It's ugly enough that he almost regrets catching it - "in terms of fitting in, and the like. I think it'll widen my, you know, things. Horizons. As a person."
"You're not a person."
"Oh, you know what I mean. And stop curling your lip like that - I'm sure you can't have an informed opinion on everything, my dear. I mean, have you ever fallen in love?"
Crowley looked at him for a very long moment.

And I'd just like to talk to you, period, cos it's been a Very Long Time.)
*hugs you*
