looked at Cas like he grew three heads. "You are kidding me right? If Bobby's someone special is Crowley..."

"Bobby has to be under some kind of spell." Sam finished. "You aren't drinking demon's blood are you?"

Crowley laughed, coming up and putting a hand on Bobby's shoulder. "Love, your moose and squirrel are in absolute panic."

Bobby felt uncomfortable with the public display. Especially with the boys freaking out. Not that he had expected otherwise. "I ain't drinking no damn blood Sam. You and Dean sit down and shut up for a second."

Gabriel finally snapped out of it and pulled Sam down by the sleeve. "Well that's an interesting term of events."

"Bobby he is a demon." Dean said still standing.

"I am the son of the devil." Cas said. "Does that make me any less deserving of you?"

Dean sat down, but only to be closer to Cas. "Of course not, but.."

"Bobby and Crowley have been very happy for the past two months. You will not ruin this Dean Winchester." Castiel cut him off.

"Two months?" Sam said turning to Bobby.

"Wait Cas you knew?" Dean said.

Bobby looked up at Crowley. "Well you might as well sit down, this is going to last awhile."

Adam was looking between the men, but said nothing still. Samandriel looked distrustful but said nothing.

Gabriel had a big goofy grin, like he had just been given a new toy.

Crowley sat down, but he looked quite awkward in Bobby's kitchen in the pristine suit surrounded by men in plaid. "Well I didn't get punched." Crowley said softly to Bobby.

"Yet." Dean answered before looking back at Cas. "You knew about this and you didn't tell me? Bobby needed my help."

"I don't even believe it." Sam said. "Gabriel, what did you do?"

Cas sighed. "Now would all of you just stow your crap. Bobby is happy. You all noticed it. We should be happy for Bobby, and we should accept that Crowley is what is making him happy. So lets all act like one big normal human family instead of a bunch of..." Castiel played with the word in his mouth, "Idjits. Did I use it right?"

"You did beautifully." Crowley laughed. "Sounded just like the old man."

Bobby grumbled, "You're a hell of a lot older than me."

"Interesting choice of words Robert." Crowley purred.

Dean noticed Crowley's hand on his father's knee and almost threw up. Between that and the conversation they were having.

"Can't you behave." Bobby answered.

Gabriel smirked. "I like this."

"GABE!" Sam exclaimed.

"I don't like it." Dean added.

"I assure you I am a more than proper addition to Team-Daddy-Issues." Crowley said.

Castiel decided he was the only sane being there. He got up and took the food from the oven where it was placed to keep warm and put it on the table. "Everyone eat, this is our only time when all of us are together and you are going to enjoy it. You are also going to put aside whatever prejudices you have against the demon who tried to help us kill..." Cas couldn't even say his father's name. "and act like family. For Bobby."

Crowley arched an eyebrow, Castiel was an interesting being.

It turned out that Crowley had never had fried chicken, and he really didn't want to start.

Dean and Sam ate quietly, watching him carefully. They were used to talking about work, but the demon didn't need to know about heaven, hunts or the portable devil's traps.

"Do you all really eat like this?" Crowley said poking at the chicken. "I am surprised you are still alive. Do any of you know how to cook?"

Gabriel snicked again, causing Sam to elbow him. "We eat fine."

"And I suppose you know how to cook?" Dean said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"More of a baker." Crowley answered trying not to get snotty with the summarized Winchester, for Bobby's sake.

Gabriel, if possible, was even more okay with this. "Well I approve."

Sam sighed.

"Well Samandriel. How about being team Crowley? Eh?" Gabriel said.

Samandriel was like a dear in the headlights. "Err. Maybe."

Adam sighed pulling on Samandriel's arm. "We are just going to go, you guys have plenty to figure out."

With that Samandriel popped both boys out, they couldn't take it anymore.

"This was a mistake." Bobby said.

"You heard him Crowley, you two are done, off you go." Dean said.

Bobby sighed, he reached over and took Crowley's hand interlacing their fingers. He looked over at the demon, "I am sorry, I really thought the boys would be more mature."

"I didn't." Crowley said. "Its fine love. I deal with worse, king of hell remember?"

Sam felt a pang of guilt. He would be lying if he said that he didn't notice Crowley was softer with Bobby, and Bobby did seem happy.

Crowley leaned into Bobby, whispering something in his ear.

Dean could have swan he heard him say, you're worth it.

Bobby blushed a little. "I'll talk to them." He said in response.

Crowley nodded, and he was gone.

"I still like him." Gabriel shrugged. "King of hell, more like King of sass."

Sam shook his head.

"I don't trust him." Dean added.

"I do." Castiel said. "It really only matters if Bobby does though."

Bobby hated feelings talk, or even addressing that he had feelings. "Dean, Sam. I really appreciate your concern. But I am a grown ass man and I can make my own damn decisions. I love you boys, you gotta trust me on this okay."

Sam averted his eyes, feeling embarrassed.

"I will put up with him, but don't think for a second I am going to like it." Dean grumbled before getting up and walking out of the kitchen.

Castiel frowned. "I will talk to him."

"Sorry Bobby." Sam said finally. "I just didn't think.."

