Eric hid his face and shrugged. ”It’s okay. Dean’s busy sometimes.” He kept his voice level, and though Crowley knew there was something more to share, he didn’t mention it. He just nodded.
“He’s probably out helping a soul in pain.”
Zad finagled the blanket out from under them and covered the three of them with it. “Well, he can join when he gets back,” he said. “Until then, let’s cuddle.”
Crowley nodded, and Eric snuggled close, happy to be sandwiched between them. ”Love you guys,” he murmured. Crowley laughed.
“Narcissist.”
Zad chuckled at the joke and wrapped his arms around the both of them, pulling them close.
