Summary: Crowley muses on his one true love, his bentley.***
Crowley scowled at the dark grey sky threatening to snow overhead. It was not the snow itself that bothered him, since he never believed that the snow would be cold or wet or slushy. Actually, for some odd reason, the snowflakes would seem to almost float away from him as fast as they could.
Instead, it was the fact that the snow always seemed so? pure at first, but through no fault of its own, it would quickly tarnish. The snow was a lot like he was, and it infuriated him.
He watched as the flakes of snow started to drift down from the sky, and then promptly ignored the snow. He had better things to do than become philosophical about snow and life and personification of said snow and said life.
He walked to his black Bentley; his wonderful Bentley with its oh so quirky habits. Although, he couldn't believe that the Bentley thought that he loved Queen. That aspect of the Bentley's personality was creepy, since it thought he loved Queen when the only reason he listened to Queen was the fact that the Bentley liked Queen.
He would do anything for his Bentley and he had done some truly despicable things (well, despicable for a demon anyway). He had stopped and helped a lost child find her mother. He had rescued a kitten from a tall tree, and worse of all, he had not caused any traffic accidents or incidents of road rage for a whole week.
The angel had thought he had been sick because of that, but how could he be sick? He had done something for his Bentley, and no matter what, that made everything better.
Moreover, the Bentley was the only thing in his life that was not tarnished by his presence. Even the Angel had become tarnished from coexisting with him for nigh on to six thousand years. The angel was only one step from falling, and even that step was slowly being eradicated. He did not want the angel to fall, but he could do nothing to prevent it. The only thing he had control over was his life, and even his life was not his own. His life was his Bentley's, and he would do anything for the Bentley. He would live for the Bentley, and more, he would love for the Bentley.