"No you didn't." Bobby said.

"I'll be better next Sunday?" Sam tried.

"You really think there is going to be a next Sunday?" Bobby practically spat.

Sam frowned, "Come on Bobby. If you can love him, we can all learn to."

Bobby would have normally told Sam that he didn't love Crowley, but that would have been a lie.

Later that night when Crowley showed up Bobby was already laying in bed. Dean had avoided him for the entire night, Sam had too. Gabriel had been rather chatty but only because he had hyped himself up on sugar.

"Hello lover." Crowley purred laying down next to Bobby.

Bobby allowed the demon to pull him into an embrace, "That was a disaster."

"No that was the Winchesters. Grumpy and Gigantor are just protective of you. Growley would probably snarl at you too." Crowley said laying his head against the older hunters chest.

"I don't think I want to take my chances with a hell-hound." Bobby said.

Crowley chuckled and settled into Bobby. "I think you owe me a little something. Because of the boys."

"What if they hear?" Bobby asked.

"What if I don't care." Crowley answered bringing his lips to the other man.

Dean was not happy in the morning.

"It wasn't us I swear!" Sam exclaimed as Bobby came down in the kitchen.

"What are you idjits fighting about?" Bobby said moving towards the coffee pot.

"Gabriel and Sam were at it all night!" Dean complained.

"Why don't one of you angels mojo up some sound proof walls." Bobby said.

"That would be an abuse of power." Gabriel said. When the others turned on him confused he chuckled. "Was that a good Samandriel impression or what?"

"I'll get on that later." Castiel said.

"Good because I gotta go." Gabriel said standing on the tip of his toes and giving Sam a kiss. "Hopefully i won't have to explain to heaven why I basically have a demon as a father in law."

Before Dean could complain Gabriel was gone.

"I think I should get a job." Castiel said.

"Going back to heaven?" Dean asked. "That would be good for you."

"Actually I was going to see if Crowley would let me work in hell." Castiel answered.

Sam choked on his cereal.

"Do you see what this Demon has done?" Dean explained.

"Sam I gotta show you something." Bobby said motioning to follow him.

When the room was clear Castiel went on. "It would be good for me. Crowley would make sure that I was safe, and I could be close to my father."

"Your father the devil." Dean deadpanned. "Your father who turned you total darkside, who was there when you murdered hundreds of angels. You think that would be good for you?"

"If what I got from my father is darkness than I am darkness. Darkness is me." Castiel answered. "Always has been, always will be. Dean, don't you see? It is that darkness that makes me break the rules. To fight against the tyranny of heaven. It was a gift."

Dean got scared when Cas talked like this. Not just because of what Cas was, but because he didn't want the angel to leave him again. "And what would you do in hell Cas?" He tried not to sound sarcastic, he really did.

"I don't know." Castiel answered. "Don't you ever just wish you could see John? No matter what he did to you."

"My father was not the devil Cas." Dean reminded.

Cas sighed, steadying himself. Sometimes when he got angry his power had become uncontrollable. "My father was betrayed by his family." Cas said.

"Your father was betrayed by his ego." Dean responded.

"Your father was an abusive lunatic who killed thousands on a persona vendetta!" Castiel exclaimed. "You don't think that any of those so called monsters or demons could have been innocent. Your father has you so brainwashed that you can't even see anything besides his bias."
Castiel didn't even wait for a response from Dean, he popped off.

Crowley didn't usually come during the day, but he figured since the boys knew it wouldn't hurt to pop in. Truth was that he was feeling needy, dangerously so.

What he didn't want though was to hear a lovers spat between the Winchester and his angel. He tried to leave unnoticed but then squirrel came marching through the living room.

"Have you added listening to other people's conversations to your long list of shitty qualities?" Dean barked.

"I think the word you are looking for is eavesdropping." Crowley answered. "And no I was looking for Robert but he probably scattered when you two had your tiff. You weren't very nice to Castiel for the record."

The look in Dean's face said, oh so now the demon is telling me I am not nice. "Nobody asked you Crowley."

"No. But I a giving you my advice anyway princess. That angel raised you from hell, my hell, he has been by your side for all your melodramatic antics. He loves you, but he will also always love his father. So the sooner you get used to that the sooner you and feathers can get back to...whatever it is you do." With that Crowley swept out of the room, sick of the touchy feely conversation.

Dean was left speechless, staring at the spot where Crowley stood. Fucking demons.

Crowley found Bobby in the yard, showing Sam something under the hood of a car.

"Robert, seeing you elbows deep in the hood of a car makes my loins ache." Crowley said.

Bobby bolted upright, hitting his head on the good of the car. "Dammit Crowley."

Sam would have laughed if he wasn't so uncomfortable.

Crowley chuckled but said nothing.

"Slow day in hell?" Bobby asked, slightly annoyed.

"I figure that since the boys knew I wouldn't have to sulk around in the darkness anymore." Crowley answered moving behind Bobby and wrapping his arms around him.

"Isn't that kind of your thing?" Bobby replied.

This time Sam did laugh.

Crowley ignored the comment, "Big-Little Winchester and his angel were having a spat, is that why you two are hiding out here?"
